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.

"Who could have seen this coming?" -the father probably

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 40 points 11 months ago

I bet physical and/or verbal abuse was abundant in that household, probably spousal abuse as well, up to and including sexual and financial.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 43 points 11 months ago

No sexual abuse reported, but everything else, yeah.

More red flags than a May Day Parade, like usual.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 11 points 11 months ago

People don't agree with what I'm going to say, but nonconsensual *nonmonogamous sexual relationships are physically and emotionally abusive. Physically because they potentially expose the non-consenting to disease, and death by disease. Emotionally and actually financially, because of gaslighting, withholding, gaslighting. And even with laws on the books, all abuse is underreported, and then when it is, there's the victim blaming mentality, from report to trial, if it makes it that far. *Autocorrect

The comment to which I responded.

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Are you saying sexual abuse (as you define in your comment) WAS reported? I’m confused why you’re defining it here.

Sorry. That was my original comment, I thought you saw it. Under reported. Abuse is underreported. I'm not saying it happened or didn't, but as the person to whom I was replying noted, s bunch of other red flags were prevalent. Sometimes, for those intentionally or intentionally unaware, red flags simply don't register; especially in heavily patriarchal Bible Belt cultures in the USA. Even in France, where that old man brought in 51 men to sexually abuse his wife, because he said, "she's my wife, I do with her as I please."

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Ok, it sounded like you were saying you had some additional information that there was sexual abuse (like he was a known cheater or something). You’re just saying it’s possible even if it was not reported. Fair enough, the guy sounds absolutely wretched and probably doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 10 months ago

He deserves due process. It's up to the victims and legal people, from enforcement to prosecution to the court, whether or not he gets it.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

So you are making wild accusations with no proof?

I bet Mave has cp and likes touching kids.

See how ridiculous that looks and sounds?

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

And what proof do you have of this? If you have any sources please link them.

Cheating is sexual abuse. Anything that does not include noncorerced consent is sexual abuse. It is the partner's emotional, physical health and life at risk.

https://www.verywellhealth.com/signs-of-domestic-abuse-5209419 notice the wheel.

It's passive aggressive and it is abusive. If that triggers a cheater, perhaps they should seek a therapist.

I am a survivor and thriver after child abuse and domestic abuse. It was once legal to beat wives as long as the stick wasn't bigger around than a thumb. It was abusive. It is legal to emotionally abuse people. It is abusive. Spousal rape was once legal. It is abusive. Owning other humans was once legal. It is abusive.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

So you actually have zero proof that the guy in this article is an abuser?

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 10 months ago

What? Please copy and paste where I said that. "I bet". I also didn't say "guy," .I thought you were asking for proof of what I said to Jordanlund, since those with problems were you know, relying to that specific comment. I saw the comment users replied to. Nothing more and nothing less.

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

You appear to have accidentally responded to a different thread of comments. I mean this genuinely and not sarcastically.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks so much for telling me! That's weird, because when I clicked the reply, I responded in the thread I was shown. I wonder if this is some weird update issue with my device or whatever. Maybe it would behoove all of us to assume good faith, even where malice or obstinacy seems obvious.

Thanks again.
