  1. What the fu- why can’t we just put him in prison

  2. My take with this is that this entire situation could have been prevented in the first place.

    It was reported that the 6 year old claimed they had a gun. Admin searched their belongings but didn’t find anything so they let the boy return to class.

    Then the crapshoot happened. In my view, this should be on the admins. If a kid claimed they had a gun or even hinted they did/made threats, they should be removed from school or sent home.

  3. the problem with adults is not comprehending that kids this age are FAR more conscious then they realize. these kids are grown up significantly different then their own parents. open your eyes and hold these kids accountable, their smart enough to know you wont and that's the problem.

  4. so basically any kid under 8 can do any crime they want crazy

  5. Too young? Disability? It's obvious he old enough to know how too aim and pull a trigger. What Disability? Plus I don't see any congress people helping our here. Biden get off your ass and speak up.

  6. Nah I would say let that kid suffer. If he felt pleasure doing it. Put him in a mental institution for life. Kids who commit these acts turn into serial killers.

  7. And his life of crime has begun. How about charging the parent?

  8. THE 6 YEAR SHOULD BE IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION IF YOU THINK HE IS TO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND ,HE WAS NOT TOO YOUNG TO PLAIN THE SHOOTING YOU'RE OPENING THE DOOR FOR A CAREER CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. whoa whoa whoa the school was warned that the child had gun and was threatening people with said gun yet they failed to do anything that teacher will win her lawsuit she should also go after the parents as well they are legally responsible for there minor childs actions

  10. Welcome to the Era of VAST individual criminal rights AND the GD Community Reaction Effect squashing Legal, Judicial, & School Administration action. WITHOUT Rules, Regulations, & Administration Decisions, we get what we get…. GD CHAOS. Which is what we have.

  11. The parents should be charge, they were negligent .

  12. The Libtards are thinking of a normal, but confused, kid with anger issues. ASSESS VERY REAL Possibility of a VERY emotionally damaged child, with possible Organic Brain issues !! Or a child with mood conditions; high irritability; possible issues like inability to accept love or bond with nurturing; consider others' feelings & other's value; behavioral cause & effect; individual responsibility; AND RABID PSYCHOPATHIC TENDENCIES.
    ///
    ABOVE ALL, THE PUBLIC (PEOPLE) NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM HIM 24/7 WITH SOLID SECURITY.

  13. I saw the evidence, he clearly knew what he was doing, what a disgrace

  14. FIRST this kid needs to be institutionalized for Everybody's safety. A gun, knife, fork, or any heavy hard object is And Will Continue to Be a Potential Weapon. Second, he needs to Dopped Up per Court Order UNTIL STABLE then backed off, if possible. Third, I am all for talk therapy With Structure AND Consequences. Possible in Residence supervised visits allowed.

  15. cant form the required criminal intent but the kid was able to retrieve and sucessfully smuggle a firearm out of his parents house then into a the vehicle transported him to the school (parents vehicle or school bus) then into a school building and eventually a classroom
    where he then sucessfully shot a school teacher doing those things sucessfully not only shows that he was able to cimprehend right and wrong it shows that he did infact intend to commit and that is criminal intent
    the childs parents should be charged with crimes as well
    they knew they had a respinsibilty to secure that weapon i hope that teacher sues the school and the parents into a lifetime of financial ruin

  16. In what world was it ever even remotely possible that a six year old could be charged with a crime?

  17. HE'LL GET BULLIED THE REST OF HIS SCHOOL LIFE FOR THIS

  18. in England, the motherland of our Justice system, prior to the last 50 years they would of hanged this kid. They hanged children for lesser offenses. This entire thing is hilarious. Legal defense argument: hes incompetent to stand trial and he suffers from a mental illness. Yet he was COMPETENT enough to take a locked up gun, load it, and understand if I shoot this at a person they will die. Thats just comical. Hang the kid!

  19. WHAT A LOSER JUST LIKE HIS PARENTS

  20. I Feel Like The News Media Has Lost It's Collective Mind!!!!!…No Sane Adult Thought A Six Year Old Should Be Charged With Attempted Murder With A Gun!!!!!!!….Meanwhile The Person Who Allowed The Gun To Be Accessed By A 6 Year Old Should Have Been Charged With Reckless Endangerment Of A Child….A School….A Community & The Shooting Of A Victim Because Of Reckless Endangerment Involving A GUN!!!!!!!…This Isn't Supreme Court Level Legally Complicated!!!!!!!!…Arrest The Adult or Adults….Charge Them With A Crime!!!!…If It's Not A Crime To Allow A 6 Year Old To Access A Gun & Take It To School & Shoot Their Teacher Then We Have Totally Failed As A Country!!!!!!..#SCREAMBLOODYMURDER #VOTEBLUE #EVERYZIP #EVERYELECTION #ELECTWOMEN

  21. there will not be any charges in this case. the little thug is too young and the prosecutors already indicated that the worst crime they could charge the parent(s) with is a misdemeanor. I also tend to hypothesize that the thug is a Black kid so, as a protected minority, not only will there be no charges but the case will soon be swept under the media rug. The only hope to see some justice and to get a look at who we are dealing with as far as these crappy parent(s) are concerned, is a civil suit filed by the teacher against them. But I know she has already filed against the school board so she my forgo going after the parent(s).

  22. If the kid was White, he'd be facing Federal Hate Crime Charges.

  23. Not a surprise this is why our country is in the state it is. Is the mother in jail?

  24. It does matter if he a child or not he had a gun he should still be arrested and charge it does not matter if your a child it still a crime what he did

  25. Once again, Everybody gets a Ribbon & Nobody is held Responsible.

  26. Iaaaah Don't Give A Fruit !!!
    Parent & Child Need To Separately Spend AT LEAST 30 DAYS IN THE COOLER FOR REFLECTION (or maybe together, THEN the Mother would spend some QUALITY PARENTING TIME).

  27. How’d this happen in a gun free zone?

  28. And the parents 😒🤦 he got the firearms from somewhere.

  29. LOL, just no answers to the usa gun problem. The parents need to get their brains checked, the child put down.

  30. You see this 6 year olds? If your teacher is being mean to you, you know what to do

  31. He is Michael Meyers in the making.

  32. Couldn’t you use the same logic if a child wants to transition? Aren’t they too young to logically figure it out? It’s a fair question. I’m not trying to offend. But why is one thing too much for a child to handle mentally but the other isn’t?

  33. Yeah. Well the gun that was supposed to be locked away, was free and available for this punk to bring to school and almost shoot his teacher's brains out. The teacher should sue the parents as well. Not just the district….. Parents need to go behind bars and the district, every single one of them…..

  34. We should expect great things from this kid in the future……not.

  35. Don't worry, he'll probably be charged with multiple felonies over the course of his life.

  36. I agree the child should not be charged the parents should how did the kid get a gun
