[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. A student is murdered during the school day when SOLs are taking place and you are glad that it's not a gun and a knife? A child is dead. I'm an ACPS parent of two students and I live walking distance to ACHS. I am WFH today and I am absolutely heartbroken and sick. [b]This could be any of our children. If you think as a bystander they couldn't be shot or stabbed,[/b] you are wrong. Yes, it appears to be certain kids, maybe involved in crime or not, but a child is dead. We need to enact some common sense policies so this doesn't happen again. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. G-d watch over and protect this child's parents and family. [/quote]

Bystanders are not randomly stabbed.  Would your kid stick around at this McDonalds once they arrived and saw 40 other people there, several of whom I am sure your kid could identify as troublemakers?  I hope the hell NOT.  This was not random.  These people all knew each other.  What exactly the background is, I don't know.  But this is a far cry from random violence.  This is troubled kids fighting each other.  Help your kid identify the troubled kids, and help keep them busy enough they aren't going to McDonalds with 40 other kids.

This doesn't mean we shouldn't do something to deal with the violence at ACHS.  Something needs to be done, because even troubled kids deserve a safe school.  [/quote]
