Did you read the whole story? Hes wasn't arrested for sympathizing with the shooter. It was for interfering with the staff or something. In other words he went postal, and was showing behavior symptoms of the gunman. He was probably goating other students into a fight. So the police were taking no chances after v-Tech massacre, and arrested him.

Oh that one! Well I don't know. I feel very sorry for him.........poor guy.........

Yes I did read the entire article and more than once. He did not interfere with the staff nor go postal. They didn't mention anything of him physically attacking students. They were just being paranoid and arrested him for no good reason.

To quote the article...

Several witnesses told investigators the student said he was "angry about all kinds of things from the fluorescent light bulbs to the unpainted walls, and it made him angry enough to kill people," according to a police report. Witnesses "said they were afraid of him and afraid to come to class with him," Wiesley said.

Now freedom of speech does not include the right to shout 'FIRE' in a dark crowded theater, or to joke about bombs and hijackings on a airliner flight. It sounds like this person should have known better...

I didn't read the article, but I saw a bit of info on the tele about a few days ago. I heard that the dude wasn't just sympathizing with the V Tech shooter, and he wasn't just complaining about his surroundings.

This dude was giving the V Tech shooter MAD props! He also said something along the lines of making Coulumbine and V Tech look like nothing compared to what he had in store--what he had in store, I don't know. But the guy was talkin' mad trash.

I think that if you go around saying that you're worse than a guy who shot up a college campus because he wanted to live up to the names of "martyrs" like the Coulumbine kids, you DESERVE to be arrested just for probable cause alone!
