Bomb Threats, at school Options

[YourSuperior]

There was a bomb threat at my school today. We were outside for almost two hours. Well how this all started was when a girl named Tierra who is a freshman, found a whole bunch of bomb threat notes on paper pasted on the walls in the girls bathroom. A guy named Xavier found some in the boys bathroom also. The note said the bombs were implanted in the cielings of some random class rooms, they didn't tell what class rooms. When the police arrived at our school, they made us evacuate the school immdeately. All the 700 kids at my school were on our football field. The dumb part was that the police officers didn't check the ceilings for the bombs. They only checked all of the lockers and bathrooms. So basically my friends at school and I could still get blown up tomorrow. I can't believe that they're still forcing us to go to school tomorrow!

Has this happend to any of you?

[*mipadi*]

Yeah, about six years ago, at my high school, there was a rash of bomb threats—about one or two a week for a month or a month and a half. I wasn't in the high school at the time (I was in eighth grade), but my brother was. He got sent home once, but the other times, the students were just evacuated to another building for a few hours. The principal of the high school had to step down eventually, because he got sick of the bomb threats (naturally, they were all fake—they were just planted by kids who wanted to miss school) and didn't do anything after one of them was found.

Most of them were posted in the bathroom. A bunch were just written on the wall with pencil or pen. My brother was actually suspected of making one and questioned for a while, but of course, he had nothing to do with it, and the police let him go.

[*kryogenix*]

We had two bomb threats when I was in middle school. We were evacuated to a nearby building. The principal stepped down for us as well.

[AnnahhbeL]

we never had a bomb threat.
BUT we did have fire and intruders at our school.

[5ayuri]

Not in my school. But there was this elementary that had a bomb threat. I don't know the complete story. It was around 3 years ago.

[*lolita kitty*]

We had a gun threat at my old school last year.
Some kid wrote "were gonna shoot yall 2morrow", or something stupid like that, on the bathroom walls or whatever, and the teachers freaked out and sent letters home to parents.
They called the police and they were at the school the whole day.
Yeah, nothing happened, of course.

[EddieV]

Not the school, but near my local Subway station.

[*kryogenix*]

Oh yeah, I had a friend who came to school in a kevlar vest, and they confiscated it from him and questioned him.

[*disco infiltrator*]

Yea, no bomb threats...

But there was a gun threat.

[illumineering]

In middle school we had a guy make a fake bomb and hide it. He was going to impress some girl he liked by disarming it. The only problem was that one of the janitors found it first and called the cops. The SWAT team, bomb squad and FBI all responded. Dumbass Eric started talking about it and got arrested when the cops found out he made it. They put him in handcuffs and made him walk around the whole school to humiliate him and show everyone the administration wasn't going to cut any slack to anyone.

[sprezzatura]

Good thing, never happened to my school before.

[silver-rain]

Hmm, there has never been a bomb or gun threat during the 4 years I've been in high school.

[NoSex]

Yeah. We have had a few bomb threats. One time they didn't even have us leave the building. Fantastic. Another time we had a "killing spree" kind of threat.

And then, this one time, a kid pulled out a machate and a folding tree saw and f**ked shit up. We made national headlines. Cut up 7+ students. No deaths. The kid said "God" made him do it. Our vice principal Mr. Gordon tackled his ass.

School.

[whomps]

Yeah, it was in elementary when this first grader told the school that there was a man with a gun in the bathroom. We had a Code Red Cougar or something.

[DaTru KataLYST]

ummmm there was a guy who sat in his car masturbating to students walking around in campus. (true!)

and some false fire alarms.

[*liquidize*]

Oh yeah, I had a friend who came to school in a kevlar vest, and they confiscated it from him and questioned him.

LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
like the level IIIa shit? the ballistic bullet proof vest?! DAMN LOL..if i buy one i sure as hell am wearing it to school.

[starlette]

we had a bomb threat years ago when I wa sin the 7th grade. Some one wrote "I hate it here I'm blowing this place up at 2:00 pm friday" So we evacuated the school and everything and of course it was bogus. I mean, it was written in a stall of the girls bathroom. It was kinda scary though because we were all outsideand this giant hush fell over us at like a minute till 2. It was fine. Of course then we found out that the little note had been there for over a month. So if it was serious, we should have alreay been dead. Funny stuff lol.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Oh yeah, all the time... My sister calls in bomb threats ALL THE TIME...
<-- haha im homeschooled.

Anyways, obviously that has never happened to me. but it happens alot at the school down the street.

[*danielle_x3*]

Not the school, but near my local Subway station.

same here. i remember that day lol. there are a lot of bomb threats at the local public schools of my area though .

[amm0439]

oh yeah there have been quite a couple, but it was in Middle school not high school, and they evacuated us to a nearby school...it was so dumb cuz everyone knew it was fake and some stupid kid blamed it on my one friend because she's I guess "criminal looking??" but they had to take her to the police station for interrogation and a lie detector test it was so ughhh stupid Sycamore kids...

[xscore]

we get a bomb threat just about every month.
we had to stand outside for freaking 3 hours last week. i just drove home. LOL

[duplicatex0x0x0]

My school's had it all, we have a drill for like everything every month. It gets very tedius after a while, and you think that the whole idea of it all is a waste of time, but becuase it has happened like once in the past, they feel the need to securely know where you have to go.

list of some of the bogus things my school has to do
-drill for fires
-drill for bad weather (hurricanes / tornadoes)
-drill for bomb threats
-drill for intruders
-drill for gun threats

[crazeegirl411]

We had a lot of bomb threats at one point when I was in elementary school. I wasn't really scared but yeah. But in elementary school? That would be kinda mean..

[_sarcastic_]

we have lock down for drugs, fire drills and severe weather drills that's bout it.

i don't think we ever had a bomb threat but we got let out early before because someone screwed the power supply

[Paul M. is baaac...]

Come to Belfast. NOBODY panicks when there is a bomb scare, we're so used to it. Rarely it ever even makes teletext anymore. One day it will blow, and we'll all look like idiots...

[NatiMarie]

Oh yeah, you told me this on AIM.
:[
That's horrible.
>.<

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

Ideas, ideas....


on topic: no.

[-lana]

meh, we've never had a gun/bomb threat. that sounds scary if it happened though

[Levy2k6]

we had practices for just in case.. those were fun cuz we got to get really close with each other in the classrooms.. for the intruder ones and then the evacuating ones suck..

[YourSuperior]

we had practices for just in case.. those were fun cuz we got to get really close with each other in the classrooms.. for the intruder ones and then the evacuating ones suck..

Yeah, at my school we practice sometimes too. And we just had a fire drill the other week.

[Sakuya]

No, that's never happened at my school before, so I'm actually suprised that it's happened at so many other schools.

[steezahh]

nope. never bomb`s but whatever its called when you bring a gun to school that happens a lot at my future highschool 0_0.. im scared. but otherwise.. its all good. no bombs. no threats.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Yeah...all the bomb threats we received were fake (just like in most schools).

I just love fake bomb threats..we ALWAYS get sent home........

[YourSuperior]

Yeah...all the bomb threats we received were fake (just like in most schools).

I just love fake bomb threats..we ALWAYS get sent home........

You're school is lucky to get sent home, but we don't get sent home. Well this is the first one that I have experienced so... yeah.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

^yeah cuz our principal thinks that bomb threats inside the school is probably a trap to put us in a different building that probably has the real bomb..so they send us home

[*kryogenix*]

Come to Belfast. NOBODY panicks when there is a bomb scare, we're so used to it. Rarely it ever even makes teletext anymore. One day it will blow, and we'll all look like idiots...

You're in Ireland right? I wonder how it is to deal with the IRA.

[YourSuperior]

^yeah cuz our principal thinks that bomb threats inside the school is probably a trap to put us in a different building that probably has the real bomb..so they send us home

That's very scary. That's something that only a student can think of, because they know that they'll probably move you to another building.

[Smoogrish]

We haven't had any dangerous stuff, except when someone pulled a fake fire alarm. Not even remotely dangerous.

However, the high school about three blocks away had an arsonist freshman who kept on setting fire in the girls' bathroom's trash cans.

[m.ar.i.a]

well.. bomb threat no. and not my school either.
but my brother's school... a kid brought a gun there so yeah. no one got hurt though... and i dont think he was going to use it anyway

[Levy2k6]

nothing happened here but at one of our rival schools.. some kid took a taser to school.. lol.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

That's very scary. That's something that only a student can think of, because they know that they'll probably move you to another building.

well everyone can think of a trap like that. Cuz they know which building we get sent to (its like publicly announced) so they send us home

[YourSuperior]

nothing happened here but at one of our rival schools.. some kid took a taser to school.. lol.

What's a taser?

well, that sucks. heh, that was kind of lame to impress a girl that way.

that's really scary.

it hasn't happened to me, and i hope it never will. that was stupid of the police not checking the celings.

[YourSuperior]

Come to Belfast. NOBODY panicks when there is a bomb scare, we're so used to it. Rarely it ever even makes teletext anymore. One day it will blow, and we'll all look like idiots...

What is teletext?

[klumzy]

that sucks..

back in high school, my school got a lot of bomb threats too.. if i remember correctly, this one week we got bomb threats 4 out of the 5 school days

[sweetabandon]

Who hasn't? A girl from another high school called up the police FROM A PAYPHONE IN HER SCHOOL and made the threat. While the some policemen were at our school the others were working to track her down. The next day she was caught and it was supposed to be a prank. Shes aDumbass, if you ask me. We still waited in the hot sun for four hours before they sent us home.

[Smoogrish]

^ Well, at least you didn't have to wait in the FREEZING cold like the high schoolers down the street did. Poor people.

[HolyMoly]

2 years ago we had one at the elementary. We got to go home! They figure some stupid teenagers called the elementary.

Umm, none this year but last year at the highschool there was quite a few. None accually had bombs.

[Paul M. is baaac...]

You're in Ireland right? I wonder how it is to deal with the IRA.

They've disbanded. People need to lose the Ireland image of the 70's/80's and see the today. It's just like a mini America, only dirtier and less busy.

What is teletext?

That's right, you guys don't have teletext. It's very good, you press a button on your remote and a screen comes up with the latest news. You type in the 3 digit number of the page you want to read, and it comes up.


That's a good picture.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

Oh yeah, I had a friend who came to school in a kevlar vest, and they confiscated it from him and questioned him.

Why would they confiscate a Kevlar jacket? Just cause it can stop most pistols and some SMG's doesn't meanhe's going to shoot somebody.

Also, man, thats so hardcore/cool.
I want a kevlar jacket now.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

My assumption is a lot simpler...

[Smoogrish]

Yeah.. hahah I never thought about it that way. What weirdos.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

^well it's true. if you want to kill a bunch of students, might as well not warn them.

My assumption is a lot simpler...

lol i got that off the dictionary. So it wasn't any assumption.

[*incoherent*]

how do you know they didnt check the ceilings? police officers just dont give out information about what they did and didnt do.

[xosteffanator]

Wow, I didn't think so many people got them.....
I've never had one....
The only *emergency* we had was that there was a storm...oh no we'll all die[/sarcasm]

[Smoogrish]

^ Are you SERIOUS? They made us go to school even when Hurricane Isabel came around. Stupid school board.

[YourSuperior]

Well, we thought it was over and it isn't. We had another bomb threat today, but it involved more policemen. There were 10 policemen this time, and they found some electronic stuff in the bathroom.

[*mona lisa*]

At my old high school, there were intruder alerts and several bomb threats for a while. We even had to have metal detectors in the school for at least a week. Pretty ridiculous because I didn't think the area or the school was that dangerous. It was just a bunch of hoodlums. Oh yeah, and there were a few bomb threats at my middle school. The idiots were standing on the roof of the apartment building across the street!

[M16A4]

If you really, really think about it, only morons call in bomb threats. I had one a few years ago, and the way they called it in was so stupid that we were only on the football field for about 15 minutes and I think they caught the idiots sometime after that.

First of all, real killers don't need to call in bomb threats; they just do it. Only idiots reveal their plan before they do it (like the students we have in our school, apparently).

Second, when people have called in enough threats and crap like that, it just screws it for the rest of us. Because of someone's actions, everybody else has to suffer with the increased security and the stricter policies. Seriously, if this is someone's idea to get their reputation, you need a brain.

[yukichan]

Something like that happened when I was in Elementry school..
The Department of Education got a note saying that there was a bomb in one of the schools in the district where I was. So we had a choice of going to school or not and I ended up not going to school and there was no bomb.

[short_stop08]

I was also at the school that Maestro goes to and it was really cold outside if u weren't in the sun. It's early in the morning and outta nowhere we hear a long bell ring. The teachers didn't even know what it meant; they were looking on their doors to see what that meant. Then we sit outside and walk back and forth because the people didn't know where to send us. I was ready to go home... Then just yesterday we had another one. The majority of the school is after whoever did this and it's pissing us all off. So we go back out in the cold and they tell us to go back in like 20 minutes later... This is twice in less than a week. Could they just chill out!? PLEASE.

YES! IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE! I MEAN SERIOUSLY, I felt sorry for the people that were in P.E. and that had on shorts and tank tops. I seriously believe it was some stupid freshman that has no life. Even though I've heard differently. You know, I don't believe there is really a bomb in our school, because if it was they would have blown it to smitherines by now, unless they're waiting for a specific time.

o_o

We've had bombthreats at our school, but none are ever too serious.

[YourSuperior]

WELL THIS IS OUR THIRD BOMB THREAT! This time they found an electronic device with a push button on it. But they pushed it and nothing happend. Well the first and second bomb threats made the newspapers. I guess the one that happend today will be in the newspaper tomorrow. Here's a picture from the newspaper about the second bomb threat. Click the image to enlarge.

[mylittleMiracle]

oh it sounds horrible....and terrifying..?/>

[short_stop08]

Yep we had another bomb threat yesterday. It's getting very annoying to us all. That's 3 in one week and our school is known to be the good school. We now have to sign in to go to the bathroom and sign in and out to leave the class before the block is over. And if we get caught with a cell phone we're considered a suspect and will be prosecuted. I thought it was pretty weird. Somebody in a school about an hour from us tried to make a bomb threat like one at our school and they got caught. How STUPID!! And just yesterday somebody in a school 30 minutes from us called their school and threatened them with a bomb. This is getting outta control. I wish I knew this group of people who are doing this so I could get these thousands of dollars that are being rewarded to whoever gives hints that lead to an arrest. I will just hope for now we don't have another one tomorrow or anytime in the future.

I don't remember them saying that if you have a cell phone that you're considered a suspect. What block and what teacher said this?

[emazing]

Wow, that's pretty serious right there. Someone in your school must have big issues to deal with, then.
Anywho, nothing like that has ever happened to our school before - I just recall one time when I was in 4th grade, there was this one guy/intruder, and we all thought it was just an intruder drill.

[mylittleMiracle]

well in HK...having guns is illegal but except policeman or guilds that sort of jobs.so maybe saver in HK....^^.
but good luck to youu*=]

[YourSuperior]

I brought this topic back because we recently had a bomb/gun threat at our school because someone was attempting to mock the Virginia Tech incident. Has this happened at any of your schools?

[Jeng]

This has happened to about almost every school surrounding my town
except for my town, wtf is wrong :[

BTW WHERES THIS 'SPOLIER' BUTTON THINGYER?

[YourSuperior]

^What's a spoiler button. Anyway, this has happened to the local college too. They had to be immediately evacuated and the college was closed for two whole days. They came to find out that someone planned to bomb the school, because someone found a map of all the major dorms.

[*relaxdontrelapse*]

But they pushed it and nothing happend.

riiiiiiiiiiight...they just pushed the button to see if anything would happen. "welp jim, there goes the school. didn't see that coming." yeah.

anyway, my brother's middle school has recieved two threats of a bunch of people that are going to die starting last thursday and another surfacing today. people and their attention getting plans.

[DarkImpressions]

Yupp.
Its a long story.
Some dude started sending out text messages and some how it got like around to everyone Well not everyone but to enough people that the word got spread around quickly.
It stated that he was gonna make RHS the next VA Tech becuase kids used to tease him.
He said he was going to blow the school up.
When we got to school the next day,All the students were outside and the poice men were in the school searching.
Anywho..To make a long story short it was just some kid that I guess felt like playing a prank.

[*IVIike*]

yeah that happened to my school we have about 2,000 kids and it was basically the same as the original post except the kid who wrote the note was a senior and a member of the honors society. I guess he just snapped

[YourSuperior]

^Yeah, it's usually the smart/quiet ones who snap and that tend to do things like that.

[1angel3]

Yes I've gotton bomb threats after the Vingina tech shooting, people went crazy
