I think this whole situation is way more f d up than some people even realize. The mom is actually crazy, once tying her own mom to a chair and leaving her there for 24 hours, threatening to kill the dad and then herself, said she would specifically kill Colt to get back at her mom. This child has seen some sick things and was surrounded by crazy people. People have described the kid as “traumatized” and the grandfather even said the dad pushed the kid to do this. The dad talked about Colt being bullied often and being worried about him so he wanted to teach him about “gun safety”! The only thing this father was teaching his child was how to shoot guns when the kid was being bullied at school. Thats when Colt probably started having those thoughts and planned on doing it.

@@fwairysweetz5934 a child's appearance changing drastically within a year, I would look at that as a sign that something is going on. No I'm not an adult in his life so I dont know the circumstances for his change, but if my child all of a sudden did a major change like that within a year, I would ask questions. We would have to sit down and talk or I would arrange for my child to go talk to a health care professional. I dont know if you are a parent but that would be a red flag for me. Whats your point, asking my point?

This has been going on for far too long and too many innocent people have been killed. When are they going to put metal detectors in the schools along with a police officer. If the detector goes off, the kid gets searched. If they can’t be searched because of parental consent then you have every parent sign a waiver each year giving permission to search them. Security is too lacks especially in my district and the surrounding ones.

My nephew is a Winder, Georgia police officer. This shooting has really affected him. Although he did more shoot anyone, he still saw dead & traumatized children. He is a father of three, two that go to Winder schools. What is wrong with our youth to consider a school shooting. The guns are another problem for later! Edit: spelling error

[@nicolerose7452]

The populations mental health is the actual problem. Kids are being damaged as they're being raised.

You have the empathy and personal understanding of how much these shooting affect a community. Yet you still think guns are a “problem for later” - they are the MAIN problem. If a kid is repeatedly throwing a ball to break a window you TAKE THE BALL AWAY!

They had the IP address. They had him admitting he had a discord account at the time. The photos he posted could PROBABLY be easily matched to the guns in the house he had access to. Allowing him to deny saying it and having no punishment, at the very least holding him accountable and facing he DID say it. "He knows how serious it is" no he does not he won't even admit what he said. The FBI has the IP address. HOW did they let it off this easy.

[@emilybrumbaugh7242]

The threat happened closer to the end of his 7th grade year. He moved before 7th grade was over. The cops visited them during the end of 7th grade' in May, when Dad mentioned Colts 1st (young) buck kill. He went through all of 8th grade with no threat issues that we've heard of. And thats the Christmas he got his own gun. Then he started 9th grade at Apache on Sept 3 as a transefer student because they moved again. The very next day, he did the unthinkable. I just had to write that out because that was a lot of information. A lot of moving.

[@brandyfreeman4098]

Colt mentioned they had moved 6 times at that time to the officer he had a little one on one convo with. No telling how many times they have moved now. No excuse for what he did but seems there was a lot of instability & turmoil in that boys life

[@marilynh.]

After seeing the dad in court getting arraign, I am convinced he is 💯 remorseful. The sincere feelings of guilt that the father displayed were nothing short of regrets. However, it doesn't excuse his parenting actions of rewarding his young son with a ak 47 after the fact that he was warned by the FBI. A wise man once told me that our mistakes will cost us. This father made a grave mistake - he must and will pay for this mistake.

[@bpxl53yewz29]

But the thing is he was not warned by the FBI. What we just saw was the official “investigation “ by the county sheriff’s. Nothing was shown to him (the online proof), no evidence of what the FBI would later reveal they had (ex. His Google searches) At this point the father was still in the dark.

[@ladyhotep5189]

Well, between this parent and the parents of the other shooter being locked up maybe parents will be more proactive in these situations.
