".....The threat by University of Connecticut freshman Tyler McKenzie prompted the East Lyme school district to cancel sporting events and plan for additional security measures when classes resume Monday, police said.

McKenzie was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree threatening and second-degree breach of peace.....

He has been placed under house arrest and must undergo mental health evaluations and stay on prescribed medications.

McKenzie will be allowed to return to UConn when classes resume January 20.

If Obama had a son at UConn

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The Extraordinary Life of Barack Obama’s Imaginary Son ".............The President of the United States seems more comfortable citing the struggles of his imaginary son than the privileged successes of his real daughters. In truth, Obama’s son would have attended private schools in Chicago, just like his daughters. He would then be attending Sidwell Private School in DC, just like his real daughters. Obama’s imaginary son would get his pick of any college in the world, just like his real daughters. His imaginary son would then go on to any career he chose, in medicine, law, Hollywood, or Wall Street, just like his real daughters. But that doesn’t fit the divisive racial narrative — so his son lives the hard-knock life."

East Lyme? I lived nearish there in Hampton, and sure enough I caught Lyme Disease.

If he picked Bridgeport or New Haven, and carried it out, I do not know if it would affect the crime statistics much.

From the Daily Mail article: has been placed under house arrest and must undergo mental health evaluations and stay on prescribed medications. McKenzie will be allowed to return to UConn when classes resume January 20.

So they're not really worried about him shooting up the classrooms, apparently. I'd expel the twerp.

It sure is easy to bring the supposedly strongest country in the world to a complete stop

Yeah....If I had a kid going to that school....I’d withdraw them until they made sure THAT kid would NOT EVER be there again.

Did they confiscate all his guns, his parents guns, the neighborhoodss guns and those of the county residence that have guns? Seems the popular thing to do in that state.

Police records indicated that McKenzie was a victim of an assault while he was a student at East Lyme High School in March 2012, reported Fox CT.

Looking at his pictures I'm guessing he reported an "assault" because some guy didn't like his advances and pushed him away.

No kid of mine would set foot on that campus either, until the KNOWN crazy was expelled AND institutionalized. There are enough unknown threats on campuses, why in the world take chance on this jerk.

The shooter at Virginia Tech was a known risk….and he was left alone to kill 32 people….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_shooting

Liberalism seems, indeed, be today’s overarching mental disorder.
