In retrospect, their defense attorney beginning their opening argument by quoting Taylor Swift ( any lyric but especially using the lyric “Band Aids don’t fix bullet holes” in a trial to convict the parents of a mass shooter) was a legal blunder.
They absolutely deserved their sentence.
I'm just glad we learned our lesson.

Ugh... if you're gonna kill yourself, just do the world a favor and take yourself out and leave everybody else alone.

There's been another high school shooting, today. This time, it was in Winder, Georgia.

It’s crazy to see this stuff from the outside. The deadliest school shooting in the country this year and it barely gets any coverage because it’s also the 45th. This will have no effect on the election, because people have just come to accept it as a part of life at this point. The shooter was just 14!

Crazy stuff. At least 2 students dead and 2 teachers dead right now. Reportedly, the shooter (who gave himself up & was arrested at the scene) was investigated the year before in possibly posting threats online regarding doing a school shooting but denied those. His father, at the time, said they had hunting guns but the kid had no access to them without supervision. If you're a teenager or young adult, short of those guns being in a safe where they don't know the combination or in a spot they physically can't get to (and ammo being hidden), they'll have access to those guns in some manner.

Things like that make me wish every republican was just put in jail. They're just too anti-life to be trusted in society at this point.
Arresting the parents of the shooters when you can prove negligence and knowledge is all well and good but when can we start charging the politicians whose negligence is just as big a factor in this shit continuing to happen?

I attended a school discipline hearing yesterday for one of my juvenile clients. He did wrong and the punishment fit the offense. He told a classmate, suspected of snitching, he would "drop" her whether he saw her in school or in the neighborhood. I did my ethical duty to show the progress he's made aside from this transgression (and i really need his parents to issue consequences in the home). The disciplinarian of record said, "No, in light of the school shooting in George this week, I have no choice but to expel this student."
A whole hour of going over his progress, grades, etc... for the discipline guy to use this tragedy as his justification for an expulsion on a verbal threat. He could have suspended, expelled, or anything in between without invoking such a horror.
My only real hope is that as a very emotional educator, he let his hidden tenderness override his professional diction and was trying a "scared straight" tactic. Maybe? I just felt it was inappropriate. The kid has no prior history of violence just a whole lot of leaving class without asking and vaping. No fights, ever.
Like principal dude, you want to talk about gun tragedy? Okay, good, let's go. You see that vape you caught him with? Your metal detectors failed to detect it. What other metal items are getting past your doors? You want to use dead children and teachers to justify your job? Okay, justify why there is NO metal detector outside of the detention building?
But no, I'm not allowed to call out stuff like that.
Angry enough and then my sis sends us an alert from her school of employment, two kids were caught on campus with airsoft guns so now I'm just double pissed.

Even Christian Schools aren't safe... and it was a female student!
www.theguardian.com
"Three people are dead after a shooting on Monday at a private Christian school in Wisconsin – including the teenage shooter – and six others were wounded, according to local police.
The shooter was a 17-year-old female student, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press.
Police initially said five people were dead after the shooting at Abundant Life Christian school in Madison, the state capital, but they later revised the death toll. According to the Associated Press, the teenager killed a teacher and another teenage student.
Citing a law enforcement official, the Associated Press reported that investigators believed the shooter carried out the attack at the school with a 9mm pistol.
“It’s a sad day for the community and for the country,” the Madison police chief, Shon Barnes, said at a briefing. “We have to do a little bit better.” Barnes said police officers who responded did not fire their weapons. The shooter probably died by suicide, Barnes said.

I legit can't think of any other female school/mass shooters but I'm sure they exist

I was thinking the same. This is the first news story I’ve seen in my lifetime where the mass shooter was female.
Apparently she was a bigtime Incel and racist https://abcnews.go.com/US/abundant-life-christian-school-shooter-wisconsin/story?id=116847316

Talked about this on the chat last night, but somebody brought up a good point on Twitter last night (yes, such a thing is still possible) that Discord is much more influential on shooters/white nationalists than 4Chan is nowadays. Granted, I think a number of things (Elon buying Twitter, events like Charlotteville, the Christchurch shooting leading to 8Chan closing and January 6th among them) lead to this, but Discord essentially being a haven for many lesser known but massively hateful sub pages and less moderation is more of a thing. Apparently, even most people on 4Chan's more controversial boards have lost a lot of enthusiasm for Trump post Biden getting elected, so political violence being linked there hasn't been a thing in a while.
Also, I've seen people say she was a Groyper, but I dunno if that holds up. That's because 1.) as far as I know, Groypers are a "no girls allowed" thing that looks at virginity as a good thing, and 2.) she allegedly posted a picture of a burning church at some point, whereas Groypers are made up of Tradcaths who use "Christ is King" as a white supremacist dog whistle.
Looks like this might be connected to the New Orleans one although thankfully much less successful.

If there's any "positive" is that there was only one lethality (minus the shooter), so it was likely targeted and personal. It's a shame that this idea seems to hurt less than a random spree killing, because these are still kids.

So apparently that shooter was a black white supremacist.
