You people are ridiculous!!!

The explanation is EASY ACCESS TO GUNS.

You’re welcome.

Easy access by a TROUBLED KID. Really, This is what’s wrong with the world people want a one line, black or white answer instead of having the guts to admit that these are complex and difficult issues. Parents who have CPS called on them, are not properly parenting and easy access to firearms plus a culture that venerates guns and violence.
Sheesh.

We are already seeing the seed of that messaging planted here: “bullying,” the school should’ve called police immediately, why didn’t they suspend him, etc.

Anything to absolve guns or irresponsible gun owners or the lunatic MAGA parents who are now on the run.

Just wait, it’s about to happen.

I was actually going to predict that this case will become the right wing's next cause célèbre. They'll say that it's prosecutorial overreach, and ordinary, good, God-fearing gun owners may all be at the mercy of a liberal zealot in the DA's office. Also, terrorism charges are for Muslims, not white Christians.

Bingo. We saw it in this thread all day today.

My guess is that the charges against the parents will not stick
Very strange to add manslaughter charges to someone not present at the crime

So you call people stupid and dumb twice to rail against bullying?

It has nothing to do with bullying. Teach your kid not to snap, assault or kill people. Parent. Problem solved.

Bullying is something that people should be allowed to talk about
To me it sounds like he had an unhappy home and school kids sensed that and he ended up as an easy victim. None of this excuses anything, but it should be something that people can talk about without being accused

Sure. Talk about it at home, talk about it with a counselor, be a parent and get your kid the help he is literally crying out for.

Don't go to the school at school up the school.

Your problems should not be our problems.

When are we, as a society, going to wake up to the ugly reality of bullying?

This can be stopped. There is no right to bully. It is wrong and it is criminal.

So why do we allow this to happen in every school??

No, it doesn’t. It seems more and more evident that we need gun control.

Get. Your. Kid. Help.

Not that difficult to understand.

Which part did the school do - give the killer a gun?

In another state, that manslaughter charge would have been called "negligent homicide." What the Crumbleys did more than fits the bill.

In 2017, Crumbley, from Oxford, spoke to a local newspaper about a school project he was working on with four of his classmates. The group worked with a nonprofit in town called Blessings in a Backpack, which fills backpacks with food and distributes them to “at risk” kids.

This is not an excuse for killing. Apparently, the parents were at the school in the morning, so they knew.

Of course there's no excuse. But nobody will even discuss the bullying factor. Bullying is probably too soft of a word; tormenting and abusing the kid all day every day is probably more accurate.

And they claim it is a tight-knit community. Hogwash. It's one of the largest high schools in Michigan with a very distinct and stark haves vs have nots hierarchy.

Extreme bullying victim here. What you claim is, in your own words, hogwash.

In high school is was called all manner of vulgar names, ostracized, hit, shoved, and told to commit suicide by a group of teenagers in a “tight knit” community in Colorado. To say my experience was traumatizing is an understatement.

And yet, never once did it occur to me to pick up a gun and murder my tormentors. This is in NO SMALL PART because my parents didn’t keep guns laying around the house. Guns were never part of my family’s world view, so the opportunity simply wasn’t there.

There are millions of kids that are the victims of bullying. It’s sad and horrifying. There are millions of kids with mental health conditions. I meet both those criteria. And I am here to tell you that I profess non-violence, peer collaboration, and healing at every turn. So truly, PP, you are completely misguided. Bullying doesn’t make children murderers. Having open access to guns and parents who teach that guns are a fine way to solve your problems absolutely does.

Is this sarcasm? Please tel me it is. If not, you are either really naive, really stupid, really simple minded, or a combination of all three.

You do not make sense. You need to help your child if he needs help. Bullying is no excuse for shooting up a school.

Feign ignorance all you want.
