Episode Synopsis
Local law enforcement spent all last week arresting Knox County Schools students — many of them middle-schoolers — for making or circulating violent threats. The wave of online rumors about planned attacks at local schools followed the murders at Apalachee High School in Georgia, where a 14-year-old boy is charged with killing four people and wounding many others. On this week's episode, Scott and Jesse talk about the increased tension around online threats by young people, and how school and law enforcement officials are handling it. Also: Knox County Schools are gearing up for a different kind of threat — cardiac emergencies at sporting events; the Big Ears Festival releases its lineup for 2025; an update on the joint city-county effort to combat opioid addiction; and two former City Council members clash over a rezoning. Looking ahead, the guys preview Monday's County Commission meetings — including a proposal by new Commissioner Andy Fox to impose unwanted rezonings on several properties; and City Council will talk bridges on Tuesday.
