  Making excuses for someone who had anything to do with a plan for terrorism is ridiculous. Are we really expected to believe that he was like some 12 year old who smokes a cigarette due to peer pressure? I'm not buying it. Not even in the slightest. Maybe they made the conditions easier for him, but he had the thought and intent in the first place. It's like going wandering around looking for crack cocaine, on a back country road in amishville. You can't get arrested for thoughts of smoking crack and seeking it out, but then a drug dealer comes along and you get busted because he's an undercover cop, right? But, then you plead that you should be let go because you really just wanted to fantasize about smoking crack and never had full intention to actually buy a crack rock. See how ridiculous that sounds? Yeah. I also think it's ludicris that they defended his character saying he's not capable of anyting malicious. Who is he to judge and decide that? ANYONE is capable of being malicious, no matter how sedate or docile or upstanding they appear on the surface. So many factors can play into someone "falling down," and going off the deep end, but that doesn't seem to be the case here anyway, if he had an extensive arrest record. Furthurmore, anyone who wanted to gain attention by causing damage to corporations should instead get a job and try to focus on their own life. These kids find identity in being destructive, and that's damaging to everyone.
