MAKING A SCHOOL BOMB THREAT ON LINE IS ILLEGAL IN NEW MEXICO…BUT ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCILOR PAT DAVIS SAYS THERE’S NO SPECIFIC LAW REGARDING OTHER THREATS OF VIOLENCE…LIKE A SCHOOL SHOOTING. HE SAYS YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY WAIT UNTIL A SHOOTER COMES ON CAMPUS WITH A GUN OR NAMES A PARTICULAR TARGET BEFORE LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN STEP IN.
DAVIS IS NOW PROPOSING A CHANGE IN CITY ORDINANCE SO THAT ANY ON LINE THREAT OF VIOLENCE AT SCHOOL WOULD BE ILLEGAL. UNDER THE PROPOSAL, A CONVICTION COULD MEAN 90 DAYS IN JAIL OR A 500-DOLLAR FINE.
DAVIS’ PROPOSAL WAS INTRODUCED AT WEDNESDAY NIGHT’S CITY COUNCIL MEETING
