The local pd wasn't notified of the threat, THE FBI WAS and they sat on the info.
They've been too busy plotting against Trump to worry about some lunatic.
Right the FBI were more concerned with hookers peeing on a bed than public safety.
I honestly think that leftists love these shootings because it gives them another opportunity to try and disarm the people. Their agenda demands that government can control everyone and that means stopping people from fighting against tyranny. That is the very reason our forefathers wanted the second amendment.
The Left certainly never passes up on any opportunity to try to pass more gun laws. A gun law is the solution to every killing. 20,000 already on the books, this killer screaming for attention and known forwards and backwards as a kid off to deep end by both the FBI, the local police and the school and yes, what would have stopped everything? Another gun law! To be fair, just what is the school supposed to do, suspend or eject a kid for errant personal attitudes on his own time? We would have tens of millions of kids suspended and ejected from school---- an even bigger problem. And what should the police have done? Arrest him for maybe committing a crime some day in the future? And what should the FBI do, investigate him more? Keep an agent outside the home of every radical and extremist in the country 24/7?
People in this country honestly do not f---king think anymore. The ONE person(s) who SHOULD have done something is the kid's parents or guardians. Get the kid some help, treatment or something. No guarantees there either.
SO WHAT DOES THE LEFT COME UP WITH? You guessed it. They exploit the situation by putting a bunch of their own kids up to politicizing the affair with signs. Go after those evil, bad guns! I'm waiting for the anti-NRA rhetoric to begin again. BTW, the main course of the NRA is safety and training with guns. The main course of Leftists is prosecuting children for doodling pictures of guns on a book cover, eating pastry that loosely resembles a gun and going "bang-bang" with their finger. Yep, it's the GOVERNMENT'S duty and responsibility to fix the situation---- to stop an unknown and untold number of kids from doing something they haven't done yet. So now they have put a bunch of poor kids up to protesting school shootings, BOYCOTTING their schools, and refusing to go back to school until the government "acts to solve the problem."
Students to Boycott Schools Until Congress Acts on Guns
This should be good. Our idiot politicians in DC are SO GOOD at writing brainless laws. Here comes Gun Law 20,001. People, rather than taking responsibility for their own lives just keep BEGGING for Big Brother. "Take my freedoms away, World, because I cannot be trusted with them!"
Exactly. Parents are the ones who could have stopped it by getting the kid some professional help. We have too many parents willing to let the state raise their children. Liberals like Hillary have made comments to the effect that the state should have the lead role in raising children and the parents should merely play a supporting role. Well, the state can't raise children any better than they get to anything else.
Most school shooters have some things in common:
History of mental illness.
History of taking meds early on for ADHD and other conditions.
History of behavior or language that clearly indicates they think about harming others.
Being expelled at the time of the shootings.
So, when a kid makes threats or otherwise demonstrates behavior that indicates they may be dangerous, clearly they should never be left unsupervised and should be in therapy ASAP. Instead, we do the opposite. The kids get no help, they are often left alone at home when the school kicks them out and it's no surprise that some go off the deep end.
Common sense rarely plays into the school's plans to handle problem students. It's almost like they increase the odds of shootings by the way they make the troubled kids feel like outcasts.
I'm in no way excusing their behavior, much like the left does. It's never the gun's fault. It's the shooter's fault, pure and simple. However, parents are responsible for their children. Schools have a responsibility to do right by all the children left in their care every day. Even the FBI ignored the danger this kid posed. Everyone drops the ball on their responsibility and now we blame the NRA and all gun owners, as if another law would do shit to stop these crazies.
Laws that were already on the books in Florida were once touted as the answer to stopping this very thing. Laws fail. All more strict laws would do is tie the hands of the good people who would lose their ability to protect themselves against these crazy people.
