Pennsylvania teen lauded by Bush admits theft

Source: Philadelphia Enquirer

The teen lauded by President Bush for his role in defusing a possible Columbine-style assault at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School admitted yesterday that he later burglarized the bedroom of the would-be attacker.

Lew Bennett III, 14, was one of three male Plymouth Township ninth graders who acknowledged their participation in two burglaries last month at the home of Dillon Cossey, who admitted in October that he had stockpiled weapons to attack the school.

Bennett's attorney, Brian McLaughlin, said the judge would hear more about his client's thought process at the next proceeding, but suggested that the intense attention the teen's actions prompted, including that from the White House, may have influenced his behavior.

"That's a lot of notoriety to deal with," he said. Bush was in the area for a fund-raiser on Oct. 30 when he greeted Bennett at Philadelphia International Airport, hailing him as a hero.

Bush has the magic touch.

Perhaps some of that going around here, too!

He was keynote speaker early this morning at our school, for Rachel's Challenge. If anything, this is what every school should have. Fuck the state testing. Teach heart and character.

accusing someone of stockpiling weapons, then breaking in and stealing from him.

Good fit.

Oh, sorry, did I say that out loud?

He wanted to impress Jodie Foster George Bush.

So he committed a wanton act of destruction.

If he REALLY wanted to impress Bush, he should have burglarized the apartment of the guy NEXT DOOR to the person actually involved in the attack, and then hired his friends and family to repair the damage.
