Breaking: Bomb Threat At Wise County Courthouse



Evacuation ordered.

Courthouse was notified by Decatur PD and Fire Marshal.

Developing . . .

Edit: At 10:30 people were allowed to go back in (which one have been one of the quickest bomb searches ever.)  Lots going on up there this morning: Commissioners' Court, Divorce docket (on Valentines Day) and a felony criminal docket.

probably a false alarm, no one in wise county has the balls to do something like that.

I think they found the meth lab in th basement. County has to make money somehow.

why would you think no one in Wise Co. would have "the balls" to do that? What is the profile for someone sending a bomb threat?

Name one situation where there was actually a bomb when it was called in. Anywhere?

If someone wants to blow something up, they aren't going to call it in.

Actually, calling in a bomb threat was a tactic of IRA bombers, they would wait for responders to show up, then blow the bomb. Or they would use two bombs, set one off, wait for the response and set off the second.

They must have thought it was a smoke bomb threat because the people standing on the sidewalk outside the building are not out of harms way if the building blew up from a real bomb.

You think the lawyer's are going to suspend Divorce Court actions because it's Valenine's day? They have families to slaughter - no rest.

Uh, 2:22 PM, it ain't the lawyers "slaughtering the families", its the FAMILY MEMBERS who are causing the slaughtering. Nothing would be in court if people didn't run to the lawyers to file divorces. Haven't seen a lawyer yet file a divorce where nobody has asked for it.

Could it just have been one of the judges passing really bad gas?
