I don't think so.
GREEN BAY -- Authorities said that William Cornell and Shawn Sturtz amassed a cache of guns, ammunition, bombs and other gear at their homes that they apparently planned to use at some point at Green Bay's East High School. Police said the boys wanted officers to shoot them in the process.
Police Chief Craig Van Schyndle said that officers who found the materials also found suicide notes by the two, and it appears that something was going to happen in the very near future.
..."Sturtz and Cornell were long-time friends, hated school and had been depressed over the past couple of years. They feel they did not fit in with others at school. Sturtz was described as obsessed with pain and death," Green Bay Police Capt. Lisa Starr said Friday morning at a news conference.
She said both long had been fascinated with the Columbine shooting incident.
...At the news conference, Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt said what could have been a "terrible, terrible day" was thwarted. Schmitt is asking the district attorney to find out where the boys' parents were and how much they knew.
Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski said he will look into that, but can't charge parents with being ignorant.
Even though Sturtz and Cornell didn't carry out their plan, they are getting what they wanted -- attention.
Do they enjoy being revealed as bad people?
I hope, with help, they are able to discover the immorality of their actions.
I also hope that they are imprisoned for a long, long time.
It's important to remember that a scheme to murder was thwarted.
Sturtz and Cornell were NOT planning a little high school prank. Their punishment must reflect the seriousness of their plot.
