Parkland dad: Massacre was avoidable, if district hadn’t enabled deranged student
NY Post ^ | 9/8/19 | Andrew Pollack & Max Eden

Posted on 09/09/2019 2:01:43 AM PDT by T-Bird45

When staff at Westglades Middle School heard that Nikolas Cruz had committed the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS, some couldn’t believe it. The fact that he was a mass murderer wasn’t what surprised them, but rather the fact that he had attended that school.

“How is that possible?” one Westglades educator recalled thinking. “We did our jobs. It took forever, but we got him [to the specialized school] where he needed to go. We couldn’t believe they ever let him into [Stoneman].”

Westglades students and staff had never seen anyone like Nikolas Cruz. One student, Paige, recalled the time that she met Cruz. They were standing outside their classroom waiting for their teacher to open the door, and Cruz offered her a hug, which Paige accepted. Their teacher later pulled Paige aside and warned her, “Don’t touch him. He just got caught jerking off.”

The blood of the dead students is on the hands of Barack Obama

He was black before he was American

In my opinion, he was never an American. Nor were those who worshiped and voted for him.

Hey Tom Mauser - See this? This is how it’s done. Not wearing your kid’s shoes and camping out in front of NRA HQ.

Has to do with enabling deranged students. Google “Greta Thunberg” if you want.

Cruz could not have done it without the united efforts of OBAMA, RUNCIE, ISRAEL and the SCHOOL BOARD.....each of which, as a individuals and as a group, are as “innocent” as proponents of BLACK LIVES MATTER.
..
No, I did not forget the COWARDLY COP, beneath contempt, a shade of the policies of those named above.

It almost seems like the Deep State is intentionally failing in order to highlight firearms are bad so they can be totally banned.

Now where did I put my tin foil hat?

Where did you get that? His parents adopted him but no such information anywhere like what you claim

We have to reopen insane asylums for the mentally ill that cannot be treated successfully for them to function.

We have to have separate schools for the students that are not actually able to mainstream into classrooms. I am talking about behavior issues. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have known without a doubt this shooter did not belong in a regular school.

He was a candidate for an asylum, his education needed to be tutoring in the asylum. If it was possible to treat him, he would have had a better chance getting constant treatment with full supervision.

We need to quit pretending that everyone is normal, that everyone is the same. Just not so. Many can be helped, there are some who cannot.

The avoidability was so massive that it inevitably raises the question of whether the atrocity wasn't deliberately encouraged and enabled by the authorities.

......research about Runcie indicated his rather dubious past as a school administrator. It is very disturbing to think
that Obama's hand-picked man, Runcie, engaged in activities that were responsible for the school massacre.....

This incomprehensibly stupid Supt Runcie was actually named "Supt of The Year"......lauded for keeping arrest roles down....
and given a king's ransom in salary, perks, pensions, add-on$, bonuse$, and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

A Parkland Father’s Quest for Accountability
Wall Street Journal ^ | January 11, 2019 | Tunku Varadarajan/ FR Posted on 1/12/2019, 12:22:26 PM by reaganaut1 ...

Mr. Pollack believes that “political correctness killed Meadow.” A prominent villain in his narrative is Robert Runcie, who came to Broward from Chicago in 2011 as the superintendent of the county’s public schools. Mr. Runcie introduced a program called Promise—a feel-good acronym for Preventing Recidivism through Opportunities, Mentoring, Interventions, Support and Education—under which students who commit crimes in public schools would no longer be reported to the police by administrators. Under Promise, students would be evaluated and dealt with exclusively within the schools and their associated reform programs.

Even felonies as severe as drug dealing, sexual assault and bringing weapons to school could lawfully be kept from the police. Mr. Runcie “saw that minority students were being referred to the police at higher rates than whites,” as Mr. Pollack tells it.

“Rather than recognize that misbehavior can be the result of many complex problems outside school, or at home,” the superintendent concluded the disparity was because “teachers and schools were racist.” With no reporting, “now there’s no crime. The school’s data looks great.

Problem solved.” But a much worse problem was created: “No student has a criminal background as a result, so once you graduate from school and want to buy a gun, background checks are useless.”

Mr. Runcie and his supporters called their policy “discipline reform.” Violent students had to attend “healing circles,” among other sorts of in-house, nonjudicial remedies.

The result, says Mr. Pollack—so agitated that he almost shouts—is that “mentally disturbed students, violent psychopaths like 18-1958, are right there in the classroom with normal students like my daughter, and with teachers who don’t know how to deal with them, since they can’t bring in the cops.” (Excerpt) Read more at wsj.com ...

“Yes, the leftists running the school actually sponsored training him how to shoot guns. The same leftists would say that normal, sane people shouldn’t be allowed to have any guns.”

Almost like TPTB found their deranged psychopath-in-training and turned him loose in a well to do school for maximum news coverage of the event.

TPTB get their dead kids to weep over.

The status of the school ensured heavy media coverage, this never would seen the light of day in a majority minority school unless the evil gun was used by a white conservative kid from outside the school.

There was a ready made band of indoctrinated students to parade before the press.

The Sheriff was a leftist tool close to Congress woman DWS, and the list goes on.

Maybe my tin foil hat is on too tight.
Or maybe it isn’t.
It is well documented throughout history that leftists will sacrifice innocents to forward the agenda and the more innocent the victims the better.

And we wonder why we have an epidemic of mass shootings. Psych patients are no longer in a secure environment, they are out in the general public because it is cheaper.
