[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The police are probably waiting until they have a strong case to charge the shooter's parents. His parent's were negligent and he should not have had access to an uber/lyft account, a car, and should not have unsupervised time.

This was a two-parent home with financial capital. They were well-aware of his state of mind.

So mentally ill people should not have access to Uber?  They will argue that he was supervised; they thought he was in the house. They are not required to have a 24 hour guard posted, watching him.

I agree that his parents should be charged, but the only thing, legally, I think they can get them on is that he had access to their guns.[/quote]

[b]He[/b] should not have access to Uber/Lyft. Stop quoting things that are not there. The parents are responsible for their son. The killer posted a picture with a weapon at a shooting range. [b]Can you access a shooting range and be under age?[/b] Why would you take your mentally ill son to a shooting range to teach him to shoot a gun, a long gun at that. They are very responsible for this outcome.[/quote]

For Uber and the like, you need a cell phone, credit card and an account.  I think most people know how Uber works, you request a car from your phone via the app, out in destination, agree on price, etc.  then you get text after text re your car, your driver and your experience.

The shooters parents had been told prior to the shooting that the son was sneaking into their house in the middle of the night.  The parents were on notice.  How was he getting there?  Does he have a secret smart phone and secret credit card to have his own secret Uber account? In all likelihood, his parents had not taken his phone away, at least not at night.  I know the shooter worked at a pizza delivery place so he did have a part time job but my guess is his parents bought him a phone and it was their under account he used.

1) parents kept that gun In Their house
2) parents had notice of his issues via neighborhood grass cutting problem, his shirts, and his remakrs fro. School 
3) shooter already attending a super small school with much support for children with mental and learning issues 
4) Frickers has already contacted the parents. 
5) complete silence from the parents (but they’re probably keeping vigil at the hospital for their son)

It makes me want to scream all the warning signs.

I guess it can be argued that the boy was showing up at the house and the girl was letting this boy into her house.  The Frickers were aware that he had been sneaking into their house on multiple occasions.  The mother was aware of the boy's neo nazi ideology.

Aside from telling other people - the school, his parents - to do something, what had these parents done to prevent their daughter from sneaking this kid into their house?

Honestly, I don't think that any of these parents were afraid of violence from this kid.  [/quote]
