There is a long breitbart article describing how the NAACP was upset about student arrests and a policy of not arresting students was established. I t would appear that the enforcement was so strong that many repeated complaints about Cruz were totally ignored because to act would cause abandonment of the hands off policy of not only the school but the Broward county school system.
FBI aside, local law enforcement made numerous responses to complaints about Cruz but apparently took no action.
There have been at least two threads referencing the lengthy article but I do not have them at hand
School employees don’t arrest people. Cops were called on this kid over 30 times but cops couldn’t come up with even onecharge to arrest him for? Why?
The article describes the problem
There is a hands off mindset
Any licensing or permit requirement is a direct infringement upon the rights recognized in the second amendment.
There is a reason why the shooters don’t shoW up at police stations or even Walmart! They fear armed citizens!
Too bad the students can’t understand that.
Here's the thing.
The corrupt ruling elite don't own stocks in mental institutions. They own stocks in Pharmaceutical Manufacturers.
IIRC, the biggest 'influencing' factor was Geraldo Rivera's EXPOSE on the Willowbrook State School.
For later...
Wish you were right, but you’re not.
The only weapon that will ultimately be left to us is Non Compliance.
The Liberals, Media and Politicians are using these Kids convincing the Public that “doing something” is the only answer, which is code for dismantling our God Given Constitutional Rights as outlined in the Second Amendment.
As usual, it will be incremental, but our changing demographics and the idea that the Government is here to protect you will only continue to be accepted.
To Conservatives and Libertarians, the Federal Government is a necessary Evil. To the rest of our Population, the Federal Government is embraced as a fulfilling part of their lives. They have no idea what Freedom even means.
What you say is correct. I know there are no mental institutions-and I know why- but the question was about solutions and institutions ARE part of the answer.
There are many people wondering the same thing. Who paid for the buses? Consider it is 450 miles each way from Broward County to Washington DC. That will include the cost for the driver's overnight stay in a hotel and 15% gratuity. At the higher price per mile of $5.50, that's $4,950 plus $742.50 (gratuity) plus $237 for hotel = $5929.50 for one 55 passenger charter. If the students paid for the charter out of their own pocket it would be $107.81. I doubt that will happen. Will the students stay in the bus overnight? If not, the costs for hotel must be considered. For instance, a quick check showed that one night at the Phoenix Park Hotel is $237/room for up to 4 adults on March 23rd (the night before the March 24th march on Washington). If some generous Lefty, that's about $3258.75 for 55 students. For the cost of the charter plus the one night's hotel stay, that's a grand total of . . . drum roll. . . .$9188.25! Ouch!
So, for each busload of protesters from Broward County to Washington DC that's $9188.25. Those are not "crums."
Definitely.
Pocket change for people like Soros. There are many who are willing to pay such a meager amount just to make Trump look bad.
