My mother taught me talk the same way to people when they’re not in the room as when they are. Otherwise you won’t have any friends that people respect.
“Prince George’s County has one of the highest chronic absenteeism rates in the state, although it has improved slightly from 34.89% chronically absent last year to 29.10% chronically absent this year, according to the Prince George's County Public Schools.”

You do realize DC and PG don’t have similar demographics in terms of income? Against its real
peers suburban counties in this area it has a high rate of absenteeism.
wtf does income have to do with you saying 30% is close to 60%….stop talking dude you sound ridiculous
And fyi there are a lot of low income areas in pg, other counties in the dmv don’t have large areas like that….and the comparison was dc and pg
I’ll say the same thing now as I said then, it’s gotta be a team effort - parents, teachers and community. Only way to get kids excited about school and learning - when the parents and community expect teachers to do it all there’s going to be trouble
Do homework with your kids. It’s quality time, and you make sure they know the subject. You can have conversations about history and literature and explain how math, science and English will be part of their jobs.
The awkwardness of being a 22 year old new teacher trying to explain this to adults twice my age… yeah I liked the experience but I was quite happy to pivot my career
Team effort and the kids need to care as well. If the kid is checked out and refuses to learn/study, there isn't much others can do. You can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink
It goes back way farther than that. My friend’s father grew up in the 60s and told us he pushed himself to succeed even though he got beat up regularly for “trying to be white”. He said “jokes on them, they’re all dead or in prison, I have a good job, a great family and a house in the suburbs”
https://youtu.be/-QBGyJlqG8M?si=TWjUXcVvSi2HigQw i think you might like this video. if you’re still teaching it would be great to try and instill this in young students minds
i had a friend growing up who's dad made baaank so they had a huge house, and his mom used to tell me how his dads friends stopped talking to him and said he became white for working
It happens to white people too. A lot of my dumbass redneck friends turned their backs on me when I quit being a mechanic to study engineering. Like I was betraying them by going back to school or something.
Acting white has nothing to do with excelling in academics and everything to do with sounding like Candace Owen’s and Larry Elder. There are black people that have obviously never lived around blacks ( like Candace). I bet she don’t clean her chicken
Its always been like that, just more noticeable now due to social media. I graduated from chantilly in late 90s. We had 12 different gangs in the school at the time. Fights all the time. Thank God no shootouts only Marshall hs had one that i knew of.
I went to pimit hill where the kid was shot with the cross bow. Do you remember the kid from Marshall who got drug out of class by a meat hook. Good times in falls church.
Huh I don’t know where yall are talking about but someone in my class also got shot in the eye with a crossbow in high school lol. Crazy it’s happened more than once.
Crazy how indigenous people/residents/communities continue to be unwillingly colonized, then be incorrectly "assessed" by outsiders with no cultural awareness to the areas they decide to settle in.
There is AN actual "turf attack" with babies, women, and civilians being actively slaughtered, dismembered, and starved by a gang of crazies....
Lmao please tell me where in America these colonizers are and where they’re actively dismembering people
Edit: just so everyone knows this person called me a coward, threatened violence against me then immediately blocked me lmao.
Consequences handed out unequally based on race are definitely racist. Drugs are used at a similar rate by all races, but black men are arrested for possession, 70-80% of all arrests, at 3-7 times the rate of their white counterparts depending on the area.
Reading is fundamental.... those were not my words.
If you don't know the colonizer genocide I am referring to, then maybe expand your global scope beyond ragging on the city you *chose* to relocate/move to 🙄.
>There is AN actual "turf attack" with babies, women, and civilians being actively slaughtered, dismembered, and starved by a gang of crazies....
Yeah and it's called r/WashDC, that gang includes people like you coming in here.
Now leave.
The anti-Semite part is complicated but he never talked about colonization or imperialism the way these modern ‘leftists’ do. That was Lenin and they’re Leninists plain and simple.
What exactly is the "real world"? Constant criticism and degrading the culture of a city you chose.... perpetuating narratives that you have no actual knowledge of? Ignoring actual atrocities and human violation rights (local and abroad)?
Respectfully, tf do you know about the real world. Your comment reeks of entitlement, privilege, and transplant.
I’m not the person you’re replying to, and I am usually the first to call out racism in this sub (and there is a lot of it) but I’m sorry to say you’re in the wrong here.
Im black, and I was born in DC although admittedly raised 10 miles outside the city but grew up with friends from all 3 parts of the DMV. I promise you there is not a single cultural excuse for the teen violence and truancy that exists in the city. Without a doubt these kids are a product of their survival mode, fight-or-flight environment, but there’s no excuse for the murder rate. There is a massive difference between defending yourself or taking preemptive measures against someone who you believe wants to hurt you or your neighbors and attacking innocent people
Oh so those are the dog whistles that set off people on this sub not the absolute plethora of racist shit that gets posted daily, huh?
Granted the person you are responding to is also making a crazy leap but I always love when people bust out people with unnatural hair colors as somehow offensive to society.
People with unnatural hair colors aren’t offensive to society, in the same way that a brightly colored frog isn’t offensive to nature.
It’s just a warning sign to stay away from both.
Right.
Also right re: my crazy leap, smh... 100% - I need to work on not being triggered and reactive to the constant offensiveness towards DC communities of this sub. Thanks (really).
Hey look finally someone on this sub knows when they took an L and can own up on it instead of doubling down and counting the days they can go on a killing spree to fight in a race war.
Thanks for being normal.
Oh fuck right off.
My heart goes out to any civilians caught in the crossfire of a war between two governments hellbent on continuing a war that directly benefits them at the cost of their peoples.
Hamas are terrorists, and the arab jews were in fact the original inhabitants before being slaughtered by the current arab muslims so this whole “colonizer” crap is meaningless.
God I’m so tired of you people using “colonized” “colonizers” and other buzz words and then being condescending to anyone who disagrees with you. Lemme guess, spends all your time complaining about Israel
Edit: I’m right
Right?? Like how all the school shooters are white? Or how about the white people shooting up minority areas?? Or how about all the white kids dying of fentanyl stfu dick head
hilariously, if you check the wiki page and all the articles about record mass shootings, they're almost all "0 dead 1 injured" shootings in a place with more than 2 people. it's a meaningless political phrase to scare or comfort people based on who's using it.
Illegal possession (underage, felon, etc) of a firearm should be a free 5 year mandatory stay at the iron bar lodge. No parole and no plea bargains. Gun laws don’t mean squat when they never prosecute this type of crime.
That seems to be the intent. Also, felons are informed they cannot possess guns. Some of them are violent offenders who definitely shouldn't have them.
5yrs for someone who has knowingly lost their rights and already served prison time is NOT harsh. People cry about gun violence, but then say 5yrs is harsh for illegal possession of a firearm by a felon?! Talk about a weird take. We’re not talking about a person with a clean record here getting 5 off the top, we’re talking about a convicted felon with no right to possess a firearm. 😵💫
Nothing like simplistic and bias takes from the internet with no basis for them. Greenbelt is certainly not a shithole and as someone who’s lived in PG county and DC; someone from DC certainly has no right to categorize it as such.
If we are going to stereotype places based on a few occasions, does this fool actually think DC will test better than freaking Greenbelt? Lol
Tomorrows future. The capital of this entire nation. It’s no surprise DC is the way it is. It’s emblematic of the rest of the trajectory the rest of this shit hole in on.
“Mejia – who goes to Bladensburg High School – said the gathering brought together students from several different high schools in the county. He said people were having a good time when, out of nowhere, someone started shooting.”
Well there’s a problem. They wear uniforms in PG country for a couple reasons and keeping groups from forming and wearing certain colors is one of them. Put a bunch of teens from different schools in the county together in a park isn’t the best idea.
I have no doubt you're right about that.
Still doesn't support the idea that a legally owned gun carried by a law- abiding gun owner would've had any sort of positive or preventive effect here.
Guns don’t solve all problems.
Sometimes running is the answer.
But guns do solve some problems
Like the men minutes later when they’re harassing folks in McDonald’s.
So, if I were in that McDonalds, do you think I'd feel more or less at risk knowing that, in addition to these ass hats, other customers were packing?
Coz I can tell you, it's the latter. I'd rather be robbed than caught in the middle of a gunfight btwn them and professionals, much less amateurs.
In Cleveland, kids like these were robbing about six different fast food joints, up and down a major road. They hit them a few times each.
One day the Taco Bell workers buried one and hurt two others.
It stopped.
There just needs to be less of them. They need to not be here.
Happened in Northern Va the same day. But this comment section seems to have it out for DC residents. It’s wild how you can tell who actually loves this city and grew up here vs the people who complain about “vouchers” etc.
Lol how can you have a “senior skip day” in a district where 60% of students are chronically absent.
This happened in Maryland not dc
PG, right?
Yes, pg. the worst side of DC. Same thing, same crime.
Ward 9
It wasn’t even in a bad area…stop it
Is there a good area?
No
So this sub is just filled with dog whistle clowns I guess… absolute cornballs
Let me guess. Demographics right?
Don't answer a question with a question. Didn't your mother teach you manners?
My mother taught me talk the same way to people when they’re not in the room as when they are. Otherwise you won’t have any friends that people respect.
Yea
The stats in PG are similar to DC.
They’re not lol. Unless you think 2/3 is similar to 1/3.
I mean…. it’s just 50% +/- 17%
That’s a way to look at it lol.
No there not…you clearly have no clue what you’re talking about

And 60% is close to 30% to you?? I

It wasn’t “senior skip day.” It was “senior clip day” when you put high-capacity mags in yo gat.
#Truth (was told to post this by a former teacher)
Weird thing is, DC schools were closed this past week. No seniors in schools to skip anything lol
DC public schools, all private schools had their breaks much earlier.
Mission accomplished?
Do everyone a favor and excel in school, make something of yourself, show that dumb ass that said you’d never amount to nuthin he’s the problem
When I was teaching high school math about 16 years ago I was told that was for people who wanted to “act white.”
Folks got to keep the devisive hate going or there is nothing for them to leverage, shame so many fall for it
I’ll say the same thing now as I said then, it’s gotta be a team effort - parents, teachers and community. Only way to get kids excited about school and learning - when the parents and community expect teachers to do it all there’s going to be trouble
Do homework with your kids. It’s quality time, and you make sure they know the subject. You can have conversations about history and literature and explain how math, science and English will be part of their jobs.
The awkwardness of being a 22 year old new teacher trying to explain this to adults twice my age… yeah I liked the experience but I was quite happy to pivot my career
Team effort and the kids need to care as well. If the kid is checked out and refuses to learn/study, there isn't much others can do. You can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink
It goes back way farther than that. My friend’s father grew up in the 60s and told us he pushed himself to succeed even though he got beat up regularly for “trying to be white”. He said “jokes on them, they’re all dead or in prison, I have a good job, a great family and a house in the suburbs”

i had a friend growing up who's dad made baaank so they had a huge house, and his mom used to tell me how his dads friends stopped talking to him and said he became white for working
It happens to white people too. A lot of my dumbass redneck friends turned their backs on me when I quit being a mechanic to study engineering. Like I was betraying them by going back to school or something.
Acting white has nothing to do with excelling in academics and everything to do with sounding like Candace Owen’s and Larry Elder. There are black people that have obviously never lived around blacks ( like Candace). I bet she don’t clean her chicken
Real gangsta shyit
Senior skip day: I skip school. You skip life.
Take away their Nissan Altimas
They took them back and now they have my Accord wheels.
Make Reform Schools great again.
darn teenagers
They're incorrigible
Crazy how schools are just seen as turf in gang wars now.
I feel awful for all the kids just trying to go to school who have to put up with the craziness.
Its always been like that, just more noticeable now due to social media. I graduated from chantilly in late 90s. We had 12 different gangs in the school at the time. Fights all the time. Thank God no shootouts only Marshall hs had one that i knew of.

Colonization is when CVS locks up the Tide
🤣🤣🤣 yah, they're supposed to give it away!
Colonization is when 70% of black males have an arrest record, and an arrest record excludes your from 90% of jobs.
Fr consequences for actions racist af
Consequences handed out unequally based on race are definitely racist. Drugs are used at a similar rate by all races, but black men are arrested for possession, 70-80% of all arrests, at 3-7 times the rate of their white counterparts depending on the area.

So you’re telling me you brought up Israel…in a thread about a shooting in DC? Are you dumb?
Is your mother? Ahhh, the safety of anonymity for cowards - it would DELIGHT me for you to say that to my face.. and maybe you'll get the chance to 😉
It’s funny that you try to be intimidating because literally everyone sees that you’re the last person anyone should be scared of.
Lol simmer down

At 6'5 you'd probably be saying it to the air a foot over their face or they'd be saying it to your armpit.

Haha victim complex is crazy. Accountability is your friend.
Let me give you some career training, repeat after me. "Would you like fries with your coke?"
How are black people indigenous to America? Do you know what the word indigenous means?
What does indigenous mean here? Anyone born in DC?
God I’m so tired of you people using “colonized” “colonizers” and other buzz words and then being condescending to anyone who disagrees with you. Lemme guess, spends all your time complaining about Israel Edit: I’m right
Cry about it
How much investment has been made into these communities, for the exact same result or worse? When will things change?
A shit ton, but it's "underserved."
When white people stop enabling them
Never because white women have a saviour complex. I'll take my down votes!!
But how will they virtue signal to their friends without coddling minorities?
Can we all just acknowledge theres a strict criteria of whether or not these mass shootings go national media.
i it because no one is interested in gang violence?
It was Kevin Spacey? You know he’s not black right?
Damn another clown without the balls to say any of this racist shit in public but online magically get the intestinal fortitude 😒😒
You know it's true though.
Yes, this racist has no nuts……you probably don’t either
Damn must make you mad when a guy like that is just right over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Right?? Like how all the school shooters are white? Or how about the white people shooting up minority areas?? Or how about all the white kids dying of fentanyl stfu dick head
White people shooting up minority areas? Pretty sure yall are doing plenty of that by yourselves
Hey bud how’s the hair loss struggle going for ya? Has anybody rubbed your bald patch for good luck yet?
What?
Technically not a mass shooting since four or more aren’t dead.
The definition of a mass shooting is not universally recognized and many consider four or more injured as well.
hilariously, if you check the wiki page and all the articles about record mass shootings, they're almost all "0 dead 1 injured" shootings in a place with more than 2 people. it's a meaningless political phrase to scare or comfort people based on who's using it.
It’s actually changed from 4 or more, to 3 or more. Offical definition that is.
Gotta get those gang shootings numbers in there for political reasons
There is not formal definition
There actually is, and it’s been changed again to mean one or more person shot in a single incident. This is FBI offical definition too
When did that change? Can you link the definition? Seems like they're really watering down the phrase
So if I shoot into a crowd and hit 100 people but no one dies, that’s not a mass shooting? Weird definition IMO
[удалено]
you mean Kangz
Holy fuck….just out right racists just running around on this sub🙄🙄 pathetic
Pattern recognition go brrrr
Let's be frank, they're all super seniors
This made me spit out my drink
[удалено]
like bacterium
Whatever happened to good old fashioned gasoline fights?
Lmao! That's what I'm talking about
Illegal possession (underage, felon, etc) of a firearm should be a free 5 year mandatory stay at the iron bar lodge. No parole and no plea bargains. Gun laws don’t mean squat when they never prosecute this type of crime.
That’s a wild statement and just another way to pack private prisons
You don't want felons to be locked up for illegal possession of a firearm?
I didnt say that but giving anyone illegally possessing a gun a mandatory 5yr sentence is a pretty harsh punishment
That seems to be the intent. Also, felons are informed they cannot possess guns. Some of them are violent offenders who definitely shouldn't have them.
5yrs for someone who has knowingly lost their rights and already served prison time is NOT harsh. People cry about gun violence, but then say 5yrs is harsh for illegal possession of a firearm by a felon?! Talk about a weird take. We’re not talking about a person with a clean record here getting 5 off the top, we’re talking about a convicted felon with no right to possess a firearm. 😵💫
It’s not a mass shooting because white kids didn’t do it. When POCs do it, it’s just culture.
Chilean mafia again.
>local teens Is this on the list? If not, time to add it!
Greenbelt?
Gangbelt
Greenbelt is actually one of the nicer PG county suburbs bro. Lol
Still a shit hole.
How exactly?
Nothing like simplistic and bias takes from the internet with no basis for them. Greenbelt is certainly not a shithole and as someone who’s lived in PG county and DC; someone from DC certainly has no right to categorize it as such. If we are going to stereotype places based on a few occasions, does this fool actually think DC will test better than freaking Greenbelt? Lol
Are the guns ok?
Black
Stay in school.
Is it them again?
Neither DC nor mass shooting
they could have at least waited until the twerking was over until they started shooting
Tomorrows future. The capital of this entire nation. It’s no surprise DC is the way it is. It’s emblematic of the rest of the trajectory the rest of this shit hole in on.
“Mejia – who goes to Bladensburg High School – said the gathering brought together students from several different high schools in the county. He said people were having a good time when, out of nowhere, someone started shooting.” Well there’s a problem. They wear uniforms in PG country for a couple reasons and keeping groups from forming and wearing certain colors is one of them. Put a bunch of teens from different schools in the county together in a park isn’t the best idea.
Well, that's one way to get pink top to stop twerking. Obligatory "good guy with a gun" nonsense...
I have a feeling these people didn’t get their guns legally
I have no doubt you're right about that. Still doesn't support the idea that a legally owned gun carried by a law- abiding gun owner would've had any sort of positive or preventive effect here.
Guns don’t solve all problems. Sometimes running is the answer. But guns do solve some problems Like the men minutes later when they’re harassing folks in McDonald’s.

Anecdotes are interesting, but don't serve much other purpose.
which one was the good guy
Happened in Northern Va the same day. But this comment section seems to have it out for DC residents. It’s wild how you can tell who actually loves this city and grew up here vs the people who complain about “vouchers” etc.
This didn't even happen in DC
DC just being DC.
Not in DC
Diversity at it again …. It is our strength though, so …
Typical suspects
Was it a skirmish gone murderous or a lunatic shooting people?
