[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is misleading. A Westfield HS student was murdered. The topic is Westfield HS b/c we are in the FCPS forum. And what difference does it make where he was murdered? It sounds like they got home from school, and had a fight. Not really enough time to go home and get a gun, which means the student likely had the gun at school. The shooting was at 3:30, school dismissal is 3:00, they likely took the bus home so that's right around when they would be getting off the bus. [/quote] Same as yesterday's post "shooting at McNair" implying an occurrence at McNair ES when in reality it was the surrounding McNair neighborhood. Obviously these are titled this way to give the appearance of dangerous schools to show up in news and search results.[/quote] Dude, everything is not about politics. A parent whose kid is at Westfield HS posted this, not some troll with an agenda. Sorry that the exact wording was not to your liking but jesus christ have some perspective.[/quote] 100%. Also there are many non-native first gen parents in our community. Wording isn’t intended to be shocking.[b] It’s intended to make others who have kids there aware[/b]. It’s horrible and devastating to hear. I’m so sorry to hear this. [/quote] Yes, the title is intended to make parents aware of a school shooting. But there wasn't a school shooting. So the title is misleading and causes confusion and panic.[/quote] The thread title says nothing about a school shooting, wtf is wrong with you? It says a Westfield student was murdered. Which is exactly what happened.[/quote] Read it again. The thread title is "Westfield HS-Student murdered" which means that it happened at the school. The teen was not murdered at school. [/quote] The intepretation of the "-" could go either way. It could mean that a student was murdered at Westfield (still doesn't say anything about a shooting). Or it could equally mean, a Westfield student was murdered. You are being deliberately obtuse b/c you think everyone has some kind of crazy right wing agenda (which makes you the crazy).[/quote] This is the School Forum, not the Political Forum. I don't have any agenda. But parents are very scared of school shootings. And it seems to me that posting an ambiguous thread about a school shooting is unhelpful for everyone. It's easy to fix. OP can ask Jeff to edit the thread title to say that a teen from Westfield was murdered. But she is concerned that there might be a gun at the school right now. She isn't concerned about the dead teen, only herself.[/quote] Just give it up. Its not an ambiguous thread title. You are putting your own political lens over a common sense reading. THERE ISN'T EVEN THE WORD SHOOTING IN THE TITLE. The title is accurate-a Westfield student was murdered. Go argue in the politics forum and stop attacking parents.[/quote]
