Seriously, enough with school e-mail threats

I'm getting a lot of news in my college, Rochester Institute of Technology, about they received e-mails about threats against RIT. I believed it's quite stupid that someone sent the e-mail threats to schools and that's the second time that my college get that kind of threats in this year.

The first one was in 2007 (two week after Virginia Tech massacre), and it caused the school closed when they got the first e-mail threat. After that, Police arrested a student who live off-campus, then they found rifles and handguns, which the offender claimed he "collect" guns.

Ironically, it was near the final exam week and thanksgiving break was getting closer.

Thank god that I'm not living in a college dorm.

In addition, does it bother you guys in schools that some e-mail threats are more serious and some other fake threats that make people saying, "I'm sorry, it was just a joke. lol?"

Does anyone have that experiences?

No tolerance for this type of thing.

I'm a poor chap without position or anything to envy but I can proudly say I've so far received FIVE death threats which I suspect largely from me trying to expose things with my signature. Silence on the contrary is not the best of things. To each one I replied with a recipe of a local dish with accompanying picture of course. You can't be rude to people do you

Stupid people...

Lots of crazy stuff happening in the Rochester area this year, meth lab in Scottville, cop shot in the head with a .22, the Valintines Day killings. Don't get me started on last year, lets just say there was a ex-fellon in Scottville with a rocket launcher.

SgtPotato you live in Rottenchester? Cool, I live over in Penfield.
