Alleged Georgia school shooter Colt Gray was frequently called �gay� by
bullies, including some who physically harassed him, his father told
investigators in a 2023 phone call.

�I was trying to get him on the golf team. Like, �Oh, look, Colt�s gay.�
�He�s dating that guy.� Just ridiculed him day after day after day,� Colin
Gray, 54, told authorities in a newly revealed transcript.

�I don�t want him to fight anybody, but they just keep like pinching him
and touching him, and that�s a whole different deal,� the dad said at one
point. �And it�s just escalated to point where like his finals were last
week and that was a lasting on his mind.�

Colt, then 13, had landed on the FBI�s radar after allegedly threatening
to shoot up a middle school on Discord, an online messaging platform
popular among gamers.

The Jackson County Sheriff�s Office paid a visit to the boy�s home and
spoke to his father, who said his son was bullied � and admitted that the
boy had access to firearms in the house.

During the phone conversation several weeks later, Gray told the
investigator that he introduced bow-hunting, a pellet gun and then a .22
rifle and gun safety to his son for deer-hunting.

�He�s going through a lot. He just wants us to have a simple life. It was
very difficult for him to go to school and not get picked on,� said Colin,
who now faces manslaughter and murder charges alongside his son.

Just before 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 5, Colt allegedly opened fire at Apalachee
High School with an AR-15-style rifle given to him by his father as a
Christmas present.

Colt is accused of killing two students and two teachers.

.... and again we discover that maybe it's not a good idea to be a bully.

Trump is about to learn that some lesson though not at gunpoint.

"In 2008, the eurozone and the US had equivalent gross domestic products (GDP) at current
prices of $14.2 trillion and $14.8 trillion respectively (€13.1 trillion and €13.6 trillion).
Fifteen years on, the eurozone's GDP is just over $15 trillion, while US GDP has soared to $26.9 trillion."

Between 2008 and now, we've had 4 years of Republicans and 12 years of Democrats running the country.

You do the math.
