California student in custody after email warned of mass school shooting
a 12 year old student has been arrested for sending an email to a school administrator warning of a mass shooting. This email was sent on Thursday and stated that on Monday February 11 that 23 students and a teacher would be shot. In light of recent events this threat was obviously treated very seriously. The police identified a suspect and executed a search warrant on his home and in the process confiscated several servers, rifles, handguns, and ammunition. The teacher who wishes to remain anonymous for their own safety says that they are on “high alert” after receiving the email. The student was taken into medical custody to evaluate his condition and it has been determined that no one else was involved in the threats.

Terrorist threats executed or not are considered felonies in the state of California and the district attorney will review the case.

This is an example of what I believe is a psychological chain trigger. The media hype about the recent mass shootings has triggered dormant murderous tendencies in mentally unstable people, driving them to at least consider action. It is my hope that I am incorrect about this trigger because if I am correct then there could be an influx of mass shootings in the United States of America regardless of gun control laws.

President Barack Obama says that the boy scouts should be open to homosexual individuals.

For the BSA national executive meeting this week, President Obama has advised that the Boy Scouts open their door to gay and lesbian persons. President Obama states that the Boy Scouts are "a great institution"  and that  “no one should be banned from that.” The Boy Scouts had announced its intentions to consider altering its longstanding ban on gay and lesbian individuals at the next executive meeting. The white house has said before that it opposed the boys scouts denying entrance to homosexuals. The announcement to reconsider has sparked mixed different responses among different factions. The more liberal factions have expressed adulation whole the more conservative side has shown alarm. I have been a member of the Boy Scouts of America for 9 years. I can see how those in favor of gay entrance into the Boy Scouts of America, but the biggest problem is the increased risk of problems developing with sexual harassment. On this subject I have heard various parental conversations between the parents of Boy Scouts in my troop. They state that they would not want a homosexual individual staying overnight alone with their children.
