Did the progressive policy of "not arresting minority students" cost 17 lives in Florida

He is DACA. He was the state-seized Latino child, dumped into a white home to be raised by state paid fosters, who then died.

A perfect example of what worthless lying scum the Right are!!!
He was NOT DACA, he is WHITE and not ever undocumented, the family that adopted him was named Cruz and he took their last name. But you knew that all along!!!

Cruz was not a minority, "statistically" or otherwise.

Nor is the policy you refer to specific to "minority students", but applies to all students.

Cruz is Hispanic according to the Miami Herald. And yes it applies to all students but it was proposed by Jesse Jackson and NAACP worked to bring it about. He blamed Trayvon's suspension from school as leading to his death. Also Holder wanted to stop the school pipeline to prison phenomena by implementing these policies.

"Jackson also said Martin's case illustrated the high number of black students who are suspended from school. A report issued by the U.S. Department of Education last month found that black students are more than three times as likely as their white peers to be suspended or expelled. Martin had been suspended from school for having a baggie that contained marijuana residue shortly before he was killed.

"We must stop suspending our children," Jackson said, asking the crowd to repeat: "Invest in them. Educate them."

Trayvon Martin Rally in Miami Draws Thousands

Is the Miami Herald the authority on who is or is not hispanic?

Nikolas Cruz was adopted by the Cruz family at birth. His adoptive father may have been hispanic, but he was not.

My aunt adopted two Chinese girls at birth - does their adoption make them Eastern-european semitic?

Not true. He was Latino, his teachers said he was *uncomfortable* with his latino heritage..most likely because his adoptive parents were white. Or trashy. The state loves to place crazy kids with pedophiles, who knows what the issue was.

But he was born a Latino...

A perfect example of how the worthless lying scum Right just keep lying even after being exposed to the truth!!!!!

The AR-15 in the hands of a killer killed 17 students in Florida.

The AR-15 in the hands of a killer killed 58 and injured 500+ in Vegas.

Also, An Orlando nightclub, An elementary school in Newtown, Conn, a Texas church.

Starting to see a pattern?

The pattern is that it is unusual for the AR-15 to be used in crimes.

As usual, you’re totally full of shit.

Aurora: AR-15
Orlando: AR-15
Las Vegas: AR-15
Sandy Hook: AR-15
San Bernardino: AR-15
Sutherland Springs: AR-15
Parkland: AR-15

by failing to report on child shootings we cease to think about it and come to accept it as an unfortunate fact of life. the less we talk about child shootings the less we talk about why they are shot and what we might do to help them, and the less public pressure there is on politicians to fix it.

Everyone knows that the NRA murdered those kids.

Glad you finally admitted it, after all they paid money to train Cruz in marksmanship.

Link

The NRA donated $10,000 to help train the Parkland shooting suspect to use a rifle

Cruz was, according to the Associated Press, a member of the school’s four-person varsity marksmanship team, which received a $10,000 grant from the NRA in 2016.

ThinkProgress????

Seriously?

Cruz was NOT a minority!
He was adopted and took his adoptive parent's last name.

George Zimmerman was Hispanic, yet he's a white Hispanic. So he's no different than Nicolas Cruz to you folks.

Again Cruz is not Hispanic, not even white Hispanic, but that will never stop thr lying scum Right from lying about him.

Seems the truth about this is coming out.
It doesn't look at all like the NRA murdered those kids.
It was a combination of incompetent Sheriff and his deputies, and liberal laws that allowed a kid, who should have been in jail, to roam the halls of this H.S.
