He'd also taken to wearing trench coats to school, which not only made him unoriginal, but left him with a pervasive sense of bad fashion.
But it got a bit more serious on August 23, when he told coworkers at a day care that he had enough explosives to blow up Sisseton. They called the cops. When police searched his home, they found all the equipment needed for a would-be terrorist.
He had do-it-yourself manuals for making explosives, in addition to pipes, blasting caps, ammunition and a sawed-off shotgun. The sick little bastard also had a list of 30 women he wanted to kidnap, rape, and torture. He planed to use a knife to "gut them like a pig."
Another list was called "things I would love to do." That called for blowing up a day care, fire bombing homes, spending years torturing people before finally killing them, assassinating cops, and blowing up Sisseton High School. He would then execute all survivors.
It seemed to be more than talk, since police found diagrams of the school and notes on its safety protocols. His goal, he wrote, was to become the "world's most famous sociopath."
He's now been loaded up with charges, which are likely to grow. So far, they mostly center around the illegal building and sale of explosives. But since they would only max out at 25 years in the slam, expect police to bomb him with a laundry list of additional charges to keep the little prick locked away forever.
