Fairfax County Police News Release:

http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police/news-releases/2010/092710suspiciousdeath.htm

That has got to have been one of the roughest days Westfield has seen. So many people crying, the halls quiet.

There are now articles on WTOP and Washingtonpost.com. The WaPo article is linked below because the comments may be of interest. Otherwise they're just rehashes of the Fairfax Police Press Release.

you're not funny at all. like seriously, shut the hell up. what is wrong with you? you need some serious help saying shit like that.

you people are absolutely ridiculous. none of you really understand what happened to bo. he wasn't just "some drunk teenager." if you really knew him, you'd know that he wasn't like that at all. he was a great guy and so many people knew that. you guys don't even know the real story because their family is trying to respect him by not letting it get around.

plus, if the story about him drinking was true, it could've happened to anyone. whether it be another teenager, a seventy year old, or a twenty one year old. anyone can get hurt when they're drunk. don't sit here saying "he was an underaged teen drinking, that's why he died" because the fact that he was underaged had nothing to do with it. the same consequences could happen to anyone.

AND don't you dare say anything about the rupp family, especially his parents. all of you are saying that they're virginia run snobs who give their kids alcohol. the first problem with that story is that, if he was drinking, it was at the CONCERT which his parents WERE NOT ATTENDING. meaning that his parents DID NOT give him the alleged drinks. secondly, any parents could do that. i know plenty of parents who let their kids drink before they become of age, it's actually legal in certain areas of the country. so before you go mouthing off about how awful it is of virginia run parents, think of other neighborhoods, towns, cities, and states too. they're not the only ones who do it.

so all of you who are saying totally incorrect shit, just shut the fuck up.

look, i didn't know bo, but that didn't stop me from feeling for him. today at school, it was rough for EVERYbody. people were breaking down crying throughout the day, especially during the principal's announcement this morning. on facebook, someone made an event to wear blue to support bo; everywhere i went i saw people wearing blue, and i know it must have helped all of his close friends know that people supported him. anyone at school could tell that something was wrong; the school seemed empty and just so unnaturally quiet. what happened to him was tragic, and he didn't deserve what happened. may he rest in peace<3

i already miss him

Actually, you wouldn't be able to tell that anything was wrong. Perhaps it's just the power of suggestion. And no, there weren't much more people wearing blue than usual. Yes his death was tragic. But it's irresponsible to make up stuff about how his death was received to make Westfield seem like a school full of sensitive people. After almost anyone dies, there will be the five seconds of silence followed by the usual joking and horseplay, with maybe some guilt for not holding a fucking vigil.

Well, God or no, your message is a downer for the family (and anyone else) who could likely use a little sympathy. Angry people - ugh.

lots of people were highly effected. just stop. this isn't even the worst of it yet. so stop. please

I'm not saying whether or not he was a good or bad guy; I'm saying that sitting in the road and running in and out of traffic is dumb. If he'd jumped off a bridge, what then? "He was a great guy, gravity can happen anyone."

Even if he wasn't drinking, I hope people have learned not to play in traffic.

To anyone that gets drunk and sits in the road? Absolutely. It could happen to anyone.

Not a lot of people do that, though. For obvious reasons.

I'm not saying the parents gave him alcohol. I'm saying it's irresponsible to let your shitfaced, pissed-off teenage son leave the house while he's shitfaced and pissed-off. If I didn't receive the aforementioned beating from my parents for doing something similar, at the very least they would have called the cops on me.

I find your claim of underage drinking to be legal in certain locations to be dubious, but I know it's at least illegal in Virginia.

> so all of you who are saying totally incorrect
> shit, just shut the fuck up.

The real danger here is NOT the people making jokes about this. The real danger is the number of people supporting and defending the choices he made that directly contributed to his death. "It's OK that he drank alcohol and sat in the middle of the road because he was a great guy that was well-liked." No. What people should be doing is evaluating the choices they're making in their own life to prevent a similar outcome for themselves.

I, for one, will never drink and play in traffic again.

This is true. Everyone might be talking about it, but only C hallway was "sad." They probably mourned with more drugs after school.

why does everything happen to kids at westfield??

It's actually kind of sweet, when translated:

Bo was the nicest kid I've ever met, and anyone who is coming on here saying that he's wormfood, or whatever, is a sick fuck. Rest in peace, buddy, I'll always remember those good times we had at the lake. I know you're looking down on me. I love you, man.

All I have to say if NON of you have consideration for a FAMILY that is dealing with a tragic thing like this. GROW THE HELL up and pay respect to a famil that just lost their SON~
how INCONSIDERATE can ANYONE be. This was a HUMAN life and now he is gone. RIP Bo, your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I am A MOTHER and reading this crap MAKES me SICK!

And again, I ask, why do you people who loved this young man taking ANY time out of your day to read ANYTHING that is posted on this forum? Why do you care what is said here by people who didn't know him and whose primary interest is in feeding their own egos and saying nasty things to get a reaction out of you?!?!?

Shake the dust from your feet and find better ways to deal with your grief.

Unless, of course, all these "Grow up" "you're sick" posts are from our own local trolls, which I wouldn't put past them either.

Right now, somewhere in America, there's a child dying of cancer on a hospital bed because his family can't afford treatment. THAT is a tragedy.

Then don't read it.

An accident like this will rock the world of a community. The family of Bo must be in terrible pain right now. Friends must be in terrible pain right now. School quiet and odd. It is hard to deal with a death. Tragic deaths are even harder.

A lot of interesting comments have been made on this site. A little more to think about it... What you do in life does matter. You can make good choices, you can make bad choices, you can make good choices and bad things still happen.

Tragic events can be a catalyst to help us think about our lives, what is the meaning of our life, why are we here, what happens when we die. It is important to ask these questions and think about these things and be sobered by the harsh realities of life. Some day, you will die.

For those that are grieving, cry with them, lend a shoulder, give a hug. They are hurting.

If you don't know the complete story than fuck off. He wasn't just "running back and forth across the street" like the article said. I was texting about an hour before the accident, he was having a rough night, him and his parents we're on the best of terms and he needed to let off some steam so he was going to a kids house.

You do realize if you shut the fuck up and quit reacting and just focus on the facebook page, the jokes would stop

lots of stuff along PV Road today

Okay, so I don't know how many of the people posting in here saying that all of Westfield was mourning actually go there, but I do. In a school of 3,000+ there were maybe 100 who were "mourning" and going to grief counselors. The hallways were the same, the mood was the same, it was just another day. Hell, I know a large majority of people who went to the grief counselors to skip class, not because they knew this kid.

And seriously, if he was drunk and lying in the middle of the road he brought this upon himself. If it's true he and his parents got in a fight and he stormed out, then the parents are also partially responsible for not controlling their child. It's common sense.

Just my two cents.

You know given the history of that street, Richter's / Rupp's it's not surprising what happened. Here you have the Richter's kid being a major drug dealer in Virginia Run and at Westfield and living next door and being friends with the Rupp's. You don't think Bo wasn't one of Anna Richter's victims in all this. And if not, I would put the blame square on the parents of both. Richter's and Rupp's. If they would have spend more time with their kids, knew what they were doing, cared about where they were going and getting in to fights with the kids, maybe some kids would be alive today. The blame for all this rests with the parents and now they have to live with it. Hopefully the rest of their kids won't end up as tragic.

It's the parents fault. Not watching over their kids and letting them run wild

put both the Rupps and Ricters in jail for bad parenting

This is really sad. I'm sorry for all of you who have lost a friend or collegue. Personally I didn't know him but I know some of his close friends who are very upset. I can only hope that if any of you know them too you will treat them kindly and with sympathy. and for the rest of you on here please stop making jokes, this is about the loss of someones life, someone who many people loved and admired. You may not realize it, but you are hurting the people who were close to him and making this even harder to deal with than it originally was. He lived and breathed just like any other human being and was obviously cared for very much.I hope that he will rest in peace, but that his memories will live on.

It's funny how the people who make these jokes hide behind a username. If you went to Westfield and said this stuff you'd get your ass kicked so fast.

It doesn't. Get over yourself. Tragedies happen to other people all the time.

Says the faggot named warhawk... seriously why would your name be warhawk?

I don't see any joke in this either. Clearly the parents are at fault. What's a 15 year old kid doing at a concert getting drunk an stoned and then coming home to his parents and they just let him walk out again.. This is on joking matter.

Bo used to always take my backpack and flip it out, dick...

Someone really needs to take a serious look at WHS. Given all the shootings, drug busts, drunk drivers, more guns, more drugs. Being the largest HS in VA. There is a serious problem there and it needs to be dealt with sooner and not later before something again happens and we're back on this site writing again.

Well dueshebag your part of the chess club so it's obvious you deserved it :)

I didn't see Bo's parents sitting with any of us on the side of the road this afternoon after school.

Alright, seriously. I know it's been said before, but some of you low-lifes need help or something. Bo died in one of the most tragic ways possible, but that's not how he will be remembered. Today, at WHS, the sadness was tangible in the halls. Even the cafeteria was quieter than usual. You don't understand what it's like to have known Bo. He may have been one of the greatest people I will ever know. He was an amazing friend, and a phenomenal lacrosse player. Please, in memory of a great man, lay off.

Obviously, none of you had the opportunity to know him, otherwise there would be no jokes, no shit-talking, none of this garbage that has been posted. I, and probably the rest of our community, will not have you defiling our image of Bo. Bo made a mistake, that's all there is to it. You should have heard the stories about Bo, people actually were laughing, something that no one expected would happen again for about a week or so.

This is completely ridiculous. Just because you have the ability to become anonymous does NOT mean that what you say is suddenly okay. For Bo's sake, stop.

OK enough with all of you blaming things on the Westfield community, Bo, and his parents. "Everything" doesn't happen at Westfield, it's a school of 3000 with all those people it's more likely to have something like this to happen. Bo was just a kid, this is an age where people make mistakes the most, they're still growing up and learning. The whole thing was one big bad misfortune. Bo's parents had nothing to do with this they did they're job when they gave Bo a piece of their mind, and they will probably be mad at themselves for the rest of their lives.

Today was rough man, most classes were quiet it was just sad...
Never seen the school like that

Huh, I just told my kid they werent going to wmzq it since it is pretty much a drunk fest anyway, that was the end of it, to each his own.Depends on whos in charge,,,From what I have seen in the Va Run area its apparently the kids

Was the FJ Cruiser okay?

we're not supporting drinking, or choices that anyone makes that are of that kind, considering it never happened. what we are supporting is a young man who we grew to love and care about, and we're trying to clear his name because he would never do such a thing.

so you're saying that you've drank and played in traffic before? maybe you should think about the choices you make, sir.

Ok seriously stop putting the blame on people. stop blaming it on that he was drunk or that his parents just let him walk out because, honestly, you do not know that for sure. Rumors spread about these things. They could have let him walk out, he could have been drunk but can you look someone in the eyes, someone who just lost there son and probably regret it IF THAT IS EVEN TRUE, and say to them that it is their fault, or their sons fault that he DIED? It is sad and something does need to be done to protect all ages of the community in the future. stop placing blame or dwelling on the bad things and do what needs to be done right now, Help Bo's family and friends to get through this hard time. Please for the sake of all things good, humane, and peaceful humble yourselfs, think of the good things. Thank your lucky stars that each and every one of you is still alive and send your hearts out to all those who are suffering losses.

you're completely right. i was just about to say this. thank you.

I didn't know Bo but I went to WHS with him. It's really tragic that he's gone before he got to live his life, and I feel awful for his parents and loved ones, but honestly? If this had been some kid nobody knew or talked to, some kid who sat alone at lunch? Probably almost no one would notice except for his family. And kids are dying every day due to gang violence, AIDs, hunger, etc. So if you're really that affected by Bo's story, why don't you go out and do some good in the world? Join an anti-underage drinking group, do SOMETHING. If he was the great kid you all say he was, he'd want that.

Parents can't physically restrain children after they reach a certain age. If a kid has ingested substances trying to do so may even be dangerous. If a kid is 15 or 16 and is intent on leaving the house there isn't much parents can do to stop it.

Parents (and I am one) really only have real influence up until the time kids become teens. After that the teens get other influences, many of which are not positive. The teen years are really the "parent hope" years, where parents hope their upbringing to that point will get them through teen years and on the other side alive, healthy, and a productive member of society.

Perhaps the police should have been called, but maybe this isn't the first time he left the house and went to a friend's house. As a parent it isn't always a black-and-white decision on whether to call the cops. Those who disagree are usually people who are not parents of teenagers.

Did you not learn anything from this about sitting on the sides of roads?

Parents don't let their kids sit in the middle of a highway drunk, much less out out if they suspect they have been drinking or for that matter, even let 15 year olds go to concerts where they know drinking is going on. If you do, you've lost your ever loving mind.... just saying

I actually threw up today after thinking about what some of the people wrote on this blog.

You should seek help for that eating disorder of yours

Do you see anything in this report that says he was sitting on a curb or that the car ran up on the curb and hit Bo.

Police Investigate Suspicious Death

Sully Police District - Police are investigating the suspicious death of a 15-year-old boy that occurred on Saturday, September 25 around 8:11 p.m. at Pleasant Valley Road and Smithhaven Place. Detectives from the Crash Reconstruction Unit determined a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, operated by a 44-year-old man, was traveling north on Pleasant Valley Road when the driver observed another vehicle in front of him make an abrupt u-turn and stop in the roadway. The driver of the Cruiser then felt an impact and stopped his vehicle. He discovered that he’d struck the Centreville-area teen, who was reportedly sitting in the roadway. Further investigation determined the teen was allegedly running in and out of traffic prior to the crash.

The teenager was medevaced to Inova Fairfax Hospital with life-threatening injuries and on Sunday, September 26 around 9:20 p.m., he succumbed to his injuries. [\quote]

well OBVIOUSLY he was on the curb at some point... he was running in and OUT of traffic. He was trying to get away from all of the cars that he had put himself in front of. HE WAS TRYING TO ESCAPE!!! MURDERERS!!!!!!!

Parents can't physically restrain children after they reach a certain age. If a kid has ingested substances trying to do so may even be dangerous. If a kid is 15 or 16 and is intent on leaving the house there isn't much parents can do to stop it. Had he heeded their desire to stay home he'd be walking the halls today as bored as the rest of Westfield students.

Ever think maybe those neighbors had had enough of the police, DEA and FBI to the point of not wanting them called to that street again. And if you can't control your 15 year old, send his or her ass to Macon Williams or some other school that can deal with them and make them into responsible adults instead of spending on trips to the islands and such.

Don't you just love it when a community comes together and helps one another.

The story IS true. He was reported dead this morning September 27, 2010.

Virginia Run? They should be sending experts from Switzerland to study that community!

TACGNOL IS BACK TO SAVE THE DAY IN HIS VERY ON SUPER SPECIAL WAY! I shall tell you a tale of a time long ago, where there's scratching post streets and the cat nip trees grow. In this marvelous place, there's many mice to chase, and the cats can just have fun all day. But not all was right, there were many a fright, of the battle not too far away. Two warriors meet, and bring war at their feet, and the chaos will last all the day. One is of air, and One is of earth, and when they meet the battle shall begin. When Caturday comes, there will be nowhere to run, and Catnarock will begin. The battle will last for eons, there will be no more peons, and there will be no more AIDS or Gays. And when the battle is done, we shall look to see who has won, but there will be no winner in sight. Both sides lay down their arms, and there will be no more harm, and the world will be at peace again. And with the land back to life, there will be no more strife, and the cycle will go on and on.

tacgnol, what are you, stupid? just leave if you're not going to do anything constructive.

Heres a pic to show you what the bo fellow has been saved from
Attachments:

First, there are only a handful of individuals who know exactly what happened:

Bo, the driver of the 'u-turn' car (who has been named elsewhere in this thread) and any passengers he might have had, and the driver who hit Bo and his young son who was in the vehicle with him at the time.

Having watched the paramedics work on Bo for an extremely long time I can tell you for a fact that they worked on him in the middle of the road. It is possible that he was thrown there by the impact but it is unlikely that he was on the side of the road when he was hit and there are no tire tracks on the curb or the shrubbery where he was hit to substantiate that. The vehicle that hit him stopped at an angle near the entrance to the recreation area that would suggest it veered to the right after the impact. The vehicle had what looked like a bag in front of it but that might have been placed there by the police to preserve evidence.

I know many of Bo's friends are trying to understand and come to grips with what has happened but they are not entitled to their own set of facts. As we mourn and grieve for Bo, we should also remember that the others mentioned above have also been affected by this tragedy - let's not compound their misery by creating new facts.

It is human nature to know exactly what happened and to completely understand why it happened but that might never happen. As many of folks have said here, it is best to remember Bo for all that was good about him even though he might have had faults - and who amongst us does not?

More importantly, what would you like people to say about you when it is your time to die? Perhaps you will be a little nicer to a person you see tomorrow.

Lastly, there were a lot of parents and students at the accident location after school and in the evening leaving flowers and other items to remember their friend. It was a nice show of support for Bo and a community that will get through this.

For all of you people who keep coming back on here to repeatedly make un-amusing jokes about this tragedy are pathetic and worthless inhabitants of this society. Go get a job instead of sitting at home all day on FFXU because you have nothing better to do with your uneducated lives. At least read a book in a pathetic attempt to better yourself.

WHS absolutely was in shambles for many today. Though many didn't know Bo, many did. But just about everyone was in support of him, and the whole situation just brought a cloud down upon the community. It doesn't matter who's fault it is, no one is really at fault, the whole thing was just a tragic accident. It does no good to blame anyone at this point. All we know is that Bo is in a much better place and away from many of the pathetic space-wasting idiots who unfortunately seem to share the air we breathe. May the angels lead him in. RIP Bo Rupp.

And as for all of you moronic people who are blaming the whole WHS community, get a clue. You have no idea how it really is, or what really goes on. Get of your high horse, and if you really care go out and attempt to do something about it. People like you hiding behind a computer and fake usename are just as much a part of the problem, if there even is a problem. We are not the only community with such incident. It's just sad that all the focus is on the bad things that come out of the area. There are so many other places that are so much worse that here. It's just saddening at how all people seem to do is complain about the problems and seem to take no initiative or action when they seem so concerned. It does nothing more than adding to the problem.

All in all, RIP Bo Rupp, I'm sure God has better things in store for you.

"People like you hiding behind a computer and fake usename are just as much a part of the problem, if there even is a problem."


What does that mean? You sound guilty. What are you hiding, creep?

I'm sorry. But I just looked at the total of views like 2 hours ago and I
believe it was somewhere near 14,000.

Are we to believe 2,000 people have viewed it since then??

Why is he so old looking for his age? He looks 35.

Parents should never have to bury their child, but you take that risk if you allow your kid to go to an adult festival where EVERYONE knows there is heavy drinking and drug use. It is a redneck fest. Where is the accountability on the part of WMZQ? I know for a fact that jiffy lube parking lots are full of underage drinkers. And for those of you naive enough to think that good kids don't drink... get your heads out of your asses. teens will be teens; they think they know everything and even after this tragedy, they will not learn. And NoVA/MD teens die in alcohol related cases as much as any place in the country.

i didn't know Bo but we have a lot mutual friends and for people to come here even if it is fairfax underground to say that hes stupid and shit like that is horrible however said or is saying shit like that ur pretty bad excuse for a human being...yeah he was drunk nd yeah the driver could of paid more attention but thats why its called a fucking accident a tragic one at that

R.I.P. Bo Rupp and keep his family in ur prayers cause i know their in mine

You people are so ignorant. Karma will come around and bite you in the ass soon. So keep saying whatever helps you sleep at night. But a young mans life was lost, no matter what the reasoning, it's tragic. RIP Bo.

We don't target Va Run but since your community targets the "lesser" communities, you sometimes will get messages that your community is not better. In tragic times, these messages do not need to be sent out but maybe you should see other communities, with people on your sports teams and in some of your childrens classes, as equal, even though they do not have the means that you do. Treating people equally, regarding of their income, BUT based on their behavior, might help the reputation that Va Run has. In any case, my heart goes out to this family and the driver, no matter how the child behaved or if any mistakes are made because WE ALL make mistakes! May God be wit you all.

I love the people that subscribe to the whole "Karma is a bitch" theory. None of us will be sitting in the middle of a road anytime soon.

If the parents are too scared to control their kid themselves, call the police. If you don't want to do either, don't complain when your kid does something stupid, like play in traffic.

If this kid hadn't gone home first, I would place blame fully on the douchebag friends who let him get that drunk in the first place, then didn't have their buddy's back when he got 86'ed. I'd even wag my finger at the people who bounced a kid for being drunk and didn't bother to call the cops. But, he made contact with the parents, which should have been enough to prevent this. I'll fully agree that what happened to him sucked, but this was completely preventable in multiple ways.

The lack of sympathy has to do with this not being an "unfortunate tragedy" like everyone's saying it is. A kid with cancer is a tragedy. A meteor crashing into someone's bed while they're sleeping would be a tragedy. The only tragedy in this is that the people who could have prevented it failed to do so. People die when they do dumb shit with nobody around to stop them. It may not be what people want to hear, but that doesn't change the math of the situation.

Hopefully, at the very least, the friends and family involved in this learned what NOT to do next time.

GUYS, KARMA GOT BO FIRST. HE MADE A GIRL CRY ON HER BIRTHDAY LAST YEAR. AND TRIED TO RUN ANOTHER KID OVER WITH SOME FRIENDS. IRONNNNYYYYYYY

Some of these comments sicken me. I never knew Bo, but what I've heard thus far, he seems like an average teen.
I'm a little confused on the crash though...If the car in front of his made an abrupt u-turn and stopped, why wouldn't he get out of his car if he saw a kid on the ground? That doesn't make any sense. If I was driving and I almost hit a kid, I would surely get out of the car to see if he was okay.

Speculation is that the first car saw his friend in the street and turned to help him get out of the street. As he was doing that, the second car (perhaps distracted by the first car) hit Bo. The first car driver did not have time to get out of his car before Bo was hit... unfortunately, he probably saw it happen first-hand straight on.

Hey, I won the dead pool!

Let me first start by say'n...
To the Rupp Family..My love and heart-felt prays go out to you!

For those of you who have been on here talking about the details of this accident...well ..they are not important!The who, when, where or why's are of no importants.. We as a community have lost another shining light, that will never have a chance to show us what they could have been.
Everytime we loose a child..no matter what age or race.. we have lost another part of out future! We should stop and say a prayer not only for his family but for all the people who's lifes he touched and who's lives will be touched by this loss..!
I do not have to be his mother to feel her pain
I do not have to be a family member to cry for their loss
I do not have to have known him, to know that he was loved and will be missed
When a child is lost...The whole world should cry!

There's no such thing as karma and there's no such thing as God. Bad shit happens to good people, good shit happens to bad people. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to wake the fuck up and open their eyes, because they're just being juvenile and naive.

You can bet the cops are looking for the ADULT who purchased the alcohol. That person needs a good lawyer.

Yo Bo Rupp, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but I had one of the best underage alcohol related deaths of all time!

If you have ever been to an event at Jiffy Lube (JLL) you know that the parking lot is full of parties which are pretty generous about handing out drinks, so I would not assume that an older friend or a friend's parents supplied the alcohol. I am all for people having a good time, but neither the Prince William County police nor the staff at JLL will take the steps needed to at least curtail the the rampant underage drinking problem at this venue. A little enforcement goes a long way and I don't think that you need 100s of officers to monitor this. A dozen or so cameras could be monitored remotely and aggressive spot checks would be a start. Underage and under the influence, no matter what you blow on the breathalyzer gets you tossed with a call to your parent or guardian to get you.
