What would have happened if a loser like Nikolas Cruz had made public threats to shoot up a school building in 1818 instead of 2018?

1. A band of armed men (citizens, not police) would have been sent to protect the school.

2. He probably would have been apprehended and set on fire or tossed off a cliff before he could even reach the school anyway.

Yep, and just forty or fifty years ago, Cruz and the Sandy Hook shooter might both have been in what was insensitively referred to as the insane asylum. Those aren’t easy questions and easy answers, but there are definitely people walking around freely who should be confined in some institution.
