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.
Agreed, the Everglades is awesome and draining and paving it poses great danger to the Florida watershed and coastline.
No, they’re not the same.
The people my family died to protect were Americans.
“...That is when we really know what tyranny is...”
Too many don’t get it. At all.
I originally posted the “Stop the School Prison to Pipeline” stuff from 2013 before Sundance did! He/She and I think the same and we may have once run in the same circles. Likely so.

So if the stop the school to prison pipeline Leftist policies prevent arrests and reporting crimes, then what good is a more “complete” records check system? If the information is deliberately blocked, then the background checks will only be used against those not in a lefty blessed protected class.
That is amazing that you were digging it up and posting so early on! My hat is off to you. Street smarts is what you have. Good instincts.
Very good point.
Thanks, bu Sundance knew years before I had figured this out. Sundance was involved in exposing the sanctuary program after researching the Trayvon Martin’s criminal acts that were not exposed from Miami-Dade’s school system.
I just suspected something had gone awry when the Parkland students and neighbors were commenting on Nikolai’s criminal behavior. It’s incomprehensible, especially since he’s white, that he was not in juvenile hall. However, his adoptive name gave him minority status to further pardon his infractions.
