+1 there was a knife. See immediate PP post. MCPS also agrees that we need to do more. Hence, CEO 2.0. |
Yep |
Ah ha! So I was right that a weapon was involved. I knew it. |
Students are pulling knives and guns on each other and you don't see it as a big deal? Either you're so desensitized to this kind of violent chaos that you can't see what's wrong with that being normalized, or you just don't give a damn about the kids. Either way, that POV is unhealthy and dangerous for our kids. |
| Most likely ambulance or police arrived and they didn't want kids to see anything (kid taken out on stretcher or in handcuffs) |
A kid pulled a knife on another kid. Do you not see that as a ‘major incident’ at a high school? |
I heard it was a plastic spork but okay. |
| Frederick high school just had a stabbing today per moco show. 16 year old victim in the park across the street from the school taken by ambulance. |
You seriously think the police are apprehending and hauling a student away for a plastic spork? |
You heard wrong. It was a knife. |
| More and more kids are raging. Hope someone is tracking what percentage of the perps were receiving psychiatric treatment. |

More confirmed details of the incident in this report from Fox 5 DC: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/student-arrested-after-fight-outside-of-montgomery-county-high-school
GAITHERSBURG, Md. - A student was arrested after a fight outside a Gaithersburg, Maryland high school on Thursday. Montgomery County Police say officers responded around 10:00 a.m. to Watkins Mill High School in the 10300 block of Apple Ridge Road for a report of an assault. Officers at the scene, learned that two students exited the school building to fight each other, and one of the students pulled out a knife. Police say one of the students was taken into custody at the scene. No injuries were reported during the incident. The school was briefly put into a shelter in place as police responded to the scene. That order has since been lifted. Officials say the school has been secured, and there is no ongoing threat. The incident remains under investigation. |
In my experience that's the kind of crime they love to prosecute. If it involves real weapons, expect a lot of foot dragging. |
In the case of WM, it may need help. MV is a strange area. Most of the shootings, stabbings, etc. are down the road by the lake. If you don't believe it, just check out spotcrime or the Montgomery County Police Department website. |
schools need armed guards more than teachers
