Home schooled kid planned school shooting

Written by

So let me get this straight. A homeschooled kid from the Philly suburbs felt bullied? From who? Anyway, because of this alleged bullying, the 14-year-old planned to attack Plymouth Whitemarsh High School. According to this article, police were tipped off when the suspect tried recruiting another teen.

Police found a 9 mm assault rifle, air guns, hand grenades, a bomb-making book, videos of the 1999 Columbine attack in Colorado and violence-filled notebooks, prosecutors said. However, they found no ammunition for the most dangerous weapon, the assault rifle.

What do you know? I think this is the first instance of a home-schooled mutant.

The best part? It’s believed that his mom bought him the gun. Good job mom.

Since all this was going on under the homeschooler’s nose I don’t think he was being schooled all that well.

What the hell is this!!

Was the kid life-long homeschooled, or was he expelled for being creepy and homeschooled now? Something is missing here.

Otherwise, you know what this could mean? The allure to a school shooting may not be revenge, but the ease of terror of a captive audience of your peers.

According to what I just read, all this crap was just laying out in his bedroom. Also had videos of Columbine. I will once again screech my mantra….where are the dumbass, oblivious parents? As much as this little mutant is to blame for the situation he is in, one can’t help but wonder how much his parents are responsible in this case. His idiot mom that bought the freaking 9mm for him can probably thank her stars that her little mutant offspring didn’t kill or shoot anyone. More proof that losers breed losers.

The kid was pulled out of the public school system last year, apparently due to ‘bullying’. However, this kid is like 5’9″ @ 300 lbs. Anyway, he was making hand grenades at home, the mother did indeed purchase him a gun at the Valley Forge gun show, and relatives of this same family had stored guns as well. They came forward and turned over the weapons to police. Why this family felt the need to have an arsenal of weapons, is not yet known.

You’d think at 300 lbs. he would be the bully himself.

Parents? His father served time for manslaughter – drunk driving and killing, and his mom said father was good guy, just trying to do the right thing, by buying his son a “child-size” shotgun. :-O :-O

THIS pisses me off – “I do not think an attack was imminent and I am not certain that an attack was going to occur at all,” District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said. “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.”

Stupid ass D.A.

It just confirms my previous statement…”losers breed losers.”

I’m surprised that, at this point, I haven’t seen the word “trailer” anywhere.
