He does indeed, especially in this case.  If he'd not been warned by local
authorities that his son was making threats, I might not feel so harshly
towards him.  But the fact of the matter is he was warned and bought the
kid a(nother) weapon anyway.  That is negligent.

In other situations, the FBI did nothing and let something happen.  In this
instance, they informed local authorities who took the kid's word over
the FBI evidence.  I feel like the FBI did their part of the job, for once.

There is plenty of that to go around in this echo, from all sides,
unfortunately.

Rights and Freedom come with Responsibility, no doubt.  I am amazed, at
times, how many people don't understand that.
