You just have to bring race into everything? If the victim was white and allegedly he had an ankle bracelet and was acting aggressively toward the shooter (lots of Wootton kids are saying he was planning to jump the shooter with friends), the sentiment would’ve been the same

It wouldn't.

Kids get in fist fights at Wootton somewhat often. Under almost any circumstances, the community would rally behind a victim even if there was history between the victim and shooter that didn't involve a weapon. What makes this different?

And people need to just stop talking about the ankle monitor. It is unverified and actually makes very little sense.

The community is certainly not rallying behind the shooter. But this situation is long standing and more complex then it seems. I think what most posters here are saying is that school administration failed both of these kids.

As for the ankle monitor, i heard it enough times from different Wotton kids to consider it to be true. I doubt that the whole school body is conspiring against the victim. There are no conflicting statements, they are all saying the same thing.

This has nothing to do with race. Race didn't cause one kid to shoot the other. Plenty of White Christian mass shooters in the US.

What it does show is our school system is not equipt to handle students like this in a mainstream setting.

It also shows guns as usual are a huge issue. And Gun reform is not working or there is not enough of it. Before the 2nd amendment shits show up I am a gun owner. Dictator Don is going to take your guns in a few years fools.

I digress. This happened because the adults in the room from parents to the school system failed these kids time and time again.

The bolded is the issue. What do you mean by “students like this”? You conclude that both the shooter and the victim are somehow different/other/not belonging. And there is nothing verified to warrant that conclusion.

DP - Except a kid in the hospital hanging on for dear life? And this "victim" was alleged to have attacked the shooter earlier in the day (which the shooter claimed the other party was the aggressor), yet last year the same person claimed to have been bullied and mom claims they were not permitted to transfer schools last year even though the new Principal was supposed to be sensitive to those needs?

I believe both children needed help, for which the MCPS Principal, Central Office, and Board of Education failed to provide and instead left the families to fend for themselves. Now we see the results of such negligence and failure of duty to protect the children under their care.

I also highlighted your bias, which shows how you twisted statements and added your own conjecture. Yes, I do admit there is a racist on this thread. It's you.

A student was shot in school. Yes, I absolutely have sympathy for that student. And do should every decent human being.

The fact that people on this board are acting like "he deserved it" is disgusting. And I believe people would not be acting that way if the victim has different demographics.

NP. What punishment does a serial “bully” deserve? The bully knows what s/he is doing is wrong, yet does it anyway (often to the same victim) for years on end. It’s not a capital crime, but the trauma bullies cause is very real and can inflict deep emotional scars on their victims that never heal. Kids who are bullied are far more prone to suicide - both as kids and adults. Even if this doesn’t happen, the victim’s life is never the same and they will not reach their full potential. What punishment does the bully deserve if that happens?

Adults are supposed to protect kids when in school. They fail at this time and time again, often ignoring the problem or giving a slap on the wrist to the bully.

mental healthcare provider, wearing an ankle monitor, that he and another kid 'jumped' the shooter earlier in the day

Literally do not understand what you are talking about.

But let me make sure I understand something...you think students who have a mental healthcare provider should be expelled from school?

If it turns out the kid was wearing an ankle monitor (i.e. already found by a judge necessary to wear one) and if other indicators as to the threat posed to students were not acted upon, how is that not a smoking gun that the shooting incident could have been partially or completely avoided?

You seem to literally be hanging off of every word grasping for straws. I'm thinking of the safety of ALL kids while you, on the other hand, seem to be playing games?
