“Merry Christmas. PS: Santo, please bring ammunition. ”A short tweet accompanied by a photo of six other gunmen in addition to Republican Congressman Thomas Massie is a source of strong criticism at the head of the Kentucky State Congress. According to the diary The Guardian there are also models of weapons in the photo that civilians cannot hold without a special license. According to the server Newsweek they are all pictured in Massie’s family.

Massie published the post just days after the tragic events in Michigan, where a 15-year-old fired four students and injured seven others at a school in Oxford. Massie and his campaign leader Jonathan Van Norman have not yet responded to media inquiries.

The contribution of his Kentucky colleague has already been condemned by the Democratic representative of this state, John Yarmuth. “I’m old enough to remember the Republicans shouting that it’s insensitive to try to protect people from gun violence until after the tragedy.” wrote on his Yarmuth Twitter account, referring to the tense debate over the law on arms control. “I promise not everyone in Kentucky is an insensitive asshole,” Yarmuth added.

The father of the victim of one of the many firearms attacks in American schools did not spare criticism either. “It simply came to our notice then. Someone, such as elected politicians like this, is trying to be ironic, funny or whatever, but it’s an example of the worst taste you can ever face on social media and you have to deal with it. ” he said broadcast by CNN Manuel Oliver.

Oliver, whose 17-year-old son Joaquin died in 2018 during a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, has long called for a meeting with President Joe Biden on promises to curtail the right to possess a weapon. “It’s also something that should teach us who we should vote for and who we shouldn’t. It’s a very ugly post, “Oliver added.

According to police, 15-year-old student Ethan Crumbley, who was subsequently charged with four murders, terrorism and other crimes, is behind the shooting at Tuesday’s high school in Oxford. Both of his parents are also facing charges of manslaughter.
–
James and Jennifer Crumbley were detained by police in nearby Detroit after their escape from Oxford. The couple did not appear in court on Friday to face charges of quadrupling inadvertently. According to District Attorney Karen McDonald, the behavior of James and Jennifer Crumbley was “worse than mere negligence.”
–
The cause of the accusation, according to the Michigan authorities, is “ignoring warning signs” about their son’s behavior. During the investigation, police revealed that the semi-automatic pistol used in the attack was bought by James Crumbley last week in the presence of his son.
–
Investigators also recalled their parents’ response to the school’s recent warning that Ethan was looking for firearms while teaching on a cell phone. His mother allegedly did not respond to reports from the school management, but wrote to her son: “I’m not mad at you. You have to learn to do it so they don’t catch you. “
–
The prosecutor also said that on the morning of the shooting, a piece of paper was found on Crumbley’s bench with a picture of a pistol and the words “those thoughts are not going away, help me.” The student’s parents were immediately called to school, but refused to intervene in any way. “Neither James Crumbley nor Jennifer Crumbley asked their son if he had his gun with him or where he was, and did not search his backpack. They left high school without their son,” McDonald said.
–
Later that day at 1:22 p.m., Jennifer Crumbley sent a text message to her son that read, “Ethan, don’t do this.” A few minutes later, her husband called the police to announce that his weapon was out of place, the prosecutor said. Authorities say Ethan left school washrooms and opened fire on classmates at the time.
