“HOY NO HAY ESCUELA”
All 900-plus schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) have been shut down due to a “credible threat” involving “backpacks and packages left on campuses.”
That’s according to The Los Angeles Times, which is quoting a school spokesman as saying the threat is “still being analyzed” by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
“Hoy no hay escuela,” signs at LAUSD schools read, which of course is Spanish for “no school today.”
More than 640,000 students attend government-run schools in the district. Another 60,000 people are employed by the district – which is the second largest in America.
The threat was reportedly delivered via email – from an overseas account. It allegedly referred to the planned detonation of bombs in book bags and other packages placed on various campuses.
“It was not to one school, two schools or three schools, but to many schools,” the district’s superintendent said.
The shutdown comes two weeks after a mass shooting at a government complex in San Bernardino, California left fourteen people dead and many more wounded.

—- unlike the pranks we pulled off at Dreher High School
Would you give us a hint. We never pulled any pranks at my high school, like putting pigs in the auditorium, chickens in the principal’s office, false fire alarms, etc. That’s probably small stuff compared tp things they do today.
Well, a few I remember —
1) – One morning a box of those super balls fell off of a truck in front of Dreher just before classes started. All day long those balls kept flying through the hallways.
2) – Once a few of us went into an empty classroom of a teacher someone didn’t like and we stacked all of the desks on top of each other in the back corner.
3) – Someone passed out condoms and we wanted to see how long we could wear them during school hours. I lasted about three classes before I got rid of mine.
4) – In Germany, the favorite thing was to smear ski wax, some nasty smelling stuff, on the teacher’s cushion or chair. One kid put it between a few pages of her attendance book, but only a tiny bit. Lucky for us she didn’t notice then which was lucky for us because we couldn’t get the wax smell off of our fingers until after class!
Bible Thumper stuck small pieces of chalk between the felt of all the erasers, so that, when the teacher tried to erase, it made marks instead.
Shouldn’t the officials be more concerned about more pressing matters….like climate change????
The NY police commissioner just refused to shut down their schools while receiving a similar threat minutes ago. What if he is wrong? He claims that not capitalizing the A in Allah is his motivation. What if an illiterate redneck planted an explosive device. Only the children will suffer.
Why are schools having to issue the warnings in Spanish… shouldn’t the illegal Mexican immigrants be required to learn English in school? Fuck the Republic of Kalifornia.
It was written in Spanish so your mommy could read it to you, that is if she knows how to read, or has time to in between blowing black dudes.
That bitch don’t know how to read. Besides, she ain’t got no time as I keep my bottom bitches busy on the stroll, I.e., trailer park, sucking and fuckin, making my damn money!
Se hable Espanol
Please tell me they didn’t use closed captioned or sign language for those who are deaf too.
Speaking of language problems …

An old Norwegian was leaning up against a tree in the old west when a wagon train happened upon him. He kept whittling while the wagon master climbed down and began “Old man, we are all starving, tired and looking for food. Do you know where we can find some?”.
“Vell yah, but you don’t vant to go dare.” said the old Norwegian.
“You let US be the judge of that said the wagon master. What kind of food can we find?”
“Vell dare is a bacon tree over dat ridge dare, but I tell to you, don’t go over it or you vill surely
die.”
With the news of food the wagon master loaded up and proceeded over the hill only to be met by savage Indians who slaughtered almost everyone, but the wagon master. He managed to crawl back over the ridge to the whittling Norwegian and cursed him waving his fists at the old man and screamed “You old fool, you got everyone killed, but me and there wasn’t a bacon tree either.”
“Vait un minute, vait un minute.” said the Norwegian as he thumbed though a Norwegian-English
dictionary. “Uff-dah, yah, it vasn’t a bacon tree, it vas a hambush”.
“theyre-here,” remember the line from “Poltergeist.” And we will never be the same.
These terrorist have crept into our society and they intent upon causing as physical destruction and physological mayhem as they can.
These people doing this may not be Muslim terrorists, but it does not matter, there are other groups that will use the current situation to their advantage.
As a side note, I once had a buddy who thought the movie “Poltergeist” was “Poultrygeist,” and why would someone make a movie about a chicken that lays “deviled eggs.”
My favorite ….

The bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say:
“Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses dey come together. I come again. Two asses, dey come together again. I come again and pee twice. Den I come one-a more.”
“You foul-mouthed people,” the lady yelled. “In this country we don’t talk about our sex lives in public!”
“Hey, coola-downa lady,” said the man. “Imma justa teachin’ my fren’ howa to spella Mississippi.”
The jihadist have won here in America. Congratulations Barrack. Wonder if he would care if it were his daughters’ school?
So tell me what did President Obama do wrong this time? How should he have handled this Hoax? I guess we know what you would have done. Declared it jihadist terrorism and like Bush bombed a bunch of people who did nothing. Typical Repugnut.
Obama has set forth to “change America”. Naïve Liberals thought he meant for the better. What he really meant was to divide the country in many ways including letting more (radical) muslims in to reek havoc upon the country. School bomb threats have been around since I was a kid. Difference was no one ever assumed the bomb threat was from a nut whose religion taught him that non-muslims were basically non-humans in need of extermination.
Whether or not the school threats today were from (radical) muslims, that was your first thought right? America has a problem right now with ISIS cells all over the country, even in Pelion where you live. Why do YOU think we have a problem with this?
The only bomb threat I recall when going to go school was Cuba potentially firing a nuke at us. Seems like school bomb threats became more of a common thing in the 90s.
Only an idiot does not think America is better off today than it was in 2008. You Obama derangement syndrome is showing.
No my first thought was not radical muslims. My first thought is probably some nut or some kid trying to get out of going to school. Just like the school bomb threat we had last year where I live.
But I find it hilarious that you blame Obama for doing something he has not even done. Stop watching Fox. They are lying to you.
Apparently what’s credible in LA is incredible in NY.
The most recent specific bomb threat that wasn’t a hoax that I could find was an IRA threat in Northern Ireland in 1997. The threats were sent because they didn’t want to kill, only destroy property. They communicated with prearranged codes so that they knew it wasn’t a boax. Puerto Rican nationalists did the same thing before that.
There have been incidents of environmental or animal rights groups sending hoax threats or even planting bombs that did not detonate, but I can’t find an example of a threat sent prior to an actual bomb exploding or an actual bomb being disarmed.
I could be wrong. There is no direct statements by reliable sources.
