Teen charged in Freedom High bomb plot:

Just when I said that school violence plots were on the decline, they seem to be picking up again this year.

In Tampa, Florida, police arrested 17-year-old Jared Cano for allegedly plotting a bomb attack against Freedom High School. Cano is a former student of the school, meaning he was expelled.

Police say that when they searched Cano’s home, they found bomb-making materials, a journal detailing his plot, and a drug-growing operation. So much for weed making you mellow, but I digress.

As expected, Cano’s parents had no clue about the bombs, the plot, or the drugs. Do they ever?

The journal supposedly said that he wanted to rack up a bigger body count than Columbine, which leads me to believe that he was a mutant.

I haven’t seen anything as far as a motive yet, but I’m sure it will be selfish and stupid.

More on this as details become available and as time allows.

UPDATE: It seems that Tampa police already had Cano on their radar, as he had been arrested for such charges as burglary, carrying a concealed weapon, altering serial numbers on a firearm, and drug possession. He’s not just some kid who went bad. These are some serious hardcore crimes for someone his age.
