    OMG they were near a school? ( rolls eyes ) If they weren’t dealing to anyone at the school the proximity isn’t noteworthy other than to gin up fear in the locals. Same schools will rat parents out to DCYF with gender dysphoric children and the state will take them and medicate them with puberty blockers and cross sex hormones which have grave consequences and that’s A-Oaky because it’s state sponsored.
