I hate when a piece of information that I know I have decides not to ring its bell in my brain. The good news is that somebody not only did remember but has made a full on investigation:
Broward County schools intentionally created polices from 2010 through 2016 that culminated in the 2018 mass school shooting in Parkland. We know this with great specificity because five years ago we warned Broward County Florida school board members this could happen.
In 2012 and 2013 while doing research into the Trayvon Martin shooting we discovered an alarming set of school policies being enacted in Miami-Dade and Broward County Florida. The policies were called “diversionary programs” and were essentially about stopping High School students from being arrested. Law enforcement was instructed to avoid arrests and defer criminal conduct to school administrators.
Students who engaged in violence, drug sales, robberies, burglaries, theft and other various crimes were intentionally kept out of the criminal justice system. County administrators and School Superintendents told local and county law enforcement officers to stop arresting students.
Fixing the stats to look good. Go read the whole article, it is frightfully illuminating.
Damn, just damn.
I have no sympathy for conspiracy theorists, yet for years I have felt that there art too many coincidences in the occurrence of mass shootings/gun control movements. There is information that gun control organizations already had a plan in place months ago to exploit the next mass shooting. Starting back in October this shooter was identified to the FBI as a potential problem; he had been known to the Broward County Sheriff’s office for years as a problem, but nothing was done. I wonder if we’re going to find out just what it was that triggered him at this particular time. “Once is a coincidence, twice is questionable, three times is a plan.” How many times can we count on this plan.
