... There needs to be a bit more to this for me to vote in that poll. What happens after the threat? And more importantly, who is it that may or may not be kicked out? _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I voted Not Get Kicked out, but it depends really. I agree, more information does need to be provided. _________________ www.kailahandler.bandcamp.com |

It would definitely depend on many factors. Especially if you're asking because this just happened. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

This did just happen to me and three friends, and after reporting it he did not end up getting kicked out which really pisses me off. He did not get kicked out because apprently the dsiciplinary board at our school said they found inconsistancies within our testimonies which is crap. The threat was serious and direct. He was not joking around or aything. He said he had a gun and if we did a certain thing (long story) he would hunt us down and shoot us. _________________ But I cannot discover any advantage except in honor, in glory, and in right action.

One important thing to consider is that getting kicked out of college certainly won't protect you necessarily. What you should be concerned about is your own safety, not whether he gets kicked out of school or not. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

That actually just happened last night at my school. My old roommate is a heroine addict and was vomitting and throwing a tantrum outside my old apartment and her bf threatened to shoot my old neighbor. She's like some kind of heiress though so the school won't kick her out. I wish schools took things like this more seriously. My school won't kick you out unless you're making bombs in your dorm room which actually happened last year. |

He should definitely be expelled. Have you gone to the police with this? I told the head of the disciplinary board when i met again with her this morning that most likely nothing was going to happen, but if he did pull a gun on people and began to shoot then it would be on her! _________________ But I cannot discover any advantage except in honor, in glory, and in right action.

The media sure might like to know about a school ignoring death threats in the wake of the VT tragedy ... _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

There is a BIG difference between being afraid and being in danger. It sounds like the guy was investigated and they didn't find any reason to kick him out. Maybe you should try to resolve the situation like an adult instead of trying to ruin this guy's life. Trying to use the VT tragedy sounds like a low-blow to me. I was accused of things that I didn't do after the Columbine, so I'm a little sympathetic. If I am wrong here please explain the whole situation. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.
