Sad to say this, but this happens so much that I don’t remember this tragic event. Rest in peace to the victims. Peace within for all the families.
I was just thinking the same thing 😢...tragic all the way around
It's the new America. And ppl still say it's a "great country " 😂😂
@@440-fishermandrock8 I mean it is a great country, it’s just not a perfect one
@@440-fishermandrock8 better than where ever you're commenting from surely
Same here. Sadly there’s been tons of incidents since.
Parents need to be locked up too!
They are locked up for buying him the gun when they knew he had problems. Their judge denied their request to be in court today with their son, thats why they werent there
They are locked up wym
Victim parents should be lock up . For not telling there kids to respect all people.
THEY WHERE BULLYING HIM. Now he’s wrong for standing his ground. So easy to see
@@ghozt9119 1. There is no evidence that bullies were targeted. 2. I was bullied and I never dreamed of blowing a classmate's head off with a gun. 3. Maybe actually show some respect for the victims instead of blaming them for Ethan's obviously fucked up mindset. Maybe you need some help, too, if you think this is justifiable. 🤢
RIP to all victims
thank u happy birthday to you!!

Bro went from Ethan Crumbley to Ethan Full Portions
😂😂😂
Ethan Plumley
They always do
yes he was 15 and old enough to know right from wrong, but this kid’s parents failed him. He had no chance from the beginning.
The victims’ parents also failed their children. If they had taught their children better manners, they wouldn’t have bullied him. All parties and their parents are at fault.
@@giraffeorganic I 100% agree with the statement. Everybody in fact did play apart even though people will say oh that’s so insensitive but it’s the truth too many people these days don’t want to venture down the truth path they want things watered down even when it’s most helpful when the truth is present at least, if not being said in an obvious tone
This statement is somewhat true. He could’ve not understood the severity of his crime I believe in many cases this has been a theory that everyone understands what they are doing, but that, in fact, is not the truth at all, there is mental illnesses that prevent said person from acknowledging their surroundings, how they are actually, but obviously his parents did play a part and it there’s many factors to this case. Of course, this is me speaking from an outside point of view, but I can also peak my head in and view it as a person with empathy, sympathy
yea. people forget this kid parents are 2 useless alcoholics that never took care of ethan.
reading how often they left him alone in the house when he was a little kid so they could go out and drink is really sad.
also seeing the photos of their house say alot of what kind of environment ethan lived.
the house is a fucking mess, animal poop everywhere, bottles of whisky in ethan room and seems no one did clean that house in years.
that kid life was over since the beginning.
Not necessarily. I’ve learned as I grew up that there may be great parents who raised their children right but ultimately these kids made the choice to do wrong. His parents probably didn’t fail him, he failed himself.
the parents of this kid failed him so much. i bet you this kid will regret everything after he get the medical attention he needed for so long.
i bet the parents had no idea about his motive or anything
thank u happy birthday to you!!@@alphaisdank42069
@@alphaisdank42069 They were warned by Ethan's teachers that he was having serious issues and the parents ignored them. The school actually called Ethan's mother the day of the shooting and asked her to pick him up that morning as he was making some disturbing drawings. The mother refused and we know the rest of the story. This kid was asking for help months and probably years leading up to this and his did nothing. That's why they were charged.
He WILL NOT get the proper care he most likely needs. The prison system fails at every level.
@@FastBowtie388 not always, some do have programs for people that want help. there are a few mass shooters that did get help and regret everything they did.
The parents failed this boy. It’s a shame
A lot of kids are failed by their parents it’s no excuse
@@ScreamTatumRileyEXACTLY! I went through hell growing up. From everywhere, everyone. I would never harm another person... Unless they harm you first. But that excuse is bs.
I had a very abusive mother and my dad walked out when I was born, but at the end of the day, my bad choices are my own. Blaming my parents does nothing, it does not give me a pass to avoid accountability, instead, it means I have the opportunity to be a better person for my future children and teach them to stop blaming others for what is their own mistake, and to learn how we can do better next time so it doesn't happen again.
@@mikealvarez7505 i agree
No, the justice system and government has failed him and his parents.
He is evil and deserves life in prison.
"and parents" are evil too. This isn't your usual normal every week mass shooter story in America. The parents are to blame for most of it.
Well, the victims shouldn't have bullied him. All parities are at fault, including the parents of all parties.
This is America.
I have a question for you. If you were born with the same exact brain chemistry and had the same exact up bringing including same parents and experiences, do you believe you would have behaved any differently than this young man. If you do why do you believe that. It sounds as if you are suggesting people have evil spirts that are beyond their control that over take them, is that what you are suggesting?
@@3ld919Maybe the evil spirits manipulated his brain chemistry.
@@3ld919 evil is a choice, not an uncontrollable force in your life. Some people do have mental “demons” but you still make the choice in your actions.
Kids should NEVER go through this stuff. They are precious and important. And its heartbreakingly the worst thing on this planet to see them hurt in any way 😢
Kids are overrated.
I agree
@@swisstopia if that's the case, someone should of said that before having you 😇.

There are various other news outlets that have reported on this sentencing. Check some of them out
@@clambroth1923 ok sir
Oh no! Then he must be free

@@Ryan_Kinel_broI think it was a typo and that they meant to say “this”.
Praying for the families of everyone involved and affected and praying for him, who committed the crime. If he was fostered in a much better environment, things would not have been like this. 🙏🏾
Prayer doesn't work. Never has, never will. Perhaps stricter gun laws and more discipline would work.
@@tsb7911if anything, religion is a big foundation for broken and twisted homes. Right on the money there.
Why does it take 2 years for a blatantly guilty person to be put in prison?
Took longer for Nikolas Cruz , damm shame in our justice system
People still have rights, including criminals. If you rush the case and screw something up, they could walk.
It didn't genius, he's been in prison since the day of the shooting. He was denied bail🤦🏻
It’s about the 💰 it cost 3 to 5x more for death row then to house for a life time
@@calador1918 The dude is wearing prison clothing, like how tf did cadensam7 not see that?? (thats not a question pointed to you calador1918)
Ig caden was tryna say: Why does it take 2 years for a blatantly guilty person to be sentenced?
why is the death penalty off the table for these cases
Exactly that’s what I said
Michigan has never had the death penalty.
Its not listed as a federal crime, im assuming the defense attorneys made a case for it in exchange for something like hes not going to use the insanity defense and draw out the case
He isn't 18. You have to be 18 or older to be given the death penalty.
Of course, there’s a few reasons BUT being incarcerated is a fate worse than death to many
Would Ethan have been able to cause as much harm if firearms weren’t so easily available?
Blame Americas gun culture, republicans who claim 2nd amendment right to kill people with guns and their NRA Cult to make BIG money manufacturing guns.
Yes
Criminals get guns easily law or no law
As much harm? In my opinion, I don't think so. Firearms are the most dangerous weapon a human can get their hands on...while people should have the right to bear arms...when it comes to children and their mental health...people...esp parents..need to be more cautious...
@BrandonCook74 so why then make it easier for them to get it legally?
My heart hurts for the loved ones and friends of all the victims going through this horrible tragedy. It's rare to feel anything but disgust for the perpetrator, but this one hits hard especially as a parent. Their kid was coming undone and crying for help, and they didn't help him at all. This tragedy could have been avoided, and it's on them both too.
His parents failed him they bought him what he wanted not needed as in mental help
I think that did play apart but neurological problems played apart as well. They all can join together. It’s not merely an opinion it’s statistical. If you look at other cases, there’s very few killers that are simply just brutal human beings and don’t suffer psychologically there is also a big list of killers that want to come off as meaner than they are but the true reality is it’s merrily an image they are trying to sell you in documentaries. For instance, not many times do they try to seem like the good guy in a documentary.
He was on some type of meds for behavioral issues. In fact, the MAJORITY of kids who have committed school shootings are on meds. Funny that nobody seems to be investigating that aspect of these crimes.
@@URL.Handle But who in this country wants to do anything about mental health? Nobody, because everyone is afraid it will "hurt taxpayers".
@@pricklypear7516 Possibly because being on meds would mean he was "stable" enough when he committed these crimes or it would be another way his parents neglected the boy, and that would actually hurt this boy's case. So, some families fight to leave it out or the defense team pressures the news to leave it out.
From high school yard to prison yard ✌️
If he makes it
Isn’t this the kid whose parents are also being charged as well?
That's him.
Trials take so dam long that most forget the victims & even crazy kid has grown up enough to realize his evil actions made nothing better. Much respect to those whi commit suicide without harming othere
I am not saying what he did was okay. But this is just so sad. 4 people may still be here if his parents had just gotten him help. Now this 17 year old is going to spend the rest of his life in a jail cell. Mom is now facing 15 years. Dad is still awaiting his trial. Just so so sad. This all was so avoidable.
It's sad when you can't even recall the details of this shooting because there have been so many since. It's hard to keep track....
Schools need to take bullying more serious.
Government needs to take gun control more seriously.
@elviscobb5922 if all the teachers had guns, he would've been stopped. you ban guns and what do you think they won't find a way to get one...or another way to kill. what happens if they take away all the guns and this still happens then what will you say??😂 honesty, imagine all guns were banned, and this happened. what sorry opinion would you have then??
@@dixonyamutha2505 Nobody is talking about "banning all guns." YOU are why we can't get any meaningful gun legislation passed, even though a whopping 80% of Americans favor it. Are you crazy? Violent? Given to criminal behavior? No? Me neither, so we DON'T have to worry about them coming for OUR guns!
@@dixonyamutha2505 Teacher’s went to college in the field of education in order to teach and nurture children.

Your option on this matter is not only distasteful but disturbing for most educators.
In the highly unlikely scenario that this would happen, I’m very prepared to do everything possible to protect myself and students but couldn’t live with the consequences of shooting down another person.
@@elviscobb5922you want “gun control” but never explain what you want to do
His parents neglected him. How many times does this have to happen until the world realizes that mental health is real.
They don’t even show the part where the judge actually tells him his sentence.
So sad for those Families who lost their babies. 😢
The victims were in high school, and were not babies. Don't add drama.
@@NavybyrdeSir, stop whining
@@ramencurry6672 that's not a whine, it's a correction. Some people feel the need to add drama, and this shooting doesn't need it. Recognize them as young people, not babies. I'm sure that the deceased would NOT like to be called babies, since most teens HATE that. Calling them babies is disrespectful to them.
I'm not sad, they were bullies who got what was coming to them. When will people learn?
@@Navybyrde Sir, calling them babies can be interpreted as feeling affection from different people
I hope u find peace Ethan as for the victims
Rest in peace to all the victims but I also pity Ethan. He was crying for help 😢. Now, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Unfortunately for some of us watching this video, there will be more videos like of this, of someone who committed a vicious crime like this, and some of us might not be alive to watch it the next time. It keeps happening and happening AND happening, and nothing changes. The reality is sad and frustrating.
It’s been 2 years and I still can’t believe this kid was at my school and ruined the lives of fellow classmates. It’s such a shame. Really glad to hear he is going to prison for life 👍
Doesn't make you special
@@NewCZcamsDawgMSSPwho said it did? What a dumb response.
I waited and waited to here if it was life with out possibility of parole or with. Incomplete reporting
Without the possibility of parole
I highly doubt anybody that involves their self in a crime like this will ever be released. That’s one of the most sensitive places to do such a thing. There’s no way the public would allow this. Some people can’t be redeemed I didn’t say all.
I feel deeply bad for the victims, and hope god grant them peace in their hearts and a lot of patience.
I also feel angry and Devastated about the negligence and carelessness of the parents of the the boy ( the shooter) !
I personally think they should be in jail and the boy should be admitted to Restricted Mental institution in order to recover even being kept indoors. It's for his Mental health . We all agree He is Human after all.
I completely agree. Why are we sending him to prison. He needs mental health treatment
This boy could have had a completely different life. So sad that everyone around him has failed as well.
thank u happy birthday to you!!!
Y’all blaming the parents…. He knew what he was doing
Nobody is blaming the parents INSTEAD of the shooter. That doesn't mean, however, that the parents don't bear some legal responsibility. And besides, no one who thinks the parents were appropriately charge are even suggesting the shooter didn't know what he was doing.
That's how you do it Michigan!
Why it take so long for them to sentence him??? He’s already an adult by now. He took away so many lives for no reason
Most likely, because the court system is overloaded. I was supposed to go to court this summer. My state is backlogged a few years.
@@Carol-ym9bq that’s crazy. He’s going to die in jail. The justice system is corrupt anyway. I’m glad he’s being punished.
@@MrsMattapan617 I know I feel the same way. The whole system is wacked.
How long should it take to make the decision that will determine the rest of his life?
Walking out the court room like …Dum dum Dee Dee…which way did he go George? Which way did he go… 1:38 😂
At least $63,000 per year 4life.....
Death penalty cases cost more.
how big of a pos do you have to be to defend him smh
I first thought of taking my life when I was 10. 10 years old. And Ive thought of it throughout all my teen years too. I even attempted to do so at 18. I reached out so many times and was failed by the school and my parents.
You know what I never did? Considered hurting others too, the way this monster did.
Dont blame depression or mental illness. So many people have mental illness and dont do what he did.
He is a monster. Im glad he will rot in prison the rest of his miserable life. End of story.
I’m sorry you have gone through so much pain. I hope you are doing better now.
I’ve hurt certain people in my life, and I’m contemplating taking my life because of it. I know it’s the best punishment for being a monster.
When was this?
Little over 2 years ago.
I feel bad for the victims, but I feel bad for this kid too. His parents gave him a gun but they didn't give him love. It's not surprising that this happened.
Crumbley- "I'm never hiring Skeletor again"
So when did the sentencing happen??? Seems like they missed that part
This kid should NEVER have gotten this sentence. BOTH of his parents should get LWOP!
If you went to go get your child out of school you need permission to do so. With that being said if his parents get lwops then the justice system needs to hold teachers and principals accountable for what they saw on his classwork pleading for help to them and yet they did nothing for him.... the education system is truly broken it was not like this back in the 90s when i was going to public schools.
That is my belief, too!
Many people blame this boys parents. I’ve learned as I grew up that there may be great parents who raised their children right but ultimately these kids made the choice to do wrong.
His parents probably didn’t fail him, he failed himself.
NO! His parents knew what they were doing. They were hoping he ended his own life and not the lives of others. It is the only thing that makes sense on why parents would buy a mentally unstable child a fire arm
That may be true in some cases, but parents are the first educators and the most responsible for raising good children and if they see problems seeking help
You really need to refresh your knowledge of this case before you comment. This is the guy whose parents gave him the gun as a birthday present, responded with some "lol, you need to learn to not get caught" (like that was the problem) when his teacher found him looking at ammo in class, and then refused to take him home after he was found with violent drawings in class. The school told them and said they needed to get him to a counselor, and they thought the parents were taking him home, but they refused to. Oh, and that was the day that he went directly and committed the shooting. Some parents do get wrongly blamed; these parents had screaming red warning sign and did nothing.
his parents did fail him, he repeatedly told them he needed help and they did not do anything to get him help, the idiot father bought him a gun and both parents decided to go back to work after being called to the school instead of taking their son home or to a facility.
You got a point! Blaming others for your own actions can only go so far.
And THAT is how .....the cookie crumbles... 👹💩
BOY was that CRUMBLEY
The mom in dad went on the run in got found in Detroit
This will no doubt close a chapter in the victims families healing process but the journey to complete healing isn't done yet
So many people used the "chapter" on me and all I can say is it's not a book.
@@taroman7100lol
This has become so common its not even shocking anymore
It's sad that the parents ignored his mental health...if they took care of him and his dad never bought him a gun none of this woulda happened
When does his parents trial begin?
This guy is guilty but USA and his parents should be too by authorizing young boy to have a gun
How is the USA guilty?
❤❤❤
@@Oatmeal_303 Because America allows this sort of thing to happen over, and over again
How old is he?
I understand, that he has committed 4 murders.
But he is looking underdeveloped.
There is a ban of buying alcohol and tobacco products for those who are under legal age.
There is a ban of legally driving car for those below certain age.
So - the state, when it is for the state advantage, recognizes the lack of full development of human person.
But this very state - also when it is for its advantage - judges 15, even 14, even 13 (!!!) AS ADULTS AND IMPOSES UPON THEM MAXIMAL SENTENCE.
It is as incomprehensible as an imposition of several concurrent life sentences or several long consecutive sentences amounting to ridiculous 3 or 4 human lives.
Repair first this completely idiotic judicial system, that can render life sentence for the so-called THREE STRIKES, and only after that try to demand from totally neglected, abused, deprived and oppressed people to obey reasonable laws.
People are so aggressive and unstable precisely because they cannot find even a sandgrain of justice in this country, and, on subconscious level, they react accordingly, commiting heinous crimes within completely twisted and broken world of total lawlessness which corrupts this society from the top of head to the toenails.
Finally he'll be locked up and won't hurt anymore people
They are gonna have a field day with him in prison.
Both parents need to join him in prison.
I understand that they all need a defense attorney. But i will never agree with them patting and rubbing on their backs and arms to comfort them. These are cold blooded killers. You dont need to be comforting them.
He's innocent until proven guilty.
Maybe if they stopped calling it Life in Prison and started calling it Death in Prison, it might case these misfits pause.

Awww poor guy ,, NOT !!
His sentence should be putting him in a room with the fathers of the victims once a month for the rest of his pathetic life
So sad for the victims and their families. I'm also sad for Ethan. He clearly didn't get the help he needs and I don't feel life in prison is the answer. 😢
Praying for Ethan
Why isn’t this in federal court?
Why should it be?
Maybe kids should start to think before they bully someone so much that their victims feel feel they have to do something so drastic and irreversible as this to make it stop...he doesnt even look that bothered about the outcome..probably been dreading going to school every damn day thanks to bullies. Accountability will be served in some way eventually..Dont get me wrong, this is a terrible thing to happen..but it seems like every other week in america that there is a mass shooting...getting hard to be shocked anymore *shrugs*
Well, maybe you should start to think, and research the case in question, before making false assumptions. There was NO evidence presented by Ethan or his lawyers that claimed he was bullied. It wasn't just a terrible thing that happened...it was a cruel and heinous act.
Yeah, I guess until it happens to you. When I was stuck up with a firearm, it stopped being something "I don't care about".
Of course, it's a tragic and sad event. One that didn't need to happen. I have to say that whenever I watch these sentences. I just can't wrap my head around never having anything to look forward to again, Never driving a car or Going Out for dinner or Having christmas or even being able to go for a walk
Why is this country getting away from the death sentence! Ive been noticing this for the last 15 years
Wym?
Are the parents next?
I forgot that this school shooting even happened like I had to Google this event to recall what it was.
How is he gonna have contact with the family victims if he’s locked up for life
They can still write letters, do some phone calls, and have some internet access even in jail. Yes, American prison systems are far better than overseas.
Not to mitigate his crimes but teens do NOT have adult brains and should NOT be sentenced to life in prison. This kid needs long term confinement in a mental hospital and not jail with adults. He should not be free but this punishment does not fit his developmental stage in life. We must stop treating kids as adults in this country. He was failed by his parents and now by the state. I feel for the victims but our society is too focused on revenge instead of rehabilitation. Just my thoughts. So sad all around.
To be honest, a human's brain isn't fully developed until they are 26 years old medically. So we should stop holding anyone under the age of 26 accountable? We allow teens to drive and hold jobs, so we see them as old enough to make responsible decisions. If we expect them to mingle with society independently from parents, they must be held responsible for their actions. His parents failed him, but we need to put an end to "gentle parenting". It's ruining our children, making them irresponsible members in society. All children should understand that when you play adult games, you win adult prizes.
Kid threw his life away !!!! Probably mad over something stupid
Lol this is what you get for not doing a damn thing to stop kids who endlessly bully other kids
Such nonsense...there was NO evidence of this kid being bullied. He himself even stated that his acts were not motivated by bullying. Enough with this false narrative. And why are you LOL'ing kids being murdered?? Not a good look for you.
he's going to LOVE prison.
Agreed.
Why?
Speaking from experience???? 😂😂Lol 😂Lol

Rest in peace to the victims. I also hope the animals that he brutally tortured beforehand are at peace.
I hope life means life in this case because therapy or not..if given the opportunity he would kill again. But I truly wish his parents could be in prison also. They willfully chose to ignore signs and Ethan's own pleas to them about his mental health. The school contacted them about a violent drawing and his feelings of hopelessness about getting better and about how his parents have ignored his cries for help. They were summoned to the school either that morning or the day before I think. And all both of them could think about was how soon they could leave to get back to work. They bought the gun for him. Didn't even disclose to the school that they had done that either. They facilitated this act thru their own ignorance and unwillingness to admit that their son had some psychological problems. How stupid & irresponsible can you get. Ethan is broken and no he can't be fixed. Too late for that. But his parents are no better and should have to answer for the role they played in this whole tragic tale.
My deepest sympathies to those families who lost their kids so needlessly and senselessly.
As soon as I read this, I thought to myself “poor kid“ he needs to be locked up.
Why did the parents not take him to a therapist or psychologist?
You can tell he eats pretty well in jail, look how much he has grown
Just a little bit chubby, doesnt mean he's 'eating well'.
I hope that Steve Wilkos can travel to Oxford to interview Ethan Crumbley like in the season 1 episode Devil Mom
Any update on the Nashville Covenant school shooter and the manifesto?
HOW TF HE STILL ALIVE?
No , parents should not be lock up
What a waste of resources keeping this thing.
I could’ve sentenced him the first court sitting, absurd things like this take this long.
Thank God the legal system doesn't work the way you want it to because so many people would be in jail for things they didn't do
@@ellatgrasso2096I’m talking about the blatant ones, Guy shoots a school with crystal clear evidence and witnesses they get the “alleged” shooter and proceed to take decades.
I personally think life without parole was too extreme. I think like maybe 20 years I think people can change and deserve second chances. This is my opinion.
I'm on the fence about the life without parole. I can see life with parole, 25-to-life, etc., under some murder circumstances. I think just a 20 year sentence for this horrendous a crime in this case is way too light. Sure, people can change - even well before 20 years...but just because someone has changed doesn't mean the penalty should end. Everything should be put in context. He robbed each and every one of his victims of a lot more than 20 years of life. I doubt any of his victims' families would even think just 20 years would even come close to justice for their child. He can still choose to become a better person, yet still do his time. Not saying a punishment shouldn't have any rehabilitation element to it, but I still think the punishment needs to fit the crime, within reason.
I 100% agree with you it doesn't solve any of the bigger underlying problems it just a short term knee jerk bandaid to make everyone feel good about themselves the US is the only western democracy in the world to throw the book on children. Yes the boy deserves to be punished , but he is still a human being he is not demon that should be banished from this world. Judge Kwame knows that his reelection hinges on him dancing to the popular knee jerk opinion.
@@cmsmhp if I was a parent, I would only ask for 20 years
@@chriswinters5844 While not all of us would necessarily throw the book at whoever murdered our child, it's still easy for you to say that when your son or daughter wasn't the one murdered. 20 years is also not a mandatory 20 years in most cases. Many times you only have to serve about 60% of your sentence if you show good behavior throughout, and good behavior doesn't necessarily mean you are rehabilitated, either. I would at the very least have the murderer demonstrate to a parole board that he is truly reformed and remorseful, rather than shave off time served simply because he's not causing problems while incarcerated. I maybe could see 20 years as the mark where first parole eligibility occurs, though, especially in the case of a minor like Ethan.
Killed multiple people and injured others…Yea, that sounds like a 20yr sentence! Thank goodness you people aren’t judges.
I dont condemn what he did but i cant help but feel a little sorry for he kid. He had no one.
Making excuses once again
Think you mean you're not defending, but yeah I agree. It helps that his parents look like they were trying to skip out on him.

he had been watching mass school shootings on social media for years, so he knew that he would either be killed at the scene or executed or spend the rest of his life in prison. he knew the pain that it would cause for everyone ….both the victim’s families and his own family…..but still he went forward .
what did he see himself accomplishing by doing this ?…..what do any of the young mass shooters see themselves accomplishing ?
well….he will have plenty of time to think about it…
imho, life without parole is far worse than the death penalty. death row is solitary confinement . this 17 year old could end up in general population ….and he already knows that he is not leaving …ever….
what does HE feel like he accomplished at this point? his fate is set so he can be honest with us now at some point .
