Read on for <\/b><\/strong><strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A\u2019s<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0blow by blow account of the facts and rumors&#8230;<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A\u2019s<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0first call this morning about the Bomb Threat at Shelby High School was at 9:21 AM. A trusted source reported that some kind of \u201cemergency\u201d was going on at Shelby High School. That Firetrucks, Police and perhaps other emergency vehicles were on the scene. That the school kids had been evacuated from the SHS buildings and NOBODY was being allowed back into the SHS Buildings until further notice. <strong><em><u><b><i>That nobody in an official capacity was talking<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and that <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0might want to check this out. It has been Robert A\u2019s experience that when <u>Nobody<\/u>\u00a0is talking is when <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0most often \u201csmells a rat.\u201d This seems to be turning out that <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was 1,000% correct, to once again, smell a rat. And time to look into the situation. If only to confirm or not that there was an actual emergency at SHS.<\/p>\n<p>So, <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0googles Shelby High School and gets their telephone number. Then <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0calls the number and the phone rings and rings and rings. Finally, an answering machine picks up with confirmation that this was indeed the correct number for SHS. It also confirmed that nobody was in that office to answer the phone. Which seemed to confirm that something bad was going on and everybody had been evacuated.<\/p>\n<p>Next, <strong><b>Robert A<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0calls the CCS Central Offices, and picks the number for the Superintendent. The Superintendent\u2019s secretary picks up and <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0explains that he was trying to confirm whether or not there was an emergency at Shelby High School. The Secretary stated that she didn\u2019t have that information and patched <strong><b>Robert A<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0through to the CCS Communications Director. That call also went to a machine that stated the person was not presently available and asked for a message. And, before <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0could say a word, the machine states that the \u201cinbox was full\u201d and no message could be left.\u201d <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>, used to be given the run-around at CCS, began to worry about how the parents of the students at SHS would be notified that an emergency at SHS was in progress.<\/p>\n<p>Then, <em><u><i>Robert A<\/i><\/u><\/em>\u00a0calls the Shelby Police Department and asks them to confirm whether or not an emergency was taking place at Shelby High School. The answer was that SPD was very busy and to call the Sheriff\u2019s Office. <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was patched through to the SPD Chief Brad Fraser, and left a message.<\/p>\n<p>Then <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0calls The Sheriff\u2019s Department and is sent back to the Shelby Police Department\u2019s \u201cCommunications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SPD Communications refuses to comment, but says they were in the process of putting together a \u201cPress Release.\u201d <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0asks to be put on the distribution for that Press Release and gives his email address. No press release was ever received by <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>, although later <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0sees an article from the Shelby Star regarding a Bomb Threat at Shelby High School. A check on local TV news stations showed no news being covered about anything in Shelby, NC.<\/p>\n<p>By this time <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0knew damned well that he was getting the runaround treatment from \u201cALL\u201d and that ALL wanted the Shelby Star to break the news. Knowing full well that the Shelby Star would print the news release \u201cas is\u201d and without question. And ALL knew that <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0would ask questions that \u201cALL might not want to have to answer. Especially since \u201cAll\u201d had to know that <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0had already \u201csmelled a big stinky rat\u201d way back in that runaround process.<\/p>\n<p>Also, between the runaround episodes, <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was receiving calls from Facebook users that had much more information. Directly from the kids evacuated from the SHS buildings who made calls home on their very own cell phones.<\/p>\n<p>The kids reported to their parents that a \u201cbomb threat\u201d had been received at Shelby High School that a bomb was set to explode at 10:28 AM, that they were evacuated from the School buildings and for the parents to please hurry and pick them up. Of course, the parents panicked and flocked to Shelby High School in droves to pick up their kids. Creating a major traffic jam at Shelby High School in the process.<\/p>\n<p>It is presently believed that no child, parent, teachers, first responders, Shelby PD officers or anybody else was injured in this gigantic episode at Shelby High School.<\/p>\n<p>However, between the children\u2019s cell phones, Facebook entries, the \u201cNobody\u201d officially talking fiasco, various versions of reality began to coalesce and spread like wildfire. Some of the accounts <strong><em><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0received are listed as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A real bomb or explosive device had been found at Shelby High School<\/li>\n<li>No bomb was found at Shelby High School<\/li>\n<li>Anything else in between<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then the conspiracy thinker type evaluations begin in earnest. All seeming plausible since the CCS School Board\u2019s Robert Queen majority candidates, by all accounts are set to be defeated in the 2024 Republican Primary Elections and the necessary firing of CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher for just cause will be mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>The following scenario being talked about by citizens was relayed to <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>. Once <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0got over his initial thought that such dastardly deeds being impossible to happen here in Cleveland County and considered all the previous dirty deeds pulled off by the Rogue Republicans on the School Board and the CCGOP, it became obvious that the following scenario likely may be very near the truth of the matter. It goes like this:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Rogue Republican contingency of the CCGOP (Dennis Bailey, Robert Queen, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, Rodney Fitch, Greg Taylor, Sherri Yocum and others fully and truly believe that these School Board incumbent Republicans will be soundly defeated in the 2024 Republican Primary Elections. And drastic steps have to be taken to prevent the Robert Queen dynasty on the CCS School Board from being totally defeated. And the ends justify the means.<\/li>\n<li>A secret planned scheme was concocted for some Rogue Republican to devise a plan to call in a false bomb threat into Shelby High School in such a way as to maximize not getting caught in the process. Joel Shores, a former high-ranking member of the CC Sheriff\u2019s Office is the prime suspect by several accounts in this scenario. <strong><b>RobertA&#8217;s observations<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0of Joel Shores at CCS School Board meetings indicated to <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0that such actions are not only possible, but probable.<\/li>\n<li>Once the call was placed, CCS Chairman Robert Queen (himself a Fireman), Joel Shores, CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher and perhaps other Rogue Republicans, would quickly arrive on the scene (perhaps with cameras rolling) in a heroic scene in order to declare themselves the heroes that saved Shelby High School. Basically, a Political Publicity Stunt pulled off for the ultimate purpose of keeping Robert Queen and his band in the majority on the CC School Board for another four years.<\/li>\n<li>The final scene of this scenario, as some parents and others are thinking and talking about, will happen at the February 12, 2024 School Board meeting in the form of play acting a scene where Queen, Shores, and others falsely claim that they were responsible for such a great display of leadership capability that saved the day for Shelby High School. Which plays up their standing as CCS School Board members to voters and therefore THEY should be reelected. And to keep Superintendent Fisher in his position for another four years in the process!!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, folks, these facts remain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There was, in fact, a bomb threat that targeted Shelby High School on February 9, 2024, causing much concern and speculation.<\/li>\n<li>There is an ongoing investigation by law enforcement of this bomb threat that may or may not ever find a perpetrator.<\/li>\n<li>The public and parental speculation described in this article may or may not ever be proven true or proven false for that matter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the present conclusion in regard to this particular bomb threat at SHS is the perpetrator(s) are unknown and will possibly will NEVER be found out. Therefore, <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0says, folks, <strong><em><u><b><i>YOUR<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0guess is just as good as <strong><em><u><b><i>MY<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0guess. And each and every one of <strong><em><u><b><i>OUR<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0guesses are just as good as the conspiracy theory that is being talked about in this article and out and about among the gossip amongst the citizens of Cleveland County. <strong><u><b>WE<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0will just have to wait and see what comes out at the February 12, 2024 CCS School Board meeting and go from there.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully Cleveland County law enforcement agencies will soon bring this issue to a close. With criminal charges brought against the perpetrators and a vigorous prosecution and conviction by the Cleveland County\u2019s District Attorney\u2019s Office and a fair jury trial. Until this happens, <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0recommends voters continue the democratic process of selecting and electing <strong><em><u><b><i>FIVE<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0completely new School Board members in the 2024 Republican Primary School Board elections. Even the most remote thought that some or all of the School Board incumbents running for re-election might have some part of a Political Publicity-Stunt such as some believe, is grounds for throwing this crowd out of office.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that is <strong><em><u><b><i>Robert A\u2019s<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0conclusions and belief, based upon the facts presently at hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, the facts: Today is Friday, February 9, 2024 The next School Board meeting is this coming Monday, February 12, 2024 \u00a0And, after that, everything about the mysterious \u201cBomb Threat\u201d at Shelby High School today is murky at best.
