Disability rights advocates said kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s school threats law. And they tried to push for a broader exception for kids with other kinds of disabilities. It didn’t work.
Back in school we used to play pumped up kicks and make jokes about school shootings. Thats the sort of privilege that people in 3rd world countries dont have.
A third world country is one that is neither aligned with nor opposing the American empire. I’d say the USA is a second world country, because it’s its own greatest victim.
That would be the probable outcome in most other countries, regardless of economic development, I think. Then again, the probability of it being a real bomb threat anywhere else is also orders of magnitude smaller.
My school experience was pretty much bookended by Columbine and Sandy Hook. We fogured shootings were something that could be solved, rather than the inevitable fact of life they are now.
I graduated HS just before the Paducah, KY shooting. Was in college at the time in KY. Managed to get out of college before the first major university shooting too. The entire premise seems bizarre that kids have to have shooter drills the way we had tornado drills.

In the third world, they would not arrest this child and instead have a conversation with the parent.
My joke was that the usa is the worlds richest 3rd world nation.
