Maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight, but this incident has false flag written all over it.

5.56mm

Didn’t know it was him?

Maybe, but they would have had a pretty good idea of who it was doing the shooting.

Probably a very good idea of who it was.

No. How could they know it was? Heck the deputies didn’t even get close enough to see what the guy looked like while the shooting was going on. :-) It could have been a muslim dude or some other wackjob.

School shootings are possibly mere “bumps in the road” to the communists, Obama and Hillary.

I have never heard a word about his REAL parents, only his adoptive ones.

When the shootings were happening they did not know who the shooter was.

Not necessarily. The identity of the shooter had to be known while he was firing, or based on his appearance when he arrived. Cruz left the school mixed in with other students who did not know, and did not think he was the shooter. Yet Cruz was identified and arrested soon thereafter - highly unlikely unless somebody knew who did the shooting while or before it was happening.

My comment was in regard to the Deputy. If the cowardly deputy is not in a position to even see the shooter then he certainly can’t KNOW who it was.

So if they did not know who did the shooting, how did the LEOs know to call the guy he was living with, and then go find him and arrest him shortly after the shooting?

What reason did they even have to even look for Cruz unless they knew by then that Cruz was the shooter? Supposedly witnesses ID's him (that's needed to support the probable cause for the arrest) but just to find and detain him implies somebody knew he was involved.

Cruz was arrested at 3:41PM, one hour and twenty minutes after he allegedly started shooting at the school.

There was an early report that one of the school resource officers ID'd Cruz. Whether or not that was true, or if it related to another officer other than Peterson I don't know.

It is hard to imagine being as much of a coward as Peterson was. I suspect that will lead to a lot of theories as to why somebody might do what he did.

“This fellow’s brains were fried before he was even born. His mother was a dope addict.”

I would suggest that his mother was an alcoholic. He has the physical features associated with fetal alcohol effect. He certainly has the behavioral features. Yet no one in the government-media complex seems very interested in this probability. One thing I learned at university was that the only students who attended fewer classes and had more drinkin’ and dope smokin’ time than the education majors were the journalism students.

Easy. LEOs interviewed people in the school who identified the shooter. But none of that was known by that deputy in real-time as the shots were being fired which took about six minutes.

So why wasn’t he Baker-ized? That’s been my question from the beginning.

So not really a “false flag” in that this nut really did all the shooting.

Yeah, usually the shooter doesn't survive. The authorities are then free to characterize the incident any way they want.
