I am a friend of Alex. I have been in school with him since 7th grade. I am extremely upset with his actions and do not in anyway dismiss them due to his intoxication. I do however recognize a troubled kid with a problem that needs help. I think his arrest is a positive thing that will teach him a lesson and snap him into reality. I believe Alex has a serious drinking problem and may have been heading down the road to alcoholism. As his friend I would never want to see him living with the misery of that disease. Maybe now that he has been taken out of the college world of excessive partying and drunkenness he can really get back to being the fun, caring, extremely bright kid that he naturally is. So, I think it best for all of us to spend our time not on gossiping, joking, and threatening each other on this website, but to think of ways to help and support him. Maybe that means just leaving him be to sort this unfortunate reality out. He really doesn’t need all of us reminding him of his idiotic decision constantly. You all do not have to agree with me but it is just a request. I understand all of your concern. If this were to happen on my campus I would want that student far away from me for my safety. I am shocked but I do know Alex on a very personal level and this is not in his character, that’s why I am concerned about his well being and possibility of alcoholism.

Why are you hiding the identity of your source? I smell a rat.

“Too many people are blaming the kid too harshly when the woman with the gun was clearly and idiot for bringing a loaded weapon to a pep rally and then leaving it in her coat pocket on a bench.”

“And I do not believe that anyone that works for the Park Police needs to carry a weapon to an event not concerning their jurisdiction.”

Wow. How did these morons get into Georgetown in the first place? Not only should Alex Thiele be expelled, but the administration should track down these morons and expel them, too. It shouldn’t be too hard, apparently they’re all on VCW3.

You must have authority/daddy issues or are a member of the NRA.
