[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's look at the failures here, as this kid was screaming "I'm going to kill" both literally and figuratively and was not taken seriously

1) enjoyed killing animals
2) in trouble with the law over 30X
3) expelled from school, could not bring a backpack because he brought bullets in it to school.
4) students thought if anyone was going to do this, it would be him
5) two people told the FBI on two different occasions. The FBI not only dropped the ball, they had to publicly apologize for dropping the ball
6) the killer SAID he was going to be school shooter.

The kid, on some level, wanted to be stopped. The FBI could have investigated further and didn't. Did the local police? Did they know? One armed officer in school over 3K is not even protection, so don't go there. It's like you locking your front door and leaving all other doors open. You have to secure the perimeter, and consider arrival and dismissal time as particularly high-risk.

The Cruz kids were adopted and had emotional issues when adopted, probably due to a horrendous upbringing prior. That's where sociopathy starts.

And, according to WAPO today, Florida social worker went to house to investigate (after gun threats) and determined that he was not a danger.

The problem is what you do when a kid is a sociopath or psychopath.
Where do you put him?
How do you help him?  Some say that we need more counselors in the schools.  That may be, but this kid was "getting help" from counselors and other mental health workers.  He was placed in a school for troubled youth for two years--and was sent back to the regular school.  Was he determined to have become untroubled?  He was shortly expelled from the regular school.

One thing for sure, he should not have been able to purchase a gun--but, he was on no list.  And, how do you prevent someone like this from making a bomb?  Setting a fire?  Running a car into a crowd?

Funny story about that:

This kid needed to be in a safe, secure place--safe for him and away from others.  We used to have those places.  No more.[/quote]
Yeah, liberals thought it was "unfair" or whatever to have crazies locked away from the rest of society. Now they're mostly living on the street.

Actually no that was Regan, he defunded a lot of Community Mental Health facilities[/quote]
