  1. Their kind sickens me, all they do is resort to crime killing the innocent and play victim smh

  2. Most normal american school

  3. Charge every mother who's son shot and killed innocent human beings in Chicago

  4. what a POS arguemnt from that lawyer.

  5. Why on earth should there be a hearing on the child. What a waste of taxpayers' money. We all saw he killing others in school. It is guilty as it is. This child is a lose cost to our society. Life for a life. Death penalty.
    Our law system wants to be fair. Asked thoses parent who their child were killed if it's fair that a killer is still living.
    Let's those dead children parents be the jury and have them decide life in prison or the death penalty.

  6. The parents told him to do it

  7. they should go to jail, of course, they should. That kid was losing it, the writing was on the wall. Maybe this will be a heads-up for all parents of troubled kids. Do something before is too late man.

  8. All parents who owns a gun and if you don’t know where your gun is at all times you should have NEVER BROUGHT A GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE

  9. No you owe the legal duty to make shore your kid never got the firearm in the first place

  10. so, where did that Dorky Kid obtain A Gun ? Charge those so called Parents.

  11. I don’t think they should be accountable

  12. Public school is the dangerous place for children. I think private schools will boom soon

  13. He needs to go a mental institution. The parents are liable. They did not provide the medical treatment he needed.

  14. The parents and the kid can be should be held accountable..common sense

  15. The parents got him the gun. They are guilty, period

  16. Just looking at these parents I see adults who never should have been parents! Total disconnection in those faces, even for each other. Doesn't mean they not responsible!! Time they learnt that lesson in my book.

  17. He bought the gun for the 15-year-old

  18. Not sure if this is a parent thing as much as it is aiding a person, directly or indirectly, in a crime.

  19. Yes. They have blood on their hands too. They must pay the consequences. I hope this will apply nationwide.

  20. My parents can’t help me with my troubles either I don’t think the parents should be blame they did feed, protect, raised him up. We can’t read other people’s minds, we don’t see these ‘warning signs’

  21. YES. Children are an extension of you therefore PARENTS SHOULD BE LIABLE 100% for any of their childrens actions…..PARENTS TODAY TREAT THEIR KIDS LIKE ADULTS AND LET THEIR KIDS RUN ALL OVER THEM.

  22. Stupid pretty much let tha kid go. If this the case kids would start more shooting .

  23. They both need to be held accountable for their CHILD WHO IS A MINOR, SO IF THE PARENTS BOUGHT HIM DRUGS OR ALCOHOLIC DRINKS ARE THEY NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE?!?!?!

  24. You guys better talk to your kids about bullying..

  25. If your kid is an entitled brat, should you buy him a PS5?? I wonder

  26. It's ABOUT TIME! Of course no parent owes the 'legal duty' to keep other children safe, buy they most certainly are LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILD(REN). Therefore, KNOWING that their lunatic son was MENTALLY UNSTABLE they should have NOT PURCHASED a GUN for him, or far worse, allowed him access to it. While the school may have been unaware as to how dangerous this sicko was, his PARENTS did know and blatantly disregarded it. So YES, HOLD THE PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE for their contribution to the senseless murders of 4 innocent young lives.

  27. When These Psychiatric antidepressants ssri snri and lithium Lamictal etc Stimulants psychiatric drugs over prescriptions and the Big pharma WAY MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANY OPIOIDS! OR BENZODIAZEPINES etc marijuana..
    The antidepressants ssri snri are so Dangerous not for the user Only but like you see everyone else too! The Gun was Just tool MISUSED and Abused!
    These manic sociopathic behavioral state is exactly what antidepressants ssri snri etc Wellbutrin etc does!! Same Goes withdrawal of lithium or Antipsychotics rat Poison! :'( so Sad… That should be the Biggest criminals out there! Beside this perpetrator And his parent's ("wouldn't surprise me if They would under influence of Antidepressants etc too") or ADHD Bs legal Speed aka methylphenidate And Amphetamines!…:'(🕊️✌️🙏🏽🙏🏻 wishing All the best For the victims loved ones And i jave used and shoot Weapons since i was 14 and NEVER ever! Like a car you can't imagine something maniacal lunacy line this!
    No Matter what the "Weapon" is car knife gun that's not the point! But why And why Psychiatric Big pharma And mainstream media won't care really about Innocent people They Would instantly said what They had paid not to say = Psychiatric antidepressants drug's are 100%! Catalysts! 🙁 And other like Bibolar Bull sh neurotoxins! Or Stimulant legal Speed 🕊️🤕😢😓😞

  28. How come we never see black parents being charged when their kids shoot people? Black privilege maybe? They get a pass everytime.

  29. What could go wrong giving your kid a gun instead of love or something practical to help their education THEN to be held to account to what the child does with a deadly weapon…how convenient! NO way should they get off they are responsible for the outcome of what happen.

  30. If you are a gun owner and you have a kid with mental issues you are just as responsible what you kid has done cause you failed to notice the signs,and you failed to secure you gun. Charging the parents is the right step this goes for everyone not just them.

  31. TIMES AFTER TIMES AND SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND RAMPAGE, KILLED HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS INNOCENT CHILDREN IN SCHOOL, JUST SIMPLY GUN LAW HAS FAILED IN THIS COUNTRY. TO THOSE(REPUBLICANS) STILL BELIEVE IN HAVE THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS AND ENJOY HAVING WEAPONS IN YOUR EFFING HOUSE. JUST REMEMBER THIS YOUNG MAN'S FACE AND THESE INNOCENT LIVES HE TOOK. IT COULD BE YOUR CHILD NEXT…WTF 😬😢🤬💀☠️

  32. They should… wait they are white. Nothing will happen to them.

  33. Slippery slope charging people for crimes they did not commit
    Media only does follow ups on W shooters which is why most think Vegas happened yesterday

  34. Parents is accountable 50%.. Because it's bad parenting.. You don't teach ur kids a young age how to behave, how to live , how to respect others how respect ur parents. You let your kids do whatever they want saying human rights, freedom life their choice and now see ur kids is pointing gun and shooting their friends, family members etc… Good parenting is not a waste let's say as good investment

  35. Bruh, parents dont know a lot of things of their child, hek not even who they are dating. So stop putting blame on the innocent parents. Guns are legal. Deal with it now

  36. Been talking about this since the 90s SMH adults aren’t responsible for themselves today why would we expect them to be responsible for their children. The living always have rights to stay living and continue the cycle lol Anyone else doesn’t matter..

  37. this is stupid, just charge the whole lot bro like literally i cant believe they go through all of this, just charge all of them and put them all in jail
