Explosives

I always thought girls were smarter than boys. People setting off bombs in public places and blowing up others' mailboxes need to be charged with domestic terrorism. That's what it is - terrorism. They set off bombs to scare people and destroy property.

The marines might not want them. Maybe a short stint in the navy would do some good. Then they could be tossed overboard while the smoking lamp was not lit and they could then go about saving the sharks.

Well well, this foursome likes to plays with explosives. I think six years in the Marines would rechannel some of their interest in explosives. Or; they will make a career out of the Marines. If these young adults have no prior brushes with the law, a judge should consider this as an option to prison. What they did was DUMB!

4 MSU students face felonies for setting off bomb

You got to be kitting me, this is a Firecracker. Have you seen some of the Fireworks you can purchase for the 4th of July and other holidays. It could kill all right if you are holding it in your hand or it is shot directly at you. The crime is that it is an explosive that can leave the ground. That is the problem only in Michigan. There is no reason to destroy these kids lives over something like this.

Thank you.

4 students from MSU

So, what was the "commercial grade explosive" that requires

a license to buy?

blasting caps?

dynamite?

If this happened in Peoria, Illinois - out in farm country -

and not in East Lansing, the 4 kids sure would not get

20 year felonies thrown at them.

4 students from MSU

White Students- Taxpayers

Black Kids- White Mans Fault

Terrorists- Couldn't agree more

Who Pays? Who Wants? Who just doesn't care?

4 students from MSU

White Students = PRANK, possible slap on the wrist

Black Students = GANGBANGERS, life in prison

Middle East Students = TERRORIST, life in prison or deported

MSU Students

Nice, I'm glad we are releasing repeat felons due to lack of money back to Detroit. But Four, White College students at MSU light a firework and they get 20 year felonies thrown at them, sounds more like the greed of the court system going after money of "TEACHING these white Kids from Middle Class Families a Lesson". Real nice Lansing Police Force....hooorah. If this is pursued I will never donate or support any police agency in this state, and I encourage others the same.

What upsets me imagine if 4 Black kids from Detroit that are non-students did the same?? Courts would check there hometown, probation and see ya....NO MONEY!! Now I'm a rascist, I said black, whatever.... sue me.

Surprised?

I'm not surprised that Ted Kaczynski went to U of M.... You're generalization of MSU is underwhelming. U of M is full of drug dealers and terrorists... there you go, I can act like you: a TOOL.

msu bomb

Dumbness. Placing the bomb in a yard, these people apparently did not intend major damage. If they did not intend major damage anything like 20 years in prison is absurd. Our laws in many instances are too severe. Not only that but but felony convictions eliminates most employment opportunities. Simply forever increasing the penalties for crimes is not a particularly effective deterrent. In some cases such as the severe penalties associated with rape and kidnapping may in fact motivate murder.

One are where society has gone too the other extremes is the treatment of illegal immigrants. Usually the worst penalty for the crime is deportation. In a sense that is not penalty at all just an end to the crime. A recent survey indicates the 700 million world wide want to move to another country- the U.S. is most frequently the preferred destination. Without enforcement the bad illegal immigration problem will be worse.

MSU bombers

Hey, here's an idea. Let's give them all CCWs so they can pack heat on campus too. This proves they are mature enough!

Thu. 11/05/09 08:59 AM

I wonder if....

They are now on the terrorist list and why didn't the police open fire? Ummm... maybe being white exempts you from these dilemmas. "Oh they just were horsing around" THE USUAL EXCUSE FOR THESE TYPE OF MISHAPS
