wow that is really scary!!!

Was there a different article linked to this that I missed or is this just typical media spin? They were searching for him as a missing person, not a potential sniper. He was arrested for auto theft and the transporting of firearms into Tennessee. The alleged threats were not explained and described as "indirect." They named the kid and included his picture, so why didn't they detail these "threats" in any way?

According to one report, he told a friend he was going to live off the land. Is it possible he intended to use the rifles for say, hunting?! Not to mention the small fact that he drove from northern Ohio to eastern Tennessee. That seems like someone who is running away from the people around them, not plotting to kill them. I'm willing to bet he could have driven to his school without getting so lost he ended up two states away. Not only that, if he could hit someone with a .22 from 450 miles away, he needs to be put in the Marine sniper school right now; as an instructor.

From what I've read, this is a young teenager who couldn't handle whatever problems were going on in his life and ran away. Evidently, that story wasn't sufficiently dramatic for the media types, so as usual they had to spin it like a top on crack. If there is viable evidence that he was planning to shoot anything human, I'd like to see that report. Until then, this seems like just another case of media slant.

13 years old-tragic.

Hello:

Another save the children. Evil comes in all formes. Turn the other cheek. Live and let live. You do the math. Bye: Adam Troy

I always tell my grand to report it if she see someone at school with a gun and if she is afraid to tell then tell me and i will contact the school also if you see someone being bullied tell me i am on the pta at her school i did the same with my kids i was always in their school or at their schools these kids have so much peer pressure and then just life itself is so fast now and some cannot handle it thank god he did not hurt no one or himself

SAD

As I grew up most people had rifles and guns in there houses. They did not lock there houses. I never heard of anyone killing anyone. Most people knew how to shoot and even carried shotguns in their trucks. What changed? I have one thought--respect.

This is why smart people keep their list in their heads!

"smart people " do not make lists on paper OR in their head ,of people they intend to kill , SOCIO-PATHS do .

charge the son of a bitch with conspiracy , which he is most certain to be convicted on , throw his ass in jail for a few years and let the little s.o.b. cool off .

Could someone PLEASE tell me one thing - WHY does every question end up being about someone demonizing Obama? I'm really sick of it.

I doubt if this kid cared about politics at all. I can't explain why all these kids are doing this stuff - adults are doing it too as a matter of fact - just blow away everyone whether you know them or not. However, in the vast majority of cases, I doubt politics has a lot to with it.

So, please, Obamabashers, get over it already and let's stay on topic.
