High School Student to Face WMD Charge

Hes just a kid that had a thought that "thank goodness" didn't work. I think he'll need to be checked for schizophrenia. He'll end up takeing meds his whole life, but hes still young and can hopefully still have a happy and normal future ahead of him. Yes, locked up for a time to make sure hes meds are right. Hes parents did right by turning him in. I sure hope the best for them. I would assume the mom and dad feel helpless now. They did do what they had to do. Other parent can learn a thing or two from what they had to do, but atleast they didn't pretend it wasn't happening and close their eyes to it the way some parents do.

bijolddena I do have a brother in school there but still can not agree with a thought crime! that would mean that when someone in the press call out that we should just kill thoses @$$^# he would face life for attempted murder. It just does not work! Charge him with planning to commit acts of terror if you want but he was not nor is he in possion of a WMD.

I'm pretty sure if he had bought it from a local lawn and garden store authorities would have been alerted a lot sooner, they actually flag people who buy that stuff, kinda like they do with sudafed now. because they know people use it for stupid stuff like this. I think the Weapon of mass destruction crap is a dumb charge, i mean the attempting to use a bomb and having the materials is one thing, but WMD's. Thats a little bit of reaching on that charge.

I don't think he's being over prosecuting him at all! An earlier post said that they were charging him with a "thought" crime, though he had materials, and intent, he hadn't actually done anything... At what point should he be charged? After he's killed a significant number of students, including himself? I think that your opinion would be different if your child attended his school! I applaud his parents for notifying authoritites, it couldn't have been easy for them... I think he's a very disturbed young man, and too many of these disasters have happened... I'm glad this one was stopped before anyone was actually hurt!
For the person who said "we can't find Bin Laden, so we'll charge this kid..." That was a ridiculous comment, the two have nothing to do with eachother, and it has nothing to do with the NRA... I had several classmates who were killed when a student walked into our school with a gun... Having lived through an experiance like that, my perspective is different...

He looks so familiar. I saw his profile on the celebrities and millionaires dating site wealthybeauty.com last week. It's said he is interested in dating hotties on that site!

An 18-year-old accused of planning to bomb his high school will be charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction since we can't fine Ben Laden.

An earlier poster was right...this really is verging on thought-crime here. He had the materials, he had the intent, but he had not made any attempt, and I want to know exactly what a weapon of mass destruction is defined as. I thought they were things like nukes, and chemical and biological weapons, things that could kill entire cities and designed to kill thousands of people at once. Not something whipped up out of everyday materials.
They're overprosecuting him.

hey uber, dont look now but your stupidity is showing again. this had nothing to do with the N.R.A., heck it didnt even have anything to do with gun control. this little puke was building bombs not guns to use against his classmates(both of which would of been criminal acts which the N.R.A. does not support!)
