Gun-toting teen brings school lockdown

ya

this was a very sad thing that happened, though no one was hurt and i doubt he had any intintions of hurting anyone. but the sad thing is so many people are already talking about what a horrible kid, but really he was a good kid. you can't judge him unless you no him personally. everyone makes mistakes,its life. this just happened to be a bigger mistake then others... think about everything he had going on in his life first, and just because he came from a good neighborhood doesnt mean his life was good. he could have so many problesm no one new or cared about. he obviously feels quilty. and just because he is coming from woodstock high, doesn't mean at all thats a bad school.. yeah people who go there are on drugs, um i believe just about every school in this country is the same.. so please dont start things with him, specailly if you don't even know him. you should never judge

Just to let everyone know, the name of the school has nothing to do with the students who attend it. I'm not saying we are dumb because we surely are not, but it is a regular public school, with regular students.

Honey, I hope you meant that you need to turn the violence off entirely....not just save it for after school. You need to survive long enough th get out of high school and get into college so you can getaway from that stuff. You have more power than you know. DEMAND that security be airtight in your school. Your family and your friend's' families have paid for the right for you to be able to go to school and get a good education without having to watch your back in the bathrooms. Stand up for your rights and take your school back! They think that because you have no vote you have no voice and no power. Prove them wrong!

yes i am a bright kid.. some people need to learn when to turn the violence off. thats for after school.

So how many background checks did these "kids" go through, did they have to wait 14 days to be "not disapproved"? Legal handguns in the hands of law abiding citizens have never been the problem, but politicians always go after them instead of criminals, drug lords and gangs.

Bright kids. No wonder they are attending Albert Einstein High School.

A young black male brandishing a handgun...not to worry, I'm sure he is over 21 (he must just look young), passed a background check, waited 7 days and has a Maryland Concealed Firearms permit. He is not at all likely to have gotten that gun illegally, be involved in a gang or drug activity and I'm sure he is a level-headed ,well educated, upstanding member of the community. And if he isn't all these things, on the "bright" side, he hasn't killed anybody *yet*. And even if he does kill someone later, it is all the fault of President Bush and the Iraq War rather than 40 years of one party politics in Maryland.

I realing like reading the examiner I enjoy all your different articles. So other then that the stores are very good. Thank You for your time.
