#NBCNews #Teacher #Shooting
Ban all Rap music and violent video games. Young children are exposed to that crap at very young age. Turn on your television and almost every channel you click on you’ll see a movie or program show that shows someone chasing another with a firearm or knife. Way too much violence and hate towards one another. Hey has anyone seen or heard anything about Hillary, obama , hunter, they must be skeered & in hiding somewhere in china. Cause they know Joe’s walls are closing in on him. He sold classified documents to china & russia, north korea, IMPEACHMENT MUST HAPPEN TOMORROW. AMERICA IS DESTROYED AND DOOMED !!!!!! 😩
Where is this six year old kid now?Do the parents still have it,I mean him,and is he still in school somewhere?,God forbid.
News later this week be like
*Deja Taylor seized at the Mexican border*
It’s about time
Glad the mother finally got charged but jeez why so long.
You know why. It’s the same reason the school refused to deal with the sociopath before he shot the teacher!
I liked Abby better with blond hair vs the red hair!
It isn’t the mother that is of concern, glad she is being dealt with, but I am wondering about this kid…. And after looking up the photo of the Mother…. A certain Deja Taylor, if the Instagram photo is her, it becomes clear….. Folks, looks like little Kunta Taylor or whatever his name is just graduated kindergarten and will be continuing his education…..
Unbeweaveable!
The child was probably conceived during a romantic evening of twerking and 40s of malt liquor in brown paper bags.
2023 USA 17 school shootings in 3 months. 1996 UK 1 in 27 years. 1923 New Zealand 1 in 100 years.
Should Americans be banned from international travel to restrict the spread of stupidity and gun violence?
46 Ukrainians are killed each day in Putin’s senseless war. 44 Americans are killed each day by other Americans in no war.
Those other countries don’t have Democrats. If we had no Democrats, we’d have no school shootings.
Simple. Pay the teacher well. Try to keep the mother of the shooter out of jail but with consequences.
And? That’s how it should be…
Where’s the picture of the mother?
Pictures are racist.
And charge the father also for abandoning his son and not being involved with his life
The “mother” probably doesn’t even know who he is.
If these parents of unruly children start going to jail and having to pay for their bad children maybe we could save some lives
What took so long
Why did it take 3 months?
The same reason Trump hasn’t been indicted for the insurrection 27 months ago?
Is the US justice system broken?
Democrats founded the KKK and you support them.
$40 million; really???
Charge the father as well for not being in that kids life, he’s at fault to
What if the father is already in jail or dead?
It would’ve been racist if the mother was black and she would be charged and not a white person!!!
FINALLY!
LoL wtf…Fiction is actually cool again, reality is just a fantasy of one violent event after another.
6 year old modern rapper.
Whats his rapper nam3?
Put the kid in jail he’s definitely a Bad Apple he will do it again wake up people. Isn’t the black community just wonderful
Absolutely, these irresponsible parents fornicate left and right, pump-out illegitimate kids, abuse them, and or neglect them to where they are a danger to the rest of us for the rest of their life.
Exactly. And the taxpayers pay for it to the tune of over a TRILLION dollars a year in welfare dollars.
Why no photos of the mom?
Photos are racist.
When you look at the cases of all of these Mass murderers, they all had warning signs that were neglected by school administrators, law enforcement, parents, Etc, which all should be held responsible.
I just hope this kid gets the help he needs 6 years old is super young and not too late
The single greatest warning sign, is a fatherless Democrat home led by an angry unwed welfare hippo.
⚫s commit the most M Shootings
What’s interesting is the Rumor Mill says that she was molesting him
_In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you._ ―Gautama Buddha
This boy was raised a bully, to use force and violence when he doesn’t get what he wants. Love and kindness begin at home.
*_Without love and sense of humor there is unhappiness and life is meaningless._* 💕☮🌎🌌
He was probably a ‘real nice boy,’ who ‘couldnt hurt nobody.’ Since they didn’t show him, we know he’s black.
The kid was black wasn’t he?
The child comes from a long line of fatherless Democrats. You do the math.
Finally!
Always the parents who “can’t provide their kids with pencils” wearing 10″ nails and 20 ft wigs, driving the dopemans cadillac, eating mcdonalds 5 times a day…
Suing for 40 million. What a joke. She’s as bad ad the negligent parent! Always about the money. Greedy pig face.
40 mill? Come on lady
About time!
She should also be charged with the shooting! Gun owners need to start being held accountable for failing to properly secure their firearm(s). This is the first, obvious step, on how to start reducing gun crimes..
Guns don’t commit crimes. PEOPLE commit crimes. And the way to reduce crimes, is through better parenting.
@Gurn Blanston duh!! Kids are not the ones doing most of the killings, they are getting killed. Teenagers and up are doing the killings, parenting will not help them…
@Los Kauz Parenting is supposed to occur BEFORE the child develops deviant behaviors, not after.
@Gurn Blanston you are so clueless…most people are barely intelligent enough to breath and you expect them to properly parent any age of child? Not happening, look around, DUH!! Parenting will not stop ANY age person with criminal intent. Think before you comment, it isn’t hard..
Who would ever think that a six year old would have the knowledge of how to use a gun? Regardless, aIl, adult, gun
owners should be held responsible for securing a sidearm in the proper fashion.
You’re focusing on the wrong thing- all parents should be held responsible for the ACTIONS of their children.
Finally, prosecute these right wing terrorists. Also teacher is such gold digger for suing the school. It was the right wing terrorists who shot her but she sues school instead.
The fatherless Democrat is not a “right wing terrorist”.
Lock them both up😂. No sense in wasting money on a trial to convict only one person in a crime with multiple suspects.
She deserves more than that
6 year olds have been under attack. With all credit going to KJP for this statement’s inspiration
As sad as any teacher getting shot is…ARM THE SCHOOLS WITH ARMED GUARDS.
Sueing the school district will only cause the district to have less money to fund in the future events of protection. I have yet known a 1st grade teacher who has made a fortune in the millions other then working at night clubs and working in the adult industries. However, this child and parent should be held accountable for their actions and not dismissed.
It’s about sending a message to every other school district. Don’t continue to be stupid or you too might get sued.
40 million?! How did she come up with that number?.
The lawyers. They will be getting 30-40% of any damage award.
Excellent! Totally warranted. More accountability such as this will save lives.
I hope it becomes a trend in these type cases.
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
Good luck if this kid makes it to his teenage years.
Homeschool your children
Delysid is the answer. Kid tested, Mother approved! 👍
Forget licencing guns. There should be a licencing system for having children worldwide.
What kind of gun, a bbgun. A 22 pistol? I doubt the teacher would be giving a interview if she was gunshot.
It was a cheap 9mm Taurus semiautomatic pistol.
Teachers are so entitled 40 million. She just wants money, and in typical t. Wat fashion she’s tryin to get money without working for it
You know enough guns could stop gun violence, more violence should do it. You think?
“There’s no way the parent can be held responsible when it’s the GUN that did it.” -some democrat
I agree, children that commit acts of violence were clearly neglected by the parents….the children learn this through direct observation, from the parents and/or the internet, when kids are ignored they find something, anything to learn from, idle minds,as they say……..
Notice they won’t show the mother of the kid getting charges, here’s a hint, she’s not white.
Usual suspects are barely outta diapers and are already a problem, who knew????
They always are. As a police officer, I’ve walked into their welfare housing units and experienced toddlers barely old enough to walk, stumbling towards me and flailing their little arms at my knees, just because they’ve been trained to hate. There is a generational culture of failure that is passed down from one fatherless Democrat to the next.
Finally, they listen!
I don’t think red neck elementary school has 40 million dollars.
She should be charged and the administrators were neglegent. All I want to know is when the mother if the young girls who R Kelly was messing with is going to be charged with giving her teenage daughter over to a grown man to marry?
i hope she sues the media for using her picture above the caption, this is media irresponsibility!!!
Good
What made this six year old hate his teacher so much that he wanted her dead
I would like to hear that child’s side also
This is very disturbing to me
Something was going on with this child and his teacher
Seek competent professional mental health care.
The same child tried to strangle another teacher and sexually assaulted another child, clearly the teacher wasn’t the problem.
One of the dumbest comments ever.
Good. Many parents/”responsible gun owners” need to stop being negligent morons with their legally purchased weapons. School staff needs to also stop being negligent morons.
They need to stop being negligent morons with their illegitimate spawn.
Won’t show her face cause she’s black.
Finally.
sending Thoughts and Prayers in advance to everyone lives in a G.un In.fested count three..
its only a matter of when gonna be your turn…
You suffer from hoplophobia.
Bruh she wants 40 million dollars 😂
We need more of this to stop inner-city crime. Enough of this crap.
There is nothing unique about this situation. Any responsible gun owner gave access to a gun to a child through negligence or intent. Kyle Rittenhouse’s mother should be in jail. There are several School shooters whose parents should be in jail. But making someone accountable for being a responsible gun owner just doesn’t seem to hold water in this country because can you imagine?
So Kyles mom should be arrested for him defending himself? Would you have rather Kyle had his bashed in? Because I’m assuming you’ve never seen the damage that a truckslap, especially to the temple, can do to a person… not to mention the witnesses and “victim” in said trial are the reason he got the ruling he got.
This is not about responsible gun ownership, this is about irresponsible parenting of the child.
The United States is a free country. We only put people in jail that commit crimes. If you want to live somewhere that it’s okay to imprison people just because they’re not liked by a certain fanatical segment of society, maybe yoy should move to North Korea.
Even 6 year olds doing drills 🤷
It’s so telling how they’re not saying who the alleged mom is
She has been named in other sources. She’s a typical fatherless Democrat.
Too bad the Good Citizens of the Isle of Wright County will have to pay for the lawsuit from Abby Zwerner.
Love america get your money lol
Kid’s a hero trying to protect their mind
40m is completely absurd
I’m so happy she survived this. But did they ever show the child who did it? Or did I miss that?
Can’t show minors, it’s illegal.
Where’s the FATHER?
WHO……. Is the FATHER?
WHO KNOWS?
Finally not blaming the gun?
Great job dude @Maskoffaid I received my transfer without any problem I really appreciate your work I will hit you up soon for more business
I agree with the parents being helped responsible for leaving the gun in an obviously unsecured location. At the same time, the child has had repeated violent disturbing outbursts and should be removed from their care and placed in a secured mental health facility with professionals trained to deal with the mental health and behavioral problems he is exhibiting.
This is not about what a parent did with a gun, this is about what a parent DIDN’T do with their responsibility for their child.
🌬📢💨 Will ALL sch👀l
sh👀ter’s MOTHERS be charged
with NEGLECT?
As it should be!! Isn’t it funny how some people in society get to turn themselves in on their own time, while others are immediately arrested no matter what it takes. But what? We’re pretending that there’s still isn’t a two-tier justice system, I guess? Give me a break!! This country is turning into a joke! We are the laughing stock of the entire world at this point!!
Charge both, cuz he’s gonna do it again later in life. And the school is also responsible cuz they also knew he had issues and needed supervision and chaperon everyday,. That day he was left alone
WHO or WHAT makes a little child so violent? (The parents!) WHY is the media not showing a single picture of the parents? Why did the child get a gun from his parents but did not get any mental help or medication? These parents need to be investigated for abuse and this kid needs mental help before he kills more people or himself.
Look up the Instagram of the “mother”. It’s obvious that raising her child was the LAST thing on her mind.
@Gurn Blanston the only pic is of a woman living in Cincinnati with the same name.
I wonder how many violent video games that little boy is been playing
Car payments, student loans, home mortgages… all of those things take more than 6 years. You managed to raise and weaponize a monster.
If the teacher had a gun this wouldn’t have happened, just sayin
GOOD!!
Only got yourselves to blame for having such stupid and ridiculous gun “laws”
Yes they will hold black parents responsible, not white ones.
About time
Its about time Throw that parent in jail!!!
Freedom of shooting someone you hate
She Wishes She Had Hidden That HandGun in a Better “LockBox” Now!🤔
Fair enough. Justice is served for that teacher. The mom was indeed accountable.
The ghetto mom the ghetto monster kid and one of her many ghetto baby’s daddy should all get the death penalty!!
If she were a better teacher she wouldn’t have got shot 🤷♂️
All we got was the name of the boys Mother. Why no pictures ?
The kid is a danger to society and cannot be redeemable.
