I believe the phrase you're looking for is S***hole.

But, you know, thoughts and prayers and all that.

Shooter’s name was Colt Grey? Named after a gun.

So in the past the kid made comments about a school shooting, FBI tracked him down and the local cops interviewed the kid and the parents. Not enough evidence so they didn't prosecute. They move and the red flag on the kid gets lost in the shuffle. At this point nobody at the new school knows about his past, only the parents know.

Father decides to buy the kid a gun for a holiday present? Seriously?

The father should be charged with every count of accessory to murder at the least. If you know your kid is a potential danger to others at 14 years old how the F do you go out and buy him an AR-15? Yes I know, murica

Well, at least it's something.

Those charges are a lot more substantial than what you were asking for. I don't know what they could do more from a prosecution standpoint.

Removing God from prayer just demonstrates what the whole practice is in the first place: wishing.

I guess these are the times in which we live, where school shooting with only 2 dead doesn't really move the needle.

2 dead and 6 injured (2 life threatening) at Wisconsin private christian school. The shooter, a 15 year old female, took her own life.

Two never moves the needle lol. Five is probably the minimum to elicit a small shrug. I feel like it's not worth mentioning until it gets to double digits. And yeah that's really crass, but Murica, so whatever.

I get annoyed reading the same old narrative at this point, the only new wrinkle these days is whether they charge the parents or not.

I can't recall the last time a school shooter was female? Was this the first time?

I actually couldn't recall either:

An FBI review of active shooter incidents from 2000 to 2019 found that of the 345 total perpetrators, 332 were men and just 13 were women.
