Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley will plead guilty to murder and terrorism charges, evading a trial.
He was not offered any plea deal and is expected to spend the remainder of his life in jail.
It’s unclear if he’s reached any form of a plea deal that’s incentivizing him to plead guilty.
Unlike Florida, where Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz barely dodged execution last week, Michigan doesn’t have the death sentence.
Crumbley’s parents have also been charged in the shooting he carried out at Oxford High School.
They’ve been charged with permitting him to have access to firearms and failing to intervene, even on the day of the carnage.
They’d been called into the school to discuss his demonic scribblings on workbooks, where he’d penned about dark thoughts that just wouldn’t stop, and instead of taking him home that day, they left him in school and promised to pursue counselling for the lad.
He then opened fire on classmates, killing four of them. Sixteen-year-old Crumbley is due in court on Monday.
This child’s life is over before it even began, and perhaps if he’d got the support that was needed these heartbreaking and tragic killings wouldn’t have taken place, and obviously he’s an extremely sick individual.
Clearly, the parents had no control over him or just didn’t care, especially having firearms in the home, which is fine for protection but when children are in the home, firearms need to be locked away.
What this child did was bad, we can all agree with that, but his parents need to be held accountable for the role that they played in this complete tragedy, and for totally failing their child.
Knowing what you’re doing takes a healthy and aware person, and clearly, this child is not, and an abused and neglected brain does not form well, and will never reach that point, which means that this child was in survival mode. I’m not condoning what he did, but he never truly stood a chance with parents like that.
And as much as I hate to say it, the school are also guilty and should be held responsible. They contacted the parents because they could clearly see that something was very wrong, and they should have had security search him before they let him back into the classroom.
Obviously, this child was begging for help, but no one did anything. He was saying that the voices kept coming, but nobody did anything. An ambulance should have been called immediately and he should have been forcibly committed so that he could have a lengthy evaluation at a mental hospital.
This is disgusting and this is a tragedy that could have been prevented.
The child was asking for help, he was literally begging for help and no one did anything, and what’s more, the school knew there was a serious situation, and if the parents refused to take the child home, they should have called Child Services, but of course, let’s blame the gun!
