New article today from USA Today

quote:

PARKLAND, Fla. — Broward County deputies received at least 18 calls warning them about Nikolas Cruz from 2008 to 2017, including concerns that he "planned to shoot up the school" and other threats and acts of violence before he was accused of killing 17 people at a high school.

The warnings, made by concerned people close to Cruz, came in phone calls to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, records show. At least five callers mentioned concern over his access to weapons, according to the documents. None of those warnings led to direct intervention.

In February 2016, neighbors told police that they were worried he “planned to shoot up the school” after seeing alarming pictures on Instagram showing Cruz brandishing guns.

About two months later, an unidentified caller told police that Cruz had been collecting guns and knives. The caller was “concerned (Cruz) will kill himself one day and believes he could be a school shooter in the making,” according to call details released by the Sheriff's Office.

A second cousin asked police to take away Cruz's guns after his mom died Nov. 1. "Nikolas is reported to have rifles and it is requested that (deputies) recover these weapons," the dispatcher noted from the call.

The new details add to the growing list of red flags missed by law enforcement officials, including the FBI, in the months leading up to last week's mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The FBI is reviewing why a tip last month called into the agency about Cruz's desire to kill people was not forwarded to Miami agents for investigation.

There’s got to be a more fitting term than the grossly understated “red flags” for these circumstances.

Way to go assholes.

Why would anyone be angry at the nra when there are plenty of actual people directly responsible?

Other than using this tragedy as an opportunity to capitalize on a long held political goal?

That would be a good sign that the leftists are realizing that this incident wasn't about a gun problem.

I doubt that will happen though. CNN and the left has gone all in at this point. It will be tough for them to come around to their senses even though that's the sane thing to do. They are doing just what BLM did. Wrong fricking hill.

He figured out early that he could use his liberal position to protect himself and the sheep fell for it.

He called for more police power and blamed guns.

Libs ate it up. He's shielded now. I hope that changes.

That Sheriff is a Grade A prick, by the way. He showboated on that stage, made @DLoesch the bad guy after his dept ignored warning after warning, and then, waited until after the townhall to release info that his own armed Deputy listened to children get slaughtered outside.
Legal gun owners, represented by @DLoesch, were villified on that stage when the man most responsible after the shooter had the audacity to lecture *US* on *OUR* culpability. Enraging.
How about you do your job instead of trying to take guns away from law-abiding Americans. Gun owners were asked this week to forfeit rights by law enforcement who didn't keep children safe. If you're not going to prevent or stop a shooter, someone has to.
In a sane world, it should've been that Sheriff getting yelled at by those students and parents. He should've needed an armed escort off that stage, not @DLoesch. Instead, inexplicably, he was cheered.
And where the hell was CNN when that was happening? Was there nobody there willing to provide a reality check on law enforcement's role in this massacre? They had an agenda: put the target on @DLoesch's back. And they let the Sheriff shift his own culpability onto her.
