College teacher fired for joking about bomb Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - Find Articles

How seriously should a threat be taken?

The seriousness of a bomb threat is self evident because of the potential for widespread destruction that can be wrought by a bomb, compared to other weapons that are usually aimed at particular targets.

However, if, as we have noted already, 90 percent of bomb threats are hoaxes (either there is no bomb at all or the “bomb” is a fake), how seriously should the threat be taken? Since the extent of disruption caused by bomb threats is considerable whether the bomb is real or not, all such threats are often responded to on the assumption that a real bomb does exist.

In fact, the law throughout the United States tends to treat false bomb threats almost as severely as real bomb threats† and makes little exception for juveniles. Yet in the hurly-burly of the school setting, many threats are made in the normal course of the day among students and between teachers and students, some of which allude to explosives.

The majority of such threats are never reported to the police. For example, a student states to his gym teacher, “All jocks deserve to be blown up.” The seriousness with which to take this threat depends on how it is delivered. If the student was laughing or joking, the teacher may pay no mind to it. If made by a student with a history of such pronouncements, the threat may be taken more seriously.

It is therefore important for schools to develop a response plan that includes criteria for making assessments of seriousness and for adopting responses commensurate with that assessment (see below).

† Making a false bomb threat is a federal offense punishable under United States Code 18-844(e), with a penalty of up to 10 years in prison, $250,000 fine, or both. This penalty also applies to juvenile offenders (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 2003).
However the majority of juveniles are prosecuted under local and state laws, which increasingly provide severe penalties.

“We’re in a different world now,” Naso said. “What’s different about this week from four weeks ago is that you wouldn’t have had students who were quite so sensitive. The behaviors themselves would have been no more acceptable four weeks ago than it is today.”

According to Naso, the school had held an assembly to highlight security concerns earlier in the week, which he believes may have prompted the students to come forward regarding their classmate’s remarks.

“We considered this a serious situation,” he said. “Any time a youngster is talking about something that could result in ultimate harm in a community, this is something we take seriously.

“These aren’t pranks anymore. Our teenagers need to understand that this is no longer acceptable or tolerable in our society any more.”
In a statement, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office officials said they have a "zero tolerance" policy for verbal threats and threatening conduct.

If you want to get technical, they were merely jokes, I wasn't serious. They can't arrest me for making a joke.

You actually said this?

"Jokes" like that aren't taken as ha-ha funny. As an example, we've once had to call the cops 'cause an employee overheard someone "joking" about jumping the counter and trying to take some Percocets. We had plenty of cops quick. And the jokester didn't get off so easy.
Shit like that is taken seriously. If you think laughing at authority is a joke...then...sheesh, Matt...get real.
 
Then again this is the school that had me arrested for "battery" when some kid told them I picked him up with one hand and threw him into the wall(300pd kid..yeah no) when all i did was push him out a door that i opened for him and shut it behind him. Man this brought back bad memories god i hate mhs.

Seeing as I went to that high school before you did all the teachers in that school have been thoroughly desensitized. Especially Kaplan. Both of them.

Agreed. I think it's because it's exactly that, Middleburg High School. Too much drama happens, the teachers can tell when we're joking. I was joking about shooting up the school, nothing happened. Last week, a kid seriously said he was going to shoot his ex's new boyfriend, and then shoot the witnesses, and he's already been expelled.

Nancy, on the subject of the drug jokes, those happen here too. In fact, some of our teachers take part in the jokes! Freshman year, I had Mrs. Darby, and she said to one of the kids in our class, "Either stop smoking pot or give me some so I can understand what you just said!" :24::24:

TLP, was Mr. Sarentino(SP?) a substitue when you went to MHS?
