#2 ...Ooooooooooooooooookayyyyyy. Sadly, these nice folks are going to discover that when the FBI is involved, no amount of 'he's-a-good-boy-just-a-little-confused' is going to keep him outta the hoosegow.

#3 Begolly has been a student at Penn State New Kensington. Begolly's mother is a full professor with the university's engineering department, and his father has taught business classes for years on the same campus.

Eureka Dr. Watson!

#4 ...the government's main source of information is his estranged mother, who has some sort of relationship with the lead agent in the case, Bradley Orsini.

During a failed federal prosecution of former Allegheny County coroner Dr. Cyril Wecht, the government turned over records demonstrating that when Orsini was an agent in New Jersey, he had been repeatedly disciplined for falsifying records.

And from the Jawa Report link, above:
Begolly is listed as an online student at Penn State University, meaning he doesn't necessarily attend the school in State College, Pa.

If the prosecutor has any brains, they'll throw out the case, fire Agent Orsini for inventing a case at the behest of his lover, and go after the lad's mother for inappropriately getting them involved in a family problem. The sense I get from the story is that while the lad had been a college student, he was no longer capable of leaving the farm, and mostly not capable of leaving his room... and to him the jihadi stuff was a unreal as an on-line role-playing game.

Rusty at the Jawa Report link says the lad has been an on-line presence for several years, cheering for jihad in bloodthirsty terms. It is Rusty's opinion that the lad posed no real danger himself, just that he's a poisonous little shit whose words could lead others to act. And that it was the father who introduced him to Nazi ideology.

I can understand the mother being both estranged and distressed, but bringing in the FBI was not the right way to get the boy separated from his father and into a healthier environment. A social worker would be more appropriate, although the odds for success would have been better before the lad reached his 21st birthday.

#6 Dear God, what kind of lunatic gives an autistic kid a freaking GUN? Aspies will rip your throat out for complimenting them.

Oh. Just saw the stuff about pops being a Nazi. Poor kid was doomed anyway.
