The crazies are out in force today - 3 bomb threats this morning: one at my grandson's h.s, and 2 more at h.s.'s in Dover. This is the 2nd one this week for one of the Dover schools! :mad:
Grandson said it was chaos at his school for a few hours. They were evacuated to the football stadium at 8:15, and it was almost 3 hours before they got the all clear to return to the building. There were 2 bomb squads - one state police and one from Dover Air Force Base, bomb sniffing dogs, and upwards of 20 vehicles from state and local police swarming the area, in addition to ambulance stand-by and fire and rescue crews, Parents were showing up to pull their kids out of the area and some ended up getting arrested for obstructing justice by trying to break thru police barriers, etc. After the all clear and everyone was allowed to leave the stadium, most students with cars just left for the day, and most of the rest of the students were calling home to have someone pick them up - my grandson included! He was pretty shaken as most of the kids were, and the school excused anyone that wanted to leave and had the means to do so.
Somehow, you never think of something like this happening in the small towns and rural America. Guess it just goes to show you that just because you don't live in the more crime infested areas, that you are immune. Such a sad state of affairs. No one is safe anywhere, anymore, it seems. :(
