in Chit-Chat
Earlier a poster said something about shooting a place up and killing someone.

I called 911 and reported it. I just got a phone call from the San Francisco PD and they are investigating it.

    The person who posted it only had the one singular post.

    I sort of shook me a bit. I would hate to see the idiot actually go out and do something like that. The cops called and asked alot of questions.

    Good job. Let them know that even if it was a joke, they'll get in big trouble.

    That was the right thing to do. Maybe he was joking, but it's not funny.

    I really really hope they weren't referring to the giant concert at Golden Gate Park right now :/

    I hope it was just some random idiot that was mad and just joking around.

    Speaking as someone who lost a babysitter in Columbine AND lives extremely close to the recent Aurora, CO shooting...
    THANK YOU.
    There is no possible way you can understand the heartache that you might have just prevented.

    Good job! If it struck you the wrong way, that's a good thing. Everyone's right, even if he was joking (and we don't know that he was), it's NOT a joke in today's world. As a middle school teacher, I try to teach my students this when they jokingly say things like that thinking they're being funny. A lot of people have died because someone WASN'T joking in various situations, and because no one did what YOU just did. :drinker:

    Unfortuantely, with such quick advancements of the internet, people seemed to have lost the sense on how to filter out what is right from wrong in a public setting.

    As a Virginia Tech alumna, thank you so much for taking this seriously. No one should ever have to experience the pain that the victims family and whole community feel and continue to feel after something like that.

    Good thing. I was on the phone trying to call but then the post disappeared. Glad you got through. It looked liked the street address was the same street as the police dept.

    I am not familiar with San Fran. But either way, I felt it was definitely worth a call.

    Wow. Just. Wow. I'm clear on the other side of the country from San Fran and I thank you for getting involved. You may have saved a life (or lots of them).

    Wow. You would think in this day and age people would know that's not something you can't joke about (assuming and hoping they were joking of course)
