[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so weird.

Honestly, I don't think the CEO could have done anything about the shooting, so I'm not bothered that he wasn't on site. [b]They're not supposed to be full-time at any one location anyway. [/b]Whether he was at another school or at Starbucks doesn't matter to me.

But I find the cross-stories really weird, and the failure to acknowledge them by MCPS even weirder. If the Lakewood principal has affirmatively stated the CEO wasn't there, then MCPS needs to acknowledge that statement is out there and address it - maybe principal is crazy, maybe there's some innocuous explanation, maybe (probably not) there's a sinister explanation, but for MCPS to just ignore it and pretend the principal never said it is really, really weird. It definitely makes what was probably a non-story look suspicious. [/quote]
Which is why we need SROs, who are designated to a specific school and walk the halls.  A criminal is less likely to commit a crime when the police are around.  Could this shooting have been prevent if an SRO was there?  We will never know.[/quote]

I'm old enough to remember when we had SROs, and they were ALSO assigned to clusters. [/quote]
are you old enough to remember that SROs were able to walk the halls and develop relationships with students, and that every  HS principal asked that SROs remain in the HS?  Are you old enough to remember that PG county next door, a county with a high URM population, voted to keep their SROs?  Why do you suppose a county with a predominately URM population chose to do that?

The only reason the progressives in MoCo don't like SROs in the HS is because [b]certain groups are more prone to activities that get them into trouble[/b], like this incident at Wootton.   Crazy that PG county with a black population higher than MoCo chose to keep their SROs.  Things that make you go.. Hmmm...

We will never know if having an SRO would've prevented this tragedy in Wootton.  Maybe the shooter would've committed this crime outside of Wootton, but at least the rest of the students in Wootton wouldn't be traumatized by this event.  Have you seen the picture of the police going into the classroom with their assault rifles drawn, and the kids with their hands up?  How terrifying for these kids.

School shootings seem to have gone up in the five years since SROs were removed.  I am ever so glad to be done with MCPS  and the progressives with their misguided policies this year.[/quote]

What groups would those be? Are you aware that 99% of school shooters are upper middle class white males?[/quote]
