Kaboom!

Authorities evacuated Calhoun County High School in Cardin, Ill., after finding a threatening note in the women’s restroom. “KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im tired of all the people here,“ the semi-literate letter said. “Everyone is going down, the school will b n flames.” The typed letter continued, saying faculty did nothing to help others. “If I had certain names I would not have the truble I do,” the letter said. “Don’t matter, this place sucks and will not be here for long. So long and GOOD-BYE!!!!!!!!!” No bomb was found, and police eventually arrested Michelle Lynn Smith, 36, for allegedly typing the letter. Smith, a 13-year teaching veteran, faces federal charges of conveying a false threat. (MS/Chicago Tribune) ...GOOD-BYE! ...and good riddance.
