FULL TITLE:Nowhere to run: Best exchange at CNN’s townhall was Dana Loesch firing at Florida sheriff with both barrels
With all the glaring red flags in the life of the shooting suspect in last week’s deadly Florida high school massacre, NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch confronted law enforcement with an obvious question.
During a CNN Town Hall meeting in Florida on Wednesday, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel addressed the question that his office may have failed to properly evaluate and act on the case of the 19-year-old suspect with a history of behavior issues, who opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland last week, killing 17 people.
“In Florida, we call it a Baker Act. It allows us to take an individual to be, against their will, involuntarily, to go to a mental health facility and be treated,” Israel said in response to a question from an audience member citing the FBI’s acknowledgment that it failed to act on tips about the shooter.
Israel called for law enforcement to be given more authority to take action with the mentally ill against their will after deeming an individual needs psychological attention.
Loesch then fired the question on everyone’s minds.
“Thirty-nine visits did not meet that standard? 39 visits, assaulting students, assaulting parents, taking bullets and knives to school did not meet that standard?” she asked, referring to the record of alleged incidents by the gunman, Nikolas Cruz, before the high school shooting and the visits authorities made to his home in response.

“Shut up and pass the donuts.” /s
The Sheriff is a bloviating nitwit. Typical liberal.
Scott Israel is good buddies with Election Rigger Debbie Blabbermouth Schmuck.
It is stated in Broward County that the sheriff is a another democrat like Chuckie baby dont get between them and a TV camera you will get run over....
“Scott Israel is good buddies with Election Rigger Debbie Blabbermouth Schmuck.”
Sheriff elected in a 2/3 Clinton county? And I may wrong but do I detect a New York accent in this red state wrecker?
Well, Broward. From his accent, he sorta sounds like he might be from new yuk or close by.
I believe that a huge percentage of residents in that part of Florida are New Yorkers. (And many have been caught voting in both states.)
Yup !
Born in NYC , undergraduate in political science at SUNY Cortland.
His deceased father was NYC Mounted (Horse) Patrol; so the Sheriff is second-generation LEO
with the NYC Liberalism towards the Constitution and the 2nd amendment.
However, to his credit, he is now installing armed SRO at schools with AR-15s.
Today this could be Charlton Heston’s beautiful answer to CNN and their slimey ilk.
