9/11 and Parkland: When Systems Fail
americanthinker.com ^ | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 03/05/2018 5:34:12 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Everyone paying attention knows now that the Parkland massacre by a severely troubled and dangerous young man was the result of a failure of a host of government institutions. The FBI received several specific warnings and ignored them. The Broward County sheriff's department also ignored countless notifications, as did the local police. Much of the inefficiency was probably due to sheer incompetence, people not doing the jobs they were meant to do.

But much was the result of a truly ridiculous program invented by the Obama administration, the Promise policy. Jack Cashill has written about this in depth, as the same program was also the reason Trayvon Martin was roaming the streets when he was killed. The Obama administration wanted to end the racial disparity in the prison population and so bribed school districts and local law enforcement to simply not arrest minority kids in their schools, no matter how criminal their behavior. This was meant to stop the "pipeline to prison" that had been endemic among school-age minority kids. As a result, criminally-inclined kids became emboldened to escalate their illegal activity. Nikolas Cruz bought ten guns and passed every background check because no one reported his accelerating criminality to the Feds. And because of this nonsensical program, seventeen young people are dead.

Has the junior filmmaker demanded that the cowardly police (not the officers who PASSED BY those “holding a perimeter”, through which the shooter escaped) listen to the tapes of the screaming kids?

He made that demand of President Trump.

Was Cruz a minority?? Just because he had an Hispanic last name, lol! How stupid; he’s probably 100% Caucasian.

I believe a ‘Hispanic surname’ is all that is required for Affirmative Action status in many cases. DNA is irrelevant.

The Central Planners failed as they always do. Control Freaks screw us all, and get people killed.

And they never sleep.

The system did not fail. It functioned exactly as it was designed to function.

And yet nobody will lose their jobs. It’s a tidy system.

Would be nice to view “The Path to 9/11” again, if ABC hadn’t literally buried it.

Not a word.

I was wondering why there was never any mention of a Parkland Police Department involvement.

Parkland outsourced its policing to the sheriff's department:

In February 2004, the Parkland City Commission approved the merger of the city's law enforcement operations with the Broward Sheriff's Office, effective March 1, 2004. The district has an annual operating budget of approximately $7.2 million and provides for 46 positions including a district Captain, one Lieutenant, five Sergeants, 34 Deputies and five Administrative positions.

The Parkland BSO District oversees all Public Safety and Code Enforcement matters throughout the City of Parkland.

“Just because he had an Hispanic last name, lol! How stupid; he’s probably 100% Caucasian.”......I understood Cruz to have been born in Russia, adopted and then brought to America. His last name should have nothing to do with his ethnicity.

You know, I’ve heard a lot of stuff about his origins but it still appears to be shrouded in mystery. I suspected that he was a Russian fetal alcohol syndrome baby but I haven’t seen proof. It’s like the Las Vegas murderer - we still know very little about him or his associates.

He is certainly Caucasian, though.

It's not my place to run the train
The whistle I can't blow.

It's not my place to say how far
The train's allowed to go.

It's not my place to shoot off steam
Nor even clang the bell.

But let the damn thing jump the track
And see who catches hell.
