Florida police released the mugshot of the 10-year-old boy they publicly arrested and perp walked for allegedly threatening a mass shooting at his elementary school.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno, who touts himself as Florida's 'law and order sheriff,' defended publicly exposing the juvenile by saying 'a child pulling a trigger equals the same aftermath.'
Daniel Issac Marquez, 10, was arrested Saturday and charged with making a written threat to conduct a mass shooting after sending a text about Patriot Elementary School in Cape Coral.
The boy's alleged text read: 'I scammed my friend' and included a Google image of money, according to his arrest report.
'I bought this,' he added a few seconds later, a included an image of four assault rifles.
Marquez then stated: 'Get ready for water day,' referencing a recent school-sponsored event in which students participate in water activities, like playing in sprinklers.
'He described wads of cash and 'get ready' to commit a mass shooting,' Marceno said of the text during a W radio interview Monday, adding: 'We don't wait one second. We investigate every threat as if it's real.'
'Every single threat is real. Every threat is real until you prove not,' Marceno added.
The sheriff also commented on the boy's very public arrest, saying that 'fake threats' result in 'real consequences.'
'I did a campaign. Fake threat, real consequence. While I understand the boy is 10 years old. His brain's not fully developed, he's a juvenile, I have to tell you. When a 10-year-old presses a trigger, the aftermath is the same regardless of the age,' the sheriff explained.

I have not looked into this in-depth but there seems to be a common denominator with these shooters of a missing father. Either the father is dead, disengaged or divorced from the mother. Children need a strong father figure in their lives but because this does not fit the Leftist narrative, it never gets talked about.
modern times
Charles Manson looked normal when he was young too you always have to keep an eye on them they change at some point.
FWIW, the gang bangers I know from my students in the hood, usually have a teardrop tatt [one for every kill], or, so I was told.
A generation ago, the child was being raised by a grandmother. Today most of these *grands* have passed away
Dad in not in the picture; the mom is in prison.
