FBI Was Warned About A School Shooting Threat

Last fall, a Mississippi bail bondsman and frequent YouTube vlogger noticed an alarming comment left on one of his videos. "I'm going to be a professional school shooter," said a user named Nikolas Cruz. The YouTuber, 36-year-old Ben Bennight, alerted the FBI, emailing a screenshot of the comment to the bureau's tips account. He also flagged the comment to YouTube, which removed it from the video. Agents with the bureau's Mississippi field office got back to him "immediately," Bennight said, and conducted an in-person interview the following day, on Sept. 25. "They came to my office the next morning and asked me if I knew anything about the person," Bennight told BuzzFeed News. "I didn't. They took a copy of the screenshot and that was the last I heard from them." FBI agents contacted Bennight again Wednesday, after a 19-year-old named Nikolas Cruz allegedly opened fire at a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in south Florida, killing at least 17 people.

They were too busy covering up a coup attempt

Let's be real here, do we really expect the government to investigate every oddball comment on the internet?
It's not possible or practical.

Well, the FBI was busy with other things last year.

FBI too busy instigating "terrorists" online to care about this.

I'm thinking that in my younger days I might make a comment like that just to be edgy and attempting to be humorous - but I think it would have to be in the context of some obvious joking situation with a group of friends that understood it for what it was.
I can't see myself making a comment like that in a random situation or amongst strangers.

Why do we even have an FBI if they don’t do their real job and instead are used as a political weapon?

They were too busy wiretapping Trump Tower

There are lots of instances where the FBI is warned, but saying something inflammatory or suspicious on social media isn't a crime in most instances. And I'm sure that the FBI gets tons of reports like this and aren't capable of hashing all of them out.

Someone should be held accountable from the FBI

What, exactly, is the FBI, or any LEO, supposed to do about a comment on a YouTube video?
Posted on 2/15/18 at 7:32 am to Federal Tiger
Giving the FBI a very hesitant benefit of the doubt, were they supposed to surveil him for over a year even aftee he was expelled?

This comes up after every shooting or terrorist attack. The fbi is useless.

FBI was too busy spying on TRUMP.

Replying to @RedactedTonight
Almost all "terror" plots are created by the FBI as part of its business model.
What is the business of the FBI? Extracting tax. What does it need to do that? A stable threat. Prob? Real terrorists are sporadic & make FBI look weak. Solution? Make them.

The FBI is giving guns to the mentally ill to attack people then leaping in to save the day, cameras rolling. What a bunch of jerks.

The FBI is 'manufacturing terrorism cases' on a greater scale than ever before Caroline Simon

The FBI has ramped up its use of sting operations in terrorism cases, dispatching undercover agents to pose as jihadists and ensnare Americans suspected of backing ISIS, aka the Islamic State, Daesh, or ISIL. On Thursday, roughly 67% of prosecutions involving suspected ISIS supporters include evidence from undercover operations, according to The New York Times.
quote:
They're manufacturing terrorism cases," Michael German, a former undercover agent with the FBI who now researches national-security law at New York University's Brennan Center for Justice, told The Times. "These people are five steps away from being a danger to the United States."

Downs also said that the FBI often targets particularly vulnerable people, such as those with mental disabilities. "Very often, they [the FBI] target people who are genuinely psychotic, who are taking medication," he said.

If the You Tube guy would have been a Democrat, and if he had told the FBI that the Cruz was a Republican, the FBI would have had a dozen FISA court orders and would have been all in this guy's business.

Too busy covering HillDogs arse and trying to frame Trump. No time for the citizens safety.

Outrageous. Just like they knew about Mateen, Ruiz, and the Tsarnaevs. Absolutely outrageous. THIS is what everyone should be talking about. THIS and what is going that began in the late 90s that wasn’t going on before.
