"Four suspects have been arrested and charged after Greece Police say they planned to attack a Muslim community near Binghamton.
...
Greece Police say three of the four suspects knew each other because they were involved in Boy Scouts."
They were caught when the juvenile started talking at school.
Kudos to the kid(s) that tipped off the police.
Have a trial and if they are found guilty-lock them up for a long time. We have no more reason to make excuses for domestic terrorists that are white and native born than we do for the Islamic terrorists here. In fact, put them in cells together.
Would the organization be published at all much less in the title if it were the Drama club in HS or even middle school? Probably not.
The article doesn't say when they were in Boy Scouts but given their ages they were likely out of the scouts for quite some time.
Why wouldn't it?
The Columbine shooters ring any bells?
There have been many reports detailing how people have been radicalized at particular mosques, for example.
Or how people had relationships to places of employment, etc.
Surely if these alleged perpetrators had been Muslims, many would be going over the details of their backgrounds with a fine tooth comb.
How is mentioning that they met while participating in the Boy Scouts any different?
Upon further consideration: you know what noting that they were in the Boy Scouts says to me?
It says that seemingly normal kids next door types can be radicalized despite having what many would consider typical American upbringings.
Highlighting they were in the Boy Scouts would be like highlighting they were in the Drama club together.
Not exactly scouting claims to build the ethics and morality to a greater extent than do sporting and artistic clubs. That the scout organization seems to have failed with these suspects rightfully gets more notice than other groups would get.

Very sad.
..................................... when man bites dog, it is news. When dog bites man, it is commonplace.
it's good that they were caught before they could do anything.
why is it important or relevant that they were former boy scouts? you'll be ecstatic to hear that your fellow SJWs have pretty much stomped the hated boy scouts of america into the ground.
