- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, do
- 0:02Speaker 1: you think the dad of the Georgia school shooter should
- 0:05Speaker 1: be charged with murder?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask are American mamas Alma, ma, God.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Y'all sing it along to your own song? Jony is
- 0:25Speaker 3: now in studio American ground.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Radio mama's are American mama's Terry Nedeville and Kimberly Burlison. Okay,
- 0:32Speaker 1: the Georgie's shooting. You know, there's a lot of aspects
- 0:36Speaker 1: of this that I don't think have been talked about enough. Obviously,
- 0:40Speaker 1: you know, a tragedy school shooting, people go into those
- 0:42Speaker 1: same memes, those same types of things of you know,
- 0:45Speaker 1: the old gotta have gun control, common sense gun control legislation.
- 0:49Speaker 1: But I think one of the things that's kind of
- 0:50Speaker 1: interesting about this is that the dad has been arrested
- 0:52Speaker 1: and he has been charged with murder.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Is that the right decision? Is that the wrong decision?
- 0:58Speaker 2: Well?
- 0:58Speaker 4: Have you been watching a little bit more about the dad.
- 1:01Speaker 4: When I first saw that he was he got convicted,
- 1:03Speaker 4: I was like, that is not right.
- 1:05Speaker 3: He be convicted.
- 1:07Speaker 4: He's been arrested, Well, yes, yeah, and they want to
- 1:10Speaker 4: give him life in prison. And at first I felt
- 1:12Speaker 4: sorry for him, because you know, sometimes you have kids
- 1:15Speaker 4: with mental illness. But now that there's more in it,
- 1:18Speaker 4: we're realizing this dad knew this might have been red.
- 1:22Speaker 4: It was twenty twenty three that there's a video of
- 1:25Speaker 4: police going to his home. They're actually talking to the boy, Colt,
- 1:29Speaker 4: and his dad, and he had already said he was
- 1:32Speaker 4: going to do this a year ago, and the dad
- 1:35Speaker 4: saying he's going to be in trouble, that he'd better
- 1:37Speaker 4: not be saying that, and then buys them a gun.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Three months later, he.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Told the police officers he didn't have asked the son
- 1:44Speaker 1: had there were guns in the house, but the son
- 1:46Speaker 1: did not have access to the guns. He then went
- 1:49Speaker 1: and bought the son a gun that he had access to.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't know how much y'all have read,
- 1:55Speaker 5: but there is apparently domestic violence this kid not on
- 2:00Speaker 5: has the kid had issues. But the mom was arrested
- 2:02Speaker 5: several times. She left the father and colts and took
- 2:07Speaker 5: the other two to two hundred miles away. And so
- 2:12Speaker 5: my first thought was, why'd you leave one behind if
- 2:14Speaker 5: you felt like that you were being abused and neglected?
- 2:17Speaker 5: But there's drug use. There's all the telltale signs that
- 2:20Speaker 5: there's serious problems in this family. So this is what
- 2:25Speaker 5: I thought, maybe, just maybe this is the way or
- 2:30Speaker 5: the beginning of the way to stop this thing. If
- 2:33Speaker 5: parents are being held accountable, if they've been forewarned, if
- 2:37Speaker 5: the officers have called them, if they saw in his diary.
- 2:41Speaker 5: First of all, if he wrote he's going to kill
- 2:44Speaker 5: people in his school, the kid needs to leave the school. Well,
- 2:47Speaker 5: I don't want my kid in that school.
- 2:48Speaker 3: There was a student school shooting? Was it last year?
- 2:51Speaker 3: Two years ago up in I.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Think it was in Michigan where the parents were called
- 2:56Speaker 1: to a teacher conference that day with the sub Yes,
- 3:00Speaker 1: and the son had the gun in his backpack in
- 3:02Speaker 1: that meeting, and the parents didn't take the son home,
- 3:05Speaker 1: and he left that student teacher parent meeting and then
- 3:10Speaker 1: went and did the.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Rampage in the school.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And the parents were arrested for that one.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Yes, as well.
- 3:16Speaker 5: As they should have been.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Well, did you see that thirty minutes before he actually
- 3:20Speaker 4: did the shooting, he had told his mother. He'd sent
- 3:22Speaker 4: a message to his mother saying I'm sorry, and she
- 3:24Speaker 4: called the school said this is an emergency. Why wasn't
- 3:28Speaker 4: it still locked down?
- 3:29Speaker 5: She told them that there's go check on my son.
- 3:32Speaker 5: Something seriously is wrong here. And if you watch, I
- 3:35Speaker 5: saw a video of the father. He was rocking back
- 3:38Speaker 5: and forth in the courtroom. You can tell he's trying
- 3:41Speaker 5: to self soothe because he is probably this is surreal.
- 3:44Speaker 5: He can't believe it. But I think this might just
- 3:47Speaker 5: be the first step in making sure that other parents
- 3:50Speaker 5: if they get word your child has actually admitted that
- 3:54Speaker 5: he wants to shoot up the school, these parents will
- 3:57Speaker 5: take it seriously because right now, a lot of these
- 3:59Speaker 5: parents feel sorry for their kid. Well, he was bullied,
- 4:01Speaker 5: he's picked on.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Well they talk about this in this kid right right.
- 4:04Speaker 5: He was picked on and bullied, and clearly he came
- 4:08Speaker 5: from a domestic situation in his own home. Even his
- 4:11Speaker 5: aunt said he's been crying out for help for a
- 4:12Speaker 5: couple of years. So so many people have dropped the
- 4:16Speaker 5: ball on this kid, and now we have four people
- 4:19Speaker 5: are dead because nobody did what they needed to do.
- 4:22Speaker 5: But I'm with Kimberly. She called thirty minutes she was
- 4:25Speaker 5: driving apparently two hundred miles headed to the school, because
- 4:29Speaker 5: he sent her a text that said I'm so sorry, mom,
- 4:32Speaker 5: She knew that something was up, So you have thirty minutes.
- 4:37Speaker 5: Why didn't the school do a lockdown? Why didn't they
- 4:39Speaker 5: find that kid right and just pull them into the
- 4:42Speaker 5: office and hold them until the mom got there, the dad,
- 4:44Speaker 5: the police officers, the investigators. Because now we're on the
- 4:47Speaker 5: other end of it and somebody's having to bury their children,
- 4:50Speaker 5: bury their loved one.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Now I mentioned some things that haven't been talked about
- 4:53Speaker 1: in this one. The school's actually had a partial automatic
- 4:57Speaker 1: lockdown just in place. Apparently those doors lock when they close,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and so he was trying to get back into his
- 5:04Speaker 1: original classroom and the door was locked, he couldn't, so
- 5:07Speaker 1: he sprayed a classroom next to it there, So there
- 5:10Speaker 1: was there was a partial lockdown already going on, just
- 5:12Speaker 1: as part of the safety procedures of the school. The
- 5:15Speaker 1: other part that's not really talked about enough, this shooting
- 5:18Speaker 1: was stopped by a school resource officer. A good guy
- 5:21Speaker 1: with the gun showed up there because he had a
- 5:24Speaker 1: whole bunch of more bullets. There were a whole bunch
- 5:26Speaker 1: of more people that could have been killed in this,
- 5:28Speaker 1: but one officer shows up and ends it right.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Then, one thing for lave If you have a chance
- 5:33Speaker 5: to go to Daily Wire and watch run Hod fight. Yes,
- 5:37Speaker 5: it's well worth your time.
