Deputies called to suspected shooter’s home 39 times over seven years
NY Post ^ | February 16, 2018 | Yaron Steinbuch

Posted on 02/16/2018 7:49:28 AM PST by EdnaMode

Before Nikolas Cruz carried out his mass killing at a Florida high school this week, police responded to his home 39 times over a seven-year period, according to disturbing new documents.

Details about the calls to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office — obtained from police records by CNN — were not immediately available and it was impossible to determine if all involved Cruz.

But the nature of the emergencies at his Parkland home included “mentally ill person,” “child/elderly abuse,” “domestic disturbance” and “missing person,” KTLA reported.

And a schoolmate, Brody Speno, told the network that cops were called to Cruz’s home “almost every other week.”

“How was he not in prison?”

This is beginning to look a lot like the Patrick Purdy Stockton California school shooting years ago where the gunman had a criminal history. The guy should’ve never been walking the streets.

Back in the day crazy people were tossed into the county home.

But the bleeding hearts didn’t like that sort of thing and here we are.

Well, guess it’s time to block all orphans and people who lose a parent from buying guns.

No one dealt with the problem because stupid liberals have told us to ‘be tolerant’ of aberrant behavior. They are wrong on this - just like they're wrong on almost everything.

Someone should have judged the situation with the killer years ago ... as ‘wrong’. There should have been a team to call in for help. A social network that backed up the adoptive mother. The woman was out of her league dealing with a young sociopath on her own.

The help should have come years before the shooting... back when the police were called the second or third time. A violent sociopath was in the process of becoming. He needed strict rules NOT “understanding’ and ‘tolerance’...

Our culture is failing.

And schools? They need 'active shooter' drills and training. It's time to throw out the stupid shallow 'musings' of brain-dead liberals and go back to the foundations of Western Civilization... our philosophies and our religions...

Your sarcasm aside

There are distinct common denominators in alll these school shootings.

These are not happy well adjusted kids who do this

Warning signs galore

Yep

Adopted

Looks Slavic

Could have been fetal alcohol syndrome

I’ve seen something similar here with a Russian kid adopted

A litttle slow but very bright ..shy...from drunk mom but he’s not picked on

These mass killings always have the same psychological profile and social standing environment in the school

Crap home life
Crap school life and object of ridicule
Often on some anti depressant

It becomes “I’ll show them”

It’s sick empowerment and revenge.

There was just an incident at my sons school today...high school in franklin tn

Boy threatened to kill ballers

I told my athletic freshman who’s arguably fastest white boy his age in the county I better not hear him picking on unpopular ostracized kids

It’s cruel and it might make you a target one day

Our family and societal structure has so collapsed ...this is why it’s more common now

Charles Whitman was an exception to this.....just anatomically crazy

How come this never happens at tony private schools?

I’m guessing often better home life or stuff that offsets a pathetic school life

Apologies for my thoughtless comment - the adoptive parents appear to have been very kind older people. It pays to read the whole story first.

God bless.

And now we learned the FBI had two separate tips sent in about him. He used his real name on YouTube and they still couldn’t figure out what to do.

Enforcement wastes too many calories, though.

His mother did spoil him by defending his abusive behavior.

They had more than two tips here.
They had more than two tips before the Boston Atrocity.
[and they let them in without a Passport].
Same for Miami, and place after place.

for the American People than the proven-corrupt,
proven-inept, FBI ==> p<.0001

whew....that's scary. He was so organized. One can't help but wonder if he had help from the inside.

More laws (guns or otherwise) and more restrictions won't solve the problem. The problem is isolated drug-addled (prescription and illegal) people who have no meaningful connection to community. They can't distinguish fantasy from reality. They have no obligations to family, jobs, or even having to work to survive. They live in a country that's in constant war, with a culture that has deteriorated to total decadence and disrespect for life.

How the heck does that get fixed?

You know, this event, Mateen at Pulse Nightclub, Ft. Hood, - FBI is dropping the ball after having direct knowledge and suspicion. Maybe they should stop looking for Russians under the bed to satisfy the DNC and the media.


And you include Las Vegas etc.

So true. Just now the Rosenstein inquiry has concluded Russia was meddling in our election process (whoop dee fricken do), but “there is no evidence their meddling had any influence.”

Well, federal law enforcement slacking off truly dangerous threatening people HAS HAD A HUGE INFLUENCE with many innocent people NOT HERE ANY MORE. Let’s focus on protecting lives of the American people. That’s your only job.

On our local democrat propaganda “news” radio station, KYW1060 am. They had a sound bite from “someone who knew him”.

“...is the rest of the story....”

It’s pretty much the ONLY story.

They could care less about dead children, as long as it furthers their little commie agenda. And how they can use the grieving parents afterwards.

RE Good summation:

I guess my point, maybe not made so well, is that we shouldn’t jump to any conclusions, re “this guy is an asset” etc.

The Vegas shooter, yes, maybe. That whole affair smells like a week old dead fish.

But this one - just a deranged throw-away kid full of hate that had enough and finally snapped, and a system full of worthless Alphabet Agencies that f*cked up the ONE job they’re supposed to do.

The obvious answer, make Fire Alarms Illegal.

I’ll Email Jimmy Kimmel with the suggestion.

He also took an UBER to get to the School. Make UBER Illegal too.
>

Sad to say, but he’s the best criminal mind to note in some while:

- Uber’d in
- Pulls fire alarm
- Does the deeds
- Blends in w/ rest of school to safety
- Gets picked up @ McD’s? (did I read that right???)

Boy had a PLAN for *everything*

I still haven’t heard squat about the one-site presence or the police response time (might be lack of Google-fu)
