20 Year Old Harvard Student Eldo Kim Arrested & Charged in Connection with Monday’s Bomb Threat … Tried to Dodge Final Exam with Bomb Hoax

So someone at Harvard … this was pretty stupid …

20 year old Harvard student, Eldo Kim, has been charged in connection with the bomb threats Monday that evacuated four buildings on the Harvard campus and caused the cancellation of final exams. It appears that Kim made the false bomb threats in order to get out of taking his final exam. As reported at NBC News, the affidavit said Kim emailed bomb threats to several Harvard offices, including the campus police and the student newspaper, about 8:30 a.m. ET Monday. Kim was scheduled to take a final exam in Emerson Hall 9:00 a.m. on December 16, 2013. The maximum penalties under the bomb hoax statute, are five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.

A Harvard student has been charged in connection with Monday’s bomb threats which shut down four Harvard buildings and canceled finals for many students.

The U.S. Attorney’s office says Eldo Kim, 20, of Cambridge, emailed several bomb threats to offices associated with Harvard University, including the Harvard University Police Department and the Harvard Crimson, the student-run daily newspaper.

Kim will be in US District Court Wednesday.

There will be no winter break for Eldo Kim, except for a stay in the crowbar hotel.

Instead of going home for winter break, 20-year-old Eldo Kim was arrested Tuesday and held overnight on federal bomb hoax charges. He is scheduled to appear in US District Court on Wednesday, according to US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz’s office.

The FBI said Kim sent an anonymous e-mail to Harvard officials, campus police, and others at about 8:30 a.m. Monday warning of “shrapnel bombs” in four buildings.

“[Be] quick for they will go off soon,” the message warned, according to the FBI, which said Kim admitted to adding the word “shrapnel” because it sounded more dangerous.

UPDATE I: Kim Reportedly Admitted to FBI that he was the one who sent the emails.

He reportedly admitted to FBI investigators that he was the one who sent the emails. Kim tried to conceal his identity using one service that assigns people anonymous IP addresses and another that creates an anonymous and temporary email account, according to the federal complaint.

Kim was allegedly “motivated by a desire to avoid a final exam scheduled to be held on December 16,” the complaint states.

UNREAL … Bellevue College in Washington State Offers 7 Gender Types for Applicants to Choose From and Not One is Male or Female

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE COUNTRY I GREW UP IN, Confused Gender Edition.

Bellevue College in Washington state now allows applicants  can choose from seven different options to identify their gender, except for male and female. I kid you not.  The college claims that the question will help it create better services and classes for gender-variant students. Of course it makes the rest of the 99.5% male and female applicants confused as hell.  The college claims that the data is 100% private and not shared with anyone, and for now will only be used internally. Hmm, guess these folks are not aware of the NSA, nothing is 100% private.

Hmm, when you go to the college’s website you are presented with a rainbow colored banner for the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and Queer Student Success Initiative. Just wondering, where is the same one for the straight students?

I Think they need to Update the VIDEO on their site

According to News 96.5,your choices are as follows because we can’t make anyone feel … uncomfortable:

• Feminine
• Masculine
• Androgynous
• Transgender
• Gender neutral
• Other, and
• Prefer not to say

Seriously, what happened to male, female and other? So if you are a masculine, tomboy girl or a slightly feminine male, exactly what are you supposed to pick? Better than that, if you are a male or female, what are you supposed to choose from this list, Other?

COLORADO SCHOOL SHOOTING: Shooting at Arapahoe High School, One Injured, Gunman Dead … Gunman ID’d as 18 Year Old Karl Halverson Pierson

Sadly, another shooting to report, this time from Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado.  The shooting took place on Friday afternoon as the gunman entered the high school with a shotgun at approximately 12:33 p.m., near the student parking lot, he asked for the teacher by name.  During the gun fire, a 15 year old girl was shot and injured and was listed in critical condition at an area hospital. Eventually the shooter  turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. The school is eight miles from Columbine.

A student identified as 18-year-old Karl Halverson Pierson walked into a Colorado high school with a shotgun Friday, possibly seeking revenge against a teacher, and critically wounded another student before apparently killing himself, police said.

The injured student, a 15-year-old girl, was listed in critical condition at an area hospital. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said a second student, initially thought to have suffered a gunshot wound, was actually not injured and only covered with blood from the first victim.

The second student was released from the hospital Friday night.

Robinson also said two Molotov cocktails were found at the scene. One was ignited either “immediately prior to or during the shots being fired,” he said, releasing a “significant amount” of smoke. The second was not deployed and rendered safe.

UPDATE I: The shooter has been identified as 18-year-old Karl Halverson Pierson. The incident appears to be an attempted at revenge against the school’s librarian, Tracy Murphy, who was head of the school’s speech and debate team and who had recently kicked Pierson off the team.

Karl Halverson Pierson was the Arapahoe High School student gunman who shot a student inside the school while seeking “revenge” on a staff member, the Arapahoe County Sheriff confirmed Friday night.

Pierson, 18, went into the school armed with a shotgun looking for the school’s librarian, Tracy Murphy — who was head of the school’s speech and debate team and who had recently kicked Pierson off the team, sources told the CALL7 Investigators.

“We were just in the library doing some work and we heard a loud bang. I thought it might have been someone dropping something, but then I heard two more,” said senior Max Minne. “I knew it was a gun for sure.”

Minne, who was studying in the library during his 5th period class, said he started to approach the front door of the library to see what was happening.

“The shooter just ripped through the door, started yelling, ‘Where’s Murphy?’ — That’s the main librarian of the school. I saw him bust through the door of the library with a gun, so I just took off and started yelling, ‘Everyone get out! Everyone get out!’”

UPDATE II: Arapahoe High gunman held strong political beliefs, but he does not look like a Tea Party member. Actually, he appears to be a socialist.

The teenage gunman who entered Arapahoe High School on Friday afternoon and shot two fellow students with a shotgun was outspoken about politics, was a gifted debater and might have been bullied for his beliefs, according to students who knew him.

 In one Facebook post, Pierson attacks the philosophies of economist Adam Smith, who through his invisible-hand theory pushed the notion that the free market was self-regulating. In another post, he describes himself as “Keynesian.”

Pierson also appears to mock Republicans on another Facebook post, writing “you republicans are so cute” and posting an image that reads: “The Republican Party: Health Care: Let ‘em Die, Climate Change: Let ‘em Die, Gun Violence: Let ‘em Die, Women’s Rights: Let ‘em Die, More War: Let ‘em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?”

Carl Schmidt and Brendon Mendelson, both seniors at Arapahoe High, knew Pierson. They said he had political views that were “outside the mainstream,” but they did not elaborate.

Out of the mainstream, really? Has anyone seen lately what the Democrat/Socialist party has been spewing lately? The PJ Tatler makes a very good observation in that Pierson’s political views hardly seem out of the mainstream for Democrats or so they seem very deep thinking. They are the same as Nancy Pelosi talking points (VIDEO) against the GOP.

But oh the all too common hypocrisy from the LEFT, he mocked Republicans, “Gun Violence: Let ‘em Die,” yet Karl Halverson Pierson takes a shotgun into the high school to cause violence and death.

6 Year Old Colorado School Boy Hunter Yelton Suspended for Sexual Harassment for Kissing Girl on the Hand (Update: ‘Sexual Harassment’ Dropped from Hunter’s School Record)

AMERICA’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAS LOST THEIR COLLECTIVE MIND … THIS IS BEYOND INSANE!!!

A six year old Colorado school boy has been suspended from school for sexual harassment and had it placed on his permanent record for kissing the hand of another 6 year old girl. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! The superintendent at School District RE-1 says Hunter’s record will remain within the district and that Hunter’s actions fit the school policy description of ‘sexual harassment.’ This superintendent needs not only to be suspended, but fired. How exactly can a 6 year old be suspended for something that they don’t even know what it is? Does anyone think Hunter knows what sex is or sexual harassment? Good grief, these kids are in school to learn and these fools don’t think that this should be more of a teaching moment than punishing him and giving him a scarlet letter? Do these educators understand what the word “INTENT” means? I guess this does not meet “Common Core”.

What happened to the country I grew up in? If this is considered sexual harassment or anything other than two 6 year olds being 6 year olds, then a certain 2nd grade girl who I went to elementary school who planted one on my lips under the piano in music class is in for some serious trouble .

From KTLV:

A six-year-old boy kissed a classmate and got suspended for sexual harassment. Now his mom is fighting to get the incident removed from his school record.

“It was during class yeah,” Hunter said. “We were doing reading group. And I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That’s what happened.”

For that, six-year-old Hunter is at home instead of at school.

“I did something wrong,” Hunter said. “They sent me to the office, fair and square. I feel sorry. I’m trying to be good at school.”

“She was fine with it; they are “boyfriend and girlfriend”, Hunter’s mother, Jennifer said. “The other children saw it and went to the music teacher. That was the day I had the meeting with the principal, where she first said sexual harassment. This is taking it to an extreme that doesn’t need to be met with a six-year-old. Now my son is asking questions; what is sex mommy? It should not ever be said, sex, in a sentence with a six-year-old.”

UPDATE I: ‘Sexual harassment’ wording dropped from 6-year-old’s school record.

So he still gets a “misconduct” blemish on his record. I guess its better than this these educators sending this child to prison and making him register for the sex predator’s list.

Cañon City Schools Superintendent Robin Gooldy released the following statement to ABC News: “The parents of the student and the principal met this morning. One of the outcomes of the conference was to change the category of the disciplinary offense from “sexual harassment” to “misconduct”. The student has returned to school.”
