LA Schools Closed - Terrorist Threat (holidays, Missouri, terrorism, 2015)

[middle-aged mom]

Press conference in progress.

Credible threat against multiple schools.

No link, yet.

Reportedly, an explicit email was sent to a school board member.

Very few threats turn out to be real but school officials are obligated to act.

Remember all those disposable purchased phones in Missouri? Not traceable. Expect a lot more of this to happen up to, including, and after the holidays...

Reports saying that one of the board members received the threat via a phone call.

In any case, this is nuts.

Linked to the mass purchase of disposable cell phones in Missouri? Communication sent via one of those phones? If so, expect a lot more of this up to, including, and after the holidays.

That's an interesting theory.

Honestly, I cannot believe that the entire school district has been shut down. What the hell kind of world are we living in now?

Schools are increasingly vulnerable to threats of terrorism and mass shootings.

Most are eventually deemed to be hoaxes or unfounded.

This may sound stupid to all of you, and I won't blame you for laughing at me. I am secretly searching for bullet proof vests for my three baby nephews and my God son.

yeah, call me paranoid, better safe than sorry.

Threats are received all the time.

My own school district received one not too long ago - and no schools were closed.

I would think there is A LOT more to this that is yet to be divulged.

Credible Terrorist Threat

That's a designation that isn't given to random crank threats.
