Senior from CHS (my school) EXPELLED for CS Map of the school Options

[*mishyerr*]

This guy named Peter Wang (not sure on spelling) got expelled for a year and arrested recently for creating a very realistic Counterstrike map of our highschool - Clements High School.

He was a senior, and he was going to graduate soon, until some ass-hole random mom turned him in.

He created the map 4 months ago, but there was no mayhem about it until after V.T. and all the other school shootings.

IMO, it was unnecessary to expel and arrest him. They arrested him for finding a "weapon" in his room. The deadly weapon: a regular hammer.

EDIT/
Not a hammer; there were decorative swords in his home.
They are not expelling him, but transferring him to an alternative school and not allowing him to participate in graduation activities.

Protesters are still fighting for him to return to school and be allowed to walk, etc.

This crap basically ruined his senior year. As Arjuna previously stated, he definitely couldn't have been influenced by the Virginia Tech shooting because he created the map four months ago. So they really have no relevant evidence that he was "planning" to do anything. In my opinion, I don't think a hammer can be called a deadly weapon because most people have them in their houses for productive purposes, not to murder people. Also, if that certain parent was so concerned about it, then she should have turned him in earlier, not right after a massacre occurs. Why was he not questioned? I think it's wrong to just arrest someone without any evidence whatsoever that a crime was going to be committed.
