Idiots costing us with every bomb hoax

March 18, 2013 |
It's Monday, March 18, and I have just pulled up
News Bonners Ferry on my computer and once again
read the headline "School Bomb Treat Called In."
I am just an ordinary resident of Bonners Ferry,
I have no children attending school. I am not
privy to any of the 'inside information' that
may be known to school officials or local law
enforcement. I really don't care about 'privacy
data' regarding under age students.
Every time I read of another such incident I
think of the officers and firefighters who have
to respond. Many of the firefighters are
volunteers, so they have to leave their jobs and
drop anything else they may be doing to respond.
The officers are pulled away from their normal
duties or become less available to respond to
other emergencies that may occur.
I think of the costs involved to the county, the
city and the school district. Which, by the way,
all of us ordinary residents are actually
paying.
So, having said all that, what I want to see as
an ordinary resident of Bonners Ferry are
charges filed. If help is needed from state or
federal agencies to make this happen, then let's
get it.
The kids, adults or families involved should
face charges. Including the people who may know
what's going on and just aren't saying anything.
It's time this craziness stops.
I do not doubt our local law enforcement members
or their abilities. However, I can't help but
wonder, because this is a school situation, why
tougher actions aren't being taken. I may be
totally wrong here and if so I apologize to all
involved.
But, this has to stop and those idiots who are
costing the rest of us money every time this
happens need to pay. |
