Damn. Here's a link to the story:

Two La. Students Arrested in Alleged Plot

Having just watched Elephant (for the second time) and Zero Day (first time) in the past week, that story really got to me.

Interesting, but were they really planning on carrying it out? I recall the pictures I used to draw in class and the stories my friends and I would tell each other, and think that in a post-Columbine era we too might have been arrested. I don't blame the officials for being cautious, but sometimes kids have to let off steam. It's curious how Columbine seems to have changed absolutely nothing about the politics of high school. What is it about the institution that creates such antogonism?
