This is absolute insanity. The man had some nom de plumes, aka "aliases". He wrote two fictional books about a school shooting. Fictional. Books. The Maryland teacher was taken in for "emergency medical evaluation", his home was searched (no weapons were found), the databases were searched (no weapons were registered to him), and he was immediately removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave. Because he wrote fiction that the Powers That Be didn't approve. Thought Police, and you thought Orwell was joking.
WBOC's report HERE and another look at it HERE
Phillips said McLaw was taken in for an emergency medical evaluation. The sheriff would not disclose where McLaw is now, but he did say that he is not on the Eastern Shore. The same day that McLaw was taken in for an evaluation, police swept Mace's Lane Middle School for bombs and guns, coming up empty.
Dorchester County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Henry Wagner said the Dorchester County Board of Education has taken its own action.
"We have advised our community that the gentleman has been placed on administrative leave, and has been prohibited from entering any Dorchester County public school property," Wagner said.
H/T to Christina in LA, another author of fantasy fiction.

Orwell was right, because he merely watched what the Soviets and Fascists did. What's more amazing, is that he still considered socialism a viable plan for a society.
Another nail in that reckoning coffin the thugs, cops and officials are building for themselves... It will end badly for them that is.
Internet vigilantism and honey traps are on the rise. So far, digital avengers have more or less limited their activities to shaming and exposing pedophiles, con men and giant douchebags. However, one can easily see a future where the moral-minded folks dish their harsh citizen justice out on anyone who steps outside the tight parameters of their idea of acceptable behavior.
Looks like Amazon have joined the witch hunt - he still has an author page, but the books are not available for purchase or download at this time.
Way to go PC police, remove both known incomes (teacher/author) from your apparently innocent suspect. I can see the lawyers rubbing their hands in glee already.
I don't think they put Stephen King under house arrest for writing
The Rage.
Then again, he's a full blown moonbat so he's exempt.

Have these idiots ever read the Old Testament, what with the genocide and all?
