Oxford High School shooting
Excellent reporting from all of the Detroit stations here.
Such a horrific incident.
Oh, and anyone who makes this political is a butthole.

Re: Oxford High School shooting
I've just unfriended about a dozen people on Facebook. Why? Because of their zeal to jump to politicizing this horrific tragedy.
"This is Biden's America now."
"Another reason to pull your kids out of public schools."
"All teachers should be armed."
"But I thought schools were gun-free zones."
There's no good reason for any of these comments now. Sure, I'm all for debating policy, but people lost their kids today. Others are at hospitals hoping to stay alive. Let's pull together rather than apart.

Bravo for Gov. Whitmer’s fast and appropriate response. She spoke as a mother, not a politician, and did not politicize this tragedy. Well done.

Re: Oxford High School shooting
The school and law enforcement are downplaying any social media clues, threats, etc., and I think they have to.
With the revelation that school officials met with the shooter and his parents not once, but twice in the same week as the shooting happened, including the day it happened, it will be difficult for the school and/or law enforcement to avoid being sued and having to issue a H*** payout to the remaining victims and their families.

Re: Oxford High School shooting
I have withheld making comments about the specifics, and now that more information is coming out, I need to say something.
These Oxford public school officials are some of the most incompetent and weak “professionals” I have ever read about.
The kid is looking up ammunition in class, drawing violent pictures of people being shot and bleeding, wrote comments of despair like “My life is useless.” And “The world is dead.” “The thoughts won’t stop. Help me.”
And the “smart people” in his life did a grand total of…nothing.
This is why people don’t report suspicious activity. When they do, nothing happens, so why bother?
Every family who sends their kid to Oxford Schools should sue the school district. They will win. School leaders did not take necessary actions to keep kids safe.

Yep, the parents took off. Why didn’t the police actually have them in custody prior to announcing charges?Mr.Transistor wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 3:24 pm If the parents have checked out either on the run or via their own self doing than they are bigger dirtbags than I ever imagined.
To call these school officials and cops a clown show would be insulting to clowns.
The Three Stooges and Barney Fife would have been more successful.

Re: Oxford High School shooting
Seriously, the level of incompetence justifies the following video that illustrates this case from beginning until now.
https://youtu.be/DMCLrbSSi7k
Clueless cops, stupid school officials, a jumpy prosecutor, and an ignorant family that made them all look like fools.

Now the sheriff’s office and prosecutor’s office are feuding.
This is such a cluster.

Re: Oxford High School shooting
I do have a concern.
If the highly emotional prosecutor's office gets too excited about charging people, and charges teachers, it will make it really difficult to retain good teachers and attract new ones.
Please understand that I'm not saying that those responsible for this tragedy should walk, but if we go down the road of "well, this person could have done something" and charge them, it would make the teaching profession like walking on egg shells 24/7.
Thankfully, in this case, it looks like the teachers did everything right. It's the overcompensated, incompetent superintendent that should face the brunt of charges.

Re: Oxford High School shooting
I'm so glad Oxford laid the smackdown on the attorney general's offer for an investigation. That drunk hillbilly hack can go suck eggs. Guess she already does.
Updated: Looks like the Otis Campbell of Lansing is forcing her investigation into Oxford. That'll make the locals happy.

Re: Oxford High School shooting
Unfortunately, the district (which means the taxpayers), not the individuals responsible, will have to pay the bill.
However, I do hope they lose their jobs, any pensions, and spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Ethan Crumbley will use the insanity defense, bet the school officials will too.
