Michigan school shooting prosecutor suggests she will charge parents

[evince]

This kid was fucking nuts



So his parents bought a gun and didn’t keep it away from him

The prosecutor overseeing the investigation into a mass killing at a Michigan high school this week strongly suggested Wednesday that she would charge the teenage suspect’s parents, an unusual move but one that gun control advocates say is essential to combating the nation’s scourge of shootings by minors.

While it is unclear how Crumbley may have obtained the gun from his father, McDonald said Wednesday that gun owners have a responsibility to secure their weapons — particularly when young people are involved.

“Those who do not do that should and will be held accountable,” she said. “We have to do better.”

McDonald said in addition to charges announced Wednesday against the teen — including four counts of first-degree murder — she expected that other charges could be filed, including against Crumbley’s parents.

That's going to go about as well as charging parents for running a red light because their underage kid stole the car or charging parents with arson because their kid burned down the house playing with matches in the living room.

Nowhere.


Carelessness? Sure. But not murder.

So if 14 year old takes the family car, drives 125 MPH kills a family of 4...the parents of the kid should be charged and GM sued

That sort of thing did happen, until some tort reform stopped it.

Same thing with airplanes. If an airplane crashed because the guy flew into a storm, iced up, and hit a mountain, lawsuits typically would be filed against the plane manufacturer, the last five mechanics that worked on the airplane, the airport it departed from, ATC, the FAA, the NTSB, and practically who even looked at the airplane sitting on the tarmac before it left. Plane manufacturers simply went out of business, even though they easily won these lawsuits, because of the cost of constantly defending against them.

Both Cessna and Piper went out of business during that time.

Tort reform brought them back.

Ruh roh. The stupified car/gun thing again. As predictable as the sunrise.
