he is in custody so the city can release the students from being sheltered. a couple of other students were shot but survived. Before we could digest this four students were killed on the campus of the Univ. of Idaho.
He had been kicked off the football team and I think that could be what made him so mad
The situation is senseless, two words of caution though. First, probably best to make sure the information already out is accurate and that the context is complete. We have seen in recent times too many incidents where initial reporting is erroneous, incomplete and/or taken out of context. Second, you may want to dig a little deeper in to the young man's high school academic record and achievements. It may be possible that behavioral red flags were viewed more as a product of environment and the remainder of the record a case for giving him a chance in a better environment. I am not defending the young man or what he did, senseless violence is never acceptable. Nor am I trying to minimize the grief and pain of friends, family and loved ones for all those involved. My point is merely advocating restraint and consideration until information and story becomes clear as more often than not rushes to judgement usually end with getting at least some, if not much more, of the story wrong. There will be plenty of time to weigh in, and likely much more accurately, when more has been verified.
Great points and make no mistake, I agree with you on waiting for the facts and the kid’s academic history/taking him out of that environment piece. Both @BleedingNavy and I work with kids who come from the same background as this young man. I’m all for giving every young person an opportunity but I’ll add this piece. When a young person has a history of violent behavior, as an educator it’s your professional duty to not to necessarily tell a university not to accept this young man, but give them a background on his behavior history, give an honest yet non bias and factual assessment of the student’s progress. That’s why most colleges ask for at least 3 teacher/counselor recommendation letters. There are a lot of what if’s at this point but I’ll say this. The education system has failed a lot of young people. It’s taken accountability out of the picture. You and Navy are wise men with integrity, more years and experience than me. I’ve been working in the school system for 6 years and seen the politics, negating serious offenses and slapping those kids on the wrist for those offenses. When they’re in the real world, the man/woman in the black robe give them a huge reality check.
Devin Chandler was reportedly shot while sleeping. Transfer from WI went to Hough High. I've heard there were five victims. Tragic for all involved.
I never hated the Patriots. Just hated Bellicheck. Not a fan of Brady either. How anyone can put their career over their family is beyond me.After all these years, I have changed my mind regarding the New England Patriots. They just lent UVA their plane to get the football team to all three funerals.
I expect if truth ever comes out you may find out alot of other issues are involved including some recent tax legislation.
Thats one way to look at if that was only issue. Im not going to judge him when i dont have hard fact to work with.
