i just realized that this is going to be and prolly is all over 4chan... fucking anons

I just checked and I have to scratch my eyes out. Also, he doesn't seem to be on it yet.

What the fuck goes through peoples' minds to do this kind of shit? Just to think people like him are pretty indistinguishable from normal people on Newgrounds, it worries me.
It's scary that someone I have interacted with is capable of such... idiocy.

I think Norfolk is quite possibly the most interesting place in Norfolk. Maybe.

Do you really think it's necessary? See gum's post on page 12 about why keeping the press outta this might be a good idea.

Doubt it will happen. Anything to demonise us Yoofs. Teens don't have anything better to do than torch some buildings and popping caps in asses. Two words: Daily Mail - they will spin this way out of proportion once they get the police release.

I added him on Steam...

HE PLAYS COUNTER STRIKE SOURCE..!!! and a bunch of other random games.
I kinda figured he looked familiar, it says he hasn't been on for three days and his "tag" is P|4gue
hmm...if he makes it through this whole ordeal I'm going to message him.

I can guarantee it will happen. Either the police will release the information or someone on here will sell the story to local news or larger news such as the daily mail.

I'll have no part in it but it will be interesting to watch.

Nobody will be able to sell a story that anyone can read for themselves for free.

Good thing no-one listens to their politically motivated, sensationalist bullshit rantings then.

Well, okay, SOME people do, but.... let's just say I rarely meet them outside of pubs or dole offices. :P

Indeed.

If you find links post 'em.

While I In no way agree with what Sirtom has tried to do, I can only hope that this all turns out OK. He is obviously troubled, and hopefully he will get the psychological help he needs to one day put this all behind him.

I send my condolences to him and his family, and really hope for the best.

You may have brought this upon yourself Sirtom, but I only wish that you be able to climb this hurdle in your life, and get the counciling you need.

Give me a break. Life isn't CSI. I'm SURE they're doing other things while someone updates this thread every 10 minutes.

I don't think it was a waste, even if if was a hoax. You have to teach people they can't fucking go into public places and make serious threats. Furthermore, the type of person that does that should be monitored in an official capacity.

As for the post delete request, I don't think you;'ll have much luck with that. Why does it even matter? Also, you started a discussion... so people are going to quote at least part, if not all, of your post.

:P

He'll probably reply with "LOLITROLLU" "FUCKING TROLLED YOU ALL"

That wasn't a threat.

When I first saw this thread though, I did think that even had he succeeded, it might not make it onto BBC Norfolk. I mean, in a place of such metropolitan buzz, there are so many interesting things going on that a mere school massacre would appear trivial.

Someone spilt mustard all over the floor yesterday. Did you hear?

I don't think you've understood how serious this is.

I'm a newcomer to this thread.

Can someone post a TL;DR version of what happened?

Is TC under custody at the very least?

TL;DR

Some guy posted a threat about bombing his school. Several people called cops. One of the mods (I think it was Rig but I might be remembering wrong) said that the cops apprehended the poster, questioned him, and are holding him overnight.

As usual, people will pin the blame on video games.

OMG HE PLAYED COUNTER STRIKE, THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE REASON FOR HIS VIOLENT ACTIONS.

Sirtom said he's gonna set fire to his school, post's a pic of his petrol.
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.

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.

I love Photoshop.
