I have been looking, in vain, for information on killer Cruz’s birth mother. I have this sense that the amniotic environment may have been a gene altering soup of various controlled substances. ‘Just sayin...

I wonder if when ever these things happen if they are put up jobs. the problem the fbi has now is that they were caught with their pants down. they may have been told to stand down, let him do it. I think there is a faction in the swamp that will do anything to take guns away from the populous.The fact that someone comes forward to say I read the kids facebook and reported it to the fbi and they did nothing.
next time a person sees something similar, call the fbi and record the name date and time of call.
call the school and tell them it has been reported to the fbi. Then call the local police where the school is and tell them. And finally call a news paper in that community and give them all of the info and the facebook account to see. In this manner maybe the fbi will get off their butts.

One thing that has not been mentioned by the media or the socialist politicians that are hoping this will yet lead to the disarming of America is that everyone of these shootings involved a young kid on drugs (usually medication) for their troubled minds. From Columbine, to Newtown to the Florida school and smaller incidents that were prevented in each case every kid was being treated with Ritalin or some other anti-psychotic drug. Perhaps what should be done is removing from any school any kid on this kind of medication and monitoring closely where they are and what they are doing. Removing the use of one weapon will only direct the troubled individual to find another way. It isn't the type of weapon that is dangerous, it is the type of person.

Yeah...I listened to Stefan Molyneoux's podcast on this when I was out running errands this weekend. Frankly...I am amazed at 1-the depth of deception put out through the mainstream media right after the shooting, and 2-the totally across-the-board failure of multiple organizations who's charters are specifically to prevent this kind of thing.

When my neighbor was talking to me about how much they really knew about this kid I just said, "Sounds like it wasn't an accident." I still, sadly, think that's the case. Strange, strange days, my friends...

The legal definition of mental illness that would put these people behind bars is rather tenuous

Everyone knows, practically entirely from the media, that Cruz is the perpetrator of this horrendous act, and yet under the law he is still referred to in the media as the suspect. Under our system he could possibly not get a fair jury trial because everyone knows he's guilty and can identify him, so perhaps we should just let him go free. That really sounds stupid, even as stupid as allowing some people their freedom until they actually commit a crime. What if there was procedural error in his arrest that set him free, such as not advising him of his rights? Something has to change in our laws, something that actually has nothing to do with guns, magazines, or ammo. I would presume someone like Cruz would use some other deadly means to accomplish the same thing had a gun not been available. We need to find out why, not how or what, we already know how and what. Our leaders need to meet face to face, not twitter and tweet their disagreements, and not just use the media to try to gain public approval for dissention against each other, and more votes for reelection. They need to tell each other face to face why they so disrespect each other, and adjust their open opinions so they can accomplish the tasks we pay and elect them to do. It’s really all up to the people, but the people are too just to ignorant and prejudiced to make honest decisions at the polls. It’s a lot more than just liberal against conservative, “D” against “R”. Today we’re more into feeling good, feeling the power, bad mouthing the opposition..

Something has drastically changed since I was a kid, we used to take our guns to school in order to work on them in metal shop and/or woodshop, and no one got shot. Guns have been around for a long time. Guns haven't changed except for some basic differences, shape, color, feel, the way they look, insignificant as to what they can do. A single shot bolt action rifle can kill just as effectively as an AR15, or even an M16, but they all take someone to aim them and pull the trigger. Those differences have not changed the way we behave, our society is what has changed us. Hell, I even remember when our politicians seemed to openly respect each other, and people actually respected the laws we had, at least most of them. Whatever has changed is what has to be stopped.

We may need to make and enforce laws (all laws) that stop the crimes (all crimes) and the causes of those crimes, not more laws against the tools (whatever they are) used to commit those crimes. A crime is an action by man, it is not a tool used to commit a crime. Some crimes are committed (by man) without the use of a tool. Running people down with a vehicle is a crime, the vehicle is not a criminal, the driver is. Personally I attribute the biggest changes in society to our politicians, especially some of the current ones, they confuse the people with their graft and power struggles, and today openly disobey the same laws that we pay them to create. What can anyone expect from our youth and even so many adults when we demonstrate such disrespect for each other and disrespect for our laws in so many parts of our society today? Many people have got to be confused as hell. The question is, what are we going to do about it that actually works?

my wife's best girlfriend's grandson was one of the kid's shot and killed...heads should roll at FBI and the Broward county school system...if not some serious jail time....they force kids to attend the govt indoctrination program (public high school) and refuse to protect them...

Superintendents always act on the CYO method, they knew nothing. They FBI screwed up, but so did the schools. The parents let the schools control their kids, their kids became such that they only told peers what they knew. Lots of blame to go around, but it is hard to buck the mighty school system, who want nothing public about what they are doing, less parents get involved.

You gotta wonder how this kid got a gun legally. Kind of weird.

Me dino has me own way of translating "We missed the signs. We should have seen some of the signs" that's a quote
by a county commissioner whose name sounds like a product that's not PC. Who the hell is called Beam Furr?
Anyhoo, here's me own beam on what Beam said~
"We ignored the signs. We should have done something about the signs everyone is now saying they saw."

Agree completely with your comments, nick. Don't even need to read the article;^)

This wasn’t a case of “we missed the signs”. This guy was reported to the FBI in September for saying he wanted to be a professional school shooter in a post on YouTube. He made the post using his actual name, but the FBI said they couldn’t figure out who posted the comment. Then in January of this year, someone who knew him contacted the FBI and said the guy was stockpiling guns and was a likely school shooter. Two direct reports made to the FBI specifically naming the guy and they did NOTHING.

I have not read a single word beyond a headline or listened to any info on this, so I'm completely ignorant.

Seeing the headlines without having actual information, it's amazing to me how when any rare costly peril happens in any context there are always Monday morning quarterbacks. If they were responsible for validating that circuit board, reading the military reports, or whatever, the peril never would have happened. But bad stuff will always happen. Ghastly accounts of something like someone dying in a freak elevator accident are not actionable. They can only cause over-reaction.

Kids can be passionate for a cause, even a wrong cause.If they're not, they may be dead in the head.

Rabbits are stealing food from the garden. Stop planting food! Don't kill the rabbits, way too cruel -- and, what about Easter?

Our system is a lot of people that insist it "wasn't their fault". Millions in the bureaucracy, so who can disprove their claim?

$100s of billions later... no one can "connect the dots". Do we really want to believe the bullshit that this is a "lack of resources", or is it more probable that it's lazy civil servants counting hours and days to retirement instead of looking at anonymous tips.

This kid was programmed for disaster. Who knows what he experienced pre-birth from substance abuse by the birth mother. He had mental health issues and was on medications meant to control anger and violence, but what we've discovered, thanks to several of these shootings, is that those medications can often have a reverse effect, worsening the anger outbursts. The sheriff's office was called to his home 39 times because of his dangerous explosions of anger, and still was allowed to purchase the gun. Right now, juvenile records are not coordinated with other law enforcement, so the FBI had no indication of trouble until a few months ago. We need to make sure that dangerous individuals, even if juveniles, are reported to the NICS database, to deny them access to legal guns.
