The fugitive parents of accused Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley broke down in court Saturday morning as their charges were read aloud.

James, 45, and Jennifer, 43, Crumbley were captured early Saturday in the basement of a building on the 1100 block of Bellevue Street in Detroit, less than half a mile from the Canadian border, police confirmed.

They were taken into custody after leading authorities on a large-scale manhunt.

For perspective, keep in mind that much of Detroit is “less than a mile from the Canadian border”.

Something here just isn’t right. These parents sound like Grade A nut jobs.

Unless you can show me that they trained the boy specifically in order to shoot up a school, their actions have no bearing 0on what their child did.

How about they arrest and put on trial the school officials who ignored all the warnings signs and put everyone in that school at risk. This child was obviously suffering from mental illness. Put the “Village” on trial.

[marktwain]

There is a full out Media assault on these two.

It is like a witch-hunt.

You have just described the actions of the Media, which love school shootings.

“Unless you can show me that they trained the boy specifically in order to shoot up a school, their actions have no bearing 0on what their child did.“

Absolutely! Any legitimate judge will throw this case out on day one and tell the prosecutor to go back to law school or be held in contempt.

Certainly not getting any parents of the year awards. Just the text message saying, “don’t do it” Is more then enough to find the mother at least guilty.

Is there anything a 15-year-old boy can’t unlock?

[tennmountainman]

Why were they hiding then?

Sent after the shooting was over..

The Border is a very large “River” that is not wade-able.

And more than a bit chilly this time of year.

[marktwain]

Why were they hiding then?

Because half the internet want to lynch them?

Because there are a lot of crazies out there?

Just look at the comments on Freerepublic, and we are conservatives who are supposed to want to preserve law and order.

Per state law, if the state can prove that the gun was stored improperly, the parents might be both criminally and civilly liable.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

It is typical in today’s wokeness atmosphere to blame someone else but the perpatrator for a crime committed by them. The kid committed the crime. Why are these woke idiots going after the parents? I guess it makes them feel good.

Every American needs a go bag at this point. Go to the Mexican side of town and buy a new Birth Certificate, and ID. Get a passport, 10k in Bitcoin, and a little cash.

When that bad time hits, slip out at 3am, go to the truck stop. Put your cell on a semi-truck headed far away. Go to airport, and get to a non-extradition country, or a really disorganized one.

Strange times in America.

[Big Red Badger]

A Tragic scene,indeed.

[Windcatcher]

I can see the parents being charged with criminal negligence but homicide and manslaughter charges are just nuts.

“Unless you can show me that they trained the boy specifically in order to shoot up a school, their actions have no bearing 0on what their child did.”

I agree.

The 15 years for involuntary manslaughter seems like a stretch.
