Can’t argue that point.

I was incorrect in my previous statement. It was a ‘security guard’ that saw him walking into the school, not a teacher. I stand corrected.

But, I have to be honest with those in the Free Republic world. 98% of says that Cruz was just some eff’d up, violent sociopathic monster, but 2% says that there is something far more sinister going on. I’ll take my tinfoil hat off, now.

I recognize that. My thought is that his teachers and students around him had him pegged for a long time. The teachers had a legal duty to act as his parent while he was in one of their classes.

That one teacher that wouldn’t let students into his room should be run out of town on a rail.

Mr. Pollack and his sons are doing great work. I remember the first time I saw him — during the chaos. He was sitting in his car wearing a “Trump 2020” shirt — a bold move in that neck of the woods. I believe he was waiting for his daughter, not knowing she had been murdered.

“””Cruz’s records suggest that his reign of terror at Westglades Middle School began halfway through his seventh-grade year, in February of 2013. For the next calendar year, Cruz was suspended every other day. Why did the school allow him to remain enrolled despite his daily, deranged behavior for a full year? Not by negligence, but by policy.

Students with disabilities are supposed to be educated in the “least restrictive environment” possible, regardless of whether their disability is that they’re dyslexic or a psychopath, and the paperwork requirements to send them to a specialized school can take many months.”””


Here is how I see things.

The Leftist Run Government Schools intentionally create these monsters like Cruz so that at some point these monsters have a breaking point and shoot a bunch of people.

How else will the Leftists take away our rights to carry guns?

I remember researching and sharing articles here about Runcie and his rather dubious past as a school administrator. Looking back, it is a very disturbing thing to think about how that person’s (Runcie’s) actions were that great deal responsible for what happened and that how the rotten and bloated celebrity culture tried to protect something like that, with Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney doling money out to David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez and the young activists they represented.

re: “Unfortunately, it seems to me that as the dust starts to settle after one of these events, there are more questions that we’ll never get an answer to.”

HAve to disagree; anyone with half a brain knows the answer: government failed at several points in this tragedy, including that cop who stood outside the shooting for 27 minutes holding a perimeter ...

Dare I say that that teacher should be charged with Reckless Conduct and Endangering the Life of a Child(or whatever the Florida code section says), one count for as many students that tried to get in.

“whose side is fbi on?”

It’s obvious to anyone paying attention, the FBI is playing for the other team.

I agree with you. The cop, can’t say for sure if he would have stopped it cold, in it’s tracks, before anyone was hurt, but he damn sure could have prevented the severity of what happened. And lets not forget the security guard that saw the kid, with the case, and said nothing.

But, aside from all of that, for me at least, there seems to be way more to this story and questions that will never be answered.

“How else will the Leftists take away our rights to carry guns?”

A good point - got to plant plenty of “causes” out there so they can say their preferred solution will address the problem. Of course, their “causes” are merely symptoms of deeper causes that they don’t want to address since that would be messy. Not nearly as messy as cleaning up the scene of a mass murder perpetrated by the sociopath you refused to deal with meaningfully, though...

“I remember researching and sharing articles here about Runcie and his rather dubious past as a school administrator.”

From up close and personal observation, those of Runcie’s ilk rarely arrive at the administrative level of metropolitan schools without a lot of “dubious” attached to their career.

The FIB: making certain that investigations involving the interests of the global elite go nowhere.

“The NYPost should be commended for printing information that doesn’t fit the liberal agenda.”

Agreed - I may have to get a copy of the book in order to have the info close at hand in the oncoming rush of the “do something” crowd on the recent tragedies in TX & OH. It seems this book, and especially this chapter, shows there are always clear precursors to violence that are not addressed by those with that responsibility. These recent shootings are likely very similar in that aspect.

“... intentionally create these monsters ...”

Not so much “intentionally create”, but they sure as Hell seem to be able to identify them early on and think “Hmm... how can we use this asset?”

This kids mental condition was f***ed from day one, apparently, as Moonman62 noted earlier up-thread in post #3.

This little psychopath was a time bomb waiting to go off. And he did.

And the Left rubbed their hands in joy and did their little dance in the blood, like always.

I think those talking conspiracy should use a little common sense . . . if this kid was this psychopathic in MIDDLE SCHOOL he would have done something quicker if others were pulling the strings.

I wrote a lengthy recap of this incident for Inside Lacrosse (plenty of lacrosse connections in this horror show, including Andrew, who was the statistician for St. Thomas Aquinas down here and who plays Master events) and what the Post excerpted is pretty clear, a kid who finally took the last step in his fantasy and was able to do so because a LOT of adults f***ed up along the way. And a POSTER CHILD for who should have been ‘red flagged’.

Andrew (who I do know personally) is the true unsung hero of all of the aftermath, and I’ll be first in line to buy his book.

I’ve heard Andrew on the radio a few times. He has tremendous inner strength. Scott Israel will be running for Sheriff again and will get reelected easily. Broward county has a majority of vile and disgusting people.
