I think I just blame society as a whole.

The parents are probably too exhausted from their minimum wage jobs, had poor role models, and are passing some of this on. The school for trying to provide something nice when they and their community obviously can't afford it or have the tools to plan and implement it. The police for not being supercops after probably working 60 hours that week already.

I don't think the outcome could have been foreseen or avoided really. I don't think the principal should resign for trying to give the school something nice, the alternative of no school events for poor schools seems a bit harsh. Communities complain that teens are out of control, I don't think the solution is a principal that cares a little bit resigning, but then again, maybe a principal that likes to point fingers resigning might be good.

I just think the blame lays a lot wider than any specific group here.
