Today's brush with real-life horror.

Well, please forgive me if i ramble in this post. But I need to tell someone what has happened today, as it is a weight pulling me down. My father is almost retired, 2 more years to go. He teaches high school here in Green Bay, WI. He is a kind and generous man. And tonite he is lucky to be alive.

This morning, a student tipped off the principal at my dad's school that a couple of 17-year-old students were planning some kind of attack on the school. As soon as the students in question arrived for classes, they were taken into custody by the police. When the police searched their respective houses, they found home made bombs, shotguns, assault rifles, helmets, camoflage gear and combat boots. The police chief said that had they carried out their plan, it would have most likely been worse than Columbine.

Police interviewed friends of the two suspects, who said that they knew something was coming. The two were within days of carrying out their plan. They had their suicide notes already written.

So as the horror of what might have been slowly sinks in, I am going to try and figure out just what lesson God is trying to teach me here. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Thank god it was caught in time. I wish kids like this would learn....you're not going to wake the world up and make them change things by doing something like this. The media's just going to blame it on video games, and you're going to end up in jail or dead. Nothing gets accomplished through violence.
 
I think the idiots friends who "knew something was going to happen" should be arrested or at the very least punished as well.

If the unthinkable happened and people were hurt and or killed and those friends knew that something like that was possible to happen. I feel that they are pretty much as guilty as those who committed the crime.

What was the quote?
All it takes for evil to win, is for people to do nothing.
Or something to that effect.
 
The lesson you should learn... you're dad is alive and okay and that these kids were stopped before something happened.

The kid who tipped off the school did a great things and proves there's still good in the hearts of men. :thumbs:
