It’s now apparent that he made three separate posted online threats to be a school shooter / mass murderer: May, Aug, & Sept 2017. All three threats precede his mother’s untimely death.

Like riot shields. They are likely plexi, otherwise bullet proof glass would be quite heavy to carry.

OR, the Sheriff COULD have done his job and killed Cruz as he changed mags.

OR, the teacher who was very close when Cruz changed mags COULD have jumped him.

OR, the 3 Sheriffs COULD have engaged Cruz rather than hide behind their cars,

OR, Cruz COULD have been in jail if the Cops had done their job,

OR, Cruz COULD have failed the background check if any of his prior illegal behavior had been reported.

And that’s exactly why the rampage stopped- he was unable to break the glass.

But...but...but, it's been posted all over the liberal snowflake sites that an AR-15 will vaporize a 280 pound hog.

There is even a first-person narrative, relating the horror of the incident and converting the shooter to eating nothing but soy and tofu.

What's the deal, man?

I was going hog hunting...now...I don't know.

Tipping off a friend to take cover??? Letting him know what was about to go down???? Peculiar at the least. I’d be looking into the kid who got that text!

I have seen one report the shooter was wearing a gas mask and another he was wearing a helmet and body armor so I don’t know what to believe.

OR, the Broward school could have identified his obvious psychological and emotional illness and placed him elsewhere for treatment by the time he was in first grade.

They failed to ID him and treat him or institutional him if he could not be fixed.

“Sources told CBS News that Cruz broke a third-floor window, possibly to fire upon people from above. Sources say he tried to create a “sniper’s nest” by shooting out the window, firing 16 rounds into the glass, CBS News correspondent Manuel Bojorquez reports. But the hurricane-proof glass appeared to have stopped it from shattering, Bojorquez reports.

Investigators believe the suspect tried to reload, but after changing magazine clips, his gun may have jammed, Bojorquez adds. Cruz then allegedly put down his weapon and left the building, blending in with other students.

Is it possible...the kid could have ate his gun?

This kind of speculation....can go on and on.

Slightly off topic but I just read that Nikolas texted the friend he was staying with “Yo” one minute before he arrived at the school.

It is my understanding from the initial Broward County SD report that he actually spelled his name as Nikolaus and was at that time said to be of Middle Eastern parentage, though his adopted name of Cruz came from his adoptive parents.

Remember how many times we've been told that the coverup is worse than the underlying crime? If so, in this case, it may be worse than the murders of 17 Florida schoolkids.
