On The Bright Side, He Earned An A For Extortion
-
A junior college student says he's sorry for threatening to kill a professor who flunked him unless she changed his grade. Sorry probably won't cut it. He sent her Facebook messages with such warm greetings as “I’m putting a bullet through your f-cking head" and “Change my grade bitch or I’m gonna kill you!” and “I’m coming to kill you tomorrow!!!! (Gun’s loaded.)” He says he's autistic, and the behavior is somewhere on the spectrum; the interesting part is that the professor only learned of the messages after he'd been sending them for about a year, which kind of proves his point that he wasn't planning to actually kill her (he obviously didn't follow through on any of his threats), and if he IS autistic and therefore has social interaction disabilities, how do you punish him?
