The lawyers have a very easy ‘wrongful death’ lawsuits against Broward County

If Nikolas Cruz had been arrested for his prior criminal behavior he would not have passed a background check for a firearm purchase. The issue was/is not the background check; the issue was/is the lack of a prior arrest. Hence, the Broward County school and law enforcement policy is ultimately what failed.
I don’t say this lightly, but the lawyers have the easiest case for ‘wrongful death’ lawsuits in the history of this type of litigation. The county policy constructed by public officials (School Board and Superintendent), and the county law enforcement policy that was specifically and intentionally designed to ignore unlawful behavior (Broward Sheriff), is the very definition of intentional gross negligence.
Gross negligence requires a pre-disposition to create a system that is inherently dangerous. That is exactly what happened in Broward County, Florida.
Despite specific warnings that unstable and/or violent students would likely slip through the system as a result of intentional ‘willful blindness’; and despite specific warnings by police officers that these policies were dangerous; community leaders, district school administration and local police officials executed those policies anyway.
The resulting loss of life was entirely predictable; and it was predicted.
It will be very important for the families to screen out the lawyers carefully. Many of the top lawyers are aligned with high-ranking political Democrats. Political lawyers like John Morgan (Morgan and Morgan) are part of the ideological alignment (with Democrat politicians) that created the system of policies – that led to the deaths of the students. Morgan would be a terrible lawyer for the families because he, along with many others would hold conflicts.
In my humble opinion, the victim families need to get good lawyers who are not part of the political system within the state of Florida; and must not -EVER- hire Democrats. There will be massive political pressure around the entire issue with all those who constructed the schemes being protected by the same system that needs to protect former President Obama.
ps. My apologies but my experience in trying to stop this years ago was met with hostility and the most intense political hate imaginable. As a result, I dislike the characters and officials around this story immensely. The Sheriff, the School Superintendent and every member of the Broward County School Board are complicit. They deserve no quarter.
My prayers are for the victims, their families and those who are hostage to these policies.

I said the same thing to my wife. Those in charge did nothing to stop this when they had the chance. Plus, allowing people just walk into school that have no business being there. I hope they get their asses nailed to the wall.

Damages will be limited when suing this state. I think it caps at $200,000.00 or $300,000.00. Better than nothing, though, if successful.

This is actually going to be harder than it appears. There is some judicial precedent out there in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that holds the public duty doctrine does not include providing police services to specific individuals. This is important when viewed in conjunction with qualified immunity, which shields public officials from liability where there is no clearly established violation of a constitutional right. Sounds crazy but our government, especially law enforcement, makes it extremely difficult to sue them and prevail.

I'd sue the FBI
The FBI and the Broward County Sheriff's Office backed off the criminal behavior of high school students due to the new Boward County policies promulgated in 2013 by the School Board initiated and supported by Obama himself though this EO.

If we can't hold them accountable we don't need them

Sounds simple right?
Then you get the lawsuits that allege the police are profiling the poor victim and liberals scream the police are monsters.
Tell me how the police win there?
Do something, definitely get sued, don't do something maybe get sued.

Why does this remind me of the policies from Miami-Dade County, next to Broward, that suspended Trayvon Martin for offenses that should have sent him to Juvie?

You don’t need guns. The police will protect you!

I don't see where the county ignored info, it's The FBI who failed to investigate important information.

Some states have limits on how much you can sue the state govt for IIRC.
Posted on 2/20/18 at 11:38 am to Sody Cracker
I’m guessi attorneys fees aren’t included in the cap.

Schools systematically report expulsions and other items in such a manner that they don't damage key statistics. This could be the angle used to show they acted outside the bounds of their duties. Certainly the state has regulations on accurate reporting.
In any case, I believe that school district is about to get crushed. I wouldn't be surprised to see the superintendent retire very soon.

They should be charged with accessory to murder for failing to act.. the entire field office, especially the agent that took the complaint and did zero.
