Terrible, sad story. So sorry for your loss.

And it has came out the kids threat was unsubstantiated meaning they couldn’t say for a fact he was the one that made the threat.

Now if they can then it’s also on the authorities so arrest them too!!!!

I can only imagine the backlog as we go after authorities that did not prevent someone’s death because they let out someone, didn’t arrest someone or anything thing to thwart another persons death.

I’m torn on how this is playing out. The previous parents that were charged did play a role, I’m not so sure here. I do know this won’t play well in the long run if it stands.

Colin Noir nails it in my opinion

Man I’m sorry about that horrible situation

I agree the father is liable. When the FBI comes to your house to talk to you about your sons school threats and you tell em he has no access to any guns....then you buy the little psychopath an AR-15....then yer dumbass IS liable.

Agree. Put gun in a gun safe. It's simple.

Does the FBI get a free pass on their screw up? And yes, I'm sure the Dad is a POS.

There is due process. The FBI may not have had enough evidence to charge the boy with anything.

So what if the government comes to your house and says your son did something, he says he didn't do it. You can't find any proof. Who are you gonna believe?

Depends

So then the fbi didn’t actually have proof so what’s dad to do. Making terrorist threat is a very serious charge

Heck how many parents rush judgement over things much more trivial and get after the administration and teachers. Little Johnny wouldn’t do this that and the other. You’re wrong they’ll say. A lot of bad things get glossed over cus little Johnny wouldn’t do that. Listening to the interview with fbi and dad. Dad said all the right things did he not? I grew up in a time where a neighbor could cal dad and I was always wrong. A teacher could’ve called it be hell on earth for me. Those days are long long gone.

We used to argue an AR15 is no different than any other semi auto rifle. Now we’re saying dad shouldn’t have bought him an AR15 and we have determined it is indeed a weapon of war.

So now we have a law saying guns are to be in the safe and ammo stored in a different safe or whatever. Sounds like many democratic controlled big cities. What about 10 round mags being max

Article out now that the Mother called and said the school should check on their Son about statements made that morning. The guidance counselor confused the name and confiscated a backpack from the wrong student. 30 minutes later the shooting started.

very sorry for the victims / families however Im Not sure I agree with some of these charges against the father Without knowing all the Facts. I dont believe anything the media puts out

I am not sure he’s saying there should be an actual law to enforce this issue. (?) To me, it’s a matter of things that used to be common sense when it comes to personal responsibility, aren’t anymore. So you have a troubled child with severe issues controlling their behavior? - yeah probably lock your weapons up and be proactive making sure the child can’t have access to something dangerous during a bout of out-of-control-behavior. If you kid is sure enough mentally gone, you better be absolutely sure they aren’t going to destroy the lives of others around you. Just common sense stuff here. Heaping shame on the dad doesn’t necessarily correlate to a position of wanting the government to put overarching laws on the rest of us

But that’s where it’s headed. Watch the Colin Noir video I posted.

It’s a slippery slope. Like I pointed out. I grew up an accusation resulted in an azz whooping no matter if the person lied. These days it’s the opposite.
Legally you can’t just lock someone up without a law being broken. So far all I’ve seen is allowed. Sonia there a law dictating an age requirement for possession?
Some states probably do

I’m gonna er on the side of “careful what you wish for, you just might get it”

If the azz whoopings were still being administered to the kids regularly, on a zero tolerance basis, and the kids were required to attend church every Sunday, and parents were actually involved with their children and their lives, you wouldn’t have all theses problems in society that we are seeing today.

If it’s proven that he knew there was the potential, he bought the gun and allowed access to it, then he is liable and should be charged. No slippery slope here.

Exactly. We agree where the beginning to the end started
