MAINE, USA — Maine State Police said Friday they are working with the FBI on a "web based threat received against a dozen Maine high schools."

The threat was received by a Maine business, which then forwarded it to police. In addition State police said they have informed all Maine police departments of the threat and the Maine Department of Education has done the same with all Maine school superintendents.


My kiddos' school is doing a lock in instead of a lock out. I wonder if this is because she reported that she would vote to call witnesses (even though it looks like it will fail anyway)?

It fits into her continuing narrative that Liberals are as violent as conservatives.

But this is all we have to go on right now. I find it annoying that they are being so hush hush about it. This does play into those narratives. The reality is, that although Dems/left wingers are LESS likely than the evil to be violent, we also have some extremists. I don't play by no true Scotsman rules and I won't say it's impossible.
