i heard a version of that one where the casino owner saw a golden opportunity to pay off the cops and cash in on the insurance settlement after this "indefusable" bomb went off. totally unrelated but a crazy story for sure, up there with the killdozer

hahaha nothing will come of it because they have the "right" political views.

e: fake bomb threats, fake racist threats, are all the rage on college campuses and nothing ever comes of it. charges are filed then dropped.

The internet is making terrorism groupies a thing? That's pretty hosed up. I have to imagine that impeding an investigation would get some attention from law enforcement.

I'm pretty sure he's making things up or something. If you make a bomb threat in 2016 you're definitely not going to just get off with a 'haha don't do that again you silly goose.'

That Tumblr in particular might be okay, I don't know what was on it exactly. Obstruction of justice or whatever wouldn't really apply there though unless some DA is feeling particularly jumpy.

Someone did a bomb threat against my school not too long ago and he was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats which is a felony and last I heard his life is ruined still. All he wanted to do was get out of an exam.

Sounds like you're projecting to me.

Except in that case that kid was just 'watch me bring some empty briefcase with wires poking out and have everyone trip out' which is basically what Wozniac did (Woz's was worse though) and he didn't actually threaten anyone with anything.

Call up a school and threaten to bomb it and see what happens to you.

MacGuyver bombs are the only bombs I respect. They implicitly involve pre-warning so people can get clear.

he was also repeatedly warned by multiple teachers to put the case away before it stirred up trouble and didn't listen. the entire thing was manufactured by the dad as an excuse to sue the school

Well dad was a prick but it didn't help that the sheriff waddled in and got all super serious about it that's all I'm saying. Pretty sure no one actually believed it was a bomb which is why the kid wasn't charged with making a bomb threat in the end, and also why they didn't bother to evacuate the school or anything and instead just sent the kid to the office.

All I'm saying is if you think that situation is an example of being allowed to call in bomb threats with no repercussions then lol good luck.

The kid, the school, and the police, all hosed up in that case. The kid didn't make anything, he gutted a clock and jammed it haphazardly in a case. He didn't build or create anything. The school over reacted, and should've given him detention for being a dumbass trying to instigate people after he kept parading around his stupid gutted clock.The police were reliable poo poo heels who handcuffed him and treated him like Bin Laden. They should've walked in, looked at it, told him and the school to stop being idiots, and walked out.

100% agree

I'm amazed at all the free poo poo he got though and how people from MIT and other prestigious schools where lining up to "support" Ahmed and his "clock" despite the details being out that it was in fact a scam
