What does a bully who sends 3 bomb threats to a school want?

What questions should we (our community leaders and members) add to our master list of questions? How can we feel safer and act smarter?

To:  All of the kind people in our community who want to feel safer in an unsafe world,

Please do not infer that I know more than any other community member on the above Title question.  The reason for asking the following questions is to help us understand better what is going on in our community.  I do not consider my questions to be a complete list of all of the useful questions that we might ask ourselves.  And, if I ask a useless question (in your opinion), please do not take offense.  No offense is intended.

I will use the term 'bully' with respect to the perpertrator of the bomb threats.  I know that more than one bully may be involved.
