Grounded! :-(

I'm grounded. This is my last post (at least for a long, long time). I should have known that the DA and all those three-piece suits would wonder how the ACLU found out about the case of David Josephssen, and that it wouldn't take them very long with Google to find my blog. Diagon's such a small town that anyone seeing the blog would know it was me.

So the DA came around to the house today. I'm not sure if my folks were madder because I had cut classes, or because the DA told them, "I don't want to see that kid around the courthouse again. Ever. Even on the sidewalk. On the other side of the street. And you'd better keep him away from the Internet."

I told them I had to log on one last time to close the account, and they don't know I'm making this post. They're taking away my Powerbook. Mom says that maybe I'll get it back on April 1, if I make straight A's ("An A- doesn't count") on my next report card, but Dad says he'll kick my butt if I don't go out for spring football practice, and that I won't get my computer back until I make the first team. ("And then you won't have time for it.")

Please don't forget that David isn't out of trouble yet. Please do whatever you personally do to keep a kid from being killed: Write your Congressman, pray, make a contribution to ACLU, blog, wring your hands, whatever.

Sincerely,

ACLU will help! :-)

I just got an email from the American Civil Liberties Union saying that they will have an attorney investigate the case, and if my blog is accurate (and it is!) they think there's a strong case for habeas corpus in a federal court that will take the case completely out of Diagon. No way that was a fair trial.

So there's hope for David Josephssen. And I guess some folks in Diagon are going to find out about the power of the blogosphere! And I was the first to blog about it! The only blogger in Diagon! And I did it!!!
