A jury has found a Michigan mother guilty of involuntary manslaughter for failing to stop her son from carrying out a deadly school shooting.
Jennifer Crumbley, 45, is the first US parent convicted of manslaughter over a mass shooting carried out by their child.
Prosecutors accused her of being negligent in allowing her son to have a gun, and ignoring warnings signs.
Her husband, James, is facing a separate trial on the same charges.
Really? Fukking really???
Who’s next? The school for not supplying enough bullet proof vests? Road maintenance crews for closing potholes allowing the shooter to reach the school?
Anything but the companies selling the fukking guns. Unbelievable. No wonder the US is the inbred laughing stock of the bloody planet.
Best to sue the zoos. They locked the animals up that otherwise would have eaten the 17 year old before he reached the school.

@vivify saidSelling guns to people with teenage kids is negligence as well. All those hormones all over the place. That’s just asking for an over-reaction somewhere down the line.
The article says the parents gave their teen son a gun despite clear warnings of mental health issues, including the boy himself telling the parents he wanted help for it.
I agree guns are the problem. But giving a gun to a teen despite clear warning signs is negligence.
Like every fukking school shooting the last 20 bloody years.
Just look at the republican incels on this site alone. You wouldn’t trust them to tie your shoe laces, never mind handle a bloody gun.

When I was in high school we had a marksmanship club that would go to another school on weekends that had an underground range to practice and hold inter-school competitions..
No, this wasn't in some rural deep South area,, it was in Los Angeles,
Sad how things have changed.
