Boy Wrote Of Desire To Kill Many At Indiana School
My son-in-law is a very young teacher in a Cleveland area ‘alternative’ school … Actually, it is a school where the [troubled] little bastards who have had their criminal asses kicked out of every other public school in the Cleveland area are dumped in order to hopefully keep them off the streets and keep the federal dollars coming into the school system. It is his first teaching job. His teaching degree is in special education. He should be teaching a class of kids along the ‘needs’ of my youngest daughter with Down Syndrome. But when you are starting out in a career where there really is a glut of other young teachers, you take what you can get, until what you are supposed to have comes along.
My s-i-l has had to take numerous classes in how to properly ‘restrain’ the high school students in his classroom … and has, on several occasions, had to implement such ’skills’. In addition, he has had to call in the police for any number of weapons and drug possession violations by his students.
Oh, and additionally, has had not only his life threatened, but the lives of my daughter and little Grandmonster. Aside from filing a report on the verbal ‘threat’ nothing else can be done.
Earlier in the school year there was a shooting incident in a Cleveland area ‘alternative’ high school. Until the facts began to come out in the breaking news, my daughter was completely beside herself while on duty at the hospital. Turns out it really was an ‘alternative’ school … an academy for city kids who show academic promise can go and learn without the distractions of your basic inner city public high school atmosphere …
Go figure.
CLEVELAND — A teenager accused of plotting a school attack wrote that he wanted “instant recognition” for shooting a record number of victims and that he wouldn’t feel sorry about it, according to documents unsealed Tuesday.
A black spiral notebook authorities obtained from the 16-year-old boy’s locker at Penn High School in Mishawaka, Ind., contained handwritten entries in which the teen expressed his hatred for most of the people at the school.
“I wanna break the current shooting record. I wanna get instant recognition. The only thing that stops me is the fact of being put in jail forever, or having to kill myself, or getting killed by an officer. I could kill anyone without feeling sorry because society sucks!!!” read an entry dated April 18, the day before he was arrested.
The teenager has been charged with a juvenile count of conspiracy to commit murder and a denial plea has been entered on his behalf. A hearing is scheduled on June 11 to determine whether he’ll stay in juvenile custody.
He is accused of plotting with Lee Billi, 33, of suburban Cleveland. Authorities said Billi and the teenager exchanged e-mails in April, discussing simultaneous mass murders at the teen’s high school and at another location that police haven’t identified.
A search warrant affidavit filed to obtain a judge’s approval to search Billi’s computer and disks was unsealed Tuesday.
According to the documents, the teenager told authorities his violent thoughts began when his girlfriend broke up with him.
He chatted online with Billi about obtaining “party favors,” a code name for guns and bombs, the documents say. An entry in the teen’s notebook says they planned their attacks to be carried out on Sept. 11.
A message seeking comment was left after business hours Tuesday at the office of the teen’s lawyer, James Nafe of South Bend, Ind.
Billi was arrested April 24 and has pleaded not guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit murder, 38 counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and one count of possessing criminal tools.
He is being represented by the Cuyahoga County public defender’s office, and a message left there late Tuesday wasn’t immediately returned.
Authorities said the plot was detected when a school officer investigating an unrelated threat discovered Internet postings in which the teen discussed his support for the Columbine High School shooters, who killed 12 classmates and a teacher before committing suicide in 1999.

i applaud the effort but find the end product a really bad idea, if a campus crazy wanted to do something, they could just use the vid as a guideline for what everyone else was doing
