My wife is staying at the fire station tomorrow night, so it's going to be a boys night. I think I'll get some pizza and my Son wants to watch the Halloween movies.

Nobody that is serious about doing something like that isn’t going to announce it before hand.

Didn't the school in Georgia last week have a call in before the day started?

Just got the property tax notice on my car. $450 is absurd for car taxes.

The mom called from 2 hours away about 30 minutes before saying she had a feeling. The shooter didn’t announce he was going to do it.

Yes, his Mom called the school about an hour before the shooting because he had called her. She asked to check on her Son as he was not well and may do something drastic. They went to his classroom and pulled out the wrong kid with a similar sounding name. When they figured out they messed up, the shooting started.

Have you not seen the commercial by the comedians reading school threats that were all done prior to the actual shootings that no one took serious?

I thought I heard something about someone calling in about 5 schools being targeted?

It's easy to do with how stupid their algorithms have gotten. I had a friend share a post this week from Facebook where they took down photos of her own kids because they were a copyright infringement.

That happens every day somewhere in the country. When I was teaching, somebody called into 1 of the high schools with a threat for the next day so they cancelled school. This turned into threats being called into every high school and some of the middle schools in the district over the next few weeks so they wouldn’t have school.
