Parents Of Michigan High School Shooting Suspect Charged With Four Counts Of Involuntary Manslaughter

[Biff_Poindexter]

So the school knew as much as the parents did and let it happen?

I mean, don't get me wrong. If you get a gun for a kid, you better have them well trained and know their tendencies, but if they are being charged for knowing he was unstable and likely to cause trouble, the school knew it too and let it happen.

The school should be liable for allowing the kid back in school...

However, according to the cheer section for the parents on this board -- there wasn't really anything the kid did that was wrong....

So I assume the school should be in good shape....just like the parents should be.......

Golfing Gator will never admit he was wrong

Actually I admitted just that very thing in this very thread.

You really suck at this.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Alone? No. Based upon other possible actions on his part? Maybe. That's a question we need to be asking.

It sounds like the Michigan authorities are asking these questions

These are questions we should have been asking for a long time.

Looks like the parental units are on the lam.

Now you are weaseling out of your previous position

You laughed and called me stupid when I held the school board accountable for not protecting the children

Yes I did. I can agree with protecting the children and still think you are fucking moron for wanting to arrest the school board.

This is a ridiculous position to take. No school board could function if they had to make sure that schools were impervious from students committing mayhem.

There aren't enough guards, metal detectors, body searches, available to every school. Just think of the TSA, and expand it by ten fold.

Canada is pretty damn close to where they live

If a student wants to get a gun into a school with metal detectors, he's going to find a way.

Oh yeah?

If schools were protected properly such as at the courthouse very few deranged students would succeed

And that means far fewer murdered students in the public schools

Oakland deputies stop hundreds of weapons at courthouse

They range from cleavers to swords to throwing stars; more than 174 confiscated in a 15-day period in February

I agree 100%. Not to mention the school boards are limited in what they can do by the state and Fed Govt. School boards do not have the power most people assume they do.

As I already noted, start picking kids off as they leave the school. We have already seen that happen. No amount of metal detectors would stop that.

I assume Canada would honor any extradition request provided our prosecutors agree not to seek a death penalty.

Accordingly, my hunch is that they will soon realize that there is no good flight option. Then (unless they are contemplating suicide) they will turn themselves in.

 

[meaner gene]

Does the DA have armed police protection in courthouse where she works?

I bet she does

All that police protection and metal detectors should be used to protect the children not some lousy politician

Just do the numbers. The cost of expanding what it takes to protect a courthouse to every school in the US would bankrupt most school districts.

Shootings happen in churches too........

Looking back...do you think this AME church is partly the blame for 9 of their members being murdered by a crazed gunman??

No. Do you?

Who is being inconsistent here?

You lack imagination

Schools can be secured by limiting access to a few locations and using metal detectors operated by armed security

 

[DukeU]

Yes! And that goes for all other parents who are guilty of the same or SIMILAR criminal negligence!

To offer up an example, any parent allowing a mentally unstable child to get their hands on a gun.
Maybe revisit the question of background checks that keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill.

See the danger in the precedences that could be set in the court?

p.s. maybe not the 'rest' of their days?

He is not old enough to buy a weapon so a background check would not effect this case in any way.

But, background checks are always required when purchasing a weapon through a FFL.

The school didn't know the parents would give the kid a gun.

Its better to allow random shooters to murder defenseless students under a full moon or whatever activates these crazies?

We can start by removing security from adult locations and giving it to the kids

 

[Papageorgio]

So is this the standard we are going to hold all parents accountable? What about those in gangs and as a gang member they kill another person, do the parents go up for manslaughter? What if they get caught stealing, do we charge parents for aiding and abetting?

I'm good with this however I think we need to be careful.

I believe in preventing giving access to firearms to mentally ill people. You believe in attempting to stop such people who possess guns. That is the fundamental difference between us. We'll never agree.

If Courthouses can do it, schools can too.

No excuse but to assume that schools want shootings so they can push the anti-gun agenda.
