19-year-old Travis Clawson had a super shitty day on Thursday after his outgoing voicemail message was mistaken for a mass shooting threat.
Clawson was enjoying another day of high school in Ambridge, Penn., when Ambridge Area High School went into lockdown mode. Clawson probably didn't know it yet, but it was all his fault, unintentionally.
A doctor's receptionist had phoned Clawson during the school day to remind him of an upcoming appointment. Clawson's voicemail greeting, which quotes the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, was misinterpreted by the person on the other end of the line. The receptionist reportedly misheard the line "and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school " for "shooting some people outside of the school."

Could have been worse. A kid could have a shirt with a gun picture or played with his pop tart and made it into a gun - both of which will get you suspended. Fear, it is what the government wants us to have and what, it seems, we need.
