Why are these kids outside en masse at lunchtime?

A "riot" with a stabbing and fistfights broke out outside Ferris High school yesterday as students were milling around outside the school. Jersey City police spokesman Stan H. Eason said a 16-year-old boy was stabbed in the shoulder with a sharp object believed to be a knife, while a 17-year-old boy was hit in the head with a stick. Police met with a third victim at Ferris High School, a 16-year-old girl, who said someone hit her with an “unknown object” on her head while she was trying to flee the fight, reports said.

One kid is found face down at Brunswick at Christopher Columbus, another is found at First and Coles and another was hit attempting to flee.

Why are they outside at all? As one of the 16 year-old witnesses said “This was probably gang-related. It’s crazy,” said a 16-year-old student leaving the school yesterday afternoon. “This always happens at this school. We always have riots. It’s going to happen again.”

ORLY? Again, why are the kids outside? If the kids know it's gang-related we KNOW the school district does too, they just won't admit it. In fact a school spokesperson said they were aware of the riot but had no specifics.

We do, gang related riot, kids outside, Jersey City Schools won't act until someone's child is either stabbed to death or shot. There you go, all the facts you'll need.

Stop letting the kids outside.
