[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confirming that the 19 year old was a former Blake HS student. Hence why he was at the school to pick up a friend. He has ties to the Blake community and is known by many seniors.

Furthermore, the gun likely belonged to the student was shot. Which might mean he had the gun on him while he was in school.

Another thing: apparently the principal has been allowing students to eat lunch in their cars in the parking lot. So the reason why the kids were congregating in the parking lot was because the principal has been allowing them to spend lunch there. That seems like a really bone-headed call for him to have made.[/quote]

I think that’s common in many HS.  There isn’t really room in the cafeteria for people to eat.  Our schools are very overcrowded.  
I’m not really sure the solution.  I think one issue is that when I was in HS, you could drop out after 16, so I think some of these kids that just didn’t want to be in school weren’t in school.  [/quote]

They still can drop out.  Many of them choose not to because there's no real consequences for students who walk the halls all day.  Why stay home by yourself all day when you can go and hang out with your buddies and "customers" all day with no worries?[/quote]
