I wonder what the police can actually do. I hope someone takes his guns away and get him some counseling. But, is planning a crime actually a crime? Can he be charged with fantasizing about shooting someone?

Can he be charged with fantasizing about shooting someone? I'm not sure about the charges, but yes, planning to do something like that is quite serious. I had a classmate who made a hit list as a joke, it had friends, teachers and celebrities on it. He was tied up in court for months and several other classmates had to testify about it. I'm not actually sure whatever came of it, in his case pretty much everyone believed it was a joke. |

See/hear something, say something.
I'm sure the FL talked about this to his friends.

Can he be charged with fantasizing about shooting someone? I can’t imagine a journal would be enough to really charge him with anything. Can’t he just claim he was writing fiction? My heart aches for the gramma. This had to be one of the hardest things she ever did. What a strong woman. I really hope the boy gets help |

It is good to know it was taken seriously, and the kid (and other kids) probably learned that murder isn't a great thing to joke about. |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
