One of two things must be true.
1. Things were always this bad, and the media never covered it for some agenda, but now it's time to strike while the iron is hot so they shove all the fear porn propaganda out now to get what they want.
2. Things are suddenly bad now because of some external factor. Copy cats, glowies, mass depression from lockdown woes, economic issues.

Arrests are probably because cops are on-edge from Uvalde and don't want the next one to happen in their hometown.
I mean, when I was in high school there was a shooting threat (tiny town, tiny school) and I think the kid just got sent to the alternative school (don't know if those are common. Kid gets kicked out of school, so they go to troubled kid school basically).
Had to deal with metal detectors for a few days (got a bunch of free knives from bus riders throwing them out, it was a redneck school), but the only reason I even know what happened was that my mom worked at the school. There were rumors, but no arrests and no news coverage, even in the local paper.
Edit: Buried the lead there, but what I'm saying is high schoolers making retarded threats is common, probably more common after a nationally recognized shooting, and in the past you tried to keep them quiet.

I want to know what they were charged with exactly. Conspiracy to start a riot? You don't know that. For all the cops know they could have just went there to protest.

They have that here. In Levittown, Division Avenue HS is known as the better of the two high schools. Anyone that starts shit or is too much to handle in there gets sent to Macarthur High School.
EDIT:
Here's a vid from one of the incidents here on Long Island

Definitely yes lol that is a combination of a few indoctrinated children and faculty using them as props.
I'm sure majority of the kids just wanted an excuse to be not in class and the faculty have the backing of the teacher's union and school district and the Democratic Party.

My dad lives in Allentown (no we're not Latinx). He's always talking to people at gas stations about the high gas prices due to Biden. Says he runs into a lot of idiots who still think Biden's doing a good job.

Some parts of Allentown are actually pretty nice once you get away from the Whitehall areas.

Allentown does have some beautiful areas. His...not so much. Was nice a long time ago though.

Not sure if it's been commented upon yet in this thread, but only ~19-20 million people decided to watch the 1/6 hearing. Of that number, 15 million viewers were over the age of 55. For context 38 million people were watching Biden's State of the Union in March. I guess it's not entertaining enough?

One time in HS, we were on one of those "field trips" where they take us to dead-end job fairs and a kid from another school made a post on Snapchat (?) implying they'd like to bomb the event because it was boring, so we all got evacuated and bussed home prematurely. It was a multi-school event. Because a kid who is currently at this boring event is going to have the means to make a bomb.
I've been out of HS for a few years now but I've heard of multiple threats happening to the point they go into lockdown mode or call school off.

I just wanted to say that this NYT piece is absolutely underrated. Genuinely insightful reporting into what swamp creatures are currently thinking right now.
>Cristóbal Alex, who was a senior adviser for the Biden campaign and was the deputy cabinet secretary in the White House until last month, said Mr. Biden was the only Democrat who could win a national election.
>“I am worried that leaders in the party aren’t more aggressively touting the success of the administration,” he said. “The narrative needs to shift, and that can only happen with a powerful echo chamber combined with action in Congress on remaining priorities. The American people feel unsettled.”

And the mask comes off. They want an echo chamber, and Brandon is making that difficult to achieve because he's doing such a piss-poor job.

Unsettled is putting it so Democratically mild. How's about damned pissed off, betrayed and angry as a better choice of words?

Obviously "troubled." Yeah, I'm done with that excuse. Show no mercy.

Protests against these senators need to start. Make sure everywhere they go they get called names and are shunned. Treat them like they treat the voters.

Read the press release about it. If they hold to it there aren't many problems. The biggest issue is that if it passes citizens 18-21 will have enhanced background checks for assault weapons, which the wording makes me think is permission from the sheriff to buy them.

Some coach in the NFL questioned the narrative and then cucked fast.
Its not like the Redskins will find anyone better on short notice.
Got to be on the lookout for any riders as it isn't fully finished yet.

I ran into an older couple yesterday who are moving to Singapore for work. The wife was super excited to be leaving the USA because of how dangerous it is with all of the guns and was looking forward to living in a place where freedoms were curtailed for "the good of all and everyone". The loss of freedoms weren't really a big deal for her.
Ignoring the male/female freedom/security thing, it confirmed for me that the US cannot and will not remain united. The gap in core values is way too far apart. Anyone, anyone, that would exchange freedom for security is un-American. That whole idea is fundamentally un-American. Ben Franklin explicitly stated it. But, that's atleast 30-40% of the population that believes that. You cannot live with a fundamental difference of belief like that.
