Local man arrested after Facebook threat to 'shoot up' schools
http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Skagit-Co-man-arrested-after-Facebook-threat-to-shoot-up-schools-183724681.html
SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. - Police have arrested a 19-year-old Skagit County man who threatened on Facebook to "shoot up every school within a 100-mile radius" if his gun rights were taken away after the Connecticut school massacre.
Authorities had been looking for the man, identified as Korry Martinson, 19, since Friday at about 7:20 p.m., after he allegedly posted the threat on his Facebook page, police said.
The threat was seen by several people, who reported it to the Sedro-Woolley police and the Skagit County Sheriff's Office.
Martinson's mother also was contacted by several callers. When she confronted her son about the posting, he got into an argument with her and took off before police arrived at his home.
Authorities had been looking for him ever since, and the FBI was monitoring the case, said Lt. Lin Tucker of the Sedro-Woolley Police Department.

He needs to be kept away from guns for the next 60 years, by force if necessary.

He's an extreme danger to the public.

Griping about the kid's freedom of speech, claiming there's no threat in what he said!
He's gotten the whole county buzzing now, scared and angry. And the morons aren't happy, either.

of course until then he should remain confined to a mental health institution for his protection and ours.
