Looked and could not find a discussion on this.  Apologies if I missed it.

Just in the last week, there has been a threat to Hill Elementary from an unmedicated schizophrenic: https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/austin-police-make-an-arrest-linked-to-austin-isd-elementary-school-threat

A kid was pulled out of class at Lamar Middle School by police for threatening gun violence (no article on this one, but I have spoken to the school principal about it personally).

Another threat to Lamar Middle school happened over the weekend, which now appears to have been middle school girls from another middle school (so hopefully not a credible threat).   

Just in case anyone mistakenly thinks this is isolated to AISD, here's just a handful of similar instances happening out in the burbs.  https://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/social-media-threat-response-school-districts-central-texas-list-of-arrests/269-ec879603-9371-45f0-8c53-c5c38edc35ab 

 

Tons of kids are being kept home today due to all this shit, although we sent ours as there doesn't seem to be any active danger.   I don't really have much to add other than I hate that kids are growing up with this as a baseline reality.  I have 12 year old twins, and it's difficult to explain to them why the adults (myself included) can't create a safe environment for them.   Getting kids motivated to go to school and put up with all the bullshit that involves (shitty teachers, boring lessons, misguided romantic entanglements, asshole bullies, etc. etc.) gets even tougher when you have to add "oh, and you might get shot and die" to the list of crappy things that come with middle school and high school life. These kids are growing up in some genuinely shitty times, but the adults haven't done a damn thing about it other than complain about how millennials and Gen Z are so dysfunctional as adults.  Well, we made them that way.

There were threats last week in Arlington. An 18 year old was just arrested after his identity was revealed to police. My two sent me multiple screenshots related to people talking about schools getting shot up in southern Dallas/Oak Cliff. I told each to share those with the school office which they did. The school said they were already aware of it. You just have to tell your kids to share that information with their school when they see it. There are anonymous options to do so, at least with Dallas ISD. Sadly, this is their world now. The school, to their credit, sent emails about the threats and reinforced they were doing what they could to make the school's safe.

Yes, it is.

You're reading that line as blaming the teachers for school shooting threats? That's not what he is saying at all.

I didn’t, you did. I pointed to the part where he blamed teachers for the shitty atmosphere at school; didn’t realize I had to clarify that.

My dude, your original post in a thread titled "Austin School Shooting Threats" said blaming the teachers was an interesting strategy. There was no context other than the title of the thread. Of course that's what it sounded like you were talking about. Why the fuck would I assume you're making a post about a literal paren-fucking-thetical?

I mean there are shitty teachers in this world. Not every teacher is a great teacher. It's a hard job especially with all the bullshit they have to deal with but if you haven't had to deal with a shitty teacher in you or your child's life then I would count yourself lucky.

This is about as moronic a response to this topic as I can think of, but okay.  No one blamed teachers for school shootings.  And if you don't realize that there are lots of shitty teachers out there, which is one of many things kids have to deal with, you live in a bubble of willful ignorance.

Montgomery county and Fort Bend last week.  Nothing come of either threat.  Apparently just fwd:fwd:fwd: text chains that got spread between thousands of kids. 

The kid rumor mill has proven to be accurate in the past. I don't think you can ever ignore those.

I don't either.  I'm only stating what the ISD's released a few days later.  There was additional police presence the first 2 days when all the local ISD's were getting threats.  I can only hope they are running down where it originates and giving the perpetrator the scare of their life.

kid lives in our hood and was friends with my boys.

He's always been trouble. He's adopted from a drug addicted mother. The parents are two of the kindest and nicest people I have ever met and have tried everything to get him on a better course. The father called and thanked me for letting my boys hang out with him as he said they are a good influence on him. More than once my son showed up home way earlier than he said he was going to but wouldn't tell us why. I finally heard from another parent that my son would leave when he couldn't convince him to not do something that would get them in trouble.

Guy with the gun is in jail. He came to the high school to pick up his girlfriend. An acquaintance of my son was in the car and has been expelled. 
 

Guy with the gun started the beef with the kid who was expelled last year for threats of violence.

Isn't it an either/or? You can't try him as an adult and also hold his parents responsible. 

I’d not care. Make an example out of all of them. 
 

I’d lightened up on the parents if it is demonstrated that they had nothing to do with gaining access to firearm and had no knowledge of their sons access to a firearm.

Well he didn't actually shoot anybody. So I'm not sure it matters as much where he got the gun.

I'd just try the kid (if he isn't an adult) and let the parents live with him being a terroristic piece of shit.

Don’t care. Had a gun on school property and did dumb shit on social media. Make an example every time.

Please don't disingenuously fuck up the conversation and quote me out of context.

You are advocating for he and his parents to both be convicted. I'm not even sure that's possible. I made the point that since no one actually got shot - where the gun came from seems less materially significant. i.e. I'm not sure why his parents should be held criminally responsible. 

Never did I advocate that this kid (who is apparently an adult) shouldn't face severe consequences. In fact I said as much in the same comment that you decided to take a quote from. He should absolutely get the book thrown at him. 

I have a little sister at Westlake. Don't try and fucking stunt on me or make me look like an ass in a thread like this when I'm attempting to have an earnest conversation.

Don't take it personal, was just a jump off point. 

I am past having any tolerance for parents of minor children that are involved in these situations. Default is "throw them in jail too." Certainly, if you can provide evidence that they don't deserve to get rung up, I am happy to accept that.Too many recent examples man. But default is now "fuck them too until proven otherwise". I say this as a man with a shit load of guns and a couple boys, so believe me I understand the implications.

No worries - I don't have any problems with you. I know that a lot of others here do. I just checked back on this thread and felt like what I was saying was being portrayed incorrectly (sorry if I was a dick about it).

We don't have to have the same stance on what the punishment should be for stuff like this. I'm eager to see more details on this specific case.

On a lighter note - my mom shared that my sister apparently let in one of the "hottest" boys in the school back in the building during the lockdown who had gotten locked out somehow. She was apparently glowing about that. 

Life goes on.
