Plot to blow up school?
On 20th April 2009, Matthew Swift and Ross McKnight were accused of plotting to blow up their school due to allegedly beoming obsessed with Columbine killers Harris and Klebold. However on Wednesday 16th September, after spending 6 months in prison, the boys were found not guilty of trying to blow up the school. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) based much of the case on journals and diaries kept by the pair, which were full of rants against society. However none of their writing was no more then a fantasy and I think that the prosecution was dealt in the wrong way considering the evidence and I think that it was judgemental and it stereotypes teenages as very negative.
