Summary
Late Tuesday morning, March 3, the news broke that Georgia resident Colin Gray — the father of school shooter Colt Gray — had been convicted on murder and manslaughter churches.According to CNN reporters Eric Levenson and Maxime Tamsett, the case is "testing the limits of who is responsible for a mass shooting.""The jury deliberated for less than two hours before convicting him on all 27 charges: two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of involuntary manslaughter, 18 counts of cruelty to children and five counts of reckless conduct," the CNN reporters explain. "At the defense table, Colin Gray did not visibly react to the verdict. He was taken from the courtroom in handcuffs. He faces 10 to 30 years in prison on each murder charge and 1 to 10 years on each manslaughter charge."Levenson and Tamsett add, "Prosecutors accused Gray of buying his son an AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas present and allowing him access to that weapon and ammunition despite warnings that his son was a danger to others. Colt Gray, then 14, used that rifle to carry out a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on September 4, 2024, killing two teachers and two students and wounding nine others." The verdict is generating a lot of comments on X, formerly Twitter — including some angry comments from MAGA Republicans and others on the right.The Pod Millennial's Libby Emmons, described as a "feminist who was purged by the trans left" by The American Conservative (which she has written for), tweeted, "What I don't get is why this happens with school shooters' parents but not the parents of gang banger teens. BREAKING: Father of Apalachee school shooter found guilty second-degree murder after son killed 2 students, 2 teachers." In response to Emmons' tweet, fundamentalist Christian Connie McKay posted, "Just my opinion but the same question should be asked about lenient judges. Why aren't they being charged for atrocities occurring after their soft sentences?"X user Rebecca Wallace wrote, "What? Why? What did he do? You keep saying what the son did. Did he help? Poorest report ever." Another X user, Julie Boudicca posted, "Those are insane convictions for someone who neither plotted to nor killed anyone."
