He said his classmate did the right thing because they voiced their concern. In this case there wasn't anything to it. But as the article he linked says school shooters hint at their plan beforehand. In fact, disturbing poetry was mentioned specifically as one of the behaviors the Virginia Tech shooter displayed that resulted in reports to the authorities, who proceeded to do nothing.
Much like the authorities in the author's case. At the very least they should have sent him to the school psychologist. Even if he wasn't a risk to others and it was just "emo whining" he could have needed help for his own sake.
So how did black clothing and shitty poetry end up freaking people out? For one, I read this dreck aloud at school instead of keeping it a secret between myself and the paper shredder. This dreck had titles like "American Nightmare" and lines like "We see society running scared / because we are our American nightmares" (I think the "nightmares" were people who spoke the truth or some other equally meaningless bullshit).
Oh, and I wrote this dreck in 1999, mere months after Columbine. That's the kind of pinpoint timing that triggers anonymous kids to call the cops on the dour kid in black bleating out "I look down and I see red / My life has flashed, I want it back."
