The death of Gabriel Andrews stunned residents in the Bluegrass State’s capital city. The boy was caught in floodwaters early Friday while walking to the bus stop, police said. After an extensive search, his body was found about two hours after police were notified.
Gabriel’s death sparked questions from some who wondered why the Franklin County school district chose not to cancel in-person classes Friday when strong storms produced flash flooding.
My school had two school shooting threats made the same week, and didn’t cancel school. They just called the whole sheriff’s department to play army at the school. Walking in looked like a scene from a movie in Nazi Germany, guys with guns at the door and dogs barking, APCs outside. I think there was even a helicopter at one point.
Then in March of 2020, we were supposed to come back from spring break, but the school STILL said that there was no danger because a county health offical said so. We almost went back to school until the state governor declared state of emergency and prohibited anyone from going to school.
That’s just life in the USA
I remember in elementary school, they told us not to walk alone and to “zig-zag” to avoid being shot when the snipers were on the loose. They still held classes during that time though even after a kid got shot.

No, it’s called terrorism.

Ok well I didn’t know the background or even heard of this, it just reminded me of a quote
One of the deputies probably made the threats from a burner phone or payphone. Cops love making anonymous calls to circumvent civil liberties.
No they got the kids and found them with their guns
While calling cops to school is a terrible idea, canceling at any bs threat is also not a great idea… There’s a good middle ground somewhere.
There were two made. At the same time.
