An Iowa woman, Teri Pallat is now facing criminal charges for posting a status on Facebook that threatened a school shooting because kids were bullying her 15-year-old son. She was arrested Monday and charged for making a "terroristic threat" and also harassment for allegedly warning school administrators that they would be to blame if her son shot up Lewis Central High School, where he was a sophomore. According to Council Bluffs police, the post read: "And they asked why do people shoot up schools, well this is exactly why and when our son does it cause I know he will have nobody to blame but the administration and I promise everyone he will only get the ones that caused this. He is an excellent marks men." This comes only days after the shooting in a suburban Denver, Colorado high school on Friday.

South Carolina sheriff refuses to lower flag for Mandela
The U.S. flag flew high outside Pickens County sheriff's office in South Carolina on Monday. This was in defiance of an order from President Barack Obama to lower all flags in memory of the South African leader Nelson Mandela, who just recently pasted. Sheriff Rick Clark said he believed the lowering of the flag to half-staff was a tribute that should be reserved for U.S. citizens."To show a sign of respect for what Nelson Mandela's done, I have no problem with lowering it in South Africa, in their country," he told a local television station."But in our country, it should be the people, in my opinion, who have sacrificed for our country." On Friday, the sheriff's office flag flew at half-staff in honor of a South Carolina law enforcement officer who was killed in the line of duty.It then remained lowered through Pearl Harbor Day on Saturday until Monday when it was then raised again. The sheriff's office then said Clark would have no further comment beyond what he had already told a local TV reporter.
Obama ordered flags to be flown at half staff until sunset Monday.
