Double Murder Near Marshall HS

[Anonymous]

Drugs and high school sports seem to be a thing in Arlington. A sibling and a nephew, both star athletes, used drugs. My parents never figured it out about my sibling. I knew about the high school use because sibling told me 10 years after the fact. He also said other athletes were using drugs. It messed him up 20 ways from hell, and decades later he was once again an addict. My other sibling learned son was doing drugs (this was decades later), as were son's teammates.

If your son is in Arlington high school sports, drugs are clearly an entrenched problem in that scene. Parents, stay alert.

This drug deal gone bad appears to have involved other narcotics as well as several pounds of pot. I think some are trying to suggest it was just pot because they don’t like thinking about the possibility that a Washington-Liberty kid may have been buying or selling opioids.

PP you are quoting. And your point is? Opioid are legalized drugs. It fits into my entire argument.

It may not have been “all from marijuana” (your words). Feel free to adjust your argument accordingly.

Ok all from legal drugs, marijuana and opioids. Better?

Do people actually think that this is not happening at W-L. I am a parent there, and a teacher in FCPS. My HS son is well aware of the drugs going around WL.

Agreed, this is so horrible. Can't imagine what his parents, siblings (if there are any), extended family and friends are going through. Such a senseless crime. They should be celebrating his graduation instead of planning a funeral. So heartbreaking.

Senseless? Maybe if he hadn't been a drug dealer, this wouldn't have happened. I do feel terrible for his family and friends - especially since his parents likely had no idea what their kid was up to, but this is not "senseless" it was the consequences of his own activities.

No respectable doctor would give a teen boy opioids after a knee surgery.

A well-liked, nice DRUG DEALER.

Who needed the money - maybe he was selling to save for college. Don't victimize the kid for doing what he needed to do.

I hope this was sarcasm.

Seems like people are assuming that the W-L kid was the one getting robbed.

Most people who've had orthopedic surgery and are then prescribed opioids to deal with the pain over the next week or so have no issue discontinuing their use. They make you somewhat indifferent to the pain, but they also make you sluggish and constipated. And "respectable" doctors will only prescribe a limited number of pills.

Right. My son got them after getting his wisdom teeth out, but the dr. gave him like 5.

At least one other kid who survived was also a “nice kid everyone liked”, who was known for a nerdy extracurricular, and who was also known in their school as “the kid you see to get weed”. I had mentioned this story to a friend because my kid is in WL, and she said that her kid was in school with the other teen. I don’t condone it, it is very stupid, but how many of you pearl clutchers “knew a guy who could get me a joint” when you were in HS? I never partook, but I knew who to ask if I had wanted to. Nice enough guy - still talk to them today and are grown up in a white collar job.

It’s so interesting how many make apologies and excuses for rich suburban kids who engage in criminal activities.

What legalization? I can't buy marijuana in Virginia.

So you would be okay with your child being the neighborhood drug dealer because most likely he's going to grow up and have a perfectly respectable white collar job? Is that what you're saying?? Why don't you just give him the money to help fund that habit, then? Go on.
