I didn't excuse the behavior if you read my post.....
Noisemakers aren't lethal devices anymore than most class c fireworks are......
They are shutting down and evacuating schools now when they find a firecracker in some kid's locker. Bomb squad disposal for a "Blackcat"
My comment is related to the level of response by local law enforcement. Everything is over dramaticized for the "public's safety".
NeverGore :^)
Scrubbing a few public restrooms at highway stops and picking up trash at the park may cut down on the bomb threats and fun with noise makers..
I realize there is an overreaction to some of these "threats"..
We live in interesting times..Mistakes are made..I just hope the attention getters get some more productive ways to get attention.
