The parents of the suspect in a shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan that left four students dead this week are facing involuntary manslaughter charges in those deaths. Legal experts were quick to point out that such charges are far from the norm.

Legal experts were quick to point out that such charges are far from the norm -- it is James and Jennifer Crumbley's 15-year-old son, Ethan, who is accused of pulling the trigger and killing four of his fellow high school students."It's exceptionally unusual," said Cassandra Crifasi, deputy director of Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence and Research."We rarely hold people accountable for giving someone a gun who shouldn't have one.

That could be a stumbling point for the prosecution, Charles Coleman Jr., a former prosecutor, told CNN's Jake Tapper. "Quite frankly, I don't think that the prosecution is going to have a strong case with them regarding any of the gun possession laws in and of themselves, at least not against the parents.

Wow

The parents involvement in this horrific attack by their son is far from the norm. Like their son the parents need to suffer the consequences of their actions.

GOOD!! They need to be charged!! NO child ANYWHERE should have free access to any gun!! 😭 Why haven't we LEARNED? How many INNOCENTS need to die in this backwards, redneck, greedy, CRUEL country?!?💔 MomsDemand GunReformNow

We can only imagine what is being taught at home..SAD. all of these lives destroyed

Easier for teens to get a gun than booze🤦‍♀️

Only valid reason a minor should have a gun would be for hunting. That would be a rifle and not a handgun. The minor as well as adults must complete a gun safety course before being allowed to hunt. All guns should always be locked up. We do have bio safes for home protection.

Office bet: both parents will be found dead following murder-suicide.

That guys head looks like a block of wood

Justice

Parents need to be held accountable. It’s about time parents have responsibility for their Guns Be a responsible gun owner or face the consequences

The Judge knows more than we do. It must be pretty bad though.🇳🇿😪

I see where the kid gets his looks from.

I don't know what planet the American media live on but the repeated notion the couple has gone to Canada is absolutely stupid. Even Canadians are having a hell of a time getting back into Canada from US even on short quick trips because of COVID vax restrictions and screening!

Try not to get caught. 😝😝😝

JasmineStylesTV They should be charged

Are any of these experts black?

I bet Kyle rotten houses judge is going to help them escape! They'll all be together for Christmas.

All I wanted was a Pepsi and you wouldn't give it to me!!!

CNN please help IF I AM KILLED YOU KNOW IT IS BECAUSE I AM STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS: Walmart was underpaying and I had no idea. When I asked they bullied, harassed and FIRED ME We deserve Justice ❤️🙏🏾

It seems, if you live in the US, accept that your child may be the victim of a school shooting. Yeah, guns aren’t the problem, sure…

This shooting occurred during a pandemic-surviving students are dealing w/the trauma of shooting . How many parents will continue to send their kids to school in person when it’s CLEARLY PROVEN school leadership can’t keep kids safe? High time the shooter’s parents are charged.

'far from the norm' I wonder if school shootings will ever be... Mass shootings in general.

So sad and selfish. You can’t humainly defend your child’s action but to abandon him at this point speaks to the character of the parents.

Still ZERO post on the GhislaneMaxwell trial from you goofballs.....

Yikes so many moms in south side Chicago are in a panic if this is going to be a new normal

Maybe it was if it was closer to the norm this wouldn't happen so often. How many 15 year olds can get ahold of guns without their parents or relatives having it already them accessible the house?

Looks like these charges were brought on by facts. Nothing more.

Where the fuck are they

They willfully ignored warnings & put their crazy armed kid back in school to kill. willfullignorance is the 8th deadly sin. EndGunViolence

It is about time that the gun owners were held responsible. Gun owners should make sure their lethal weapons can't be reached by others. I have said all along bring charges against the weapon owner and things would change.

You Fabricated fake News Regarding Ethiopian school Lockdown. Ethiopia Close Schools To Collect Harvested Crops Of Ethiopian Defencing farmers. That is only for one week. The education minister announced on Dec, 3/2021 This is The Only Truth.

So my question is since Kyle rittenhouse never cross state line with the gun.. Should the person that gave him the gun be held accountable
