Well the hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut,
Barack Obama established a task force,
headed by Vice President Joe Biden, to come up with solutions to end
gun violence. However, one of the members of Biden’s task force has a
son that has been convicted, not just charged, but convicted, of
planning a mass murder at a high school in Massachusetts in 2004.
President of the National Assocation of Police Officers and Boston
Police Officer Thomas Nee is the member in question. His son, Josephe
Nee, was
convicted in February 2008 for planning a Columbine-style ambush at Marshfield High School in 2004.
Authorities learned about the plan in September of that
year, when Nee went to police with two classmates and told officers that
Kerns was planning a massacre at the school. Nee told police the plan
involved taking ammunition and explosive devices into the school,
securing the school’s exit doors with bicycle locks, and shooting
students and staff.
Police arrested Kerns the following day.Police didn’t arrest Nee until a month later, after friends of Kerns
implicated Nee as the mastermind of the plot. The two youths were once
close friends; Nee even lived at the Kerns’s home for a month during the
spring of 2004.
Kerns’s father, Ben, said that the boys had a falling out and that he believed Nee was trying to frame his son.

A grand jury returned indictments against Nee and Kerns in October
2004, charging both with conspiracy to commit murder, promotion of
anarchy, and threatened use of deadly weapons at a school. Kerns and Nee
pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Boston.com also
reported
of the first incident where Nee was seen with a .40 caliber Glock in
his waistband by a female student as she was getting off the school bus
and how she had heard Nee talk about “how the school was going to be
shot up.” Apparently the firearm was his father’s service weapon.
Boston Police plan to contact authorities investigating
the alleged Columbine-style attack plot at Marshfield High School to
determine if a gun that one suspect allegedly showed to another student
was a .40-caliber handgun issued by Boston Police.
A female student told Marshfield Police that Joseph T. Nee, one of
the two suspects in the case, pulled what she thought was a black,
.40-caliber handgun from his waistband as she was getting off a school
bus this past spring and told her “how the school was going to be shot
up,” John P. McLaughlin, an assistant Plymouth district attorney, said
at Nee’s arraignment Monday.
Nee is the son of Thomas J. Nee, president of the Boston Police
Patrolmen’s Association, the city’s largest police union. Boston police
officers carry .40-caliber Glock handguns, according to a department
spokeswoman.
Yesterday, Boston Police Lieutenant Kevin Foley said news reports
that Joseph Nee was carrying a .40-caliber handgun “was really the first
we’d heard of that particular allegation.”
Nee isn’t the only questionable person serving on the task force.
Attorney General Eric Holder is also on board, despite the ongoing
investigation into gunwalking at least 2,500 firearms into Mexico which
has left hundreds of people dead on his watch, including two federal
agents.
Joseph Nee was handcuffed today moments after being given
a sentence that will keep him in prison for six months for his role in
plotting a Columbine-style ambush at Marshfield High School in 2004.
Nee sat silently as the Plymouth Superior Court clerk outlined his
fate: The total sentence spanned 2 1/2 years and included 2 years
probation. Judge Charles M. Grabau ordered Nee to spend 9 months of that
in the Plymouth House of Correction, but gave him credit for 92 days he
has already served. The remaining 21 months of the sentence was
suspended.

Nee’s lawyer, Thomas Drechsler, vowed to appeal. His client faced up
to 20 years in prison. Nee, who has been free on $20,000 bail since
January 2005, was taken into custody.
The sentence came after a four-day bench trial that included
testimony from a dozen witnesses. Nee was acquitted of two other
charges: promotion of anarchy and threatened use of deadly weapons at a
school.
Kerns was tried and found guilty of threatening to use deadly weapons
and conspiracy to commit murder. In November, he was sentenced to 10
months in jail. He is being held at the Plymouth House of Correction.
