Parents of Michigan shooter Ethan Crumbley go on the RUN after being charged with manslaughter for his school rampage that left 4: Prosecutors reveal they bought the 9mm handgun for him for CHRISTMAS

The parents of accused Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley are now on the run from police, just hours after a prosecutor announced involuntary manslaughter charges against them and revealed stunning details about the murder weapon that was a Christmas gift for the 15-year-old, whom police say shot dead four students after penning a disturbing note saying 'thoughts won't stop, help me.' Police have issued a 'be on the lookout alert' for James and Jennifer Crumbley, who were charged Friday with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Tuesday's deadly shooting. The charge carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald alleged that the parents ignored multiple warning signs and refused to take their son out of school just hours before the shooting took place.

Do did the school. Imagine if he’d worn a t-shirt with a reference to the KKK on it. Think they’d have sent him back to class? Or an anti-gay shirt? No way Jose!

A straw purchase is any purchase in which a second person agrees to acquire a firearm for someone who is ineligible to purchase the firearm for himself. A straw purchaser can be identified as a person with a clean background who purchases firearms specifically on behalf of a person prohibited from purchasing a firearm because that prohibited person is a convicted felon, domestic violence misdemeanant, juvenile, an individual who has been adjudicated mentally ill or one who is prohibited for other federally or state-defined reason from purchasing or possessing a firearm.

Well, the school maybe had a disadvantage. BUT, true story here, my son was in 5th grade and a boy on his basketball team brought a water pistol to school and was squirting the kids on the playground. Everyone was laughing and having fun about it. What did the school do? The EXPELLED him. Yup, for a water gun. He couldn’t understand why and I tried to explain as his single mom who was pretty much absent all the time never did. What a sad comparison. What this 15 yr. old did was way scarier than producing a stinking water pistol.

“There have been no consequences for school officials who ignore the clear warning signs leading to such carnage.”

when I was a police dispatcher, there were strict rules about advice we could and couldn’t give a caller. We were told if we gave advice that cause death or bodily harm to someone WE would be liable as the department would first...fire us (would have to), and then say we went against department policy meaning I’d have been the one sued. CYA all around for the lucky school system. They’ll point a finger at the councilor.

Well, that begs belief to me. I live close to VA Tech and worked across from the hospital many of the victims were taken after the mass shooting there. Cho was told, point blank, he had to get mandatory mental health appointment or be suspended, but he didn’t bother. Worse is the college never checked up whether he did or not. Schools are not looking after the kids at all anymore.

Even buying a gun for a crazy kid isn’t bad if the parents supervise him with it.

Hopefully they stay out of the Carlton Reserve in Florida

Recommended alternatives: Ritz Carlton in Naples, or Carl's Social House in Yeehaw Junction.

The charges I saw were very mild, like traffic tickets and a bounced check.

It is straw purchase if the paperwork was filled out in James’ name and he turned around and gave it to the kid who’s not legally able to own a ghn

“Simply put, a straw purchase is when one person buys a gun for another person who is not allowed to own a gun. It is a way for a person who is not prohibited from owning a gun to get a gun to somebody who is.”

DM has updated this story to include parents’ support for Trump and 2A. (sigh)

They’ve put up an “open letter” to Trump from the mother praising him for protecting 2A rights and a Facebook comment from the father “Trump will protect our 2nd amendment! I want my child to get a gun”.

This is the URL for the so called post from Ethan Crumbley's mother:

https://justagirlgoignthroughthisworld.wordpress.com/2016/11/11/dear-mr-trump/

A search on the "WayBackMachine" internet archive indicates that the web crawler archive "Saved 11 times between December 1, 2021 and December 3, 2021."

https://justagirlgoignthroughthisworld.wordpress.com/2016/11/11/dear-mr-trump/
This letter is obviously a fake that was created on the internet the day after the shooting.   The Public is being played.

Well, I just tried the original URL again for the "so called" blog post and it is "not found any longer."   Still, it cannot hide from the internet archive.

Could be. There is a ton of fake stuff floating around on the internet.

Could it be that Archive Today only shows searches and saves? If so, it could be the real deal, given no one likely searched it for her blog before the shooting, or would have saved it.

Whether real or fake, the “They’re Trump supporters!” stuff is starting up in the press. Ugh.

These parents have issues, I see another indicator of the problem. They buy their son a really big gift for a holiday that is still weeks away, and give it to him immediately. Sounds like they are either compulsive or big-time kid spoilers. Or are they simply retarded?

Christmas gift a month early? They could have made him wait.
