I have to agree that all of these free days and alternative schedules don’t help.

This is according to kids who always seem to know more than the adults when this stuff goes down.

How much are mopeds? So all 20 kids were able to afford new mopeds?

Was it a random event or did this group know the victim??

Was he not a Wootton HS student? I just assumed.

If not a wootton student what was he doing there? Was he also part of the ‘gang’?

From the Bethesda article:
"Romeril said witnesses described a group of “about 20 juveniles on mopeds” attacking the victim with a blunt object before fleeing. Police said there is no evidence linking the incident to Thomas S. Wootton High School or its students."
It was around lunchtime and there's not much in the area except housing, so it would be odd if the kid wasn't a WHS student.

Why would it be odd?

Why would it be odd for a large group of students gathered during lunchtime two blocks from a high school to not be students of that high school? That would strike me as odd too.

The 20 kids on moped are from DC. Ask the police. This is confirmed. The victim was stealing mopes and stole from the wrong group. Still, none of this should have happened.

This whole story sounds very "sus"...
The boy was taken to an area hospital for help; however, investigators say he is not cooperating with the investigation.

"The victim was unable to confirm the events that took place and is uncooperative with investigators at this time," said Lt. Dan Romeril with Rockville City Police.

Investigators said there is no evidence that the attack had anything to do with Wootton High School or its students.

Is it really hard to believe he'd be uncooperative? If I was attacked by criminals because of my own criminal behavior, why the hell would I get police involved knowing that not only would I have caught a beating but now I'm catching charges.

Are you guys aware of another killing event yesterday in the Marriott in north Bethesda? These event may be connected or not, but I can clearly see rising trends of crimes here and there at the west side of 355, or even west side of 270. It's just copying exactly the same trend of Silver Spring and Wheaton from 20 years ago.

If the victim is claiming up, and the juveniles are not affiliated with Wootton, this might have been a gang-involved incident.

If the victim is clamming up, and the juveniles are not affiliated with Wootton, this might have been a gang-involved initiation incident.

My biggest question is if these 20 kids on mopeds did in fact travel from DC, how come nobody noticed or found it suspicious when a fleet of mopeds travelled 10-15 miles through lower Montgomery County.

As someone who rides motorcycles and associates with various clubs and organizations, we often cannot ride in groups of more than 2 without discovering we have a police escort.

O, it’s always happened in your area but it’s kept quiet.
