Cops: Teen Pilot Supported bin Laden

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - The 15-year-old who crashed a small plane into a skyscraper wrote a note expressing sympathy for Osama bin Laden and support for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, police said Sunday.

Tampa Police Chief Bennie Holder said there was no evidence Charles J. Bishop had terrorist ties. Holder said Bishop was a loner with few friends, and that the boy wrote that he acted alone.

"Bishop can best be described as a young man who had very few friends and was very much a loner," Holder said. "From his actions we can assume he was a very troubled young man."

Bishop crashed the Cessna 172R into the 42-story Bank of America building after taking off without authorization and ignoring signals to land from a Coast Guard helicopter that pursued the plane. He was killed.

Investigators on Sunday interviewed the family of the student pilot and said they would search his personal computer for evidence.

Hey America you took GOD of the Schools, now Allah who will take his place.

First we has [sic] Johnny Walker born of liberal parents in Marin County and now we have Charles Bishop from Conservative Republican Tampa, Florida. Where is the outrage?

We know about Walker's parents. For all we know, Charlie's parents may be flaming Marxists. So what if some conservatives happen to live in the general area. Does logic escape you?

It is not the teacher's job to install values or manners in children.

But they do. There is a HS teacher over by Tampa who has been the subject of several threads on FR. He is involved with the IAC, A.N.S.W.E.R and their protests against the war. Anyone recall the guy's name or the HS he teaches at?

You only post anti-conservative Crap.

No, I just find it ironic that when John Walker was caught fighting with the Taliban, Conservatives blamed his liberal upbringing in Marin County. However, now when I kid from Conservative Tampa, Florida crashes a plane into a skyscraper is support of bin Laden no one here is willing to blame his conservative upbringing.

I agree!!!!! Why in the H does the FBI keep doing that after all that has happened? This kid, though supposedly has acted alone, must have planned to take the instructor or anyone else who was on the plane with him. At least he didn't blow up a school and picked after hours to do his deed. It will probably take months to get the rest of the letter aired. Cripes, and they want us to co-operate!!!

"And the kid thought the note would be readable/intact?"

They said the note was found on his body. Guess he thought his body would survive in one piece.

Wonder if he left a note at home for his mother and grandmother.

I don't believe a "conservative" upbringing would cause a teenager to admire the likes of bin laden.

I knew this as soon as I read the plane hit the Bank of AMERICA Building. No accident...

I had that same gut reaction. It's not every day a plane flies into a skyscraper. I read hundreds of posts on the main thread on this story yesterday and post #192 particularly stayed with me:

Remember the last Bin Laden tape thanking the "19 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS"..................................

If it happened with Walker why would it be so far fetched or conspiratorial to think there aren't more troubled, easily influenced teens out there being infiltrated. The flight schools played a major role in what happened on Sept. 11. That connection alone leads one to infer that this wasn't an accident.

It's not on CNN. Your source does not appear to exist.

Sponging a story from one news source and attributing it to their competitor is simply pathetic.

Done.

Tampa is conservative? There is no big city of 100,000 + outside of Utah that is conservative.

You have no evidence his upbringing was "conservative". Based on your silly conservative-bashing posts on this thread, you are worth ignoring from now on.

No dude, you are wrong, TAMPA is a LIBERAL city, W lost Pinellas county big time.
Tampa has a RAT Davis who is their rep.

Clearwater and Hillsborough county are conservative, not TAMPA.... Tampa is a liberal city......
