I bet they felt very safe since they themselves are armed.

Too bad he didn't shoot them early that morning, prior to his school rampage.

They were SHOCKED that he lied to them and kept an extra key to the safe. Why would someone who wanted to slaughter a bunch of innocent humans lie?

They're a couple of morons. I had thought they felt guilty, but since they're essentially saying they had no problem with the fact he owned guns.....as it was his right......I think they have blood on their hands too.

i am one of them..this place goes batshit over a stray kitten, stray teen? not so much dembotoz Feb 2018 #12

You have no idea what the parents knew. So easy to blame them. They tried to help.... USALiberal Feb 2018 #70

The fact is Cruz is a white supremacist and a terrorist GusBob Feb 2018 #76

Typical lynch mob mentality here. nt USALiberal Feb 2018 #80

Thank you, I agree! Nt USALiberal Feb 2018 #82

It is being reported the kid has an inheritance of $800K GusBob Feb 2018 #99

But youre not judging without all the facts... HopeAgain Feb 2018 #100

Things do not occur in a vacuum GusBob Feb 2018 #101

Cruz was technically an adult, legally in possession of the guns. HopeAgain Feb 2018 #102

Turns out the kid is worth $800K GusBob Feb 2018 #98

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that these people listen to InfoWars and other CT shows LiberalLovinLug Feb 2018 #18

Based on what exactly? Baconator Feb 2018 #87

I hope they are sued into poverty by the victims samir.g Feb 2018 #21

Nope. Evidently too much to ask. Nt B2G Feb 2018 #38

Why would they have a troubled kid with guns in their house safe or not ?! tia uponit7771 Feb 2018 #59

Thank you orangecrush Feb 2018 #71

They knew there were two keys to the gun locker-it was their locker bdjhawk Feb 2018 #26

I saw some of the interview as well Catherine Vincent Feb 2018 #27

This is not a fair characterization of that family GitRDun Feb 2018 #28

They also weren't his guardians. I saw an interview with them this morning. LisaM Feb 2018 #30

I hear you I really do GitRDun Feb 2018 #33

They also weren't obligated to let him to live in their house, keeping multiple guns in his room. LisaL Feb 2018 #42

That was what most struck me - that owning an AR-15 seemed normal to them. LisaM Feb 2018 #53

+1 uponit7771 Feb 2018 #62

It's an AR-15. AR-16 was never put into production. LisaL Feb 2018 #74

I agree. I was in their corner too, but that interview is making it hard for me to stay there. kcr Feb 2018 #86

Thank you. ollie10 Feb 2018 #37

He bought the safe himself, those safes comes with two keys. Why would they allow uponit7771 Feb 2018 #60

Exactly. He purchased the safe, safe was in his room. LisaL Feb 2018 #75

I saw the interview, it made me sick liberal N proud Feb 2018 #32

It made no difference. The first woman who took him in, the woman who had been named pnwmom Feb 2018 #34

You are defending the guy who to this day thinks Cruz had a right to own an AR-15. LisaL Feb 2018 #39

I am defending logic. Whether he had a roof over his head or was living in the park, pnwmom Feb 2018 #46

What of a 19 year old female wanted to have a 35 year old man she met JI7 Feb 2018 #50

Does that scenario have anything to do with the Cruz case? pnwmom Feb 2018 #56

I imagine those who are ok with bringing the guns would not be ok with 19 year old JI7 Feb 2018 #57

But whether they were okay with the guns in their house or not pnwmom Feb 2018 #61

So what ? 19 year old girls can go somewhere else to have sex JI7 Feb 2018 #65

But that has nothing to do with the situation. I clearly said above that I wouldn't have pnwmom Feb 2018 #68

There is still something seriously wrong with it and what they are NOW saying JI7 Feb 2018 #69

Do you think Cruz had a right to own an AR-15? LisaL Feb 2018 #58

I think he legally had the right and he shouldn't. The laws should have been changed long ago. pnwmom Feb 2018 #63

There is nothing logical about this argument kcr Feb 2018 #89

Can you explain how kicking him out of the house with his gun, like the first woman did, pnwmom Feb 2018 #90

So, host someone with a bunch of guns because someone's going to do it anyway? kcr Feb 2018 #91

I've said more than once that I probably would have reacted like the first woman. pnwmom Feb 2018 #92

I don't think anyone is arguing that they caused it. kcr Feb 2018 #94

Yeah, there ARE some people arguing that by giving him a home pnwmom Feb 2018 #95

Oh they absolutely enabled him kcr Feb 2018 #96

They didn't allow him to move in "willy nilly" with his guns. They required him pnwmom Feb 2018 #97

idiots. spanone Feb 2018 #35

They need to be prosecuted and jailed! They'll certainly be sued up the ying-yang & rightfully so. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2018 #36

Why? Numerous people had reported him and the state agencies did nothing. pnwmom Feb 2018 #47

Well... That's just creepy and authoritarian... Baconator Feb 2018 #88

No they shouldn't, and no they won't be obamanut2012 Feb 2018 #105

Any responsible party would know you don't have guns around people that are having mental issues. del19713 Feb 2018 #40

The first family wouldn't let him in, so he left with his guns. Sometime later, he did the shooting. pnwmom Feb 2018 #49

Just lsewpershad Feb 2018 #43

Adam Lanza's mother also knew her son had mental issues Chimichurri Feb 2018 #45

The situations aren't the same at all. These people didn't give him weapons, pnwmom Feb 2018 #48

You're right, it isn't the same. But they're also not his parents kcr Feb 2018 #93

Yup. They're idiots AND liars. nt SunSeeker Feb 2018 #51
