>"A male-sounding voice on the message indicated displeasure with the school for allowing the After School Satan Club to use the school facilities and then said something to the effect of 'I'm going to come in there and shoot everybody,'" Northampton County District Attorney Terence Houck said.

>Houck said 20-year-old Ceu Uk is now sitting in jail in North Carolina charged with terroristic threats. He said the Charlotte, North Carolina man saw a Facebook post about the recently-approved club before leaving the threatening voicemail.

It’s lede, for what it’s worth. It’s insane to me that they got rid of the club because a jackass in North Carolina called in a threat. Something tells me they wouldn’t do the same if someone threatened the Christian club (not advocating for that).

The only reason they kept it in the first place was because legally they had to. They were always going to can it the moment they had a viable reason.
BeatsMeByDre t1_jajdv9n wrote
What's the viable reason? All I see is a man threatening to kill kids.
defusted t1_jajhmuk wrote
After that idiot did that the school said it was too disruptive to continue.
BeatsMeByDre t1_jajligh wrote
Sounds like the idiot was too disruptive. Why would anyone let that logic slide?
defusted t1_jajm663 wrote
Because the school didn't want it in the first place but they couldn't legally turn it down. This also happened in Florida, a school district wanted to let Christians give literature to kids. Legally, if they were opening up the school to Christians they had to open it to all religions. They stopped the whole thing when a Muslim group and the satanic temple started showing up. The satanic temple made a coloring/activity book to hand out.

Ohhh wait so BOTH groups got shut down? Carry on
defusted t1_jajquqe wrote
I think you're missing the point. They only wanted Christians to be allowed access to the kids but legally couldn't say that. So when the other groups came in because they were legally allowed to the school shut the whole thing down. Just like in this instance, the school couldn't legally tell the group no, so the moment they could make a half assed excuse they shut it down.
BeatsMeByDre t1_jakpx7j wrote
So now Christians also cannot hand out literature or have their group at the school?
If so, I did indeed get the point.

Is it though? Idk, I’ve always thought WFMZ is pretty neutral

The owner really is. He delivers weekly diatribes spouting off Fox News talking points.
There's a distinct difference between the "News" & "Noticias en español" broadcasts. One is free from meddling.

I can't tell if you're getting downvoted because folks aren't familiar with Dick Dean's gasping rants or because folks who support him are very familiar.

They are. Their news focusses primarily on local stories and their presentation of national news is fairly well balanced.

Do you know who would murder a bunch of kids?
Satan would.
EDIT: I was pointing out the irony here of someone complaining about a Satan club by threatening to kill a bunch of kids. If I had to choose between members of a Satan club minding their own business or a Christian threatening to murder kids I’m picking the Satan club every time.
Edit 2: Allow me to explain the Christian hypocrisy further as there seems to be some confusion. The person who called in this threat is acting more like the Satan they believe exists than their savior.
These Christians act more like their version of Satan than anything the Satan Club is doing, which is absolutely nothing but minding their own business.
Wuz314159 OP t1_jahd9r7 wrote
Christians said that they would. They made the threats that closed the school.

I know. I was pointing out that irony of which of those two groups was threatening to murder a bunch of kids who are minding their own business.

Satan kills like what 10 people in the Bible? God's body count is in the millions
HeyZuesHChrist t1_jahlwux wrote
I understand that. But that’s not the Satan these Christian believe exists in our world. These people threatening to kill kids who are in this club are more like their distorted version of Satan than their version of Jesus Christ. If anything the person who threatened these kids is akin to their Satan here and they are too stupid to realize it.

God has killed soooooooo many more kids than Satan has, so you don’t know what you’re talking about

Did you even read my post? You see that big edit? Or did you stop reading before I explained it?
