"Winham says the teens had plans to escape to Ogden Hinckley Airport and had trained for hundreds of hours with flight simulators to pilot a plane."

Who was writing the check for hundred of hours with flight simulators?

@ClarkKent - My guess is they probably were using a home computer program...

Time for these kids to meet Justice. Hopefully the 16 year old will be tried as an adult. These types of actions cannot be tolerated.

Why does the media continue to publish these stories? They contribute to the problem. These psychos that plan these attacks love the attention from the media. Quit publishing articles about it and it will help end school attacks.

Why are you giving the 16 year old's name? Don't you have to have parental permission to write about a minor in instances like this?

Without any bombs found or dangerous material, is it really a crime to plan stuff? What if they were just doing this research in their spare time, and were never going to act out on it, and just wanted to see how it could be done?
If I wrote a book about how I would commit a crime, say, robbing a bank, and I have details about the crime, such as when I would strike and detailed plans of an escape route and hideouts, etc. does that make me guilty of actually robbing a bank, or conspiring to rob a bank?

I so much prefer reading about the apprehension of would-be-evil doers rather than trying to mourn with the families of victims after the fact. Good job to everyone involved and kudos to the police department for acting so quickly!

I am very thankful that this was foiled. I could not imagine how damaging this could of been to the communities and families.

Can we all say much to do about nothing and Snitch.

If you found nothing you have nothing so you have much to do about nothing and talk is cheap.

They may have told this to this "Heoric Student" in order to fit in and to work his mind.

This is what lack of a girl friend on cold winter days will do for you.

If you have full knowledge of a security system and what it does and does not do then perhaps that system needs to be looked at.

A lot of people lean how to fly. Again a story to work this Heroic students mind.

I want to see what is on the Heroic Students Hardrive.

Perhaps the heroic Student could Not get in on it, and did not realize there was nothing to get in on.

A lot of people tell storyies because none-ya- business does not shut a lot of people up. To much butch cassidy and sundance kid movies. Plus lots of cold days with no releaf.

Make for a bad day and a life time worth of trouble.

If it was me and I walked. Then the Heroic Student needs to leave the area.

We have a whole lot of lack of due process here. Plus a lot of judgement before the facts are proven.

Who is paying for the Flight Simulator Instruction?

I am thinking big fairy tale here.

Who is paying for the flight simulator?

Reading comprehension, people...reading comprehension.

Paragraph 7, line 1: "The pair had also purchased an advanced flight-simulator program and "logged hundreds of hours" on it, according to Bond"

EXACTLY RIGHT BRAVE SIR ROBIN!

You may want to review, among others, the Supreme Court's 1969 ruling in Brandenburg vs. Ohio. What you are illustrating is not necessarily protected speech, as any number of White Hate groups have discovered.

awesomeron,

Besides, barely being able to understand what you are saying, why the need to switch from "awesomeron" to "Anon" and back to "awesomeron" in a matter of minutes? 3 scattered and barely understandable posts don't combine to make 1 good one.

@Chris B:
Thank you for the link. Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't there be the need of something stating that they were going to take action and bomb the school, or hint that they were going to cause some sort of destruction? I don't believe that we have all the facts on the case, but simply logging hours on a flight simulator and having detailed plans about the security system of the school wouldn't lead to imminent danger.

@three11stu,

So are you suggesting that we wait until they blow up a school until we stop them. That is ridiculous. There would have to be additional evidence that would make the police believe there could be danger. Its better to stop it before it happens and see if the boys can be found innocent or guilty than to wait and know they were guilty after several deaths and injuries.

So sad.
