Oh what a lovely pair of totally thick and stupid grandparents.
This is the kind of fallout you get when a government creates a state of fear amongst the gullible majority in order to further its dubious policies.
The fear everyone goes on about is supposedly directed at muslims, is it not? This isn't about fear, it is about apathy and it coming back to bite you when you ignore signs that someone could seriously do some wrong.

All that Trenchcoat Mafia stuff, AFAIK never mentioned any names or places, which is why noone did anything.

Incog: The police shouldn't be the first place to take it, logically, the psyciatrist would be, but how do you know the grandparents didn't try and get the kid help? If the kid refused to go, then the police would be the next thing to do.

Also, if memory serves, Columbine was in 1998, 3 years before Bush took office, and if memory serves me again, in the year or so after columbine kids complained that parents were too eager in reporting them, because of coumbine. The seeds were sown long before Bush came along.

Still it is fruitless discussing it as noone knows what was said (apart from the kid himself, and I wouldn't call that impartial). Besides, even if the grandparents were so consumed by fear, the police wouldn't be.
