“I Protest”

September 10, 2024

The recent school shooting in Georgia was a strange one. We are told that the alleged shooter, Colt Gray, came from a family of deplorable MAGA supporters. And yet, we are also told that he was bullied constantly for being gay, and was in fact in the process of “transforming” into a kinder and gentler gender of his choice.

Not surprisingly, the state controlled media is largely ignoring the fact that the shooter was a transgender. As always, the inanimate object is the real culprit, and we’ve heard the predictable demands that “something be done” about guns. Colt Gray supposedly made threats to shoot up Apalachee High School less than a year ago, and police “investigated” in their customary inimitable style. Despite this, Colin Gray, Colt’s father, bought him an AR-style rifle for Christmas. This has become the real point of contention, and is drawing more coverage than the shooting itself. How could any parent be so irresponsible? He’s a child– he has no business owning a gun! Well, Colin Gray has now been charged with second degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and cruelty to children. He could face 180 years in prison.Best Price: $28.84Buy New $49.94(as of 03:15 UTC – Details)

Earlier this year, our horrific injustice system set yet another unfortunate precedent, when the mother and father of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley were both sentenced to 10-15 years in prison. Lynn and James Crumbley committed no crime themselves. They were instead punished very harshly for the actions of their son. As in the Gray case, the parents were said to be “gun nuts,” and lambasted for granting their son “unfettered access” to them. I had a real problem with the Crumbleys being prosecuted. I have a real problem with Colin Gray being prosecuted. First of all, it’s wrong for any one else to be punished for the crimes of another, even the closest of family members. Secondly, there is obviously a very subjective process going on here. Plenty of minors commit violent crimes.

This is, in fact, yet another form of lawfare. In both cases, the parents were portrayed as “right-wing extremists,” and proud gun owners. In the Gray case, it could be far more logically argued that the whole transgender lunacy was responsible. Colt Gray was obviously confused, perhaps injected with hormones, which caused him to lash out at the continuous bullying he experienced. But as I showed in my book Bullyocracy, our society never wants to examine the influence bullying has had on virtually all the school shooters, any more then they want to note how all of them were on psychotropic drugs. That isn’t allowed, because it would cast the sanctified LGBTQ+ agenda in a negative light. Imagining suggesting that the doctor who was assisting him in “transitioning” be prosecuted. Or the TikTok teacher who first asked him if he wanted to change his “pronouns.”

Again, my extensive research into bullying cases revealed how difficult it is to get students who literally bully other kids to death even suspended from school, let alone prosecuted. Obviously, it would be laughable to suggest that the parent of a child who torments a classmate to such an extent that they take their own life, should ever be held accountable in any way whatsoever. I know there are some really bad parents, but very few want their children to harm others, let alone kill them, or cause them to commit suicide. Maybe we should have laws against subpar parenting. Should they be punished if their children get bad grades? How about those “snowflakes” we hear so much about, living in their parents’ basement? Should the parents be punished for that? Or should the adult children be punished for failure to leave the nest? Perhaps punish both parents and children. We can always build more prisons.

I’m quite confident that the number of minors that commit acts of violence, and have parents who are Trump supporters, is a tiny fraction of, say all those Black youths who murder others, that come from wildly dysfunctional homes led by single mothers. Why haven’t any of those single mothers ever been prosecuted for the reprehensible crimes of her offspring? I think it can be easily demonstrated that a mother working full time, with very little education, and often a drug abuser herself, is an even worse parent that Colin Gray or the Crumbleys were. We know why such a mother would never be prosecuted, even if it could be shown she was smoking crack while pregnant, or had offered drugs to the child. Black parents, especially single mothers, are never going to be demonized in our crumbling country. They spent too much time and effort destroying the Black nuclear family for that. No, let’s focus on White “gun nuts.”Kelly, BenjaminBest Price: $5.54Buy New $10.89(as of 12:44 UTC – Details)

There is a famous precedent for convicting an individual for the crimes of others. Charles Manson wasn’t even at the scene of the Tate or LaBianca murders. In the public mind, this figure with the crazed, stereotypical hippie look murdered Sharon Tate and the others himself. The names of Susan Atkins and Tex Watson should be in the pantheon of savage mass killers, not Manson. They’re the ones who kept stabbing the victims repeatedly. I know, if Miles Mathis is reading this, the entire thing was fake- no one died. I don’t discount anything, but assuming someone really killed the Tates and the LaBiancas, it wasn’t Charles Manson. Something is very wrong about blaming an alleged Svengali, by claiming he “controlled” the actual criminals. It’s a wonder that more murderers don’t use this defense. Just find some guy that looks the part, like Manson, and claim, “He made me do it!”

The Bible reminds us: “Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents.” I think the same can be said for being sentenced to prison. It is this kind of mentality that has most Black people expecting financial reparations. For things that happened long before they were born. And alleged actions perpetrated by those long dead, by a very small percentage of wealthy plantation owners. Is prosecuting parents for things their children did any more or less ridiculous than that? I was a fat kid. Actually obese. I was called names. Can I get reparations for that? I’m a sensitive guy. If those kids’ parents are still alive, they should pay, too. After all, they raised their children to be insensitive to others. Why not let “marginalized” unpopular kids sue those who don’t invite them to parties. And their parents. It’s all part of the same school of thought.
