Kids were on the baseball field and a local preschool had its kids out a block away. MPD needs to be in the community more and patrolling these hot spots.

That is actually false, the pre-school was closed for the afternoon for teacher's appreciation day. But they would typically be out at that time. A lot of kids of all ages are in that area constantly though.

Which daycare are you talking about? 2 birds or Communikids?

Schools can send kids back to their IB school if they have disciplinary or attendance issues. They should make better use of this.

Communikids was open and had kids out at their time. They sent a full email to parents outlining how they responded and got the kids back to the building.

The child who was killed is usually not the problem.

Where is the child from who has the gun? Where are the children from who are covering up a murder? Those are the little slime ball kids im wishing the worst on.

Wasn't the young adult killed the same person who was beat up last year at JR when a door was left propped open and students from another school came into JR?

Why do you assume this kid had behavior issues? They usually don’t let people with severe issues participate in sports. You all have to remember that the people who killed him are likely his neighbors. Some kid in PG county got stabbed for his shoes last week, this literally could have been over anything.

For anyone who has a child in this class -there is a long history going back to Deal WRT to behavior

None of this is unknown to MPD. They do something for three days and then it’s back to sitting in their car.

It’s really hard to support more funding for MPD when they don’t actually seem to do much.

And the location of the homicide has been a problem spot for a while. The hoodlums hang out by the dumpsters at the back of the CVS lot.

I do not understand why the police can’t just review the video tapes from all the stores in that location, and and put together some wanted-posters to hand out around there. Somebody has to know who these kids are, and they could place them at the scene that day.

Can someone explain why the principal didn’t mention gun violence? Is it a legal thing?

It’s a woke thing.

Polite and naive. A lot of people just don’t want to believe the degree and seriousness of violence in some families/neighborhoods in DC.

Where is the thread about the second (attempted?) shooting? Was that real? We are in a JR feeder and I don’t understand why this thread isn’t 10 pages long by now?

The perpetrators were likely not from JR. They had targeted Brady before. The question is why was he targeted? Seemed like he had a bright future.

That would just shift the problem. If anything they should be sending kids with severe disciplinary and attendance problems to specialized programs, not another regular school.
