I don't know if any of you have read about 14 year-old Dillon Casey a kid in Pennyslvania that was arrested for planning a Columbine style attack at his high school but you can read a little bit about him here (Yahoo News Story and AP Photo):

NORRISTOWN, Pa. - The mother of a 14-year-old who authorities say had a cache of guns, knives and explosive devices in his bedroom for a possible school attack was charged Friday with buying her son three weapons.
Michele Cossey, 46, bought her home-schooled son, Dillon, a .22-caliber handgun, a
.22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, authorities said. The teenager felt bullied and tried to recruit another boy for a possible attack at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, authorities said. His mother was not accused of helping plot an attack, "but by virtue of her indulgence, she enabled him to get in this position,"
Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said.
"This is not the best parenting I've ever seen and she needs to be held accountable," Castor said.

Oh, and yeah...he has a Myspace page...Dillonthekiller4. Yup, slightly creepy.

Dillon claims to be a member of the Imperial Cobra Army (I.C.A.) which apparently only hastwo members, him and some cute kid named Cassandra who claims to be from Argentina (but her friends and Myspace page don't really reflect it). Oh, and she also happens to have some unhealthy obsession with Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, Kip Kinkel, and Seung Cho to name a few troubled killers in the past.

Here is their Mission Statement (From the I.C.A. Page) if you will:

Our cause is to overthrow the corupt and evil governments of today and bring about a new world order of tommorow, I, Commander Dillon am the leader. We belive in violent death to all undesirables (drug dealers, murderers, rapests, child molestors, and so on) includeing torture, we belive that the way our earth curently is, is unexptable, and must end before it ends us, and that the military draft should be restored, I will add more about us later . what do you think of our ideolagy so far?

PEACE THROUGH POWER, PEACE THROUGH POWER, PEACE THROUGH POWER!!!! HAIL TO THE IMPERIAL EMPIRE!!!!

I like the kids go get em style, but I definitely feel like he takes it a smidgen too far. I do feel sorry for the kid but thankfully nobody got hurt, hopefully he is able to get a little therapy and maybe even some meds wherever he ends up getting sent. This is the crap that makes me happy I'm not a parent, I guess I don't want to be 50% responsible for a kid like this...ever.
