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 system worked and once again the FBI failed.
Time to disband it and rebuild a new agency from the ground up.
I’ve heard a student threaten to shoot up a school before. It was reported to the principal. The student received a scolding. The student was close to moving on to middle school, so the student would be someone else’s problem. Shuffle them through. The teachers were very upset by how that was handled. But they didn’t speak up because if you speak up, you end up on the principal’s poo poo list.
The tipster should have claimed gender bias in trying to use the girls room bathroom. The feds would have been all over that.
Agree.
“Much as I despise Comey, wasn’t all this after his watch?”
Article says September. Assume 2017. Guess that would be Wray. ?
Another failure brought to us by the FBI.
The slogan is: See Something, Say Something
The government never promised to do anything with information we provide...
/s (just in case anyone can't figure it out)
yes, basically harassing and threatening the person bringing this threat to their attention.
You are correct. But no matter who is/was in charge, I think a large number of the 2nd and 3rd tier FBI big-wigs were too busy trying to cover their own assess in September in September 2017 to take care of anything as frivolous as conducting an investigation in to a potential terrorist attack...
FBI too busy framing Trump.
The FBI are cucks. Super good at congratulating themselves for no actual reason when a perp is caught by the efforts of others.
Remember how the FBI kicked their own agent off the Smart case for using America’s Most Wanted? And, then they took credit when it was solved?
That pretty well sums it up. The liberals are continually baiting with hate speech.
I think the FBI will be dragged down into the dirt on this episode. This is one single episode that they could have prevented.
Why would the FBI care about this? They’re in the business (and business is booming) of enabling and protecting treason and child rape, not stopping mass murderers.
Few people recall that was truly the start of weaponizing the intel community(1993). btw, I refer to Alger Hiss as the first un secretary general since he is the one who wrote the charter and used himself as the acting secretary general of the organization until the general council could be formed to elect a secretary general - another detail/trick question few know.
FBI found direct ties between 9/11 hijackers and Saudis living in Florida; Congress kept in dark
By Anthony Summers and Dan Christensen, BrowardBulldog.org
UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175 HITS THE WORLD TRADE CENTER’S SOUTH TOWER
Just two weeks BEFORE the 9/11 hijackers slammed into the Pentagon and World Trade Center, members of a Saudi family abruptly left their luxury home near Sarasota, leaving a brand new car in the driveway, a refrigerator full of food, fruit on the counter — and an open safe in the master bedroom.
In the weeks to follow, law enforcement agents not only discovered the home was visited by vehicles used by the hijackers, but phone calls were linked between the home and those who carried out the death flights — including leader Mohamed Atta — in discoveries never before revealed to the public.......
>>How about communicating terroristic threats over the internet?
I have seem commenters in this forum say things like “If event X happens, then it is going to be Civil War Two.” Should we be reporting those kinds of threats to the FBI?
Delete the fbi. They worthless as well as useless. Can’t even hijack an election.
Yep.
JTTF. Fusion centers to bring Washington DC type corruption to a law enforcement agency near you.
