Threats posted on myspace shakes up San Antonio school

[url=http://www.woai.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=569F4519-73E9-4810-B895-5C2336D6171C] All but 400 of the 3,000 students at San Antonio Warren High School either didn't show up or walked out of class today due to threats against the school posted on a popular teen web site, 1200 WOAI news reported today.

"About mid morning today we were able to confirm that the web site 'MySpace-dot-com' allowed several students to post threatening messages on it's web site, messages threatening Warren High School," Pascual Gonzales of the Northside School District said. "This message said two boys were planning to show up at school with guns."

oh, it gets better....
Gonzales (District school official) said Northside officials will also hold MySpace-dot-com "accountable."

"It just seems to me that if you put up a public web site, and you allow students, teeangers, minors to post their thoughts and ideas, and not monitor it in an adult manner, you are asking for trouble," Gonzales said. "This particular web site has been a pain for all Bexar County schools for a long time now, and it just seems that the owners of MySpace-dot-com should be held accountable."

Lol. That's right, prevent them from expressing their opinions, and instead be unprepared for the shock when they descend on the school harris'n'klebold style :olo:

I truly do hate myspace, but I think this is bullshit and myspace isn't responsible for anything, and it shouldn't be

That's right, myspace.com is clearly a high school murder spree simulator.

What a stupid thing to say. I'd like to know, exactly what kind of "pain" has myspace been causing to "all Bexar County schools for a long time now?"

Yes, instead of blaming bad parents, and shitty kids... let's blame the note-pad that the kids jotted down their idea's on.
