This school in Florida had the good sense to kick this guy out in order to protect the rest of the students but my question is whether or not this confessed mass killer was neglected by the FBI due to bias? We are so used to people complaining about profiling but there is no denying that in this case the perp and the rest of the world would be much better off today had someone at the FBI acted on the information that they had on this guy.
Was this tragedy a consequence of intentional or unintentional bias? It seems clear that everyone knew this guy was going to do something like this and that it was only a matter of time.
I remember one case that was similar. There was a complete whack-job on the loose who had been fired as a teacher. People were quitting their jobs so they wouldn’t have to deal with him. A Republican elected official stepped down out of fear for his own safety as well as that of his staff and his family. It was only a matter of time before the former teacher did something horrible. Eventually, he tried but came up against a very determined and formidable elementary school principal and brave teachers who disarmed him and took him down before he could harm the kids.
Now if I had done even a small fraction of what either of these guys had done, various authorities would have come down on me like a ton of bricks. Threaten a politician? His staff?? I actually get in trouble for not tap-dancing around giant inflated egos and incompetent nitwits quickly enough!!
.....”the world would be much better off today had someone at the FBI acted on the information that they had on this guy.”.....
Well they did....the guy had broken no laws and had no previous record so what are they suppose to do? There are bad people out there 24/7 how can you watch all? You cannot.
School authorities did what they could, so did the parent, and FBI....this shooter wanted to kill kids at that school be it a gun or whatever he was intent on doing great damage....regardless of who intervened.
