All Los Angeles schools closed after bomb threat called in to board member

And to put this into perspective, LA schools I'm pretty sure do centralized food preparation, so you get a worker in there with the wrong intentions, you could have thousands upon thousands of students with poisoned food.

 

The food in the LA schools can't possibly be worse for kids than what it already is.

 

This is why saying, "You aren't going to be killed by a terrorist!" is dumb. Whether or not a terrorist group is behind it, someone directly affected millions of people. With an email.

 

Stipulating this is an act of terror ... If you commit an act of terror, aren't you by definition a terrorist?

 

Yes, you would be a terrorist.

 

One would think so, although the FBI has specific definitions:

I know it's funny, but it's actually true.

 

A student -- who would have been in class -- was walking home this morning from school when he was struck and killed by a LA city truck.

Teen killed crossing street after L.A. schools closed over threat was 'awesome student'

Given that he was only on the street because of the threat...could the maker of the threat be charged in his death?

 

On "Law & Order" definitely, in real life no.

 

No. His death was not proximately caused by the threat. It is not a "reasonably foreseeable" result of the threat.

 

yeah, nevermind.

Threat that closed down L.A. schools appears to be a hoax, congressman says

 

Assuming they had three extra hours than New York to determine the veracity of the threat, it's pretty wild that New York was able to see it as a hoax, and LA couldn't.
