Quote:A student's outgoing voice mail message quoting the theme to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" led to a school lockdown in Ambridge, Pa.
The Times Online in Beaver, Pa., explains what happened. A receptionist from a doctor's office called to remind student Travis Clawson about an upcoming appointment. Clawson didn't pick up, so the call went to voice mail.
The receptionist heard what sounded like a threat about "shooting" and "school" on Clawson's outgoing message. Apparently, the message was intended to quote a lyric from the Will Smith sitcom's theme song that goes, "And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school." It's unclear if the receptionist misheard Clawson's message or if the student altered the lyrics.
The receptionist notified police, who notified school officials, who instituted a lockdown on every school in the county. After 20 frantic minutes, authorities located Clawson in the high school's guidance counselor's office.
Police took him into custody and interviewed him. It was then that Clawson explained his message was just a riff on the popular '90s sitcom about a young Philadelphia man who goes to live with his "auntie and uncle in Bel Air." According to Times Online, District Attorney Anthony Berosh said that after listening to the message closely it was determined that it did follow the Quincy Jones-penned song. Clawson was released and no charges were filed.
No word on whether he said "Smell ya later" upon being cleared.
Another success story of the DHS "If you see something, say something" Secret Police campaign. Amazing how the "Home of the Brave" has become scared shitless of its own shadow.

I agree with you, but this all came about during the Bush administration because the GOP needs a boggy man.So complaining about what you created seems hypocritical.

Just more proof you're a complete fool.
Is a boggy man similar to a swamp monster?
As a liberal I agree you are entailed to free speech. U went to UAB but do not know where you were raised or currently live. As someone who went to CNC I am not intimidated.
I lived in DC during 9/11, 9 blocks east of the Capital.Was in Cleveland though at the time. Afterwards I watched DC turn into a military post. I had to deal with checkpoints to enter or leave my neighborhood, unless I was willing to take the long way home. We moved in 2006 to NW Dc to eliminate the hassle. Not just checkpoints, but the traffic disaster, but also when a plane violated the airspace.
You use to be able to walk around the Capital building with great view, that came to an end. Obama did stop the BS police checkpoints on the hill, but he did not reopen the capital building veranda nor Pennsylvania ave. I do agree that politicians are after their own interest regardless of party, but the Dems are less hypocritical.
The only good thing about your man Bush was that her turned NOVA (Northern Virginia), and other educated areas blue.
The GOP needs a boggy man to drive their base, could be muslim, could be gay, could be war on christmas-

Yes, clearly your education served you well.

It's clear that Obamabots like you need to make a "boggy man" to feel better about your continued support of such a failure. That's why you bring up Bush when he has no business being mentioned in this thread. I didn't even mention or try to attempt to assign blame to Obama in the OP (although the DHS initiative I named was started by his appointee). You also have to attempt to paint everyone who criticizes Obama as a Bush supporter to feel better about your unconditional devotion to Democrats, no matter how much like Republicans they become. You really don't want to get into privacy issues such as the TSA, NSA, etc. Bush was lousy. Obama is much worse.

You're not new around here, so you should know that there aren't many Bush fans around these parts. Keep trying though. Maybe you'll stumble on something constructive.

The receptionist did the right thing by calling the cops. The next line in the song is "When a couple of guys, they were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood"
She was just preventing bad guys from making trouble in her neighborhood.

Are you going for a Guinness record of consecutive posts of stupidity?
Seriously just tell us now and we will throw our full support behind you, promise!

Lying POS. Run along now cid, you've got something to sponge off of taxpayers, I'm sure.
Good thing we have those newly reconditioned MRAP's and 1.6 Trillion bullets to deal with this new Boggy Man invasion. Justifies spending those few trillion dollars on homeland security.
