Minors should never be tried as adults- they aren't adults! I think it's absolutely wrong to ever charge minors as adults. There's a reason a seperate juvenile justice system exists! A very good one, and it shouldn't be legal to just toss it over at yet another "king judge's" whim.
This was a heinous crime but he's obviously deeply disturbed. He should be charged as a youth, as that is what he is, for the crimes he committed.
This prosector is just another opportunitistic b7tczh looking to make her bones and career on this case. She cares nothing for the victims, she just figures if she goes way over the top and throws cartoonishly excessive charges at everyone, she'll look like a real justice warrior and that will put her in line for the state's AG position. I guarantee it. That's how these people work. It's just a game to 99.3% of them; they don't care about victims, they care about how easily they can capitalize on a case to their benefit and how many charges they can make stick, whether they are deserved or not. I have nothing but utter contempt and in certain cases outright hatred for the entire American prosecutorial class- and that's Bec I'm old enough to know who they really are; and in my bitter and cynical opinion most of them are opportunistic, and even sociopathic trash.
As far as this young shooter, either the school, the parents, or both should have done better in this situation. I don't understand why the school didn't give him a non-disciplinary suspension for the day and also search his bag or request a security guard or officer to do so??? It's always better to be safe than sorry, esp in the age of school shootings! Of course the parents were outrageously negligent to buy their young teenaged son a goddamn firearm, but I'm not ready to say they knew he was troubled. Youth are very good at hiding things from their parents they don't want them to know. I'm not ready to condemn them as monsters just yet, deploringly irresponsible, yes- but also perhaps simply naive and tragically stubborn, in not wanting to believe anything was wrong with their precious baby. They wouldn't be the first parents to react that way. As for running, I doubt they planned to leave the country, but probably were just in a panic and were desperate. Overnight, their entire world was thrown into chaos. They very likely didn't think or know there was anything wrong with their son, and may not even have known he took the gun to school. Until I hear more I'm going to assume this is true. They wouldn't be the first parents to be more oblivious than they should be. Until I hear more, I'm going to assume the news that their son was involved in a mass shooting was just as much a shock to them as anyone else. I imagine they felt an terrible horror at the news.
I can understand why someone might temporarily flee under those circumstances. I doubt they ever had intentions to go far or disappear for long. They probably just wanted somewhere to go to try to process all the madness that just happened.
They made mistakes to be sure, but I'm sure they loved their son. I'm sure they had no intentions of taking off forever and leaving him to face his court case alone.
Anyway- it's another heartbreaking tragedy all around. But this DA is being a predatory bi7tzch IMO and soaking this up for all it's worth, portraying herself as a heartbroken party with a rending heart for all the victims. I call mthfkg BS on that. A terrorism charge and adult characterization in this situation is bogus and pure positional opportunism by her, which is definitely not coming from any sincere desire to help the survivors heal. I feel the same about the parents' charges. Yes they were idiots and bought him his own gun- but I find it hard to believe they thought he would bring it school. It's more logical they just assumed he would behave himself and be using it at home when they were around. I doubt they imagined for a second he had the gun with him when they were called into the meeting in the counselors office- but they most definitely should have consented to or performed a search of his bag. If they were so sure, what would be their objection to getting confirmation?? So yes, there they were negligent and willfully didn't take the school's concern seriously. But that is not the same as involuntary manslaughter.
So until I hear anything else damning, for now I'm not with those who feel that is a fair charge, because its just not supported, in my view.
Negligence of some sort- sure. But not any kind of manslaughter charge. I honestly believe they don't deserve it, as tragic as this incident was.
