"We're here because my daughter has no voice. She was murdered last week and she was taken from us, shot 9 times on the third floor. We as a country failed our children. This shouldn't happen."- Andrew Pollack, father of Meadow Pollack, who was killed in Florida school shooting last week.

Nine times. Poor little girl. Why can’t we go to that jail, take him out, and hang him?
I believe this is the man who was wearing the Trump 2020 shirt while waiting for word on his daughter.
This is the father the leftists declared war on the first day because of his Trump shirt.
Snopes did their best to back up the enemy with a “Mixture” on this one.
This is what someone speaking from the heart sounds like vs a “crisis actor” sounds like....
The problem is that people kill other people, and no amount of gun control or any other kind of government meddling is going to change that simple fact.
As the Left likes to say: Justice delayed is justice denied.
Want closure? Want a shining example in the media which will help prevent the next shooter? Have a swift public trial and execution within 3 months. The entire investigation of the Lincoln assassination and execution of the condemned was less than 3 months.
We now can expect a 3 year time line of evidence gathering, trial, sentencing which proves our justice system has become a bureaucratic clogged toilet.
A few years earlier, at the conclusion of the War, General Washington had put his thoughts on the Common Defence into a May 2, 1783 draft to Alexander Hamilton, entitled Sentiments On A Peace Establishment:
...to prove ...the Policy and expediency of resting the protection of the Country on a respectable and well established Militia, we might not only shew the propriety ...from our peculiar local situation, but we might have recourse to the Histories of Greece and Rome in their most virtuous and Patriotic ages.... we might see, with admiration, the Freedom and Independence of Switzerland supported for Centuries, in the midst of powerful and jealous neighbors, by means of a hardy and well organized Militia. ...
It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice...
The following month, June 8, 1783, Washington reported to the States, in surrendering the solemn trust of his command:
The Militia of this Country must be considered as the Palladium of our security, and the first effectual resort in case of hostility...
Washington's reference to the Swiss was quite revealing. Trained, as school boys, in the safe, correct and deadly accurate use of arms, the Swiss had and have managed to maintain an armed neutrality for generations amidst their more warlike, but less war efficient neighbors. While world travelers have reported for generations that Switzerland, where every household has its own military grade weapons, has the lowest crime rate in Europe. The Swiss have also managed to preserve the diverse rights of their 22 Cantons (or States) better than any other Federation in the world.
Yet perhaps the single most important reason why Washington wanted America to adopt the Swiss system, is that it teaches the youth--in the most immediate and compelling manner--the importance of that level of personal responsibility on which all of our other institutions are based. It gives youth a sense of purpose, importance and self-worth, for which all the words expended by "Liberal" theorists, from the Creation to this day, are no substitute.
Too bad the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits imposing cruel and unusual punishment.
Does Florida have a death penalty? I can’t keep up. Even if it did, he’d sit on death row for 50 years, getting three hots and a cot and all the drugs he wants.
This was a law enforcement failure, from the FBI, all the way down to the deputy on scene.
Someday people will realize that cops do not have a duty to protect and they will not do it.
I’m not 100% sure, but I am betting that Cruz was a dupe. I think that either he didn’t do it at all, or else was manipulated into doing it.
Did you watch any of the videos of him in court? This guy looks to me like he couldn’t even dress himself, much less plan and execute an attack like this.
I understand your sentiment. I’d like to know who was REALLY behind this. Maybe Cruz - I’m not ruling that out. Maybe someone else.

Cops were under standing orders to ignore teen criminal activity at the Broward school. So that the school could get federal funding, they were able to fudge crime statistics that heavily exposed Black/Hispanic crimes in order to falsely claim juvenile delinquency was down 60%!
The level of corruption is so intense - I would not be surprised if the op on duty was under orders to STAND DOWN while children were being murdered. Was he a coward during those 4 minutes he stood outside while Cruz was firing? Or did Sheriff Israel direct him to “set up a perimeter”?
Let’s ask Broward resident Cong Debbie W/S.
CONGRESS: Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) released the following statement on the Broward County school shooting:
“As a Broward County resident for nearly 30 years and an elected official for most of that time, my heart breaks for the victims, their families, friends, and loved ones. As a parent of a Broward County high school student, and as someone with friends whose children attend Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, it is gut wrenching that another senseless school shooting has occurred, this time in our community.
In the United States of America, it is simply unacceptable that we allow children to run for their lives with their backpacks on. Unacceptable that we allow parents to fear for the worst while they wait to hear back from their kids, and unacceptable that we allow survivors of school shootings to live with a trauma that can never be explained away.
I stand with my community and our families and ask all Americans to keep the parents, siblings, spouses and loved ones in their prayers this evening. No American anywhere should have to feel the pain that Broward County feels today, and too many communities have felt across our country countless times before. We must do something about this senseless epidemic of gun violence and we must do it now.”
Nine times? That does not sound random to me. Perhaps she rejected his advances or somehow in his deranged mind, she represented what was wrong with the school?
Just speculating.
It’s very possible. It may be a bit like Carrie, the movie.
Yes it dose. Pam Bondi said this is a death penalty case.
Seventeen students died for the insane Broward/State agreement that manipulated crime statistics to get govt grants.. This is the story the public needs to see
INSTITUTIONAL WELFARE: Broward County Colluded with state officials; the cabal Ignored Crimes Committed By Students In Order To Get Federal Grants
Broward County participated in hiding and excusing student arrests for years “The school system administrators wanted to manipulate their Black/Hispanic crime statistics so as not to appear racist” and to gain state and federal grant money.................”
REALITY CHECK So where’s the FLA pols——Debbie W/S and The Cowgirl Congressperson?
About criminals using students, and planning crimes, AFTER Broward arrest quotas were met?
ACTION NOW

“Why can’t we go to that jail, take him out, and hang him?”
You can, if you have an adequate armed mob. The problem is coming up with an adequate armed mob.
I think you hit the nail on the head.
