Well the hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. In the wake of the Sandy
Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Barack Obama
established a task force, headed by Vice President Joe Biden, to come up
with solutions to end gun violence. However, one of the members of
Biden’s task force has a son that has been convicted, not just charged,
but convicted, of planning a mass murder at a high school in
Massachusetts in 2008.
President of the National Assocation of Police Officers and Boston
Police Officer Thomas Nee is the member in question. His son, Josephe
Nee, was convicted in February 2008 for planning a Columbine-style
ambush at Marshfield High School in 2004.
According to Boston.com:
Authorities learned about the plan in September of that
year, when Nee went to police with two classmates and told officers that
Kerns was planning a massacre at the school. Nee told police the plan
involved taking ammunition and explosive devices into the school,
securing the school’s exit doors with bicycle locks, and shooting
students and staff.
Police arrested Kerns the following day.
Police didn’t arrest Nee until a month later, after friends of Kerns
implicated Nee as the mastermind of the plot. The two youths were once
close friends; Nee even lived at the Kerns’s home for a month during the
spring of 2004.
Kerns’s father, Ben, said that the boys had a falling out and that he believed Nee was trying to frame his son.
A grand jury returned indictments against Nee and Kerns in October
2004, charging both with conspiracy to commit murder, promotion of
anarchy, and threatened use of deadly weapons at a school. Kerns and Nee
pleaded not guilty to the charges.
