    666-III

    The night was black was no use holding back
    ‘Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
    In the mist dark figures move and twist
    Was this all for real or some kind of hell

    Violence Rumors Rumble Over Dreaded Date 6-6-06:

    More 666 rumors…

    A Carroll County High School is trying to ease parents’ fears about sending their kids to school next Tuesday.

    The date translates into 6-6-6, a day associated with Satanic references. And there had been rumors of extreme violence to mark it. The rumors have been circulating for months and got parents at Liberty High School in Carroll County worried. So the school system called in Maryland State Police to investigate. Their investigation zeroed in on two students and led to searches of homes and computers.

    The superintendent met with several dozen Liberty high parents last week to address their safety concerns. They’ve decided to ban trench coats that some of the Goth crowd has been wearing. They say it’s too much like Columbine suspects who killed 13 people and committed suicide in 1999.

    On 6-6-6, police will be everywhere. Still, we’re told that students who miss class next Tuesday will be able to make up the work, if they have a parent’s note.

    All over the DC area, school officials and police are asking parents to monitor their child’s computer use and report any troubling information they uncover.

    A trench coat ban? For real?

    First off, no one should be wearing a trench coat in June. Even I don’t wear mine in June. It’s hot out, people.

    Secondly, a trench coat ban isn’t going to solve anything. It’s just going to make the masses more riled. 9 times out of 10 goths are not prone to violence. It’s only the mutants that give the rest of them a bad name. But like I said, I’d be surprised if someone didn’t try to plan something on June 6th. I just hope police, schools, and other students are vigilant enough to keep anything from happening.

    Can this still be real

    Satanic references on myspace lead to precautions at Pisgah:

    Here we go again…

    Students at Pisgah High School are being kept inside all day after a rumor sparked by a threat made it on to the Web site, myspace.com.

    “We had word that circulated about somebody that was going to come here and commit a crime,” Principal Danny Miller said Tuesday afternoon.

    Miller said the school was not on lockdown, but was following a pre-determined safety plan.

    School officials located the source of the rumor. Miller said it involved an adult from out-of-town who made no reference to Haywood County or Pisgah High School.

    The rumor began after a Pisgah student talked to someone on myspace.com who mentioned that June 6, 2006, might be a good day to miss school. The date, 06-06-06, was presented as a time when satanic groups could become active. School officials couldn’t discern how that date sparked rumors about potential events taking place at the school today.

    I’m glad that the school was prepared, and I’d rather have a school over-react than under-react but come on. We can’t lock down every school at the mere mention of 666. But I wouldn’t be surprised if some idiot did try something on that date. I’ll be glad when it’s 6/7/06.

    “Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
    beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short…
    Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
    beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
    sixty six.”

    CHARIHO OFFICIALS ON ALERT AFTER ‘THREAT’:

    It was bound to happen. A Rhode Island high school is on alert because of rumors that something will happen on 6/6/06…

    WOOD RIVER JCT. – Rumors of a “dangerous threat” at Chariho High School have district officials on high alert.

    Though no specific threats have been made, Superintendent Barry J. Ricci said Tuesday that several rumors surfaced during the last week that are based on an event slated to take place on June 6 – a date that resembles the number “666” when abbreviated as 6/6/06.

    Known as the “number of the beast,” the numeral is associated with the devil under Christian eschatology.

    “The rumors have been checked out by administrators and the (Richmond) Police Department,” Ricci said. “They’ve taken on a life of their own.”

    Early Tuesday morning, teachers at the Switch Road school read a letter to students during first-period classes that was intended to acknowledge the rumors, assure their safety and to field any possible tips, according to Ricci.

    I’m sure we’ll have more of these stories, as it gets closer to June 6th. It’s just another day.

    RED LAKE INCIDENT: Student appears for alleged threats:

    The suspect in the most recent threat against Red Lake High School has appeared in court…

    DULUTH – A Red Lake (Minn.) High School student being held in connection with recent threats at the school where seven people were killed last year appeared Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Duluth, according to a newspaper report.

    The Star Tribune of Minneapolis said the nature of the 10-minute, closed-door hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Erickson was not revealed. The identity of the boy also was not revealed.

    Several members of the boy’s family attended the hearing but did not share details afterward. The boy appeared expressionless as authorities led him from the courtroom with his hands cuffed behind his back, the newspaper reported.

    There’s something eerie about the fact that they’re keeping such a tight lid on this.

    New threats at Red Lake School:

    Haven’t these kids ever heard the expression “don’t poke the bear”?…

    Officials at Red Lake High School arranged extra security after rumors that a group of students planned an assault at the school, which was the site of an attack last year in which seven people were gunned down.

    The Star Tribune of Minneapolis, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the situation, reported Tuesday that a ninth-grade student was in custody.

    Minnesota high school violent plot foiled:

    More details…

    RED LAKE, Minn., April 25 (UPI) — Federal officials have foiled a gang-related violent plot at the Red Lake, Minn., high school where seven people were gunned down last year.

    An unidentified ninth-grade boy with no record of behavioral problems was taken into custody late last week, and the FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs agents were working at increasing security at the school, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Tuesday.

    Staff members and students learned of a “hit list” that contained dozens of names, mostly students and a few staff members, the report said.

    If you plan a school attack where people have been previously killed in one, joking or not, the law is going to come down on you like a ton of bricks.
