Colt Gray's Father Gets 15 Years for Enabling a School Shooting

Original version ·

It turns out that ignoring your kid's obsession with past mass shooters and handing them a gun has real-world consequences.

So, Colin Gray just got handed 15 years in prison. This comes right after his 16-year-old son, Colt Gray, was sentenced to life for that horrific shooting at Apalachee High School. The judge was pretty blunt about it: Colin wasn't just a bad parent, he was an accomplice to a nightmare.

Instead of sending his kid to school, Colin let him sit home and obsessively watch videos of Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland shooter. When the warning lights were flashing, Colin didn't just ignore them—he bought his son the weapon used to destroy four lives and injure many more. The law finally decided that parents can't just shrug off their kids' violent obsessions.

The whole family dynamic was a disaster, right down to the mother, Marcee Gray, laughing about fan art of her son next to other shooters. It’s wild that in a country obsessed with "family values," this is what passed for one.
