Father Who Gave Alleged Apalachee High School Shooter a Rifle Convicted on 27 Charges

Not a fan of this trend of convicting parents for the crimes of their children, though I will admit this was a pretty egregious case. His son outright idolized school shooters.

Every time one of these is victorious the bar is lowered a little bit. At some point just having fun’s in your house will be a crime if used in a crime.

Definitely agree with the sentiment, though I think this case was an easier win (for the wrong side) than the Crumbleys (parents of the Oxford High School shooter). In their case, they failed to secure their firearms, and they possibly missed some warning signs. In this case, the father was seemingly intentionally ignoring all of the really loud flashing alarms that were going off and also going well beyond just failing to secure his firearms.

Don't get me wrong, I'm opposed to conviction in both cases, but given the conviction of the Crumbleys, this was an easy putt.

I am okay with this, only if it happens to ALL parents.

There was a story in the past couple days of three youth blacks that brutally train raped another young girl. Parents have not been charged.

I'm pretty sure that this case isn't what most people thunk it is. The father is charged as accessory to murder before the fact because he gave his 14 year old son an AR rifle. The son then murdered four people with it. Providing tools or support makes one an accessory.

Much like a getaway driver in a bank robbery can be charged with the robbery and everything else that happened during the crime. If one of the bank robbers inside the bank kills someone, then all of the bank robbers are seen as guilty.

What nobody seems to want to talk about is that the father KNEW his kid was messed up, and gave him a weapon anyways.

If you're going to hold parents like this responsible, then they need to start doing it to the parents of all the underage gangbangers too.

It's not a good plan, but if you're going to do it, do it consistently.

We pay people to protect us why aren't they?
Because they DO NOT KNOW the future, much of this is due to the government removing parental controls. Yes, spanking the little brats, punishment, etc. The schools are also responsible, the media, and the lack of religious training.
You are seeing what happens when, no punishment/ responsibility for your actions, it takes a village crap, no family, soft parenting, etc, the liberalism up bringing.

A Minor Child is one under age 16 and above.

Your kid.

There's a significant difference, in that it's fairly easy to prevent a kid from accessing a physical item you possess. That's something that is entirely under the control of the parent. Restricting who the kids associate with isn't.

Not that I agree with prosecuting parents in either case. It's just not a good analogy.

Have you seen the actual violent crime statistics ?

Didn't read all to posts here to this, my reply here is simply towards the prosecution of parents in these events...

Seems each one of these malicious prosecutions involving a minor/mass casualty shooting, has been directed towards WHITE parents. Correct me if I'm missing something here...

Not a single Black Gangbanger parent has been prosecuted! Not a single minority parent has been dragged into the justice system despite the overall statistical representation of their demographic being responsible for a large majority of violent felonies ... The justice scales aren't weighted differently because of race, but prison population will dictate the evidence of my statement.

Anyways, it is interesting how this has progressed... Now, is it because there isn't enough prison space to hold all the gangbanger parentals? Chicago alone would amount to dozens per week being processed! Lol... And forget EVER of any political office discussing black on black crime. Isn't going to happen!

Anyways, ok folks, back to our regular programming!

The term "brother" there is a reason. Thank the demonrats for destroying the family unit.

Few if any BLM parents, give their 14 year old son a weapon of any sort................

Street guns are purchased by the yout........most go into coffins or Juvenile detention.
Parents innocent.

In this case, we have a far different set of circumstances, and a pea brained kid who hated everyone.........indoctrinated by dad.
