I’m not going to comment too much on yesterday’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School because details are still coming out.
There are three bits of information that we have learned that are key.
The FBI was warned that a YouTube user with the name Nicholas Cruz left a comment on a video saying “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.”
Cruz was expelled from the school previously and was banned from coming onto campus with a backpack because of “fears that he would attack other students.” His disciplinary problems stretch back to the 8th grade.
Cruz’s problems were so well known that “everyone predicted” that he would be a school shooter.

This situation seems very similar to that of Jared Lee Loughner, where there was red flag after red flag that he would do something like this but no agency with any authority was involved enough to prevent it.
Even the Las Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock, put up some red flags that he was up to no good.
Apparently our bureaucracy has butterfingers.
After Loughner and Cruz, THIS should become a priority.
To the rabid anti-gunners of America, the problem is the NRA and their donations.

Blame was laid at the feet of NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch.

Her humanity, and that of all Republicans, was questioned.

Remember, if you are not a Democrat, you are a subhuman untermensch.
She had to be human first… She doesn't qualify

Then there is the call for collective punishment.
We have to elect candidates that are not funded by the NRA in November. We have an opportunity to elect candidates who won’t allow kids to go to school and get shot. It is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing. You all have blood on your hands.

If you want to understand why the media in the United States was fawning all over Kim Jong Un’s sister, this is why.
There is no problem the far left has found in which the solution was something other than take everybody who disagrees and send them to a gulag.
Are people poor? Eat the rich.
Do people commit murder? Send the law abiding gun owners to prison.
If only they could imprison or execute enough people, they could usher in Utopia.
To them, every mass shooting is another chance to call for that.
Blame the tool not the fool…i just made that up! Whoohoo,im a genius..
The left convenently ignores the laws this guy already broke- pre meditated MURDER,a felony. Assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, firearm in a federal gun free zone,a felony. Plus how many locale laws?? Here we go again with the lefty idiots blaming the NRA. Hey fuk kYOU . Im an NRA Instructor,you have no idea what we do.
Slightly off topic, the graph showing money donated to candidates indicates the NRA is wasting money on Paul Ryan, and Cruz and Rubio may also be questionable investments.
I also notice nobody posts graphs showing how much Bloomberg and co. donated to pols who have failed to stop “gun violence”.
As I’ve posted elsewhere.
As this was a ‘known’. Pulse Bar was a ‘known’. San Bernardino was a ‘known’. Aurora Colorado was a ‘known’.
All these – and quite a few others – were known by LE and the FBI and they didn’t do a damned thing .
It may be a line from a Bond book/movie, but when it fits:
“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.”
Make your own conclusions, but for me, something stinks. ‘Butterfingers’ my ass.
