Quote HistoryQuoted: So to the point of my stance, the kid and his dad were interviewed by LE over his threats to commit mass murder. The dad knew. And then the dad bought him an AR. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It was kicked down to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office So to the point of my stance, the kid and his dad were interviewed by LE over his threats to commit mass murder. The dad knew. And then the dad bought him an AR. To be fair though the cops weren't sure and said it could have been someone else. They weren't even sure of the timeline of when the threats were made. Sounds like the kind of thing that could be easily be asked of the wrong person. Seems easy to have serious doubts about the whole thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Dad got it for him for Christmas Thanks. I'll stand by previous posts. Negligent homicide charge for the father. 25 years in prison should do it. Seems like a pretty slippery slope. Why does it matter if the dad bought the gun for Christmas vs any other time of year? I got a youth model 870 for my twelfth birthday. I know tons of people in real life, and on this forum, that have bought their kids their first gun. How is this father any more guilty than any other parent of a criminal? Did you threaten to shoot up a school right before it was purchased for you? Context matters. We should not be covering for criminally irresponsible behavior.

It’s also more common with kids on the spectrum. As for 3, while it’s not common, many kids are easily influenced by all sorts of stuff.

1. I grew up in a gunsmith shop. I had unsupervised access to guns at any moment, from a very early age. We're not even talking about a parent buying me a gun, we're talking about people dropping off a gun and ammo with me, while my parents were at work, and I drilled and tapped it, mounted their scope, and sighted it in, years before I could drive.
2. The concept of liability flowing to a shitty parent that's kid committed a crime, after they set the stage by providing the means, is NOT new. I've been reading Bentham's commentary about codifying English Common Law from ~200 years ago. It is in there. 3. Georgia has overcharged the dad. All prosecutors overcharge, espicially on politically hot cases, then settle. Dad appears to be legit ripe to go down for some involuntary manslaughter. This is not a gun specific thing, the same thing would have happened with alcohol/car wreck 40 years ago. |

In this particular case, the dad at least has the interviewing SO telling him that they’re following up on the FBI tip linked to the old address, but they don’t know the timeline, and they haven’t positively tied the Discord account and specific posts to Colt (but knowing that his son had problems, still raises the question, “Why wouldn’t you restrict access to firearms, and monitor him more closely?”). That mom KNEW her son was an irresponsible danger to himself and others, and still chose to get him a faster vehicle. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did you you threaten to shot up a school and ha dthe police come to your house to talk to your father? The police came to the fathers house months before he bought his son an AR-15 and told the father that his son had made a threat to shot up a school. The father assured the police that all firearms were secure and he son did not have access to them. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Seems like a pretty slippery slope. Why does it matter if the dad bought the gun for Christmas vs any other time of year? I got a youth model 870 for my twelfth birthday. I know tons of people in real life, and on this forum, that have bought their kids their first gun. How is this father any more guilty than any other parent of a criminal? Did you you threaten to shot up a school and ha dthe police come to your house to talk to your father? The police came to the fathers house months before he bought his son an AR-15 and told the father that his son had made a threat to shot up a school. The father assured the police that all firearms were secure and he son did not have access to them. No they didn't. They showed up and said that someone reported that the kid had made a threat to shoot up the school. Then they determined that they have no idea if the kid ever said that. |

The dad requested to be removed from general population at the jail. I guess he is still in denial that he did anything wrong.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think the local cops didn't really understand what they had been given by the FBI. The FBI had the IP address that put the posts at where they lived at the time. ip addresses are not always useful. 99% of the time especially from mobile apps it will lead you to the provider with a device ID. these things are virtually impossible to prove in court with out other data to pin them down. you can say for certain "x" account made the post from "x" device at this time and date. you can't generally prove who typed it. more than once i have had these hit a dead end with... someone got my device when i went to the bathroom. without a history of issues and a verified track record a one off threat post is almost impossible to prosecute without a confession. a lot of people think this stuff is much easier than it generally is. it takes time to get warrants for data from the providers, apps may never even respond to one if they even have any data to report. by the time that is in place days to weeks have gone by and if there is going to be an event it's already happened. |

Then they determined that they have no idea if the kid ever said that. when i pass these off to local LE we give them a packet with all the relevant data including screen caps of the post and where it was posted. they would know exactly what app to review or if on social media it's already captured for them in the event it is scrubbed. i have no idea what these guys were given or told but the fbi is generally pretty good about supplying data for these cases IF they have it. it is also 100% possible the intel team validated a potential threat and just tossed it over the wall with "this kid posted this might wanna check it out." i have seen them provide really good complete data and i have also seen them end it with a phone call. |

"Say, we heard from someone that you or someone in your family sad something bad and you have guns. Can we come in and see them?" Some series of events are easier seen looking backwards, not forwards. GD doesn't like "Red flag" laws but school shootings! Not all troubled folks can be involuntary commits but maybe more careful and "aware" investigation of some early tips and signs. If there are a "high" level of nuisance calls about kids, guns, threats, schools, etc., a serious one might be hidden in the noise.
It seems likely family/parents aren't going to be an effective wall against "off" kids. Too close to the problem, don't see a problem, help cause the problems, etc. Teachers will say any questions you had about a student are answered when you meet the parents for your first conference. Parents/families intentionally or accidentally move troubled students from school to school either to avoid getting "the system" involvement or just through family dynamics the kid gets moved around. The child may not be in one place long enough for a school, the new school, etc., to quickly identify and begin dealing with potential problems. Maybe they feel the kid is bullied or not getting services and they move to try to get better results. Maybe a parent is failing, and the kids go to an aunt, job changes and under involved parents. No one is catching on quickly enough that the kid has problems, too. With roughly 50 million school students in the US, that's a lot of kids to sift through to find the few with really big problems. I'd think it really has to be approached on a local level, and the schools have more visibility butalso no one likely wants excessively intrusive school monitotring or all the students. |

The description of generalities is interesting and good to know. However, there was no indication that the IP address in this case was tied to a mobile device. They said the IP indicated X physical address, and an email associated with the dad, if I am recalling what was said during the porch interview. Also, sometimes providers will give police data without a warrant; we don't know if these guys or the FBI even tried, do we? (I don't think we do and I don't think they did). |

(I don't think we do and I don't think they did). i will just say what "they say" and what "they got" are often different things. most LE don't know the difference in an IP address and a sandwich. like i said i wasn't involved so have no clue what data they were given prior to the knock and talk. only going off what i see here on a regular basis. my suspicion is if the threat was deemed credible enough with enough positive ID paperwork would have been processed and analysts should have been crawling through those accounts. based on that interview i am going with none of that really happened on the backend. they didn't really have much to go on and they have to follow up on every report. thus... spoke with dad... case closed.. back in service. there are emergencies where providers will provide the data prior to the subpoena but they are rare and most major carries don't like doing it. it also has to meet some specific criteria which this did not appear to do so at that time. |

I wonder if the FBI stumbled upon these threats while operating in a gray area and couldn't disclose exactly how they found the posts. "Police then reviewed the FBI tip two days later and zeroed in on a Discord account created after Colt claimed to have deleted his that used several different IP addresses in different states. A photo attachment included with the tip showed the profile name was written in Russian and translated as “Lanza.” "Jackson County Sheriff Janis Mangum defended her department after she said she reviewed the report from last year and found nothing that could have led to charges." |
