Hoax Or No Hoax? You Decide - Here Is The Full Text Of The Email Threat That Closed LA Schools
Below is the full text of the threatening email directed toward the Los Angeles Unified School District that led to the closing of all schools (and which NYC School District decided was a hoax)... you decide?
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am emailing you to inform you of the happenings on Tuesday, 12/15/15.
Something big is going down. Something very big. It will make national headlines. Perhaps, even international ones. You see, my last 4 years here at one of the district high schools has been absolute hell. Pure, unmitigated, agony. The bullying, the loneliness, the rejection... it is never-ending. And for what? Just because I'm 'different'?
No. No more. I am a devout Muslim, and was once against violence, but I have teamed up with a local jihadist cell as it is the only way I'll be able to accomplish my massacre the correct way. I would not be able to do it alone. Me, and my 32 comrades, will die tomorrow in the name of Allah. Every school in the L.A. Unified district is being targeted. We have bombs hidden in lockers already at several schools. They are strategically placed and are meant to crumble the foundations of the very buildings that monger so much hate and discrimination. They are pressure cooker bombs, hidden in backpacks around the schools. They are loaded with 20 lbs. of gunpowder, for maximum damage. They will be detonated via Cell Phone. Not only are there bombs, but there are nerve gas agents set to go off at a specific time: during lunch hour. To top it off, my brothers in Allah and I have Kalashnikov rifles, Glock 18 Machine pistols, and multiple handheld grenades. The students at every school in the L.A. Unified district will be massacred, mercilessly. And there is nothing you can do to stop it.
If you do end up trying to, by perhaps, beefing up security, or canceling classes for the day, it won't matter. Your security will not be able to stop us. We are an army of Allah. If you cancel classes, the bombings will take place regardless, and we will bring our guns to the streets and offices of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Bakersfield, and San Diego.
I wish you the best luck. It is time to pray to allah, as this may be your last day.

Hmmm, could be a foreign student, as I doubt the vast majority of students that attend LA schools could have penned that without spray paint....or in English
< Hoax
< No Hoax
when in doubt ... Panic !
When in doubt draw attention to yourself as a fighter for democracy by closing schools like a boss.
Leadership was AWOL that day. Or wanted to be in the news. Faggots.
We need more Muslims in The USSA to deal with our joo problem. Let them do the hard work...
STOP this anti-Muslim bullshit!
The solution to pollution is dilution. Bring on the Muslims!
Hard work? Most Jews here are self-loathing progressive liberals, and unarmed.
Is it the low quality education, or a not so devote Muslim, that doesn't consistently capitalize Allah?
Trust me, neither of you two want to go round with an Amish in The Fight Club!
Bitchez!
You people don't understand. What if this hadn't been a hoax?
Don't you see that there was a risk involved? Anytime a risk appears, it should be neutralized. This is true in all realms of modern existence; social, economic, governmental, financial, industrial and environmental. A risk that has been defused is a risk that no longer threatens the fabric of societal harmony.
Children must be taught the importance of de-risking their environment, and this is a valuable object lesson.
I was 2 clicks south of the Pakistan border with our Special Ops team. 12 fine men trained to kill when the orders came in. Our target was Bel'in Be Swami mastermind of the 2014 attack on the US Embassy in the ME. He had a known online profile that was anti-semite/ woops I mean anti-American.
We had BBS in our sights and called in for air support. "Breaker 1-9 to the big jock rocket in the air. Time to drop some thunder".
Highway to the danger zone started playing in my headset courtesy of some state-side Dj named Adam Silverfine. Apparently Adam did a study sponsored by Harvard which concluded that PTSD was eliminated if soundtracks from joo American movies were played during stressful combat missions.
8 soldiers died that day. I wonder if Spielberg was sitting by his pool as they died?
I live in a smaller town, under 25,000 people. Last year the school district received about FIFTY bomb threats. So no, you can't have your "close them just because what if". I'd imagine every single day in a place like LA the school system gets bomb threats.
Name me a student in the LA Unified district that can spell 'unmitigated' and 'Kalashnikov'. Obviously not written by a tormented student. With the bad grammer it might have been a disgruntled English teacher but nothing more.
Any student can use a spell checker.
Even ZH has a spell checker in the menu options for the reply. It is denoted by the ABC with the checkmark underneath.
In fact if you had opted to use it then you'd not have misspelled the word "grammar" in your response.
Personally I rarely use it. But it is a tool.
Call me a cynic, but I personally think one of the 'children' penned this little massive to get out of finals. All Hail the Snack Bar!
You are only at risk of dying when you are alive.
You must, thereofore, commit suicide to ensure you have minimized risk.
Then show me the MIME headers. Every TCP/IP application leaves trail of bread crumbs. Show me the data.
Oh...and Boo!!! Muthafuqahs!!!
An Amish person cannot use the internet, much less a computer. I live near many. Lovely people.
But worthless in a fight...
the reason they were not thought of highly in Europe.
Hoax, regardless of outcome.
MSM was forced to say it was a hoax in an afterthought due to pressure from Barry, et al, or he would encounter moar resistance to his wide open border policies and importation of 100k Moslims.
I bet MSM has strict orders NOT to publicize any of this stuff that might blemish the establishing of refugees in your neighborhood.
NYC schools received the same email threat and knew it was a hoax.
Agenda, anyone?
The word 'Hoax' is not one that I would use to describe what occurred....I would use the word 'DRILL'
The world really is in a perilous state......

Hmmm, could be a foreign student
No, Jethro. The tell on that was that they did not use the Metric System.
Pounds are a foreign measurement to the rest of the World.
Only the Americans and the English think in terms of Pounds.
Look at that phrase "beefing up security." This note was written by a demented Greek, probably a USC frat boy who didn't realize that 82 year-old LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines is a total idiot. Nor does this dimwit know how easy it is for the police to track down him and his jokers.
*cancelling
American hoaxers can't spell if they're trying to be not American. Try using kilos next time as well.
Good observation.
So obviously a hoax that if I were the person in charge in LA I'd resign and commit seppuku imediately.
A real jihadist would not have sent a letter at all. Boom -- yer dead allah akbar.
The affirmative-action drone running LAUSD should resign.
If you wanted to get more into character, it would have been so easy to go on the net and find some ISIS text and mimic it. They did not even give it that level of effort, and the authorities went for it.
I noted on another thread, every educator knows that bomb threats frequently come in during finals week.
That is because they are fearful of bombing the final.
Maybe the teachers need to stop terrorizing the children...
On a second thought...NAH. We need to get even somehow.
Things are tough when you fail to bomb the final. Now get those kids into a round room and go make them sit in a corner.
Okay here I go:
To the Satanic crusaders:
You will die today. in glorious rivers of blood Allah be praised you will cry for your families and your cattle like pigs you must cut open to shreds. Allah wills it and Mohammad is His prophet praise his name. We love your children more than you do yourself because you are infidels, but we must send your children in school to heaven same as how you sent ours under the eye of God praise his love. You drone our wedding parties! Our virgins have died not knowing their husbands who unlike you fear God and obey the prophet praise him and the laws so your brides also will die today also. But your brides are all slut swines because they are unchaste we have seen them on TV. Still we love them and children. Even your sheep and goats we love and weep at their destruction today at the schools but they are tainted by your unbelieving hands so not even their flesh is clean to eat. The goats not the children. Prepare to cry a million tears a million times for what you have done to the goats even for they will see heaven and you will never, if it is Allah's will.
I gave you time to edit it.
Praise be to Allah. The goats, not the children. ;-)
Sporting of you. There were typos. You can't be taken seriously as a terrorist with typos. Though now I think I might have used too much actual punctuation for being a deranged drugged-up Jihaddi. And I think not enough mention of all the sacred and permitted ways to kill infidels and send them to Hell. You know how much I like that part.
Bravo, bravo well done.
I know someone who's getting a job offer from Langley for Christmas....
If that were what was submitted then I'd have to grade that as an "A+".
That'd be convincing.
For Art extra credit they could've at least used the Bonzai Muslim Type Font.
Was a technician at a local college in UK during the early 70s when the IRA were up to mischief (Brit government were too, but that's another story)
For 7 weeks in a row we got a bomb threat at lunchtime on Friday.
It became a joke. at about 1:30 people were preparing to go outside and watch the cops search the whole place.
Have to wonder what interesting things they did actually find, but never anything of an explosive nature.
I remember week 8, it was like losing an old friend!
At every instution I ever attended and the one I teach at now, bomb threats were so regular at the end of the semester that it was hard to take them seriously. We would go outside, stand around, wait, then get the all clear in about 10-20 minutes. You all look at each other and go "Finals week."
My instution has not had any bomb threats recently however. So even as I mock them, this is a little new. Retro!
Isn't it mind blowing how people are taking these threats so seriously these days? I'm certainly not afraid of a bunch of backwards, brainwashed Hadjis. Though I sincerely believe they are just the pawns on the table. I'm somewhat nervous of government agencies (from any country) operating in the US. If somone decides to do harm to me, my family, or any innocent around me I will do my all to take out as many of them as I possibly can if I can't take out all of them.
Zodiac does Jihad
When planning a massacre it is always in best practice to lay out in as much detail as possible the who, what, where, why, and how's to the victims you are targeting.
Yes this was a hoax and an obvious one. This goes to show the stupidity of the upper echelons of a stupid liberal organization namely the LA school district.
No wonder California churns out so many morons.
It would seem the "LA school district" was probably instructed, by those who wrote the script, since this was probably an inside exercise, to do as they were told, or else. This is a test, this is only a test.
Obvious hoax - muslims can't speak English.
They forgot to capitalize Alliah.
What self respecting Muslim would do that?
A moron, a fraud, or both.
Fuck the text of the email. Post the fucking email headers with IP address. I will tell you if its fake in 5min.
I'm wondering which employee/student of the school district cared enough to type this threat.
As for the IP of the sender... well, that's likely classified.
Someone should have realized that no massacre has ever been phoned in beforehand (or emailed in this case).
LA Unified is a dumb as the kids they teach.
Correction: The kids are smarter than the administrators.
I've said it before, others have too: With all the wiretapping/mass surveillance WE are paying for, why wasn't the sender arrested within 30 min ??
As answered before: NSAs mass surveillance is not for keeping the people safe. It's for keeping the government "safe".
school lockers are barely wide enough to hold 5 text books side by side and they can fit pressure cookers in there?
Terrorist Bueller's Day Off
School was cancelled, the Terrorists have won.
They were just Blowing off school!
Those kids can be absolute terrors after all...
.
That was obviously written by one of LA's best students in the public schools.
I wonder what High School Library or College Library that they are going to trace this to...
Grade...I'd award this a 'C' for proper grammar and structure, but there is a lack of story consistency combined with that of a lack of imagination.
The composer was American born as it was properly pointed out in this thread that the Metric System was not used.
Myopic fuckin' kids.
I would have been laughing spitting up my coffee reading that silly fake email threat.
The kid who wrote that must have been tear laughing all the way through writing that.
"Post the fucking email headers with IP address. I will tell you if its fake in 5min."
You got to hand it to the DHS. At least they are smart enough to NOT do just that. Next time they should consider having someone write it htat does not have English as a first language. Morons.
The writer is pretending to be a kid.
Hoax. What jihadist in their right mind would send a warning?
finals week? not that it matters anymore.
. Definitely a hoax, just some smart ass looking for his 15 minutes of fame.
Fucker wanted out of his/her final exams...best hoax there is to get more study time and more shopping time for the Holidays...Never forget this kids!!!...
or CIA is testing LAUSD for false flag.
Maybe the NSA can find out who this guy is? Maybe they already have. Maybe they found out the email originated in Langley. We need our daily fucking dose of Islamic terrorism you know.
It is extremely doubtful that a devout Muslim would use the term "I" so many times.
Apparently the NYC school district has a better understanding of language than the LA school district.
Yeah, my off-the-cuff fakester threat email above is better.
Hey maybe I should create an "instructable" on the topic of how to write authentic-sounding terrorist threats while pretending to be a Muslim.
What was the name of the movie, where bruce willis and this really cool black guy were hunting for bombs at the skools, while the real crime was the bad guy stealing all the gold from wall street? lol .just sayin my friends :-)
It doesnt matter whether they find the kid that did it, they will come up with someone and crucify him.
That is still better than the Anthrax letters... Plllease! :
09-11-01
"THIS IS NEXT
TAKE PENACILIN [sic] NOW
DEATH TO AMERICA
DEATH TO ISRAEL
ALLAH IS GREAT"
The second note that was addressed to Senators Daschle and Leahy read:
09-11-01
"YOU CAN NOT STOP US.
WE HAVE THIS ANTHRAX.
YOU DIE NOW.
ARE YOU AFRAID?
DEATH TO AMERICA.
DEATH TO ISRAEL.
ALLAH IS GREAT."
Reminds me of this:

Fun times.
After 4 years--Is this an athlete that has been "red shirted"?
Second largest in the nation, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) enrolls more than 640,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, at over 900 schools, and 187 public charter schools. The boundaries spread over 720 square miles and include the mega-city of Los Angeles as well as all or parts of 31 smaller municipalities plus several unincorporated sections of Southern California.
vs.
Me, and my 32 comrades, will die tomorrow in the name of Allah. The students at every school in the L.A. Unified district will be massacred, mercilessly.
Standard Disclaimer: That's a lot of ground to cover in a single day. And Common Core math for the win.
Pressure Cooker bombs, with real gun powder.
And nerve gas.
So very typical and realistic. And there's 32 of us.
I call bullshit. That's definitely a hoax. No student to pass through LA Unified in the last 20 years can write properly. Most cannot write a properly formed complete sentence let alone several paragraphs in a single, consistent stream of thought.
So the only grammatical error in this email just happens to be the word "allah"? LOL.
That, and using words like "comrades" and phrases like "beefing up",......
Suuure... these are the words of your typical run-of-the-mill Jihadi!
it does sound like a false threat by an older american male - maybe with a military background and maybe white. Muslims know how to spell Alah.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Feds are running a fine toothcomb over all the readers on blogs that talk about conspiracy theories - including ZeroHedge.
whoever did this .. is gonna' spend a LOT of years in a federal prison ... plenty of time to consider that it was a very dumb move.
Unless they were being paid to send it as part of their job working for some diarrhea guzzling 3 letter government agency. The mindless masses must be made terrified of an exogenous threat in order to be brought to heel, easily anyway.
Oh no.. this sounds like the work of a "protected class" who was feeling lazy and didn't want to struggle through finals, with the extra hotness of making national headlines.
The first clue was the opening line "Something big is going down". That is a classic line from the negroid group.... Then the misspellings, capitalization error and punctuation errors.....
Anyone notice they capitalized "Glock" but not "allah"?
They tried to clean it up but it adds up to a
Classic "protected class" #2 male perp. 100%
Watch and see....
I would have screamed fake as soon as I saw it.
When it comes to calling the racial profile of a crime, I have a 85-90% accuracy rate.
Someone that is nailing every single flouted point of every "happening" up until now should have been the first indicator.
I would have known it was fake...
You, the discerning and observant zerohedge crowd would call fake as well....
BUT
If something, even minor happened then every libtard, every .gov official, every protected class asshole would come out of the woodwork and it would be a holy shit old fashion pig fuck fest of lawsuits to see who could win the most in court.
That is the way it is in the Communist RepubliK of KalifourniA

Two plus two equals five, at least if you love big brother.
How will the LAUSD react to the next threat message? Will hoax-sters be able to ring the bell again?
Good point. If official clears schools but no boom boom = keeps job. If official doesn't clear schools but boom boom = fired. Decision driven entirely by the self interest of the official.
Certainly looked like a Hoax, but what are you going to do? if you ignore it and your wrong?
I expect more of these going forward, what with wifi hotspots expanding, exoect more control over accessing the Internet in the future.
These "stressors" (shootings, threats, swattings, system disruption etc.) will continue and likely increase until people in any given area form communities and localized support systems based on the Dunbar number and fractal patterns. These communities must take postive action to know each other and create their own security and response measures to potential threats. Communities must mirror natural structures and systems. Top-down systems always end in the same way, structural criticality and cascade failure.
"The bullying, the loneliness, the rejection... it is never-ending. And for what? Just because I'm 'different'".....
That sentence explains it perfectly......It fits right in with the leftwing narrative of racist America......The school authorities probably had to clean themselves after swallowing hook line and sinker.....
They are playing the left like a fiddle........
Nice use of the oxford comma
no LA public school student is using one of those
The absurdity of this thing reads like a bad scooby doo episode, or one of those cheesy after-school specials. It's so fake it's beyond dumb. If Homeland Security would have only had their new warning system up yesterday to tell me how to feel about it, I would have had a much better day.
I have the displeasure of working near those idiots occasionally, usually high-ranking ones even. I'm amazed many of them don't have sparrows building nests in their mouths. They're certainly not the sharpest knives in the landfill.
i call bullshit. no one smart would take a pistol to a massacre. ak rifle with 30 rnd mag(s). you dont use a handgun in the military sitautions. also why have BOTH bombs and nerve gas.
the real tip off is...if you had nerve gas, you wouldnt want to alert the authorities to remove the people you plan on killing. let the gas silently kill everyone as the gov wouldnt be able to figure it out before all the gas is used and kills everyone...?
bringing building down without a shape charge or A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN 2olbs of black power....hahahaha. could kill people but no american building is falling with simple bombs in a backpack.
this is all bullshit....but it did work. costs $29mil supposedly.
As a secondary weapon system you absolutely do! If that rifle goes down and can't clear it, you go to your secondary (pistol). Just because most combat arms units don't care about their soldiers enough to give them a secondary doesn't mean it's not standard doctrine. SF ODAs, Seals, fuck even the derp squad swat teams all run secondaries. In the LE cases though, they probably only use their secondaries to beat their spouses and to pistol-whip innocent people that annoy them.
carry a second ak on your back if you want a backup. pistols are very inefficient....pistols are for officers to show off like patton.
I would pay to watch you do 2 man team bounding, tac reloads and break contact with an extra rifle on your back. Even the best would not look like a JSOC ninja... more like a sock puppet retard.
...show me a video that has terrrist doing what you said numbnuts. tac reloads...you are a fucking idiot. tac reloads against unarmed old people and children and civilians. you are an idiot.
i had to add this...you really are stupid...! PEOPLE STAND IN LINE AND WAIT TO BE SHOT IN THE HEAD and you are worried about the speed of a mag change...!....hahahahahha
I don't generally, no, never get in a gunfight with unarmed people. Those rare as rocking horse shit, genuine "terrists" of yours are going to be coming in contact with resistance at some point, even if they slaughter a number of people prior to that contact. It seems that you really don't get it. That's ok. It's probably past your bedtime. Was that your mom calling? Go brush your teeth and go to bed son. It's christmas next week. Oh, and you can put the dishes away in the morning before school. You're starting to get a "tood" and the grownups want to talk.
again you are an idiot.....the 'end' as you put it for terrorist is wha?...THEY BLOW THEMSELVE THE FUCK UP.....terrorist dont have a defensive position. they die. they are expendable. there is no attempt to fight back. they are there for one mission.
"It's probably past your bedtime. Was that your mom calling? Go brush your teeth and go to bed son. It's christmas next week. Oh, and you can put the dishes away in the morning before school. You're starting to get a "tood" and the grownups want to talk. "....are you sure you arent at the wrong website. obama asskissing websites are over at msnbc or the aclu or the naacp. people (liberals) that cant debate with facts do it with the 'living in the basement ' or 'trumps hair'.....you try and portray yourself as military or exmilitary therefore you have a special knowledge we dont but if you are military...god help us...!
Yeah, probably written by a cop; X-mas just around the corner ya know.
What idiot would fall for this crap?
Last Allah not capitalized. Too many idiomatic expressions. Complained about the agonizing loneliness of high school but has 32 friends to carry out a massacre. Has 32 comrades not brothers. Generic local jihad cell with no catchy name or acronym. No Koran quotes. No Arabic. Has pressure cooker bombs (low tech) and generic nerve gas (high tech for a Muslim).

Wow, that's exactly like the letter the Tsaranev brothers sent and the one Farook and Malik sent and the one Nidal Hasan sent. Oh, not to mention that email UBL sent to the WTC management on 9/10.
Clearly an abundance of caution was in order, highly credible flashback to every other forewarned terror attack.
All true, unfortunately Dick Cheney's daughter couldn't get a job doing anything else. So she writes these letters. It's a sad existence really.
Is this a chain email template which people should be sending to other cities? ;-)
My 30 something daughter is a high school English teacher. She sent me a pic of a final essay assignment from an "honors English" freshman paper who spelled innocent like this . Inasent. No kidding. Hoax or dare? America , we hardly knew ya.
It's a sad, sad state. How did this happen so quickly? (rhetorical)
This email is what spam filters are for
The whole islamic cultist thing is very easy to deal with. Just put a cash bounty on the head of ANY islamic cultist. Will be a great "shovel ready" economic stimulus program.
And around the same time, a teacher in France is exposed to be a bare faced liar who triggered a national security alert, falsely claiming a mulsim attacked him:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35093799
The teacher enjoys anonymity because he is at a school named after a jew French physicist who was aided by Rothschilds, and his relative aids the Israeli nuclear program.
A determined attempt to hoax schools in Europe and the USA. Cui bono?
Sounds like the CIA is going back to school.
As for real or hoax, I'll just say it's a real false flag.
What makes me so sure, the CIA has much more experiece and more attacks under their belts than the very muslims they claim to be responible.
Silly rabbits - jihadi sleeper cells don't issue manifestos (unlike the FBI, I watched both seasons of Sleeper Cell.... ;-0)!
So you're gonna blow up schools and then you're gonna send a warning? Kind of ruins the 'surprise'. It is either a hoax or fearmongering terrorism.
So, they have cellphones with batteries that last more than one day or they installed extra batteries in the pressure cooker to keep the phones alive. They installed the phones outside, and run the cables thru an orifice, because inside a metal container they would not work.
Also, this student was able to buy 20 pounds of gunpowder and precursors to make nerve gas without drawing any attention.
After doing this he assembled a bomb with 20 pounds of gunpowder, that requires a 2.5 gallon container not counting any schrapnel he might have included to make it more damaging.
Then together with this tiny pressure cooker with a side phone and battery, he put the nerve gas into a backpack and was able to carry it unnoticed to the school, and fit it into a locker.
No, not an hoax at all
I'm pretty sure a pressure cooker would fail before it built up enough pressure to 'explode'. I think that might be one of those hollywood movie myths that everybody believes, otherwise people would be blowing themselves up all the time making jam or fried chicken. Sounds like an expensive way to make some noise and start a fire. That's like $600 worth of gun powder so that's not a good use of resources, probably failed home-economics.

Gave game away by mispelling Allah with a small "a".
But no one in LAUSD Admin will loose their job, pension, or be held accountable. Same with NSA, FBI, TSA, DHS, etc, etc, etc. No one looses their job or is held accountable when a fuck-up occurs, or they miss something. On the contrary, when an incident occurs, they get a bigger budget, moar people, moar power,... So why do anything like their JOB? They benefit when they DON'T do the job, not when they DO. The only answer is rope and lamp posts.
This is such a bad hoax for all of the obvious reasons that whomever decided to close LA schools should be fired for 1) closing schools 2) giving ISIS such good ideas and 3) lack of common sense
first line: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Would have been: Infidels, apostates and killers of women and children
This reminds me of a prank I pulled years ago. I sent in a letter (how very old fashioned) to the principal accusing a fellow classmate of some nefarious activity. The principal called the other kid's dad, who went to school, proved it was fake, THEN HE WENT LOOKING FOR 'WHATEVER LITTLE SON OF A BITCH WHO WROTE THIS"! At which point I promptly my shit my pants. Principal eventually tracked me down weeks later and called me into office for enhanced interrogation. It was the fear of my father's friend that allowed me to endure the questioning. Finally he said, "I know you did this, but I can't prove it. Get the hell out of my office and don't tell anyone you did this because Billy's dad really is crazy and he will beat the shit out of you."
I imagine in LA there is a kid somewhere shitting his pants, wondering when the SWAT team is going to kick in the door to his bedroom for pulling the mother of all practical jokes in School History. Fucking kid is going to end up expelled AND in the slammer AND getting slammed.
What? they did not mention bitcoin?
The reference to the Glock 18 machine pistols should have been a clear tip-off that this was a hoax.
The G18 is so highly regulated at both the national and California state level that it would be impossible for a lone wolf jihadist to get one. Now, if we're talking about a member of ISIS proper getting US weapons smuggled into the Middle East from the CIA, maybe they could get one, but even within the military and law enforcement the G18 is ultra-rare... It's more likely the CIA will give them M16s as is commonly seen in photos of ISIS parades.
But you can count on the leftist/progressive LA school officials to not know squat about guns, so they totally missed this point about the G18.
---
On another note, I'm glad that the LA school system freaked out and shut down. For one, that should be a ton of money saved (assuming they were not paid since no students were in attendance).
But more important: it just goes to show that the big nanny state can't actually do anything to protect individuals. Either they overreact like the TSA searching through granny's Depends (while letting 90% of smuggled weapons through in recent tests) or underreact like ICE failing to check the San Bernardino terrorists' fiance visa for basic factual correctness like a valid address, etc.
Gov't is a blunt instrument, and the public needs to understand this.
