McGill became aware last Friday of a threatening graffiti message

"As you may know, McGill became aware last Friday of a threatening graffiti message written on a bathroom wall... The Montreal police were immediately contacted by McGill Security; they responded rapidly and are continuing to investigate and collaborate closely with us. We and the Montreal police are taking this situation seriously... heightened our security... ."

I have no idea what the message said..."Rich Bitch Mcgill Doomsday" according to my friend... so I cannot assume the precise 'level' of threat. However, I do know that searching peoples bags is crossing the line...

"In addition to an increased Security presence on both campuses, you may notice signs indicating that bags and backpacks may be subject to search. This step is part of our increased security measures and we thank you for your co-operation in this regard. Nonetheless, we believe there is no imminent danger to the McGill community."

Doomsday may just be the guys name... I'm pretty sure that's how graffiti writers work.... although his shyt was wahck.
Doomsday may have referred to 'exam period' ?
I don't know, that's all I can think of.

Or...
Doomsday could mean some sort of... 'terrorist attack'...

Walk-through metal detectors are cool, and aren't a hassle.
Too expensive? Rent. I'm sure we will find good deals..

And who was the TARGET?
McGill Students?
Does that mean he is, or is not a McGill student?
Probably not... as when people join a particular group, they tend to stick to that group.
See, (google it): "The tree of experience in the forest of information: Overweighing experienced relative to observed information."

So the chances are he is an outsider, then why are we harassing our own students?

If he is a McGill student, on the other hand, he probably wouldn't know what to do with himself. Exams are gonna be full of cops.
He is now most likely aware that he must get rid of all evidence and will do his best to blend in with the crowd. Chances of getting him are low.

If he is from outside the school, it is not only more likely to be a threat, he will probably do it depending on how 'good' he is. Whether he will continue with his word or not is also up to how bad of a gambler he is... how desperate he is.

Chances of an actual threat, however, are ultimately low. I say invest in some [subtle] metal detectors and move on.
My hunch is that, the kid is probably outside of 'New Rez' and he was just trying to diss them (Or She?).
See, intuition does have its place (Read Essay Below).

Well, in any case, i don't really care whether the government and their cops get their man. McGill police on the other hand...

EDIT: April 18: Looks like It was not the doomsday thing. I will try to find out what it was soon.
