DELTONA, Florida – An 11-year-old boy was perp walked to his jail cell on Monday after allegedly writing a "kill list" of all the people he wanted to target at his school.
Video shows Karson Curry being marched into a cell after his alleged threats at Highbanks Learning Center in Deltona, Florida.
"The 11-year-old is facing a felony charge of making a written threat to kill," the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.
"While school threats are down recently, Sheriff [Michael] Chitwood is continuing to stress to students and parents that these types of threats will result in felony charges."
Authorities learned Curry had no access to weapons, but they sought to make an example out of him.
It was not immediately clear exactly whom Curry was allegedly targeting and if he would face any discipline from his school.
The Daily Mail called Curry's perp walk "surreal," and reported his arrest "comes just two weeks after an 11-year-old at another learning center in Volusia County was taken into custody over an alleged kill list.
"Aahriyanna Reed was accused of jotting down the names at her desk at Riverview Learning Center on October 27.
"Although she told deputies she was 'just playing,' she was arrested and perp walked from the police cruiser and into a jail cell."

Republicans in the U.S. Senate, who agreed with Democrat demands to discuss extending heightened Obamacare subsidies in order to end the record-setting Schumer Shutdown of the federal government, have delivered more bad news to the minority party.
They are linking the Democrats' demands that emergency additional subsidies be continued to a new effort to enforce already existing federal abortion limits.
The shutdown triggered, and maintained, by many votes by Senate Democrats against opening the government, was partly over heightened subsidies for Americans getting health insurance through the hugely troubled Obamacare system.
The Democrats, then in the majority, had approved "emergency" additional subsidies a few years back. Then they continued those additional subsidies several times. But they scheduled them to end at the conclusion of 2025, and they are not in the majority now to push them into another extension.
The problem is that the failings within the Obamacare system are expected to trigger huge increase in premiums for Americans getting those policies starting January 1.
The shutdown is concluding now, with legislation being approved in the Senate, and House, to reopen government operations.
The GOP promise was that those Obamacare extensions would be discussed.
And discussed they will be, along with those abortion funding limits.
A report at Breitbart explains Sen. Majority Leader John Thune said, "A one-year extension along the lines of what [Democrats] are suggesting, and without Hyde protections — doesn't even get close."
Republicans simply want to block states from allowing people to access abortions through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces using state or other funding, the report said.
Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., has indicated he's open to extending the subsidies, but said Republicans won't support it without the abortion restrictions, the report said.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and a radical abortion advocate, claimed the GOP now wants a "backdoor national abortion ban."
He called for Democrats to "dismiss" the plan that would enforce existing abortion limits, and extend Obamacare subsidies.
The enhanced Obamacare subsidies first were begun during the COVID pandemic created by the China virus.
The report said without an extension of the subsidies, "individuals who purchase health insurance through Affordable Care Act marketplaces will see steep premium rises — some by thousands of dollars a month — beginning next year."
Thune said the GOP requests aren't complicated, a "more stringent enforcement of longstanding restrictions on federal funding being used for abortion, known as the Hyde Amendment."

Already, mortgage-fraud charges have caught up with New York Attorney General Letitia James and ex-FBI chief James Comey, both of whom were involved in multiple lawfare cases against President Donald Trump.
A third name soon could be on that list, ardent anti-Trumper Rep. Eric Swalwell of California.
A columnist's post at the Gateway Pundit explains Swalwell apparently has no residence in California, which he represents, possibly running afoul of legal requirements.
It is columnist Joel Gilbert who charges that Swalwell, who has been criticized in recent years for his "alleged ties to the Chinese spy 'Fang Fang,'" and his "removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national security concerns," might be in serious trouble.
It's because Swalwell, on legal documents, formally has declared that his Washington, D.C., property is his "principal residence." That affirmation comes on his public Deed of Trust for his home.
He made that statement as a condition for a loan on the property.
He apparently has no residence listed, either as owned or rented by him, in California, the report said.
"Under Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, members of Congress must be 'inhabitants' of the state they represent at the time of their election," Gilbert wrote. "In California, maintaining this inhabitancy means holding tangible, verifiable ties to the state, such as owning or renting a residence, registering to vote, paying state income taxes, and possessing a California driver's license."
In fact, the California Elections Code insists a domicile is "the place in which his or her habitation is fixed" and "the place where a person intends to return and remain."
The report explained, "If Swalwell's true domicile is in Washington, DC, the city where he has declared his principal residence, he may no longer meet the basic requirement of being a California 'inhabitant.' Public records searches have not revealed any home ownership or lease under Eric Swalwell's name in California."
The report noted, "Failure to maintain a legitimate residence in California could expose Swalwell to legal, ethical, and electoral repercussions. A false declaration of residency risks tax violations, misrepresentation to lenders, and challenges to his eligibility for re-election."
The report noted that Swalwell's listed indebtedness has remained unchanged mostly since 2011, and he holds more than $50,000 in student loan debt, more than $15,000 in credit card debt to American Express and Chase Bank, and more than $1 million for a home loan.
The column charges, "It is time for Eric Swalwell to come clean. As he declared his Washington, DC house as his principal residence, while not disclosing any verifiable domicile in California, he is deceiving both his lenders and his voters. The law is clear: a member of Congress must remain an inhabitant of the state they represent. By abandoning any genuine California address, Swalwell risks disqualification and betrays the very district that elected him."

In a land that has been turned from a desert into lush croplands, a first-of-its-kind project is taking place: Israeli officials are replenishing a depleted water level in the freshwater Sea of Galilee with washed ocean water.
Precipitation in the drainage has been scarce in recent years, only 40% of what was expected last year, and the location provides water to vast regions around it.
So, according to a report in the Times of Israel, the lake with the "dangerously low" level was being raised as desalinated water is being pumped into it by the nation's Water Authority.
It is the first ever attempt in the world for such a project, the report said.
"The groundbreaking project, years in the making and a sign of both Israel's success in converting previously unusable water into a vital resource and the rapidly dropping water levels in the country's largest freshwater reservoir, was quietly inaugurated on October 23," the report said.
The water is flowing down the seasonal Tsalmon Stream to the Sea of Galilee at the Ein Ravid spring, near what is Israel's emergency drinking source.
The project is expected to raise the water level by a fraction of an inch each month, according to Firas Talhami, in which of water rehabilitation work in northern Israel.
The report noted Israel pulls hundreds of millions of cubic meters annually from the lake to supply local communities and augment its supply of desalinated water, however, that withdrawal is expected to be limited for a time now.
Currently, one pipe is sending about 264,000 gallons of water into the lake per hour.
The report said, "Tests carried out by scientists have indicated that the project will not have any significant deleterious effect on ecosystems, though there have also been some concerns that the desalinated water could harm local ecology by diluting the lake's relatively high salinity."
The work on the project was begun after drought years in 2013 to 2018, when the lake's level dropped significantly.
The report said Israel now desalinates enough water to supply most of its own population, with leftovers for nearby nations.

Students at a Rhode Island high school have responded to one of their teacher's vitriol against slain civil-rights leader Charlie Kirk by starting a chapter of Turning Point USA in his honor.
Fox News reports on the controversy at Barrington High School and spoke to Brayden Ryan, vice president of the new Turning Point USA chapter.
"What inspired me personally to start this Turning Point chapter was the teacher at our school said after Charlie Kirk's death. He made a TikTok about how he has no remorse over him and how he was a hateful person," Ryan said Tuesday.
Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University. Shortly afterward, social studies teacher Benjamin Fillo posted a video saying that Kirk "hated the LGBTQ community" and "hated women's rights." Fillo said that Kirk "thought he proved how tough he was with his words. … What a piece of garbage. Look what happens. … Bye, Charlie!"
Fillo currently is on administrative leave over the incident. Here is his video:
Ryan told Fox News: "I feel like we should give space to other students, a free and safe space to other students, other conservative students, to speak their own personal values, such as their religious beliefs and their political beliefs."
Caleb Kaplan, president of the Turning Point USA chapter, says part of the opposition the new club has received includes a petition drive to reinstate Fillo.
"I'm not going to name any names out of respect, but they have been campaigning or making petitions to get the teacher that we spoke about back in a position," Kaplan said.
"We don't reward hate with hate," added the high-school freshman. "All we do is we push harder and we try to recruit more people to join."

It was called "Operation Dirtbag" and it apparently was well-named as the federal law enforcement sweep apprehended some 150 illegal migrant "sexual predators."
It is a report in the New York Post that described the Florida project's results, as revealed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
They were among more than 230 illegal aliens rounded up in Florida on charges including sexual offenses, drug offenses and even murder.
The "dirtbags" included those who already had been convicted of child molestation and sexual assault, the DHS confirmed.
"This operation was called Operation Criminal Return. I call it Operation Dirtbag, because these individuals were sex offenders, but not just sex offenders, they targeted children," announced Noem in an interview with "Fox & Friends."
"These 150 individuals will be gone off of our streets. Our kids will be safer."
Agencies of the state of Florida, directed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, helped, she said.
"These individuals should have never been in our country to begin with. The fact that they were sexual deviants and perverts, and now we've gotten them off of our streets, it's remarkable. And we need to do more of it," she said.
President Donald Trump's use of the National Guard to address surging crime in various locations already is credited with a 41% decline in robberies and a 35% drop in shootings in Chicago, where state officials have fought the president's every move to help battle crime.

In a result that could be filed under, "Well, Duh!" a new report says leftist, high-tax states like New York and New Jersey recently have lost the taxes on some two-thirds of a trillion dollars in residents' taxable incomes.
It's because residents are fleeing states where gender ideology, communist ideas and socialism is surging.
It is the Unleash Prosperity organization that reported this week that New York lost the ability to tax more than $517 billion in residents' incomes from 2013 to 2022. New Jersey, another enclave of leftists, lost $170.1 billion.
California lost the taxes on $370.1 million in residents' incomes and Illinois lost the taxes on $315.2 billion.
The four states alone, all dominated by Democrat politics and politicians, lost the ability to tax nearly $1.4 trillion in income, and that will continue into the future.
A report at Fox Business said, "The report covers cumulative gains and losses in each state's resident income, as a mover takes their income to another state for subsequent years – not just the first year after their move."
"New York and New Jersey combined have lost two-thirds of a trillion dollars in net income and purchasing power over the last decade due to moving vans departing these states," said Steve Moore, economist and co-founder of Unleash Prosperity, in an interview.
"This has been one of the greatest wealth losses for one region in American history. New Jersey and New York are being bled to death by low tax states in the South," Moore said.
At the other end of the scale was Florida, where a gain of $1 trillion in taxable income was confirmed, as well as Texas, with saw a $290 billion increase.
The report said, "Based on tax filing data from the 2011-12 period through 2021-22, New York lost a net 1.757 million residents to domestic migration, while California lost 1.632 million, Illinois 881,012 and New Jersey 350,111 over that period."
Florida gained nearly 1.6 million and Texas 1.2 million.
The report, according to the New York Post, follows "an election where New Jersey chose to stay left and New York City opted to go farther left.
It explained, "It's not uncommon to look at the one-year losses and gains of income from internal migration such as taxpayers fleeing New York for Florida, but that fails to capture the long-lasting impact: The migrant's income is lost (or gained) year after year for the rest of his or her life."

California Pastor Greg Laurie and his Harvest Crusade movement will visit the site of Charlie Kirk's assassination – Utah Valley University – to bring the Gospel message.
According to a report in the Christian Post, the event will draw around 10,000 attendees.
Known as "Hope for America," the event will be held on Nov. 16 at the campus where Kirk was fatally shot Sept. 10 during a Turning Point USA event.
Harvest Crusade originally had planned to host an event in Utah next summer, Laurie told the paper, but after the assassination, he says, "We immediately reached out to the Utah pastors to offer our support. We asked if there was anything we could do. They responded, 'Come sooner. Our community is hurting.'"
Laurie continued: "We responded by committing to a date only six weeks away. That's a first for us at Harvest Crusades! Normally, we plan events at least a year in advance. But there is an urgency, and we believe the message of the Gospel is the answer."
Laurie, who spoke at a TPUSA Faith event in California in August, was on "The Charlie Kirk Show" earlier this week, where he discussed the event.
"I met Charlie several years ago, and also recently spoke at one of Charlie's pastor conferences," Laurie told the Christian Post. "I have long admired Charlie's incredible work reaching young people and have been a strong supporter of it."
Besides the on-campus event, at UVU, more than 60 congregations in Utah are scheduled to host livestream gatherings.
"Our goal is simple and urgent: to reach as many people as possible with the life-changing message of the Gospel," Laurie said. "We want to offer real hope – hope for this life and the next – that can only be found in Jesus Christ."

The terror-infested United Nations Relief Works Agency, which long has held power in the Middle East, processing and allocating aid to a Palestinian population in Gaza beleaguered by the terrorism of Hamas, is demanding a central role in plans to rebuild the region.
The demands come as a multi-stage peace plan created by President Donald Trump begins to take effect, even despite outbreaks of violence that still are occurring.
Reports reveal that UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini is demanding authority in the rehabilitation program, stating, "UNRWA, with its thousands of Palestinian personnel, has the capacity, expertise and community trust required to provide healthcare, education and other public services to a devastated population."
In a commentary, he demanded, "For decades, the agency's teachers, doctors and engineers have formed a vital part of a functioning system of public services for millions of Palestinian refugees in Gaza and the region."
Problematic, however, is the fact that Secretary of State Marco Rubio already has described the UNRWA as a "subsidiary of Hamas," the terror organization that launched its war against Israel in 2023, invading and killing some 1,200 innocent civilians and kidnapping hundreds more.
The last of those hostages just were released in recent days, and even now the bodies of some of the hostages who were murdered have yet to be returned.
Rubio said, of plans to rebuild in Gaza, "UNRWA's not going to play any role in it The United Nations is here. They're on the ground. We're willing to work with them if they can make it work, but not UNRWA. UNRWA became a subsidiary of Hamas."
A new report posted at CBN explains that an investigation, 10 years long, has "uncovered the truth about terrorist infiltration and indoctrination within UNRWA. UN Watch discovered that 500 employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees were 'involved in terrorism. incitement, and membership in extremist organizations.'"
That means that international aid to Gaza, if UNRWA gets its way, would be directed to members of terror organizations.
The report continued, "UN Watch asserts that it conducted 10 years of research, discovering that nearly 500 UNRWA employees were involved in terrorism, incitement, and membership in extremist organizations. The group is calling on the United States to 'take definitive action to dismantle UNRWA.'"
UNRWA has claimed the allegations are not true.
"But one year ago, Israel passed a law banning UNRWA's operations with Palestinians, thereby ending its cooperation with the agency, which had begun in June 1967," the report said.
"Here at CBN News, we've reported for years on how UNRWA has educated young Palestinians to wage jihad against Israel. In one of our reports, David Bedeen of the Center for Near East Policy Research displayed a page from a textbook used by UNRWA featuring imagery of a female terrorist," CBN confirmed.
Bedeen said, "This is Dalal Mughrabi, who murdered 36 Jews in a terror attack in 1978. And she's glorified in this book, and there's a whole curriculum for her run by UNRWA."
U.S. taxpayers had been funding the UNRWA at the rate of about $400 million a year, until Trump's administration froze those payments when he took office for his second term.

It's more important than climate change, schools, gun violence, health care and inflation.
More significant that the economy, taxes, immigration and abortion.
A higher priority than crime, morals and political divisions.
It's fighting President Donald Trump. It's holding onto Trump Derangement Syndrome.
That's the result of a polling done by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution of Democrat voters in the state.
A full 20% of the Democrats responding said "standing up to Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans" is their most important issue.
Only 17% cited inflation and 15% the economy and jobs.
Longtime Democrat focal points, climate change, abortion, immigration and such all were in single digits.
A report from Townhall said, "The poll found that among likely Georgia Democratic primary voters, 17 percent cited inflation and the cost of living as their top concerns. About 15 percent said the economy and jobs are number one. Yet, when it comes to 'standing up to Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans,' about 20 percent indicated this is their top issue."
GOP respondents in the same polling picked cost of living, 18%, as their highest priority, followed by economy 14%, immigration, 13%, crime 12%. Schools and taxes came in at the high single digit levels.
The report said, "So, despite higher prices at the grocery store and elsewhere (thanks Biden), Democratic voters in the Peach State believe the Orange Man What Is Bad™ is the most pressing issue facing them today. Yes, they are concerned about economic issues when you combine the numbers for inflation and jobs, but the fact that they are still fixated on the president shows how deeply Trump Derangement Syndrome runs among Democrats."
It continued "Imagine being more concerned about who sits in the White House than crime in your communities and the lack of quality education — issues that the president has little control over. These are issues that state and local governments are supposed to address. Yet, too many voters still think the president is the most important issue facing the country."
Social media included several opinions:
"In a new poll out of Georgia, Democrats say their 'single most important issue' is standing up to Abraham Lincoln and anti-slavery Republicans."
"I'll live under a bridge if it means standing up to Trump! That'll show him!"
"DNC convinced a certain demographic to put TDS over prosperity …and they're guzzlin it"."
Interesting to see abortion and climate change have suddenly become non-issues for liberals. Powerful, the TDS is within them."
