Jfc. And they still bought the kid a gun.
The father. The parents had been separated *before the time FBI contacted the father, who then bought the child the assault rifle. The mother and her family had been trying to get the son treatment.
Jfc again. I hope a few heads roll with this one.
It would help a lot if schools were fully funded along with fully funded, single payer, comprehensive health care.
Any kind of mental health care would be acceptable at this point.
Georgia is ~~a red state~~ currently a purple state*. Kemp ~~stole~~ won the election from Abrams by campaign ads of him locking and loading.
*Edited
Georgia is a purple state held hostage by GOP gerrymandering. We saved the damn Senate, remember?
I edited the post, and I feel your pain. I'm in a neighboring blood red.
No, Kemp won the election by literally rigging the vote, then destroying evidence that the FBI specifically told him that he could not destroy. Then he certified his own victory, as the election commissioner. Since then he has faced no consequences because the United States is literally not a democracy.

That's literally what happened
I know. It's why "stole" is strike through but the bit about Ms. Abrams isn't.
This is wild. From memory, I know which comment your reply addresses. It shows up looking like you're replying to my comment answering the person who asked why the FBI interviewed "the FATHER." I contacted an admin about this issue, as two users have mentioned my look like they're showing up in reply to the wrong comments. If/when they contact me, I'll mention this.
Wasn't directed at you, it just sounds like such a hyperbolic statement but I remember it happening
Wow. It showed up on my notifications. It's fine, though. It keeps the memory hole at bay and that's important. Others either never knew or already forgot.
Sure. And he got a lot of voters with the commercials, too.
Florida approved chaplains in schools. I wouldn't take that as an acceptable form of mental health care. Luckily, the fine folks at the Satanic Temple have expressed interest in sending their own chaplains, so the plan has stalled out a bit.
Best we can do is..... Fuck all
With utmost respect for you, because I understand you clearly. We (our leadership, rather) can correct most of our issues, but lack the willpower, because Club Ultra wealthy. If anyone reading this has lost a child to mass shooting incident, just know your elected national leadership prefers donation from the monied elite before and during office, and cushy jobs and retirement, after.
Dad thought taking the kid to kill a deer was therapy.
Not even a particularly good deer rifle
No one I know would ever use that, for hunting. Shotgun and rifle shells are crazy expensive.
An AR-15 isn't really powerful enough to hunt deer reliably unless you are an incredibly good shot
For some, it is. Others not so much.
God, if there was ever a reason to award someone full custody, this would have been it.
Was it the meth charge that convinced you she was a good parent?
I know nothing about a meth charge, but she was the parent who called the school and TRIED to stop this when she realized her son was being weird.
So in the grand scheme of which parent should have custody, i’d pick the one who didn’t hand him a gun.
Be that as it may, full custody shouldn't be given to methheads. It's almost like it isn't a simple, black & white issue.
Or better we give the kid to the maternal grandparents who it sounds like the mother was living with and get the child therapy and the mother rehab and not call her a methhead to stigmatize her when she fucking tried to do the right thing here.
The addict had more sense about her son than his father did. Maybe, just maybe, we should stop criminalizing addiction so that we don’t end up with 4 dead people, 9 injured, and 2 people looking at life in prison.
If you don't know anything about it then maybe don't chime in with "she should've had custody" eh?
It was a very troubled family, the symptoms of despair and trauma. It's time we start addressing addressing the causes of despair, as well as symptoms, and healing our collective trauma.
Is it money? Seems like money. Like money is all the despair
Strange that the FBI contacted the FATHER and not the mother regarding a child (unless both were visited?). So weird as usually it's the opposite; schools for example always try and work with the mother when it comes to kids and their parents.
He lived with the father. Maybe that's why.
Why would they contact the non-custodial parent?
Something is going on with reply order. Admin had been notified.
