Columbine Style Attack Thwarted at NJ High School

[chanel]

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — Students returned Monday to a New Jersey high school that prosecutors say was the target of a "Columbine-like" plot and were greeted by a police presence that was intended to reassure that Bridgewater-Raritan High School was safe.

Authorities say a 16-year-old junior at the school was arrested Thursday after a police resource officer at the school was told the teen was planning an attack.

Officials also arrested a 17-year-old senior from nearby Immaculata High School, who is a competitive target shooter.

Police declined to name the individuals, but said they found shotgun shells, bullets, black powder and explosive devices in a search of the 16-year-old's home.

Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest says the 16-year-old faces charges ranging from attempted murder to possession of destructive devices, and he's being held at the Middlesex County Juvenile Detention Facility.

Police said a search of the 17-year-old's home turned up several firearms registered to the boy's father, as well as shotgun shells matching the ones found in the 16-year-old's home. The 17-year-old is charged with possession of destructive devices.

Officials from the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office said the two students, who were friends, allegedly worked together to buy PVC piping, wiring and electrical devices at a local Home Depot, and then use schematic drawings of improvised explosive devices to begin trying to assemble them in the 16-year-old's home.

Bridgewater-Raritan High School was closed on Friday as a precaution. Counselors were on hand Monday to help students cope, and several students said attendance seemed lighter than usual.

Where is Kevin Jennings? Wouldn't this fall under the duties of Safe School's Czar? Or is he too busy with GLSEN to worry about bombs and shit.

Where is Kevin Jennings? Really?

These kids were stopped before they could even try to execute their plot. It seems like the authorities did their job, doesn't it? So I don't know from what orifice you are pulling Kevin Jennings' name out of as it relates to this story.

Transparent and pathetic.

Thanks for posting this. I'm glad they caught them before anything happened.


But after making an interesting post...

Where is Kevin Jennings? Wouldn't this fall under the duties of Safe School's Czar? Or is he too busy with GLSEN to worry about bombs and shit.

...why do you have to post political bullshit?

 

[chanel]

I don't know Art. It just seems to me that when a terror plot is thwarted Homeland Security makes a statement and issues recommendations to law enforcement. When a disease is identified, Heath and Human Services does the same. Perhaps I'm mistaken about Mr. Jenning's job responsibilities. Maybe they should rename him "Fisting Czar".

Lessons are to be learned here. But I doubt if they will become public. Even to people who work in high schools.

Transparent and pathetic.

What is transparent and pathetic is your disregard of the asshole Obama appointed over our school systems. We have several threads about his homosexual agenda and the smut and porn he promotes in our schools. And you are on the record for announcing you just DON'T care.

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...in New Jersey???!!! What were they going to use..peashooters and slingshots?

Oh, you mean this story, that FOX NEWS falsely reported, and had to issue a correction for?

Obviously with black powder and shot gun shells they were gonna make pipe Bombs and maybe steal the weapons of the father of the 17 year old.

However from the lack of substantive charges against the 17 year old I suspect they have no real proof he was involved.

lol ...

Suuuuuuuuuuure ... that's what it has to be.

Try another angle because that one isn't cutting it.

Maybe if the kids had been successful, this would have been worthy of his attention. It shocks and frightens me that this isn't all over the news. I guess people care more about teaching kids "waterboarding".

You're right yet you act like I'm trying to hide it. I'm not. I don't care that some people are in hysterics because of some recommended book list that had very clear warnings to teachers to review the material before assigning any of it to students. BFG

But please feel free not to call out the player on "your team" who is shamelessly trying to turn this into an attack on Jennings. Go after me instead.

If it bleeds it leads. That didn't happen here. It ended in a whimper.

Exactly how would you know where his attention is or is not?

I've seen some stretches made on these boards, but this is ridiculous.

Indeed it is.

you are right We have little idea about how these Czars earn their six figure paychecks. But we do know about his past and we do know that he has yet to make a statement about this. I work in a NJ high school. I'll get back to you when we are informed by Mr. Jennings office on how to make our school safer. My guess is that it will have something to do with condoms.

I'm fairly certain that he earns his paycheck the same way that Eric G. Andell and Deborah A. Price did, when they were George W. Bush's School Safety Czars. Probably has something to do with his actual job title, Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. It looks like this is what they do: Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. Seems pretty transparent to me.

 

[JW Frogen]

I would think it a bad omen for any democracy to appoint a "Czar" to tell a free people to do that which they apparently do not want to do, can not do, or will not do.

If you have to be whipped into line, at least use an American term, perhaps "Overseer?"
