What? No way… a school not following security protocols to stop this kind of stuff has this kind of stuff happen? That’s just… so…. Crazy.

Outside of a temporary building there is no screening to walk from the parking lot to a temporary building.

as a student who goes to Bowie I can confirm this is true.

I commented on chat yesterday saying the security probably make tik toks instead of doing their job and a kid from Bowie did confirm it's true. Lol

As a graduate of James Bowie High School in 1981 I can confirm the City of Arlington and the school district was far better with less diversity😂

@@DarkmanRides Bowie is in a diverse neighborhood, it’s been like that since I was little. We moved out in 2005 but my Couisn’s still live in that neighborhood and it’s always been diverse.

Trying to understand how the high school and middle school were locked down but Fitzgerald wasn't.

Not surprised. Most of the schools let students walk straight in and out anytime. It's a joke.

This is the result of owning a gun easily not requiring mental check up

No more rules we need more accountability.

[@gracevicki3983]

No it's not. This happened because kids are raised like gangsters.

[@davidrobertson5881]

Raised like gangsters and influenced by liberal Hollywood gun violence.

@@gracevicki3983and that boy that died, his brother died from gun violence as well. So I say it’s more parenting than anything.
