The Daily Wire ^

On Tuesday, the Superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District announced that all schools would be shut down today due to an unspecified terror threat. According to ABC News, that threat also carries “unknown credibility.” Bus drivers say they have been returned to their bus depots. LAUSD is the nation’s second-largest school district, with 640,000 students and 900 schools; children range from kindergarten to 12th grade.

If You See Something, Say Muslim

[VerySadAmerican]

Our government can’t find it’s butt because it ain’t feeling for it.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Lots of parents have to leave work too.

[ctdonath2]

How do you know this is caused by “an unverified twitter post, email, etc”?

Is there nothing which you would consider a viable actionable threat worth shutting the schools for? See post #69, read it, then get back to us.

Fear often makes people talk and act brave when there is no threat to themselves.

[VerySadAmerican]

Maybe this will increase home schooling.

They’ll probably say it was a threat AGAINST muslim students.

[PROCON]

Can you imagine, if George W. Bush was President, the Media scrambling to the white house to DEMAND how he could let this happen?

With 0bama?......*crickets*

I’ve just started his One Year After book...I’m already rethinking our...er...planning

For non Californicators, Californicator public schools will be off for 3 weeks after Friday.

This allows all the illegals to take their illegal kids out of school and go back to Mexico for their holidays.

Many will probably just head to Mexico early this week, and their kids will miss school and go with them.

This will cost the LA school district mega $’s in lost fed funds for each day, the 640,000 kids are absent.

Los Angeles Unified School District.

No, not phone call.

Electronic message - E-MAIL, to be exact.

Reporter on FoxNews specifically said a phone call to a school board member is what triggered this.

McCallum did repeat that the threat (email or phone call not specified) did contain a specific location and time and that is why they consider it credible.

I suppose the phone call could have been in the form of a text message or email to a smartphone.

Hemmer just said they do not know the exact format/transmission of the threat -- but it was electronic.

Tomorrow news; “Donald Trump gains 5 points in California. Would beat Hillary by 15 points.”

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I doubt Obama wanted this kind of news — opposite his agenda. He’s looking more like an idiot every hour.

[VerySadAmerican]

They may be concerned because they just realized they have muslim county health inspectors scheduled today to inspect all of the school’s cafeterias.

[TomGuy]

The ‘specificity’ of the message seems to be what initiated the concern.

[Rebelbase]

Give in to fear. I prefer the middle finger and live life with risk.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“Yes, it IS serious - when hundreds of thousands of people can be impacted on any given day at any given time.”

Absolutely. And for that many to be sent home, this might actually be a real threat?

[Candor7]

It was a white neo nazi supremacist some say, but the real culprits are the Amish!Thats why the threat is unspecified, wouldn’t want people to think that any Muslims were involved./S

Blackmail?

Wait, wait, why are they switching to exclusively halal food in the school cafeterias?/S

[dragnet2]

Hundreds of thousands will be missing work in Los Angeles today..

It’s an absolute disaster in LA.

[holden]

Sure this is huge... hugely disruptive!

A developed, civil society as we’ve enjoyed for many decades is incompatible with the kind of terrorism that has faced so many other countries in that time. To appease and not root out terrorism is to live in this kind of world where bombs and bullets splatter dozens of innocents and a phone call can change millions of people’s lives.

Terrorists can easily postpone their plans. Tomorrow is another day that may also be used to disrupt the lives of millions.

Remember the horror we felt at hearing the news of Beslan! Terrorist targets here could affect many thousands at once, not just hundreds.

Our chosen vulnerability must be ended!
