The police embarrassed themselves by responding to a private joke post only able to be seen by my friends. It is ridiculous that this ever became a public matter and because of parasitic “journalism” sites like this one, my name is now synonymous with an alleged bomb threat any time it’s put into google. Delete this, please.
