It's no joke, mom: Florida teen arrested in school threat

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities have posted a video of their arrest of a 15-year-old Florida boy who allegedly posted an online threat to kill at least seven people at a high school.

Volusia County Sheriff's officials interviewed the boy and his mother outside their home near Daytona Beach last Friday, and posted a video of their discussion to underline the consequences of making school threats.

The boy, whose name is not being used by The Associated Press, told investigators he was joking when he posted the message on Discord using the fake name Dalton Barnhart. In it, he vowed to bring his father's "M15" to Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach and "kill seven people at a minimum."

I think he is the second one in a week to be arrested in Florida. The other one was an adult.

Only a sociopath would think that's funny.

Only a poor parent would excuse it.

A scared parent.

Arresting these stupid people is the only way to get the point across. This is no freakin joke and anyone who thinks it is doesn't deserve to be walking around freely.

Kids joke about shit like that, at least boys do.

Your desire to limit the freedom of other people for no good reason, is noted.

Obviously the police interviewed him and decided it was an angry moment many kids go through in life. He expressed it horribly without understanding the consequences.

I think of the movie Twelve Angry Men when the guy screams to the other guy "I'll kill you" and the response is, "you don't really mean that, do you"?

This is what makes these situations difficult. You don't know who is serious or not, who will snap. Hopefully he learned his lesson, I'm sure his dad is locking up any guns he owns.

You don't think this punk should have been arrested for making threats like he did?

This is not something to joke about anymore.....just like talking about bombs or guns or hijackings at an airport. As the cop said.....this is now the world we live in thanks to all the mass shootings. This is America now.

"There is a Florida state statute that you cannot make a written threat to cause a mass shooting," he adds, explaining that her son would be charged with either a second- or third-degree felony." Good info to know, kiddies, while playing your vids in FL.

Well, it is going to keep police more busy with frivolous activities, depending on the nature of course, this one was particularly specific and outrageous so it needed to be investigated. In the process, they might prevent some potential threats.

But kids are the same. People are the same. YOu want to punish them because of something some else did.


That shows the type of person you are.
