On May the 3rd, Kevin Collier writes to the Salon over a supposed terrorist threat made by a high school student on Facebook. Collier begins the article by saying Camerom Dambrosio, 18, has been arrested for stating he'd be famous by making the Boston bombing seem minor and insignificant. The author then quotes the police chief of the small then, who says that since he's making so many allegations, he'll have "to prove himself" and, therefore, kill somebody. Solomon, the cop, also shares a few more words said by the student. Towards the end of the aticle, Collier talks about a previous online crime commited by Dambrosio, found in his youtube account.
Collier's intention with the article is mainly to expose the new occurrence and to discreetly show how pathetic and despicable the student is. In order to do that, he explictily states the fact and directly quotes the authorities in charge who dealt with the problem. Towards the end, he minimizes the student by commenting on his rap video and saying "Methuen, Mass. isn’t precisely “the hood,” according to recent crime statistics," which contains a certain tone of mockery.
