In a hearing held early Saturday morning, the prosecutor who has indicted the parents of Ethan Crumbley -- accused of murdering four high school classmates -- successfully convinced a judge to order the couple to post $500,000 bail each as they face involuntary manslaughter charges.

Early Saturday morning James and Jennifer Crumbley were taken into custody at a Detroit-area industrial park after fleeing with $4000 in cash instead of turning themselves into police after their indictment on four counts of involuntary manslaughter apiece.

Appearing on CNN early Saturday morning after the arrest of the parents of the Oxford High School shooters who appeared to be on the run, terrorism expert Juliette Kayyem explained that the couple can expect new charges beyond the involuntary manslaughter charges they are each already facing.

Very early Saturday morning, James and Jennifer Crumbley -- parents of Ethan Crumbley -- were taken into custody in Detroit, just 40 miles from the scene of Tuesday's shooting after a tipster spotted their car in an industrial park parking lot which led to a heavily-armed response from law enforcement officials and a SWAT team who surrounded the building.

The whereabouts of James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley, had remained unknown for much of Friday, prompting authorities in Oakland County, Michigan to consider them fugitives.

Prosecutors in Michigan filed charges against the parents of the 15-year-old Oxford High School shooting suspect, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Jennifer and James Crumbley were charged with four counts of homicide involuntary manslaughter.

Two recent high-profile verdicts that went against white defendants were "extraordinary cases" that don't represent the day-to-day reality that the judicial system perpetuates white supremacy, a report at Truthout laid out Friday.

In both the conviction of three men for murdering Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia and the civil suit holding white supremacists liable for the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in 2017, jury-selection processes were skewed to whites.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said on Thursday that he would introduce a "National Stand Your Ground Law" as a reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse's prosecution.

Gaetz made the announcement on his Firebrand podcast.

No observer of contemporary gun politics could fail to notice a jarring disconnect between the two very different trajectories of the gun rights movement today.

On the one hand, more states are allowing Americans to carry weapons in public without permits, and the gun-rights movement could be on the verge of a major Supreme Court victory. On the other, the National Rifle Association, which advocates on behalf of gun owners, faces an existential crisis that's mostly due to the NRA's own missteps.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is sponsoring a bill that would award the Congressional Gold Medal to Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Greene introduced HR6070 on Tuesday "[t]o award a Congressional Gold Medal to Kyle H. Rittenhouse, who protected the community of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot on August 25, 2020."

An attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse publicly cautioned his client to "change his name" instead of having an ongoing presence on television or in politics.

During an interview on Fox News, defense attorney Mark Richards was asked about several Republican members of Congress -- including Reps. Matt Gaetz (FL) and Madison Cawthorn (NC) -- who have offered internships to Rittenhouse.

Police were hunting a convicted felon who fled Atlanta's international airport after his gun accidentally discharged during a security search and sparked panic.

The incident on Saturday sent dozens of passengers scurrying for cover, and resulted in three injuries, none of which were caused by the discharge.

The first interview off of his acquittal, Kyle Rittenhouse sat down with Fox News host Tucker Carlson where he explained that he isn't a racist.

The Daily Beast got an advanced video of the interview set to air Monday night. According to the excerpt, Rittenhouse said that he absolutely supports Black Lives Matter and that the people he killed had nothing to do with race.
