I can’t read this shit.
To be fair, most of the facts that ConfSS has cited are confirmed by reports I have heard in the media.
The 15 year old school shooter and killer, and his parents:
1) was aided by his parents; they bought the gun for him for a present, maybe an early Christmas present;
2) parents ignored the warning signs; the most egregious is that when presented those warnings in a meeting at the SCHOOL, they refused to accept the possibility that their son may shoot anyone. They did (OR MAY) not EVEN want his backpack to be searched. Mother warned him not to get CAUGHT...! in a text message. (WARNING: some of my "facts" in #2 may not be exact, but the overall message is valid. Read the facts in the link I provide.)
3) Parents tried to avoid being charged by authorities and tried to HIDE after the shooting by going to an art museum or warehouse of some sort.
4) Based on all I have heard, both parents bear major culpability (responsibility) and have a HUGE ROLE in NOT preventing this tragedy. Talk about MYOPIC individuals, these parents totally ignored all warning signs that their SON was a likely or even possible KILLER.
5) Once an event occurs, anyone "can connect ALL the dots." Predicting a killer or event before the event occurs is MUCH more difficult. My Dad always said: "Hindsight is 20/20." That is SO TRUE here.
Separating facts from opinions is usually difficult when reading a post by ConfSS; same here in this thread.
You can READ lots of facts here (and find other online reliable sources, too); this one has a timeline, up to Dec. 4:
https://apnews.com/article/crime-shootings-education-michigan-school-shootings-a734bfa163d0e761b1eac3031ba0569aOXFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The parents of the 15-year-old suspect in the fatal shooting of four students at a Michigan high school have entered not guilty pleas to involuntary manslaughter charges.
James and Jennifer Crumbley entered their pleas during a Zoom hearing, hours after police said they were arrested while hiding in a commercial building in Detroit. A judge set bond at $500,000 for each.
Their son, Ethan Crumbley, has been charged with murder and other crimes in Tuesday’s mass shooting in Oxford Township, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Detroit. Here is a timeline of events before the rampage and what has happened since:
ConfSS tends to write in large font; he also uses bad grammar and terrible punctuation. That makes his posts difficult to comprehend.
I read bad writing by my students in Science classes for many years, so I can compensate for their gaps and errors. I do NOT teach English and communication skills as my primary subjects, but I correct and point out their errors all the time. English teachers tell me that student writing has gotten WORSE since they started to text informally on cell phones with their friends so often.
If we do hold others to a standard of basic communication, then communication becomes more difficult. Perhaps these complaints will make ConfSS more accountable for his egregious errors. I have already tried to point out his errors and encouraged him to at least PROOFREAD before he posts. I have not seen any change in his posts based on my admonitions.

Give 'em hell, RL!
And "fly" really isn't a verb I'd typically associate with "rain" in a school environment. Whatever...just made me know for a certainty I did NOT want to read it.
