It is not the obligation of children to befriend classmates who have demonstrated aggressive, unpredictable or violent tendencies. It is the responsibility of the school administration and guidance department to seek out those students and get them the help that they need, even if it is extremely specialized attention that cannot be provided at the same institution.

No amount of kindness or compassion alone would have changed the person that Nikolas Cruz is and was, or the horrendous actions he perpetrated. That is a weak excuse for the failures of our school system, our government and our gun laws.

It wasn't the gun laws that failed. Had the FBI, Broward Sheriff's department and school administrators done their job, Cruz would have had a criminal and/or mental health record that would have blocked him from legally purchasing a gun. Instead, the local authorities implemented a plan to help ensure Cruz never faced legal jeopardy - and patted themselves on the back for how well their program was working - until it failed, and they have been in CYA mode ever since, and the left conveniently ignores their culpability in all of this.

Very much describes the real criminal (at least one of the main ones) in Broward should be highlighted in these sorts of discussions.

This is the girl who should have been the Parkland spokesman, not those two twits who are out there grabbing any bit of limelight that the DNC can arrange for them.

She has common sense, she expresses herself coherently and very effectively, and she says exactly what Trump was saying: we need maniac control. And a lot of “maniacs” start to show it when they are very young.
