A relative finding a kid with a weapon and pinning him down, suggests to me the kid was in far out left field to begin with.   The relative had to have some sense of danger to react the way he did.

My take is that was exactly what relatives should do.  And if those closest to a potential terrorist do this more, we would have less incidents of mass murder.

Plainfield was pretty white back when I lived in the burbs.  I just checked the demographics and it is still mostly honkey.  About 20% are beaners and 14% have a propensity to chimp-out.

So, it will be interesting to see if this "Teen" was black or brown. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Kneel on his testicles as your holding him down... this bleep POS was planning on massacring little children. To me, that is worse than being a child molester. It makes me bleep angry!
