The Kenosha Police Department confirmed Wednesday that the student was taken into custody after making statements that caused alarm within the school community. Authorities determined the threat was not credible, but police said it was serious enough to warrant an arrest.

Lt. Adam Jurgens said “Lance Middle School administration handled everything appropriately… Ultimately, [the school] was correct in their belief that this was not a credible threat, but it still created a disturbance and warranted an arrest.”

The threat was initially reported to school officials earlier this week and involved statements made online. Police were brought into the investigation, and officers ultimately arrested the eighth grader on a charge of Making Terroristic Threats.

  1. No one wants to hear it, but they need to. When you remove morals from a society, it is not a victimless occurrence. Vacuums do not exist, and something will ALWAYS fill its space. Read this site, and ask yourself is maybe there is some merit to this post. You ARE seeing the fruits of tossing morals to the wind.
    Stop wondering….

          1. Because they are still pouting that Trump won and is there president (and that he’s doing an amazing job). I love seeing how hurt their feelings still are 🤣

            1. By we, you mean isreal, is doing great. Still got 50+ million illegals here. Still giving isreal free health care, border security, and we pay for their murder of women and children. We, as the US, Still have millions homeless. We are owned and run by pedophiles.

              1. If you’re not in the cult you’re not going to understand…and nothing will stop their adoration of their pedophile sexual predator grifter crook lord and master. They are the ones deranged but they can’t see that. All while morality decency ethics collapse. Look at it like willing accomplices.

              2. A box a rocks has a higher IQ than you. You state that there are still 50 million illegals here but are probably out protesting their removal….

  2. It’s the great dillusion. They see up as down, down as up. On and on. They think by their exclusion they are the patriots when in face they are anti American. In the Bible it’s referred to as “The Great Falling Away”. Suppressing votes is “saving” America for example. Look at the red hats like the shoes for the Hale Bopp crowd. You’re not going to get through to them…

  3. Take “right to work”. Sounds like it’s for workers when in reality it’s the opposite. They try it with the way they word referendums. Present something you would think is for everyday Americans when it truth it’s the opposite. Fox News has been doing this for decades. Oh, they’ll loose their minds. Call you names. Swear at you. Threaten you. The stranglehold on them is quite complete.
