The father of the mass shooting suspect accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student, is accused of killing two students and two teachers with an AR-style rifle in the Wednesday shooting. Nine more people were hospitalized.

One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present.

    I don’t see where it’s relevant to that comment. It seems so “A HUMAN HEAD WEIGHS EIGHT POUNDS” in timing.

      Yes, so irrelevant to identify various forms of sexual abuse in a comment that says it wasn’t reported. Thanks so much for pointing that out.

        Yes, it’s completely irrelevant when:

        It wasn’t reported

        And your previous comment:

        I bet…

        It’s fucking weird.

        And your use of non-consentual non-monogamy instead of saying, you know, cheating.

        People know what sexual abuse is, we don’t need your weird attempt at clarification.

          One thing I’ve noticed is people seldom attack solid points unless they feel threatened by them. In a society that is still highly patriarchal and hierarchical, I think it’s especially relevant to define sexual abuse, especially where the law doesn’t yet recognize it. For hundreds of years, corporal punishment wasn’t legally abuse, either. And I did say cheating, that you didn’t like the specific terminology is your prerogative, as is your disagreement.

          Thanks for sharing, enjoy your day/night.

                Are you writing an academic paper?

                There was no report or sexual abuse, it’s fucking weird you keep talking about it.

                  Thank you!

                  ETA: I’m honored to be weird in that I take the time and trouble to educate people who may be being abused, rather than the the kind of weird that’s so heavily invested in down voting an educational comment that less abuse victims would see it. The last kind of weird is the kind of weird that reminds me of, “they let you do it!” And “binders of women!” The kind of weird that suggests someone is uncomfortable with these kinds of abuse being highlighted.
