Deranged Teacher Arrested For Threatening Mass Shooting At Las Vegas Concert

It still seems odd to say – but Las Vegas is now my metro area.

I moved to northern Arizona earlier this year – so Vegas is both my airport and main shopping destination.

I cannot drive by the sight of the horrific mass shooting without thinking of the lives lost. It’s haunting and heartbreaking…

I’m sure those who were in the area at the time feel it ten-fold… which is why this threat was taken ANYTHING but lightly.

It probably felt like salt in a very deep wound.

According to Fox News:

A Las Vegas teacher was arrested this month on terrorist threat charges after she sent texts saying she was forming a plan to shoot up a concert and wanted to empower women to be serial killers.

WOWOWOW.

How “empowering.” Super feminist of her.

Leslie McGourty, 48, was exchanging texts with a friend May 16 when she made a threat to “poke a lot of holes in a lot of people” and kill herself, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, citing her arrest report.

The friend took the texts to cops and McGourty was arrested later that day as she was teaching a physics class at Bonanza High School, the paper reported.

She was accused of targeting a May 19 concert at a downtown bar.

Of course, this is sick coming from anyone… but it seems especially disturbing coming from a teacher.

In the texts, McGourty romanticized “being remembered” and said she hoped to start another #MeToo movement “but this time in which women feel empowered enough to become serial killers,” the paper reported.

What the F*CK.

Out of ALL things she could want to “Empower” women to do… she chose being a serial killer?

What happened to starting your own business?

And again… this woman is a TEACHER. She works with KIDS.

“A perfect plan with my favorite song surrounded by a bunch of f—– up misfits like I am,” she said in one of the texts, according to the paper. “Imagine knowing exactly the moment that you’re going to die. I know exactly that your favorite song will be playing. By your favorite band. It’s just too perfect.”

Only then your favorite band dies? Um… yeah. Not perfect at all.

Can they put this lunatic away? For good? Please?

The arrest report says McGourty offered little reaction when detectives read her the texts.

It also says McGourty admitted to police that she had planned to attend a downtown concert, but that she “often has those types of conversations” with her friend.

I’m sure her friends are all lovely people.

She was assigned to home after being released on bail, the paper reported.

NOOOOO.

KTNV-TV reported that the text exchange between McGourty and her friend included a reference to Stephen Paddock the gunman who killed 58 people attending a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip.

Of course it did.

No word if she still has her teaching job… but I would RAGE if she did.
