In Michigan apparently there is no law requiring keeping a gun secured in that manner. Probably a small percentage of gun owners own a safe. Most assume a gun lock is sufficient. The other examples you gave, while providing an extra obstacle or two won’t prevent someone who is really intent on...

That’s a interesting take on it. How about a little professionalism and competency from a public servant? The Sheriff said in his 21 years as one that he never seen a prosecutor announce charges without notifying him so that they could have the person(s) in custody. Her statement was that the...

I’ll respond later to some of these comments, but just throwing this out here. What is you’all definition of free access to a weapon? Or not having free access to a weapon?

Yes the prosecutor should have communicated better with the chief law enforcement officer in the county, but instead sprung a surprise press conference without them already in custody or knowing definitively that law enforcement knew where they were...

The Prosecutor could have made it easier in a tense environment. Not answering the phone didn’t help bring in two people that were charged. Also, she didn’t deny that they tried to communicate with her. Kind of goes against the narrative that they weren’t intending to turn themselves in.

Certainly people are upset. Downtown Detroit is a little safer than the outer areas of the city FYI.

They are disputing that they didn’t secure it. The facts will determine the manner in which they did or didn’t. Apparently in Michigan there isn’t a law that requires to do so. That is why they are charged with something else that may not fit the current statute in Michigan. It will come down to...

Yes, away from the area where most likely potential harm.

They may have decided staying at their home and being swarmed by press and potential threats against them was untenable. So needed money to stay somewhere in the meantime. It was a surprise press conference where the sheriff didn’t even get notified in advance. The distance from the court house...

If you’re going to report and suspend all the kids for the things they doodle or search on their phone there won’t be enough left to teach in a classroom.

The parents bought the gun, but doubt it was for the purpose he used it for.

It’s five hundred thousand each. But yes it is a lot. The Prosecutor believes they are because they didn’t immediately go and turn themselves in. Again though they may have feared for their safety because tensions are high. I think I read they tried to contact the prosecutor but she didn’t...

Maybe so. Certainly looks ominous considering what we know now and what happened. But kids probably draw a lot of weird stuff. And also look up all kinds of crap on their phones too. Are they suspended for that?

The kid didn’t have much of a history of being a trouble maker at the school.

Why did they take out 4 k and hide in a acquaintances building? Could it be that staying in their own house would be unsafe considering the anger at them for what their son did? It was also a surprise press conference by the local prosecutor. So much so that the county sheriff was not privy that...

One of the articles you provided mentioned they were disputing the claim the kid had free access to the weapon and that it was locked.

Not sure they were fleeing apprehension. They may have been in hiding from threats and wanted to secure a safe passage with their lawyers to turn themselves in.

Agree. He will have to can the idea of going to college in person and as well as living in heavily populated area. Deep six the notion of working in a high profile job like a nurse at a hospital. He should change his name and alter his appearance. While his lawyers are working on his monetary...

I think the mitigating factor in all of this that i support is self defense from great bodily harm or worse. And he didn’t use it until the last moment too after running away from multiple confrontations.

This story to me was always about whether it was self defense and also why charges were brought against him in the first place. The former: overwhelming evidence through witness accounts and video that it was self defense. The latter: pure woke politics to appease the mob. Their attempt to...
