Oregon School Plot Suspect Spoke to Classmates About Bombs Weeks Before Arrest
Permalink  

An Oregon high school student accused of plotting to blow up his school had approached classmates to talk about bombs weeks before his arrest, according to students.

Grant Acord, 17, a junior at West Albany High School, was arrested late Thursday at his home on two counts of possession of a destructive device and two counts of manufacture of a destructive device, according to the Albany Police Department.

Wow. Just read the article about this on The Guardian ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/may/26/teenager-blow-up-school-charged ). What scared me the most was the types of bombs he had; Molotovs, pipe bombs, napalm, and a drain-cleaner bomb.

Just gonna say it: Acord's a bona fide psycho.

Thank god someone reported this maniac to the police and it was stopped before anything happened. I feel like bomb supplies are too easy to get a hold of now a days.

You can make bombs out of cleaning supplies, if you know what you're doing; It's not so much that they're more available as much as people are weaponizing chemistry more often.
