Good fuck these assholes.
Zero compassion for the victims' families and attempting to flee? Believe it or not, jail.

Compassion for other people? They couldn't even have enough compassion for their own fucking kid. Obviously crying out for help and what do they do? Give him a fucking gun! America. Fuck yea.
CPAC just found their next keynote speakers
Remember these two?
Sigh. Unfortunately. Those two are awful humans.

:O
Because the charges are misdemeanours, the McCloskeys do not face the possibility of losing their law licences and can continue to own firearms.
Who knew brandishing was a misdemeanor
My mind immediately goes to Grand Theft Auto every time I see this picture. Lol
👏 I love that this sets a precedent for parents. You can't just have kids, not parent them, and not be held accountable for their actions. I hope this is expanded across all similar situations, and even extends into other types of crime. raise a kid that does bad things, pay the consequences. then people will understand just how serious it is to create a life.
of course this is slippery slope, but in moderation i think this is fair. if parents did all they could to help the child and they still did bad things, they're not at fault.
They were only held accountable because they're poor.
Don't get it twisted
fair. they couldn't afford the lawyers that rich parents can.
You don't think 2A absolutists would help fund their defence if they thought it would help? This will be precedent setting.
I don’t think they’re high profile enough or nobody high profile enough has rallied for them.
They were held accountable because what they did was absurdly reckless.
I mean also probably don't arm your emotionally unstable teen with a handgun...(Or anyone experiencing genuine emotional challenges) I mean I get hunting rifle for country hunting teens but these type of disasters never have real hunting rifles...it's always tactical shit or handguns.
In general I feel like parents shouldn't be held accountable for everything their kids do; but, in the circumstances surrounding this case where the parents gave a kid that was clearly mentally unstable a gun with no supervision or real steps to safeguard said gun... Yeah they should be held liable.
The mother literally lied said she could not skip work to watch her son, (was disputed by the job which said she could skip) to give her lover a handy in a Costco parking lot.
Ooof... Mother of the year...
of course. that's an extreme of bad parenting.
It sends a message to gun owners. Lock your shit up.
this needs to happen a lot more often
Hoping to see more of this (punishment for parents, not school shootings). Maybe if the owners of guns get prosecuted for crimes committed using their guns, we'd see people putting their OWN gun control into effect.
Owning a gun should be a responsibility, and anyone who isn't maintaining that responsibility should get punished when someone dies because of their negligence.
Personally I feel like that's one of the best ways to start policing guns appropriately. Owners of guns used in crimes should be implicated in the crime committed. The majority of stolen guns aren't heisted from vaults, they're stollen from people who don't secure them. The people that leave them in the car, or in the side table. You wanna deal with illegal guns, that's where you start.
But, but, infant got car deaths have taught me that "parents have suffered enough already." /s
