overseas, indeed.

This is an example of why bomb threats are more than 99% hoaxes. Okay, so the IRA makes bomb threats that they actually carry out.

I honestly can't think of an actual bomb threat that turned out to be real. The rare bombings, like the one at the Boston Marathon in 2015, bombs were set off without advance warnings.

I often wonder if simply not reporting mass shootings, not reporting bomb threat b.s., could possible reduce the repeaters.

Oh, and for what my opinion is worth, the guy who fired on Trump back in July, had no actual political agenda, but just wanted to shoot up some political event and go out in a blaze of glory.
