No on is. I think the mom is mentally ill but still believe she needs to do time for the crime. |
| Wow, every rationale possible is being used by the PPs in this thread to excuse the gun owners and their kid (the shooter) passing the blame to anyone else. |
Not true. I blame: The kid The parents (maybe even more than the kid) The school admin (for not calling police/searching the bag/sending the kid home) The laws for giving this kid more rights than his fellow students. I can blame many things at once. An absolutely tragedy that could have been prevented so many ways. |
Let's not pretend they were innocently sleeping with no idea what was going on with their child. They are in jail for their role in this, for what they did and failed to do, not for "something they didn't even do." People have been put on death row for murders committed by others, not be cause they committed the murder, but because they had a role in it. |
I am a PP and you couldn’t be more wrong. I despise the NRA and am practically a single-issue voter on gun control. Many many people failed here. |
You think they didn't do anything? They bought their mentally disturbed, underaged child a gun, and they didn't take him home when they knew he was thinking about shooting up the school. Yeah, they totally didn't do anything. |
I don't see anyone excusing anyone. Explanations are not the same thing as excuses. |
You may not be aware of whose work you’re doing. |
It’s exactly what needs to happen and I am, for once, proud that they will be made an example. If this serves as even a slight deterrence to other parents who allow their child access (whither intentional or not - blood is on their hands) that is a GREAT thing for this country. Shame them, and punish them to the fullest extent of the law. Zero sympathy. |
Yep. Maybe the next set of parents will think twice before getting a gun for their antisocial idiot of a child. |
I don't know about Lanza, but the Columbine kids were not bullied that is a straight up lie. |
Oh, STFU with the endless excuses. |
Wrong. And if you don't like this source, a quick Google search will net you plenty of others. https://medium.com/exploring-history/the-incel-myth-that-the-columbine-shooters-were-bullied-ea275edd5d40 |
