[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, might I ask, do the preceding posts have to do with a student bringing a loaded semi-automatic pistol into the high school?[/quote]

Since you asked, I think the prior exchange illustrates one of the challenges of trying to address cultural or socioeconomic issues that may have contributed to the gun situation. Even a letter home from the new principal is dismissed by those with an agenda or whose desire to demonize those they dislike supersedes genuine concern for students or success of the school(s). When that culture of blind negativity permeates then it makes it very difficult to address a situation such as the one at Wilson where a student brought a gun to school.

Now, if you are suggesting that the thread should be limited to only discussions of the gun then this would have been three posts long. Gun brought to school. Update on juvenile offender issued by school/DCPS/police. Letters from principal. But if that's the kind of fact-based update you're looking for then, respectfully, WTH are you doing reading DCUM?

I must say honestly that I'm shocked at some of the pretty casual, almost blase responses to the Wilson gun incident, particularly against the background of school and other mass shootings that the country has witnessed.[/quote]

I'm shocked that the kid was reinstated at school.  If bringing a gun to school doesn't get you expelled, what does??[/quote]

This can't be true?![/quote]

Not true. He was reinstated for another incident earlier in the school year. [/quote]

If he's a repeat offender, then all the more reason why he should be separated from the school now.[/quote]
