Parents freaked out over new gun threat at Parkland High school

So the students and parents at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Are understandably concerned over a new online gun threat from another student.

He posted a couple pictures online of guns and bullets and threatened another student that he accuses of stealing his Gucci sandals..

The kid was arrested and it was his fathers gun who I guess turned it over to police along with 6 bullets.

Over a pair of used sandals? We are supposed to take kids this age seriously on gun control when their real concerns are clear back packs and Gucci sandals..

The school is not letting parents know if this kid will be allowed to attend the rest of the year..

Get this, his fotnite gamer tag is NickCruz .

A student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School made threats with a gun and ammunition against another student, and parents want to know if more danger lurks on campus ... yet the school has gone radio silent

This is why I say hip hop, video games, and movies does have an impact on behavior. It may not affect 99% of us, but it is clear that there is a small percentage of people who are negatively influenced.

Everyone has to "flex" like they are a gangsta...

Over gucci flip flops?

So which is it, are these kids so dialed in and super intelligent that we should take their argument without question when it comes to the constitution, or are they to stupid to figure out how to find the how to on google. (assuming their is a safe)

That would depend on the kid. Not every child is the same.

Lastly most people use the same password for multiple items in their lives, and its usually something easy to remember birthdays, anniversary things like that. It is usually not that hard to figure out...

Anyone that does this in today's society is a fool.

Weak people have been flexing like they are a gansta since the days of billy the kid.

Art imitates life.

Between this, and that knife issue last week maybe the issue at that school is the culture of the people in that community, but hey lets make a hero out of this kid too. Why not the media loves to back morons that violate the law over stupid crap, then cover their own garbage by blaming law abiding citizens.

Sure this idiot kid claimed to be planning to off another kid, but really what's with that community?

I think it is life imitating art in many cases...

When my youngest was in high school he was a screw up. I kept our firearms disabled (bolts removed and stashed inside of cabinetry panels) excepting my own daily carry.

Thats a responsible gun owner right there...

So many parents would refuse to believe their child has any issues at all.

Are they supposed to be bright pupils at that school?
This boy couldn't work out that making gun threats in the present atmosphere would be bad timing?

wait, kids are clever enough to get into safes, but not clever enough to have an opinion on reasonable gun safety measures? I thought they we're all busy eating tide pods or some asinine deflection..

ya, he's definitely not the sharpest. lol

i suppose it could mean he's screaming for attention.. hope he gets some help.

Not all teens are the same. I was very mature as a teen. Firearms were kept openly in my house. I never once had an inkling to play with or do anything stupid with a gun. However, my dad was a cop and taught me early on about firearms. His attitude was "he wanted to get the curiosity out of me" so he sat me down and let me play with and clean his side arm when I was about 7 or 8 years old. From that point on, I just viewed it like a hammer.

On the other hand, a lot of my friends were constantly getting into their parents liquor cabinets, gun cabinets, porn stashes, and everything else they could find when parents weren't around.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop...

Yes....but don’t you see:

THIS COULD NEVER EVER HAPPEN IF THEY CONFISCATED EVERY GUN!

What can I say? It was the 70's.

That's because kids don't know everything, but they do know enough to be dangerous. For example, they know tide pods are bad to eat, but they do it anyway because it's funny to see the reaction of the idiot doing it. This case right here is another example. This kid should know that in today's world, especially where he lives, that taking pictures of a gun and acting like he did was a bad idea. Yet, he did it anyway.

Kids do know a lot, but they don't really utilize what they know to make proper decisions. In fact, many of their decisions are actually against what they know. They know not to drink and drive, yet how many do it?? They know not to text and drive, yet how many do it?? There's so many things that they know not to do, yet they just do it anyway. I know that's human's in general, but it's very prevalent with teenagers. That's why nobody wants to listen to them, because we were all kids once, and we know how stupidly we all went against the things we knew better.

I wonder if he was also trained for such?

Official state sponsored type training?

Art can not be created without something from life to draw from. I think we will have to agree to disagree in this case.

Or maybe in this kids mind, he thought it'd be perfect timing to make that kind of threat... I mean, if their ever was a time that threatening a bully by simply posting a picture of a gun on social media, was going to be taken seriously...

"In this kids mind"...

...kids minds are messed up. Impulse control has widely varying levels of use based on individual, and that individuals frame of mind.

It looks like an opportunity to posture more than anything. Make sure you get the waistband of those $30 drawers, and that LV belt in the image while you try to look hard AF to the world.

Bet he still has mom bring him toilet paper in the bathroom when there isn't any. You can't "tough guy" out of that reality...but you cant try.

How do you think all these hacks keep happening around the globe?

Its not the hackers are that super awesome and special, but a lack of security.. heck the most successful way to breach a companies defenses is still social attacks IE the Nigerian prince email scam.

Lastly with the increase in 8-16 digit alpha numeric non-sequential letters or numbers at work people by reflex will user simpler codes at home because whats the risk its only family right.

So you and a few other people are being awful judgmental with a tiny bit of information on this family.

Or is it the other way, are they to stupid to use google which would lead me to dismiss their opinions on a subject regarding the constitution.
