Anything with Hiddleston is incredibly hot. sigh

I'm trying to figure out what that's from. I recognized Lestrade from Sherlock and Dean Winchester from Supernatural, but what film/ tv show is that with Hiddleston in it? I MUST know.

Several of us called this in the last post.

I'm glad he got arrested and I hope he gets fined for all of the costs associated with it. What a dumbass.

Yes, I remember people calling this in that past. At the time, I was sure it was a hoax but hoping the reason wasn't something *this* petty. I am disappoint!

This happened ALL THE GODDAMN TIME in both my college and highschool. Hell, in highschool, it got so bad, the school paper printed dual opinion pieces of whether to take the so-called threats seriously or not. (I wrote the not version.)

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel a little bad for the student. I can relate to that feeling of total terror and feeling like "oh my god, i'm going to ruin my entire life if I don't do well on this one thing".

It's not rational, but yeah. I get it.

I'm glad this kid is getting fined, facing punishment, etc. But I understand the urge.

When I was in 8th grade my school was evacuated at least six times due to bomb threats over the period of about 2 months. At first we were all pretty tense, I mean the cops and fire department swarmed the place, parents came, it was a zoo. By the third threat we were totally nonchalant, playing soccer and basketball.
