Wade, Rig and other's call the police.
Police read thread, find his details.
Sirtom get's busted.
Sirtom facing charges for attempted arson.

Woah, 15 pages in 9 hours? Time flies by when you're saving people from a potential killer.

I DECLARE TODAY 'NEWGROUNDS SUPER HEROES DAY'!

Let's give Mr. Tankman a cape today.

You can bet that if this does make it to press, the headline won't be 'Internet Saves School From Savagery!'

There are so many jokes to be made! Norfolk, for one. Let's be honest, it's all very exciting. I for one hadn't posted properly in days, yet I'm probably going to end up shooting my mouth off so much that I'll get hit with the pesky post limit. It's good for something to be happening.

yeah that would be a great game
"make threats on a forum and then pussy out like a bitch" the game oo

if he actually DID it, then maybe there'd be some material

Well, I'm glad this is over. Amazing what the internet can do, don't ya think?

You better hope they don't have a script which looks for keywords.

He said he'd set fire and hurt people.
We all collected and put forward his details.
Police didn't start reading until after he was apprehended (afaik)
We don't know what he's being charged for, however we know he's in over night.

Is that a threat? It sure sounded like one.

Tasteless, but I guess we all saw it coming.

Fuck fuck fuck, Sirtom what the fuck is wrong with you?

GAH

He'd been going on about shit like this for a while, but I never knew he was actually gonna fucking go through with it.

Fuck.

As Zerok has already said, we're going to be affected by hindsight looking for so-called "clues" in sirtom93's past posts. Sure, evidence of him hating his school colleagues will be a factor in his decision to make his "plan", his actual threat that started this thread says that. However, it can't have been the single one decision. I mean, I hated a large majority of my school colleagues, but I never threatened to burn the school down or anything. The most I ever did was a quick, angry insult. Now I'm doing A Levels at college, and the only things there that stress me out are work-related (or me being bad at work-related). I could delve into it psychologically and bring up that I often blame myself for my own problems, but we're going off-topic and boring the officers. Yo, Zerok: I need you over here on a psychology issue!

I'd assume guys like sirtom have a long history of perceiving abuse from their surrounds. Sicking the media on the kid would only mess him up more.

Absolutely. I mean, look at Aileen Wuornos. I believe her last words on film were practically a "fuck you" to the media who had only aimed to make money off her case. Okay, sirtom93 isn't exactly a serial killer prostitute, but the principle is the same I think.

Oops. BRB, going to my safehouse.

Hey shut up.

Ive been sick for two days and decided to check NG.

I need to start being more active. This was a good day.

I love Photoshop.

Would have turned out better if I put more time into it.

And all in all, it was some attention-whoring social experiment by sirtom93. The end.

Or so we shall all hope to say.

Deja vu?

I wonder if the jailtime and adverse effects to his permanent record were all part of his hypothesis.

wow. this is crazy. don't know if anyone else did this, but i remember him asking where to buy petrol a few days ago. here is the topic. thought he was just a pyro, not a crazy guy... wow.

Wow. I just read 16 pages and I must say I am deeply saddened by the loss of another member of our community. Although, I had never spoken to him, I had always thought of him as a pretty smart guy. But this just goes to show that good people can do bad things. I can honestly understand why he would do such a thing. Life is painful, unfair, and cruel. People make life harder than it already is too. Poor guy... I hope he doesn't get hurt...

I'm going to lock my cat in the shower and then beat its brains out.

Bonus points.

This was a good read.

Woah, i left this topic over night, now its huge.

He didn't do it, but has been arrested and is in custody overnight.

And If a bunch of worry wart "Holy shit this happened three times in the lat 10 years, it could happen again, even though we have no proof whatsoever" arse holes would've taken it as what it is - fake, just like everything else on NG - this would never have gotten more than 3 pages.

You lazy "tl:dr tell me what happeneddddd" motherfuckers are starting to get on my nerves.

If you can't be bothered to read it through at least skim it.
