The sheriff’s office said that it had informed the middle school in Jackson County that he had attended, but school officials there denied this week they were told of the threat.
Sheriff's are quite possibly the most corrupt arm of law enforcement. I don't believe him for a second.
Ms. Gray pleaded guilty in December to charges of criminal damage to property and “criminal trespass/family violence.” She was ordered to pay damages to a construction company where Mr. Gray had worked and was forbidden from having direct contact with her estranged husband, court records show.
So, you got him a professional who could help him start to sort and address his multiple needs, right? (The family had been evicted, so this is a rhetorical question to which the answer is almost surely, "they did not have the means to do so.")

Oh, I'm beginning to think this kid didn't have the best home life.
She had also been arrested in November on suspicion of possessing small amounts of methamphetamine, fentanyl and muscle relaxants, according to arrest warrants. But court records indicate that she was not charged with drug possession.
Fuckin' shit.
It's the manifestation and sequela of the diseases of despair and trauma. We made this mess, we can clean it up. Thing is, it's not going to be a McDrive through effort from someone else. It's going to be all of us, working very hard together, on every level and every ability, for a long time. Forever, if we want to keep the progress.
Blows my goddamn mind. We'll jail everyone involved in the sale of the gun but won't stop the sale. Just a little bit of regulation. No one needs an ar-15 with a high capacity magazine. NO ONE, except the armed forces. I know this'll get gun nuts lathered up but it's true. Stop making guns your whole personality
It's a standard capacity mag, it's not what any military uses. It's a plastic semi-auto rifle, nothing more. It's not magically more dangerous than any other semi-auto rifle.
Instead of focusing political capital on trying to ban something that's not going to magically reduce the number of firearm deaths in this country, we should be pushing for single payer, Ending the war on drugs, ubi, fixing our school system, making sure everyone has access to housing and food. There is so much we can do to reduce not only gun violence but all violence vs another awb which doesn't work.
Be careful, you dont want to be too common sense or you will be labeled a right wing idealogue. People fail to realize that criminals will find a way every time. They dont care about gun laws any more than any other law. These people would rather bandaid the issue than address what is pushing kids to want to shoot up their peers. Its the video games cause violence argument all over again.
Oh it's not that bad, what about etc etc.
I'd be happier seeing the whole world's armed services armed with food, medical supplies, vaccinations (not weird ones used to commit atrocities). It's a longer term dream, to manifest, we've got to start from where we are.
Man, someone at the school really dropped the ball if this is true.
Jfc. And they still bought the kid a gun.
The father. The parents had been separated *before the time FBI contacted the father, who then bought the child the assault rifle. The mother and her family had been trying to get the son treatment.
Jfc again. I hope a few heads roll with this one.
Dad thought taking the kid to kill a deer was therapy.
God, if there was ever a reason to award someone full custody, this would have been it.
Strange that the FBI contacted the FATHER and not the mother regarding a child (unless both were visited?). So weird as usually it's the opposite; schools for example always try and work with the mother when it comes to kids and their parents.
