Threats of violence are a good way to generate interest. This is evident not least from the bomb threats at Carinthian schools in recent days. Is it all just a joke? In any case, the personality behind it has little to do with “being cool”: she’s more of an outsider – who probably doesn’t even realize that he could face jail time and monetary claims.
First of all: one should be glad that no bomb was found in the bomb threats that have been accumulating lately, especially in Carinthia. But the threat alone is enough to spread fear and terror. In any case, one thing is clear: when bombs explode, they usually kill a lot of people and animals, and destroy buildings and the environment. “So there’s a great potential for danger and violence behind it,” says psychotherapist Barbara Haid. “Anyone who threatens it can therefore be sure of a certain amount of attention,” said the president of the Austrian Federal Association for Psychotherapy (ÖBVP), “and that could make it so attractive to some.”
Especially with young people, it often involves imitation à la “If I do that, then I’m brave and cool.” Haid: “Those affected get a total adrenaline rush when they do something: they do something that is forbidden, something that no one else trusts to be different. It gives them a sense of grandeur, of world domination, that the whole world is staring at them. And the most of them are unaware of the scope of what they are doing.” And it can all end badly, because anyone who thinks nothing can happen to him is very mistaken.
