Bath's George Wolf Elementary Vandalism Includes Bomb Threat
The one I find most disturbing announces, "I am gonna bomb this school next year 2017."
I am informed that Colonial Regional Police are investigating.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Trashy hillbillies.

ReplyDeleteDo people that actually intend to bomb a place ever call it in or announce it in advance? I understand you have to be careful sometimes, but why must we overreact to every bomb threat anybody ever calls in or announces in this country? I am unaware of any bomb or explosion that went off where somebody called in advance and said it was going to happen.
The answer to your question is Yes. Groupps often do announce their intentions in advance. As for over-reacting, I don't consider this a credible threat, especially since it is about something that won't occur until next year. But I also think people have a right to know. Hence my story.
ReplyDeleteThis is the equivalent of sending out a public health warning because of the outside possibility of contracting AIDS from chewing gum found under the desks.
ReplyDeleteThis is just some lead-brained kid making a naughty, then they'll stop and stare, seeing if someone bites.
It more "vice principal" than "Terrorist Task Force". No need to break out the "Stingray Device" or check on cell availability at Gitmo.
Whoever you are making these comments do you have children. Now a days things that you wouldn't think we're threats or something to worry about are the things that actually result in happening.
DeleteKristi, I felt you had a right to know, even if this is just a bunch of kids.
