This is very scary. I can almost guarantee that this gang activity is going on in the Shoals area schools as well. I hope parents and teachers will be on the lookout for warning signs and help to prevent this type of behavior. I worry about my wife, who is teaching at a local high school, when this stuff happens.
I saw on channel 48 a few minutes ago that Gardner said this child has "behavior problems". I'm sure this will be used as a defense to get him off.
"my client was being treated for psychiatric disorders," Gardner said".

You will be hard pressed to find a school that will ADMIT to having a 'gang problem'. School boards don't want to hear about gangs, so any 'gang activity' that is discovered in schools will go unreported (officially). Plausable deniability reigns supreme.
I had a discussion with my teenage neighbor last night and he said he knows for a fact that there are Bloods and Crips (at least wannabes- but that can still get them killed) at some of our local high schools here in the Shoals.
When 'wannabes' commit the drive-bys, sell the drugs and run the hookers, they are no longer 'wannabes'.

In some San Antonio TX schools the students openly snort coke or smoke meth; in the classrooms. Why are they not reported by the teachers is because in order to keep receiving funds they have to have a low incidence report of violations. A little dope and a little fight or two is not a big problem. Keeps the numbers down and the money flowing. Sorry, but it goes on here in schools and communities.

EXACTLY! Whenever new businesses look to move into an area, one of the things they check out are the area schools. No business wants to hear that the local schools have drug/gang problems so all the reports of such activity are 'buried'. Anyone that DOESN'T believe that happens is living in LaLaland.
