Anthony Borges, a Parkland shooting victim who was shot five times, released a statement on Friday that criticized the Broward County Sheriffs Office for failing to protect students.
Borges, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, was recently released from the hospital but remains in a wheelchair. He was shot five times while barricading a classroom door to prevent Nikolas Cruz from getting to his classmates.
The survivor appeared with his lawyer, Alex Arreaza, at a press conference on Friday evening. Arreaza read a statement on Borges behalf that placed blame on Sheriff Scott Israel, the Broward County School District, and the Broward deputies who did not enter while Cruz was shooting up the school.
I know Ive been called Iron Man, the statement said. And while Im honored to be called this, I am not. Im a 15-year-old whos been shot five times, while Broward Sheriffs deputies waited outside and decided that they werent going to come in the building.

This is a REAL survivor. Camera Hogg wasnt even a bystander.
I want him and Hogg in a recorded one-on-one debate, neutrally moderated.
I’m sure the MSM will be eager to plaster this kid’s face all over the news and grant him lots of air time as he explains exactly who is to blame for failing the students and teachers at Parkland. /sarcasm
“I thought somewhere along the line, a female police captain ordered the first responders to NOT enter “
I recall that it was the male Broward guys cowering outside, and female cops from the neighboring city or county blew past the “men” to enter the school. I may be wrong, but that’s what I remember.

Probably best to stop repeating your version until you check the facts.
It was officers from the Coral Springs PD. I've never seen a mention of gender.
Start your education here: Broward sheriff's captain who gave initial order to 'stage' not enter Stoneman Douglas is ID'd
I only made a SWAG based on a much earlier post(earlier as in near the time of the incident) about the Capt. that told the troops to NOT enter despite the department policy to confront. I don’t think I mentioned the Coral Springs LEOs at all. The italicized piece you posted is not mine and even at that the opening does not state a fact, just a recollection of the events as reported at the time. I do recall a mention of gender from a report put out way back when. In any case, thanks for the link showing the gender of the person who apparently violated department policy.
I was replying to MayflowerMadam. I just copied you.
;-) I see. LOL! No problem.
