We know they were also informed about the YouTube comment, and despite the guy having his name in his profile, despite it being an odd spelling, and despite a Google search showing an Instagram of a guy with weapons & dead animals, the FBI said they couldn't find him.

From Breitbart:

The FBI admits it failed to act on a warning about Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz when informed about potentially dangerous behavior.

The warning came from a person close to Cruz on an anonymous FBI tipline warning about his possession of a gun, his disturbing social media posts, and his desire to kill people, according to the FBI.

The tip off was delivered on January 5, 2018.

The information was not sent to the FBI Miami field office, which the FBI blamed on a failure to act under “established protocols.”

“We are still investigating the facts,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “I am committed to getting to the bottom of what happened in this particular matter.”

Wray added that it was the FBI’s job to “act properly and quickly” when informed of troubling behavior by the public. He expressed “regret” for the additional pain that the information would have for families and friends of those killed by Cruz.

The FBI is too busy meddling in politics to bother with school shooters.

How many agents are slated for transfer to Fairbanks, Alaska?

The entire FBI agency appears to be staffed with nincompoops.

The FBI is too busy trying to execute a Coup to be bothered with a simple criminal situation.

Lowlife control is more effective than gun control. There was a time in America when one street smart cop would have handled this kid. No problem.

So WHO gave the order to field agents to STAND DOWN? We all know the Deep State gun grabbers WANT school shootings to happen in order to forward the ensuing "ban guns" narrative exactly as we're seeing in this case, so..

WHO AT THE FBI GAVE THE ORDER TO STAND DOWN in order to ALLOW this school shooting to happen?

Much to do about nothing, as his crime was not a federal matter. Murder, even mass murder, is a state issue.

Why is this out of breaking news? Just broke on Breitbart, Daily Mail, and Reuters, Wall Street Journal, etc. within the past 15 minutes. This is new info about a different report.

“Meddling in politics”?

That’s a nice way to put it. I’d call it actively interfering in a US election by illegally conspiring and colluding to elect a democrat.

Besides. Agents are too busy sending 50,000 texts to each other. Who has time to worry about some punk in Florida?

The FBI was too busy stonewalling Congress and declaring it’s unconstitutional independence to actually worry about protecting the citizens.

Well, to be fair - the FBI’s mishandling of this shooter has been headline news for well over a day now.

This really is old news.

Did the FBI pass the information over to the locals?
