    So, the father gave this murderer an AR-15 AFTER the kid was investigated for his online threats. The father enabled his son to commit mass murder and should be held accountable and live out the rest of his life in prison.
  • @Prudence-i7u
    There is no such thing as.."not my child" Yes, your child, my child, anyone's child. Carol Burnett said, You have to love your child enough to allow them to hate you. Ya gotta parent. 🥺🤷
  • @cathmires8990
    This is correct. The parents need to be held responsible until they've moved out of the house and then they're on their own.
  • @JTSA1234
    Bad parenting is not unusual, unfortunately.
  • @DerekWrites
    Bought AFTER police already told him his kid threatened to shoot people.
  • About time parents are being held responsible for their dependents violent behavior.
  • @MasonCash2024
    Thats a FAST turn around on the charges and well decided. That judge needs to be in charge of the sour satsuma's cases.
  • @OptimusOne
    It's about time the parent(s) are held accountable for their child's murderous behaviors.
  • @brianfreeman8290
    Amazing how fast justice can move when the accused is not rich.
  • @mboffield
    WHO GIVES A TROUBLED 14 YEAR OLD AN AR-15??
  • @mluirph
    Mental health issues or not, a child/teen should not have access to a gun, let alone an AR-15.
  • @sevenfights
    I'm a 38yr old black man. As a kid, my mom would throw away toy guns I got as gifts behind my back. That guy isn't a parent.
  • His tears are out of fear not remorse. Just like Ethan Crumbley's father.
  • @Mary1393
    This is not a strategy , it’s holding the proper folks ,parents, accountable with their children. Wake up gun owners.
  • @jessiejoseph1093
    Dad is rocking back and forth in distress. Dude, this is your fault. Child cruelty, yes, it was cruel his Mom is a drug addict and his Dad is intellectually deficient.
  • @ronnyskaar3737
    He named his son Colt, and gave him an AR-15 when he was still a child. He has destroyed his son.
  • Why would a father buy a child a gun like an AR-15 for a present? This is crazy!!
  • @leslieb5836
    But they want to ban books. But we can't ban AR-15. Where is the logic in that.
  • @Mary1393
    It’s time for this type of father to be held accountable.
