Remember a few years back when a six-year-old boy went to school with a gun in his backpack after weeks of making threats against his teacher, and then shot the teacher in the chest?
The teacher somehow survived, even though the student thought he had "shot that b**** dead." The teacher even successfully filed suit against the vice principal of the school for failing to act to stop the student.
notthebee.com Jury finds vice principal responsible for ignoring repeated threats from 6-year-old who shot teacher and bragged about it In January 2023, a six-year-old black kid in Virginia went to Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, and purposefully shot his white teacher, Abby Zwerner.
The boy came to school with a gun in his backpack. Other students saw it and told the vice principal. Vice Principal Parker did nothing. Young boy shoots teacher.
Pretty open and shut.
While the civil court was able to hold VP Ebony Parker responsible, the criminal court case has now come to a different conclusion.
Judge drops criminal charges against school administrator who allegedly failed to stop first grader from shooting teacher https://t.co/jjrUoxshWA pic.twitter.com/tyayb43GCh— New York Post (@nypost) May 21, 2026
Yep. Charges dropped. Case dismissed.
The defense didn't even have to present, well, a defense.
Robinson said she was 'unclear' about the legal principles prosecutors used to charge Parker, including whether the eight counts were for the bullets in the gun or for the children in Zwerner's classroom at the time of the shooting.
The judge said that if it were for the bullets, the number of counts would have needed to correspond to the number of bullets discharged, not the amount of ammunition left in the gun.
The boy only fired one round that hit Zwerner in her hand and chest — leaving fragments of the round in her body to this day.
'Those legal theories do not fit plausibly with the theory of the legal statute,' Robinson said. 'Therefore, I do grant defense motion to strike on all eight counts of felony child abuse and endangerment.'
Either the prosecution did a terrible job presenting the case, or this judge just dismissed a case because she was confused.
Regardless, Ebony Parker will not be held responsible for failing to heed threats made by the student, failing to alert the teacher to the threats, and failure to check to see whether or not he child really had a gun in his bag or not even after she was told by students that he did indeed bring a gun to school.
People on X had thoughts...
Geez. I wonder why she did that.— Tired of being politically correct (@USBornNRaised) May 21, 2026
This ruling was clearly racially motivated.
This shouldn't be happening in our country.— ML 🇺🇸⚾️✝️ (@YankeesMIKE2408) May 21, 2026
This simple headline tells you more about the way the law actually works than any constitutional law class at a top university. https://t.co/eh6xMrOk0o— Kevin DeAnna (@VDAREJamesK) May 21, 2026
You have to wonder about the total disconnect between the civil ruling and the criminal ruling.

Those people. They stick together. When it’s against whitey. But they still kill each other 98% of the time.
There appears to be a comprehension problem as well as possible racial bias on the part of the judge. We are seeing too many instances of judges who have no idea of the law, of logic or of their purview.
Do we have specific evidence that the judge isn’t just stupid?
Got to protect her own incompetents.
The same forces of jury nullification that gave O.J. Simpson a not guilty verdict was at work here.
Black Female Judge. Black Female Perp.
I told the ‘principle’ ... and he laughed it off in front of them!!
Damned if you do- or don't. The kid has protective coloration.
Can this be appealed?
Yes..............
Will it?
Probably not................
I guess the “I’m black...get out of jail free” card is still in use.
