There had better be some nigger parents being charged.

The parents of Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 when
he fatally shot four of his classmates at school in November 2021, could
face trial for the involuntary manslaughter charges filed against them.

The Michigan Supreme Court on Tuesday denied James and Jennifer Crumbley's appeal challenging a lower court's decision to allow the couple to stand
trial.

The Supreme Court said it denied the appeal because judges "are not
persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court."

James and Jennifer are each facing four counts of involuntary
manslaughter. Evidence filed against them so far includes text messages
that appear to show how they ignored their son's pleas for help in the
year prior to the shooting. Jennifer also said in a Facebook post prior to
the shooting that she and her husband purchased a gun as a Christmas
present for their son.

The day of the shooting, both parents met with Ethan's school counselor
after he was caught with violent drawings in class. Prosecutors say the
parents "flatly refused" to take him home that morning.

Hours later, Ethan took the gun his parents apparently purchased for him
out of his backpack and killed 16-year-old Tate Myre, 16-year-old Justin Shilling, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana and 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin. He injured seven others.

OXFORD SCHOOL SHOOTER ETHAN CRUMBLEY CAN BE SENTENCED TO LIFE WITHOUT
PAROLE FOR KILLING 4 STUDENTS

Ethan could face life in prison without the possibility of parole, a judge ruled last week.

In a March filing, the Michigan Court of Appeals laid out its reasoning
behind allowing a trial for James and Jennifer Crumbley.

MICHIGAN JUDGE RULES OXFORD SCHOOLS, STAFF CANNOT BE SUED OVER 2021 ETHAN CRUMBLEY MASS SHOOTING

"Despite their knowledge of all of these circumstances, when given the
option to help [Ethan] and take him out of school, defendants did
nothing," the filing states. "They did not, contrary to the
recommendations of [school counselor Shawn] Hopkins, take [Ethan] home and
get him immediate medical help. Nor, when they decided to leave him at
school, did they tell school officials about [Ethan's] history of mental
health issues nor explain to them that [Ethan] had access to a gun similar
to the one he drew on the math worksheet."

The filing added that neither James nor Jennifer Crumbley asked Ethan "if
he had the gun with him nor did they look in his backpack. And, when they
left the school, defendants did not go home and ensure [Ethan] had not
taken the gun."

OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS' ATTORNEY ALLEGES ARMED GUARD THOUGHT SHOOTING WAS A DRILL: ‘GOOD MAKEUP'

Attorneys for the Crumbley parents argue they could not have predicted
their son's plan to commit a mass shooting before it happened.

If James and Jennifer Crumbley do make it to trial, it would be the first
of its kind.

The parents left their hometown of Oxford at the time of the shooting, and authorities, including the U.S. Marshals Service, issued an alert for
their arrests. Their attorneys said they fled for their own safety and
turned themselves in several days later.
