All Los Angeles schools and it's subsidiaries have been closed today and maybe longer due to multiple "credible" terrorists threats. Just reported on Fox. All 900 Schools are being searched. They also said not to let children walk to school.. May be nothing though..

While on the one hand I love that Americans are seeing through the BS and buying more guns, it slightly annoys me because I had planned to pick up 4 more guns this spring. Here's hoping there isn't a mad rush that eats up supply before the fall when buying will really start ramping up.

Apparently someone phoned in the threat to a board member. I am inclined to think anyone who actually wanted to inflict mass casualties would not give a heads up.

They are saying the threats came via email. That should make it pretty easy to track back to the source. Perpetrator doesnt sound too bright..:cool:

Maybe not, but I'm kinda leaning toward some teen doing this, who is about to get in a whole lotta trouble..

Hell, even back in the 60's we had an occasional bomb threat. No one went home though.

CNN is reporting:

An "electronic threat" received early Tuesday prompted the decision, school district police Chief Steve Zipperman said, adding that the threat "is still being analyzed."

District superintendent Ramon Cortines explained the "message" referred to backpacks and "other packages." He said many schools were threatened, though none by name. The threat was toward students in schools (as opposed to on buses).

So probably an email or emails sent, not just one call or calls made by a student/s.

Every School in the district is being searched. 640 thousand students affected.

Interesting to note the response that stuff like this gets whenever a terror event is fresh in people's minds.

This is basically a daily occurrence in LAUSD. But since it is weeks after SB and Paris, people are shaking in their boots that it is "ISIS."

Someone (or teams of terrorists) wanting to actually hurt people would not give forewarning unless it was a diversion to get LE focused on something else or to draw them into one place.

You're probably right. But it's also helpful to remember that, at least based on past evidence, a good portion of these folks are rank amateurs - or even just straight-up retards.

As much as I'd want to say "the threat is BS" if in the unlikely event the threat was legitimate, whomever ignored it would later be grilled and possibly even sued personally. For better or for worse, it's safer for the people responsible to take them all seriously.
