Texas School Shooting Suspect Parties On
2021-10-09
[TOWNHALL] One day after pulling a gun and firing on his classmates and teacher, the suspected Arlington, Texas, school shooter not only walked free after meeting a $75,000 bail, but partied with his family upon returning home.

According to witnesses, the suspected shooter fired "seven or eight times" at a 15-year-old classmate with whom he had just gotten into a fight. He also shot his teacher in the back and another teenage girl was grazed by a bullet. He then fled the school.

After a bondsman met the bail terms, the suspect was met with a welcome home party by his family, even as one of the victims remains at death's door.

The student, who was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, was seen in videos shared in social media enjoying a celebratory family gathering in his kitchen, The Sun reported.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Cynthia backed into the galley, the barbecue fork held in front of her.
Jack! she called. Where the hell are you?...

15-year-old student Zacchaeus Selby, who was struck four times during the gunfire, remained hospitalized in an induced coma, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

"Zacchaeus is a bright young and respectful individual who lit up a room every time with his presence," according to a GoFundMe account set up to raise money for his medical expenses and legal costs.

"He has a heart of gold and does not deserve to be fighting for his life in the ICU due to being shot in an environment were (sic) kids should feel safe. He is a great brother, boyfriend, and coworker and does not have a bone in his body to bully anyone," the fundraiser adds. (New York Post)

Teacher Calvin Pettitt, who tried to break up the fight, is also still in the hospital.

#13  Dear #8, Zacchaeus is the name of the victim of this mass-school-shooter. He is the one in the ICU unit while this slimeball parties before skipping town.
(apologies to all real slimeballs for the comparison)

It's here. Here and now.

I agree with the other poster this morning on the Newsome thread: it's time to separate from these sick bastards. Can't live in the same country anymore. Divorce time.

#6  Law abiding white gun owners are the target of dem gun laws. If this had been a Dylan Roof or Nicholas Cruz type, he'd not be out on bail.

#5  I'd like to know where this young wanna-be killer got his money to buy top-of-the-line clothes, a 2018 Dodge Charger and make bail. Mickey-Ds? I don't think so.

Hey there are so-called insurrectionists with phonied-up charges still languishing in jail in Washington, DC for essentially nothing. And what about the young thugs who burned, looted and even killed across the country during the past couple of years (Antifa and BLM)?

A right-of-passage?

#2  What he deserves I do not claim to know, but I saw Zacchaeus light up the room on the video. Revenge isn't self defense, but if you're going to allow youts' to light up the room you sure can't be but so surprised when revenge shows up.
