I understand perfectly well.
A student posts a picture of himself holding a gun with a caption saying "I'm about to lose it." Should that be taken as a threat?
What if instead the caption said, "see you at school tomorrow."?
What if it said, "I'm taking out 19."
Should any of these be taken by school officials as threats?
I'm going to kill, blow up, destroy, hurt, ext someone or a specific target.
How about these written on the boy's bathroom wall?
"A bomb is going off at 2:00 today."
"I brought a bomb to school."
"I'm going to blow this place up."
"Blow it up."
"Someone should blow this place to the ground."
"The bomb is ticking."
"I hope the bomb works."
"Explosions in one hour and counting."
Should any of these be taken seriously? Which ones? Who should decide?

He has been very politically active since the shooting and that is exactly what this is, an insensitive political statement. He was being a little p**ck and deserved to be questioned.

You guys collectively have no depth of thought.
I have acknowledged that he did none of those things...more than once.
I said that if the kid had no previous "red flags", then the school and LEO over reacted and should be dealt with accordingly....numerous times.
How you guys continually fail to process what has been said is baffling.
My whole effort has been an attempt to get unanimous acknowledgement that a line must be drawn and then determine where that line is drawn and by whom. You guys continually run from that debate. There are only a couple of reasons as to why that would be true. Neither are very flattering.
A student should not post anything on social media showing him armed and shooting a gun unless he WANTS to be called in and questioned. Plus, he was told repeatedly that he had done nothing wrong.
I think all students are aware that in today's climate, posting gun activity on social media is a guaranteed ticket to visit the resource officer.
The below bold shows it shouldn't matter if he made any verbal threats in his linked video. Which is why your hypo's entered the discussion. The idea ( or horror on your end and many others) of him having a gun in his hand and firing it in a controlled enviroment with a professional instructor was enough to warrant interrogation.
