Title: Something serious...at my school
Post by: Ace of Spades on April 19, 2005, 12:02:30 AM

The words at the bottom of my sig have meaning. I'm involved in a very serious situation right now. Yesterday, an anonymous caller called the school safe line (sounded like it was a parent, who was frightened) and warned that sometime this week, a Columbine situation will occur at our school. A bluff? You'd think so, but personally, I think there's more to it. The school knows more, I just know it. Police are everywhere in the building, K-9 units, we're not allowed to go ANYWHERE during class (direct quote from a teacher of mine:  

Quote

If you have to use the restroom, you'll have to do it in your pants.

) they lock the doors from the inside, and today at 9th period, an announcement was made about this. It's not a simple rumor that's going around, it's real. Wednesday is the anniversery of Columbine, so the school thinks that whoever will do this will do it then. My parents don't want me going to school that day, or even at all this week. That's how serious this is. I never thought that something like this would come to my school, but it has, and I feel sick. It was really hard going through today, knowing that in any moment, the worst could happen. Going to a small horror film isn't fear. This is fear. Fear is not fun, it really is not. At least there's a warning, and I pray that it is a joke. If this is a joke, the person making it should be put away. Our school is petrified...some don't show it, but you can tell. Why am I posting this? I don't know...I guess I just want you guys to wish me good luck in this terrible situation, and also, give you a heads up as to why I might act VERY differently for a while. Even at home I tremble...that's how bad this is...So if you hear about a school shooting in the next couple of days...you'll know that one of your charas members was involved. This isn't funny. Anybody who laughs at this has no heart. I am NOT joking to get attention. This is real, and I'm petrified. Anyway...just telling you why I might not be as happy and excited about things like I used to be...

Well, I used to go to Columbine and I pray to god it won't happen again. But it is nearing April 20.

Damn.....That is bad. I hope it is a bluff. Also, where do you live?

Post by: MSlash67 on April 19, 2005, 12:15:39 AM

I'm sure what's happening at my school and the one across town isn't as bad as what's going on at your school Ace but, here's my story:

Last month(bout the last week of last month) My school got a Bomb threat....Evacuate school wait until search is over, always a hoax, go back to school. About 25 mins later the principle gets on the PA and says if you walked to school, leave now. If you drove to school, leave now. I was like...you gotta be kidding me. Another threat. so we all got sent home.(this the 3rd one this year). 2 days later a school across town gets a bomb threat. same thing, evacuated, the search, they go back to class. but then for the next 5days, they got bomb threats so now their school was put on lock down, this is similar to what's happening at your school Ace. It's been on lock down since last month.

My thoughts and feelings twoard these events: ****, we are screwed :(

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on April 19, 2005, 12:17:35 AM

Yeah that really sucks. Most of the time when theres a serious threat, the school will call the day off. I know a few times when our school had bomb threats, and even though it was a bluff, our school had enough sence to close for the day, hopefully your school will do the same.

Anyway, I hope everything goes alright and that this problem goes away very soon.

Post by: oooog on April 19, 2005, 12:25:50 AM

Seriously, what is wrong with people these days.  It's one thing as a serious concern to give warning, but if it's a joke (which I'm really hopeing for ya at this point) the person who started it should get a couple bricks thrown at them or something.  Even so man, at this point, if this kinda stuff gets too threatening, I might suggest perhaps a transfer to a new school or something.  My opnion anyway, take no note of this if you don't agree.

Best wishes man.

Title:
Post by: Ace of Spades on April 19, 2005, 12:32:03 AM

Well, the sad part is, if they close the school, that means that kid won't have to go either, and so, he/she could just do it the day we go back...but this is the first time anything like this has ever happened. And for safety reasons, though, I'm not going to tell you where I live, and also, if anybody does know where I live, don't say. Thanks for the faith guys, it always helps.

Title:
Post by: FFL2and3rocks on April 19, 2005, 12:42:35 AM

Holy crap, dude...

I hope it's a hoax. And I really hope they catch the guy.

I wonder what the punishment is where you live for calling in fake threats?

Title:
Post by: Ace of Spades on April 19, 2005, 12:46:56 AM

Bringing in K-9 units and locking down the school. Probably jail. Juvinile hall, maybe. I don't know. Honestly though, I don't think it's a hoax...

Title:
Post by: MSlash67 on April 19, 2005, 12:49:55 AM

I know for the punishment in my area(cuz the one kid got caught in february) is you are fined $30,000 or more. This is a federal offense so FBI is involved. you are permanantly expelled from the school and there is a court hearing, probably more fines, it goes on your Criminal record..I hope this explains somewhat but I don't know other states laws and I won't know what the punishment is for Ace's area cuz he won't tell where he is, with good reasoning too.

Title:
Post by: Linkforce on April 19, 2005, 12:50:13 AM

damn... that really sux... im getting shivers right now.  because last week, a kid was arrested for having a gun in possesion and also he brought his stun gun to school.  and on top of that, he had a hit list... im sure that its nothing... the best thing you can do is be brave.  its ppl. like this that make other ppl. scared for fun.  im not saying you should think its nothing, just watch your back... and if you sense anything thats not right, get help.....good luck man... i feel for you.....

Title:
Post by: Omegadestroyer7 on April 19, 2005, 12:54:39 AM

i think we should try these people as adults so an example will be made and less kids would do this, it is crap, and i know kids who i wouldnt be the least bit surprised if they brought guns to my school, not that they are crazy, they are just really (expletive deleted) up

Title:
Post by: Almeidaboo on April 19, 2005, 12:55:16 AM

Ace, i´m deeply sorry for you dude...for real. I dunno what this situation means! I've never been through something like this, and i´ll probably never will...cuz, I can´t get it! Brazil´s taken for an poor, 3rd world country...But here we don´t suffer from violence like this, in schools! What the hell is going on for God sakes! This' just absurd! How retarded a kid has to be to shoot a bunch of ppl in school? Oh c'mon, even in a 3rd world country, with high income-concentration (dunno if this' the right term in english) ppl don´t go shooting others at school!

Post by: Saintsword on April 19, 2005, 01:08:20 AM

and thats y im glad to live in Canada, one of the safest places in the world,. we're not on the edge of any techonic plates, everybody loves us and we're 2 damn lazy to blow anything\anybody up. Except for Toronto.... but its propably just a hoax by some crack addict so that he can get some days off... just dont go to school, get a friend to get ur homework and play games all day hoping for the best.
I blame this on america and technogly. America because now it taught people to hate 1 another and technogly because with it we cant make boombs. like think of 20 years ago ro 50 whatnot, the worst they could do was throw a log through the window and laugh. just don't worry the worlds fulkl of retards who like bombs.

hope its just a hoax....

Title:
Post by: Rune_of_Punishment on April 19, 2005, 01:30:15 AM

I'm one who would not be afraid of a situation like this. Maybe it's because I'm prepared to die at any time, I'm not afraid of death, or it's something that happens and you can't really stop it the second it does happen.

I understand your fear though. Don't cave in to your fear. Even if you are in shock, face it with a level head. People who threaten live off of other people's fears, making things like this happen more frequently. Why? Because they notice that they have people wrapped around their fingers when they make a threat and people become afraid. I know it may seem like a hard thing to do, believe me it is, but just try to not present fear and make sure you tell your friends this as well. I've had several threats against my school. Many people were scared, but I just sat calmly, knowing nothing was going to happen, and if it did, then I would do whatever it took to kill the bastards. So, just be careful Ace. Keep an eye on shady people, or anyone as a matter of fact.

Title:
Post by: WarxePB on April 19, 2005, 01:38:35 AM

The saddest thing is that people like this may one day be world leaders...

If I were in your situation, Ace, I would refuse to go to school. I wouldn't care if I failed any classes; having to repeat a grade isn't as bad as losing your life. And I sincerely hope that this is just a hoax; God knows our world is violent enough already.

Title:
Post by: Tomi on April 19, 2005, 02:00:23 AM

Ehh... That stinks.  Who in their right mind would warn a school that they would be bombing it.  If I were you, don't go to school the week that its supposed to happen.  Good luck to you man.  I really hope its a bluff...

Title:
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on April 19, 2005, 02:08:10 AM

Take it from someone who knows, if they were truly gonna carry this out, they wouldn't warn the school of their actions. Unless, however, the person told (or most likely bragged) to someone what was they were gonna do, and this person called in. But you know, some people are just way too uptight. I mean, they find instructions on how to make bombs in your bookbag and they'll suspend you all year! "Weapons should be the last thing on your mind when you some to school!" Hell, what if you want to be a tactical weapons designer for the army and help america out? Aren't the schools supposed to help you achive your goals? But I digress. Personally, if I were you, I'd go to school, but that's because I'd probably be close friends with the person who decided to stage this. Good luck, hope you don't die!

I don't see the point of skipping school. You'll just have to make up the work without a grasp of what was taught.

I want you to think about this RoP:
Lose a day or 2 of learning in school Vs.  lose your Life

 You can make up school work and learn what you missed but you only get one life.

Ace, make the right decision.it is your life, you are the only one who controls your life. You were given the free will to do so. Sure don't be scared of the threats to your school, but don't be a friggen dumbass and go to school when your gut tells you no.

Post by: Rune_of_Punishment on April 19, 2005, 02:57:57 AM

Actually MSlash, I was commenting on what OmegaDestroyer said. Sorry if it sounded like I meant something else. What I meant was, I don't see the point of making threats to skip school... they'll have to make it up anyway, or go to jail or some crap like that.

Me, personally, would still go to school. I would just be wary and watchful, to watch for any suspicious activity. Call me suicidal if you want, but that's what I would do. But don't go to school if you don't feel safe.

Title:
Post by: Omegadestroyer7 on April 19, 2005, 03:16:59 AM

rune, i know what you are saying, but i still only skip on "review days" where we do nothing and would learn more sitting in front of a TV blowing the crap out of each other in timesplitters, if your school is like mine, sometimes a day in class is just the teacher on a computer while kids are talking about whatever. and we have block schedule, 4 hour and a half classes a day, when a teacher gets lazy nothing happens.

oh and ace, your life is more important than some pyro freaks that are out of hand, skip school.

no life deserves to be unjustly taken...

It's not like America's a bad place to live. The problem is is that people take democracy and what freedoms they have to extremes, especially when they feel antagonized or threatened or whatever by other people. It's like the kids from Columbine.

Post by: RuneBlade on April 19, 2005, 12:22:15 PM

Im swedish, can anyone explain what a columbine thing is?

It seems to be something very bad though, so ill just give you the same advice as I think would suit this situation, skip school.

RuneBlade: Columbiune High School Massacre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre)

this is one of the reasons why I dont live iin america. ...jus prey to God that everything turns out well in the end.

 Don't go to school, in this whole month, thats all I can say. Life is not something I would risk for a few notes on the end of the year.
 It is only in your school this happens? There aren't rumors about this in any other schools?

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on April 19, 2005, 04:46:40 PM

I say if you feel like there's a danger, don't go. Nobody can stop you.

I've never really had a gun/bomb thing at my school, but that's 'cos I'm in the UK, I think. A while ago, a guy I knew took a knife into school and threatened to stab one of my friends. Cleverly, he told everyone about it. And got caught.

You know, it makes me wonder what's gonna happen to the human race next. If creeps like that can go around doing all this stuff, it's a wonder we're getting anywhere.

Anyways Ace, I sure hope it's a hoax. Good luck.

Yup. The only thing my school's ever closed down for was once when there was really bad ice on the ground and it was slippery. Boring, but so much less life threatening.

I really hope this is a hoax, man.

Post by: Ace of Spades on April 19, 2005, 07:18:31 PM

Well, I didn't go to school today. Nothing happened, thankfully, but I guess the school is really taking this seriously. Tomorrow, if you don't go to school, it's not counted against you. You get what's called a "validated abscence" and the only ways usually that you can get these, are if you are hospitalized. Apparently, this isn't a hoax. But I don't know..What I do know, is that I'm not going to school tomorrow. Some of my friends say that people still are O_o. Also, they say that teachers don't really have a "curriculum" for tomorrow. I only hope for the best. It's not only I who I'm concerned about, it's others too. Thanks for the responses guys, most of them helped.

OKay, I love how we do exactly what people want. By remembering columbine we do exactly what those farts wanted. we remember. And you know what, I'm not going to take part in doing what they wanted, instead I will not think on it at all, forget it, and forget them,  if they knew that was going to happen, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. I'm sick of empty threats and cheap talk. If I were to shoot up a school, I wouldn't tell a soul, I'd go in without warning and mow everyone down. But kids are stupid. So I will not touch on the subject any longer. School shootings...bah, how weak, how easy, I'd like them to waltz into a police station and try shooting that up. ^_^

We remember because we don't want the lives of those killed in school shootings to be in vain. We do remember the killers too, I agree with you on that point, but if we also remember the victims, and try to prevent more like them, then their lives were not wasted.
Seriously, Carmen, if you knew that there was going to be a shooting at wherever you're going to (school, work, wherever), would you arrogantly and ignorantly march to your death? And would you want people to just forget you after you died?

well....if I knew there was gonna be a shooting, i would still go to school. the kid wouldent be stupid enough to announce it if he was gonna do it. and if he does oh well thats on me. if i get shot thats on me.

well....good luck man.

Post by: SnakeIzeGambit on April 19, 2005, 09:31:34 PM

if u guys read more carefully u would see that it was an anonymous caller that sounded like a frightened adult. That means it posbile that its not a hoax cuz they didnt necessarily warn the school themselves(if it was indeed an adult).

My thoughts on this is that they were hoping to get a free day from this for 4/20, National Pot Day.

I wish you luck however, Ace Of Spades

To those who say that this only happens in America and you are glad you don't live here, get your heads out of your asses. Sorry to say, but things like this can happen anywhere. You all make America sound bad, when it's really not. I hate it when people look at the bad and think that that is what the country is like, but that's the simple and easy way to think about things.

And I don't see why people are so afraid of dying. Death is inevitable, you will die in the future anyway, so what's the point in fearing it? Are you afraid of going to Hell? Are you afraid that you won't have repented for any sins? Well, I've got news for you. If you have lived an honest life, then you should have nothing to worry about. Seriously, no one is perfect and we were never intended to be. Death is something that happens, but hardly anyone cares when someone else dies. But when death begins to stare you in the face, you get clammy, hoping that you aren't a victim, but you feel relieved when you don't die. It's selfish and cowardly to not wish death upon yourself over other people.

Sorry, I'm just irritated.

Title:
Post by: artoni on April 19, 2005, 10:13:45 PM

C'est la vi.

I don't want to turn this into a whole life/death argument, so I'll simply say that I agree with some of the things Rune has said, and disagree with some of the others. In fact, that goes for about everyone. But that's what makes things great, eh?

Ace; like most if not everyone else here, I also hope that it is a hoax. I also hope that they find whoever has the balls to do this and that justice is served. Peace out, man.

Past experience is the greatest teacher. By just ignoring the past, you gain nothing, except maybe even more misfortune. A simple modern example: A jewely shop most likely won't hire someone to work for them if they have a few burglarys of jewely shops and identity thefts on their criminal record.

I'm afraid of dying because I'd like to live my life for a long time. and when I'm old, I'm probably still going to be afraid of dying. You can't say that you aren't afraid of everything you know, EVERYTHING ending. It doesn't mean you are weak, it means you are human.

Well school officials can take more security, but talking about it on an rpg maker forum...comon. get me here? And heads up here guys, those guys did die in vain, set aside that security got beefed up.  If people didn't shoot, they wouldn't need to beef it up, thus, they didn't really solve a problem, just created one. So yeah.  And a school where children learn is alittle bit different form a shop where valuables are sold. People rob to get money, people shoot up schools to get remembered, and as public society we still judge them, keeping their memories alive, and that goth bull,  So you kids stay happy. Cuase I'm just getting started

I know there is **** everywhere. The majority of school shooting are in America tho, due to its nations freedom. Too much reedom is a bad thing I belive. Guns... I like em.. but I hate em.

is it ture you can own a gun in amarica? like with a licence or whatever, i think thats the problem, really, in England you cant just go into a shop and get a gun, and if you could i think you would hear about this thing more often, and stuff.....ugh, im too tyred to right more

BUT, i will say i agree with carmen a bit, we shouldent be talking about it here, we should just increase secuity, and talk about it with our close friends and stuff, but if everyone makes too big a think about it its stupid, ugh,


well thats my crappy attempt at doing something on the computer, i am so sleepy

Title:
Post by: Osmose on April 20, 2005, 11:29:57 AM

In the US you have to go through a bunch of checks before you can legally own a gun, but there ARE states where you can buy a gun with nothing but a driver's license(and the right age).

Or, even easier, just get one illegally.

But when death begins to stare you in the face, you get clammy, hoping that you aren't a victim, but you feel relieved when you don't die. It's selfish and cowardly to not wish death upon yourself over other people.

Its not a matter of dying, it's a matter of dying without seeing/doing all
the things you wanted to. And I'm damn sure that if someone puts a gun to your face you would be praying for YOUR life. Just like you said, no one is perfect so dont act like you are.

Well, they caught him. *big sigh of relief* It was just on the news. Luckily nobody was harmed, and also, he never got to take action. They caught him before anything happened, which was best case scenario. No, it wasn't a hoax. (obviously) The 18 year old is being held in jail with $50,000 bail. That's all they said on the news, so I don't know about charges and what-not. I'm just glad that he's caught, and I can go back to school safely. Well, thanks for the faith everyone. I can smile again! :D

Post by: Ace of Spades on April 21, 2005, 07:06:08 PM

...There's more than just him. One of my teachers told us that there's 9 to 12 more people, and they still haven't been found. My gut is once again telling me that I shouldn't go to school tomorrow. His plan was to "get" everybody as school let out and people were walking out in mass groups. Now, since the other people haven't been found yet, they could still pull this off, and be even angrier because their "leader" was caught. Or, they could do their other plan. Get someone to pull the fire alarm (whether it be by just someone pulling it, or actually starting a fire so that someone will pull it. The scary thing is, last week a fire was started in the boy's bathroom. Luckily, it got put out right away, so nothing happened.). But, anyway, if they do try something, I'm guessing it'll be when school is letting out, because they don't have to go through as much trouble. Can you think of how many people would be killed if they succeeded in pulling this off? All I know, is I don't want to go to school tomorrow. Frankly, I don't want to go until every one of them is caught and put in jail, so hopefully they'll be caught soon. So, just continue to have faith, and hopefully, this situation can FINALLY end without anybody being harmed.

If I were you, I wouldn't walk in groups. People need to disperse, to reduce casualties. If someone brings an AK-47, then a group is screwed because those bullets are going to cut through more than one person. So, try to get people to spread out. While it does leave you open as an easy target, the shooters won't be able to kill everyone.

And that's why I'm not going to school tomorrow. Even if at the end of the day tomorrow, nothing happened, as I've always said, one of my mottos is "Better safe than sorry." Even though my parents kind of want me going to school tomorrow, they still seemed concerned when I told them about the other "members" of the group. So hopefully, there won't be any fuss over "Grr...go to school!" Heh, but there really never is. I've had a couple days where I just didn't feel like going to school and they didn't have a problem with it. Mainly because I do good in school. :p Anyway, Warxe is right in that the safest place right now is home, because the safety precautions of my school (including cops swarming the building AND the forest around us) has gone down drastically. So I'm going to stay home again, and hopefully the jerks will be caught over the weekend...

It's not a big enough situation. Just put it this way. The news report that was on the..news yesterday was only about 45 seconds long. Also, their hiding a lot of information about this, but the teachers know it too, and one of my teachers told us that their are still more people out there, and that's why there's a few cops around the building. And when I say, a few, I mean a few. There aint that many, but I'll check to see if there's anything on the net, and I'll give you the url via PM Razor.

wow, this is some seriously chilling stuff man. I feel so very sorry for you, and angry that someone, no matter WHAT their reason is, would want to scare ppl into feeling like this and then possibly kill them. It's not right, this is one example of the many things George Bush COULD be focusing on, but is otherwise, turning the other cheek until he hears something blow up.

Goodluck Ace, I wish you the best and the only advice I can think to give you is to stay smart the next few days, be on the outluck and keeping one eye open.

I hope that this will end up being nothing, for your sake. :(

Something like Columbine happened in Argentina some months ago, and it was a tragedy.
I'm sure nothing will happen, since there are cops, like you say, so, do as drenrin told ya. I hope nothing happens and I wish the best for ya.

P.D.: I agree with drenrin about Bush too. I'm telling you this from another country: GREAT MISTAKE TO REELECT HIM.

Wait, are you in South California? Cause the other day I heard about this kinda thing on the news. But here's some advice: if you see some dude in a trenchcoat, run like hell.  That's how the Columbine guys mangaged to get guns into the school.

No offense, but that is the most retarted thing I have ever heard in my life. This kind of thing is not the presidents job to handle. Not to mention, that the initial colombine incident, happened under clintons administration, so I could say, it's his fault that there are so many copy cats, because he didn't stop it in the first place... But I wont say that, because I don't use every bad thing that happens in America as a way to insult it's current president.

Anyway, in regards to this actual post. It is bad that there are people left. It is bad that they were planning this in the first place. But, you can't live in fear for your life every day. I'm not saying it's bad to fear death, cause it's not, fearing death means you love life. What I'm saying is, you can't let fear consume you, you have to face it head on... if you don't want to die, than just take extra precautions at school. For instance, don't rush outside right away, wait a few minutes for the people leaving to clear out.

Try not to let Fear get the best of you, I'm sure you and your school will make it through this just fine.

sorry for the rude opening, morons like Drenrin just tick me off...

You all make America sound bad, when it's really not. I hate it when people look at the bad and think that that is what the country is like, but that's the simple and easy way to think about things.

And I don't see why people are so afraid of dying. Death is inevitable, you will die in the future anyway, so what's the point in fearing it? Are you afraid of going to Hell? Are you afraid that you won't have repented for any sins? Well, I've got news for you. If you have lived an honest life, then you should have nothing to worry about.

Sorry, I'm just irritated.

Hmm. Well you never hear of shootings over here, that's for sure. And Why are you so happy to die? Especially since you don't know whether there's anything after death. And I doubt there is.

Ace, I'm sorry to hear about the other members. I would give advice but It's all been given.

That's a shame... I'm studying journalism and I feel ashamed, how could they not put this as something important?! It's a matter that concerns not only the U.S. but the entire world. I don't know if you heard of Carmen de Patagones in Argentina, but it's something that's pretty common this years. Although I don't know if anything will happen with the police around, so do as Glitch says and don't let fear overcome you. Good luck amigo.

 Meh, I said it!
 And they still say they want to celebrate Columbine? In the Columbine was a lot worse, only 2 guys made all that... In you case, its 9-14 guys... I bet this one who was arrested and the others must be really close friends... Well, good luck.
