Shooter scare used to keep kids locked up to search for drugs



Jeez, that is some fucked up shit to do to kids! I hope they get sued, just to kick out this dumb idea from the heads of other so "intelligent" school administrators!
 
I mean if they are willing to lie about whats going on why not just plant some drugs for the police to find?
 
They did something similar to us when I was in high school 10 +/- 2 years ago. While it was never expressly stated that there was a shooter or something on campus, we were put into what they called a "lockdown mode" where no one could leave class that was [supposedly] designed for the purpose of when there would be someone on campus there wasn't supposed to be, etc. They would call them drills afterwards, but we would see drug dogs walking down the halls occasionally.
 
This is like a microcosm of national government. Make up a nebulous bogeyman. Use fear of bogeyman to control populace.

Anytime someone tries to declare war on an abstract concept, you can be sure this sort of bullshit will follow. The wonderful thing about concepts is that they're nebulous. The politicians can decide whether it's time to declare victory to boost their ratings, or keep fighting to keep the populace scared & compliant.
 
I wondered if they went out and searched the teacher's cars as well.. My guess would be no.. But if they had done that when I was in high school 20+ years ago they would have found plenty of teachers with pot.. We had one security guy back then that would let you go if you gave him half your stash..

This...EXACTLY. If I recall, this was right around 9/11 and a lot of those school shootings, etc. "Lockdown" mode was ridiculous and we all knew/saw the local PD sweep the halls with their dogs. Also the same time when all our school started getting "School Officers"...like a member of the PD that JUST works in the school.

First time they EVER did this lockdown BS at my school, I happen to be sitting in classroom right across from my locker. I hear commotion outside the class (cant see anything, door is locked, etc)...THEN dogs barking and scratching metal. THEN a knock on the class door: "Excuse me, is Mr. jsherloc in this classroom, we need to speak with him immediately" says our school VP at the time.

Long story short, dogs went crazy at my locker, have to stand there while principal and cops search my shit. I was smart enough even back then to NEVER bring anything onto school campus, but my bookbag I'm sure had a nice aroma for the dogs to go on. I actually ended up OWNING the principal/vp at the time as they made a huge ass deal parading me around the school basically, calling parents, etc. Funny looking back sitting in the office with 3 DEA douchbags, my dad, the local PD, and the principal.

I wasnt even smoking that consistently at the time, I denied everything and actually told my dad to take me to get tested, as they were all being dickheads "we know you smoked this morning, just admit it...who are you buying it from?" the police chief was sitting there actually saying i was being an asshole immature kid and didn't know the effects of marijuana like he did. LOL seriously classic shit. i was fucking pissed, and my dad was even getting pissed i could tell...they were just being assholes straight up.

i end up leaving school, PASSING a urine test (def had to have been CLOSE as a mofo seriously..luckily i was a skinny shit running 5 times a week then too), bring the urine sample BACK into school at the end of the day and laid it on the principals desk like a boss.

needless to say, after speaking with both the vp and the principal and listening to them apologize endlessly for their accusations and the DEA/PD name calling, interogatting, harassing, marching me through the halls and cafeteria, etc.....

I WAS UNTOUCHABLE THE LAST TWO YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL....and I loved every minute of it. :cool2:

also, if i recall, they were much more "careful" about how they did these drills after that event, as it basically blew up in their face.
 
where are you, canada?

like i said, this was a weird time for most US highschoolers during this time period in general too (with the shootings, 9/11, on campus cops, etc)...those lockdowns im sure increased over the years.....i dont really know if some areas are still heavily like that here though (like in the article) or if they kind of fizzled out those types of practices, etc? i want to believe it doesnt happen that often...but i dunnnnnnnnno.

i forgot to mention they ended up dragging my then gf into as well as she had given me a ride to school that day, tore her car apart with dogs, called her parents, put me on blast "you might not want you daughter around such a deviant" and such. luckily her parents were cool people and actually got pissed at the PD, school, etc...

but yeah, if you're in Canada, aren't they trying to do something with mary related mandatory minimums up there now too? 2012 will be VERY interesting here in the US in terms of marijuana. the feds are getting NERVOUS about California and Colorado especially....i'd imagine Colorado has a prop on the books for full scale legalization as does California. A lot more of the medical industry will be on board atleast here in Cali as well (unlike with the last proposition that failed at 46% i believe).

Now they are saying the guy up in Oakland cannot deduct business expenses/has to be taxed on gross revenue, etc ridiculously DESPERATE shit.

it does scare me though, just because i have this creepy feeling occupy will keep gaining steam with violent crackdowns popping off, some people end up getting killed (repubs will shout this happens while under Obama's watch etc), then obama will keep pissing off the liberal base and Romney will get elected in a close race RIGHT in the midst of these states passing/attempting to set up recreational legalization/regulation/taxation/etc.

i dont see how a romney administration will help the marijuana regulation/taxation movement in anyway. honestly though, i might be outtie if Romney gets elected regardless. YIKES thats a whole other thread.

It was a common thing back in NC. I was in HS 10 or so years ago and remember being on "Lockdown" ever other month. YaY for gangs in our school.
