WINDER, Georgia — Colt Gray, the baby-face Georgia school shooting suspect who is charged with murdering two classmates and two teachers, grew up in a broken and neglectful home, which police and child services visited on a regular basis, a former neighbor and landlord tell The Post...

Lauren Vickers, who lived next-door to the Grays in Jefferson, Georgia, said...“There were nights where the mom would lock him and his sister out the house. And they would be banging on the back door, just screaming like ‘Mom! mom! mom!’ ...

Charles Polhamus said of Colt Gray, his grandson, in an interview with CNN. “His dad beat up on him, I mean, I’m not talking about physical, but screaming and hollering, and he did the same thing to my daughter.”

His mom Marcee...has a lengthy criminal history spanning 17 years and four Georgia counties, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Starting to look like the motive was the shooter just snapped over his home life as opposed to anything going on at the school. The mother seems to have spent much of her time in la-la land. Daddy Dearest looks like he's been rode hard and put up wet more than a few times. Then there's the extended family, first to hollar about the shooter being tried as an adult but none of which seemed to have intervened to any extent, and good old social services, called to the home numerous times, who also dropped the ball. Still, hard to have sympathy for him with 4 dead and a good many wounded.

Notice everything is about his home life.. anything about the total lack of security at the school?

How does a kid who can’t drive a car get a loaded rifle on campus and then into a classroom?.. I really couldn’t care less about his home life.

Extreme jealousy of kids who had nice lives.

Hate to say it....but if you wrote down family history/behavior...there’s 25,000 kids like him in America, waiting to explode.

Mom in and out of jail. Dad going to jail for at least 20 years. Kid will spend 30-odd years in prison.

Only person left is a younger sister.

Oh, I see. He violated “No Guns In School” rule. Well, no graduation for him until his Study Hall time is done.

Gun laws presume someone who is willing to break the law and harm others will obey the law and not use a gun.

Mom doing drugs during pregnancy, perhaps.

He’s about the right age to have spent 9 million nuts bathed in marijuana, the miracle medical drug, at the very least. I always wonder how these kids turn out.
Of course the big gov medical cartel hides it, only testing my ms who are likely on the hard stuff. Even that is rare.
Epigenetic changes due to our culture of drug happy pill for every ailment.
Even the drugs classified as safe during pregnancy are questionable now that the COVID vax exposed the corruption.
The coverup is the really evil part. We can’t guess at what evil this kid was exposed to at home or at school.
The violence at school these days is just shocking. Utter evil. And we pay for this.
I had a bad home life. One teacher tried to help, but I was young and there was no training for them on abuse. She was just a loving teacher. Got me through some terrible things.
Never once did I consider taking the life of anyone except her abusive boyfriend. I warned him and he backed down.

Messes up the dopamine receptors among other things. Aka birth defects. Creates another eventual drug addict whose dopamine receptors are baselined very high due to drugs. IOW, they need drugs to feel normal. This, IMO is why Muslim countries execute drug addicts.

nobody is talking about law breaking here..

I keep reading the reports on this shooting and I have not up until now seen how they said that the 14 year old shooter got a rifle from his house to school in the first place,, I’m assuming he didn’t get on a school bus with a rifle.. that leaves either he walked to school carrying the rifle that nobody saw or he got a ride in a car with a rifle that nobody saw... how is that possible?..

maybe he took it apart, backpacked it and put it together in a bathroom?..

Reading between the lines, mom was blitzed 365 days out of the year, and probably visiting the local jail-house at least once a year. Dad probably was working enough....to keep himself out of the same trouble, but he was a 4-star loser with the two kids.

FBI’s fault? They are continually browsing gaming platforms and looking for commentary. This kid got identified, but all the FBI did was hand off a tip to the local Georgia police. They came out to say something of a warning. Beyond that...nothing else.

This story will drop entirely by Monday. But if you look at the saga...massive drug-use across middle-class America...creating a test of humanity.

I don’t recall who it was, but back in the olden days, before weed was legalized in Oregon, I remember someone was hassled for testing positive for THC when giving birth. The hospital had tested the placenta, which naturally had no 4 th Amendment rights. I wonder how widespread that practice was.

Yeah...if you can get one inside a gated event and onto a rooftop that a blind man could tell you was a good vantage point for sniping at a stage where a former, and perhaps future, President will soon speak, you can get one into a school. Normalcy bias? Kid with a backpack? Yawn.
