A Washington state school district was put on lockdown Monday after a high school student reportedly threatened to shoot classmates who walked out in support of a transgender student who’d recently been assaulted.

Local news outlet KOIN reports that last week, a student at Kalama High School in Southern Washington state, about 40 miles from Portland, Oregon, assaulted a trans male classmate in a school hallway as students were leaving for the day. The trans student was on the ground, and the assailant repeatedly kicked him with steel-toed boots. The injured student reportedly sought treatment at a hospital and has returned to school.

On Monday, dozens of students walked out in support of their trans classmate and to protest what they say is the school’s inaction in response to homophobia, sexism and, uh, “incidents of Nazi salutes in classrooms and locker rooms.”

It was during the walkout that the student threatened his classmates. The Kalama Police Department wrote on Facebook that a male student told another classmate that he wanted to aim an automatic machine gun at the demonstrators. The witness didn’t see a gun, but still reported the comments to the school. The police said they questioned the suspect and will forward criminal charges to the county prosecutor.

....

More QOP terrorism at work, aimed once against the LGBTQ community. All the bigoted bills, all the hateful rhetoric, all the "thought exercises" on whether we should be treated like human beings or have rights... Each and every bit of it is fueling the hatred, the threats, and the violence.

At some point, this is going to go beyond threats or harassment and get people killed.

America is a gun. America is stochastic terrorism.
