baboom

I suppose I shall be the first to post about this: At approximately 1240, school time, the first alarm began chirping loudly. ( yes, it chirps ). After being outside for about 3 minutes, a police officer came flying in. Clearly, something was amiss. Two minutes later, 1245, we were all herded into the tennis courts where we stayed for about 5 minutes, at which point we were corralled in the area behind the tennis courts. By that time, rumors were spreading quickly. The most popular, of course, was the bomb threat idea. We left the area behind the tennis courts at about 1315, at which point we stood around at the student entrance for five minutes before being herded into the old gym. Then came Trogisch’s Address to the students and faculty. There had been a bomb threat. Three teams searched the school for suspicious objects, which leads me to my next comment… They don’t search backpacks… If someone put a bomb in a backpack, it would apparently be overlooked because a backpack is not suspicious… In is speech, Trogisch vowed to catch the prank caller before the police. ( Kind of makes me think O.J. ) I do wonder… what will he do with the person? Torture him? Put his arm around his him? ( eeek ) He values our learning time far more than us. For someone to disrupt that learning time is unspeakable.

    Yup…funny part was my step-dad (also know as Gary the janitor) told me that the “three teams” consisted of Him, Paul (the other Janitor), Officer Beauchmin, Trogisch, and 2 other guys….and they were only told to “peek in each classroom and look for suspicious objects” I am seriously surprised that the place didn’t blow up while we were all in the gym…

    That would explain why I didn’t see Trogisch the whole time… It is a wonder it didn’t blow up. When Trogisch said three teams, I kind of assumed he meant three “trained response teams” (the police kind). Nice to see how seriously bomb threats are taken around here…

    its pretty sad that that is how our school is run but untrust worthy facilty.things like that should NEVER NEVER happen like that.(i mean the “three team thing)

    Trogie is messed up…the phone call probably said
    “we will not blow up the tennis courts”

    i mean really…being 100ft away from the school in a big metal cage is not going to save the entire student body from being blown to smitherenes (sp?) or from flying shrapnel that is inevitable after a building of such amazing structural integrity is blown apart by a bomb…

    the police probably just went into the bakery and had themselves a nice scone
