I was on the phone with X as the story broke and the first thing I said was, "I'll betcha these 'men' are about 18," because of their plan to target a high school. Sure enough, one is 18, the other 20.

I'm not going to get into the whole thing here. This is a trivia post. The Associated Press is being cagey about why 88 and 14 are special

Y'know, Guma, that stumped me too. I started thinking about whether it was a conscious or unconscious expression of homoeroticism in their pair bond. White tuxedos are not uncommon wedding garments, particularly at gay or lesbian weddings.

Honestly, I'm stuck. And I'd guess rental. These two don't strike me as having the resources to buy. But who knows? If either of them had a charge card, and if they were planning to be dead before the bill arrived...

Dunderheads. There's a good old German-American name for them.

More: there's a good, detailed article at the local paper, which says they stole the only guns they had from family members. It also includes this:

“These men have some frightening weapons and some very frightening plans," said Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who studies the white supremacy movement. "But with the part about wearing top hats ... it gets a bit hard to take them seriously."
