Worlds Boston Adverted Massacre

This doesn't really seem like something that should be on this forum... That being said I did watch the entire video, which I rarely do with videos linked on this forum.
 
The media is just over selling the situation. The two guys are just gun nuts that made a bad joke. They visited a shooting range on the way to the competition which is why they had the weapons on them. They didn't think their joke would be taken that seriously. They were arrested because they didn't have licenses for the weapons. They did not attempt to enter the event with weapons at all.
 
^ indeed.

And OP, Adverted is not a word :P

I touched on this a little bit in the video. I covered how the charges are for not having a license for the guns which is not at all required in the state they are from. I am still not completely convinced no violence was intended. The younger guy has a rough history. He also tried to kill himself a couple of times. Some of the threats made on a private forum were pretty bad also. But this is also all for the person doing the threat evaluation to decide. Over all I expect them to be out by the end of the week. But we will see.
