It started in the low rent areas. Police will only care it hits the w school districts.
Rockville police sent out the alert. Got anymore stupid things to say?

There has been at least one bear in Rockville for awhile. There are fairly regular (as in once a year or so) sightings at Christ Episcopal School, which isn't far from RM.

I cannot imagine being the principal and having to google best practices to avoiding pissing off a bear to include in an e-mail to parents. Including tips like staying in your vehicle if you see the bear outside, or standing on 'tiptoes' with your arms raised to appear bigger.
My child is convinced this is a dog and that everyone is stupid. It's totally making the rounds on SnapChat, everyone is posting stories, all freaked out.
Long live stupidity, amplified by social. But it makes for excellent DCUM fodder, so let the sniping begin.
Pity the principal that has stupid parents like you.

Outdoor cameras… that’s how they know it’s a bear.

Actually, there is a video that City of Rockville posted on Facebook with the bear in it. I think it was a legit sighting.

There are bears in this area. One was in the parking lot of Bishop O’Connell last year.
