Mr. Yarborough was my son's Principal when he was at Robinson. He was a great guy and we were sad to see him transferred to another school. He was trustworthy and professional.

is scottie lockedd in the loonie bin?

Trying to get answers and accountabilty from anyone in the ffx co. gov. or school system is like trying to ride a unicycle on top of a basketball. They are the most deceitful, duplicitous, underhanded, and advertently obtuse muva futers on earth. This all started with Bill Clinton and gang. After seeing how easy it was to deny, lie, and pass the buck ffx co adopted this strategy for dealing with concerned citizens who pay for their salaries and pensions. Oblama mastered this technique. I believe everything you wrote to be true. As difficult as it is you just have to let it go unless you can get 1000 people to physically demonstrate with you and fight this thing to the end with you. Best Wishes

It turns out that Terrence was doing what Fred told him to do.

Gordon, if you think I'd ever use the phrase "muva futers", then I'll just surrender now.

I thank "dieing breed" for the sentiment - with which I largely agree - but it's pretty clear that he's of the right-wing variety, whereas I'm inclined to despise the far-side of both wings.

Not recently, no.

But, Michael Flatley still appears in my nightmares from time to time.

FWIW, I'll leave any apologies that I made to Terrence buried.

If I'd been a "dangerous individual", then I'm fairly certain that the action recommended by Fred Ellis (ignoring me) would have been the wrong one.

The only thing I ever asked for - beyond my concerns for the safety of one child - was an understanding of how FCPS reviewed and responded to potential threats.

In response, Fred Ellis - who is the head of Security for FCPS - referred me to Terrence Yarborough, and at the same time, told Terrence not to respond to my queries.

I'm not sure how to characterize that response. Truth be told, I don't want to.

These are your children as well as mine. If you think than Terrence and Fred handled the situation appropriately, then please give them medals. If you don't, then it's up to you to respond, because I'm "done".

Clearly, my response at the time wasn't effective. Fred's background as an ex-FCPD officer enabled him to have me "SWAT'ed" for threats that were never made, he triggered a school lock-down (of some sort), and really made my life interesting for a while, whether or not he had any knowledge of or involvement in the death-threats that I received, which exacerbated the situation.

There are parts of this story which I'll never understand. But, I'll move forward with the assumption that I'm the only parent in Fairfax who cares about a crazed individual secreting himself backstage and appearing in the midst of a multi-school celebration. Realizing that I'm an outlier, I'll be sure to look after my own children's safety, and I'll try to not worry about the policies of the County, or the competence of those who protect the children.

Best wishes to you all.

You're an idiot and a menace. My hats off to the school administration for raising the alarm on you. Let's not forget your ranting and raving on the Patch websites with Gordon Blvd that led to schools being closed because of your implied threats. I wish FCPD had stormed your house and emptied their clips into you. Problem solved.

Thats good
is your kid in high school now? I Hope you're doing well

There were no implied threats, and I'm not aware of any schools being closed. Be proud of your imagination, my friend - it will take you places that are beyond the reach of your literacy.

Not quite yet. And yes, I am, thank you.

They put the school on lockdown when you posted both here and in the patch that you were going to the school even though they had told you not to.

I posted nothing of the sort at the Patch, and I posted that I might "Photoshop" Principal Yarborough, but I don't recall anything about going to the school - except perhaps to try to meet with him - and certainly, none of this was "after they told me not to".

I don't plan to continue jousting with your imagination. There's a large group of semi-literate alarmist half-wits on this board, and the "OMG, Prophet Mohamed is going to kill us all!" group doesn't really interest hold much interest for me.

He's somewhat right, I remmeber it well. So you and GordonBlvd were going toe to toe both here and in the comments sections of the story at the Patch. Apparently you had talked about going to the school to talk to the adminstrators, HOWEVER, they had said anything to you at the time about not being allowed onsite at the school. I remember that one or two teachers had seen the posts (here and at the patch) told the school administration and they put the school on lock down. It after this, that they sent you that letter telling you not to come to the school (you shared this letter as well that was postmarked AFTER the so-called lockdown). I hope that clarifies things better.

So sad that all this drove GordonBlvd to kill herself...

That seems like a pretty fair summation.

I find it interesting that you refer to the "lockdown" as "so-called" - I've always felt the same way about it. Other than a Patch article, I've found no evidence of it, or any real description of what was involved.

For quite a while, I wasn't even sure that the letter from the School was real - nobody associated with the letter would respond to vouch for its authenticity. I still doubt that it had any legal weight, but since I had no interest in going to the school, I didn't put a lot of effort into investigating it. The only reason I ever really considered going there was to discuss the situation with Terrence, since he refused to respond to calls from me or my Wife.

From my own inquiries, the school told the patch that it was a Lock-Down, and was put in place after a teacher or teachers read comments and passed them along to the school administration. I believe you are correct regarding the letter. I tend to believe it was more of an action of the then school administration to cover their rumps. Seems outrageous to me that parents of children going to a school, can't even get a simple call back from the school adminstration on any questions they might have for the school administration (of any kind). Very strange and suspicious.

I still wonder... why would someone at the school call the Patch, and nobody else?

My first guess was that they tried to make a fully blown "production" out of it, but the other outlets were either uninterested, or found out that it was a non-story. Yours is the first confirmation I've seen that it even happened - the Police were deliberately vague about it. I'm actually still not sure why they'd feel inspired to contact the media at all.

I didn't know this until months later, but Terrence didn't call me because Fred Elis advised him not to. I finally found that out from someone inside Terrence's office who I assume just got tired of taking the same message over and over. I wish I'd thought to ask that person about the "lockdown" at the time.

In any event, the story is long-over for me. SACC tightened up their policies, and stopped holding events where strangers could wander-in. Newtown inspired everyone to at least a slightly higher level of "situational awareness", and while I still think that Fairfax has some fairly serious shortcomings where School security is concerned, I'm clearly not the guy to address them.

The Patch called the school to verify the story to get get additional comment from the school officials on it.

Whatever became of this? The Patch article was some fascinating journalism. This thread was great at one time.

Sorry... the writing took a nose-dive before the end of the first season, and the show was cancelled.
