Why does Court TV invite guests on to talk about crime and then cut them off before they are done speaking because they run out of time. You need better time management. 😮😮😮😮😮
Bruh. He's guilty af but how could you possibly question his anxiety level? A 15 year old is a baby. You can't imagine it just sunk in his life is over and he needs resolution?
I’ve hunted since I was 8 years old. I’m 38 now. I’m a short man at 5’5” and 145 lbs. I was 130 lbs in high school. I was bullied quite a bit until 11-12 grade when girls realized what a cutie pie I am lol. I’ve had guns and access to guns my entire life. Never, not once considered shooting the school up. It’s a mental health problem and a glorification problem. If kids didn’t hear of these school shooters and suici&@s it wouldn’t happen. Hunting does not lead to violence. Ignoring children does. It’s the ultimate act of acting out for attention.
I’m happy to see these parents being charged. This isn’t a case of a parent doing their best and their child not complying. This father bought this disturbed child the gun AFTER he knew that he had thoughts of committing this specific crime. Inexcusable.
I think the father is a bs’er and played good ole boy network with the cops. The kid clearly did this. The father knew what his son’s mental health was and bought him an AR. He deserves to go to prison.
I’m sorry if this father did not seem to me to be like oh I know my son’s gonna do something like this. He knows nothing no parent in their right mind whatever sake their child would do this.
@@kellygarin8919 he knew his son’s mental health issues I’m sure. You do not leave guns around 14 year olds - it is illegal for them to use them unattended by an adult. I think this father knew his son’s mental health.
@@kellygarin8919 granted if he had “no idea” this should of been a big enough wake up call ??? Personally i wouldn’t go and buy my son or daughter a gun regardless or give them access. Let alone after this kind of interaction. No common sense
Well they looked at the young looking white guy / white kid. They see themselves and will NEVER not give a young white male the benefit of the doubt. Maybe if we give cops goggles where everyone looks brown. I think that could help raise suspicions. Make sure the goggles don’t make the kids look black though- they might end up shot by the police.
@@ferrari251oh for Heaven’s sake. Please stop with the false rhetoric. Try doing some independent research. More white people are killed by police Every year than POC!
No one ever wants to admit that their child is capable of such deceit and violence. There’s no reason why hunting rifles should be “accessible” to kids. Take the boy hunting if you must but keep the rifles in a gun safe! I don’t see that the deputies had probable cause to seize the guns, but they did have enough info from the FBI to confiscate Colt’s laptop for examination.
The “parent” trying to give a back story…. He knew it was his son. A responsible parent would’ve went straight to the child and brought them in front to find out if they were the one making threats.
The Dad was just telling the Sheriff what he wanted to hear to cover himself but leaked important information that screamed red flags. The Sheriff only seemed to be addressing it because he was forced to. More friendly than authoritative. Wrong approach, gentleman.
Does Vinnie invite guests on the show because he loves to introduce them? He clearly hates letting them speak. Also, why is he always YELLING? You can have a strong opinion, express outrage, or demand answers without yelling? This ish is unwatchable.
I’ll bet police aren’t la la la-ing now. COME ON!!! And sadly I think Dad belongs in jail too for a long time. That was a serious thing, not a joking matter.
Well I can see that he is rocking back and forth, almost peeing his pants when a legitimate poæice officer is just having a normal conversation with him
They all failed, law enforcement took it really lightly, especially because they heard Colt's father say he has law enforcement family and sang a sorry story smh
The level of miscommunication and misunderstanding regarding IP addresses and electronic communications within law enforcement is honestly astounding. It’s 2024, you don’t need to be an IT guy but you should now the basics. I work for the National Suicide and Crisis Prevention Lifeline taking text/chats and I cannot tell you how many time a WEEK I need to explain to dispatch or other law enforcement officers how tracking and IP works. I had an officer in NYC special victims unit literally just GOOGLE an IP and try to go to the coordinates that came up. Even after I told him he needs to contact the persons ISP (internet service provider), have them ping the exact IP location, and go there. I even gave him the ISP emergency phone number!!! It is not that hard! Do your job!
The father basically told the officers to " be calm" address Colton "calm"" . As if saying don't upset him now.. Unfortunately the poor child has been traumatized, and the father is pacifying him
Wow unreal the Dad sounded nervous like HE HAD SOME TO HIDE!! He didn't want the cops to go in his house. Blabbed the whole time to throw them off for some REASON. Probably to hide all the guns. Then talked over his son and for his son. Like WAKE UP police officers helloooo.
I absolutely agree with you! At one point when he was going inside to get Colt, one of the Deputy’s even said ‘We can come inside if you like’. This is just a strange ‘interview’ in a very strange location.
I don't understand why the FBI didn't just go out there themselves with the local cops. I understand there's jurisdiction and there's the ego of the local cops if the FBI steps in. Isn't internet crime federal?
Sorry, dad knew. Right away he started with a backstory about eviction & his kid’s mood & school etc etc… he had a story all worked out before LE even got into the details. That dad knew exactly why they were there. That’s why he was so calm & casual- he knew it was coming, I’m certain of it.
3 things that are quite telling from this. 1 is the way the son lies , 2 is how the Dad reacts to the lie, as if its a regular occurrence, 3 is the way the father speaks about the Mother. Yet kind of ironic how she apparently has their other kids and they didn't have access to guns and go shoot up a school. It shows so much of how the dynamic is with this family. When a father blatantly speaks badly about the other parent infront of their child really shows a lot about their character. How immature and irrational the Father probably is. He openly blames the ex for why they got kicked out of their home but with this outcome, I'm wondering if the Dad is a liar, too
What did teachers there know? Probably nothing. I was a teacher (now retired) in 7th and 8th grade. Teachers are not told anything, even when students are on probation for threats to former teachers, other violent acts, etc. The students' privacy rights are more important than informing teachers of such things so the teachers have no idea about these things (my experience).
Second amendment right. They have to have 100% proof and as the officer said several times, they didn't know for 100% sure it was from him. Which baffles me because IP tracking is fairly easy for LE.
Dad and his boy were welcomed by law enforcement into the Good Ole Boy club. If it was a Black kid, they would never say, "I have no choice but to take him at his word." Oh so he's a laid back, reserved kid? That is legit every school shooter.
Officer said he didn't know how old the information was. That's a problem. Not a great interrogation. For suspicions of such lethal intentions, it would be good to interview at the police station and push a little more. Kid said he didn't post it; that's not good enough. Check his devices? Check recent discord activity?
I think it's tragic we know more about this guy after a few days than we do about the Trump shooter. Do you have any journalistic integrity?? Ethics and Standards? *crickets* *crickets*
‘If this is true…..’. This needed to be approached as if it WAS 100% true instead of …it might be old…taking the kids word that he wasn’t on discord. Big miss on the ‘back at my old school I didn’t have a reason to say that’. Implying that he would say it now…and no further questions on that thread? Just sad how many missed opportunities to intervene
Can court tv stop some of these "vinnie politan investigates" episodes? I miss when court tv showed more court tv content instead of episodes that sound like dateline. Sorry to vinnie.
People have said something when they see something and almost always nothing happens, just gets documented, if that happens. Then when something terrible happens thats when everyone talks about who's to blame.
I feel terrible for the father. He was clearly trying to be a good father, and teach his son about gun safety and responsibility. Now he is facing big time prison time.
Now here’s a father in utter denial who thinks because his son proudly shot a deer, that he “understands the seriousness of firearms”. He had 2 separate warnings from law enforcement and STILL missed the risk factor with his son. He deserves prison as does his son who should be tried as an adult. Enough is enough either way these irresponsible parents who think leaving unloaded weapons around is safe. Absolute waste of human life and so preventable These two cops should be charged too. Way too casual
I’m in my 20s I got anxiety n guns never had a thought to harm a school this is ridiculous anxiety makes you want to hide in bed n cancel plans this was purely a hate crime due to a year prior of his threats n fathers nowadays don’t know how to teach their kids manners or proper firearm use
I’m amazed that no study has been done on the common denominators of these high school shooters. We didn’t have shooting back in my school days. In fact several even had shotguns hanging up in the back window of their trucks.
Alot of parents dont want to invest in Mental Health for thier kids and see therapy as a tabo thing but will invest in the firearms to give to thier kids! Makes no sense!
I disagree. I totally believe that the Father was unaware that his son could ever do something like this. I really think the kid hid it well and completely fooled his father. Real psycho’s can do that.
I agree with you. He is a good father, who was trying to spend time with his son, and teach him gun safety and respect for firearms. Most dads do not even want their child after a divorce or separation The blame belongs squarely on the shoulders of the son. At 14, we know the difference between right and wrong, and after shooting a dear, he knew of the reality of death that a bullet will cause.
I also agree. I saw a dad that seemed very concerned about his son’s emotional wellbeing, checking in on him at school and worrying about him. Trying to get him interested in things he did as a kid. He said none of the guns were loaded and no kid is going to be truthful about the negative things they are doing. And parents who don’t use computers much are not going to catch on to their online activity.
Is sad knowing now what just happened 😢. 4 lifes lost, people inlury, families change forever, and those 2 on jail for the years to come. Tragedy all the way 😢
If I'm on the jury, I can't fault the dad for not believing the boy, when the cops say they believe him & even discount the fbi intel. However, that would be the case if 1 of those guns were used. Buying him a readily available AR after this interaction is prob going to be dad's downfall.
Hard to prove who it is when there's multiple accounts, cities ,addresses etc..they had the right one but they couldnt prove it. The boy lied out his crooked teeth of course.
Maybe it’s because hindsight is 20/20 but definitely you can tell something is wrong, that the kid is lying, that he DID make the threats in discord. Combine the fact that he’s getting bullied is so obvious they need to follow up with the threats
Thank you they should have made it so much more serious !! Like take him & the dad should have been detained and questioned. Then be on like major watch afterwards.
@@anabelleigh5745 thank you- this is obviously not taken seriously by the father or the police, in my opinion. Too many lives are lost in these shootings. Young lives. Devastating.
A mindful and caring father, the state wants to destroy the rest of his life and they think it's right he didn't do anything stop this horrible trend of law enforcement arresting parents for the crimes of their minor children. What sick minds allowed this concept.
Red Bull. He is a good father. He was trying to teach his son, gun safety and respect. The blame belongs squarely on the shoulder of the son. At 14, we know the difference between right and wrong, especially when the cops come to your house.
Unpopular opinion: These kids are hurting. No one is going to go shoot up a school, if they are not in some type of deep pain. He seems like he might be antisocial, a bit quiet and odd. He’s an easy target for other kids to pick on. Teach your children to be kind, to befriend the loners. Parents, be more present. His brain isn’t fully developed. I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for his victims as well. I just don’t believe there’s “bad” ppl. I think bad things have happened to ppl and it shapes ppl in bad ways. No one is born that evil. Something has happened.
Well, he is about to have a lifetime of anxiety. That will start with his trial and end with his life sentence. He is definitely going to have to toughen up for prison

I agree with you. He is a good father, who was trying to spend time with his son, and teach him gun safety and respect for firearms. Most dads do not even want their child after a divorce or separation
The blame belongs squarely on the shoulders of the son. At 14, we know the difference between right and wrong, and after shooting a dear, he knew of the reality of death that a bullet will cause.
I also agree. I saw a dad that seemed very concerned about his son’s emotional wellbeing, checking in on him at school and worrying about him. Trying to get him interested in things he did as a kid. He said none of the guns were loaded and no kid is going to be truthful about the negative things they are doing. And parents who don’t use computers much are not going to catch on to their online activity.
Is sad knowing now what just happened 😢. 4 lifes lost, people inlury, families change forever, and those 2 on jail for the years to come. Tragedy all the way 😢
If I'm on the jury, I can't fault the dad for not believing the boy, when the cops say they believe him & even discount the fbi intel. However, that would be the case if 1 of those guns were used. Buying him a readily available AR after this interaction is prob going to be dad's downfall.
Hard to prove who it is when there's multiple accounts, cities ,addresses etc..they had the right one but they couldnt prove it. The boy lied out his crooked teeth of course.
Maybe it’s because hindsight is 20/20 but definitely you can tell something is wrong, that the kid is lying, that he DID make the threats in discord. Combine the fact that he’s getting bullied is so obvious they need to follow up with the threats
The school knew there was a threat then he’s not coming ever I’m sorry
Thank you they should have made it so much more serious !! Like take him & the dad should have been detained and questioned. Then be on like major watch afterwards.
Dang! Sad story.
I can’t help myself but ,my heart goes out for this kid.
When was this body cam interview taken.
May 2023 when Colt was 13 years old.
@@anabelleigh5745 thank you- this is obviously not taken seriously by the father or the police, in my opinion. Too many lives are lost in these shootings. Young lives. Devastating.
A mindful and caring father, the state wants to destroy the rest of his life and they think it's right he didn't do anything stop this horrible trend of law enforcement arresting parents for the crimes of their minor children. What sick minds allowed this concept.
Vinnie is live on his other channel discussing same thing 🤷♀️
What is dad drinking?
Red Bull. He is a good father. He was trying to teach his son, gun safety and respect. The blame belongs squarely on the shoulder of the son. At 14, we know the difference between right and wrong, especially when the cops come to your house.
Unpopular opinion: These kids are hurting. No one is going to go shoot up a school, if they are not in some type of deep pain. He seems like he might be antisocial, a bit quiet and odd. He’s an easy target for other kids to pick on. Teach your children to be kind, to befriend the loners. Parents, be more present. His brain isn’t fully developed. I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for his victims as well. I just don’t believe there’s “bad” ppl. I think bad things have happened to ppl and it shapes ppl in bad ways. No one is born that evil. Something has happened.
Who in the heck does his father think he is? Telling LE what they need to tell his son? 🤦🏼♀️
This host is the absolute worst! Shut up and tell us the facts without all the annoying dramatics.
Dad said he was getting bullied. Son says no that’s the thing he wasn’t. Dad jumps in real quick. “I told them you were” but go on I guess.
They should of been taken to the jail and put in a room and interrogated about this with a detective. Not a front porch conversation.
He seems like he had a really good, involved dad. And he still did this. SMH.
That’s my girlfriends cousin Christian angulo
What the heck, If he was Black or Hispanic there would have been non of these shenanigans!! 😢
Wrong
Oh his father was so unaware at that time
Well, he is about to have a lifetime of anxiety. That will start with his trial and end with his life sentence. He is definitely going to have to toughen up for prison
maybe the father made the threat too
wouldn't it be great if the host of the show actually let the others speak instead of talking all over them?
why have guests on your show if you intend to be the only one expressing your opinions?
The woman that IS a guest..Jennifer,,in all the debates its always stuck in that fake smile???
She's continually grinning while they discuss tragic events, she's inappropriate.
Hats off to those cops immediately looking into the over a year ago and TRYING to prevent this from happening.
