Wouldn’t it be a little difficult, for them to keep an eye 👁 on him, if their eyes 👀 were already closed?
[In an interview with the Sun Sentinel, which obtained a transcript of his statement, Medina last week denied he recognized Cruz or that staff had met about him. That claim is contradicted by the video of his talk with detectives.]
What in the world.....so was he lying then or is he lying now?
Haven't seen this detail before--similar to Santa Fe.
>>The video is evidence against Cruz,
Sounds like evidence against the school and police. It doesn’t help Shooter Cruz but it does expose negligence by others in not preventing or halting this.
The shooter shot. There is no case of mistaken identity. How does this help convict him?
>>Yet, Cruz had avoided any arrests, and despite his history of mental health problems, was able to buy a cache of weapons.
Blame the authorities. The police were responsible for not entering his record into the database.
But the MiHe isn’t saying that, so more guns must be grabbed. He “Fell through the cracks” because the authority figures MiHe trusts didn’t do their job.
How about we lock up the criminally insane instead? He could still be found “not guilty by reason of insanity” and how will that sit with the public? If he isn’t to be held accountable for his actions, then he shouldn’t be walking around freely to begin with.
e had the [anti-] Jewish swastika.”
The writer had to add “anti” so readers would know it’s a bad thing. You know... so people can distinguish it from that other PRO-Jewish swastika that’s so popular. Sheesh!
Is this the coward of Broward?
Gosh I didn't realize he was bravely texting. I had thought he would do something like try to stop him, but he risked his life sending text messages to OTHER officers to do that.
Not a guard, but a low paid monitor who talks like he’s nearly illiterate.
I’ve dealt with CPS before. The Child ‘protective’ Services are happy to involved themselves EXCEPT when there is any real issues - then they are afraid to act.
>>Breaking his silence this week, Peterson insisted he was not sure the gunfire was coming from inside the building — and even shifted the blame toward Medina for not giving him enough details about the shooter. That claim also seems to conflict with Medina’s interview with detectives on the day of the shooting.
Then there are the police who stood outside and “set up a perimeter” through which the shooter escaped?
>>Yet, Cruz had avoided any arrests, and despite his history of mental health problems, was able to buy a cache of weapons.
His having avoided arrests was directly because of policy that the Broward school superintendent, board of education, Sheriff, and others had put in place. Look up the Broward Promise. They were feted nationally, other school systems took up the policy, they were lauded by Obama and his Administration, who were using this as a model for national policy.
That we are talking about guns in the wake of Parkland, and not talking about this massive policy failure, and reversing it, is criminal.
Texting? Don't these guys have radios?
I can’t get worked up about it. Nobody, NOBODY, will be held accountable for this absolute failure.
If our justice system can’t give him the chair, then it is really broken.
The policies established by the Obama administration put into effect at the M S D HS have been given a pass .Which is why I documented in a review of those failures all posted here in Free Republic in http://www.theusmat.com/index.htm
