My news makes me want to VOMIT

[Expendable Grunt]

This evening on the news they had a segment titled

"School Shooting Foiled?"

It was about an 18 year old kid with a bunch of BB guns, and one real rifle. He also had a copy of a book that talks about Hitler, and some videos of Columbine.

The kid was also home-schooled.

I don't see how this points to a school shooting? Hell, I've read some of Mien Kompf, and I've got vids of Columbine on my other PC too, from when I wanted to know more about the incident. I think this is just another witch hunt...

"Oh he's a kid with weapons (question; were said weapons legitimately owned?) who happens to have videos of Columbine and has read up on Hitler...he MUST be planning something!"

While your description does seem to support ^^, I would like to see first hand reporting of such before confirming my outrage.

Tho of course there was recently this one, which I don't remember getting much air time. I guess it's only newsworthy when innocents are killed or if it's a heroic foiling.

he was 14, and had bb & airsoft guns mainly , but also had a real 9mm and some clips.
he was supposivly told on by one of his friends who he tried to recruit to do a "colombine like" attack. the inductee told his dad & dad called cops on the kid.

i mean if the boy was serious the one 9mm was scary enough.

this is from cnn website>

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A home-schooled teenager who felt bullied amassed a cache of guns, knives and hand grenades and tried to recruit another boy for a possible school attack, authorities said Thursday.

The 14-year-old was taken into custody after police searched his bedroom in a Philadelphia suburb on Wednesday evening. He had talked about mounting a Columbine-type attack at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, authorities said.

The weapons included a 9mm assault rifle that the teenager's mother had recently bought for him, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said. Prosecutors are reviewing her actions.

Police also found about 30 air-powered guns, plus swords, knives, hand grenades, a bomb-making book, videos of the 1999 Columbine attack in Colorado and violence-filled notebooks, Castor said. The weapons were plainly visible in the boy's bedroom, Castor said.

The search did not turn up any ammunition for the most dangerous firearm in the bunch, the assault rifle. Authorities said one grenade was operable and three others were still being assembled.

"I do not think an attack was imminent and I am not certain that an attack was going to occur at all," Castor said at a news conference. "It could have simply been big talking by a kid who thought that he was bullied previously and he was going to exact his revenge."

The teen previously attended middle school in the district but had been taught at home for more than a year after voluntarily leaving school, Castor said.

Plymouth Township police searched the home after getting a tip Wednesday from a high school student and his father.

The teen was charged as a juvenile with solicitation to commit terror and other counts and was being held at a youth facility. It was not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer.

Castor declined to name the suspect's parents and said he did not think they had retained lawyers.

"They are now under investigation by us, concerning whether there's any complicity in putting the weapon in this boy's hands," Castor said.

The arrest came the same day a 14-year-old in Ohio opened fire at his Cleveland high school, wounding four before killing himself.

Classes were held as usual Thursday at the Pennsylvania high school

No, but Jack Thompson will use his deductive skills to blame video games. Even if the criminal has a phobia of computers - it was still video games at work.

IRT to the topic
Who knows if the kid would have done anything. Would it have been worth it to wait an see? No. He doomed himself when he mentioned anything about making another columbine.
