Yup.

Police Interviewed Suspect About Shooting Threats in 2023
The 14-year-old student accused of killing four people at his Georgia high school was questioned about online threats, which he denied having made, the F.B.I. said. In a news briefing, the authorities said the weapon used in the shooting was an “AR-platform-style weapon.”


The blame here is 100% on the FBI and local police. This kid flat out told them he would do this, and they did not arrest him.

They are liable.


FBI spoke to kid and parent who denied it. How about blaming the Governor Kemp and Georgia legislature for not having a red flag house or requiring safe storage of guns at home or background checks for private sales of guns.

Second person in a row to cite the Nashville shooting as a counterexample, how embarrassing. Any others?

It’s a recent and obvious one. Why don’t you cite sources for your instantly disproven claim that there are no private school shootings? Hint to those who don’t know how to google or research competently. There have been many.

So many questions.


The kid had threatened to shoot up his school in 2023 per the FBI


WTF is wrong with our country? This kid’s parents should have had all guns confiscated on a regular basis. This is really sick. The rights of this child and his parents were more important than every other kid at that school. And now four people are dead and thousands more have their lives altered forever.


Oh it is definitely the gun nuts’ freedom over the welfare of the rest of us.

Which is why we have to vote out politicians who choose to prioritize their interests.

They are in the minority, and not good citizens.
So you support a police state. Got it


Of course they do they point to the uk as an example all the time

These common sense gun safety laws should be national but aren’t because the GOP is in the pocket of the gun lobby. But don’t worry- only a few elementary school kids and teenagers that you know are likely to be massacred during the school day. I’m sure the rest will be fine.

they are "normal" until they start shooting up the school. How do you find such kids? We need real solutions, not a Minority Report.

The UK is not a police state, dumba$$. It's like other countries saying the US is a lawless state with all the shootings.

Because private schools can deny admissions to troubled kids, whereas public schools can't.

They are well known to school psychologists and admin.

So you do want a Minority Report.

One day, your kid might be troubled for whatever reason. Should they haul your kid to prison?

Not really. Quiet kids are not noticed. And even if there is a kid who is generally withdrawn and even if such kids are noticed the vast majority are never going to do something like this.

We don't know all the details about the online threats last year. The tips were anonymous and it is not clear what was available in terms of actual evidence of the threat. There was no probable cause (per media report). School was told to monitor the kid.

slightly OT-Several years ago I read about a school in WA I think where teachers are asked to identify kids who appear to not have friends. Teachers are then assigned to specific kids to find ways to establish a connection with them. (Relationship with an adult other than parent is a known factor in resilience). They had been doing this for awhile and saw positive changes in those kids. Might just first start with saying hello in the hallway.

(Yes, this could backfire in case of a predator but is not going to turn teachers into predators).

The state must get involved. We cannot trust the word or judgement of just any parent . Do you think troubled kids ever have troubled parents ????

How come these red states think they can dictate how a woman’s womb is used. Come between her and her doctor, but not enter a household that contains firearms and a troubled kid? Therapy and weapons confiscation should have been mandated in this case.
