milehiiu Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 .... as we approach the 20th anniversary of Columbine. An 18 year old women from Florida, infatuated with what happened at Columbine. Flew into Denver on April 16. Bought a weapon. And some reported seeing her outside of Columbine. She is thought to be somewhere in the foothills. FBI recommended the closing of all major Denver Metro Schools for April 17. Private schools also. That's hundreds of schools. All major Denver-area school districts cancel class Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured this might not be of interest to most folks. However, I know we have several members that are teachers, and thought it might be of interest to them. Unprecedented closure. Largest non weather related closure in history for our area. Just heard, on one of the tv stations..... over 500 thousand students out of class today, due to the threat.

Also Z. If the woman who caused this closure is truly 18 years of age, that would mean she was not even alive when Columbine happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 The story is on the South Bend news right now. Not to be weird or anything, what are they gonna charge her with when they catch her? (Assuming she never fires a shot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Assuming she never fires a shot) Assuming she's made statements about her intentions, then traveled to that area and purchased a firearm, some type of conspiracy to commit crime should fit. Not saying it'd be a likely conviction, but it'd be enough to charge her with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado had to change those a couple of years ago in conjunction with certain other laws, or else every Cheetos truck driving through would be guilty of the same.

I was thinking of posting over half a million students out of class, and typed in over 500 million instead. However, you are correct. I got to Colorado in 1970. It is nothing, population wise, like it was then. Entire cities have grown up or did not even exist back then. Highland's Ranch, South of Denver, being one of those cities. Used to take my son when he was little there, to watch buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Every, and I mean every law enforcement agency throughout the entire Denver Metro Area, and into the foothills had been involved in either the search, and or stepped up protection of most every school in their jurisdiction. Sad that it ended this way. But glad that it is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools are supposed to be safe places. I have posted this before. That my son who was a High School Sophomore at the time of Columbine, attended the funerals of three Columbine kids. My son went to a different school, but knew these kids. And every April 20th, begged us not to send him to school that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There shouldn't be such a negative stigma associated with them when a significant portion of the population is dealing with them in some form or another.
