[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think its strange how so many on this forum are minimizing this incident.  From what kids are saying, the guy claimed at one point to have planted a bomb, and, at a minimum, deliberately went to the school to hit another kid in the head with a weapon (yeah, frying pan is weird...but thank god it was just that).  Certainly plenty of evidence that this individual was mentally unstable.

Lots of rumors floating around, not sure what's true.  But just last week there was talk of a student reporting some online threats, leading police to investigat something.  Not sure whats truth vs fiction but I know kids and families are upset.  That's why I'm the poster who suggested the school call a meeting.  It's their job to tell us what's really up.  [/quote]

Not minimizing it but also not jumping straight to "we have a systemic problem on our hands", from what I hear the kids are calling him the "Pan Man" and laughing at it. I'm also hearing that the fire alarm was pulled as a prank. I'm not saying what I have heard is true but it is as true as what you are spouting. Let the facts come out before you judge. Call this  meeting after the facts are straight not because it is the knee jerk reaction way of handling things.

Calling someone mentally unstable without knowing them is also irresponsible.

I've lived in Bethesda for 50 years and this way of handling things is a bit crazy.

The police charged him with first degree assault. Apparently they felt it was serious enough to warrant that charge.
