My high school used to get a few bomb threats a year. obviously some student didn't want to have classes, but whats the motive behind these? Or are they all coincidence? i bet its some evil Walmart scheme.
Ah a conspiracy theorist! I just think it was a disgruntled worker or something like that though. But these days conspiracy theories seem to be right on about many other things.
