Mass Shooter Parents at the Mercy of Selective Prosecution
May 18 2025
Another parent of a school shooter was hauled into court and charged with murderous violence caused by his 15-year-old daughter, Natalie Rupnow. The question that nobody seems to want to ask is why school shooter cases are becoming selective prosecution, especially in light of law enforcement’s refusal to consider the shooter’s “treatment” and psychiatric medications.
Jeffrey Rupnow is charged with giving a dangerous weapon to a person under 18 causing death. Rupnow’s daughter, Natalie, killed a student and teacher at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin in December of 2024 before taking her own life.
Natalie was the child of divorce, was not handling the separation well, began cutting herself and threatening to kill herself. Natalie was subsequently enrolled in therapy in July of 2022. In an effort do an activity together just months prior to the shooting, Jeffrey Rupnow and his daughter joined a gun club with Natalie posting she “loved every second of it.” Apparently because of Natalie’s positive interest in shooting, Jeffrey provided his daughter with the combination to his gun safe where Natalie’s firearms were kept.
While law enforcement in Madison seemed filled with delight at bringing these charges against Rupnow, one can only wonder if anyone is curious about what role Natalie’s “therapy” may have played. For instance, who was Natalie’s therapist and why hasn’t the public heard about Natalie’s “treatment” plan? Had Natalie been prescribed prescription psychiatric drugs? And, if so, what were they? Had Natalie been on a cocktail of drugs and for how long? Did the teenager experience any adverse effects from the drugs?
