Richmond High School was 100% negligent for not monitoring "school" property (the whole property) at all times when there was a "school activity" going on. The high school saying they are not responsible once students leave the dance... give me a break, she was still on the school's property which should be secured and monitored at all times. --An official with the school district defended school security, saying that when the students leave the dance, "we don't take them home."--THE CRIME WAS COMMITTED ON "SCHOOL PROPERTY"...YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY. The school officials and "security specialists" who were "in charge" that evening should all be fired and have any teaching certifications revoked. If those security specialists had any credentials or certifications they should be revoked as well. There is NO EXCUSE for such a horrendous crime happening on school property... school officials and the security specialists didn't even try or attempt to monitor what they could, to secure the school property that they were/are responsible for. District personnel involved with the "stalled" purchase of new equipment should be fired, sued for negligence. I'm so glad these district personnel have nice safe office jobs, while the students they are paid and supposed to protect get gang raped, beaten, degraded to no end. Disgraceful. They allowed this to happen. They did nothing to secure the campus.

A few days ago I sent an e-mail out to some administrators of the school. And I was told someone would contact me. I've not received e-mail, nor have I received received a phone call. As I was told I would, I'm just reaching out now if someone can enlighten me on where I might be able to put my bid in for material cost. I would greatly appreciate it. My personal thought is that they need 120 cameras from my understanding that must be a very large campus. I have not had the opportunity to visit the school yet, but I think I will take a ride over this evening and take a look at the campus IP cameras. I think will work just fine for a large campus. Just a thought.

This hate crime is motivated by two things: 1) the perps disconnection from, and disparagement of, their emotional, intuitive, receptive, selves and consequently their desire to attack "it" and, 2) because of their disconnection, they bond (connect) with others against some one, so they feel connected again. i would bet that none of the perps had a kind nurturing father. Rather they had a father and a culture that disconnected them. See verbalabuse,com for more information.

That's a kind offer you should make to the school district board members, who are having a meeting Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. They are actually looking at the bids for the new camera system that night.

When the district gets sued with a million dollar personal injury and negligence claim they will start putting in the money they need to protect these kids. This girl’s family needs a good lawyer.

I am responding to the recent tragedy at Richmond High School in Richmond, California. I am a parent and a grandparent, and a mentor of many young people. We here at Total Access Lock Inc. would like to offer our services of free labor to inspect, repair, or replace any and all security cameras on the School Premises, for the safety of the students. I would be able to do an immediate inspection as early as this Saturday, if you would like. Hello my name is Eugene Stokes, owner and operator of Total Access Lock Inc.

I am a retired adminstrator from nearby Oakland. We have many of the same social problems that Richmond has. We had on average of 5 dances a year at the school I worked in. We not only would not have unlighted areas, we rented spot lights to go with our filed lights. Every 20 minutes an administrator and an Oakland police officer would patrol the perimeter of the campus. There are always miscreants trying to sneak in or look for trouble. They would run as son as they spotted us. The idea that four cops were inside the dance, that campus security was let go because of overtime concerns is an anathema. The money you collect from the students pays for this. If you do not sell enough tickets you do not have the dance. Common sense folks. My heart goes out to this young lady, and the hundreds of students at this school who have been soiled by this act. They endure enough in regard to their community, and now suffer because the adults working in the institutions designed to protect them were asleep at the wheel. That said I would hope the DA would extend meercy to these depraved young men and offer the possiblity of parole at some time in their futures. This was a heinous act, but that does not mean kids do not change over time. Our society is to quick to execute and sentence kids to life. We already do that by putting them in underfunded institutions without support services as it is. The district and the administrators are all at fault.
