January 1, Dad Convicted Murdering Via Son’s Rifle

Wyatt’s Take

  • Colin Gray guilty on 27 counts, including second-degree murder, for handing his teen son the gun used in Georgia school massacre.
  • Gift came months after cops warned of boy’s threats and found Parkland shrine in his room.
  • Face up to 180 years; echoes Michigan parents punished for similar gun lapse.

A jury nailed 55-year-old Colin Gray with all charges tied to the Apalachee High School horror in Winder, Georgia.

On September 4, 2024, his son Colt allegedly killed two students and two teachers, wounding nine others.

Prosecutors hammered Gray for buying the Sig Sauer M400-DAP15 rifle as a 2023 Christmas present to bond over hunting.

That was seven months after police investigated Colt’s online school-shooting threats.

Investigators spotted a “school shooter shrine” in Colt’s bedroom lined with Parkland killer Nikolas Cruz pics and clips.

“I tell you right now, I never saw anything like that.”

Colt’s mom Marcee begged Colin to secure all guns from their troubled boy.

Defense lawyer Hobbs told jurors:

“You cannot hold a person criminally liable for failing to foresee what was deliberately and meticulously hidden from them.”

DA Brad Smith called it straight criminal negligence that armed the killer kid.

These rulings hit parents hard when they ignore red flags plain as day.

What say you, folks? Lock up your damn guns if kids act crazy.

Time to put family safety first around the dinner table.

    In this case I damn sure agree with the judge. If you know ahead of time that there is a problem with your kid maybe instead of a rifle you should have gotten the kid some mental help. Just an idea.

      That is a pretty slippery slope you are agreeing with. While I agree there is definite culpability on the father’s part, and perhaps some form of punishment is in order, I believe the sentence is WAY OUT of proportion to the “crime”.

      At what point do you consider idle teenage chatter, (not that the “shrine” indicated idle teenage chatter) with a real issue? In other words, what is “the straw that breaks the camel back”?

      If a kid dresses in goth and hangs out with similar types doing weird stuff, does that make them suspect, or how about the hunting types that like to wear camo or the cowboy types that are fond of, say John Wayne and his shootem up brand of law and order? Does that make them suspect in regard to possibly doing something stupid?

        Jaoquin is right. Slippery slope indeed. Juries in blue states will happily convict parents whose kid uses a gun and commits a crime if the politically motivated prosecutors can show that the boy was “far right” or a “White racist”, etc. This guy was probably prosecuted because he was a White guy in a normal marriage and a father. Had he been Black, a transsexual, a lesbian or some other “protected group” he would never have been prosecuted. I can see that some kind of punishment might be appropriate but to convict the parent of murder? For Pete’s sake. Has anyone ever heard of a Black parent prosecuted because his “urban youth” kid committed a crime against a White person? Don’t hold your breath waiting for something like that.

      In cases like this, where the kid has huge red flags, including threats like this kid made, I completely agree. The parents knew the kid was unstable, but Dad armed him anyway.

    So when are the judges and lawyers who let criminals off to rap, rob, and murder again going to be held accountable?

      “going to be held accountable”

      Right after the democrats quit lying, which is to say, NEVER!

        Sadly, I believe you’re right. Judges and prosecutors who drop charges or provide light sentences for violent criminals will never be held accountable.

          They must. Contact your Senator and Representative. Get this going.

    That man is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for this and his lawyer should do his time with him.
    He claimed you can’t hold someone liable for something they can’t foresee. Really? The little deranged kid had a shrine in honor of another school shooter! What did he even let him have a gun that he had access to without supervision for?
    My kids at that age had a shotgun and a single shot hunting rifle and DIDN’T Have Access to Them Whenever they Wanted! If they would have had a shrine to some monster I Would Have Taken The Firearms Away from Them!
    This (Father?) should Have Multiple Life sentences For This!
    I’m Pro Gun All the Way But This Was Irresponsible, Stupid, Careless, Neglectful, Idiotic and he Should have to pay for what his Son and Himself Did!

      So, apparently you have a shrine to your democrat cult leaders. Oh, and another shrine to the Nazi news media for all of the lies and misinformation they tell you, and for the same Nazi news media inciting violent protests and then reporting that they were “peaceful” protests! Where is the outrage for ALL of the violent illegal aliens that have killed, maimed, raped, and injured American citizens? Should we sue the left for allowing this crap to take place? The dem voters know damned well that the news media and the dem politicians incite violence by using terms like “Nazi, gestapo, etc… and Hakeem Jeffries saying “put your bodies on the line”! Maybe we should lock up ALL of the Nazi democrats that do that!!

    No. The father should absolutely not be held accountable for what his son did. You cannot control what another human being chooses to do. Period. I don’t care if the person is a teenager.

    I have a family member who is serving a massive sentence in prison right now because he lent a weapon to a friend who then used it to kill someone so why the fuck should dad NOT be held accountable?

    Exactly as it should be. If you give a gun to someone who is too young to buy one, not to mention mentally disturbed, and they go out and kill someone, you have enabled their malicious behavior. And, you are guilty.
