I'm not sure how this is noteworthy. Even as far back as 1987 we would occasionally have one of those phoned into our High School and after an hour of us outside and the dogs and police checking, we would be allowed back inside. Real or fake this is a very aged unfortunate occurrence that will always be with us.

Find out who did it and throw the book at them so the next idiot who does this will think twice.

These threats have been around since I was in school, seems like nothing has changed.

You know I almost have to laugh at the way our society is going. Why do you think it’s going this way?
