Over 400 Bomb Threats in my Hometown within 2 Weeks while on Vacation!

I just recently returned from visiting my parents and going on a vacation with them. It was fun and I loved seeing them again, but pheewww!!! I found myself filled with anxiety the entire time because of bomb threats! There were over 400 bomb threats called in over the phone in my small hometown, and it's surrounding areas within about 2 weeks. Wal-Mart stores, dollar stores, gas stations, and even a few government buildings were having to evacuate and take all necessary safety procedures. It was getting really annoying! I mean, every time you would try to go to Wal-Mart to pick something up you couldn't get in! Apparently, it was just some stupid people calling from pay phones and such playing some sort of sick game! As far as I know, everyone that was involved has been apprehended. There were no actual explosions, bombs, or evidence of bomb-making found. I was definitely ready to get back home! It's very quiet and peaceful where I live, but I suppose stuff like that can happen anywhere now days. It's getting ridiculous in this world.

What is wrong with people that they have nothing better to do than call in fake bomb threats? They should be playing Pokemon Go.

LOL People have even found a way to turn Pokemon Go into something bad... people are using it to go to someone's house and rob them. The world is just going to hell.

I agree, I am honestly terrified of our future.
