TRIMET ALWAYS BEHIND THE TWEETERS

Scanners tweet a full 30 minutes ahead of the billion dollar agency!
The question is WHY?

POWER OF THE INTERNET UNLEASHED IN THE CASE OF THE BULLIED BUS MONITOR

But the exposure has had a darker side, too: thousands of furious and sometimes threatening e-mails directed at Richardson and other officials in the Greece Central School District and the town of Greece and death threats and other harassment directed at students alleged to have participated in the incident.

"We are obviously as emotional as everyone else who has watched this horrible and disturbing video," said Barbara Deane-Williams, superintendent of Greece schools. "As a mom, I can assure you, however, that the enraged response directed at these students and my staff is equally as unsettling. Expressing hatred is not an effective way to resolve this."

The names of some of the alleged perpetrators — all juveniles who have yet to be charged with any crimes — and their parents and details about where they live ended up online. And since Wednesday, they've been barraged by death threats and harassing phone calls.
