I used to think the movie Minority Report was far-fetched. So's not to post a spoiler on the movie, this is just a little about it:

Summaries
  • In a future where a special police unit is able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes, an officer from that unit is himself accused of a future murder.
    —Skip4591
America isn't handling the population that is actually committing crimes let alone folks that just threaten. I'm not much into looking at the future, too scarey :(
 
Keep in mind that according to the folks who will not support even the most basic controls over gun ownership, she's a law abiding legal gun owner, exercising her 2nd Amendment rights - - -- - - - until she pulls the trigger. Only then, in the flick of an eyelash, does she become the infamous " thug with a gun", and only then does the wrath of legal gun-owners descend on her. How pathetic.
 
There are several reports about this young person on the internet, basically all stating the same thing. I think a threat as this, whether it be real or made up, has to be taken seriously in light of the past mass shootings.

I am always saddened to see young people throw away their life, at least for the near future, just to bully, brag, intimidate or whatever other emotion and also use those emotions to make people believe that they are going to perform such a terrible act of terror.

This young lady is definitely in need of psychiatric help. She has a history of performing bad acts against her peers. It probably wouldn’t hurt to start teaching children at an early age (in school perhaps) why picking up a gun to resolve an issue when we believe that we have been wronged is a bad idea and to discuss alternate methods that would result in a peaceful resolution and allow everyone to stay alive.

Doing nothing is no longer acceptable. And, waiting until the next mass shooting to again debate and have conversations on the subject is also unacceptable. As they used to say, “Actions speak louder than words.”

Just like Gary O said in the last long string of posts on this subject, “Do something!”

I clearly stated my ideas in the thread “and the shootings go on” in page 4, thread 92.

Well, when they closed, [at least around here] it was said to be due to their being so cruel ? But no doubt today re-opening would be a money thing as well.

That's an attempt to avoid telling people the truth. They're hoping to convince the gullible people that it has nothing to do with money.

The United States of America does not have money for things like that.

The only thing we have plenty of money for is war.
