The plan was so detailed, right down to zip-ties "on the door handles so b-----s can't escape," that a very frightened Catherine O'Connor called the police on her own grandson.
"He's planning on having a mass shooting at one of the schools," she calmly told the 911 operator in Everett, Wash. Then there was the matter of the rifle she said she found inside a guitar case in her grandson's bedroom.

The entries in his journal were methodical and written in point-by-point detail, police said. They were also chilling in the teen's excitement at the prospect of killing his fellow student a ACES.
"I can't wait," he wrote, according to court documents.
Officers found an AK-47 in the teenager's bedroom, along with grenades and materials for making pressure cooker bombs, according to search warrant affidavits filed in court.
"It's too f---ing easy to buy a gun," he wrote on Jan. 25, police said.
Under the heading of "Outline for Ace's massacre," the teen wrote:
"Bring gear and weapons (wait till lunch). Wait 2-3 minutes after lunch bell and go to gym backdoors by student parking, and put zip ties on door handles (so b----s can't escape). Set up pressure cooker bomb by bleachers with most students. Walk out of gym and zip tie gym doors by Tom's history class.
"As soon as FTP bomb goes off, start shooting spree and start music. Throw pipe bomb and and smoke bomb in office. Mow down kids in hallway and gym. Kill yourself at the end of Make a change."

Hold on a sec. Grenades? How would he get his hands on grenades? The grenade show loophole?
Parents???
My mom used to go through my handbag looking for...cigarettes. Now parents ignore rocket launchers.
I’m... speechless.
Sad that it’s the grandma who had to find this (curious why not the parents, but maybe other reasons), but this is what is supposed to happen, parents monitoring their kids. A lot of these school shooters are still kids, living at home, how do you miss the signs?
Signed, Father of Three
Good thing she didn’t call the FBI.
Meanwhile Politicians collude to deny us our God Given Rights.
Let me know when they pass a Law making the combination of Evil and Human Ingenuity Illegal.
His Jan 25th entry is just a tad coincidental, isn’t it?
Well, if it had nothing to do with Russia and Trump, they should have let him go. I wonder if he had a MAGA cap.
Or the Broward County Sheriff. (He wuz too busy campaigning for the Butcheress of Benghazi to do his job).
I wonder if anyone may have helped write this ‘journal’.
Father of three, we as parents are shamed for being snoopy and “not respecting our kids’ privacy” now.
I told every child of mine, if they didn’t want me to know what is up with them, they’d best not write it down. Because I reserved the right to read whatever they’d written, wherever.
Did I pathologically read their messages or journals? No. But I checked them time to time, not just looking for school shootings but other dangerous things - suicidal thoughts or drug use or relationship abuse or etc.
Never found anything to confront about so kept my mouth shut.
Many would say that was terrible and disrespectful but I call it parenting.
Any bets he was on psychotropics drugs?
“Make a Change?”
While there’s a Michael Jackson song that is sometimes alternatively called “Make a Change” the song this kid is thinking of is most likely a Nahko song which is a little too open to interpretation for a young person [lyrics]:

That was probably the artist’s worst song, most are much better. The artist uses American Indian themes.
Was this kid part Indian or just Wannabi Indian?

Kind of catchy, actually. Fitting that a wise “elder” turned him in before he acted on his plans.
First of all...we need stop treating teens as children...once they are capable of reproducing they should be given rights and responsibility and accountability as adults. Second..we gotta stop the over the top shooters imagery found everywhere...news..computer games..movies..novels...comic books..where do you think these mentally deranged people get their ideas? Not from reading books on metaphysics, I’m sure.
What is especially galling is the idiotic self righteous media decrying these crimes yet showing or discussing or bloviating over them 24/7(keeps their ratings competitive y’now).The mentally deranged are in monkey see monkey do mode. Why keep feeding them this imagery day in day out?
And finally...its not a crime to be mentally ill. Once diagnosed some of these people need to be controlled. It would seem to me that most publicized mass murders are done by mentally deranged people...even people who murder one by one have some mental issues...though many are just plain greedy.
Please pardon my long rant.Thank you.
The day - way back when - the government and other authorities decided parents didn’t have the right to set standards, demand good behavior, and administer punishment to their own kids, was the start of all this.
When I was a kid, if my parents found they couldn’t control me, then the law came down on them. THEY were ultimately responsible for my behavior in society and the police held them to it.
That was motivation enough for my parent to make sure I behaved and stayed within the rules, and the law.
A “Parental Responsibility Bill” should be introduced into Congress. Have the authorities go after the parents when the kids get out of line. Your kids misbehave and you do nothing about it, then YOU go to jail.
If I got a paddling at school, I got my ass beat again when my dad heard about it. That misbehavior didn’t reflect on me, as a kid, as bad as it did on the parents.
If the parents abuse a kid, or voluntarily abandon a kid, find their parental asses and lock them up. If they have a tendency to try and skirt their responsibility, then get their attention, and demand it.
Discipline has to start early, early enough for the kid to be taught right from wrong. No nonsense discipline, consistent discipline, and you can start easing up later. You’ve established your dominancy as a parent, so by then all it takes is a certain look, or a raised eyebrow, to snap them back into line.
Thank God I had strict parents who raised me right.
I spanked all 3 of my daughters at least once with a leather belt, removed one daughters bedroom door for 3 months. One daughter threatened to hurt herself so Mrs. D-21 slept in her room for over 3 months. Being grounded in general w/punishment as the time filler or from specific web sites or E-games was common. No. You cant go out with blah, blah, blah. NO. BLah BLah Blah can not come to this house........
I figure I have about a 80-90% chance of getting half way decent care in my old age.
what brand of SSRI was this kid prescribed?
