In reply to the discussion: These murders and the ruination of a 17 year old are the direct fault of Trump and his nasty cabal [View all]dixiechiken1
(2,113 posts)25. These are the questions I've had, also...
This kid's been on the Midwest leg of his own little MAGA Tour 2020 and he's only 17 yrs old. WTAF?
The screenshots I have seen of his social media pages show him with (what I assume is) that same gun with which he has since shot three people, two of whom are now dead. I don't remember seeing any adults in those photos. Were there any? Why did this kid have unfettered access to an AR-15? Where is/was the adult supervision? WTAF?
So. Many. Questions.
Bottom line is this kid's life is over. And it should be. This is/was not a video game and there has to be consequences. What a senseless waste.
But then again, "senseless waste" seems to be SOP under this GD administration.

Actually, he was too young to legally own a gun. But most people shouldn't own guns regardless

His parents should be held accountable, especially if they bought the gun for him

I don't care if his life is ruined. Strange seeing so many people have sympathy for this

Good thing he's not a terrorist, and has no political or ideological views
