Wasn't that a 12 year old kid sending out bomb threats to various schools since they knew they wouldn't have consequences due to being under 13?

Wow.
Wj has over three thousands students so it is more likely to happen there than other places. .

I am impressed the student who saw it showed leadership and responsibility and reported it. I can think of a few schools where that part wouldn't have happened.

DP. I wouldn't do it, but since nothing bad happened, and there isn't even any evidence that anything bad was intended to happen, I don't think "W parents need to re-examine your false sense of security and superiority with respect to the DCC" is so inappropriate here.

Unless they plead this down to a misdemeanor he is pretty much screwed for college and jobs for a long while.

My son knows the kid with the gun, they're in the same grade and have had a few classes together over the years.
From what he's heard, the boy who was caught was giving it to another kids who was being mercilessly bullied and harassed -- not that it makes it any better. I asked my son if this bullying was occurring at school or at home and he said at home, but again this is what's being said amongst the kids at school, so take it with a grain of salt.

I heard something similar and that the kid who was caught with the gun was thought of as a quiet and nice kid. If it's true, this quiet and nice kid has ruined his life because he had access to a weapon and made an extremely poor decision. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve consequences for his actions - he most certainly does - it's just a shame.

He has certainly complicated his life, but he has not ruined it.

I cannot read this for free. Is there anyway that you can give the cliff notes version? Does it explain why he brought the gun? What his intentions were?

Does anyone know what the purpose of the gun was? Are there any actual reports about with the intention was?

W schools are Western, very white, and mostly wealthy. Zoned students often come from DCUM families that can’t afford prestige private schools and feel sensitive about how much they spent on their house. They have a vested interest in perpetuating the idea that W schools are superior to all others in MCPS and that the DCC is essentially any inner city high school in bad 1980s movies.

Classless and inappropriate

Classless and inappropriate? Maybe.
Correct? 100%

Incorrect
Biased
Hateful
Ignorant

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Enjoy your ignorant prejudice. It looks good on you.

Thanks!

She and Jawando are really disappointing when it comes to school security and safety.

And everything else

Yes, but that does not sound valid.

My kid was in a morning class with him on Monday before the gun was discovered. I do wonder where the gun was during the class. My kid was truly shocked when he found out it was him because he said he is the nicest guy. I am curious about where he got the gun.

The most probable place is: at home.

That’s your take away from this horrible situation?

That's why I send both my kids to private schools that are full of private security and MCPS cops. That's the benefit of working hard and having money.

Landscapers don't work hard? You wouldn't last 15 minutes in their world.

Why? I know someone who has several classes with him. Why do you need to see a photo? Are you interested to know his race and/or ethnicity? Seems like it.

Want to see the creep.
