WND has compiled the following list of recent school attacks that were stopped before they ever happened – thanks to quick actions of police, school officials, concerned parents and students who are boldly speaking up and taking action to prevent the loss of another innocent life.
Alabama
Foley Middle School in Foley: Police arrested a 14-year-old male student who reportedly threatened to “shoot up the school” on Feb. 20.
Police say the student told someone he was “going to shoot up the school by the end of the year.”
An individual who knew of the threat informed a school resource officer. The teen was immediately arrested and is being charged with making a terroristic threat.
Police say they haven’t found evidence that he intended to follow through with a shooting.
“A lot of what we’re hearing is ‘Oh it was a joke.’ No, it’s not a joke. If you do this, we take it seriously and respond accordingly,” said Thurston Bullock from the Foley Police Department, Fox 10 reported. “We don’t want to see kids mess up their lives because they are joking around. And it’s not a joke when we have something as serious as Florida and things like this happening across the nation. It’s a serious matter, and we’re going to treat it accordingly.”
Arkansas
Fayetteville High School in Fayetteville: A student was arrested Feb. 16 after the individual made a Snapchat post threatening to “shoot up the high school like they did in Florida.” The student, who claimed the post was a joke, was arrested due to the serious nature of the threat. The individual is being held at the Washington County Juvenile Detention Center.

Adds evidence that Broward County and the FBI were incompetent in Florida.
That is some list!
Also is worrying if there are a lot of these kinds of things being thwarted...
Amazing what happens, when Law Enforcement responds appropriately.
It appears local police departments are still hiding behind information walls they construct to keep the public and other departments in the dark. I’d love to see the common elements these thwarted shooters share; SSRIs? untreated mental illness? liberalism? theft of guns?
“Incompetent” is being too kind.
Total 34!
...and lookie there, not just white.
Studying might solve the problem too...
This article is HUGH!
It completely undermines the confiscation lobby.
Cuts them off at their knees.
Hoping conservative media gets a hold of this!
Its also evidence that schools must be free from bureaucratic structures, liability and regulations which simply cause the edu-apparatchiks to ignore dangerous kids in their midst like Nicholas Cruz.
Kentucky didn't make the list but there were 6-7 arrests here this past weekend.
Wow!
Now if we can get law enforcement to be consistently proactive, we’ll save untold lives.

How many innocent parents have had firearms confiscated?
The talk shows and the media are busy blaming guns and politicking the incident shifting the blame when they should be furthering the need for student security.
Particularly since there have been examples occurring of such episodes worldwide the sources of which the media refuses to identify (MUZZIES) let alone acknowledge. Because it doesn’t fit their political NRA anti gun agenda .
In the Parkland FL case, their security system should be brought to public scrutiny . Particularly of the policies employed. For starters this school has a so called “gun free zone”. It does have a parking lot officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart , but bans guns from the rest of its internal security .
Because of their Ding Bat liberal policies it brings up another question. Just how safe and secure are those kids ? There’s a lot of krap that happens; Assaults, fights, thefts, books and items stolen, teachers accosted,(by Cruz BTW) kids intimidated. Drugs being pushed ...
Examine records reporting how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur and have here were being dealt with.
Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside. But MSM citing CNN sources who are using kids one who’s mother is a CNN VP and very anti Trump to pervert uncovering what was incompetence on several levels into a anti gun issue.
The school didn’t ignore him - they expelled him. LE ignored him.

Just shows that the latest school admin is culpable for the 17 dead as they opted to “protect the shooter’s privacy” instead of, gasp....turning him in when he brought ammo to the school...
