On the one hand, safety for those kids is obviously important.

On the other hand, I can't help but feel irritated. Some stupid high school punk just got the free day off school that he was looking for. And this gives gun threats more "power."

Isn't there a better course of action, here? They're talking about canceling a dance, as well as a basketball game tonight. That isn't fair to kids like my little sister. Just because of some burn out who didnt want to go to math class...

Sure, convince your parents to move your family to a safer country.

Let's be honest here. It's some silver spooned brat who wanted to stay home and play fortnight.

He's also going to get several years in juvie or possibly even "grownup" prison.

This isn't the 90s anymore, where the only real punishment was showing up in the paper and picking up trash along the highway.

someone probably wanted a 3 day weekend and this way to go about it is totally not going to be worth it.

I recall at least two bomb scare during high school. We were just evacuated to the football field and stayed out there for some hours. For better or worse I was able to use that time to finally finish reading Great Expectation which I was waay behind on and sell-out all my fundraiser candy.

In hindsight, I can't help but wonder if said bomb threat was real the culprit would had planted the bomb at the evac location.

Nah.
Fake the bomb, then find a good sniper nest overlooking the evac area.

What a coincidence. This morning an armed and dangerous person was arrested near my old place of employment who just had a bunch of layoffs.

I am both amazed and appalled at that kinda strategical thinking.

A little bit of paranoia is healthy, as is being able to intuit likely points of failure.

Some of the teachers who had the day off today used it to protest gun control in the local park. I'm looking at some of them post on Facebook. It seems really tense. But no actual violence has been declared thus far.

I have yet to hear of any singular student getting punished for this. Makes me think the kid who wanted to get off school just leaked a "rumor that he heard." Pisses me off because it really feels like he, or she I guess, is getting away with ruining some perfectly good events for hundreds of people tonight.

I heard about it personally from my sister last night. She attends the high school that received the threat. I graduated from there in '08.

I tried to find some examples, but all I got is the relevant law:

What kind of idiot makes a gun/bomb threat to get out of class? Back in my days, we just skipped class.

Finals for my senior year of college there was a bomb threat. Dude is still in jail. To be fair I went to the same college as the Boston marathon bomber so that might have played a part.

I specifically meant I haven't heard of anybody in my area being held responsible for today's gun threat. Leading me to believe he or she will receive no consequences for ruining this night's activities for my community. Pisses me off...

A high school junior was apprehended making the threat! I'm happy to say he did NOT get away with it! And the dance was moved to today.

Well, there's always the police/surveillance state route. It's not very popular in concept, but if the government just shot everyone who was found guilty of abusing their power in that position it'd balance itself out.

...let's see who gets worked up.
