Gang Banging Dear Principal John Deacon

So what happened yesterday is the 2nd in command or whatever for School Safety, the "gang expert," and several uniformed School Safety agents came and caught Dear Principal John Deacon with its britches down. Two students, both somewhat wannabes, though one was wearing a Latin Kings necklace, and the other, who flashes Bloods signs all day, his "muscle," have been intimidating some 4th graders. In fact one of the 4th graders they have been picking on his family is down with the Crips.

Both young men, the Latin King a 14 year old 5th grader awaiting placement into a JHS for some time now and the Blood wannabe when confronted by the gang expert peed themselves. Gave it up like scared little boys they really are. The 2nd in command guy told the boys he will be back in two weeks to see if their behavior has changed.

What is ironic is that Dear Principal John Deacon was confronted about why there is a 14 year old 5th grader. The party line given was it was trying to get the young man into one specific school. But, Dear Principal John Deacon was told that enough already, find another JHS to get the young man into.

Sadly, this all could have been avoided. Dear Principal John Deacon has been warned, told, whatever since OCTOBER that there are gang bangers, wannabes abound in the school. Students wearing beads, colors, flashing signs, yet she chose since OCTOBER no to do anything about it. But, of course, Dear Principal John Deacon will claim when asked that it was doing something to combat the gang scourge. Hey, Dear Principal John Deacon. Hiding your head in the sand and wishing really, really, really, super duper hard that the problem goes away has been scientifically proven not to work.
