[quote=Anonymous]The hiding knives in yards thing sounds an awful lot like something a St Petersburg troll (who doesn’t know about US gun laws) would dream up.  As someone who actually used to carry a knife as a teen, I’m trying to imagine a scenario in which hiding my knife on a stranger’s property for them to find would make sense.  Also, DC kids have handguns.  Why would they hide a knife?

This reminds me of over the top troll posts about Wilson when my kid was there, complete with supposed dialog that the posters claimed to have heard _inside_ the school.  It’s like their only idea of American black culture came from movies like Dolemite in the 1970s.  They used what the posters imagined to be DC slang that wasn’t used even in the 70s, much less now. Hilariously, when directly asked questions about the layout of the school (“where’s the library?”), the posters made up answers that revealed they didn’t even understand that the school was multiple connected buildings.

There are a lot of weird trolls on DCUM (and Nextdoor) who make a lot of dumb stuff.  No idea why, but it’s worth noting that there are thousands of people in Iran, North Korea, Russia, China, and Venezuela whose only mission is to post to US and European social media trying to amplify social divisions. Given the volume of attacks on all US social media, it’s statistically certain that some DCUM posts come from those people. [/quote]
