[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pot, you are calling the kettle black. I think you need to look in the mirror! Many of us in the WJ suburbs, including our family, don't care about your socioeconomic status, who you love, or the color of your skin. As long as you are kind people with a good moral compass and raising decent kids, no one gives a flying f*** about those things you seem so worried about.[/quote] So people there don't really care but they just happen to pay hundreds of thousands more for a home in an area to ensure their children attend a segregated school?[/quote] It's a lovely day, PP. Why don't you go outside and enjoy it, instead of staying inside to pick fights with anonymous posters about reasons people might buy a house in Bethesda? And before you pick a fight with me: DCUM thinks my kid's schools are in Ganglandia.[/quote] Well you don’t pay for a “good” school district if you are so blasé about the SES of your child’s classmates. [/quote] And given that there have been 0 gang related incidents at. any MCPS school in years that's just fearmongering.[/quote] How many have there been on school grounds or involving kids at those schools? Quite a few. Just because no one has been murdered during Algebra doesn't make schools with a gang problem safe.

Were you attempting to make a point by listing them, or did you just google "Montgomery County" + "gangs " but you didn't take the time to actually READ the articles? 🤔 Firstly, you've quoted incidents that have occurred one time for each calendar year. According to the FBI's major crimes, MoCo is WAY below the national average with regards to violent crimes. Every county in this nation that saddles up so closely to a major metropolitan city is going to have violent crime. Please name one county in the US that doesn't? As for your so-called proof... 1. The first link, was a kid stabbing his pregnant girlfriend. This was classified by the police as a domestic/personal incident -- NOT gang related. * In fact, the only mention of the gang MS-13 in the article states... [i]"The 6 foot 230-pound assailant was reportedly scared off when he saw individuals nearby, who he believed to be associated with the MS13 gang..."[/i] So, way to go, you've actually made MS-13 the heroes of this story -- great job. 🙄 2. The second link: "[i]Investigators believe the killing was an act of revenge for a Jan. 12 murder along the Potomac River in Virginia."[/i] So once again, this was NOT a random killing that the community should be afraid of becoming a target, this homicide was in direct retaliation for a previous homicide. 3. The third link: "How Montgomery County is Combating Gang Violence". The *very* first headline states: "[i]Authorities have reduced gang-related homicides in Montgomery County from 26 in 2015-2016 to just [u]THREE[/u] in 2018-2019."[/i] Again; authorities have reduced gang related homicides over a two year period from 26, to just THREE. Great example. 😂 4. The last link.. "Gang recruiting seen as early as elementary school" This is another story about the same kid from your 2nd link, lol... and, this article is primarily about the issues of gang recruiting in NORTHERN VIRGINIA, not MoCo. The only reason MCPS & MoCo are even mentioned in the article, is because the kid from your 2nd link dropped out of Watkins Mill HS in MoCo. Reading is fundamental. Google can be your friend, but only if you actually take the time to *read*. 🤦♀️ [/quote]
