1. Since when do mug shots ...

Omit the classic sign plate with name and number?

People like these should have mug shots in grainy black and white.

[milestogo]

2. Why the different colors? To tell them apart?

[Jedi Guy]

16. Some jails have different uniforms for different types of inmates.

At a guess, this jail system uses orange for juveniles, blue for adult men, and red for adult women. Just a guess, though.

[FSogol]

21. Maybe orange for suicide watch? n/t

[rsdsharp]

3. They didn't need a gun.

They needed a comb.

[NewHendoLib]

4. They seem... nice?!?!

[maxsolomon]

5. They forgot 21st century mugshot rule #1

You're supposed to mug in your mugshot.

[underpants]

6. When I saw the fathers mugshot a term and a phrase immediately came to mind.

But it’s not okay to use either now.

[DENVERPOPS]

29. All of their eyes

tell the story...........

[Jilly_in_VA]

7. Would you buy a house from that woman?

Asking for a friend.

[PJMcK]

8. Yeah...

These are the kind of people I always avoid.

Psychos.

[vanlassie]

9. I see dead people.

[BlackSkimmer]

11. I find this heartbreakingly sad.

No idea how anyone finds any part of this tragedy in any way amusing.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. +1

[Chautauquas]

14. Same here n/t

[Blue Dawn]

18. I feel the same.

I find it heartbreakingly sad, too.

[samnsara]

20. i know..they will never see, hug or kiss one another again....what a waste.

27. Some people cope with shock and anger differently.

It's not funny when people die of Covid either, but when you see people who went out of their way to make things worse for everyone else die from from Covid, it's hard to avoid a certain amount of schadenfreude. The question I have to ask is if there was anything short of outlawing guns that would have prevented these three from causing the deaths of other people. The answer I come up with is no. The parents are apparently either totally oblivious or actively evil. I think the courts will have to decide that.

If I have any sympathy it's for the kid, with that duo as "role models," I think his chances were never that good.

[Upthevibe]

28. BlackSkimmer...

I completely share your sentiment.....The whole thing is just horrific....

[question everything]

32. If this will prevent one parent from giving guns as a gift, from encouraging

a child to use guns to solve their problems- think Adam Lanza and Sandy Hook - then parading them is worth it.

And, of course, for all homes, knowing where the guns are 24/7. Not “finding that the gun is missing” after hearing about a nearby massacre.

[SYFROYH]

12. Are V-necks back in style?

[BigmanPigman]

15. When I imagined their Xmas card last night I pictured matching

orange jumpsuits but this is fine too.

[dawn5651]

17. they could have prevented all the pain that families are going thru and they did nothing.

[samnsara]

19. they will never see, hug or kiss one another again......and for what???

[Cha]

22. Who's "we".. Nobody I know has

"become" this shit hole Dumpster Fire.

[paleotn]

23. Oh my dear lord. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[tritsofme]

24. I find the intense fascination with this family to be incredibly bizarre.

[LeftInTX]

31. Because the parents have been charged. They rarely are

[Larissa]

26. Unspeakable grief

The Daily Beast: "James and Jennifer Crumbley appeared emotional throughout the arraignment. Jennifer cried as she said she understood the charges against her. James smiled, laughed, shook his head, and raised his eyebrows at various points."

I could not help but wonder about the mothers and fathers who cried for their children who lost their lives at school. You do not expect your child to be in grave danger at school. This is what America has become.

[relayerbob]

30. Horribly offensive

Inappropriate in every possible way.

And not, in the least, funny.
