Teens Charged With Making Explosive Device
Source: Channel 5

COLUMBIA, Tenn. - The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested three teenagers suspected in a possible bombing plot.

The teenagers, ages 13-15, had a two-liter bottle filled with chlorine and other household chemicals. They also had two guns and a dagger.

"They can cause some property damage and a lot of that depends on the amount and the chemicals that they used," said Columbia detective Mickey Jones.

Police recovered the explosive and the weapons. Later, the FBI arrested the boys.

Investigators believe the youths planned to damage a governmental building.

"There were some indications that there was one juvenile that was predominantly against certain things that government was doing," Jones said. "There were also some comments made that they may be targeting areas in Columbia to use these explosive devices that they made."

1. Why did they bother with the story?
They can arrest those kids and send them to Gitmo as "enemy combatants" without looking like idiots.

4. Wow - FOX must be sweating trying to figure out how to call them "Islamofascist Extremists" from TN.
Give them a while, they'll come up with a spin.

5. They were released to the custody of their parents.
I hope that someone is at least counseling them and they didn't just get a slap on the wrist.

6. OMG.... "indications", people.... of dissent!
So, what they are saying is...

We can ALL be arrested and charged if any one of us is in possession of over two
liters of bleach (chlorine)and some other household chemicals and any other one
of us gives "some indications" that are "predominantly against certain things
that government was doing"

OMG people, I warned you all, over and over,
NOW we are all headed for the bighouse,
we goin DOWN!!!!!

Uncle Dick, Uncle Dick, save us!

7. It was the thin edge of the wedge
And no one sees it until they are painted with the red "Islamofascist" brush, and wonder what happened or why no one believes them.

*shrug* I warned people too- it's not my problem if they are allergic to truth.
