In Middletown, Pa. An 18-year-old man is charged with possessing a weapon of mass destruction, risking a catastrophe, recklessly endangering another person, disorderly conduct and simple assault. Police say he ignited a plastic egg filled with plastic air-gun pellets in a flea market, hitting at least five people and causing alarm. It happened Saturday afternoon at a Saturday's Market in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County.
Although charging this teen with a WMD charge is a bit extreme this kid definitely needs to be punished. He didn't make a bomb or anything that could cause mass destruction however, this immature teen took an idea and concept that is very real and very scary and put a teenagers twist on it took cause fear and alarm. Now this kid is not a terrorist but the concept of terrorism is to instill fear in people and cause them to become alarmed and that is what this teen did in Pennsylvania. I disagree with the fact that they are charging this man with a WMD charge because he could not have caused mass destruction but, I do respect this small town for recognizing the fact that this kid was making a parody of terrorism the thing that we in the U.S. are fighting against. I feel they are making an example out of this man for all those who think terrorism is a joke!
