There are legitimately stupid kids out there. (Re: school shootings)

There’s an outbreak of kids now making “fake” threats on social media about shooting up several schools. Here in eastern VA, there’s something like 12 schools that have had direct threats made towards those schools. So far, two teenagers have been arrested. Nothing yet about how many of the threats they’re responsible for.
There’s also a couple made back home in NE MS.
I’m told that it’s like this pretty much across the country. Up here, they said that they will absolutely be charged with a felony.

As long as news outlets continue to give this the amount of attention it gets, idiots will try to 1-up each other with stupidity.

We had some do the same in Southern Indiana.
Kids think they can just jump on Snapchat and that the school or authorities will never find out. Or that doing it on social media won’t result in a consequence.

When I was about 10, I lived in Germany. Back in those days, sky jackings were still a thing.
I remember seeing about 20 German police officers and 4 or 5 police dogs take out some dumb American teenager who joked about about having a bomb in his bag at the Frankfort airport.
They took him down with a lot of enthusiasm.
Kids making threats need to have a SWAT team swarm their parents house with tear gas, flash grenades, and anything else they have. If they make an example out of the first few, it will stop.

Don’t know what the law is regarding that but they should get something more than just a slap in the wrist.

I like the idea of a public caning.

24 hour unchecked sensationalized media combined with the first generation to be raised on unlimited social media is going to yield some fascinatingly terrifying results. This is the first one.

we need to make it illegal for the news to report these crimes for more than a day, and super illegal to name the shooter
that will help
The Contagion Effect

The Contagion Effect
quote:
These events don’t occur in a vacuum. While the “contagion” effect is well-documented in the case of suicides, it’s been studied less in the context of mass shootings. But as shootings become an ever more commonplace occurrence, more of us are wondering about the possibility of a ripple effect.
We’re starting to better understand the epidemiology behind this tragic trend. While the research is limited, a recent Arizona State University study found strong evidence that school shootings and other acts of mass violence are contagious.
The researchers did a statistical analysis of 176 mass shooting events in the U.S. from 2006 to 2011 and 220 school shootings between 1997 and 2013. They discovered that mass shootings were significantly more likely to occur if another shooting that received national media coverage took place in the previous 13 days — a finding that suggests that mass shootings tend to cluster together in a similar manner to suicides. This was “apparently due to the [media] coverage planting the seeds of ideation in at-risk individuals to commit similar acts,” the study said.

I remember the having a bunch called into my middle school after Columnine. Kids realize it'll get them out of class to call these in.
They need to come up with a strict punishment so kids realize they can't jokingly do this without getting in trouble.

While I don’t disagree in theory., that seems to violate 1A.

Yea, let’s make laws on what the media can and can’t cover, and how long they can cover it. Don’t see how that could go poorly. Know what, let’s just have the government be our media!
