Wild, I had them at least immediately after columbine, if not a few before.

Once I got to middle school things went insane. My school had an abortion clinic literally 6 inches away from the back wall of the school. We had constant evacuations due to bomb threats, and even a real bombing once! I will never forgive those "pro-life" fuckers for scaring the poo poo out of a ton of kids at least once a month. The real one was pretty minor, only damaging the clinic a bit, but that really reinforced the whole "any bomb threat can be real" thing for me.

we had them mid 90s including mandatory metal detectors but it was an inner city I don’t think it was widespread until columbine (rich suburb, white). also I don’t think school shooters were particularly the worry it was “gang violence” or whatever for that period

All post 9/11, plus the real bomb, they'd really put you in jail for that. As far as I know they never caught whoever did it. That said, it was a very very conservative area, and that police department was later dismantled for corruption and selective enforcement.

We started having shooter drills after V-Tech, when I was in HS. It was weird because we’ve always done tornado drills but then one time they changed it and we stopped doing tornado drills and started doing shooter drills. Who can understand anything about this demon nation?

yea, i was in a rural area that got spooked and hired "inner city" school admin for the high school. we were prison-style by '96, strict dress code, no backpacks, handheld metal detectors, no loitering anywhere ever, etc. we didnt have school shooter drills, we got locked in the classrooms for 30min so the cops could sweep the whole building with dogs once a month.

We started having lockdown drills immediately after columbine. The teacher would discreetly lock the door and then a principal would walk around and check to see if all the doors were locked. We also got lots of bomb threats throughout the 90s and then one kid burned down the middle school during summer.

Yeah, I definitely had lockdown drills in elementary school somewhere around the turn of the century, I still remember thinking that it was stupid that there was a code phrase. They'd announce that there was a 'green bag' in the building and then all of the classrooms would be locked and we'd turn the lights off, cover the little window, and hide on the wall where we couldn't be seen thru the covered window.

my high school got a shooting threat once with a days notice so like 2/3 of the kids just stayed home and the 1/3 of us that showed up spent all day playing melee in the chemistry room since there was no way anyone was gonna try teaching with that turnout

"Dude had good taste in guns" - a litteral comment

I assume they're just double-negative misgendering and accidentally getting it right.

our high school had bob threats three days in a row and the NJ record was four so the next day they cancelled school

on Friday the FBI showed up to investigate and they landed a loving black helicopter in one of the athletic fields

I think whomever was doing it got charged as an adult

the only actual bombing I know of in the US where there was a threat first was the Nashville bombing of 2020 and the threat was a trick to get people out in the street for greater casualties (announcement said people had x minutes to evacuate but it went off well before the end of the fake countdown)

I'm no criminologist but I speculate that if someone makes a bomb threat before actually detonating a bomb they're probably part of some organized group that wants to damage property but not people, which sounds more European than American

in America people plant bombs to kill other people and usually a warning would work against that aim

people make bomb threats to irritate or terrify people or to disrupt something like a trial or a sporting event, or even just on a lark

some rural areas have a lot of black folks, and a funny thing about a whole county with one high school is the rich kids don't have their own safe space. couple kids from the golf course neighborhoods go to rehab for crack, local news is talking about gangs in every city within 200 miles, school board meetings got lit
