[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JR has out of boundary kids who came in through feeders. As long as that’s the rule, families will get in. What actually matters here is that a kid was shot dead. [/quote]

Schools can send kids back to their IB school if they have disciplinary or attendance issues. They should make better use of this. [/quote]

The perpetrators were likely not from JR. They had targeted Brady before. The question is why was he targeted? Seemed like he had a bright future. [/quote]

Everything that is being said about this kid and prior issues is just rumor. My kid told me it was about some disagreement at that moment where the perpetrator decided to shoot and probably didn’t even know him. [/quote]

Why was he hanging out in the alley? [/quote]

Maybe the same reason hundreds of other kids do. If that’s what he was doing. My kid walks through that lot all the time, it’s a shortcut to Dominos and so many other things.
The only thing that is public is that he was shot behind 4500 Wisconsin Ave. Everything else is rumor.[/quote]

It is literally not a shortcut to anywhere. I don’t want to get all geometry on you a$$, but the two (non-hypotenuse) sides of a right triangle are exactly as long as the two other non-hypotenuse “sides” available in this instance.

The alley is only a shortcut to the dumpsters, both literally and figuratively. (Maybe that should be a sign hung in the alley…)[/quote]

Good lord, are you just trying to get everyone to say the black kid didn’t belong at JR because he is out of boundary and dangerous? Trust me, plenty of people inside JR know that this is the mindset of some of the community. My kid told me some conversations with teachers and students. I mean ok, segregation and Jim crow laws worked for a while? But this mindset, whether you have it or not is a direct reflection of redlining, sharecropping, reconstruction and everything else that was “handled” at the end of the 19th century.  [/quote]

Different person here - but you need to stop being so obtuse. Stop throwing around dog whistles like “Jim crow”. No one is talking about that. People are talking about rightfully not wanting any kid causing death and destruction in a school they don’t belong in.

It’s ok to want the best for your neighborhood and your school that your own kids go to. Every decent parent wants that for their kids.[/quote]
