"I believe these scares are done on purpose to spread fear, PERIOD. They are a planned political threat to the public and, in my opinion, should be illegal."

The author's belief/fear is not enough to go on. There have been authenticated cases of spreading fear and hate for personal or political gain and it seems to be on the rise. I have heard of two proven cases this year where a black student circulated fake threats against black student in order to get attention (sympathy, peer bonding, and political strength). One was a college female and the other was a middle school boy from one of our local schools.

How many other such incidents are never revealed as hoaxes? We have done this to ourselves by creating a society where victimhood is an honored title, and given special protected status in the political arena.
