According to law enforcement sources, the shooter, former student Nicolas de Jesus Cruz, is in custody. Helicopter footage shortly before 4 showed police frisking a handcuffed young man outside a squad car. Dressed in a maroon shirt and dark trousers, he was placed in the squad car as TV choppers filmed the scene. He gave no visible sign of being injured, but authorities have said Cruz was transported to Broward Health North.

A teacher at the school told the Miami Herald that Cruz, 19, had been identified as a potential threat to fellow students in the past.

“We were told last year that he wasn’t allowed on campus with a backpack on him,” said math teacher Jim Gard, who said the former student suspected in the shootings had been in his class last year. “There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus.” (more)

That’s worth noting. No home schooled students were harmed during this attack.

Stand by for a plethora of more gun laws that only are to glorify the person who proposed another senseless law.

Your kids deserve to be raised and educated in an environment where God is acknowledged and honored. The American People NEVER VOTED to take Prayer out of our schools. This was imposed on the people by the Imperial Judiciary, an evil gang of tyrants who hate the God of Israel. It is revolting and hideous to hear these liberal politicians say they “are praying for the victims.” They are the darlings of the Hollywood degenerates who have been filling the minds and hearts of our children with murder. Their movies follow a simple, redundant story line: we begin with a moral outrage, and, in the films culmination the hero brings the awful situation to a resolution with a horrific act of violence. Millions of dollars are spent to make these slaughters as realistic as possible. You can almost smell the blood. Our children are immersed in this filth, this slaughter porn. And they are taught every single day that there is no God by His De Facto absence in his everyday school life. Then, when the children act accordingly these pompous bastards say they are praying for the victims!!!! Sorry, it’s disgusting, ugly, and quintessentially bulls—t. You have to go after this anti-God culture and destroy it. And put Him and his Torah in its place.

Parkland is listed as an upscale neighborhood. Are their children not worth protecting? Where was the school security I frequently read about? Why wasn’t there at least one designated teacher allowed or required to carry? Another report I saw said two hours passed between onslaught and capture. Why did it take two hours and what happened during that time frame? There are lots of questions to be answered but I doubt we will get timely answers.

The victims won’t hardly be cold before the liberal jackals will be howling for more gun control and banning the AR-15 as tbe gun was certainly the cause.

Remember the Washington Navy Yard shootings? It took the media a week to admit they lied and it was the 12 gauge stolen from the guard shack that was used.

I ask anti-gun moms the following questions:

Q: Why do the guards on the banks’ armored trucks carry guns?

A: To prevent people from stealing the money, of course.

Q: Are your children worth less than a bag of money?

I like that analogy. The armored trucks could just waitv for the cops to show up and protect the money </s>

I have a good friend in Parkland with sons in this high school. They are ok, but their FB feed is filled with shares of parents posting pictures of their kids asking for help in finding them. Heartbreaking and devastating.

How terribly sad. Devastating, indeed.

My prayers are being said for these dear families. I cannot imagine the anguish.

I just learned that one of them was in a classroom and his teacher was killed. He had to walk over bodies to get outside. The other lost a friend who was killed just outside the school How do a 14 year old and a 16 year old recover from that....or ever go back to that school? His boys are alive but they are a long way from ok.

You give them weapons training, and particularly Pistol and Rifle Training.
Teach them at nearly age HOW TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.

It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


Remember: Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

"Stand by for a plethora of more gun laws that only are to glorify the person who proposed another senseless law."

If we stand by, that's what will happen. Maybe we should tell our state and federal legislators that we will not stand for more violations of our Second Amendment rights. Tell them to repeal some anti-family laws, start a real war on drugs and clean up this national whorehouse.

We must choose between our vices or our freedoms. If we make the wise choice, we should start making sure that parents set better examples for the kids. Getting high and looking for some strange on nights out with the girls are not good examples.

Hubby and I were just talking about this, earlier tonight....how does a kid EVER recover, from this horror?

You don’t. Not completely. Not ever.

My heart goes out to these kids. Like POTUS said....NO child should EVER have to deal with this kind of absolute tragedy. (paraphrased)

When I was in school (a few decades ago) this type of evil horror NEVER even crossed our mind. The biggest tragedy we had was one of the students accidentally overdosing. We never heard of ANYONE considering injuring anyone or masses.

When my kids were in school, Columbine had happened, and it made us aware of the possibility.

There are signs with these demented kids....other kids just have to NOT be afraid to let an adult know.
