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.

    No sexual abuse reported, but everything else, yeah.

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

      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

                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.

        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.”

                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.

                  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.

                    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?
