Another YouTube school threat
Man charged over YouTube threat to high school:
And the copycats and mutants continue to crawl out of the woodwork.
A man from Australia is under arrest for posting a threatening video on YouTube against a Sydney high school. But here’s the weird part…
St Marys detectives, with the help of the education department and international agencies, have been investigating reports of a threatening message posted on an internet site last week.
They swooped on the 30-year-old man as he arrived in Sydney today on a flight from Melbourne.
The man, from North Parramatta, was taken to Mascot Police Station where he is assisting police with their investigation.
That’s a lot of traveling that some would defend as a prank. Speaking of pranks, pay heed would be pranksters…
“Any threat of violence against students or teachers is a serious breach of the law and will be treated accordingly.”
He added police would lay charges regardless of whether the perpetrator considered their actions to be a prank.
Police don’t care if you’re joking.

I know the defendant personaly and the reports are painting a sinistar picture of the defendant.
The threat was a stupid prank and an honest mistake, people need to not jump to conclusions. The defendant holds no grudge with his former school and was not bullyed. he used his old school name for the prank, just like you or I would.All the mis info on the internet, just goes to show how scared we all are these days.
