2nd Friday in a row - bomb threats called in to WalMart stores

 Bomb threats have been called in to several area Walmart stores this afternoon, prompting precautionary evacuations.
 
The store in western Kansas City, Kan., at 108th Street and Parallel Parkway received a call about 1:40 p.m. and was evacuated while police prepared to conduct a search.
 
In Kansas City, North, police said a similar threat was phoned into the store at Missouri 152 and N. Church Avenue at approximately 2 p.m. Store managers evacuated the building as well.
 
The threats are similar to numerous others, including some in the Kansas City area, that have been phoned into stores in recent weeks.

3. They are not a laughing matter

but some folks are indeed laughing as a way to relieve stress... after each and every one of these.

Loli JUST said that you simpering blowhard!

4. no idea what the heck you mean by that or if its what i think the relevance, sorry

nadinbrzezinski (107,261 posts)

5. Fire and police crews

that are responding to these. After the all clear some people are telling rather nervous jokes. As i said, relieve stress. Has nothing more or less to do with it.

Then um...why bring it up?

6. still seems to be an obvious point with no relevance to people calling in bomb threats

whether they are telling dark jokes or not, pretty much would be pissed off if i was responding, working at walmart or simply there to buy some milk. probuably getting to the point were the responders are assuming its a fake threat only hope they are not being set up, but its human nature to switch off if you keep getting deployed on false wolves.

7. Did I say it was relevant to people calling in the bomb threats?

No.

Though to make it relevant to you, whoever is calling them in, IS PROBABLY having a good laugh, watching the massive response.
 
I just noted that to some folks this is the source of a lot of very dark jokes.

2. Expert on humor, it's many forms, and it's effect on the mind.

9. probuably less jokes and more being pissed off if you ask me. having to respond continually to thes

would chafe your loins no end. Lets just hope that its not some elaborate crazy plan by some nutjob.

Please don't ever use that phrase ever again when conversing with Nadaskinnycellinherbody.

12. As a former EMS worker, no, not really

after a while you just start laughing them off, because your other response is NOT healthy.
 
And duds are actually very much so part of the job.

Can't help but wonder what that other response would be...

nadinbrzezinski (107,261 posts)

15. When you have real bombs, which has not happened yet,







And I have to ask, since I did this for ten years in pretty serious conditions, involving among other things real bullets whizzing by... your opinion is based exactly on what? Mine is based on actually having done the job for ten years, and having a few rashes of false alarms, where yes, we laughed it off, where people like you could not see us. We also used to really laugh it off after a major Multi Casualty Incident, fire, HAZMAT incident or shooting\ shootout. But hey, what would I know?
 
But seriously, when they finally find a real bomb, the mood will quickly shift. So far, they have not. Which is a good thing, and a bad thing. It is a good thing they have not, and a lot of folks are going for the really dark humor, you might not get it, but I can count on it. It is a bad thing because yes, even EMS and Bomb Squads and cops can get complacent with the boy who cried wolf too many times. That is the down side of this.
 
The other down side, is that on a very serious matter, somebody MIGHT be testing the response to find holes. That is the OTHER down side.
 
But if you think a lot of these folks are not doing what they are doing to decompress, I gotta a wonderful piece of beach front property in AZ... I speak, on this one, from real life experience

  I'm just so sick of her. Out, and out sick to death. So, in reference to this DUmmie thread, I'll leave you with a song.

This is the song that never ends,
yes it goes on, and on my friend.
Some people, started singin' it,
not knowing what it was.
And they'll keep on singin' it for ever just because...

Looks like the teabaggers hate Wal Mart now. 

[Bad Dog]

In the short time I've been on this forum, I've come to believe that people may have actually shot at Nadin.  Just not in the course of any particular activity like war or gang fights.

[Skul]

If I didn't love my mole so much, I'd have him beat the carp out of her.

Every time she opens her yap, something is fishy.

[Revolution]

^ You think it's fishy when she opens her mouth...

23. You can think whatever you want to think

You are an ignorant on this matter in ways that are just damn impressive. And cannot accept somebody else can or has been there done that. For that you are a poorer person.
 
And yes, it was very different from American EMS. American EMS will NOT allow crews into places we were asked to go to.
 
And damn it SKINNER, this guy cannot go to the FRACKING IGNORE LIST.

Anybody know if there's a limit?

[Skul]

Heh, Loli lit Gnads fuse.  
Here we goooo...

11. One of the threats in California was by a guy my ex used to work with...

And he was arrested. they set his bail WAY too low at 10,000 (though I'm hoping the newspaper confused bond with bail, and it was actually higher.) If he was Middle Eastern, he would have been held no-bail.

Anyway.. people were commenting, that didn't know him, like he was some OWS left winger who hated Walmart.

No.. actually he's a hard core right wing, religious christian, who was apparently angry that Walmart will be selling birth control, now that the health care law kicked in. I have a feeling that this is the M.O. for these guys.

22. False-flag operation

Not terrorism, isolated incident, Bush's fault.

Edit to add the latest.

[Kyle Ricky]

What a crock of crap. Those threats have OWS and left wing lunatics finger prints all over them.

[Airwolf]

Ahhh she hit her limit on Iggy. To bad so sad..........NOT.

2nd Friday in a row - bomb threats called in to WalMart stores

I would round up all the likely suspects in the area and subpoena their phone records.

You can start with union members, Democrats, and liberals.

[Kyle Ricky]

Ahhh she hit her limit on Iggy. To bad so sad..........NOT.

I wonder what the limit is? She has to have at least 9/10 of the board on it by now.

[Revolution]

I assume she's already sent a PM to $kammer about increasing the amount she can put on the list. I'd let her know that a little later when she has nothing else to do, she can go **** herself.

[Skul]

If Gnads drops an iggy, does she get a new one in return?
Does she need all the paperwork and records to cover the dropped iggy in order to get a free one?

[Kyle Ricky]

I wonder how people are ignoring her? Probably as many as she has on her list.

[JohnnyReb]

Nadin....ignore expert.

[redwhit]

I guess the ignore never really took.  Here she is explaining, well, something international

63. Here is the problem the FBI has NO JURISDICTION in Mexico but you knew that

View profile
If they recommended a CCW, most people without Reading Comprehension issues, would understand that applies ONLY in the United States. Clear enough, or are you still having problems with reading comprehension.

I know, I know, people have never, ever in the history of US Mexico relations, worked in one country and lived in the other. NEVER.



Oh and we all know the cartels ONLY stay in Mexico... really

Another {sarcasm} is deserved here.

Nor would the matters involving them cross the international border.

Third

But your logic, you know far more about MY life than I do...

Also you know far more about EMS than those of us who ever did it for real. Unreal.

Are you that ignorant or just pretend to be? You said you wanted to learn something... it looks to me like you really do not want to learn a thing...


By the way, I loved your call out bro.

Pssst.  This is in the sooper sekrit meta forum so don't tell anyone that you can see it.

Hmmm, I'd have to be a member, but don't care to go through that. Maybe another time I'll create myself another moley-mole.

I didn't think the unterprimitiven called the all knowing one out. However, THIS is a definite call out. Is that not against DU rules? It's amazing this knows so much, and yet, can't keep the simplest of rules in her head. I think Frank should send out another e-mail.

I love dark humor======101 things to use a dead cat for====

Seems when people are really stressed they NEED to laugh, say 3 Stooges, anyone.  Anyone remember Mary Tyler Moor at the funeral for Chuckles the Clown ?

Sometimes dark humor just comes out, at Dads funeral reception I told my husband to take off his suit jacket as people would think he was the under taker. Dads Sister started laughing and had tears in her eyes. 

MASH was full of dark humor, only thing that kept the doctors and nurses sane.  Humor is the shock value that causes a laugh.  The worse the situation the more humor is needed.

I have never allowed Hogans Hero's to be played in my home as I find nothing funny about a POW Camp.   However millions of people loved that show, laughed their Ass off , I could never understand that.

In this case I believe Nads is right on.   People around death be they first responders or doctors and nurses cannot deal with the horror they face without some kind of humor to release the tension and release the endorphins that bring one out of a bad funk.
