And the copycats and mutants continue to crawl out of the woodwork.
A man from Australia is under arrest for posting a threatening video on YouTube against a Sydney high school. But here’s the weird part…
St Marys detectives, with the help of the education department and international agencies, have been investigating reports of a threatening message posted on an internet site last week.
They swooped on the 30-year-old man as he arrived in Sydney today on a flight from Melbourne.
The man, from North Parramatta, was taken to Mascot Police Station where he is assisting police with their investigation.
That’s a lot of traveling that some would defend as a prank. Speaking of pranks, pay heed would be pranksters…
“Any threat of violence against students or teachers is a serious breach of the law and will be treated accordingly.”
He added police would lay charges regardless of whether the perpetrator considered their actions to be a prank.
Police don’t care if you’re joking.
