Yet another American school shooting

We’re gonna need Harold, bouncer and kylie to sort this.

And the SES obviously

Shooter was a 6th grade girl. As far as I can tell she’d be 11 or 12 years old.

That is incredible, fair play to that teacher

Seems a bit fucked up at first glance that. Whoever thinks their child would do that?🤷
Yet a lad who brings an assault rifle to a demonstration and kills two people gets offered an internship.
America has been a brilliant country, but it seems to be eating itself.

What’s the back story there? Sure parents have never been charged in one of these before have they ?

They are saying the parents failed to prevent it happening. I presume to deflect blame from the school and avoid law suits.

Opening a can of worms though, if proven it can be argued the school also prevented it from happening

Jeez serious can of worms. Suppose it’s been a staple comment for years though whenever teenagers do anything wrong ‘the parents should be charged’

They should be charged with something alright but manslaughter charges are scarily over the top.

Its a broken state. Fundamentally broken

According to the prosecutor the parents bought the gun for him as a Christmas present and failed to secure it, so they could be found liable as accessories. They’ve been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

They bought a child a gun?? What the absolute fuck?? They should be put down, not jailed.

Standard enough in America mate.

Complete madness.

According to the state prosecutor (I think) he was caught in school doing an internet search for “ammunition”. Parents contacted via voice & e mail but no response. The mother then texted the shooter to say something to the effect “I’m not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught” !!!

If the prosecutor’s allegations are accepted by a jury, both parents will be doing serious jail time.

Extract of a letter the mother wrote to Trump

Didn’t they buy the gun after the school had shown them drawings by darling son of him with weapons killing people and saying help me and kill them?

Don’t think so, the day the school called them in was the day of the shooting I think.
