…explosive equipment at home and made threat against school could be charged as adult.

The 17-year-old Bucks County boy charged with having bomb-making equipment in his bedroom and threatening to blow up his school is a Canadian who hates Americans, prosecutors say.

Travis W. Biehn was ordered held at the county juvenile detention center Friday after Judge Kenneth G. Biehn — no relation — ruled the boy remains a danger to the community.

''He had the explosives in his home and the parents didn't know about it,'' said Assistant District Attorney Robert D. James, who is prosecuting the boy. ''We don't want to send that kid back home.''

Meanwhile, in a second sweep of Central Bucks East High School in Buckingham Township, where Travis Biehn is an 11th-grader and classes were canceled Friday, police using nine bomb-sniffing dogs turned up no explosives, James said.

District Attorney Diane E. Gibbons said police are trying to determine the boy's motive but added, ''He is very unhappy with Americans and would prefer to be in Canada.''

Gibbons said Biehn's family has resided in Buckingham Township since 1999 and that the boy's father, Brant, is an employee of drug manufacturer Merck & Co. The Biehns are living here on a resident visa, she said.

After a juvenile court procedure similar to an arraignment, Judge Biehn declined to release the boy to the custody of his parents.

Instead, he will be held at the county Youth Center in Doylestown Township at least until a hearing is held on the charges, which include possession of explosive devices and terroristic threats. No date has been set for the hearing, but under law it must be held within 10 days.

PING

Please let me know if you want on or off the Canada/Adscam ping list

Where did all these sour and self-righteous moonbats calling themselves Canadian come from?

They came partly from American draft dodgers who came here and infiltrated our media, (CBC, for example), and the socialist policies started by Pierre Trudeau in the '70's.

[Twist_T]

let them do a thorough investigation. then send the works of them to jail.. upon release deport them .. same day..

[bc boy]

My first guess is .....Michael"widebody"Moore...how'd I do????

[Walkingfeather]

I think this family should fall under a terrorist watch list and we should revoke their visas.

[bc boy]

This po'd about Bananda Canuck will try and answer that query.....since the Marxist/socialists took over..[you know about them,you call them Democrats],Bananada has become a France/Germany wannabee..that is a"sub par bourgeois welfare state"...you know like your northeastern states and your left coast states...call them government dependent ingrates,works for me.....help you out????...EH

[randog]

...after caning the lot of 'em!

How 'bout tarring, feathering, and horse-whipping 'em all the way to the Canadian border?

[DB]

Their visa should be revoked immediately.

[BobS]

"...after caning the lot of 'em!"

I wouldn't waste any more energy than it takes to kick them and their crap out of here. Being internationally disgraced lasts longer than red welts on their asses. They can retrieve their cancelled passports in Canada also.

Let's act like Spain does. In Spain, foreign bums and douche bags get kicked out within 24 horas after the Guardia Civil picks them up. Judges allow no excuses. That should be an example for us.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hmmm. If his parents really are American haters, evict them out of the country, along with their homicidal brat. We should be able to take foreign America-haters and deport them.

[ricks_place]

This boy is not depraved; he's deprived. Send him on a mental health Caribbean Vacation to that one destination Canadian's love to hate and hate to love. Gitmo.

Calling themselves Canadian ... indeed. I don't see such individuals as truly being Canadian. I don't recognize the liberal government as being Canadian. If they were, then they wouldn't be trying so hard to rip this country apart for their own gains. The Canadian populace needs to wake up.

And he's headed for the Left Wing vision of Martyrdom.

Soon enough, DU and Air America will take up his "cause."

[hershey]

Goodness, I thought Canada prided itself on being above this sort of thing. Non violent, kindly, extending the hand of friendship to one and all. Our friends in the Great White North are morally and ethically superior, they tell us that all the time.

[CanadianThe]

Seems kinda odd why they single out this one student when there where multipul bomb threats by other students as well, I guess its becaue the other students where American. I figure if this happend in Canada there would be abig out rage to save the little American boy that is in trouble. Well if this kid wants to blow up his school ya hes got somting wrong, if its a joke, well then it was not timmed right. Well I guess thats what should be expected from you Americans single out this guy he is Canadian, that must mean he is a commie becuase his govermant is Liberal. I guess that means all Canadians should assume Americans are Facists? This kid is gonna get screwed over and when he dose its going to be a crying shame. But ya I am sure a 17 year old kid is a terrorits anyways I would have been more convinced if he blew up the school first or maybe a building make it worth his time in jail.

I'm assuming English is not your first language.

Now you've done it! Al, the amazing wonder viking kitty is fully awake and about to Zot you!

To hate all the people your relatives hate, you've got to be carefully taught...

South Pacific bump :o)
