Timothy George Simpkins, a student at Timberview High School in Arlington, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after turning himself in Wednesday afternoon.

He was accused of firing a .45-caliber handgun during a fight with another student.

A diamond earring, grill, expensive late model sports car. Where did the money for this come from? Sounds more like fights between rival drug dealers than bullying.

He has a, “grill” smile, a diamond earing, an expensive car and “nice clothes”.
High dollar high schooler. My guess is the, “bullying” is drug related.

was charged with three counts of aggravated assault...held on a $75,000 bond

Why wasn't he charged with attempted murder?

Wonder how the families of those injured feel about this...he'll be back in school in a week or two.

So, bullied is an excuse to get a gun and start shooting people? Nope, jail time, very long jail time. If anyone dies, simply convict and execute.

Still no reason to take a gun to school and open fire.

He doesn’t fit the narrative so it’ll all go away, time served.

It’s a sedan. And Dodge also puts V6 engines in the Charger too. Not all of them are muscle cars.

Every day it appears to me that crimes like this committed by blacks far out number the crimes committed by whites. So why then is the government so concerned about “white supremacists” being the greatest threat to our Republic. I guess that’s no different than the Jan 6th “Insurrection”
being more dangerous to the Republic than all the deaths and property damage caused by BLM and Antifa this summer.

Could be braces. And the odds of that being a real diamond are pretty slim, I’d bet.

And he’s got what looks to be an expensive “grill” of the sort rappers and drug dealers sport.

Eighteen. Hmmm.

I agree. The case is not going anywhere. He will be out robbing, raping, and slinging dope in two weeks. he is a protected species.

Yeah, of course. But when I was bullied in Junior High, I took a crescent wrench one day to the bicycle of the bully, did some disassembly work and scattered the parts over about an eight block area.

Since he bullied other kids as well, I might have been a suspect, but far from the only one. He got the message.

Big 245#, 6'2" me was a runt back then.

In the fight preceding the shooting, he pretty much mopped the floor with the other guy, calling him a “bitch-a** n*****” between blows. In an upscale school, I’m more inclined to believe he’s a BMOC. Bullying is about the only defense that will gain him any sympathy.
