The Government will protect you, said nobody in particular.

[Intolerant in NJ]

The documents show a high school resource officer who was also a sheriff's deputy and two school counselors recommended in September 2016 that Cruz be committed for mental evaluation under Florida's Baker Act. That law allows for involuntary commitment for mental health examination for at least three days...In Jersey the recommendation would have had to have come from a physician, endorsed by a judge - if the same in Florida, somebody dropped the ball in sending Cruz for further review and evaluation......

[BenLurkin]

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

Of course the local officials, who knew he posed a genuine threat, did nothing to interdict him.

And then ordered their leos to wait outside why the killings took place.

[WildHighlander57]

from the article:

“...recommended that he be forcibly committed...”

“...the school resource officer who recommended institutionalization was Scot Peterson. Peterson is the man who resigned for failing to enter the building...”

And why wasn’t anything done back then??!!??

why pass knee-jerk laws, when not only there were laws already on the books (Baker act), but there was pressure to lock the perp up?

[ryderann]

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

[ResponseAbility]

*****Such an involuntary commitment would also have been a high obstacle if not a complete barrier to legally obtaining a firearm*****

Watch carefully the new laws that will spring fourth saying that anyone with mental health issues cannot get a gun. I can just see a new glut of institutions being set up, and people being committed to remove them from the list of people who can buy a gun.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

And meanwhile, Rick Scott signs a dumb ol’ bill that would have likely not prevented the massacre, except for the armed teachers provision, were it in effect some time ago.

All roads lead to a conspiracy to have a school shooting they would be ready to politicize on a moments notice.
They all knew that this “kid” was a ticking time bomb. They didn’t have their response team ready to go for Sandy Hook was the dems reasoning why they didn’t get gun control. This time they would be ready. Every government breakdown was potentially a stand down order. Even having schools be a gun free zone was likely part of the effort to get school shootings they could politicize.

On a related note: Schools are very, very high on the sleeper cell terrorist target list.

[Nifster]

So why wasn’t the Baker Act invoked by the judge?

[TigersEye]

The article fails to say why this recommendation wasn’t followed.

My first guess is that someone invoked the Promise Program and
short-circuited this intervention.

[shanover]

We need the Hogg-sh*t opinion on these matters.

[Libloather]

...he had drunk gasoline and was throwing up.

Too bad he wasn't a smoker.

[M Kehoe]

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

5.56mm

[Reily]

but its the NRA’s fault!

[Eleutheria5]

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

[Taxman]

The “Promise Program,” an Ophonybama initiative, is what killed Trayvon Martin and these 17 students!

[Republican Wildcat]

More and more and more and more of this kind of information is coming out, yet the narrative is still that it is the NRA’s fault.

We obviously already had ample laws and policies / procedures in place to have prevented this from happening and none were enforced - numerous times over.

But of course we had the Leftist hacks seeking their 15 minutes of fame presented in glowing terms tonight on 60 minutes with their agenda that has nothing to do with any of these numerous revelations.

[Gritty]

So, the rest of us are all supposed to surrender our rights because the authorities f’d up time and time and time again?
