Centennial High Threat

Student Arrested After Web Threats:
We have yet another kid posting a hit-list on MySpace. This time from Centennial High School in Roswell, Georgia…

Police say a troubled student at Centennial High School in Roswell said he was tired of being picked on. They say he made an internet threat to stage a Columbine-type attack at Centennial next month.

According to investigators, he even included a hit list. The list and threat were posted on MySpace.com, a popular social networking web site.

The 16-year-old�s screen name was �Centennial Outcast,� but the teen�s threats were taken very seriously.

�It had a picture of a blue background, but with no picture of the person,� said sophomore Brittany Coffman. �In the �about me� part, it said how he was going to kill O.P., who is our resource person, and a couple of teachers. And it was talking about how he was going to kill everyone in cliques. And the football players and all that stuff.�

Some students contacted the school resource officer, and some parents contacted police. Through a joint investigation, they found out who wrote the threats, and arrested the student at his home Wednesday night.

So he was planning his attack for next month. That wouldn’t have been planned for the 20th by any chance?

Anyway, kids if you’re being bullied I empathize with you. However posting threats and hit-lists are not the way to go about it. Have all the threats, and plots, and hit-lists, and killings solved the bullying problem? No they haven’t and they never will. The only things those kind of actions will get you is either locked up or killed. High School is only four years. Jail can be longer. Death is forever. It’s not worth it.
