The suspect... was charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault with a gun.
Ehh, shouldn't this be attempted murder? Not in texas, I guess

reading some flack that the shooter's parents lawyered him up immediately but honestly what else are they going to do?
the video I saw of kids in a room while the shooter pretends to be the sherrif and asks them to unlock the door was chilling.

I wonder if this is a tactic that will be replicated in these cases.

seems like a particularly egregious case of neglect/cheerleading
Prosecutor alleges parents of Oxford High School shooting suspect left gun unlocked and failed to take action on reports of disturbing behavior at school.

I don't see this as a tactic that will become common, it sounds like the parents neglect here was particularly egregious

Jesus Christ, that kid was the dictionary definition of a red flag.Some moron pulled the fire alarm at my kids high school two days ago. Everyone just kept looking at each other like, are we really supposed to leave? Is this a fire drill? Is this really an alarm? Even the teacher wasn't sure how to proceed. He carefully poked his head out to check to see what the other classrooms were doing. Everyone seemed to recognize that the prospects of a school shooting felt at least as good if not better than the prospects of an actual fire. This bullshit puts everybody on edge.

Just reading this morning that apparently the kid's parents were called in to a meeting at the school about his behavior the morning of the shooting and he was still sent him back to class and it is extremely possible he had the gun he used in the shooting in his backpack during that very meeting.

yep. Also the mom texted him the second a report of an active shooter came through: "Ethan don't do it".
As a parent of a teenager, I sympathize parents who don't always know what their kid is up to or thinking. It's immensely difficult to suss out. But in this case, everything seemed to be very apparent. There were clearly multiple warnings. I don't know what led up to them buying him a fucking gun, but there is no situation where that is the responsible reaction.

It's like We Need To Talk About Kevin - "our kid seems alienated & distraught.. let's get him started on new a hobby involving deadly weapons"
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 3 December 2021 19:31 (two years ago) link
"you have to learn not to get caught" - we have said the same thing to our kid, but his crime was drawing a penis in wet concrete.
― akm, Friday, 3 December 2021 19:49 (two years ago) link
let's not forget the part where they bought the gun for the kid!

In a shock twist, authorities then revealed that the whereabouts of the Crumbleys were not currently known, prompting law enforcement to effectively launch a manhunt for them with the Oakland county fugitive apprehension team.

Jesus christ
The parents were summoned to the school a few hours before the shooting occurred after a teacher found a drawing of a gun, a person bleeding and the words “help me” and “blood everywhere” and included a laughing emoji
"that's our ethan! he'll be fine."

so I know laywers regularly lie, but in this case, aren't their defense lawyers risking anything by how blatantly they are lying about things, insisting still that they weren't on the run and had every intention to turn themselves in when it's very very obvious they were not doing this?
