re: I can excuse one teenager as an idiot, but now dozens are tweeting bomb threats

Dumbest shite ever. Threatening someone/something is not a part of freedom of speech. While I do think something should happen to these kids to make a point, I would not go as far as arresting them and throwing them in jail. The point needs to get made that making funny threats are not jokes and they will be taken seriously

Sorry, but thats not even close to the same thing.

Adults need to act like adults.
Adults need to start raising their kids not not be dumb shits. What the girl did by tweeting that she was a terrorist is not only wrong, but dangerous, and the authorities had to treat it as such. What all these dumbshit kids are doing now, tweeting "This airplane is the BOMB", is not only stupid, but shows the complete lack of awareness that kids have of the real world. You aren't defending someone from some perceived wrong there. You are perpetuating ignorance. Adults, ie these kids parents, should be teaching them the difference between the two things.
The problem is, adults are responsible for stupid shite like suspensions for pop tart guns, or expelling students for being DD's, or any other host of common sense lacking news stories from the past few years. How could we now expect these people to impart any semblance of common sense on teenagers right now?

Seriously how many times has a tweeted bomb threat been real?
If someone wants to get a threat across, they aren't going to be ambiguous about it. We need to stop giving weight to non-credible things that people say or do. It's silly, time-wasting efforts of "crying wolf"

If a 8 year old says he's going to blow something up, should we throw him under the jail?
Any 8 year old I am responsible for doesn't have access to the internet. CAN an 8 year-old drive? Yep. Why don't they more often? As to social media and computer access in general, parents/guardians need to be better parents guardians.

Maybe not, but an 8 year old can say "bomb" in an airport, and according to half the people in this thread, the kid should be made an example of.
Its sad really.

I bet you are the type of person that when a school shooting happens you say "that poor misunderstood child warned of this but the adults didn't do anything!!!!!!"
Not at all. I'm the type of person that recognizes a tragedy for a tragedy, but doesn't think that being reactive and expelling kids for making guns with their fingers or drawing pictures of people with guns does anything to alleviate the problem.

Holy overreactive low blow batman!
And that's not what I was saying, it's more about changing dynamics and gov't response. It's about the stupidity of lumping all "threats" in the same bowl without regard to common sense.

That's pretty funny though.

They're teenagers. Are you really surprised many of them would do something like this? By their nature they are inherently stupid. Join a group of them together and their collective stupidity serves to make each individual in that group even more stupid.

Just because they are teenagers shouldn't exclude them from punishment.

Credible is such a subjective word.

Fair enough. But when little white girls start building bombs, then maybe we get all worked up over bad jokes.

Start waterboarding the parents and make the kids watch.

Oh don't get me wrong, I believe they should be punished for their actions. I was just pointing out that teens are naturally stupid so stupid actions like this on their part should come as no surprise.

We've got (had) Bin Laden to thank for all this hysteria.

I think you mean the federal gov't. Which created Bin Laden.
Familiar with who armed the Taliban? Ever heard of the mujahideen?
