Piemanlives:
My high school had a bomb threat today. Seriously why even do this.
Morblitz:
Bomb threats are common.
My school always had a bomb threat whenever someone in the school reaaaaally didn't want to do something.
Was like a fortnightly thing.
Of course it's something to take seriously, but yeah.
Lord Dick Tim:
It's really sad when an angry individual chooses to make a poor decision, especially a knee jerk reaction like calling in a threat of such magnitude. It perpetuates a sense of fear in a population that are increasingly more likely to take drastic measures against a perpetrator who is clearly in need of mental health attention.
As a weapon of fear and death we must abhore the act and create strict punitive actions against its use, yet always balanced with the moral integrity and strength of character to not drastically compromise our liberties or way of life due to the terrible actions of the few, or the loud protest of the extremist retaliation.
Charon:
Indeed. We can't seek to "weed out" the instruments with which extremists cause destruction, as it is the very nature of extremists to enact undue change. We must instead seek a return to traditional values, in which we punish the individual for the individual's actions. The notion that society is at fault for the actions of one man is ludicrous, and leads to the destruction of liberty.
