There's alot of passive language here, but I'm not seeing what he actually did.
"...that was made"
"...significant statements"
"...statements about"
"...conversations involving"
I'm not seeing, "He made threats" or "He handed out the book". Pigs had to kick his door in and steal it off his computer.
Also notice how they start the March 5th paragraph admitting they are describing a book before switching over to "...the document" when describing the contents.
Just going off what the news has reported what did this kid do Chuck Palahniuk didn't win an Oregon Book Award for?
March 3: MCPD contacted the Rockville City Police Department to check the welfare of Ye. The police department received information about a threat that was made. Officers went to Ye's residence and Ye's father answered the door. The officers were denied entry into the home and were not allowed to search the residence or to interview Ye.
March 4: The Rockville City Police Department notified the MCPD Community Engagement Division for an intervention. It was noted that Ye had made significant statements regarding shooting up a former elementary school Ye attended and high school. Police then issued a search warrant in order to gain access to the 129-page document.
March 5: A friend of Ye reported the student to police for a book he was writing. In the book, Ye detailed acts of a school shooting and stated that he wanted to be killed execution style. In the document Ye wrote that he would kill school children because, "little kids make easier targets." He also wrote that he wanted to become a serial killer instead of a mass murderer because serial killers are romanticized.
March 6: Intervention officers evaluated Ye at his home and he was taken to a hospital for an emergency evaluation petition.
March 13: FBI agents interviewed the Wootton High School staff.
March 15: After speaking to a school psychologist, they stated that Ye would be fixated on statements about school shootings.
