Theodore Hollot, an 18-year-old engineering major, appeared at two separate hearings Wednesday morning on a felony charge of possessing a destructive device and a misdemeanor of reckless conduct.
So, it turns out the Georgia Tech student was putting dry ice with water in bottles and throwing them out the window of his dorm. A few of them didn't go off and one blew up when a janitor picked it up later. They went on national television and called THAT a TERRORIST ATTACK!?@#!@ Now that the smoke has cleared they are charing him with a FELONY!@# Somebody has their head planted firmly up their ass. I put dry ice in a scope bottle and blew it up in the exact same quad when I was a freshman. Of course I was careful to clean up what was left. The cops showed up because they thought the noise might have been a gun shot. When they realized it was just some kids fucking around with dry ice they left. That was it. No national news. No felony charges. No night in jail. No terrorism warning. No big fucking deal. Its really really hard to hurt someone with dry ice and plastic bottle. Its certainly possible, but its no more dangerous then umpteen billion other stupid things college freshmen do. Give me a fucking break! DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST THEODORE HOLLOT |
