Ok, so how come NONE of this stuff is on the local news?

Not WTOP
Not WUSA
Not even NBC4.


what the fuck?

is FCPS hiding this stuff????!

yes

its not very news friendly, seriously not much of a story, and students' names are confidential and such, it just wouldnt make for a good news story

and FCPS hasnt released much info, so even NBC4 isnt in this

You beat me to this. I figured that there would be SOMETHING on the 11pm newscasts, but no mention at all. This would be a huge story and it is unlikely that FCPS could control all of the information. While names of those arrested, if minors, would be withheld, there were a number of facts presented in the other thread which would be relatively easy to verify. As the parent of two high school students I would be very interested to know whether heroin is now a recreational drug. Marijuana and even cocaine don't surprise me, but heroin is a totally different animal.

I asked both my school board member and the SRO at Robinson about this and they seemed to be pretty sincere when they told me that they had no idea what I was talking about. Can anyone provide evidence that the original poster is not a troll trying to stir something up? This would not be a major news event if it were limited to just a couple of students, but the scale of this incident would have this all over the local stations.

It is a good story if true, but I sincerely doubt the facts are anything close to what was originally presented.

read the original poster, the person DID say "rumor has it that"
although i am a student at Westfield,

and there WAS A lockdown and dogs. in fact, i knew the student selling anti-depressant pills

and I can verify that at least SOME arrests had been made, because i saw 3 of them myself outside of my English Class window near the bus parking lot

LOL we had multiple drug lockdowns when I went to Langston Hughes. You are so sheltered.

langston sucks
carson ftw

From the Westfield & Drugs topic:

"Today at Westfield High School at about 8:05AM, there was a drug raid. Classrooms were all forced to lock down, and the police department brought in hounds and visited EVERY locker pod to sniff for illegal substances. Several students were caught possessing marijuana, ecstacy tablets, heroin, acid, and many other forms of narcotics."

Nowhere do I see the phrase "rumor has it" in this topic and it is written as a firsthand account. What you describe sounds like a fairly minor, somewhat routine, investigation, although a lockdown sounds highly unusual. If, however, this was as significant as first described I think that that there would be more about this in the media and that has not happened.

no it definitely wasnt routine, everything was in a state of emergency (if u will), everyone was panicked (teachers, staff, such) and most definitely OUT of the ordinary.

"At least 10 students were apprehended and are facing expulsion and serious criminal charges. Students possessing heroin needles and cocaine were arrested immediately. Rumor states that approximately 37 students in total, were caught. "

Yeah, see, those dogs, they can smell ANYTHING. So you gotta kick 'em in the throat.

The local media doesnt like talking about rich areas, and wealthy middle class kids getting busted with drugs.

Goth girls are bad and evil, their wasting their lives pretending to be bad ass.
Gothic people are ugly and stupid. Period, no arguments needed.

that does not mean that they are bad or use drugs.

that comment, although from a emotionally broken person, is plain wrong.

yummy

Wealthy middle class kids.

What the hell are you talking about? A little word conflict, eh?

We now know.
