Yep. And it's hard for people to not start noticing things

Does anyone know what the actual consequences are going to be for the violent perpertrators? Are they really going to have no consequences? Do people really disagree that uninvolved students trying to learn should not be made to sit alongside these violent teenagers?

Seems like nothing, so far. It's an outrage. Parents should be organizing protests in front of school board offices. This is the only way we can affect some change, when parents start fighting back.

I’d show up!

Yep. And the school will get more violent as all the wealthy pull their kids out of BCC and put em in private ASAP. This is horrific

You can see this in the various videos that are out there. Some of the attackers seem to be BCC students (IDs on them, BCC shirts, etc.) but they could have been from other schools. It isn't like BCC kids hate WJ and vice versa. This is about a group where some wore ski masks and attacked another others. At 8:30 on a Friday night. Where all are kids should have felt safe getting a burrito after a football game.

I've seen this mentioned multiple times. There is no evidence that they were from other schools. Deflection.

There's a disease of the mind where people will argue against a mountain of factual evidence just to be contrary. This board is full of that. I was at rhe game. I saw the girl with braids starting problems with the wj fans. The phone chain and social media was blowing up with wj students injured and bcc students as the assailants on friday. The principal 's email makes it clear that wj students were attacked. Mcpc doesn't allow students from other schools into the games. It was absolutely bcc students and there will be arrests. Hopefully there are also Civil lawsuits.

This incident is a very big deal for MCPS and the BCC principal. The upside of all of this could be a return to violent students actually experiencing consequences.

But if MCPS and BCC drop the ball, I suspect that mayhem will become the norm in Montgomery County schools in the years ahead. And everyone with means will give up and go private, particularly in the BCC district. There's a lot riding on how MCPS and the BCC principle choose to respond to these assaults.

How is the BCC principal still there? Between this horrific incident and the lawsuit he is facing for wrongly accusing the teacher of racism before he had even conducted an investigation, he sounds just awful. So of course MCPS is keeping him.

Hey Monifa, how are we as parents supposed to have conversations with our kids about consequences for violence and fighting when you won't tell us what consequences you're doling out to the students who just did it live and in color?

Make it make sense.

Because fighting is not illegal and we don’t arrest people for doing things that are not illegal.

Assault is. And people are arrested for fighting all the time. Chasing down random people, throwing them to the ground and stomping them in the head is not a fight. And you need to do some serious reflecting on why you're trying to normalize that

Exactly! She needs to be telling the kids that stomping in the head can kill someone.

Without video, of course, it would be easier to sweep under the rug...

MCPS has been embarrassed and is lashing out.

The principal is right. It is truly despicable to record this type of thing and post it on social media. It is meant to humiliate and glorify violence as well as garner views. It has nothing to to with hiding anything. Some people have very twisted minds to think the principal means to hide anything when he states that kids shouldn't be recording this kind of thing and posting it on social media. Really twisted.

Both things are valid. It's awful to record someone's trauma or humiliation for the entertainment of others, but documenting this stuff also brings serious and real problems and crimes to light. So it's a double-edged sword.

I agree with this but only if the purpose of recording it is to document the event so that those who should be punished can be identified. And if that's the case, the videos would be seen by the police and school administrators first and not immediately posted on social media. I hope those who did nothing but taped the fight just so they could get "likes" are also punished. They should be. This happened at our school last year and I told DS that if he ever taped a fight instead of going to get help, he wouldn't have a phone anymore. As a parent, I would be mortified if that was my child's choice in a situation like that.

]

I think we've learned over the past several years that Good Samaritans are often prosecuted instead of criminals, so I think most parents would NOT want their kids to join a fight instead of taping it.

I tell my kids to MOVE AWAY and call 911.

Also, it looks like the BCC principal has announced the Case Closed according to his latest email tonight. No more information will be forthcoming from the school, and no one will ever know what happened to the attackers re: MoCo and schools. The police haven't completed their investigation.

No surprise there. I will make sure my kids continue their AP classes, and we are nearly done with MCPS. I wish we had moved to the Whitman district.

Don’t kid yourself. Whitman has had incidents too surrounding games.

Is there any chance to come together as a community to demand accountability/real consequences? Or is that not going to happen? It's hard to tell how much of the community agrees with this approach.

Right, this is what I meant by going to get help. Not joining the fight. But not taping it to share on social media. If you have a phone in your hand and your reaction is to tape a crime vs. calling 911, there is something wrong with you.

Thank you for posting this. The WJ and BCC kids supporting each other sound like the kids I recognize.

I was going to come here to say that my child who attends BCC is friends with a gir (also a BCC student)l who was at the Chipotle with friends who attend WJ and was injured in the chaos as she tried to protect her friends. I also attended the game, where overall the students were well behaved and the school had clearly choreographed where everyone was sitting to keep the schools separate. This was pre-meditated acts of violence which included some kids who did not even attend the game but were looking to stir stuff up. It is upsetting and disgusting and I hope that the entire community doesn't pay for the actions of these kids by having games cancelled, moved, etc

I was at the game with my kids and as I was leaving a group of WJ kids (about 9-10 kids wearing the black outfits) were leaving saying- we're heading to the metro...let's go to the metro. I assumed when they were saying it it was how they were getting home. So there was some pre-talk about it.

There were no doubt a lot of factors involved in this event, but I don't think that wearing black causes you to commit violence, or that wearing black is an indicator that you are about to go commit violence.

V disgusting behavior just saw a video on DC morning news and there were stupid girls kicking some kid in the head and punching basically trying to kill the kid. These kids are horrible and awful and future dangers to society hope they get arrested or kicked out school . Parents need to raise better kids.
