Atlanta CBS noon news reported arrest of 16 year old boy in

[Ilsa]

Forsyth County, which is just north of north Fulton County. The boy attended West Forsyth High School. Apparently he posted something on social media considered as threatening the school, action to be taken today, and with a firearm. A parent saw it and reported it. The sheriff's detectives investigated it all night and made the arrest this morning. The kid has been turned over to Juvenile Justice Center.

This is a good school in a wealthy county.

2. School shootings

always spawn copycat threats. Because kids are stupid. We had one in our little county day before yesterday. And he actually had an AR15 in his house. Another one yesterday north of here. "But, I was just joking!"

3. Been a hell of a lot

of very near misses. I'm puzzled how kids this young find the means to accumulate arsenals. Hell I just worked to buy a new bike. Are parents just lletting kids grow up with zero supervision.

4. Just a casual look-in on two small Mississippi online papers reveal three threats at local schools.

I suspect they're all over the place and police are pressed to cover them.

5. There was another threat the following day on twitter

and maybe something else. Half of the school was picked up by parents. The car lane was as bad as it is after school, according to facebook reports.

The police were notified. A 15 year old boy was picked up that evening. Notifications went out from the sheriff's dept and the school.

I'm baffled that a 15 year old would make threats knowing that a 16 year old had been arrested.

6. These school massacres typically happen in good schools in wealthy places, so I am not

sure why you added that. I would be more shocked if it happened at a "bad" school.

9. I added it to reinforce that point:

the school fits the profile of schools that have had mass shootings.

7. There are bound to be copycats. Sad, but true. eom

8. The dangerous kids are the ones that are determined to shoot up a place and do not post of social

media. People like Adam Lanza. They are out there and our society is giving them guns.
