The survivors sued the FBI under the Federal Tort Claims Act, arguing that the FBI was negligent in not following up on tips indicating Cruz was violent.

A key issue in the lawsuit was a tip on the FBI’s Public Access Line on Jan. 5, 2018, little more than a month before the Valentine’s Day shooting. The tipster claimed to know then 19-year-old Cruz and notified the FBI that he soon would try to kill others, most likely at his former high school in Parkland, Florida.

The tipster also said Cruz was staying with a family that gave him access to guns.

“I know he’s going to explode,” the woman said on the FBI’s tip line. She added that Cruz “was going to slip into a school and start shooting the place up.”

The FBI never investigated the tip and failed to inform the FBI’s field office in Miami, Florida, according to a ruling by U.S. District Judge William P. Dimitrouleas. The Justice Department had tried to get the lawsuit dismissed on behalf of the FBI.

An earlier tip, in September 2017, came from a bail bondsman in Mississippi who notified the FBI he found a message on YouTube that said, “I’m going to be a professional shooter.” The user name was “nikolas cruz.”

Two FBI agents interviewed the bondsman but could not link the message to a specific person and closed the investigation.



$130 million to families of victims at this high school.

$88 million to families of the victims at that black church in Charleston.

These mass shootings are getting expensive.

Are there any regulations we could pass that would reduce these mass shootings?
 
No, you twist the consequence to fit your worldview, the issue beyond the shooting itself, the only issue, was the near total dereliction of duty by FBI to act upon its charter, perhaps they were just to busy at the time helping communist China, and its agent, Bill Gates, along with the democratic party, subvert the laws and societal norms of the United States, in all of the above's concerted efforts to advance the cause of social justice! ;)

Yes......ban "gun free school zones....." that would end mass public shootings in schools......not that they are common events anyway.........

Also? Pass a law that makes it illegal for democrat party judges, prosecutors and politicians to release violent gun criminals over and over again...the ones doing almost all of the shootings in democrat party controlled cities....

Hey, come on man.....the FBI is super busy monitoring prayer groups and parents at School Board meetings.....
 
Probably wont improve anything, too busy chasing Moms at schoolboard meetings.
 
Have you got a legitimate news link? Or did you pull this out of your ass again?

We'll get most of it back in income taxes.

Based on that information, there isn't much the FBI could do. Arresting people, based on an anonymous tip is unconstitutional.

Yeah, end no guns in schools. That would eliminate most of them when the pricks who love shooting fish in a barrel suddenly find bullets coming back.

Yes. Get rid of all the guns in the hands of ratbags. Isn't that bleeding obvious?
You just don't get it for some reason.
