The primary instigators definitely are from a team but it isn't lax. Our sons tell us that a lot of the other boys who were there, yes including those from other teams, got caught up in the role of bystanders as news of the incident spread through the group attending Kairos. Word was that it was begun and continued by a core group and then other guys found out about it. They didn't all participate but unfortunately they didn't move to directly stop it either.

The members of the core group should be expelled. Full stop. This destruction occurred at a religious event (of all things) over the course of 2 days. There is NO excuse for any of it.

It wasn't lacrosse players. The core group was from a different team. Agreed that the core group needs to be disciplined through expulsion.

Ta da! Someone finally named the sport.

Isn't it clear that since there are no charges were filed, and no expulsions have yet been made, that no expulsions will occur? Do people really think they are waiting for the court of public/internet opinion to weigh in before deciding to expel?

No one's getting expelled, and all the Gonzaga boosters who are virtue signaling with their feigned disgust and calls that "something REALLY needs to be done" will all move on and shrug their shoulders in a week or two.

Meanwhile Kairos 2019 will go down as "totally epic" and legendary.

Who knows? People are throwing all kinds of sports and clubs (debate?) and even 'no sport' kids under the bus to obfuscate/hide/protect the innocent from speculation of random public trollers. Think about it: if no one is expelled and you name the team publicly, then strangers will always look at any kid on that team and wonder if he was involved. These kids have done far more harm than they probably even realize.

Was the property that was damaged really owned by a Gonzaga alum?

In the DC prep school scene in the late 80’s, early 90’s students were easygoing and mingled with one another across school affiliations wothout friction. The single exception to this was that nobody wanted to have anything to do with Gonzaga. Whilst I’m sure the majority of Gonzaga students are excellent people, there was always a sizable minority that was brutish and constantly looking for trouble. Ask anybody that graduated from a so called big 3 during those years and they’ll echo the sentiment. Interesting to see that not much has changed.

Perhaps, but that's because they were the type of kids who hadn't fled to the suburbs for their education and instead spent their time fleeing from the dealers around Union Station

The same rowing team that broke the high school rules for practicing in the off-season so they were banned from regattas? That team?
Color me shocked that they'd behave like a bunch of entitled lawbreakers.

At the end of the day, these kids were vandals and should be punished severely. For parents to continue to clean up these kids' messes will only lead to problems down the road.

Lol. Clearly you didn't go to school here.
I went to one of the DC "prep" schools in the 80's, and you are so wrong. First, no one called it prep school. Second, the Catholic HS kids always socialized together - no friction except sometimes between Gonzaga and SJC. Gonzaga was never on the outs. Third, the so-called "big three" and other non-Catholic privates were in a different social scene altogether. And no one called them the big three either.

Exactly! I went to one of the girls schools during that time and I completely concur with the second poster. The first poster is a pretender.
