Johnston Memorial Hospital in Abingdon was under lockdown for a couple of hours today because of some nut. I also heard Holston High School was also.

You ain't kiddin', I wish they would have never given that kid the satisfaction of putting his [censored] on the air. That is exactly what he wanted.

Folks, people were already posting bomb threat as such across the US after this happened. The media's presentation of these photos, and video didn't do much to increase these threats IMO.

There was what, several that same day. More the next day and everyday since.

That's why it is so hard for the administrations and law enforcement to know whats real and whats not.

Its fine to say treat everyone as real, but to me, almost like this one. Whats to stop someone from reporting one or basically making a small cut, and turning around to do something bigger while everybody is looking at the first part? Nothing at all. And locking down the campus, I wonder how effective that would have been. I'm of the mind, as crazy and psychotic as he was (one psychologist on radio said his condition is paranoid psychotic, which also means that they are very organized), that he had plans on how to act like a 'victim', getting past someone (either by tricking or killing them), and then he would have been in a building just the same.
