Who is Jennifer Crumbley? Ethan's mom thanked Donald Trump for her right to bear arms
Charges have been filed against 15-year-old Oxford School shooter Ethan Crumbley, who is being arraigned as an adult terrorist. His parents James and Jennifer Crumbley have reportedly urged their teen son to plead the fifth while facing the investigators. Meanwhile, several shocking details about Ethan's family are emerging in the media, prompting many to accuse his parents of the massacre.
One of the major allegations is that Ethan's father had bought him the handgun he used in the school, while his mother boasted of taking him to practice shooting. Internet sleuths have now found an open letter from Ethan's mother to former President Donald Trump, where she thanked him for allowing her right to bear arms. Posted in her personal blog in November 2016, the letter also criticized illegal immigrant parents whose "kids don’t care about learning and threaten to kill." It bore the signatory as "A hard-working Middle Class Law Abiding Citizen who is sick of getting f**ked in the ass and would rather be grabbed by the p**sy.” The post was also shared by Ethan's father James Crumbley, who said, "My wife can be spot on. Sometimes."

Who is Jennifer Crumbley?
Jennifer Crumbley, 43, happens to be the second wife of James R Crumbley, 45, and Ethan is their only child together. The family resides in a small home in Oxford, Michigan, not far from Oxford High School where the mass shooting took place.
Jennifer Crumbley reportedly works as a real estate broker in the area. Although the family did not explicitly express their political affiliations, they are believed to be active advocates of gun rights. In her 2016 open letter to the-then President-elect Donald Trump, Jennifer wrote,
"Mr. Trump, I actually love that you are a bad public speaker because that showed sincerity, and humility. You changed your mind, and you said ‘so what.’ You made the famous ‘grab them in the pussy’ comment, did it offend me? No. I say things all the time that people take the wrong way, do I mean them, not always. Do I agree that you should of [sic] shown your tax returns? No. I don’t care what you do or maybe don’t pay in taxes, I think those are personal and if the Gov’t can lock someone up over $10,000 of unpaid taxes and you slipped on by, then that shows the corruption.”
Emphasizing that she was not racist, Jennifer went on to express support for Trump's proposition on the border wall. "The Wall. The famous Wall. See Mr. Trump, I support that wall. I am not racist. In fact my grandfather came straight off the boat in Italy," she wrote. She also added, "I have high hopes you will shut down Big Pharma, make health care affordable for me and my MIDDLE CLASS family again. I hope you uncover the cure for cancer, because there is one, we all know it, but you are the one to prove it."
Talking about her gun rights, Jennifer Crumbley wrote, "As a female and a Realtor, thank you for allowing my right to bear arms. Allowing me to be protected if I show a home to someone with bad intentions. Thank you for respecting that Amendment."
She further mentioned, "My son struggles daily, and my teachers tell me they hate teaching it but they HAVE to. Their pay depends on these stupid fucking test scores. I have to pay for a Tutor, why? Because I can’t figure out 4th grade math. I used to be good at math. I can’t afford a Tutor, in fact I sacrifice car insurance to make sure my son gets a good education and hopefully succeeds in life. My parents teach at a school where their kids come from illegal immigrant parents. Most of their parents are locked up. They don’t care about learning and threaten to kill my mom for caring about their grades."
While this letter is grabbing headlines at present, a few other videos shared by the Crumbley family is also being criticized as 'bad parenting'. In one old video from a few years back, Ethan can be seen being filmed by his parents, while his mother eggs him on to try some spicy horseradish despite his apathy. As he reacts badly to the extremely pungent taste, the parents can be heard laughing out loud in the background.
In another video from October 20, James Crumbley can be seen pranking his wife while trying to fix a light bulb. The father of two pretends to be dying from electrocution and as his wife freaks out, he gets up and reveals the prank to her. The entire episode is being filmed by Ethan who gestures a thumbs up in the end.
Ethan's parents have not yet interacted with the media or released any statement regarding the shocking incident.
