Florida school shooter 'sympathized with Syrian terrorists,' sold knives from lunchbox, friend says
Fox News ^ | 02/20/18 | Greg Norman

A former friend and classmate of Nikolas Cruz says he would follow her around, abuse his girlfriend and even talk about killing his friends' parents, adding to the shocking claims that have emerged about Cruz in the days since the Florida high school shooting.

Ariana Lopez told ABC News on Tuesday she and her friends reported Cruz’s behavior to school officials multiple times between 2016 and 2017. Cruz was eventually expelled from Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School, where he shot and killed 17 last week.

“He talked about killing our parents, our friends, boyfriends and girlfriends,” Lopez said. “He would talk about how he sympathized with Syrian terrorists and that people who opposed them should be killed. He posted pictures of like 15 or more firearms just on his bed. Like this was normal. Like you could even see a hamper in the background. That's how ordinary this was to him."

Goes to show that since Columbine, hardly anything has ever changed, since like Columbine, at least one of the perps could go breathe out threatenings without being stopped, then go murder a bunch of people.

Broward County School District will be facing a class action lawsuit for their NAACP Collaboration School Discipline Policy.

Threatening bodily harm and death gets added to the long list of infractions committed by Cruz and ignored by the school. He had a free pass.

If only we could have seen the warning signs sooner and done something about it before tragedy struck.

Oh, yeah. Police called 39 times, FBI called twice, nothing happened.

One would think, after nearly a week, that the news media would have enough information on some of the 'basics' of this story.

This thread from miamiherald.com appears a few minutes earlier:

So, was he or wasn't he expelled?

Absolutely, and quite deservedly so. How on earth could they let a racist organization seeking to make their members look better by minimizing their numbers in crimes dictate their policy? Since when does the corrupt and racist NAACP get to make school policy for all? Disgusting and ridiculous.

The school never reported the shooter to police as a matter of SJW policy.

"....she and her friends reported Cruz’s behavior to school officials multiple times between 2016 and 2017."

Lawsuit. The size of Texas. Suck it up Broward County taxpayers.

Individuals, especially those in business, often face liability under the legal theory of “known or should have known” about a given risk. Why do we allow public officials to skate?

Their discipline policy allows students to act with impunity; the teachers and schools have their hands tied. The district’s NAACP collaborative policy is basically a juvenile criminal ‘sanctuary’ on their premises.

Was he expelled? Conflicting reports exist. He may have been expelled from their premises but allowed to finish his education in a GED capacity at some other alternative school.

Look for the AAA infractions; those get automatic referral to law enforcement.

The rest is a graduated program based on the number of infractions, the value of the theft or the serious level of the fight, etc.

Yup. All the established protocols were followed, and the school, police and FBI failed. Hammer this home to the anti-gunners. More people are killed in one “gun free” zone than the combined population of the NRA convention, gun clubs, and gun trade shows.

Anyone who says, “Like” and “You know” are usually idiots and it is in many cases a “tell” of lying or disingenuousness. Clinton comes to mind and most libtards.

Hillary had to be trained to stop using ...’ya know’

Where is Hillary hiding? She put out a statement on Parkland, FL? or did her handlers put that out...anyone seen her lately? Is she still wearing leg brace?

Why no media reporting on her? on Hussein O.?

She is likely on the floor in her vomit and busted Depends after drinking heavily starting at 7:00 am. She should be in prison.
