The parents of an 18-year-old Lexington, North Carolina, woman charged in connection with an alleged plot to attack a Houston synagogue say their daughter had no means or intention to carry out any attack, describing the online activity that led to her arrest as nothing more than fantasy role-play.
Angelina Han Hicks was arrested on Wednesday by the Davidson County Sheriff's Office and faces two felony conspiracy counts after investigators alleged she and co-conspirators planned a mass-casualty attack at Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue in Houston. A juvenile was separately charged in Harris County, Texas.
Her father, Dannie Hicks, speaking in an interview recorded shortly after the arrest to KHOU 11 News sister station WFMY, pushed back on the allegations.
"It's ludicrous. It's a fantasy game. And that's the way she looked at it as a fantasy game online," Dannie Hicks said.
He questioned how his daughter could have carried out any real-world attack.
"It wasn't no dagone terror attacks. How in the world would you pull something like that off? She don't drive. She ain't got a car. She don't have guns. She don't know how to use a gun. She never shot a gun. How's she gonna get to Texas? It's nuts what they've done to her," Dannie Hicks said.

Any 18 year old WOMAN is old enough to know better.
Keep letting your kids play those mind-numbing, wasted use of time. Alas, lots of adults do as well.
Hicks was arrested on Wednesday. Her bond was set at $10 million.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for May 12 in Davidson County District Court.
Fantasy RPG’s because they are trained into these games. I remember when high school students were playing games to glorify drug use and I pushed to ban them. Kids mocked me.
We see the dangers culturally.
GOOD
I did not see the name of the video game in the article.
I am playing Fallout 76 again. It now has my region of Ohio in it.
Babylon Bee, eat your heart out.
Family portrait....
Don’t hate us because we’re beautiful.
Where did her father go to find his future bride?
A family reunion.
🎶 It’s all part of my rock and roll fantasy, yeah
It’s all part of my rock and roll dream, yeah. 🎶
I think during the Dungeons and Dragons craze peak there were a few stories such as the disappearance of Mich.State U. student James Dallas Egbert III. Didn’t turn out to be his cause of death, howeveer.
“...Egbert had played Dungeons & Dragons, he publicly amplified police theories that Egbert’s disappearance was linked to the game. Students were said to play live-action sessions of the game in the steam maintenance tunnels below the campus, and it was speculated that Egbert had entered the tunnels and had either been injured or lost his way. This alleged connection of the role-playing game to Egbert’s disappearance prompted what some Michigan State University students and faculty thought was sensationalist coverage of both Egbert and the game in media outlets throughout the United States. Dungeons & Dragons was described by some journalists as a “bizarre and secretive cult” that players could only join “by invitation”.

A 'fantasy game,' of killing Jews must be so much fun. Â Jesus will judge you freaks.
There are a gazillion Flight Simulators out there (including from Microsoft) where you can simulate flying a plane into the Twin Towers. Sick yes, but when is the last time someone was arrested playing such a game?
But they arrest this little girl? I’m sure we can all sleep at night knowing she if off the street, or in her case out of her parent’s basement. Much better use of resources instead of going after real criminals.
As they say, If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.
“We don’t speak English good....”
I bet the parents would be barking something different had she threatened to shoot up a mosque
She ain’t got a car. She don’t have guns.
Im guessing English is not their first language LOL
That’s what I pictured in my mind what he looked like after listening to him defend his princess on FNC.
