Police: Bomb-plot teen said he wanted to kill Jesus

A South Carolina teenager accused of planning to blow up his high school told authorities that he wanted to die, go to heaven and then kill Jesus.

Federal prosecutors told a judge Tuesday that Ryan Schallenberger, 18, made those statements to police.

The teen is accused of plotting to use a weapon of mass destruction, a charge that carries a possible life in prison upon conviction. Prosecutors say his statements indicate the boy needs a psychological evaluation. They have a point.

How ironic that now he is crazy. Yet he was not too crazy to make a bomb. He will probably end up in a phyc ward on our money.

This young boy may be sick in the head for what he was attempting to do, but I promise you one thing if that is the way he feel's about Jesus he will never gain entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven. This young boy will have eternal life in Hell...
