So, exactly how dumb are kids nowadays? Well, if you gauge the level of ignorance and stupidity with 19-year-old Nurse’s Aide Shannon Maureen Conley of Denver, Colorado, then the youth in this country are pretty stupid.

It seems as if Conley was planning on joining the terror group ISIS and “waging jihad in the Middle East,” but was arrested by FBI agents on charges of conspiring to help a foreign terrorist organization when she tried to board a flight to the Turkey, where she hoped to eventually join the terrorist group in Syria.

Conley was to meet a Tunisian man she met online, marry him, and become a housewife that would care for ISIS associates.

FBI agents tried several times to “discourage” her from moving forward with her plan, but the kid told agents that he was adamant about what she wanted to do, and that she wanted to “use her American military training from the U.S. Army Explorers to start a holy war overseas, even though she knew that it was illegal.”

In recently released federal court documents, Conley said that her “legitimate targets of attack” included military facilities, government employees and public officials.

The rest of the story reads like this:

FBI agents became aware of Conley’s growing interest in extremism in November after she started talking about terrorism with employees of a suburban Denver church who found her wandering around and taking notes on the layout of the campus, according to the court documents.

The church, Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada, was the scene of a 2007 shooting in which a man killed two missionary workers.

She spoke with agents several times after that, telling them of her desire for jihad, the records state. The agents tried openly to dissuade her, urging her instead to support Muslims through humanitarian efforts, which she told them was not an option.

“Conley felt that Jihad is the only answer to correct the wrongs against the Muslim world,” the documents say.

Agents encouraged Conley’s parents to get her to meet with elders at her mosque to find more moderate options. Her parents were apparently unaware of her extremism, authorities said.

Her father told an agent in March that Conley and her suitor had asked for his blessing to marry and were surprised when he declined. Her father later found a one-way plane ticket to Turkey.

Four days before her arrest, she told agents “there was nothing they could do to change her mind and that she was still going.” They stopped her as she was walking down the jetway.-FOX

Poor parents.
