People thinking these acts as "empty threats" are who are responsible after the action happens and many people are killed........take for instance what happened recently on the 11th at Success Tech Academy. A 14 year old went to school, shot it up and now on the news their saying that the boy gave plenty of warning. Wake up people! If we only listened to these warnings, things like this could be stopped before they happen and we wouldnt have to bury our children and loved ones! Yes! there are people who make just threats but then there are those people who make threats and intend to carry them out. Me being a mother of a son who is still too young to attend school, fears for when he does. There is no "simple threat." In many cases, a threat can be turned into an action...Ponder on that a while.
