#1 From the article: "Police found more than four grams of a penalty group two drug they believed to be hallucinogens."

Kind of strange wording there.

#2 Wording per the statute I think.

Drugs in Penalty Group 2

4 grams+ is for distribution not personal use.
Suggests he was an armed dealer, not a school shooter.

#3 But it was a gun near a school. His "favored victim group" status spoils the story. For some...

#6 On the Dallas TV news last night, they reported several charges against him, but noted having a rifle in your vehicle is not a crime. Not yet, anyway.

#7 Get the guns away from foreign born juvenile miscreants like Diego Horta before you go after law abiding citizens.

#8 I'm sure he was only waiting to shoot some celebration shots in the air...

#9 "The Texas teen is home-schooled and not a student at Rowlett High"
Home schooled or not in school, there is a huge difference and the kid doesn't fit the pattern for home schooled I've come to expect.

#10 the kid doesn't fit the pattern for home schooled I've come to expect.

There is a huge range in what home schooling means, from serious college prep to free range kids to the well-intentioned but ill-equipped experience final daughter went through at the hands of her mother: her mother handed her the age-appropriate textbooks and workbooks from series recommended by fellow members of their odd little church, and when fd struggled got her the same textbook/workbook combination from another recommended series on the subject. Final daughter is bright, but she spent three years trying vainly to master junior high math without any useful help from her mother, even though her mother had a college education and ranked as a sergeant in the Air Force when she retired.

I’m reasonably bright and well educated, but I lack the discipline to successfully home school. I was fine at enriching beyond what the school offered, but if formal schooling had not been available, I would have done my parental duty by arranging for tutors.
