OT school shooting threats

I love dogs's picture

Multiple high schools in my area have received threats in the form of public social media posts saying that someone (nonspecific so far) will be opening fire at X school at Y time in Z building and some are just basic threats for a certain school.

People aren't sending their kids to school and Facebook is flooding with warnings. I had a good day today but now I am physically sick to my stomach.

Sorry to be a blog hog but I am so upset and disappointed with the world we live in.

our local schools are also on high alert with a strong police presence after a threat was made either last night or this morning. it's sickening.

At least a police presence is a deterrent but what gives these people the right to incite fear in families and CHILDREN??!

Maybe if the media would stop glorifying this crap, it would stop. I remember back in the day, when Anthrax threats were all the talk. We'd have kids at school bringing envelopes of baby powder and stupid crap in and throwing them in the hall and saying it was "Anthrax" causing evacuations, stress etc. But then the media moved on to the next "big thing" and that stopped.

The media is seriously like the trolls we see around here. Incessantly poking the bear... and the sheeple of this country and going right along with it.. posting and passing fake crap around social media, talking and fighting and debating about everything... which is EXACLTY what they want. So sick of it. I wish people would smarten up and take the power away from these trolls. Sad

You're complete right. I'm just sick of people trying to instill fear or "get a rise" out of the public. It is NOT ok to do with all of the tragedy that's already happened.

I am so sorry for children and parents affected by this. I can not imagine living in a society like this - being afraid of a school shooting or similar.

I am so grateful this is not something I worry about for my son. (You hurt my son, I swear I will kill you...)
