OK the idiot wore a bullet proof vest to school, he's a moron.
He's also 18 and purchasing a shotgun and AK47 is perfectly legal, so is videotaping your dorky friends shooting it.
Looking past all the hype and BS, the kid had a can of pepper spray in his car. That's all?
Yeah yeah, it's a "grenade"......once again perfectly legal to own at age 18.
How do you get a charge of grand theft when the same article says he purchased all this stuff?
Sloppy reporting again, at it's best.
I don't know why I bother to read the news any longer.
Who knows what really happened here....
And I'm not saying the guy is a saint either, he may have really been planning something, but the way the press approaches these things is what really gets me.

An 18-year-old Florida student was arrested Monday after officials informed police he was wearing a bullet-proof vest on school property.
Shawn Keiffer Newberry, 18, of Lakeland, Fla., is facing charges of armed trespassing, grand theft and criminal mischief after police found the student had purchased body armor, a Taser, AK-47s, a shotgun, gas mask and ammunition among other items, officials said.
A search warrant executed on the student's home found a video showing Newberry and four others using the AK-47s for target practice.
Officials notified police Monday that Newberry was wearing a bullet-proof vest at the Life Skills Center in Lakeland. Newberry, officials said, was evasive when asked about the vest and a search of his vehicle turned up "Clear Out," a chemical agent used to temporarily incapacitate a person.

A possible school tragedy may have been prevented in Polk County this week.
Shawn Newberry, 18, was arrested Monday in Lakeland after authorities said he was stockpiling weapons.
According to Lakeland police, Newberry came to school at the Life Skills Center wearing body armor.
Police said Newberry had purchased body armor, a TASER, three AK-47s, a shotgun, grenades, a tactical helmet, a gas mask, and approximately 2,000 rounds of ammunition since January.
Police also found a video in the home of the teen that allegedly showed Newberry using a newspaper box for target practice.
Lakeland police are also looking for two other teenagers seen in the video.
