ReplyDeleteChances of hearing about this anywhere else.....
ReplyDeleteActually...WBOC reported it on the mid-day news.
DeleteShocking I know.
BENNETT CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION..... (BCI) AS A PARENT, I WOULD SUE ALL THE WELFARE MOMMAS of these FIAs. FIA= FUTURE INMATES OF AMERICA. ( the students involved...
ReplyDeleteBCI
DeleteGot control after arrival of reinforcements? That is a lot of out of control time. If you have ever fought without control and outnumbered for even 3 minutes you know it was a dire and very dangerous situation.
ReplyDeleteIf the resource officerwas armed the situation would have been exponentially more explosive
Of course the resource officer was armed...are you suggesting he should have started shooting in a crowd of students?
DeleteNot at all. My point was that an officer alone with a gun in a crowd is dangerous as it can become impossible to secure or control that gun with thise odds
DeletePlease don't assume you are addressing someone niave or inexperienced.
Naive and inexperienced enough to think the office was not armed?
DeleteLet parents beat the hell out of their kids and these schools wouldn't be infested with animals instead of kids..a good awhipping will put a stop to these dam thugs.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% a good ass whippin don't hurt nobody. But now Society won't let you do that because it's called abuse
DeleteSo what happens to the lids now? Are they right back in school after being released to their
ReplyDeleteParents? A BS 2 day suspension???
They will get an in school suspension. It's racist to suspend them or kick them out of school.
ReplyDelete3:43 In order for the parents to beat their kids they would have to care about them. They don't give a shit about them. They are a $'s in their mommas pocket. That's all they will ever be.
ReplyDelete3:34 Get somewhere. Only twisted immoral sickos like yourself would ever think for a second these thugs are ever going to amount to anything. Wise the hell up you pathetic ignorant useless fool! They are either going to DIE a violent death somehow so their "loved ones" would be better off getting the "grieving" over now or they will end up nothing but a number in the state prison system. If your sorry rank arse wants to pay for that then either put up and start paying more in taxes or shut your mouth because you serve no useful purpose making ignorant comments.
ReplyDeleteyeah right "parents" 3:47. Hoe leg spreader and thug sperm inserter is more like it. Giraffes make better parents then the type of scum we are talking about here.
ReplyDelete3:49 PM They are not students they are thugs and should be treated as such.
ReplyDeleteMSP helicopter was there also. Then a car accident out front because parents were evacuating students because many feared to stay there...should be harsher punishments when its gang perpetrators, I hate when they gang up on individuals. Seems more like a penitentiary than a school with each passing day...
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't Trooper 4, it was chopper Willey being nosy.
DeleteCuff them, stuff them into a DOC bus and let nature take its course.
ReplyDeleteIt is time to hold the so called parents accountable. If they had to pay a price, their offspring would either be forced to straigthen up or they'd drop out - either way it would be better for those who are there to learn.
ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!
DeleteExactly. Hold the parent(s) accountable
DeleteNothing is going to happen. That's why we are here. At parkside, 4% of the students account for nearly 50% of all referrals. Nothing will happen. Believe me. A couple days off and back to normal.
ReplyDeleteU got it. Coming from another teacher. Who's gonna teach these thugs? Got 24 years in, the last 2 have been hell. Wonder why? The community has to stand up.
DeleteSo true 5:57! They're never held accountable
DeleteBlame
DeleteOBAMA AND LIB SNOWFLAKE ANTI AMERICANS.
Guess no one said anything about the events that happened at delmar high school.... Simply stunning
ReplyDeletewhat happened?
DeleteBreeding ground for future rapists, murders and robbers.
ReplyDelete3:43 problem with a beating from their parents is they don't know who the parents are. This is result of kids having kids and government supporting them.
ReplyDeleteWell, the Administration somewhat has had its hands tied by the agreement they made with the Obama Justice Department. Time for Jeff Sessions to intervene as he did in Baltimore with the former Justice Dept demands on Baltimore PD.
ReplyDeleteWill the Wico authorities have the strength to ask for a review and reversal of the agreement? IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! Only then will the punishments begin to fit the crimes and the schools will be cleared. So glad my kids are out of Bennett.
So what actually happened? I've heard things but who knows..? The city of Salisbury needs to cut back on the HUD housing so that people cannot live here for $8 a month ..which is coming from welfare anyway. I'm so glad that my children will not be attending such a school as JMB. There are so many things that this country, state, city are doing wrong, which is leading to the violence and drug abuse that we hear about everyday! We have got to stop enabLing kids and hold them accountable! But that also means holding their crappy parents accountable!
ReplyDeleteHere's an idea: hold the politicians accountable. When they do things to maintain office as opposed to common sense hard choices -- vote them out!
DeleteJust wait till Md becomes sanctuary and all the criminal "so called kids at the age of 20" start attending your childs school and law enforcement cannot do a thing with them because the laws will tie their hands. They will flock to Md for safe havens and cause havoc like they are in MoCo county. stay tuned coming to your town next.
ReplyDeleteI wish the powers to be would let Mr. Briggs do his job - he is trying very hard there.
ReplyDeleteweds night april 19 4 to 6 pm hanlins open door meeting. suggest you get yourswlves over there and start asking wtf. but I know none of you will, it's easier to just rage on your computer, heavens forbid you get off your fat asses and demand change!
ReplyDeleteSo we wait 2 weeks (Apr 19th) for a meeting? What, things will be cooled off??? Forgotten?? After easter break??
ReplyDeleteCome on, this FAT ASS wants a meeting NOW!
How many of them are here legally?
ReplyDeleteHow does the community stand up? That is often said, but how? There are enough people in this community who want to see change. How do we "stand up?"
ReplyDeleteThere was an incident at BMS yesterday, that involved an assistant being punched in the face, knocked out and sent home on workers comp.
ReplyDeleteBeating a child mainly teaches this lesson: Beat someone when they don't do what you want.
ReplyDeleteI heard a SPED teacher was picked up and slammed at WiHi last Friday.
ReplyDeleteThey will most likely end up at ECI. No future. It's crazy. The Deputy is there to protect the students but how far can he go? No matter what he does it's going to be recorded and scrutinized.
ReplyDeleteAs a parent told me "it's all being blown outta proportion" that's bs if you ask me my child was there while these lil animals decided to attack one child! Is that normal? I think not! Yep my face was on the news expressing my concern while other parents wanted no parts! Then I'm being told I'm overreacting! Great parenting!
ReplyDeleteI bet the child attacked received the same punishment as the others attacking him for defending his self bka responding.
DeleteI heard it was a fight over a paternity issue ?
ReplyDeletekids that age fighting over stuff like that ?
ok and the guy who was arrested was 19 years old is that true ?
Just a rumor I heard
hmm
my son is in that school to learn
seems of late adult criminal issues are making it hard for kids to learn
Further Now that trumps in rolling back Obama policies maybe one he should look at is, well Obama's Dept of Hud or Education policy's was to make it harder to expel troubled kids From schools
should that policy be reexamined if violence keeps up ?
I saw in the paper that the head of our schools thought it was a police over reaction? What exactly was her opinions of what she witnessed? What did she say when she when she showed up?
ReplyDeleteI am shocked Little Mikey was not on Hannity with his Kevlar pot on. You know the one with five stars across the front. Kids fighting oh my God we have a crisis here. Kids have been fighting in schools for the last twenty years. America has coddled this little shits. I guess they will get alternative school or in school detention. DJJ will do absolutely nothing with this case. We arer all racist if we call out the culprits. Mary Ashanti will blame Trump of course. Throw the bad apple out of the basket at the end of the day you have a basket of good apples. It is just that simple. Stop being politically correct and just use an ounce of common sense. We have lost our way it is such a simple fix. If you have cancer you remove it so it does not spread.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it but the workers (teachers and cops) are on there own while people who are supposed to be leaders sit back and collect that big pay check.
ReplyDeleteShould be permanently suspended!
