According to investigators, Deutsch threatened to hurt that student -- a longtime friend -- if he refused to participate in the shootings. A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"
Post #179,125 by pwhysall 10/13/04 1:55:11 PM Reply	Not in my book. If (at the age of 16 or so) a friend of mine had offered to hurt me if I didn't go along with some hare-brained scheme or other involving WERLD DOMINATION, I'd have been inclined to advise them that such behaviour is deserving of a swift kick in the slats.

Post #179,147 by jbrabeck 10/13/04 3:13:32 PM Reply	I agree with you, that one was ridiculous. Drawing a picture of a weapon does not constitute a threat. Drawing up detailed plans and trying to get help to carry out threat, does. imho A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"
