So, What Are Your Thoughts About The Mother Of The School Shooter Being Convicted?

It sets a legal precedent that will surely be used. Maybe in ways unimaginable? To take your children?

I bought a 9mm pistol (and gifted to) for my daughter when she was under 21. I'd do it again.

Next they will be going after parents whose kids kill someone driving drunk or texting

That's the way it should be, it's sad that the gov. has to force people to be parents, but that's where we are. Remember Columbine, the parents gave the kids whatever they wanted so the kids would leave them alone. Why do people want to be parents and then not act like parents? Having kids is the most unregulated responsibility we have. Of course it's a slippery slope, and it's worrisome as hell to get the gov. involved in parenting, but when someone watches their kid walk out the door even suspecting the kid is high or drunk, and then the kid goes out and kills, you damn right that parent belongs in jail.

Four counts of involuntary manslaughter….

I have mixed thoughts about it.

I think that is appropriate - people who know or should have known are part of the crime
very stupid to buy him a gun and they should pay a price

Thank you Rex.

So the store that sells a gun to a criminal may be charged because he should have recognized that the guy was planning a crime…..

that's not even similar to the topic of this discussion

I hate to break it to you, but even good parents have kids that do some bad stuff.

In this case, and this case only, the jury got it right. How could they not?

From what I've read, she's more culpable than the husband, but he also should be held accountable.

I'm guessing, but I think the prosecution thought she was the easier win, so they tried her first and will now use her conviction to try to convict her husband.

His defense will have to throw her smooth under the bus to have any chance of avoiding a conviction.

It should be entertaining at the very least.

Sarcasm…but you are now culpable if she murders someone
