    I woke up to Otis Anderson(one of UCF's star players from 2016-2020) being murdered by his father at 23 years old, then we get a school shooting, and now what Daniel Ocean just posted.

    FUCK this country

    I read an article the other day where two grown men basically executed a 14 year old kid in the middle of the day. They shot something like 36 bullets at the kid and 18 of them struck the kid. Something has to be done to fix our country's gun problem.

    But then you'd be robbing those men of their FREEDOM to execute that child and that childs FREEDOM to be executed in such a way. See the nice part about America is your child has the FREEDOM to be murdered at school. You don't get that kind of FREEDOM anywhere else in the world except third world shit holes(most likely these countries are shitholes due to the US spreading FREEDOM) everywhere.

    Also I've long given up on the gun issue in the US. Sandy Hook is the main reason, the second reason is that politicians and a bunch of US citizens thought it was a good idea to fucking arm every single teacher to combat school shootings rather than just making guns harder to acquire. That was the big tell we were too far gone and that nothing will ever change short of their being some insane mass casualty event that wipes out a large percentage of people in this country and the right minds end up gaining power after said event.

    Yeah, the gun debate ended when our country's politicians (and their voters) decided that 20 1st graders getting murdered is the cost of freedom.

    wasn't a mass shooting but a AZ High School teenage shot and killed another teenager. He was buying a gun with fake money. Seller didn't like that

    -police said the person in the video knocking on the door when students fled through a window was likely a detective

    -At least one student stayed home that day because there were threats of a shooting

    -parents of suspect went into school earlier in the day because he was having behavior issues

    how does this still happen

    (WXYZ) — Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Oxford High School had contact with the suspect in a shooting, the day of the shooting.

    Speaking at a press conference, Bouchard said that the schools did have contact with the suspect, identified as 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, both the day before and the day of the shooting.

    According to Bouchard, there was also a face-to-face meeting with the suspect's parents the morning of the shooting. He said the suspect was at the school, brought into a meeting, and then the shooting happened.

    The meeting was over behavior in the classroom that was concerning, he said.

    In the press conference, Bouchard said that there is no motive in the shooting yet, and there is no evidence that he was bullied.

    Related: Here's what we know about the 11 victims & suspect in the Oxford High School shooting

    Four students were killed and seven other people, including a teacher, were injured in the shooting. The four students killed were identified as Tate Myre, 16, Hana St. Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17.

    The others injured are in various conditions from stable to critical, and one 14-year-old girl in critical condition was recently upgraded.

    Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald charged the suspect with four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, 12 counts of possession of a firearm while committing a felony and one count of terrorism using death.

    He was arraigned on those charges Wednesday afternoon. The detective said in the arraignment they found videos on his phone

    you have a parent-teacher conference because of your kid's behavior and you buy him a gun a couple of days before? what do you think a 15 year old needs a gun for, anyways?

    i hope the parents get 50 years isolation

    I don’t think a 15 yo should be tried as an adult even for this. I think the parents (father) should face charges for getting a 15 yo a gun. If the son is being tried as an adult the father needs to be tried for murder.

    lol. That’s not the point. White suspects are often made to look innocent or younger. Pictures that give them the benefit of the doubt are often chosen. That’s not the case for MOC it’s usually pictures that make them look guilty and darker (read scarier) look up photos of white dads that kill their families and see how they are pictured. You’ll notice a trend.

    Course that conversation only matters if we reform our criminal justice system. Lol

    In America if you're a POC you're a criminal even when you're a victim you're still a criminal. White male mass shooter it's always they were just "misunderstood" or bullied. And damn if every young bladk male who so much as gets in a fight is painted as a fucking animal who belongs in a zoo by every piece of shit news outlet in this fucking country.

    Maybe, but at this point we don't know what the "behavior issues" were or anything about the threats that made the kid stay home. My larger point, though, is that twitter is chock full of misinformation. Take anything you see/read there with a healthy sense of skepticism, especially when it comes from some random account.
