Michigan DA politicizing school shooting tragedy by charging parents

[Gelston]

I have no idea. I was shocked when I read that too.

Only thing I can think of is the DA hasn’t formally started a criminal investigation into anyone at the school so maybe any sort of investigation would need the approval of the school.

Which is all sorts of bullshit if that’s the case. If the DA truly cared about holding all parties responsible then start a criminal investigation into everything.

Regardless of what that investigation turns out, anything bad will be kept quiet. The investigators are employees of the school at that point.

Yup. The superintendent has basically already said no one at the school did anything wrong and now the school is investigating themselves to ensure that's the only narrative that will come out.

I'm betting something really fucky happened, like the counselor never told the parents to bring the shooter home that day, or that the counselor did indeed think the child could be a danger to himself or others and still decided to let him to return to class. And if the DA doesn't get off her ass and stop politicizing this case then the school is gonna get away with it all.

Two school shootings, very different charges. Your reasoning for why they are different is because the DAs have said they are different and that's it.

Lol. Leave it to America to argue that we're over charging school shootings... we're right up there with Honduras.

Except we're under charging in the Texas shooting and you don't seem to give a single shit about that.

Aggravated assault for shooting two people at a school?

It's pretty frightening that people actually seem to have no problem with the state over charging and even going so far as to say more over charging should be done.

You think you're being righteous because this is a school shooting but what happens when the next person is charged with terrorism and faces life in prison because they fired a gun in the air and it scared people? I guess you wouldn't give a shit because as long as it's not happening to you why care right? Such a caring Democrat.

I'm not going to go charge a school shooter with Grand Theft Auto unless he stole a car, just like terrorism is a dumb charge here.

But you would charge a school shooter with terrorism of he intentionally planned and executed terror on his community. Which is what happened in Michigan

So what proof are you referring to that he "intentionally planned and executed terror on his community"?

Look, I get it, it's a white school shooter with parents who supported Trump so of course you want the shooter charged with terrorism and you want his entire family locked up because it all fits your agenda and you are a disgusting un-American racist who would love nothing more than to turn the US into North Korea. But at least try not to be too obvious in your bullshit.

This is all correct.

Instead of arguing about charges, there should be real discussion around what's causing so many kids to go postal. It's a uniquely American problem, with the only country on par with us being Honduras.

Ah, so they're Trumpers are they? That would explain the mother's LOL, don't get caught shipping for your massacre ammo. Funny enough though, none of the articles I've seen on CNN, Al Jazeera, Fox News (early on) or Reuters mentioned the family's political affiliation. Certainly none of the law enforcement or DA has either. Which leads me to believe you're entirely making up the political prosecution theory. No surprises there. Just what news outlet revealed their political affiliations?
