"Credible" Threat That Closed LA Schools Was "Hoax", NYC Says

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update:

 

*NYC GOT SAME THREAT THAT CLOSED LA SCHOOLS, DETERMINED HOAX: AP

But LA did not...

Los Angeles police confirmed that all Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) schools are closed Tuesday as police investigate what The LA Times reports as a bomb threat was called into a LAUSD board member. LAUSD is the nation's 2nd largest district. The LAUSD superintendent said  "I am not going to take a chance when it comes to the lives of students," stating that the threat was made to many schools, involved packages and backpacks, and says he wants every school is system searched. L.A. police chief says threat still being analyzed, FBI has been notified.

As NBC Los Angeles reports,

Students were sent home from all Los Angeles Unified School District schools Tuesday morning, according to school police.

 

Los Angeles Unified School District officials plan to conduct a news conference after confirming the potential closure of all schools in the nation's second-largest school district. Details regarding the news conference were not immediately available.

 

Los Angeles School Police confirmed that all students already at schools will be sent home Tuesday morning. An employee at a school bus yard said drivers were told not to leave the lot.

 

The district did not confirm whether the decision was due to a potential safety threat.

 

LAUSD enrolls more than 640,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade at more than 900 schools. The district covers about 720 square miles in Los Angeles and smaller Southern California communities.

Bus drivers have been told not to take the buses out of the lot...

Hhhmm, paging immigration?

I went to a good ole boy rural school and they had major drug rings running prior to high school and this was decades ago.

Also, anything past learning to read/write and math isn't required.  Huge waste of time unless you're a brain.  Of course, training for jobs that don't exist isn't a great use of time so who fucking knows.

What is the most effective terror attack?  One that doesn't require guns or bombs.  It's Sun Tzu in action.  If you can make the opponent take costly action and run around like a chicken with its head cut off, with the expenditure of effort of a single phone call, that's a Sun Tzu win.

There was an episode of MASH where BJ bet Hawkeye that he could play a practical joke on everyone within 24 hours.  All of the others were in on it, so they told Hawkeye about the devious pranks BJ had pulled on them.  Hawkeye was determined not to get caught, so he was awake for the 24 hours, refusing to eat, jumping at every little sound, and finally spending the rest of the night huddled in a barbed-wire enclosure in the middle of the compound, awake and miserable.  He lost the bet because BJ told him that that was the prank, to make him miserable for the whole time.

That's the blueprint here.  A few false flags, and then all you have to do is essentially shout "BOO" and everyone shits their pants...

We got a bunch of threats at my kids school district and the FBI and local LE decided to stop publishing the threats in the news as there was some kind of bot that scanned for mentions of this kind of behavior and then increased the "attacks."  Parents still got email communications when there were threats but theey died down prertty quick after they stopped publishing them....of course my kids have also been schooled (by dad) to throw a chair through the nearest window and help their buddies run like hell if shooting ever did break out....

Can someone explain why people picking up their kids are required to have valid ID, yet we're told that requiring positive ID for voting is impossible because, and I quote, "it disenfranchises poor people because so many don't have ID's"? I have to assume that a relatively large percentage of LAUSD students are in demographics that mirror the supposed disenfranchised voters.

I'll take that one.

In a word, "politics".

Politics is defined as:  a cultural construct that blankets the nation (any Nation, state, family or in extreme cases, Schizophrenics with MPD) with a completely illogical narrative that confounds, confuses, and blurs  the implementation of solutions to the problems that plague said culture. 

Fer instance, it is a fabulously stupendous idea to begin the rebuilding of the U.S. electrical grid, and other infrastructures like the sewer system in Petaluma. However, this will not pass when the democrats hold a slight edge on power, because republicans don't want them to get credit for solving that problem, although when the republicans come to power they will propose the exact same solution, but the democrats don't want them to get credit for it because that increases the power of the democrats to oppose it with a variety of tricks.

Voter ID's are a political football that either side uses to NOT solve the problem of voter fraud (itself, a political football).

And there you have why nothing of any consequence ever gets done except giving the greenlight for the buttfuckers to get "married", whoopee, or ignoring the black on black murders that happen every few minutes, and instead focus solely on a cop shooting a black man who wields a knife, 365/24/7.

We are not a serious country.  The vast majority is intentionally made to pay attention to the most trivial of our problems like changing genders, that about .0000000000000000001 of us are remotely going to do.

It's called 'rule by the exceptionally rare incidents' that affect so few as to be impotent to change the status quo in any meaningful way for the majority.

NO .... the cops don't know that this is a hoax.

NO ... this is not a Government conspiracy.

NO ... this is not a false flag.

Honestly, sometimes I think some of the readers on this forum are just as sick as the terrorists.

L.A. is reacting very cautiously - because it is NOT KNOWN what kinds of follow-on events might be associated with the San Bernadino shooting.  The local police and the FBI have to react with a high degree of caution, because there is an ongoing terrorism investigation.  The ongoing investigation changes everything.  The cops cannot afford to take any risks, after a REAL incident recently happened in the city.

YES .. many LA schools are located in poor neighborhoods.  Therefore, some parents might have problems meeting basic requirements.  It's quite possible that some parents are illegal aliens, so they don't even have ID's.  Welcome to L.A.  But just the same, there is no reason for the kids to be in danger.

The degree of paranoia on Zero Hedge is truly alarming.

This is the definition of "terrorism."  A terrorist is not necessarily some maniac from ISIS.  At this point, with all of the false flags that have occurred, if somebody wanted to shut down schools, governments, sports, churches, or shopping malls, all it takes is a phone call from a pay phone explaining that a bomb or bombs are located in the facility, and that they have one hour to find them... Hoax or real?  Who will be willing to take the chance?  From now on, nobody has to buy weapons or make bombs.  The fear of the unknown is enough to stop the world in its tracks.

That, my friends, is successful terrorism.  A nameless, faceless, boogie-man that keeps people on edge for years.

Go back to the San Bernadino shooting.  What happened to the "third suspect"?  The police pursued somebody.  Somebody was arrested.  Where is that person now?  Apparently still in custody, and no coverage on the news.  This is an ONGOING investigation.  Nobody in the public knows what is happening, or how many other people are involved.

Therefore ... the LA cops have got NO CHOICE but to take a bomb threat seriously.  Probably New York is absolutely right and this was a hoax.  But LA is taking it seriously.

If some idiot sent a threat to Paris (France), how do you think the police there would respond?  Pretty much the same way.

There is NO CONSIRACY.  There is an abundance of caution.

Whoever sent those threats did a really stupid thing, and they will probably wind up facing serious charges in the court system of Los Angeles.

Called in "bomb threats" by terrorists are always hoaxes.   (Well, they might do a real one every few years to try and keep the panic level up, but that assumes it's the same group) 

Tell us, when was the last time a terrorist called in advance?    They create terror by striking randomly, without warning.  "THREATS" are just a way of panicking the sheeple and wasting police and government resources.
