I am pleased and relieved with EC's guilty plea. As was said above, remorse from a school shooter is a rare thing and I believe he is actually remorseful.
Oh how I wish his parents had been more parental. I wish they'd never gotten him that gun, never left it unsecured when they knew he was struggling. Taken him home that day as requested. Sought mental health help for him.
I hope they are prosecuted for their actions and inactions to the fullest. I have blamed them more for what happened than I have EC frankly. Not that I don't hold him responsible. He knew what he was doing was wrong and made choice to do it anyway. No amount of remorse can undo that. But his parents, I feel are more culpable. They had or should have had control of him and more importantly the weapon he used. They had ample opportunity to stop this before it ever happened. They couldn't be bothered. period. I hope they will be bothered now via justice for as harsh a penalty as possible.
