Heads up for schools on 12/17/21
 
Just got wind of a pretty widespread social media threat to schools in Virginia and West Virginia that is spreading country wide on Tiktoc. This threat real or perceived needs to be made known. If you have kids in schools, just be aware this is out there....

From one West Virginia school district;

The West Virginia Fusion Center has made us aware of a TikTok trend pertaining to nationwide school shootings and bomb threats supposedly being planned to take place on 17 December 2021. The center reports numerous schools in the United States have been receiving threats throughout the week.

According to the West Virginia Fusion Center, at this time, there are no known threats or derogatory findings regarding this event in the state of West Virginia.

Our school district is fortunate to have a successful working relationship with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners. We are all carefully monitoring the situation together. Threats to our school community or individuals will not tolerated and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Thank you for your assistance in ensuring our schools remain safe places for our students, staff and families.”

At my High School we had Bomb Threats and Bader Meinhoff / Red Army Faction threats. F'cking Commies.

My wife works at a school in Connecticut, they had police officers come in and brief the staff on the situation yesterday so she went into panic mode. Decided to keep our son home from school today because of it so I'll be dragging him out fishing with me instead.

Coming into school this morning, saw a couple cop cars out front. Some kids I know did not attend school today.

Yes, but I don't bother keeping them. Aiden did manage to land one finally, his first ever Atlantic salmon! Followed it up with a chunky rainbow, too.

I BELIEVE SOCIAL MEDIA SITES LIKE TWITTER AND TICTOC ARE BEING ABUSED TO THE POINT WHERE THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF MANDITORY POLICING.

AND YES, I :realmad::realmad::realmad::bsod:AM YELLING!

The other issue is a story likes this comes out and all the kids start texting each other promoting conspiracies. Looks like this was just some sicko hoax but it wouldn't take much to activate a real crazy.
