-Caveat Lector- Police: Student accused in bomb plot had Columbine fascination <http://news.findlaw.com/ap/l/0000/2-1-2001/20010201025719100.html> By MAY WONG Associated Press Writer SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) _ A college student who allegedly assembled an arsenal of guns and explosives in his bedroom and plotted a mass killing at his school was fascinated with the 1999 rampage at Columbine High School and "hated everyone," police said Wednesday. Amid the 30 pipe bombs and 20 Molotov cocktails stashed under clothes and in duffel bags in Al DeGuzman's messy bedroom, investigators found magazine articles about the Columbine killers, writings worshipping them and pictures of them on the wall, Sgt. Steve Dixon said. DeGuzman, 19, allegedly planned for two years to kill fellow students at De Anza College and follow the example of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who killed 13 people and wounded 23 others in Littleton, Colo., before committing suicide. "He was going to kill as many people as possible before he died," Dixon said. "He seemed to think the more people he killed, the better it'd be, the more media attention." Deputy Police Chief Mike Miceli said DeGuzman talked a lot about Columbine, according to his friends. "He was fixed on Columbine," Miceli said. "Eric Harris is God," DeGuzman allegedly proclaimed on one Web site. "He's my savior." The site has been taken down by its administrator. While a specific motive remained unclear, investigators found angry writings on DeGuzman's computer. DeGuzman, who is of Filipino descent, lashed out against politicians, social classes and people of all ethnic groups _ including his own, police said. "He hated everyone," Miceli said. DeGuzman's attorney, Craig Wormley, said he had yet to see the police reports and would not comment on the case or his client's alleged fascination with Columbine. Wormley disputed authorities' assessment of DeGuzman's hatred of others. "That's an absolute falsehood. There are many people he cared about and loved," Wormley said. "Both his parents are in an extreme state of shock." DeGuzman's family refused to comment Wednesday. DeGuzman was in jail without bail, undergoing a routine psychological examination and awaiting a court appearance Thursday on a variety of weapons and explosives charges. His previous bail of $100,000 was removed Wednesday at the request of prosecutors, Assistant District Attorney Karyn Sinunu said. The plot to blow up the school unraveled Monday night when a photo lab clerk called police after developing pictures of DeGuzman allegedly posing with the arsenal. Nothing suspicious turned up during a daylong search on De Anza's campus Tuesday and the school reopened Wednesday. Police said they had determined no one else was involved in the plot. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
