A gang member and his friends were arrested today after they walked into English High School in Jamaica Plain with a loaded gun looking for a student they had a beef with while an anti-gang seminar was going on inside, authorities said.

Walter West, 17, of Dorchester and four other teens were allowed into the school through an emergency exit by a student inside, a source said.

Just maybe those fools should have spent a little more time at their own school trying to learn somthing. We can only hope they will be off to jail or juvie. The kid with the illegal weapon should be off to jail for a year per the current law at minimum.

Dinkydau, thats a stupid comment, defending his second amendment? 1. He brought it to a SCHOOL, I'm guessing you don't have kids yet cause you don't see a problem with that part, if you do, then I wouldn't know what to say. 2. Guns don't kill people, stupid kids like these idiots kill people so I'll agree with you calling him stupid. I hope these kids get locked up for a while, way to mess up your whole life and some stupid beef you got with someone. As Dave Chappelle once said..."Night, night, keep ya b*tthole tight!"

This misguided man-child from the inner city is ready to turn his life around, perhaps to enter Mayor Menino's latest iteration of the ''street worker'' program. .... Feelings, wo - o - o feelings (repeat and fade).

These are probably the same punks who set up memorials when their friends get mowed down by armed thugs. Send these types to the front lines in Iraq, and they would cry for "mommy." This story is getting so old and over-played. Here's a suggestion Massachusetts; Build an armoured "play-pen" which no ammo could penetrate. Lock these "misguided individuals" inside with an assortment of weapons. They then could "buck up" teams like we used to when we were kids and voila! Instant gang war!!! They could fight until only one is left standing. You could charge admission (I would pay to watch them "off" each other.) You could sell refreshments and souveniers. This would free up valuable prison space. Your going to need it by the end of that federal corruption probe. I guarantee the TV networks would be interested in airing the action. The profits could help pay for Wilkerson's or Turner's defense. After all, if my idea did come to fruition, you know the profits would end up in a corrupt politician's pocket. That's the Massachusetts way!!!!

Leave the kids alone. They were just showing off a Christmas gift a few weeks early.
