Ethan Crumbley apologized before the sentencing for the 2021 high school shooting as parents still in jail on related charges
A judge sentenced a Michigan teenager to life in prison on Friday for killing four students and terrorizing others at Oxford high school in 2021, after listening to hours of gripping anguish from parents and wounded survivors.
Judge Kwame Rowe rejected pleas from defense lawyers for a shorter sentence and ensured that Ethan Crumbley, 17, will not get an opportunity for parole.
Moments before learning his fate, the teen apologized and appeared to agree with his victims that the stiffest punishment was appropriate.
Fuck his parents. They had ample signs that he needed mental help. Instead of doing that, they bought him a gun. Now that he has the bare minimum of mental health services, he is regretful.
Mental help can only go so far. Some people are beyond help and will treat any program with derision.
Try attending any program for troubled kids and you’ll see what I mean.
In order for us to find out if someone’s actually beyond help or not, we should probably try to help them first. That never happened. We can’t just assume people can’t be helped if we never tried.
It’s almost laughable that you say that in a thread where someone who didn’t get help and shot up a school is showing remorse once they got help. What is your point exactly?
What is your point exactly?
That even if some people are beyond help, there is no evidence that this person is.
I totally agree, but I asked him.
I answered for them, because it’s quite obvious what their intent was.
Oh, I just thought he could speak for himself.
