The FBI Was Warned About A School Shooting Threat From A YouTube User Named Nikolas Cruz In September

In September, a YouTube user named Nikolas Cruz left a comment on a video stating: "I'm going to be a professional school shooter." The video's creator alerted both the FBI and YouTube.

Last fall, a Mississippi bail bondsman and frequent YouTube vlogger noticed an alarming comment left on one of his videos. "I'm going to be a professional school shooter," said a user named Nikolas Cruz.

The YouTuber, 36-year-old Ben Bennight, alerted the FBI, emailing a screenshot of the comment to the bureau's tips account. He also flagged the comment to YouTube, which removed it from the video.

Agents with the bureau's Mississippi field office got back to him "immediately," Bennight said, and conducted an in-person interview the following day, on Sept. 25.

"They came to my office the next morning and asked me if I knew anything about the person," Bennight told BuzzFeed News. "I didn't. They took a copy of the screenshot and that was the last I heard from them."

The FBI don't have time for stuff like this. They're too busy helping Democraps steal elections.

There is a killing and the news reports: The FBI was informed. It is a pattern.

And it’s beyond just the FBI getting a tip about a youtube comment, the school knew that this ADULT former student was a person who’d made threats to them.

This should lead to a class-action lawsuit. The FBI HAS to be held responsible on this one.

Hillary got as far as she did with 900 FBI files on people and friends in high places.

Nicklaus Cruz was a leftist antifa supporter, who went over the edge with the success of Donald Trump, and the hate-filled rhetoric of Democrats like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. He was triggered by the wolf-whistles of Barak Obama, Maxine Waters, and the NFL.

Does the writers of these things ever take writing classes? Do they know about dangling participles and misplaced modifiers?

Idiocracy: “why come no tattoo?”

If they could not care less about stopping 9/11, they sure won’t stop a school shooting. They seem to just exist to entrap & ensnare & thereby create crimes. They are worse than useless.

I just wonder how many of these types of warnings does the FBI get. Based upon the posts you see on the Internet I bet too many to handle.

Mr. Sessions, here is your opportunity to get the FBI back on track (or for the less charitable of us, put it on track to begin with).

By allowing it to happen, they promote the leftist agenda. Time for a complete sweep in the fbi - all liberals OUT!
