A St. Olaf student has been arrested and charged with conspiracy

[Ocelot II]

to commit violence and terroristic threats - they found ammunition, knives, propane canisters and other scary stuff in his dorm room. https://www.startribune.com/charges-concerned-custodians-tip-led-to-st-olaf-students-cache-of-gun-magazines-arrows-campus-map/600265983/ St. Olaf, of all places, FFS! The crazies are everywhere.

1. I know a professor at St. Olafs.

I fear he could have been a target. Head best friends with Paul Wellstone.

4. Thinking a place like St. Olaf is immune is part of the problem.

5. Noplace is safe any more - finding this lunacy at St. Olaf emphasizes the point.

6. Even us good Lutherans in Pennsylvania know about St. Olaf

Many pastors and church musicians are graduates. Wow.

7. Very good school, first-rate music program.

I know a whole lot of Oleys, all of them musicians. But the crazies are everywhere now...

Jesse James shooting up the bank...

10. Meanwhile, in the Strib's comment sections,

the Trumpers are claiming the facts that this person went to St. Olaf and "the media" hasn't mentioned his politics proves he's a Democrat.

Not on this linked article where comments aren't permitted but on anything else that remotely touches on guns.

11. The Strib's comment section is a cesspool.

The guy didn't even have any actual guns (his assault rifle was back home in Vermont) - just a tactical vest, empty boxes for ammunition and magazines, a tactical knife, a folding knife, firearm earmuffs, six propane canisters, fireworks, lighter fluid, a battery with wires a lock pick set, notebooks with writings that included a plot to steal ammunition from a retailer, police radio frequencies and a hand-drawn map of a campus building showing escape routes.

So no problems, right? That's perfectly normal stuff any liberal college student is likely to have in his dorm room. And a lot of college students leave notes that say things like: "Combat is much faster and closer than you think" and "the average door takes 2.5 kicks," according to the complaint. Notes also contained training directions for where to shoot a person on their body, targeting three areas -- the upper thoracic, the T-zone of the face, and the pelvis. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/st-olaf-college-student-waylon-kurts-charged-after-cache-found-in-dorm/
