We did the same during the ‘Nam war - most of us used it as an excuse to get some free time to party.

maryland is THE Freak state. It is truly hopeless there. Escape while you still can.

?
No need to escape. I've passed through a few times, but never lived there.

[hal ogen]

That was said to any who do “live” there.

Huh? I don’t understand....

[the OlLine Rebel]

So I can’t posit a theory just like all the TV commentators do?

If you’re calling yourself a name, pretty much it’s assumed you already fit it pretty well. Otherwise it might be real stupid.

Besides, I know the demographics of this school.

"So I can’t posit a theory just like all the TV commentators do?"

I read the article that you linked to, and the author of the article seemed to lack a basic knowledge of reporting. Nothing was explained or put into context; the races of the protesters and the "perp" were not identified. There were insufficient facts on which to base a theory.

As for what I take was a critique of my screen name, the first part is my actual name, the second part is where I live. Something like that is a common approach in FR.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Oh, actually, I wasn’t looking at your name at all. But you proved my point - Seattle really is what you are!

No, I was referring to the “racist” in the story who posted about himself, apparently.

I appreciate the “nothing to base theory”, but again, I’m using some suppositions based on those 2 things, including my close knowledge of this place.

Update, but still no clarification on who this “racist” student was or the exact nature of it.

I find this real rich, coming from a school known for all kinds of “mischief” which has much more serious “threats” than alleged “racism”.

As to how snowflakey these people are - or hypocritical:

“modified lockdown after receiving what school officials said was a threatening phone call from someone who said they were a parent and did not want their child participating.”

So saying you don’t want your kid involved is a THREAT!

Absurdistan. That’s where we live.

Oakland Mills High should tell those that walked out that they can walk out until June then REPEAT THE GRADE next year. If they are athletes, they can’t play for the year.
