Scary stuff. Thank God the police got them before they could hurt anyone.

 

Of course, it's all 'alleged' right now, but still...

That was completely without any information regarding the students ability to act on any plans.

It's breaking news. I happened to catch it right away. There's not a lot known at the moment.

Sgt. Robert Bartl said the suspects researched rifles, handguns, submachine guns, bombs and explosives, specifically propane.

“They were researching weapons and how to fire and assemble them,” Bartl said.

Bartl said a submachine gun can fire several rounds per second and can “cause catastrophe.”

 

The boys told police during the investigation what they had researched. Police did not know when they were planning to carry out the shooting.

 

Bartl said detectives obtained evidence where the boys listed the names of three teachers and two students who they wanted to kill.

Their identities were not available.

 

Los Angeles County criminalists Monday searched the suspects’ computers’ for files and history, Bartl said.

South Pasadena Police officials plan to hold a news conference Tuesday morning to discuss the arrests.

They were just arming themselves in case the government decided to overreach their bounds and put a freeway through their town.

If they were black, the police would just be stereotyping them.

Especially since pretty much every school shooting you can think of was carried out by white guys.
