Law Parents of school shooter bveing charged with stuff?

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

Scumbag pops some classmates, parents supplied weapon 4 days prior.

Interesting precedent this might impose
Thoughts?

If only those other kids and all staff members had guns.

This wouldn't have happened.

 

[RogerB08]

Good. I understand there were also some pretty glaring red flags around this kid that everyone ignored; they all ought to be prosecuted too.

 

[andnowweknow]

If they were supportive of giving the shooter access to the gun or negligent in gun storage, charge the parents.

There is zero chance imo that this shooter didn't have major warning signs in his past.

 

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

Wathcing presser now, they are gonna get some time and seemingly deserve it.
Kid was all over social media days prior making cryptic threats adn flashing his piece. Also parents look liek trash and apparently were very negiligent with the gun and their kiddo.

Just like that Walmart shooting. The employees there sell guns yet didn't use them . Most people can't shoot someone or even know how to properly
use gun.

Is there no law about having guns locked up and ammo separated? Maybe we need to make laws for this. Have steps to make it harder for kids to get parents guns. Parents should have some responsibility.

They should’ve bought him a PS5 instead

Yes, there are laws for not properly securing firearms when you have kids.

And there's no way these parents didn't know their kid was a psycho....

Gross negligence at a minimum. Accessory should be on the table as well.

 

[MicroBrew]

The kids who bullied him should be tossed in jail as well.

No way in hell they can make a manslaughter charge stick. This is political theater.

Public officials want to be seen doing something. No one wants to push gun control because it's a loser. So they have the DA push a charge that can't possibly win and lose quietly a year from now when we've moved on to another story.

They could possibly make a much lesser charge stick. Criminal negligence or something like that.

However, if they get a conviction, this sets one hell of a precedent whereby gun owners may be responsible for crimes committed with their guns.

Edit: learning more about this case, I'm still skeptical of these charges, but his parents know a lot about potential risk factors and did ALL the wrong things. There's more meat on the bone here than I originally realized.

Like who? Teachers, principals, coaches? Other students and parents? We need to be a little more direct about "they" and what exactly they should have done. The last school shooter had multiple calls to the fbi and authorities beforehand, and they were ignored. Now the gov't is paying millions to the victims and their families.

Depending on the age of the kid the parents should be responsible. If your little kid breaks a neighbor's window the parents must pay to fix it. What is this kid? 15yr old? Not sure what the cut-off should be.

 

[Tentacle Grape]

so how do you feel about bail??? how do you feel about parole??? they often go right back to committing crimes...

 

[HockeyBjj]

I don't like home lockup laws for guns as it limits a person's ability to defend their home according to their situation, but I do feel keeping your gun out of easy access of someone who wants to murder people with it is a part of being a responsible gun owner

So if someone uses your gun they got a hold of easily, so it's not the owner's fault if someone broke it out of a safe or stole a key or smashed a window in a car to get to it, to kill people you should be liable for some form of negligence

And that definitely includes kids. I had access to all my dad's guns around age 14ish. If it was showing any signs of not being safe with them or wanting to hurt others with them, it would have been my dad's responsibility to ensure they were locked up and I didn't know the location of the key

What about parents and friends of gangbangers? Should we lock up half of the south side of Chicago?

As much as i hate bullies, this is a slippery slope. If they bullied him into suicide i could see but this is a hard thing to toss in the mix.

If i call you a cunt every day and you shoot mr jones, i should be in jail for your actions? I know this is a drastic over simplification here but im not sure there is a way of doing this where it doesnt become tyrranical nearly.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

That’s awesome. Hope they are found guilty. Not in this case, but gun sellers should also be prosecuted if certain cases.

too soon bro

I guess the mechanic who kept Darrell Brooks Jr's car running is also guilty of murdering 6 and mowing down 50+ people?
