Teens planned to bomb school and steal an airplane

         Two male teenagers, 16 and 18 years old, planned to bomb a high school in Utah called Roy High and they also planned on stealing a plane and flying away to a country away from the US so they couldn't go to jail for their crime. "We ain't gonna crash it, were just gonna kill and fly our way to a country that won't send u back to the U.S.",claimed one of the teenagers. They claim they were "inspired" by the Columbine massacre. In 
1999 there was shootings in Littleton, Colorado that killed 12 students, 1 teacher and injured 21 directly and 3 while escaping. According to the article "they were inspired by Columbine, but were offended when compared to them because [apparently] 'those killers only completed one percent of their plan'." The 18 year old, Dallin Morgan, was arrested on conspiracy charges discovered his plans to use explosives. The 16 year old (who's name is being protected by the Associated Press because he is a minor) has also been arrested. Prosecutors are considering  additional charges.
      
     In my opinion this article is absurb; teens nowadays act really irresponsible. It was unnecessary to want to blow up a school. It was an immature idea as well to want to recreate a massacre. They deserve whatever punishment they get for their crime. I'm just glad that no one was hurt in the process.
