Florida Student Arrested For Making A Mass Shooting Threat

I think with the Texas blunders at the mass shooting there, we forget that law enforcement often does amazing work and often catches tons of criminals (or terrorists) before they ever get a chance to harm anyone.

I know a gal who worked security at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. She told me that for every bomb threat that got reported in the news, there were about 30 that they dealt with.

Unless he is a sociopath I think having to view the various crime scene photos, audio and videos should redirect his negative energy into positive thinking.
 
This is why we must make sure these 'shooters/gunmen', are not seen as some sort of hero. Children must be made aware of the distress and anguish which is caused by those who carry out such actions.
 
We don't know this kid. It could be dumb prank call with consequences. It could be fear that he's next. It could be induced the 24/7 TV "tragedy" coverage. It could be just what an 11-year-old kid does. During Viet Nam, I was stationed at St. Albans Naval Hospital, NYC. We were always getting bomb threats Try to figure out why you would make a bomb threat to a hospital?????
 
In case anyone is wondering how long it will be until the next school shooting, read this Twitter thread. Remember, even though law enforcement prevents many threats from coming to pass, they only have to miss one for tragedy to occur.

All in the last week, let me count them for you -

#1 10 yo old child, Florida
#2 29 yo man, Massachusetts
#3 16 yo, Long Island
#4 18 yo man, Florida
#5 4 violent threats in last week, Maine
#6 16 yo, Queens
#7 4 teens in Uvalde , Texas

And then there are the number of people shot in 12 mass shootings since Uvade

UPDATE:
There have been 12 mass shootings since Uvalde:
8 shot in Okla.
7 shot in Nevada
6 shot in Alabama
6 shot in Chattanooga
5 shot in Phoenix
5 shot in Michigan
5 shot in Chicago
4 shot in Colorado
4 shot in Florida
4 shot in CA
4 shot in CA
4 shot in Philly

Given those statistics, I'll venture to say the next school shooting cannot be to far off.
 
I noticed after Parkland all the school safety programs lost their speed so the clock ticks. Shame.
