Why do you call them “nut jobs”? Nothing has been proven in a court, so allegations and assertions are for public consumption. It serves to tilt the scales of Justice past the “equal” that is promised.
“Nothing has been proven in a court, so allegations and assertions are for public consumption.”
All true but as with Rittenhouse, Darrell Brooks etc. one can get a pretty clear picture of the situation with a bit of due diligence in their research.
We can for sure ascertain from known documented facts that the parents were negligent, perhaps grossly so concerning their son prior to the school shooting. Whether criminally so we’ll leave to the courts.
The case against the parents is shaping up to be another Kyle Rittenhouse moment. While I have no real sympathy for their son, the question is what responsibility do parents have for the actions of their children? What are the parents obligations? Are parents required to monitor their children’s social media posting? Assuming there is no law prohibiting it, does purchasing a weapon and giving it to their 15 year old son rise to the level of gross negligence required to prove involuntary manslaughter? Should the parents have had reason to know or did they refuse to see that their son would use the weapon to kill and injure his classmates? If we go down that rabbit hole, do we also hold the school responsible for missing the same signs that the parents should have seen? Was this boy bullied, and did the teachers or the administration have reason to know? I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I believe the criminal prosecution of the parents is intended as an attack on the Second Amendment.
