February 19, 2018There’s no excuse for this.
According to this, police arrested a 15-year-old boy after he threatened to kill people at Broward County schools
Just after midnight Friday, Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives were notified about the online post from a Lauderdale teen. He posted it one day after 17 people were killed during a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
Police acted fast (thank God), and the teen tried to brush it off as a joke.
The teen told detectives that the post was just a joke aimed to scare his cousin and he appeared remorseful, according to a sheriff’s news release.
The juvenile is facing one count of sending a written threat to kill, which is a third-degree felony.
NO. This is NOT a joke. Quite honestly, if you get a high off pretending that you’re planning on killing people and freaking everyone out, I QUESTION YOUR MENTAL STABILITY.
“BSO Violent Crimes Unit detectives immediately launched an investigation into the threat, ultimately locating the suspect and taking him into custody that afternoon,” BSO said. “The teen appeared to be remorseful and claimed his post was a joke aimed at scaring his cousin.”
WTH is wrong with you?! Nothing about that is amusing.

This hasn’t been the first threat either.
In the days after the deadly shooting, several threats across the United States — including South Florida — popped up at schools.
On Thursday, Davie police announced the arrest of an 11-year-old girl, who officers say wrote a threatening not and slipped it under the assistant principal’s door . The same day, Hallandale High received threats causing an investigation.
In Miami-Dade alone, the threats jumped to about 50 in one day, Miami-Dade Schools Police Chief Ian A. Moffett told the Miami Herald following the Parkland shooting. Only one ended in an arrest.
BSO warned that anyone “found in violation of the law will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.”
If everyone could stop threatening to kill people, that would be great, thanks.
