This morning a friend of mine received some texts from another friend about how he was going to shoot people in our school and kill himself. At first we thought he was joking but we went to the police and after a 2 hour search and lock down, he was taken into custody. He didn't hurt anyone but as you can tell was on a lot of drugs and armed. Having the courage to warn the authorities even if you aren't sure can save lives.

William Aberhart High School in Calgary today, was that you guys? Glad they caught the asshole

Better safe than sorry. You never know what the person mind is when they start e-mailing like that. Maybe a call for help.

@ThrowawayTwentySev7 which school? I noticed you put canadian crime stoppers first so I imagine somewhere in canada

Me whenever I see anyone make any kind of threat without following it with a "jk"

Good on him, we all need to stop sitting on our hands

2 kids from my local high school planned a shooting for this past Monday. They were stopped by 2 other kids who overheard and notified cops
siemensG
That's the shit people need to stand up for.
theduuceisloose
Well fucking done. And now they have a chance to get back to being a human instead of another worthless tomb stone.
ThrowawayTwentySev7
I'm so glad you said this. The kid isn't bad, just going through a lot and making some crap decisions.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
I need a hint: is Crimestoppers the non-urgent version of 911, or why would you call there instead of the (local) police directly?
SnickerDONTle
I believe crimestoppers is also more like an anonymous tip-line
plaidmoose2
Yup! Canadian here. Crimestoppers is a tip line, it can be anonymous or not, if you are willing to speak with police and file a report.
BerrysONTHEBush
You call them if someone is going to do something in the future. I figured If someone is actively threatening you people would know to 1/2
BerrysONTHEBush
Call the police
turnip001
In Australia, you'd call 000 for a life threatening emergency, Police Operations for attendance and Crimestoppers to report information.
turnip001
Presumably if the threat was imminent, you wouldn't call Crimestoppers.
RockettttMan
You did the right thing

noyougofuckyourself
Sounds like a kid who needs help. Glad he'll be getting it before he did something terrible.
Uglybuck
My kid's high school in Calgary was on lockdown today over death threats
ThrowawayTwentySev7
WAHS? Why are so many of my co-students parents on imgur.
ThrowawayTwentySev7
THIS IS WHERE I HAVE MY PORN DAMMIT
Uglybuck
Yes ABE! we parents are just trying to stay cool and up to date on current trends, it's not working but we're trying.
ThrowawayTwentySev7
I appreciate that. I've probably been rude to your child at one point or another but I'm glad they're all safe
db629
Nowadays it's imperative not take things as a joke at first.
butler12
Was in chat room, bitch started bragging she'd stolen a baby. Wouldn't stop joking. I finally reported. Can't carry that stuff too far.
KevinSpicey
What happened?
butler12
Oh she went ballistic, raged online about how no one could take a joke for a month. Just a moron. I asked her several times r u joking? 1/2
butler12
She swore she was serious, then lost it when people took her seriously.
db629
Pathetic human
Quasinconsistent
I had a friend who did the same thing. Everyone loved him and he told me and one other person his plans. We didn't believe him because 1/2
Quasinconsistent
He was so loved by many and he was always happy and extremely intelligent. The other friend turned him in and the police searched him. 2/3
Quasinconsistent
He had guns and was prepared. It's been a long time since then, he was on his way to becoming a pastor but OD'd on codeine addiction. 3/3
butler12
My God. Dude.
ThrowawayTwentySev7
Yeah it's amazing, my friend isn't a bad person. He felt like he needed to prove something to the world.
LinearAlgebro
Uh sorry but if planning to murder innocent people doesn't make you a bad person, what does?
pandro
Hopefully he was more mouth/swagger vs serious, and having found out what can happen he'll get some help and supervision.

I am commenting at this ultra rare point in time where there is nearly 70 points on this post and not a single comment about the gun debate.
Mackeroy
we don't have a gun problem, we have a violence problem

what gun debate? there really isnt a gun debate..guns for hunting and sports are okay, for police and military olbigatory, for self-defense>
RecurringNightmare
>good, in the hands of criminals, mentally unstable or unresponsible people and kids bad...the problem are the unresponsible and unstable >

GunBros are triggered by the use of the word "clip"
dogsrulearmystrong
yeah. i guess i am a gun bro. wrong terminology. makes whatever you have to say useless
echonite
Not the word, but improper use of said word.
Orion1453
I'm not even a gunbro, just a grammar nazi. Use the correct fucking word it isn't hard.
Arimakura
See something say something
ICarpeYourDiems
It takes an avuncular of drugs to figure out how to use clips with an AR and a .45
ARandomHelljumper
I'm imagining him jamming a 5-round stripper clip sideways into an AR via the ejection port/bolt and laughing my ass off
MidgetRacer8192
you had me at stripper.
Phaggotboy
You use the clips to reload the mags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnEkeQF46n8&app=desktop
MisterLemons
Look up detachable magazine laws for NY. I shit you not, that's how it has to be done now. Stripper into the ejection port.
gad885
Meanwhile in California
ARandomHelljumper
Sorry for DVs, I'm in Cali and totally agree with you. "Ya see kids, this deadly AR-15 is now not dangerous since we neutered the magazine!"
MisterLemons
New York did it too. I don't think cumo realizes how guns work.
RichManSCTV0
I dont think Cuomo knows how anything works
notme222
The thing I love about Imgur is that a guy talks about shooting people and comments focus on him saying "clips" instead of "magazines".
keyblader1985
Huh; that's what I hate about the internet.
MotokoKusinagi
You have a point, but by even mentioning it, you have opened the door to that kind of bullshit - even encouraged it.

Its important.
SilentScreamsX
Because America's gun fetish runs deeper than their consideration for human life. It's kind of the root of all their problems.

Your comment's doing better than the guy who said Imgurians are pedantic...
DaveWesh
I will admit, I dont take much of Imgur seriously and this is the first thing that i noticed so... eh.
BerrysONTHEBush
Ahah I found that funny. My friends almost died today and these people are mad at me because a Canadian teen who is living a messed life 1/2
BerrysONTHEBush
Got mags/clips/bullet holsters confused while threatening our lives. Made me mad but what can you do.
BourbonTurban
He didn't specify what sort of rifle he had though, some automatic rifles will take clips. If we're getting technical. Example : m1 garand
Killrapture
Had to scroll a bit to see those comments, damn it feels good knowing that's a minority of em
HerrFraeulein
When 20+ kids where murdered, gun nuts focused the discussion on the fact that AR15 doesn't stand for assault rifle but for the maker's name
dwilson0725
Well now you know the type of people who say clip... truly dangerous wording.
dms110
I guess he was going to top-load the mag 5 rounds at a time???

guactopus
Ever play a game that involves guns? Its unbearable. I like to reload clips after shooting high caliber rounds from my ar15 assault rifle.
dogsrulearmystrong
not an assault rifle.

This hurts my poor Mosin brain.
zimirken

bbirbb
Well 5.56 is typically sold in clips which aid in reloading. And said clips can be reloaded.. so.. if we're gonna be technical...
Tikityler
Can be sold in clips. Most likely just in a box though.
DreadPierateRoberts
Yep
924Carrera
I wouldn't say "typically." All the 5.56 and .223 I have ever seen and bought has come in boxes. "Rarely" would be more fitting.
bobtheaxolotl
A local class 3 dealer here sells it in clips to load into mags, but everywhere else it's in boxes.
bbirbb
Every single box of 5.56 I've bought (thousands of rounds over multiple brands) has come in clips.
NateintheNorth
There was recently a bomb threat at the HS my younger brother works at. A note in a bathroom, but they evacuated school. Scary.
anthropomorphicrats
In BC Canada!?!? Similar headline in my town recently.
NateintheNorth
Nah father south.
RdizzyC
There are tons of bomb threats all the time in schools, even when i was younger in the 90's we had about 3 a year.
Ulthirm
Yeah but now its closer to 3 a month.
RdizzyC
I mean the total is kind of irrelevant, considering almost all of them end up hoaxes. What is the average number of school bombings per year
RdizzyC
If you actually plan on blowing up a school, you don't warn people.
LeviathAileron
Back when payphones were a thing and caller ID wasn't, used to have 'Bomb Buddies', friends you only really saw during a bomb threat.
NateintheNorth
I work at a k-5 elementary school and worse I've seen is a kid set fire to the bathroom.
RdizzyC
This was in middle and high school.

My impression from my own experiences is it's not the drugs that make people crazy, they're on drugs to feel normal, whether or not its real

and then the downward spiral of the inevitable failed attempts at self-medication making them more crazy, so they self-medicate more...

I want Avuncular of drugs
trigonman3
No you don't. They're just high blood pressure meds and multivitamins.
midsongnipplerub
You want an amount (meeting you more than half way here) of drugs relating to an uncle?
JewishMonk
I have never heard the word "avuncular" before this month, but I've been hearing it every few days for a while now.

If I had an uncle- like man in my life I'd like one full of drugs, also.

Except it's a real word! Covfefes all around!
LevitationHomes
I've seen this word used maybe 4 times in my lifetime of reading, why the hell would this even be in the database for autocorrect?
TheOneWhoDocks
I dont get this and im too lazy to figure it out
chbarts
Autcorrect. "Avuncular" means "like a favorite uncle", but in this case it was supposed to be "a lot of".
TheOneWhoDocks
Hah! Classic! Cheers mate!
PuppyDontCare
TIL avuncular is a word
Showmeyourotters
Thanks for explaining cuz I was super confused by what "avuncular" was supposed to mean
ChillinOnTheWeb
Tylenol, benodril, black tar heroin, the works.

Powder heroin is far better than tar.

black-tar heroin sounds so unhealthy, they should make a 'heroin vape' so the hipsters can be ultra-mellow

You're either lying or Mega Hitler is far less sociopathic than I expected
