Been a number of false calls last week. Let’s hope this is too.

If this is the real deal then there won’t be a football game tomorrow. Which will mark two games in a row being postponed or canceled due to terrorism. I hope noone has been killed.

GOOD. That’s fricked up though

We know it is a hoax because no one ever darkens the doors of our library.

I looked this up and WTF is going on? It would almost seem that someone is trying to draw people into complacency.
On Monday alone, law enforcement responded to calls claiming active shooters at Arkansas, Northern Arizona University, Iowa State, Kansas State, the University of Colorado-Boulder and the University of New Hampshire. More calls were made Tuesday at the University of Kentucky and West Virginia University.
In Georgia, Central Georgia Technical College and Rutland High School were advised to shelter in place following active shooter reports. On Wednesday, Mercer College's Macon campus became one of the latest victims of the false reports

I know copy cat killers/shooters are think I wonder how often the police get fake shooting reports after one of these massacres

Track them down, deport them regardless of citizenship.

There were a number of bomb threats in our county in SC at HS’s last year and it was determined to be foreign actors. Who knows why they do it.

This is too many in a single day for this to not be organized. Hopefully it's not an intel gathering effort to setup an actual event soon.

Also, could be part of a bigger mind frick.

Way more likely that it's just a small group of Pop Tart eater computer nerds in eastern Europe.
