Over on newgrounds, some kid posted that he intended to take a can of gas, matches and a knife to school and make "Those bastards pay". A bunch of awesome guys who read the thread called the cops and got his ass arrested. He was searched by the police and in fact, had brought the threatened objects to his school.
+1 to the internet!

I just joined because of that. Something similar to this situation happened to GmeFAQs, except the stupid kid actually did it.

This is similar to that kid in Germany who shot up the school a week or so ago.  He boasted on the internet that he was going to do it but no one believed him so no one informed anyone.

These people are just looking for attention. They have to realize that when they post these pictures on the internet and claim they are going to kill or destroy, that they are going to be caught and put in jail. If all they cared about was the destruction, they wouldn't tell the world about it. Its a cry for love, and thats what is sad about all of this.

Someone made a game about it straight away. On the Newgrounds front page, there's an adventure game called How I Buy Petrol? It's pretty funny.

w00t! Go internet!

I love how people admit this kind of stuff. I don't know how anyone can't expect themselves to be reported, especially if they post about doing this kind of stuff on a site with their name and location on it.
