Political terror thwarted by parents

2018-06-15 19:08:07.521659+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Teenager Threatened to Murder Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, U.S. Says:

The defendant said he did not have access to a firearm because his “parents won’t purchase a firearm based on his history and the strict gun laws in Maryland,” and said that he “probably won’t be able to get one,” the memo said.

Yay for those parents.

One could argue that the fact that the teenager wanted to assassinate a couple politicians in the first place wasn’t especially yay-worthy, depending where one falls on the nature-nurture axis... or how one felt about anarchy, I guess.
