The question here is whether it was clear that he actually was going to carry out attack (i.e. was he in the car loaded with guns a driving to the school), or was just fantisizing about it (i.e did he have a list of peopel he didn't like?). If he was just about to carry it out, the punishment seems very light. If it was just a fantasy, then the punishment reflects governmetn paranoia. And if he was in a juvenile facility, why is he being sent to an adult facility now if he didn't commit another crime - it sounds like multiple punishments for the same thing? Something is wrong here.

He's being transferred because he was charged as an adult & he is now 18, which legally, makes him an adult. You need to join him.

Please tell me how probation officers can make sure Mr. Fechteler does not do one of the following:
•He cannot drink or use drugs.

•He must never have contact with people on his hit list, he needs to stay off Newington High grounds.

•And he cannot — unless specifically for work or school — use a computer.

Will someone be assigned to watch him 24/7? Is the probation office that fat that can assign one case to an officer?

In Japan; modern economy/society; students must take a placement test after 8th grade to see if they will continue and go into High School. If they do not score high enough or do not want to go, they go to a trade school or into an apprenticeship. That is the way it should be in the USA. Not every kid wants to go into a white collar job. If a delinquent teen does not want to go to school fine; then let him go to a trade school and work as a young apprentice. That's how it used to be in this country also. Why should all the other kids suffer because of Counter Culture black leather jacket punks who only know how to spray paint the center of Newington?

Fechteler's plot began to unravel on Feb. 12, 2007, when a 17-year-old girl in Canton complained to police about receiving a disturbing online instant message from another Canton teenager, along with a link to five YouTube videos listed under the profile name uzi4u50, according to an arrest affidavit. The user of the profile was described as "frank the tank." At the time, Fechteler was a 16-year-old junior at Newington High.
Three of the videos showed Fechteler shooting tactical rifles at an outdoor range in Glastonbury, the affidavit said. The two other videos, listed as "comedy," featured Fechteler and a friend setting off homemade bombs behind the American Radio Relay League's headquarters in Newington.

Doesn't sound like a plot to me. The search warrant was obviously illegal. The police can fabricate what they want.

Then you must be the other teen in the video!Why don't you mention the truth about the long gun which was laying across his bed when they executed the search warrant!? Nice try at feeding the public only "choice" facts. You would make a good communist.

Look at my name. A "Bar Card" is a law license. Ignorant people keep lawyers wealthy.

You said:

What's wrong with guns? Only a communist would trust what the police say. People have the right to bear arms.

Take a look at the movie "Minority Report"
In this film they have a bunch of psychics wired together and floating in a pool.
With their combined psychic ability they are able to predict "Future Crime".
The cops go out and arrest the criminal before he commits the crime.

I think Connecticut has one of those psychic fish tanks,with a couple of Jean Dixon clones floating around predicting future crime.
I'll bet that is how they nabbed this kid.

This young man got off lightly. When you think of what could have been, Wow! How many counts of conspiracy to commit murder was he charged with?

Good thing he did not use his constitutional right to a trial.
If he did and the state was able to prove their case he would have gotten a much harsher sentence.
Never use your rights because that alone will add a few years to the sentence.

Shoulda figured...another dopey liberal lawyer. It is because of you and your kind that America is the mess that it is. I guess we should have waited for this idiot to actually kill people to do something. The police were able to stop this guy before he did something. Maybe fantasizing about killing people seems normal to you but I for one am glad this kid is in jail. It was only a matter of time before he did something. Serial killers and rapists usually fantasize about committing crimes before they actually start. What do you fantasize about? Actually being a productive member of society. I doubt it...or you wouldn't brag about being a lawyer and stealing money from people.

Hey hold on now! There are some good honest lawyers out there.
I met one once.
He was disbarred for being to overzealous in defending his client.

I was dating on Match.com in NYC for a while. It is full of young professionals too busy to get many good social opportunities. Mainly lawyers, doctors, advertising professionals and finance professionals.

I took a few female lawyers out and they were all the worst dates I have ever had. Just as I always suspected, I don't like lawyers. Of course there are a few good ones somewhere... I think. Law of averages.

Holy argumentative, self righteous, have to be right and combative egos. Some wires were not quite connected properly at birth.

One of the more true statements my father ever told me is... "All the money in the world can't buy class or taste".
