Crumbley's parents charged with involuntary manslaughter

The fact that she texted “don’t do it” to her son when she heard there was an active shooter speaks volumes.
They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

And to beat a dead horse...There is a reason we went decades or maybe centuries without these mass shootings at schools.
If not violent video games and the isolation of social media, then why?

IMO, the primary fuel for the fire is the media coverage, ever since Columbine in 1999. I've said it a million times, the news loves school shootings. No individual reporter will tell you that, but their 24/7 coverage with special logos/intros with dramatic music... So when kids who are troubled realize their actions will get national coverage, including their name, face, reason, etc... it adds a bit of a reminder that this is an option for them.
Other factors for sure, including social media... but the access to guns has not changed so IMO guns are not a reason for the increase in school shootings over the last 20 years.

Agreed. Thanks for posting that timeline, that is what I was hearing yesterday... the whole picture with guns, blood, make the thoughts stop... it's almost like that's a stereotype of what teachers should look for. Talk about a textbook case of identifying the threat early.

I think the "don't get caught" comment was directed to him regarding what he was looking at on his cellphone in class. If he had been looking at something not related to the shooting (porn?) I can almost, almost, see that admonishment.
But, he was looking at ammo. It's another piece, but I believe a small one in the whole cascade.

Did he have a history of mental instability, signs of aggression, etc., before his parents bought the pistol?
If so, I can see some legal exposure there.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I hope this couple aren't somehow turned into victims, or worse, heroes, by people who disagree with their prosecution.

I’m of mixed emotions about this…
