Sol Pais: The Fabricated School Threats

The major search engines are no longer dependable repositories of objective information.  For the most cynical critics this observation is not new but in my experience there was a time when an individual could search the web and find all kinds of alternative interpretations of newsworthy information.

In researching Sol Pais's suicide and the events leading up to it, I've had to slog through an ocean of disinformation lucratively distributed by the Main Stream Media as its dictated by government officials who fabricate it for public consumption. The MSM reports this fiction seamlessly and without question.  And now Google and the mainstream search engines and social media sites comply as well.

The narrative that is almost ubiquitously coughed up when searching anything having to do with Sol Pais is that she threatened schools.

Dark as these times may be to compare various sources and opinions about information, there are always cracks in the cyber censorship model.

In this news report, information missing or obfuscated by the broader MSM is yet uncensored;

""Columbine and other schools tightened security the afternoon of April 16 and closed entirely on April 17 when authorities still had not located Pais. She never threatened a specific school, authorities said. 
Her body was found on April 17 in the foothills west of Denver. Authorities knew Pais was last seen in the area on April 15 but it was unclear when she killed herself until the coroner’s report Wednesday. 
“Based on the information we had at the time, local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with school districts in the Denver Metro area, took the necessary steps to ensure our communities, and particularly our students, stayed safe until there was no longer a threat,” Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Shrader said in a statement. 
An FBI spokeswoman declined comment Wednesday."

In fact, Pais never threatened any school or individual.  This is precisely why FBI spokespeople refuse to speak.  It is far more advantageous to allow the innuendo that Pais threatened a school or schools to float around on social media than to truthfully admit that this was a precautionary, cover-your-worthless-government-ass speculation.

Later, the same article notes,
"An autopsy summary by the Clear Creek County coroner estimated that 18-year-old Sol Pais likely died on April 15 — the day authorities said she flew to Denver from Miami. The FBI’s Denver office said it learned of Pais’ travel the following morning. Agents also learned the day after she died that Pais had gone directly to a gun store from the airport and purchased a shotgun and ammunition. 
Pais was already dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound by the time agents began retracing her steps, according to the coroner’s initial autopsy findings. 
Chief Deputy Coroner Harriet Hamilton said Wednesday that the office is awaiting test results before producing a final autopsy report. 
The gun purchase and other warning signs, including Pais’ past conversations about the 1999 Columbine shooting, led the FBI and local law enforcement to consider the young woman a potential threat to schools and issue a public warning about her, authorities have said."

Had Sol Pais threatened a school in any way a voice recording of that threat would exist.  I have yet to encounter any such thing.  To be specific, such a recording would be, as we say in the legal vernacular, "empirical proof" - "evidence", "motive" - more than just plain old bullshit.

The so-called "threat" was an imagined threat to a community whose psychological well-being is in worse shape than its many cult tragedy tribes.  I'll delve into this subject in a later post.   The authorities and post-traumatically-stressed community figures project their fears into opportunities like this.  The recipe is simple - mention Columbine, visit the area, ask about or buy a gun legally and spark a conversation with a local.  Instant crisis.

Here's a copy of the "public warning":


You will notice the No Probable Cause to Arrest heading. You will also notice "considered armed and dangerous" - again based on the infatuated with Columbine School shooting semantic tag that they assigned to her identity.

These kinds of public warnings expose the individual to potential vigilante justice while dog whistling to the authorities that the media by-product of such a warning will trigger a social encounter that will justify terminating the subject's life.

And given this kind of warning, what could  local officials conclude other than emptying the schools?  The confluence of the expectation of violence on the anniversary of the Columbine shootings, the mischaracterization of misguided souls such as Sol Pais, and the hair-trigger, over-reaction by the Columbine community toward even the faintest hint of local interest is a recipe for collateral damage every anniversary period.

The actual autopsy results are yet to be made public.  Nor has any official postmortem analysis of the event been publicized.
