FLORIDA: Hate begat more hate

With all the hate coming out of Florida from community leaders I wasn't surprised to see this:

Three DeLand teens appeared in court Saturday, facing felony charges for plotting to shoot classmates and then themselves, and they will remain in detention for at least 21 days, according to the mother of one of the middle school students.

Austin Mohr, Tyler Christian and Charlene Russell, all 13 years old, were charged and taken into custody Friday by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, after investigators determined they were planning a Columbine-style massacre at DeLand Middle School. The three are being held at the Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center.

On March 5, student Phoebe Lewis contacted the Sheriff's Office disturbed by a conversation she had with Mohr, her "friend" through MySpace, in which he said he was going to kill students at DeLand Middle School similarly to the Columbine massacre, the affidavits say.

"I'm going to take my own life; everyone will pay for what they did to me; they will all die along with me; they call me worthless, poser and faggot; you're all dead," Mohr wrote.

Mohr also had a MySpace conversation that night with Samantha Dyer, according to the affidavit. He wrote to her, "I will kill every person I see; the shooting will happen; no one matters anymore because me and Tyler (Christian) are going to die doing it . . . LA riots . . . Oklahoma bombing; . . . the massacre will happen soon; it's going to be fun as hell; we are going to kill ourselves at the end."

Mohr was taken to Halifax Behavioral Services in Daytona Beach under the state's Baker Act by investigators after he was interviewed March 5, believing him to be a danger to himself and others, the affidavit states.

A student told Susan Erbel, one of the school's counselors, that Mohr had a "following" of several students that included Charlene Russell, the affidavit states.

When counselor Erbel confronted Charlene Russell with accusations that she was talking about killing students at school, she admitted it was true, the affidavit states. She also told the counselor she had friends who would lend her hunting guns, and there would be no consequences to murder.

"Not if I'm dead," Charlene Russell told the counselor, according to the affidavit.
