[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First off, please donate to the victim's family and help them bury and memorialize their son. Second, we need to make sure that both the city of Alexandria and ACPS have interventions so that kids are too busy with sports, activities, places other than McDs and the McDs parking lot. Teachers said that they have been breaking up fights with [b]these two groups of kids[/b] all year. I wonder how long this has been going on and why we aren't investing more in our community? DC has a jobs program. Help these kids get jobs and apprenticeships if they are not interested in sports and extracurriculars. We need a community facilitation where these two groups resolve differences. Someone lost his life. This is where we need to put our actions before our words. And let's not circulate rumors on the internet about a child. [/quote]

What two groups would that be?[/quote]

NP here. According to my DC, there were two groups of hispanic gangs and their friends. It seemed to be a planned "meet-up" to fight. There also happened to be a group of non related kids (a sports team) who were at the smoothie place who came over to see what was going on.

There are several videos being circulated and wjla seems to be publishing many. It is a chaotic mess with people jumping and spinning around, and in [b]one case one male is hitting another male and someone off camera tells him to stop "no not him" and then the puncher says "opps, my bad"[/b]. There are only 2 police officers there (probably because the initial call was just for a fight).

Gangs are a real, serious problem.  That's where you have a major problem.[/quote]

I saw that video and it looked like bored kids who went over to "fight" but didn't have real intentions of true actual violent harm like stabbing. I am not saying that makes it better but I am saying it seems that some kids showed up to mess around and someone pulled a knife and it was unexpected/uintended.[/quote]
