Here’s Why Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Never Reported Nikolas Cruz to the Police
The Truth About Guns ^ | Feb 16 2018 | Luis Valdes

Nikolas Cruz was a known threat. Known by the administrators of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It’s a clear case where a known dangerous student was not reported to the police. Why?

Because back in 2013, the Broward County School Board adopted a program where they don’t relay information to police about troubled students.

NPR reported in Fla. School District Trying To Curb School-To-Prison Pipeline;

It’s a move away from so-called “zero tolerance” policies that require schools to refer even minor misdemeanors to the police. Critics call it a “school to prison pipeline.”

Under a new program adopted by the Broward County School District, non-violent misdemeanors — even those that involve alcohol, marijuana or drug paraphernalia — will now be handled by the schools instead of the police.

Cruz was banned from carrying a backpack at school after bullets were found in his backpack. Cruz was expelled from MSD last year after a fight with his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend.

Non-violent misdemeanors? Even so, red flags were flying.

Again, the Broward County School Board has an official policy requiring that they don’t tell the police about non-violent incidents with troubled youth.

A few years ago, I think it was the Dallas PD that categorized attempted house break-ins as vandalism in order to improve crime statistics.

Did y’all know that the superintendent of Broward County Public schools since 2012 came from the Chicago Public School system?

His name is Robert Runcie. He was chief of staff to the superintendent in Chicago. He was friends with Obama in Chicago. Surprise!

school boards are useless they simply implement Fed policy


They are even worse than useless. They put a local stamp of approval on federal policy, and label local dissenters as crackpots.

Broward County is useless. And Sheriff Israel is a less than useless anti-gun cop.

Q. How many FBI agents, local police, and school administrators does it take to stop a school shooter?

A. They have no idea what a school shooter is.

Doesn't that make the legal gun purchase much more interesting, because if he had been reported to the police by the school district, maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't have been cleared to purchase that weapon. Liberal govt tell us what to do, but then they don't actually do what they are telling us that they will do.

Anyone think the liberals on the school board will accept responsibility for their actions?

I used to hang out at Coolangatta, Gold Cost and vicinity when there. In Sydney it was Bondi of course. I sponsored my mate GF to the US and she’s also now working for Frontier like me.

They don’t care, it’s not their money, it’s our money.
If they could personally be held accountable it would be a different story. Let them hire attorneys, go to court, and have to face these families. Let them have to pay the lawyers and pay the cost and you might see a change.

The FBI were and are to busy trying to frame PRESIDENT TRUMP for something imaginary to actually follow up on a real stated threat.

He was kicked out of his school. They sent him to Cross Creek school, basically a school for the emotionally challenged, a tightly controlled environment, then transfered him to MSD high school. They knew, they all knew!

Must be a new, non-violent form of fighting. “Combat Yoga!”
