from the article:
“...recommended that he be forcibly committed...”
“...the school resource officer who recommended institutionalization was Scot Peterson. Peterson is the man who resigned for failing to enter the building...”
And why wasn’t anything done back then??!!??
why pass knee-jerk laws, when not only there were laws already on the books (Baker act), but there was pressure to lock the perp up?
The Federal Govt (during the last administration) put pressure on schools to decrease the “school to prison pipeline.” In 2013, the Broward county schools and sheriff’s office came up with an innovative plan to reduce school based arrests. They agreed to stop referring students to the police for things like assault and drug use.
Amazingly the number of arrests at school dropped 63% from 2012-2016. The White House deemed it was a miracle and invited the superintendent to the White House on a meeting about “Rethink Discipline.” So that is how Mr. Cruz slipped through the system.
Right. CowRdly lack of enforcement renders any laws ineffective
The problem wasn’t the Second or NRA. The problem is FBI Scott Israel and their band of chicken s*** incompetents
