Campus monitor tells how he chased Cruz before Parkland shooting erupted
Sun Sentinel ^ | 5/31/18 | Tonya Alanez, Paula McMahon and Anne Geggis

Medina was the first to see Nikolas Cruz step onto the Parkland campus on Feb. 14. He tuned into the 19-year-old getting out of a gold-colored Uber and striding purposefully toward the 1200 building.

“He’s beelining. He’s got his head down. He’s on a mission, you know. He’s on a mission,” Medina later told investigators.

Medina radioed ahead to a fellow campus monitor assigned to that building to warn him that a suspicious kid — who Medina did not suspect was carrying a gun in his duffel bag — was heading for the east-side entrance.

Cruz broke into a run when he noticed Medina coming his way on a golf cart “kind of chasing him.” Cruz then slipped inside the building.

In less than a minute, Medina heard “the first bang, like pow.”

Campus security had long been leery of Cruz.

“I’m telling you I knew who the kid was,” Medina, 39, of Coral Springs, told investigators. “Because we had a meeting about him last year and we said, ‘if there’s gonna be anybody who’s gonna come to this school and shoot this school up, it’s gonna be that kid.’”

I thought the teacher(s) saw someone in full body armor? How could he get out of the Uber and run with guns, bag of gear and ammo? Leaves more questions than answers.

>> Campus security had long been leery of Cruz.

Like I’ve been saying, officials in both the school district and sheriffs’ dept should be prosecuted for manslaughter.

Exactly.

A strong offense to compensate for the weak defense regardless of facts. That’s what the Democrat Thug Party does best.

When reached on Wednesday, Medina disputed what he told investigators while under oath.

My blood pressure and anger are off the charts about this and the new revelations about the Vegas scum.

The Parkland shooting could have been stopped at many instances. It's maddening those responsible for protecting these kids are complete scumbag losers and still walking free.

I thought he (Cruz) went into a bathroom and even warned a student that he better disappear quickly. Why wasn’t a lockdown immediately ordered? Imposter on campus. Immediate lockdown. Why aren’t students going through gates?

Our oldest sons’ high school in Tucson had the best protocol for anyone entering campus. Everybody went through a guarded gate. The most unsafe times were when students were arriving and filing onto the campus grounds and when students were leaving. But no one could just drive up and go onto campus.

If the left weren’t so busy foaming at the mouth at the NRA, it might ask why its own “it takes a village” had failed. It failed, I think, because said village tried to wash its hands of the special needs status of Cruz. He was an unruly kid and yet... he did great at a special needs academy. But, I bet, that cost more than they wanted to pay.

But you know? Guns are a vastly more sexy topic than special needs students are.

I chalk this all up to the Obama Regime with its racist vision of Black Supremacy. It is Obama’s school-leniency policy called the PROMISE program that warped the concept of accountability and left Cruz free to act out his demonic urges.

People are complaining on Facebook that Trump hasn’t done anything yet. Bet he mandates(?) something like what your son’s school does.
