Juicy Campus

Apparently another guy was arrested over making an obviously fake threat on the internet today.  The threat was Made on JuicyCampus, which is a site where kids/teens can gossip about their schools I guess.  Something I would never use, but I guess it’s pretty popular (It is now! lol).  I know threats are wrong, and you shouldn’t do it in real life, nor on the internet… but I definitely think that the people should be given a little more slack when it comes to the internet.

Despite school shootings being horrible, I’m certain mosts teens have made some wise crack about pulling a VT, and even elaborated on that.

This person was arrested for writing:

“I wonder if i could shut down the school by saying I’m going to shoot as many people as i can in my second class tomorrow.I hope I get more than 50,”

George So says, and then goes on to add

“For liability reasons and IP tracking I won’t leave it at that. But seriously, this site is rediculous [sic], if it got big, and someone put the effort into writing a big long serious suicide note informing all readers that he would kill over 100 kids, they could shut down the school. Nice.”

To me that doesn’t even sound like a threat, but the police thought that it had to be taken seriously.  Obviously with all of the recent school shootings, they needed to be careful.  George So’s colleague told the campus police about the post, and the campus police then told the city police.  George So ended up being arrested, and his apartment was searched (where no weapons were found).

So… long story short, much adieu about nothing.

7.8 Earthquake in China

First of all, a 7.8 earthquake is extremely large. I think the largest recorded earthquake is somewhere around 8.0. This quake didn’t last for a couple seconds like many that almost everyone has experienced. It shook with quite a large intensity, and didn’t let up for a while. Huge buildings and small buildings alike were completely demolished by the forces of nature, and there was many casualties.

During the Earthquake, a school collapsed and around 900 students were trapped inside. Chinese soldiers tried to find survivors, but there was hardly any. Actually, there has only been one survivor found, out of hundreds of students. Needless to say, there was a lot of grief among the parents as they stood watching the soldiers find dead bodies, and the time drew on.

I found a video on youtube that helps to show how intense the earthquake really was. Hard to believe the Cloverfield film quality was worse than this even when their was no earthquake right?
