So much crime....

I don't have kids and have always wondered about John Jay...why IS the school NOT filled with kids from the neighborhood? Why are the majority of the students coming from outside Park Slope? I'm not being snarky...I really don't know.

Where do the kids who live in PS go to school?

Packer and St. Ann's are filled with PS kids.

James Maldanado, 16 and Christian Salazar, 14, repeatedly stabbed the 16-year-old boy outside John Jay HS, on Fifth Street near Seventh Avenue, at 2:30 p.m. Monday, cops said. The victim, who suffered a punctured liver, was listed in critical but stable condition at Lutheran Hospital.

The suspects fled, but were captured the next day and charged with gang assault, weapon possession and harassment.

Hmm, maybe because nobody wants to put their kid in harms way?

Does the mere presence of outsiders=harm? Or, maybe a better question is does open enrollment mean that the school will attract kids who are undesirable, (and I guess a separate question is how do you define that) and if so, why?

First of all, why are you yelling? I'm not yelling. Stop yelling and people will listen to you.

Secondly, stop writing like you have a learning disability. People will listen to you if you communicate clearly and in a commonly-agreed upon language.

Thirdly, please try not to be defensive. It sounds like you know things that we may not be aware of. If so, state your case calmly and (if possible) with a minimum of capital letters. People will listen if you have something pertinent to say.

If someone was stabbed, something went wrong. Please let us know the full story, if you know it.

Calmly. Coherently.

Of course you are. You're "allowed" to do anything you want that doesn't hurt anybody...

Just don't expect people to take you seriously.

sorry "moomin'" i forgot how serious the real posters on this forum are. btw, i agree with you that these high school animals are a real problem. There isnt anyone i know that grew up in nyc that isn't completely fucked in the head, esp. the ones who went to public school. kids around the city are maniacs, and I, for one, am completely scared of them.
