Now the terrorism can flow freely

[DeanfromOregon]

Since everyone is totally freaked out now in So Cal, a "credible threat" can be emailed in from overseas and the entire school district (the largest in the nation) shuts down.

If the DHS is Monitoring the situation I pity anyone in LA that is seen carrying a Bible or wears an NRA or GOA hat!!!!!!

Shutting down government schools does not sound like a drawback to me.

I'm not sure what a credible threat is?
But I suspect the terror part of terrorism is working!

Terror that stopping more deaths is beyond there control. If they don't drop there Liberal nonsense.

How many more kids can be herded into there shooting galleries and shot to death. Before people really notice how poorly ''Gun Free Zones'' work?

They can't have there inability to protect pointed out much more! People are already figuring it out. And buying guns to protect there families.

Who knows? These same people may demand there kid's be protected with armed guards?

Ask yourself. Are they being cautions to save there children. Or there ideology?

It's all a distraction. It is a real world sideshow of marginal importance, able to lend a fulfilling sense of patriotic purpose to our lives which is mostly dependent upon our own imaginations. And while the public is indulging in the fantasy of a world in which they must be part of an amorphous fight against the terrorist enemy of the moment, the real issues are being dealt with by powerful people who are quite happy to be allowed to make choices without the public's attention.

"Officials" (whoever that means) are now saying that the message came from "nearer" than Germany (whatever that means).
