Broward School Violence: Cruz's Massacre Is Far From the Whole Story
Real Clear Investigations ^ | 04/15/2018 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 04/15/2018 10:53:30 AM PDT by Rusty0604

Broward County, Fla., school officials portray as a great success their Obama administration-inspired program offering counseling to students who break the law, instead of having them arrested or expelled. They insist that it played no role in February’s school massacre by Nikolas Cruz. They also claim that in fact juvenile recidivism rates are down and school safety is up, thanks to the program.

The evidence tells a far different story.

Broward County juvenile justice division records, federal studies of Broward school district safety and the district's own internal reporting show that years of “intensive" counseling didn’t just fail to reform repeat offender Cruz, who allegedly went on to shoot and kill 17 people at his high school. Records show such policies have failed to curtail other campus violence and its effects now on the rise in district schools — including fighting, weapons use, bullying and related suicides.

Meanwhile, murders, armed robberies and other violent felonies committed by children outside of schools have hit record levels, and some see a connection with what’s happening on school grounds. Since the relaxing of discipline, Broward youths have not only brazenly punched out their teachers, but terrorized Broward neighborhoods with drive-by shootings, gang rapes, home invasions and carjackings.

Broward County now has the highest percentage of “the most serious, violent [and] chronic” juvenile offenders in Florida, according to the county’s chief juvenile probation officer.

There are no photos of a pregnant Michelle to be found. Supposedly no birth records under their names, etc. The person who stumbled upon and made the link was subsequently jailed on weird charges.

But regardless, IMO, the resemblance of both daughters to the O’s close friends is undeniable. Not only the resemblance in facial features, but the walking gait and stances for Malia and Martin are the same as well.

Whatever....

“There are no photos of a pregnant Michelle to be found. “

Unproven statement and irrelevant. People around them would have known she wasn’t pregnant.

“Supposedly no birth records under their names, etc.”

Unproven. You can’t prove something doesn’t exist.

IMO, there is too much “coincidence” for their close friends to both have such strong resemblances to M & S. It gives it away.

For me, it’s too strong to deny. But, in the words of HRD, lol, “At this point, what difference does it make?”. LOL, I guess none. But, believe whatever you want to believe, AppyPappy. I don’t care.

I don’t know where they were living or for how long or who their friends were at the time.

If these people were my close friends and I weren’t a part of it, I for sure wouldn’t be opening my mouth to question ANYTHING they were doing.

A real person. Close with Obama, I believe. How close? Don’t know.

And Trayvon — and, not hard to imagine, more than we can ever know due to emboldened entitled generation with no consequences. Thanks for post.

Thanks; There’s been a cone of silence lowered on any disclosure of Obama policy implementation by the GOPES (GOP Elite Snobs) on both the Zimmerman trial aftermath and Parkland when it comes to both incidents.
