The school is complicit, especially the counselor who practiced what is known as “RESTORATIVE DISCIPLINE AKA RESTORATIVE JUSTICE”. It is the belief that kids who are problematic should be returned to classrooms and activities instead of being disciplined, as soon as possible. It is the premise that their behavior is a social issue and they do better when reintegrated rather than disciplined by suspension or expulsion.
It is the same liberal thinking that is allowing progressive prosecutors to turn criminals out on the streets, absolutely no different that Darrel Brooks being released on a 1000.00 bond after a lifetime of criminal activity. Basically an animal who has tested positive for rabies is humanely released into a neighborhood because nature will take its course.
I have worked with 7 year olds who got guns for Christmas presents. They were hunting rifles and the parents were hunters who taught their children how to use them. Not one of those kids EVER committed a crime.
Another question I have is after bringing in the parents for a conference why in the world did they send the boy back to class and not send him home? Ok, that was 2 questions, sorry :0)
A lot of parents do without issues ever.
That said, this kid looks like a fetal alcohol syndrome kid.
He shouldn’t even have paper with corners...
Good parents buy good children guns for hunting or sport but they also know they will be there to supervise it’s use.
Bad parents would think it’s bad to buy their good child a gun. Criminal parents would buy their criminal child a gun for criminal use.
And a sly dig at the Second Amendment in the same breath. His article would have been the same without the unnecessary jab at Trump and 2A.
I’m suprised that no-one has considered what the dad did is a straw purchase. 10 years and $250,000.

Me. My kids had their own shotgun by that age.
Here’s what I have a problem with. Cal Thomas supposedly knows all kinds of stuff through the liar media and the leftist prosecutor.
Yet he admits that the kid is invoking his right to remain silent.
Kinda makes you go Hmmmm.
He’s probably guilty and deservedly needs to spend the rest of his life in some institution, whether Jackson State prison or some nut house, however, until proven guilty, he retains all constitutional rights.
He also commented about the backpack and why he didn’t leave it in the locker or classroom.
Classroom-it would have been stolen or tampered with. Most kids carry the backpack everywhere. Heck, for security, do schools even use lockers anymore? That I don’t know but I sure wouldn’t use the backpack as a sign of nefarious intent. We also don’t know the nature of the meeting and if it warranted a search.
“suspicious, that Crumbley would bring the backpack with him, instead of leaving it in his locker or the classroom?”
Our kids’ lockers were always way across campus so they carried everything with them all day. If they used their lockers, they’d never get to class on time.
We don’t know what the meeting was about other than some unknown discipline problem. At this point, no one may have had any indication the kid was that dangerous to warrant looking for a gun.
Spot on. The initial narrative is never what is the actual narrative.
We don’t know that this accusation is true. Remember the same media told similar tales about Kyle Rittenhouse.
It was about a picture Ethan had drawn of a kid shooting others.
According to the prosecutor we do know what the meeting was about. The kid was caught at school drawing a very violent picture of a gun and dead bodies accompanied by disturbing suicidal/homicidal written statements. I’m not taking what a prosecutor says as etched in stone but that is what they are claiming.
Yes. High school in mid-80s northern plains. Lots of rifles, shotguns and bows in unlocked vehicles in the parking lot. However, I don’t remember any pistols? I didn’t have one until my 20s. Only remember a few fights over those years but we were all from pretty similar circumstance. A kid in my older brothers class said he was “bringing a knife” to a fight but did not. Received a Ruger 10/22 for my 12th birthday (and an Ithaca 37 for 13th) and spent many unsupervised days with it. Ammo was cheap and the Coast to Coast hardware store sold it.
For the Left the answer to this problem is simple: confiscate all guns.
Especially a clearly disturbed 15 year old.
His mother actually wrote that it was his “Xmas present.” I kid you not.
That’s a big difference. First of all it was the dad who bought him the gun, and if had bought him a shut gun, there would have been no way the boy could have brought to school with him, because those times are over. Your dad was obviously a responsible person because he taught you gun safety. That idiot of a father did obviously not teach his son what your dad taught you.
My dad gave me a single-shot .410 when I was 10, and then let me start using his double-barrel Ithaca 12 gauge two years later. He later sold both of them after I went to college. Pissed me off, I wanted that 12 gauge bigly.
