"Black judge dismisses all criminal charges against #Virginia black assistant principal who did nothing when she was told a black 6-year-old had brought a gun to school. Six-year-old then shot and nearly killed white teacher, Abby #Zwerner. Anything fishy here? No photos in the #nytimes story, of course. Could have been all white people for all you'd know." #terrorism #domesticterrorism #corrupt #corruption #corruptjudge #corruptjustice #racism #bigotry #discrimination https://archive.is/57w4p https://archive.is/xQbu9 Raw text: "Charges Dismissed for Ex-Assistant Principal After Shooting by 6-Year-Old Prosecutors had argued that Ebony Parker, a former assistant principal at a #Virginia elementary school, had failed to act on warnings that a child had a gun in his backpack.

Add The #NewYorkTimes on #Google A judge dismissed charges on Thursday against a former assistant principal in #Virginia who was accused of failing to act before a 6-year-old child who had brought a gun to school shot a teacher. The case against the former school official, Ebony Parker, began on Jan. 6, 2023, when the boy in first grade shot his teacher, Abigail #Zwerner, at #Richneck Elementary School in #NewportNews. Ms. #Zwerner survived but sustained serious injuries after the bullet pierced her left hand, punctured her lung and narrowly missed her heart. Witnesses in the trial testified that Ms. #Parker had received warnings that the student had brought a gun, and prosecutors said she had a duty to intervene and did not. Ms. Parker was charged with eight felony counts of child abuse and neglect. She has since resigned from her position at Richneck. Prosecutors had argued that Ms. Parker alone had the authority under school policy to intervene by ordering a full search of the boy. By failing to do so, they argued, she was criminally liable for the violence that followed. Curtis #Rogers, Ms. Parker’s attorney, argued that she did not bear primary responsibility for preventing the shooting. That duty, he argued, lay with the teacher, Ms. Zwerner, and those directly in contact with the student during the school day. Had those people genuinely believed the student posed an immediate threat, they could have taken action to prevent it, such as separating the student from the rest of his class, he contended. “Based upon their actions, there was no crisis, there was no gun,” Mr. Rogers said.
