Mount Clemens: Resentencing delayed:

Our favorite Michigan Neo-Nazi school shooting wannabe scamp, Andrew Osantowski, has had his resentencing rescheduled again.

The re-sentencing, originally scheduled for Monday, is a result of a recent Court of Appeals decision that upheld Andrew Osantowski’s conviction under Michigan’s 2001 terrorism law.

He was originally sentenced to 4/12 years for plotting an attack against Chippewa Valley High School, but his sentence was appealed by prosecutors, who said the judge did not interpret the law correctly. Osantowski could get an additional 20 years.

    Trench,
    The Michigan terrorism statue was designed to assist law enforcement in dealing with adults who threaten to commit acts of terrorism, not for use against school-aged children.

    Under this law, prosecutors do not have to prove that a student is actually capable of carrying out the threat or that they in fact intended to do it – but just that they said or wrote it.

    Here is the problem: The terrorism law does not distinguish between a student “making” a threat and actually “posing” a threat.

    The difference is huge.

    Do you really think this student deserves a 20 + year sentence for “making” a threat?

    Except Osantowski didn’t just make a threat. He was also in possession of firearms and I believe he would have carried out his threat.
