Mother of 6-year-old who shot teacher pleads guilty to using marijuana while having a firearm
The mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in Virginia pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to using marijuana while possessing a firearm, which is illegal under U.S. law.
The federal crime is facing increasing scrutiny as more states legalize the drug. But federal prosecutors in Virginia said Monday that such laws protect communities.
Deja Taylor is accused of lying about her marijuana use on a form when she bought the gun, which her son later used to shoot Abby Zwerner in her classroom in Newport News. The first-grade teacher was seriously wounded and has endured multiple surgeries.
Taylor’s attorneys agreed to a negotiated plea agreement with prosecutors that calls for a sentence of 18 months to 24 months in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 18.
There are other charges to be brought, on the non-federal level, against her. Improperly storing a firearm, child endangerment, to name a few.
But it's nice to the the government charge someone with admitting to drug use when applying for a gun permit. Gotta keep the streets safe from these moms.

The BATF and FBI had to read it. And investigate.
These things take time, you know. Especially since the FBI was having to protect politicians (Clinton, Biden, et al.). They are very busy people down there in their butt-ugly building...

The more interesting part of this case is how many warnings the school had that this kid had a gun. The kid had been showing it to classmates all day, and word had gotten all the way up to the principal, who did nothing. The theory goes, that schools are hesitant to punish black or brown kids, because systemic racism stats.
Education is extremely important.

The FBI is chasing down an entire inbox worth of leads. They try to understand entire picture before they make any charges, they don’t just pause to charge on first evidence of a crime.
By the way, did you hear the threat from Biden’s legal team that indicates they’re expecting the firearm charge?

Right now, I find it incredulous that anybody would defend the FBI. At least at the senior management level.

Yup and the teacher is suing for tens of millions of bucks.

I know plenty of folks there, you'd be surprised how boring and non-political/strategic it all is. It's all procedures and paperwork, and folks wearing suits while also armed. Even the building itself is boring, if not offensively so. Heck, that dude who was "fixing" the flag on the stage before Jack spoke? One of my top 3 friends, lol.

The leftist mind virus has infiltrated institutions and businesses, to the extent that if you want to get ahead on the status ladder, you have to think and say the right things politically. One does not have to think too hard, to be able to predict the sorts of things people will think and say, as they live in those environments. It's a peculiarity of the human mind, that we end up believing, and feeling, that the socially advantageous received ideas, are the true ideas. 89th, based on what you know of the FBI, how would a Trump supporter be thought of there? Could one safely be an outspoken Trump supporter, like one could obviously be an outspoken Trump hater? If the answer to that is no, how about extending that to being an outspoken Republican?

It was a "Workplace Injury."
https://www.denverpost.com/2023/05/03/educators-outraged-teacher-shot-in-school-workplace-injury/
The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.
The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.
James Graves, the president of the Newport News teachers union, says that argument is “ridiculous.”
“This is not military, this is not the police department. This is an education system,” Graves said in an interview Wednesday.
In a Facebook statement posted Tuesday, Graves said, “These lawyers have started a significant hurricane in our district by saying that being shot is part of what teachers signed up for.”Such statements, he said, are “a slap in our faces.”
