VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - An East Vancouver high school student who created a 'hit list' of students and staff at Templeton Secondary School has been given a two year conditional sentence that will focus on supervision, with no jail time.

The judge felt the few days the student originally spent in custody after his arrest was sufficient. Neil MacKenzie with the Criminal Justice Branch explains there are some conditions the teen has to follow as well. "He's to have no contact with a number of named individuals as well as any teacher at Templeton High school."

He's also banned from possessing weapons. The hit list was discovered on a Facebook page by a number of Templeton students last June. The teens reported it to staff and police, and the student behind the hit list was arrested soon after.

Only two years eh?

Are they sure it's a list of people who this dood is pissed off at, or people who this guy actually planned to injure/kill? I would imagine the JP would take that into consideration.

I bet that he will breach the conditional sentence order.

Pretty much this exact situation happened to a friend of mine in highschool. I'm pretty sure he was never going to go through with any of it anyways, but a few days in jail scared the shit out of him so bad I don't think he'll jaywalk at this point. He then got a 1 year conditional sentence where he had to spend a lot of time doing community service and showing that he was becoming a productive member of society to his probation officer.
