The details are in about the kid who apparently admitted to shooting up a Georgia school on Tuesday - killing 4 people and hospitalizing 9 - and man oh man do we know A LOT.
(Note: We don't generally name school shooters but in this case, we are talking about a kid and his family, so for this story, there will be an exception so the details have clarity.)
The suspect, 14-year-old Colt Gray, has an ... interesting choice in hairstyle.
His mother is a meth head and is divorced from his dad.
Marcee was arrested two days after keying a truck that belonged to the construction company that her husband works for, but for a separate charge from another county.
She was with another man at the time, and was in possession of fentanyl and muscle relaxers (but the drug charges were dropped). She pleaded guilty to putting a license plate from another vehicle on her own.
In December, she was banned from having any contact with her former husband and spent 46 days in jail.
The Daily Mail notes that in April, she was charged with the November assault of a 73-year-old women. Marcee allegedly trespassed into the woman's home and taped the elderly woman's hands and feet to keep her from leaving in that situation.
She has an assortment of other past charges, including fraud of a car dealership when she bought a 2018 Suburban with a check that bounced.
When she left her husband, she apparently left her oldest son behind and took his younger sister and brother with her.
Marcee and her father, Colt's grandfather, have accused the husband, Colin Gray, of abuse as well.
From CNN:
'He was just a good kid, but he lived in an environment that was hostile,' Charles Polhamus said of Colt Gray, his grandson, in an interview with CNN. 'His dad beat up on him, I mean, I'm not talking about physical, but screaming and hollering, and he did the same thing to my daughter.'
The grandfather said he had never seen Colt Gray show any kind of anger problems, but that the turbulent family life had affected the teenager.
Yeah, except that "good" kid was obsessed with school shootings, so much so that the FBI had the kid on their radar.
In spring 2023, the FBI was informed of an account on the Discord gaming/chat app that had been banned for violating its policies. The account, which was apparently the name of the name of the Sandy Hook shooter in Russian, was linked to Colt Gray.
The FBI then contacted the Jackson County Sheriff's Office to warn them that this account had threatened to shoot up a school the following day.
Authorities visited the Gray home and talked with Colin Gray, who assured them he only had hunting rifles and none were accessible to his son.
But the boy said 'he would never say such a thing, even in a joking manner,' according to the investigator's report.
The interview transcript quotes the teen as saying: 'I promise I would never say something where ...' with the rest of that denial listed as inaudible.
No arrests were made because of "inconsistent information" and the fact that the account had appeared to login from multiple locations in Georgia and in Buffalo, New York (VPNs and other tools to mask your private information are capable of doing this).
Then, for some reason known only to Colin Gray and God Almighty, Colin decided to buy Colt an AR-15 for Christmas a few months later in December 2023.
That AR-15 was the one used in the shooting.
Colin Gray has now been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, second degree murder, and cruelty to children.
To understand how the family got to this point, you can read all of the details, courtesy of CNN:
Colt Gray's parents' relationship started out with promise. In July 2011, shortly after he was born, his parents bought a small farm in Barrow County, Georgia, outside of the college town of Athens. They planned to 'create a non-profit, therapeutic riding school for local, under-privileged children,' his mother, Marcee Gray, who worked in industrial engineering, later wrote in a LinkedIn post.
But those plans were derailed in part because her husband, Colin Gray, had at least three 'major' back surgeries, she wrote. The couple, who had three children, later sold the farm in 2019, according to property records.
After they moved, the family faced lawsuits from multiple landlords, and were evicted from one home by a county sheriff's deputy in July 2022 for failing to pay rent, according to court records. As part of the eviction, sheriff's records show, deputies collected three firearms, including an AR-15, and at least one hunting bow, and kept them for safekeeping. The weapons were later 'released to owner,' the documents say.
CNN already has a leak that has provided intimate details about this kid's motive and manifesto - a shocking fact considering this is a minor and it has been policy on many mass shootings in recent years to keep motive tightly under wraps for the "public good."
Authorities searching the home of the 14-year-old accused of killing four people at a Georgia high school this week found documents that they believe he wrote referencing past school shootings, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told CNN.
The source said that the writings were discovered in the bedroom of suspect Colt Gray, and included references to the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
This brings us to my final question.
We know all of this about a 14-year-old kid who shot up a school in rural Georgia just three days ago.
We still know absolutely nothing about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the young man who shot Donald Trump at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. He apparently had no social media presence and no motive has been released. CNN has not received any leaks detailing why he did what he did. All we have are a few testimonies from former classmates who said he hated Trump and was bullied for things like wearing a mask.
The entire world knows about Colt Gray and his entire history.
But zilch about a man who almost changed world history.
Why is that?
In addition, this week, a year and a half after a girl obsessed with transgender and racial wokeness shot up a Nashville Christian school, killing 6 people, a news outlet in Tennessee finally was able to publish the manifesto that the authorities TRIED VERY HARD to keep under wraps.
Again, why is that?
Pray for Georgia, then ask yourself why the Narrative™ only runs one way.
