DC Public and Public Charter Schools
Yes you do sound disgusting. First, having history working with youth and gangs, I can tell you a large majority of 15-17 year old Hispanics are in fact citizens. Second, has it been confirmed that the perps are Wilson students? We should not allow this occurrence to bring down Wilson, do you guys remember the kids that got shot and killed in VA suburbs? To the PP that ridiculed principal's statement, she can't win for losing with some of you. She absolutely should not have asked students to come forward. Especially if the subjects are known to the victim or others that already can't forward. You never want a principal encouraging teens to be potential witnesses at a gang trial of its not absolutely critical. Even then, that is on MPD to ask for witnesses not a principal. |
That's terrible to think metal detectors were needed at a West Coast high school. |
I can't follow your logic. First you suggest that the criminals are not Wilson students. Then you say that the principal should not encourage students to come forward presumably because of the threat that gang members pose to other students. If these are "students" they need to be expelled with extreme prejudice and then sent away to a hard time prison. |
I am hispanic but south american, born raised in georgetown and north arlington and nw dc and I totally agree with that statement about deporting illegal gangbangers or send them to fight the war instead of causing so much crime. |
And if they are US citizens what should DC school authorities do ? |
+1. Kick them into jail (if they are citizens) or out of the country (if they aren't). Signed, Hispanic immigrant who's tired of all the BS around criminals of any given color |
Are you under the impression that anyone is advocating otherwise? |

According to a link from a PP, "Members of MS distinguish themselves by tattoos covering the body and also often the face, as well as the use of their own sign language. They are notorious for their use of violence and a subcultural moral code that predominantly consists of merciless revenge and cruel retributions."
Very upsetting. But if any students have such visible tattoos, shouldn't that be a warning sign to the administration and the police? Can the school do what the US military does, which is to ban certain types of tattoos? That could help to weed out certain bad gang actors. |
Prosecute them as adults and send them away for hard time. And ban them from ever coming back to DCPS. |

It may be a suitable metaphor given the weather, but reading this thread is like watching an out-of-control snowball roll down a hill. Let's consider what we don't know:
1) whether the suspects are Wilson students; 2) whether the suspects are gang members; 3) whether the suspects are non-citizens; 4) whether the "suspects" are even the ones who did it. Yet, some of you expect the individuals to have already been expelled from Wilson and put on a bus to Tijuana. Can I suggest that you if you are in the mood to panic, you join one of the snow threads in Off-Topic? All of this speculation is crazy. |
Ummmmm, you are being ignorantly, but amusingly, ironic. That's how MS-13 became what it is today genius. The LA gang members were deported and that is credited with sewing the seeds of the monstrosity they are today. |
NP here. The poster above simply said that if the MS13 gang members who stabbed the Wilson student are illegal aliens they should be deported. You say that the poster is disgusting. Your reasons: 1) a large majority of 15-17 old Hispanics are citizen - so what? the PP simply said that if the perpetrators are illegal they should be deported, what's relevant is their status, not the status of the large majority. 2) we should not bring down Wilson - what has this to do with the fact that the PP is disgusting in your opinion? ran our of arguments already? then you talk about the Principal, again this has nothing to do with why the PP should be considered disgusting. We don't know that happened, maybe these were students with no connection whatsoever to gangs, there was an argument, one student had a small knife and a child was stabbed. But the PP was responding to the allegation that the perps might be gang members. If so, saying that they should be deported if are here illegally seems a no brainer. Do you think that violent gang members who are in this country illegally and go around stubbing teenagers after school should stay in the country? |
| I hope security at Wilson tightens; I worry that the knife was INSIDE the building. If you recall, some people said the kid who brought the gun to Wilson a few weeks back was worried about MS13 |
No, I don't recall that. Moreover, since the kid didn't bring the gun for protection but rather to plant it on another kid, that doesn't even make sense. Can we please stop the uniformed speculation? |
Nope, I am really curious if they are students, didn't know if it was reported yet. I am staying whether they are students or not, the principal should NOT encourage students to come forward unless explicitly asksed by MPD. |
