Point taken. However, the blame lies here:
1. Genetics -or possibly Drugs and Alcohol abuse with the biological parents. Those are likely the strongest contributing factors for Nik.
2. The Adoption agency that placed two infants with aged-out parents (combined age in excess of 100 YO) who would likely be unable to cope or die.
3. Unfortunate circumstances - his father dying when he was six and his mother unable to control him.
3. 2013 Broward School Board which instituted a sanctuary program that hides at-risk violent juvenile delinquents from law enforcement to the detriment of the rest of the school and community. Sue them!
4. Broward School Board for mainstreaming an abnormal child in need of specialized emotional and educational support to the detriment of the rest oh his classmates, teachers and school.
5. Broward Sherriff’s office for not acting to protect the family and community in spite of 39 visits to handle a severely disturbed teen spiraling out of control.
6. The FBI for ignoring two blatant mounds of evidence that foretold a walking time-bomb set to detonate.
Someone should have been held accountable for the mistakes and malpractice that occurred at HCA Hospitals - possibly Scott. That is unrelated to this. To follow your logic, the Broward Superintendent of schools should be fired. The Super did not institute the sanctuary policy, the 2013 Board of Education is responsible for that decision.
There’s plenty of failure within the family and the system that raised and dealt with Nik Cruz. It is not the governor’s job to micromanage each of Florida’s 80-odd school districts or law enforcement agencies.
It is the FBI’s job to thwart terrorism and crime throughout America and they had 1,000 agents at their disposal in the local area who could have acted to stop Cruz.
Unfortunately, The Agency has demonstrated a distinct pattern of ignoring leads and not acting to intercept terrorist acts and mass murderers that threaten our communities: Boston, Orlando, NYC, Garland TX, San Bernadino and Ft. Hood come to mind.
Great points, and thank you.
I was attempting to be critical of the Governor’s emotional call for the FBI Director to resign. Just as Rick Scott shouldn’t be held “accountable” (punished) for all of the inappropriate acts and omissions of individuals and poor work processes within HCA (or for that matter within Florida State government) in my view neither should the relatively new FBI Director be likewise punished for all of the individual errors and bad work processes of the thousands of individuals within the FBI... The leaders jobs are to focus on improvement, perfection will not happen with imperfect people and processes in place...
