Bomb Threat

Today there was a bomb threat for my school. Someone called the local police saying that a bomb was set to go off in Willimasville North High school at 10:00 AM. We were all evacuated to Casey, the middle school right next door, as soon as they heard the news. Bomb sniffing dogs went through the school, and the police, ATF, and FBI searched the school. At 10:36AM they said it was safe to reenter the school, and that's where I am now.

We also found out that other public buidings were threatened today. Naturally, nothing happened.

I thought you might be interested. I can scan in the official letter we all got when I get home.

It's scary to think a bomb could go off in my school.

Creepy, I wouldn't want my school exploding... while I'm in it! Else, no problem

A few weeks ago, someone stole keshav's sister's cell phone and threatened to kill everyone in the school. I just got locked in the chemistry lab, but keshav (flamingspinach) was in the middle of everything. Here be the irc conversation of what happened:

It's sad to hear things like that,
1) Good thing there wasn't a bomb at your school
2) I really hope whoever made that call gets arrested for abusing the emergency system

Too bad you can't have a Cell remained locked. Oh well, at least everything should be fine now.

Well, some freshman at the nearby Starpoint high school made a bomb threat and pulled a fire alarm on the same day. Apparently she wrote the bomb threat on the wall. They caught her, and according to rumors, since she is over 16, she will be sent to a juvenile detention center until she is 18, then she will be tried as an adult. Stinks to be her, but she deserved it.

From what I've heard, it was an adult male voice that made the call about the bomb.

ROFL pwned. Big time.

BUt isn't that a bit unjust? Detaining her and then having her tried when she's 18?

Actually, this happened at a pretty good time for some people. No one wants to be in school the day before christmas eve, and this is a great excues to skip school. A lot of people left after the bomb threat evacuation was over.

In case anyone is interested, here is the letter we got about it, a couple hours after it happened.

"Dear North Parent"
Wow that's really ... really generic

Well, what do you want them to do? Print out a custom letter for each and every student in 2 hours? Williamsville North is a pretty large school.

Remind me ... how much tax do we and our parents pay? At least we could see a bit more bang for our buck in that letter

I don't know but you might want to remove keshav's phone # from that log.

That's even more generic.

Just to clarify it a bit, since there is a williamsville south and east nearby, everyone around here calls our school just "North."

We had several bomb threats when I went to school in Atlanta, GA (this was junior high). At my old high school (in Northampton, MA) we never had any, and they haven't had any at my college (Holyoke, MA) so far either, but we have had some rather frightening times. My school's AWC (Anti-War Coalition) is so dumb, it almost makes me want to join the College Republicans. Anyways, their main isue right now is getting military recruiters off campus, which I agree with- the problem is, they go about it by staging riots. Seriously, the campus police pepper-sprayed one kid. Honestly, its understandable, when you consider that the police were only there to protect the few College Republicans there to protest the AWC's protest, and the AWC kids were basically charging the police line. Oh well, at least I'm glad I wasn't at UMass (the college where I'm going once I graduate from this community college, since I can't afford all four years of UMass) when the Red Sox won.

We had a bomb threat freshman year, last year a girl I knew died in a drinking crash, a girl hung herself, and a base ball coach blew open his head, there was massive water pipe break and they were airating the school all winter long, and this year at the juneior high, my sister's freind's freind slit his wrists (My Sister>her Friend>suicide Friend My sister didn't know)
