Narrative: On 5 April 2017 at 10:30 AM a physical altercation broke out after two students accosted another student in the main hallway at James M. Bennett HS in Salisbury. Investigation revealed that these two students began assaulting this student. A deputy assigned as the school’s resource officer intervened in an attempt to stop the assault at which point three other students then entered the fracas, and commenced assaulting the original victim.

The deputy was forced to utilize pepper spray to take control of the situation and stop the assault.

This incident caused a significant disruption in normal activities at the school.

Four students were taken into custody and transported to the Sheriff’s Office. These four, along with a fifth student who fled from the school will be charged in this incident. Four of those charged are 16-year-old males while the other is a 15-year-old male. This investigation is still on going and more arrests are possible.

Got 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.

If the resource officerwas armed the situation would have been exponentially more explosive

Let 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.

So what happens to the lids now? Are they right back in school after being released to their
Parents? A BS 2 day suspension???

Of course the resource officer was armed...are you suggesting he should have started shooting in a crowd of students?

They will get an in school suspension. It's racist to suspend them or kick them out of school.

3:43 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.

3:34 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.

yeah 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.

3:49 PM They are not students they are thugs and should be treated as such.

MSP 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...

Cuff them, stuff them into a DOC bus and let nature take its course.

I 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

It 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.

Nothing 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.

Guess no one said anything about the events that happened at delmar high school.... Simply stunning

Not 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
Please don't assume you are addressing someone niave or inexperienced.

3:43 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.

Anonymous said...

Well, 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.

Will 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.

U 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.

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!

Anonymous said...

So true 5:57! They're never held accountable

Just 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.

Here's an idea: hold the politicians accountable. When they do things to maintain office as opposed to common sense hard choices -- vote them out!

I wish the powers to be would let Mr. Briggs do his job - he is trying very hard there.

Naive and inexperienced enough to think the office was not armed?

How 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?"

There was an incident at BMS yesterday, that involved an assistant being punched in the face, knocked out and sent home on workers comp.

Beating a child mainly teaches this lesson: Beat someone when they don't do what you want.

I heard a SPED teacher was picked up and slammed at WiHi last Friday.

They 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.

It wasn't Trooper 4, it was chopper Willey being nosy.

As 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!

I heard it was a fight over a paternity issue ?
kids 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 bet the child attacked received the same punishment as the others attacking him for defending his self bka responding.

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?

I 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.
