Bloggers are trying not to file charges when a teacher became arrested for posting an anonymous comment online praising the Columbine shooters.
James Buss, a Milwaukee high school chemistry teacher, left a blog comment on www.bootsandsabers.com which is a site about Wisconsin politics.
"The comment, left under the name “Observer,” came during a discussion over teacher salaries after some commenters complained teachers were underworked and overpaid."
"“They knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time!” he wrote, adding they should be remembered as heroes," Buss said.
It's like, this is a blog where open views should be expressed but for a high school teacher to say something like that seems kind of strange.
Some officials said they took it as a threat with him saying "one shot a time" and that referencing Columbine was totally inappropriate.
Where does free speech draw the line in blogs? Are people safe to say anything in blogs?
