| It's crazy they even allowed food deliveries in the first place. My school will trash any food that gets delivered to the school. No questions. Just right in the garbage. |

He is to blame. My kid went to Blake last year. Kids weren’t allowed off campus but she knew many kids going out to eat at lunch. The rules were never enforced. Marcus’s job is to make sure safety rules are enforced. |

What does the food deliveries have to do with the shooting? Was the shooter a food delivery driver? (That would just seem so unlikely...).
I have had kids at two different schools with open lunch and I VERY much hope they don't cancel open lunch. It would be an utter sh*t show to try to feel all those kids in the overcrowded building. Being able to exit the building to get food is a really important part of being able to focus for afternoon classes for many kids. I don't know what happened today, but basically every time one of these shootings has happened, it has been some beef from the community where someone came to find the teen at school because they knew that's where to find them. Of course, I'm sure these kids aren't crack shots, so even when it's that kind of situation, there's always a good chance that they will hit someone other than the intended victim. Someone asked what SROs could do -- one of the goals of the SRO program was to be tapped into the school community so that if some student became aware that a beef was brewing, they could alert the SRO who could then just happen to be present at the right time/place to avert the issue. Of course, this didn't happen 100% of the time, but it did happen at least sometimes --- and the public never heard about the fights that didn't happen because an SRO was standing there in the right place at the right time. Of course, gun control would be the most effective way to minimize school shootings, but the Supreme Court has said we can't have that in this country. Also, the current ID system is a joke. I don't know how hard it would be to install ID readers at the entrances to all the high schools, like what most people have at their offices now. So even if you are going out to a portable, you would have to swipe to get back into the building. |

| The kids involved, especially the shooter, need to face harsher punishments. The parents of those involved need to do better. Kids need to be safe at school. Take your fight somewhere else. |

When ubereats first became popular in the 2017-19 time frame, it was a major issue with all the kids ordering uber eats to the MS parking lot or front office. I thought after that MCPS instructed the food delivery platforms to block the school addresses. |

Where did they go to eat? There is literally nothing in walking distance? Probably the main reason they’re not allowed open lunch. |

| Bad all the way through from police saying suspect was a student to the press conference being handled poorly. |

Drug dealer? Gang member? |

You’re just desperate to not own the fact that you don’t give a shit about gun control. If you cared about kids, believe me, you would not be talking this way. It’s pathetic, your pathetic you’re desperate to stand up for pedophiles and women abusers and pretend you care about kids |

That would not fly. I know many admin who order food from UberEats and DoorDash regularly. It’s not just the kids. |

Yup. The police owe us clarity on this. The 19 year old is likely involved in one or the other, or even both, since gangs use drug dealing to generate money. |

Why are you caping for Marcus Jones? |

Maybe he was hunting and it was a misfire like Dick Cheney. |
