This was my WTF of the day many days ago.

I was about to turn off my T.V. when I had this strange urge to flip to the news. When I did so, a pretty, Asian reporter was informing the commoners of a 17 year old boy that was arrested for arson and possession of "explosive components". I feel that "possession of explosive components" is a vague and hence invalid charge. Indeed it is my opinion that that particular charge, as it is stated, is a mixture of horse manure, llama dribble, and herpes sore secretions. To put it more elaborately I feel that whatever highly overpaid government committee that made that crock-o-shit up, should be forced to endure several long and arduous sessions of agony and torment that are not to exclude Mongolian Acid Baths, Malagasy Anal Reaming Monkeys, and Fijian Scrotal Clamps. Oh, and their wives should be framed for some terrible atrocity that would leave a jury with no other choice but to sentence them to a lifetime spent in the servitude of fat, greasy, Hungarian monks who eat nothing but kielbasa and raw cabbage all day. These monks would then force them to clean vile and putred outhouses with handfuls of sand and metal shavings until their fingers are raw and bleeding; thus tenderly guiding the young ones that are left behind into a life of crime, copulation with unwitting cell mates, and crank. My justification is this. "Explosives" can be made out of a million and one perfectly legal things. Thus, turning a million and one perfectly legal things into "potential explosive components". So there is no telling what you’re going to use that bag of Sodium Nitrate for. I could fertilize my lawn... or blow up a federal building. It's my right as a human being to choose to keep up with my landscaping or attempt to snuff out hundreds of lives. Bottom Line: You can't arrest someone for a crime that they have not yet committed! What the Fuck Coppers!

You can be sent to prison...if you're an inventive sort of fellow...for writing about a potential plan to assassinate people. A guy came up with a deal where people would contribute money...the way to get said money was to bet on a date (as I recall) of death for said person...and there would be unlisted accounts. And he was sent to prison because he posted it on the internet.

So: not only can you be arrested for possibly going to commit a crime because of having potential explosives in hand...if you talk about it in the wrong venue, you can be sent to prison even if you don't have the explosive...

It would appear that I was mistaken. Thank you Glenn, for educating me in the ways of law and for outing my sense of know-it-all-ism.

Good to see that others are partaking of the mental purgation method known as "WTF of the day" as well.
