Hardly the sentiments I'd expect to associate with a member of an underclass
Well I take the point but what is a headteacher supposed to say under such tragic circumstances? I've never yet heard anyone interviewed about any of these awful deaths say anything other than the kids involved were all normal, decent, well liked, hardworking etc etc.

I have no idea who this lad was but it seems likely from the postings on the message board that he was a gang member. Who knows how much the headteacher really knows about the lad and his background.
