In my days the worst we would do is sneak a bottle of booze into school. My how the times are a changing.

Worst thing we did was smoke in the boys room and cut a few classes.

Yep, I never considered Leesburg safe. Gang activity is probably after dark, but watch out for the summer months when they are really bored.

I had a gun at school every day as I shot on the rifle team. From October to December I had either a bow or a shotgun in my truck as we would deer hunt as soon as we got out of school. This was the early 80's

It's like we live on a different planet.

(I wonder if they have to do a pregnancy test these days before taking boys to the department of juvenile justice?)

Ohhh, not good, ouch! Wonder if mom & dad will be responsible for him since he’s under 18.

One "misguided youth" down and thousands yet to go. Thank goodness for the teacher's action in bringing attention to the actions of these three. All involved probably prevented a homicide from taking place. Too many guns, too many gangster wannabes using them.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I doubt if there is a dad in the household. 85% of the male prison population come from homes where a father was not present, so this kid is well on his way to upping that percentage.

Vaping, not vapping.

I disagree. It’s clearly a lack of thoughts and prayers.

Obviously we need to look at every case individually but....the odds are definitely with your assessment.

Wife and I get our small town newspaper up north and they showed the high school graduation pictures, and one student was holding hie deer rifle.........:shocked:
