Girl on Kill List At Bryant -Webster School Thinks Author Needs To Be Removed From School?


And one thought it was bad to be on Santa's list. A Bryant-Webster student apparently authored a journal with a "kill list" inside. A fellow classmate who is on the list discovered the journal and brought it to the attention of authorities. The student who was on the list believed this to be a legitimate threat.


Besides a list on names, the journal contained several drawings of girls being hung by nooses. and There were eight people listed to be killed. On the right side of the list were sketches of various weapons. The list was given to police who then turned it over to the school. A threat assessment was conducted by the school and they did not identify a "viable" one. The mother of the girl who discovered the list is upset that the author of the list was not removed from the school.


Denver Public Schools has taken the position that in absence of a "viable" threat they could not remove or punish the student for expressing themselves. Is this just another case of freedom of speech or did the school district fail to take needed action?

I hope this was just a case of a student wanting attention. If she really does want these people dead, I hope she seeks counseling.

Even still. In this day and age any threat is scary.

Did they search the locker and find rope? That's probably still not a threat...

...uhmm, what does it take to be "viable"? If one the school board member's child was a named viction, perhaps?

He's gonna be on a short leash from now on....cause if anything goes wrong, the schools "threat assessors" are culpable.

Got to take this sh$t seriously. Yesterday, there was a shooting at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Larose, La. A student shot himself in the head after firing over the head of a teacher.

the teen had left a note indicating he planned to kill others.Now the teen is in critical condition.
