Not Just Him!

The shooter is under 18. But the charges are serious enough for the Barrow County, Georgia's sheriff's office to release. He will be charged as an adult.

Blame Game: Colt Gray!

Apalachee High School, two weeks into the school year.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Brian Kemp, former president Donald J. Trump, Tim Walz, J.D. Vance, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and the members of the U.S. House from Georgia offer the usual song and dance.

"Thoughts and prayers", "our hearts are with" and the usual "need to come together" rhetoric will be said. 

A man made tragedy that needs to be solved. Unfortunately, the lawmakers are scared to stand up to the gun lobby, the Israeli lobby and the billionaire class.

Seeing it's a white shooter, the terrorist was taken into custody without any firearms fired from both sides.

The Georgia school shooter and his father will be criminally charged with murder.

The 14-year old mass shooter will be charged as an adult and is expected to face a judge this week. Both were charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, having bought the alleged murder weapon as a gift for his son.

Colt Gray and his father Colin, 54 will be held on a $5 million get out free card each.

U.S. lawmaker, insufferable Mike Collins is an election denier, gun enthusiast and the idiot who offered thoughts and prayers to the constituents who died in his district. The mass shooting at Apalachee High School.

Both face LIFE in the iron college without the possibility of parole. The usual case for an adult is DEATH if convicted. An underage is often given the choice of LIFE once they reach 17 years old. The complicity charges for others is the "ignoring the warning signs", "failing to report a crime", "purchasing or granting access to the murder weapon or instrument" and "refusing to properly lock up or store firearms" which the accomplice gets.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

"These charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son, Colt, to possess a weapon," said GBI Director Chris Hosey said during an 8 p.m. press conference Thursday.

Hosey would not go into the evidence collected against either father or son, but added that the arrest was made when there was enough probable cause to do so. The ATF and GBI were at the Gray home within an hour after Colt Gray was taken into custody. Investigators spent the day combing over the house for evidence linked to the shooting. 

He was booked into the Barrow County Jail.

Students were evacuated from the building to the school's football field, after it had been deemed safe.

 Richard Aspenwall, Christina Irimie Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo.

The dead were identified as two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Winder, about an hour’s drive from Atlanta. Killed were two other 14-year-olds, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and instructors Richard Aspenwall and Christina Irimie, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said in a nighttime news conference.

Officials also revealed that all nine people injured in the shooting are expected to recover. Two of those who were shot were teachers and the rest were students. Several of them still remain in the hospital.

Authorities reminded students to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious.

Reporting revealed that in May 2023, local law enforcement, in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had visited Gray and his family to investigate school shooting threats posted online. The agencies confirmed that the subject of that investigation was a then 13-year old Gray, but probable cause for an arrest did not exist.

U.S. Attorney General, Merrick Garland, said that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on the scene. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Atlanta office confirmed that its agents were on scene. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is also involved in the investigation.

Gray had allegedly made earlier threats on Discord; the username was said by the FBI to have included the last name of Adam Lanza, the perpetrator of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Kemp tweeted his condolences and asked for all Georgians to join in praying for the safety of students in classrooms. Andre Dickens, mayor of Atlanta, offered his thoughts and prayers to those affected as well as support to responding law enforcement. Georgia U.S. Representative Mike Collins, whose congressional district includes the school, issued a statement offering prayers for the victims and their families. Collins' response was met with criticism from gun control advocates, with some accusing Collins of endorsing gun violence; a 2022 campaign ad from Collins' Twitter resurfaced[by whom?], featuring Collins with an assault rifle as he accused Biden of stealing the 2020 US Presidential election and threatened to go to Washington, D.C. to "blow up the Democrats’ cover up".

Marjorie Taylor Greene, another U.S. Representative from Georgia, also issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter) offering support to the victims and families. 

Like Collins, Greene had faced criticism for campaign ads involving guns, as well as promoting baseless statements about previous shootings, such as the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, which she falsely claimed was a false flag act to promote anti-gun laws.

To all the Black firearm owners who support the Second Amendment or former president Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race, I just want to say...

"YOU'RE GONNA BE SHOT BY POLICE TOO!"

The National Rifle Association never reacts to lawful exercise of firearm use when a Black, Hispanic, Arab, Muslim, Indigenous, LGBTQ or underage teen of color is carrying them.

It is automatic dehumanizing from the far right, police unions and the junk food media.

The father of the shooter is charged too.

When white men, women or even some Asians are carrying firearms, the NRA is often parading them around like they're heroes and protectors of freedom. Republican lawmakers are often the idiots who pose with firearms or have their children with them.

Thinking they're tough but in reality, they weaklings who can't fight or take discretion in proper use of a firearm.

In about 45 states, I believe it is lawful for you to walk down a street with a firearm.

If you're a Black man walking down the street with a firearm, the random 911 call or the visual spotting from a police officer merits an automatic drawl of a service weapon.

Police officers within seconds are either shooting or premeditated an excuse to use force.

The unions back up their claims of "fearing for their lives" despite the perpetrator not even firing a round. Given that the junk food media loves to paint the aggressor as the victim, the police officer is given the benefit of doubt. The person police shot usually do not get any ounce of doubt. A mugshot of a suspect or a picture of a person posing with money or firearms automatically draws far right conclusions to justification of force.

Even fleeing from police with a firearm and not even pointing at them results in police shootings. 

If a person does survive, the state still charges the person for a crime despite the state allowing open carry and lawful possession.

So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

Insufferable Marjorie Taylor Greene once again poses with a firearm.

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. 

The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence as well.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
