Exactly. Massive charges need to be filed. The poor kid; I hope there is no brain damage.

No stabbing or riots occured.
But you keep thinking the east county schools are all bad and BCC and WJ are great.

We don't think it's East County. You're close.. real close.

I’m really wondering what started it, but that kid in the black hoodie is awful and should be expelled from school and probably in juvenile detention. I hope someone turns him in. Anyone have any idea if the kid who was attacked was from WJ or BCC?

If that person kicking someone in the head is a student, I hope he's not walking the halls freely with no consequences and no special ed support for students with emotional/behavioral issues.

Don't worry. They have a program in place where they talk through it.

PP here. I hope they more than that "educational response" in place.

Just before this my kids were telling me about a kid that beat up another kid last year and broke ribs — suspended for a week and then back in school. Everyone at the school knows to avoid him because he has a hair trigger, but apparently the same kid was starting something last week as well.

Parents need to intervene to get the troublemakers removed and put in special placements.

Stop with the east county W school nonsense. It is so tiresome and doesn’t help solve problems.

Not a hate crime. Victim was white. Just a standard assault.

Hate goes both ways.

Growing up we had troublemakers who pulled fire alarms. Stop minimizing what this is. These are violent criminals.

Any update on the condition of the kids who were attacked?

Bcc has always had issues throughout the years. This did not happen on mcps property and parents also need to be held accountable for what happened. This kids should be arrested and charged with assault. The metro is a few long blocks away. Parents need to step up and supervise their kids given how they behave although if they are behaving that way someone failed them long beforecc

There's at least one other video circulating on Instagram of the events - it's longer than the one posted at the top of this thread and it show multiple people on the ground being kicked and stomped. The video shows a pretty big crowd - 20 people at least including a number of girls who are throwing punches and stomping someone. Some of the assailants can be clearly identified. The police and school authorities should have lots of evidence. It sounds like the schools did a lot to try to prevent this from happening; maybe they just need to ban student attendance at games altogether? It's outrageous.

Btw there was a BCC student last year who beat another student with a chair. It made the news and provoked a thread here at the time. One of my DCs graduated from BCC in May and I was shocked to hear the kid's name called for graduation - and he got huge cheers from the crowd. Despite the fact that he'd been violent repeatedly during his time at BCC. I have another kid still at BCC and I think it's a fantastic school in many ways. But there's something really wrong, obviously.

Yes they do. This has been happening for many years. All the schools have this.

Why are these kids not in prison? WTF are the cops doing? We were grabbing dinner in downtown Bethesda yesterday evening and they had a bunch of streets closed off for some festival. Plenty of cops sitting around there, looking at their phones.

This is exactly the problem. Imagine being allowed to beat another student with a chair and graduate from that school.

There are no consequences for vile criminal behavior and that is directly the result of the school board.
People need to wake up.
If you care about nothing else you should at least care that bad schools drive property values down.

I’m sure this can be handled through restorative justice sessions. No need to overreact.
