Santa Fe High School shooter's parents not found liable in civil trial

On Monday, August 19, a Texas jury found the parents of Dimitrios Pagourtzis not liable for bearing any responsibility for the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting in Santa Fe, Texas. If you’ll recall, a then-17-year-old Pagourtzis used his father’s shotgun and his mother’s .38 handgun to kill eight students and two teachers, while injuring 13 others. The civil suit was filed by the families of…

The simple fact of life is that everybody is born an innocent baby and that you are built off of life experience which is given to you by the people around you. Most mass murderers are subject of abuse and the rest are the abusers. You can have freedom fighters and terrorists which are politically motivated, edgy kids who want to kill because it looks cool in GTA or in online videos. These kids are often abused or really radicalized online which is of course a form of abuse. Often times they just think another rampager is cool and what to emulate them. The most common being Tarrant clones and Columbine copycats because of the massive amounts of glorification they get online. If they survive the murders they will realize what they have done and come to completely regret it like Kip Kinkel, Micheal Ryan, Dimitrios Pagourtzis and Ethan Crumbly. Often they will make up or follow some form of ideology that in part makes them do it like that Tarrant clones. I also believe they do this so they can convince themselves they are the good guy. But the most rare type is an abusive murderer who is a complete piece of psycho shit who have no problems like Thomas Hamiltion and Martin Bryant. They just want to kill for the same reason they fuck kids, to get power. These ones almost always have a long history of ignored abuse they never get punished for as most people don't care about the abuse of someone who isn't them. This is the number one problem with the world and what creates the other murderers. Nobody cares about pedophiles and abusers because it's been so ingrained in our cultures for a long time. The countries where mass murder is the most common are they countries where you are most likely to be abused as a child. Most people don't care about giving their own children something harmful like the mountains of harming content on YouTube. So is it any wonder everyone isn't up in arms over the fact that the feds coverup pedophile stories like Epsteins island and Covenant when they don't even give a fuck about their own kids? We can blame guns or video games or whatever the scapegoat will be in the coming years but the simple, undeniable fact is that abuse creates and abuser. Out of all my time researching mass attacks I can safely say that I believe that 99% of them are sufferers of child abuse. It really makes me wonder why nobody would choose to fix this problem when it would be in everyone's best interests worldwide to do so until I realized why so many shows like South Park exist. They exist to capitalize on and normalize this abuse. Homer Simpson abusing his own son is just a funny gag right? It never leads to Bart killing kids in a school in the show unlike real life where there will be long lasting mental problems so people will be desensitized to this abuse and even begin to find it funny. On top of all this they are completely paranoid and therefore won't leave the house to seek friends all that often. Who can blame them with how crazy many people have gotten? Sure you could go to a therapist who will just exploit you for money and hop you up on pills that don't help. I do believe things have been getting better in society in this regard but we still have much to work on such as empathy for the criminals while also giving them much harsher punishments. We really need to stop scapegoating and focus on these issues. We need to be able to learn from these peoples stories as well and many governments are very unwilling to release the information we need to do our own independent for "some reason". We need to put them in their places for the betterment of mankind.

A lawsuit accusing the parents of a former Texas high school student of negligence for not securing weapons he allegedly used in a 2018 shooting at his campus that killed 10 people was set to go before a jury on Wednesday. Opening statements were expected in Galveston, Texas, in the civil trial over the lawsuit filed by family members of seven of those killed and four of the 13 people wounded in the attack at Santa Fe High School in May 2018. Dimitrios Pagourtzis was charged with capital murder for the shooting. Pagourtzis was a 17-year-old student when authorities said he killed eight students and two teachers at the school, located about 35 miles (55 kilometers) southeast of Houston. The now 23-year-old’s criminal trial has been on hold as he’s been declared incompetent to stand trial and has remained at the North Texas State Hospital in Vernon since December 2019. The lawsuit is seeking to hold Pagourtzis and his parents, Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos, financially liable for the shooting. The families are pursuing at least $1 million in damages.

Check Your State: Here Are The Active Shooter Training Requirements For Schools And Law Enforcement

— By Lexi Churchill and Lomi Kriel | February 8, 2024 | Frontline

After a teenage gunman killed 10 people at Santa Fe High School in 2018, Texas lawmakers mandated that all school police officers receive training to better prepare them for the possibility of confronting a mass shooter. The law, which required that such training occur only once, didn’t apply to thousands of state and local law enforcement officers who did not work in schools.

Four years later, officers who descended on Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School, a vast majority of whom were not school police, repeatedly acted in ways that ran contrary to what active shooter training teaches, waiting 77 minutes to engage the gunman. An investigation published in December by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and FRONTLINE revealed that about 30% of the 116 state and local officers who responded in May 2022 did not get active shooter training after graduating from police academies. Of those who had, many received such instruction only once in their careers, which at least eight police training experts say is not enough.

As part of the investigation, the news organizations conducted a nationwide analysis to examine active shooter training requirements and found critical gaps in preparedness between children and law enforcement. While at least 37 states require active shooter-related drills in schools, typically on a yearly basis, no states mandate such training for officers annually.

Instead, decisions about active shooter training are often left to individual school districts and law enforcement departments, creating a patchwork approach in which some proactively provide such instruction and others do not.

The month after the news organizations’ investigation was published, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s office released a scathing report that detailed a slew of failures during the Robb Elementary response. While visiting Uvalde, he told reporters that law enforcement agencies should immediately prioritize active shooter training.

The federal report recommended that officers receive eight hours of such instruction annually. Only Texas, however, comes close to meeting the Department of Justice’s suggested standards, according to the newsrooms’ nationwide analysis. Last year, the state mandated that all officers, not just school police, take 16 hours of active shooter training every two years.

About a dozen states also increased training requirements after the Uvalde shooting, but many continue to fall short of what police training experts say is needed.

The gaps in training requirements begin before officers’ first day on the job.

While police academies in nearly every state require some form of active shooter training, five states — California, Georgia, Ohio, Washington and Vermont — do not require it for all recruits. A spokesperson for the police standards agency in Washington did not respond to a request for comment. A Vermont spokesperson did not respond to questions about whether expanding active shooter training to all officers in police academies is being considered. Officials with police standards agencies in the other three states said they are considering adding active shooter training to their police academy curriculum.

Once officers graduate from police academies, the lack of training requirements becomes more pronounced.

Only two states — Texas and Michigan — have laws that require active shooter training for all officers once on the job. While Texas requires recurring instruction, training in Michigan is given once after officers graduate from police academies. Some states mandate active shooter training one time in a particular year, leaving out officers who were not employed at the time. Other states require training only for school police, as Texas did before the Uvalde shooting, and only two of them — Illinois and Mississippi — require it more than once.

While a majority of states require frequent active shooter-related drills in schools, 13 don’t require such instruction. They include Colorado and Connecticut, which had two of the worst mass shootings in history: the 1999 Columbine school massacre and the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. Spokespeople for the education departments in both states said districts are conducting drills despite the absence of a state mandate but did not provide records that confirm their assertions.

Active shooter training can be expensive, but state lawmakers should commit to providing the necessary instruction if they want law enforcement to be better prepared for a mass shooting, police training experts said. John Curnutt, assistant director at Texas State University’s Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center, said Uvalde is a “horrible example” of when training was needed but hadn’t been practiced enough.

“There’s a higher price that’s paid than the one that we probably could have paid upfront to get ready for it,” Curnutt said.

About This Research:

To confirm the most up-to-date active shooter training requirements for law enforcement and schools across the country as of 2023, we contacted education departments and law enforcement standards agencies in every state. We examined both state laws and regulations.

In our analysis of schools, we included all mandated lockdown and active shooter drills, though some education departments said other types of drills can help prepare students and staff as well. In addition to the 37 states that explicitly require active shooter-related drills, we noted several others that have laws mandating safety drills but allow districts to decide which types of drills to conduct. We did not include those in our total count because the options could range from active shooter drills to earthquake drills.

For law enforcement, we collected information about how many hours of active shooter training are required for recruits going through police academies and for officers once they are on the job. We also asked for statewide data showing how many officers had taken such courses, but few states could provide that information. While we included only states’ current training mandates, four states — Alabama, North Carolina, Maine and Pennsylvania — required officers to train in a particular year but then not again, meaning that only those who were employed at that time received the one-time instruction.

HOUSTON — Attorneys for a man accused of fatally shooting 10 people at a Texas high school in 2018 are seeking to have the judge handling the case removed, accusing him of bias for pushing to have experts deem the former student competent to stand trial.

On May 18, 2018, 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis surrendered to police after he killed 10 people during a 30-minute rampage inside two art lab classrooms at Sante Fe High School in Texas. While in custody at the Sante Fe Police Department, he made a comment to authorities suggesting the shooting wasn’t entirely indiscriminate. The statement included in the Probable Cause Affidavit reads that Pagourtzis “advised he did not shoot students he did like so he could have his story told.”

Maddening testimony from the father of the Santa Fe High shooter

Late last week, the father of Dimitrios Pagourtzis testified in the civil trial concerning the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting in Santa Fe, Texas. As I discussed in my previous post, the lawsuit alleges that Pagourtzis’ parents were negligent in failing to address his mental health issues and in not properly securing the firearms used in the shooting. As I’ve given away in the headline, I…
