So are you promoting jailing someone who has not harmed anyone yet? I'm sure the next Des administration will LOVE that rule, especially since they enjoy corrupting the FBI and DOJ. How many Conservatives do you think they could fit in the prisons and camps?
What exactly do you suggest be "done"?
This would be about coaching the troubled.
No. However, this kid was expelled for making threats against other students. He commented on a youtube video about being “a professional school shooter.” If I walk into a building and tell you that I am going to shoot you, I can be locked up for making a terroristic threat. This nut made specific threats against this school prior to this.
“What exactly do you suggest be “done”? “
Lots of things, he made online threats. Every student and teacher in the school knew he was a danger. The FBI was informed about him. He had a past of bringing ammunition to school and getting into fights.
So what to do? Howzabaout no FBI managed to interview him despite having his name and address? From there, you learn about the recent dead mommy and him crashing with friends and maybe arrange mental health intervention. With a mental health intervention (adjudicated) you get him to not pass a background check for guns and you have him in a nutcracker now for any new violations.
Any menacing posts, stopping by the school, etc you lock him up.
There is a whole lot that can be done..... but you have to not be lazy or carry a leftist concern about not locking up a mentally ill type.
The kid threatened to shoot up a school on a YouTube website 6 months ago. The FBI were called, did a cursory interview with the reporter, and still he was able to pull this off. I would think that should warrant some flags, and you'd think the school officials would've been interviewed and confirmed this kid was indeed a menace and a threat. Somebody dropped the ball either the FBI or school administration (probably citing some school privacy "policy").
