  • parents can face trial for manslaughter

    Michigan school shooter' parents can face trial for manslaughter,
    court rules

    The parents of a teenager who killed four students at a Michigan high
    school can face trial for involuntary manslaughter, the state appeals
    court said Thursday in a groundbreaking case of criminal
    responsibility for the acts of a child.

    The murders would not have happened if the parents hadn't purchased a
    gun for Ethan Crumbley or if they had taken him home from Oxford High
    School on the day of the shooting, when staff became alarmed about his
    extreme drawings, the appeals court said.

    They bought him a fucking gun. Yes, there should be penalties. You say "groundbreaking case" and I say "about time, actually."
