Threat causes man to be jailed By: Emma Wall

The article above discusses the major threat that was directed at the University of Chicago.  This threat basically stated that the man would show up to the school at 10:00 am with fully loaded weapons and kill 16 white boys and staff along with many policemen. It is inferred that he set out to do this for revenge of the death of Laquan Mcdonald.  He was later arrested for the threat.

This is terrifying.  I can't even imagine how scary it must be for those living on the campus.  I think that it is good that they evacuated the campus and had FBI outside investigating.  It is good to see that people are taking more caution. I can connect this to the Civil War because the south was warned not to secede from the north but they did anyway and it started the Civil War.  In this case the threat was actually taken and people listened and took caution.  The Civil War might have been avoided if the south wouldn't have taken their threat lightly.
