Post on 4chan causes all schools in Leiden to close in the Netherlands - Polidicks

Some cunt thought it was funny to post this on 4chan [img]http://i.imgur.com/setsgll.jpg[/img] Which is most likely bullshit since that picture of his 'gun' is from another forum. But meanwhile the police decided to close down all schools in Leiden. The only source I got is social media and the official Dutch Police site (Which obviously is Dutch) [url]http://www.politie.nl/nieuws/2013/april/21/06-leiden-alle-leidse-scholen-voor-voortgezet-onderwijs-en-middelbaar-beroepsonderwijs-morgen-dicht-door-dreiging.html[/url] [b]Quick rough translation of the police message[/b] On Sunday April 21 the police received a tip regarding a possible school shooting on short notice in Leiden, An unknown person has placed a message on an internet site stating he was planning a school shooting. They've decided to close all schools in Leiden tomorrow as safety precaution.

he stole that picture from /k/, i know the dude who has that exact defender good move on the school's part though

He probably used a picture of a different gun to be safe. You can track a person down if they take a picture with a camera or phone camera since it embeds the location in the image.

we're all too old into this world to know you can never be sure. better lose a day of school than risk people's lifes. plus isnt like he can't be tracked.

Things like this make me glad I don't get myself into situations like this. I'd be scared as living hell if the police thought me to be a threat and were on the hunt.

I wouldn't be surprised if people started using 4chan threats to try and get days off school after this.

[QUOTE=Deprehensio;40371939][Quote]stuff[/quote][/QUOTE] Moot still tracks all users and their IP's thankfully. That's mainly so people don't start whining about slander and images and stuff I bet. But he's open to giving information to law enforcement in the past atleast.

Welp turns out MOST of the schools are closed tomorrow, Mine is still open...weird.

Sounds like somebody didn't want to go to school Monday.

[QUOTE=ewitwins;40372277]Sounds like somebody didn't want to go to school Monday.[/QUOTE] what happened to just calling and saying you're sick

Watch it be because some idiot had a test he didn't want to write

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;40372283]what happened to just calling and saying you're sick[/QUOTE] It all comes crashing down when they say "okay but we need a note from you."

[QUOTE=Liem;40372322]Watch it be because some idiot had a test he didn't want to write[/QUOTE] I would consider him pretty clever if he gets away with it

Someone is most likely going to try to pull something like this in America pretty soon, assuming the post was a lie.

Obviously fake and gay. Such a shame schools are falling for it like the suckers they are. [QUOTE=Liem;40372322]Watch it be because some idiot had a test he didn't want to write[/QUOTE] Yup, a student from Leiden reported that there was a test that monday a lot of people did not want to make.

I don't understand closing the school for a day? Or am I just stupid? Do shooters not postpone things like regular people? If something goes wrong the first day, they say fuck it I missed my chance and give up? Not saying this post was real, but seriously. If someone posts they are going to shoot up a school on a Monday and you close the school Monday, what stops them from just doing it Tuesday?

I can already sense the "post some random BS threat against a school on some site" will become the new swatting.

Maybe when I was still in high school I should have made shooting threats on 4chan whenever I wanted a day off

[QUOTE=WhatAmI;40374621]Maybe when I was still in high school I should have made shooting threats on 4chan whenever I wanted a day off[/QUOTE] And then find police force at your front door. Depending on where you live.

Yeah, to be honest I would be pretty surprised if that happened. As long as you weren't an idiot and took some precautions

[QUOTE=Within;40372102]Yeah but let's not gamble with peoples' lives[/QUOTE] This right here. Even if it seems trivial or unrealistic that somebody would go through with a threat, it still remains the fact it is a threat against the lives of many people, and sometimes, [URL="http://newgrounds.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_Briggs"]it actually is a legitimate threat[/URL].
