Drawing a picture of you killing your teacher is basically a death threat, so yeah they had grounds to arrest him. The fact that the therapist told him to kinda excuses him though, but maybe the police didn't know?
No, it is not a death threat. You know what a death threat is? "I'm going to kill you." THAT is a fucking death threat. Not violent little pictures. Art cannot be a death threat, no matter how stick figurey.
Did you read the article? He wrote 'Teacher must die!' next to the pictures of HIM killing the teacher.

That's a death threat...
His psychiatrist TOLD HIM TO DO THAT!
Does drawing out frustrations mean you should draw yourself killing people with threats next to it? And even if so, what makes the psychiatrist a definite authority?
