[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why were the kids at the metro? That doesn’t seem like a typical destination after a game.[/quote]

You may find this shocking but some people in this county use the metro as a mode of transportation![/quote]

Not if they live within a few miles of the Bethesda Metro. The Metro does not go anywhere near Walter Johnson. Where would they be going? Wheaton? -- "the Horror."[/quote]
A lot of WJ students live near Grosvenor or White Flint. [/quote]

Or Medical Center -- the area just to the north and northeast of Medical Center is zoned to WJ.  Plus the 47 bus, 30 bus, and the J2 bus, all of which run right up the WJ catch area both depart from the Bethesda metro station.  My kid wasn't at the game, but if he was, it would be 100% normal for him to stop at Chipotle for a second dinner, and then take one of those buses home.  I would not have thought twice about that.[/quote]

+1. My kid is a freshman at WJ. He was not at the game either but would have totally walked to find food after the game.  What grade were these kids involved in the fight?  They looked older in the videos I saw. I asked my kid if the school/ teachers addressed/ talked about the fight with the students today or if his friends were talking about it and he said no.

Unbelievable. So much for prioritizing mental health. [/quote]

That is not true. My 10th grader at WJ felt good about the WJ principal’s strong address to the school on Tuesday about the fight. She applauded the students who attended the game for creating a positive atmosphere, emphasized that the fight was unacceptable, and implored them not to retaliate. Counselor support was offered for kids with concerns.[/quote]

I’m the pp. Yes, the WJ principal seems fantastic. [/quote]
