Max: Thought Criminals Are Doubleplusungood
No Charges Over Online Columbine Comment
Wisconsin teacher who posted an anonymous comment online sarcastically praising the Columbine High School gunmen won't face criminal charges, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Washington County District Attorney Todd Martens said the comment left by James Buss was offensive and disgusting, but was protected speech under the state and U.S. constitutions.
Buss, 46, a high school chemistry teacher in suburban Milwaukee, was arrested by police last week for a Nov. 16 post on a conservative blog that covers Wisconsin politics.
During a discussion over teacher salaries, Buss wrote that Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold "knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time!" He added that the gunmen, who killed 12 students and one teacher in the April 1999 attack, should be remembered as heroes.
