Yet Another "Known To Police" Trans Killer

So we have yet another Trans school shooter. This time in Canada.

In yet another abuse of language, the murderer first was  being referred to by Canadian authorities as a gun-person for they don't want to acknowledge it s a trans male that did the killing. 

The RCMP has now switched to calling the killer a female because that was how the killer referred to itself. The CBC is referring to the male killer as "she" and "her", because of course they are.

Had the killer called themselves a Queen would they have been referred to by the RCMP as her highness?

Of course the killer was well known to police to have mental problems and had been visited by police multiple times including being hospitalized  with no effective result.  

Let's see - taking someone who is known to be mentally ill, filling them with sex hormones that are not of their own biological sex, and add on people not just tolerating such mental illness but buying into it, and praising it, and add some recreational drugs into the mix, and turn them loose towards an undefended school and bad stuff is going to happen.

Trans are a very tiny subset of the mentally ill community, but they're certainly becoming a impressively disproportionate source of school killers. 

Then againm it is Canada, so they might just record these deaths as MAID deaths. After all it was the medical treatment "transitioning" this mentally ill individual that was a major cause in these deaths.

Certainly, it also didn't help that it s a rather small town and the local emergency room is only open from 9-5 Monday to Friday, and there often was not more than one ambulance and often no ambulances available - and no one did anything about a clearly mentally deranged person in their midst until it was too late.

Expect further calls for gun bans from the Canadian Liberal government to be made shortly.

If I Had A Nickel Every Time

That a Transi committed a mass shooting in quite recent times, then I'd have 9 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's rather weird that it's happened 9 times.

Since all of 1% if the US population self-identifies as trans (whether they actually are or not, and the methodology to get to that amount is rather suspect), they certainly are having a disproportionate showing in school shooting rankings.

Then again as Trans is practically by definition an indication of being mentally unwell, even as the woke and politically correct have removed it as a diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder this is likely not a huge surprise to most.

Oh, and boy did the New York Times really bury the lede on this one: 

The suspect: The authorities identified the attacker as Robin Westman, a 23-year-old who they believe was a former student at the school. The shooter was armed with three guns, all of which had been legally purchased. 

No mention the shooter was trans at all. Funny, that. And no idea of the motive, of course  -- even as they have the bat rastard's manifesto.

Black Nazis - Are You Allowed To Hate Black Nazis?

I mean, you have clear permission to hate Illinois nazis.

However, in today's weird world of teens with mental health problems, we get not only Black White Supremacists, but now we also have Black Nazis. Or at least we had one.

The Detroit Free Press: Antioch school shooting: What to know about attack in Nashville that left 2 dead

You wouldn't know a key fact if you only got your info from the Detroit Free Press on this murderous scumbag.

The killer mentioned in the article as a "teen boy" with "professing alleged alt-right extremist views about "race mixing," who did the shooting, and then saved everyone the cost of a trial, was Black.

Kind of a relevant and indeed surprising detail, neh?  Impressively not mentioned at all.

Townhall: After These Details, the Antioch High School Shooting Is Going to Get Suffocated by the Media

Yep the killer was indeed a Black Nazi.   Who knew?

That he was a Black nazi likely indicates his education up until he took himself out of the gene pool (sadly killing an innocent while doing so), was rather inadequate when it came to both history and political philosophy. Indeed, this is  likely yet another teen with mental illness acting out.

Apparently The MSU Killer Was Indeed Mentally Ill

And yet, as usual,  no one did anything.

Per the a-hole's uncle, he apparently was a paranoid schizophenzic. (hat tip Eaton Rapids Joe).  Interestingly neither the Detroit News nor the Detroit Free Press chose to report this, instead both giving a feature-length article to the MSU professor where said a-hole shot at the students and killed some. Said professor's emotive screed thus pushing for gun control, who pushes in a manner that shows he has no clue what current laws are, and  that he would not use a gun to defend his students if he had the opportunity (which is his choice, but still).

The Daily Mail:  MSU gunman's uncle says he was 'paranoid schizophrenic' who should have been locked up over 2019 felony gun charge instead of being freed to kill three

Interesting that it's a UK paper discussing this, and the only media outlet  so far pointing out that had he been convicted of the felony instead of the misdemeanor charge from his illegal concealed carry in a vehicle, he would not have been able to legally purchase the firearms he used that night.  No Michigan paper in Detorit nor in Lansing is pointing this out - it would make the woke Ingham County prosecutor whose policy likely helped cause this look bad.

No word if said a-hole was given meds, taking his meds, off his meds, or what not or if the family ever sought to get him actual help.

Why Is The Ingham County Prosecutor's Office Dancing Around The Plea Deal In The Case Of The MSU Killer?

Because the please deal was part of the then -serving Ingham County Prosecutor's non-prosecution policy for "racial justice":

Fox 47 News: Ingham County prosecutor receives support and backlash for policies meant to ease racial disparities

Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemon said, when she was elected in 2016, one of her main goals was to reduce systemic racial bias and racial disparities from law enforcement, but not everyone supports the policies she's put in place to do that.

“I was raised here in Lansing, in a diverse community,” Siemon said. “I’ve always had an interest in civil rights, all aspects of civil rights. As a woman, I’ve been a feminist all my life. LGBTQ Rights, racial disproportionality, immigrants rights. So, when I was elected as prosecutor, my goal was to try and create a more criminal and equitable legal system.”
. . .

In the past month, Siemon has pushed out two policies meant to decrease the number of Black people behind bars.

One of the policies was not pushing felony firearms charges, nor offenses arising from traffic stops - for equity and racial justice, of course.

That worked out really well, didn't it?

More Facts On MSU Murder Confirms Democrats Current Gun Control Proposals Would Not Have Prevented The Incident

Lots more curious information is coming out about the a-hole in question who killed 3 and wounded 5 MSU students.

The Detroit News: MSU shooter Anthony McRae's past shows warning signs

 State officials Tuesday identified 43-year-old [a-hole], who had a history of mental health issues and was charged with multiple gun-related crimes in 2019, as the believed gunman who killed three people and wounded five others at Michigan State University.

Interesting for if he had a "history of mental health issues"  they apparently were both never properly dealt with, nor did he get classified as a harm to himself or others and the info apparently never went anywhere - or if he was, somebody dropped the ball big time.    It will be interesitng to see if they deign to inform us what those mental health issues were.

But wait, there's more!

[a-hole], whom neighbors in Lansing described as a "hell-raiser" who practiced target shooting out his back door, also had a recent history with firearms. And his father, Michael McRae, 66, told The Detroit News that he had encouraged his son to get rid of his guns.

Let's stop right there.

He "practiced target shooting out his back door" in  the City of Lansing.

Lansing has an ordinance, 696.01 prohibiting the discharge of firearms in public, the violation of which is a misdemeanor. There is no record he was ever charged with this, even though apparently police did show up at his house as a result.

Was he doing some of this target shooting while on probation for his misdemeanor?  

If so, that would have violated his probation terms that he could not posses a weapons, and likely would have then been locked up on the high misdemeanor conviction.

Meanwhile, the prosecutor is trying to deflect from their failings in crafting a  plea deal (which to be fair, they do tend to do a lot in this situation, especially for in the current BLM age for BLM-type defendants) that reduced the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor, and thus allowing him to purchase a firearm, complete with passing a background check for same (we will note he would not be eligible for a CPL due to his conviction until 2027).

Ingham County Prosecutor John Dewane, who was appointed to his position in December, argued that, even if McRae had been convicted on the original charge, he likely would have avoided jail or prison time because sentencing guidelines for the two charges are similar and would have resulted in a recommendation against incarceration.

This is called a lie by omission on the part of the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office.

A felony conviction, even with the same terms of probation and no jail, would have prevented him from legally purchasing the firearm from the pawn shop (assuming NICS worked and the record was correctly entered).

Again, even with this information, none of the laws proposed by Whitmer and the Democrats would have prevented this act, yet they will still persist in pushing forward with laws they do know, or at the very least should know, would not have prevented this incident at all.

Meanwhile we have an ongoing mental health crisis in both this state and country, made much worse by the Covid lockdowns, and lack of mental health funding and facilities is contributing to this cycle of a-holes (assuming this a-hole really had mental issues) committing crimes. 

Whitmer and the Democrats, if they really wanted to prevent future murders, would quit this grandstanding on gun control measures they know will be ineffective.  Instead, they should do something effective and increase mental health funding and police/security funding for schools.

Quelle Surprise - MSU Killer Is [Not] A Previously Convicted Felon

The Detroit News: 3 killed, 5 wounded in Michigan State shooting were all students; suspect identified

Turns out the a-hole in question, who shot himself when confronted by police, was previously convicted of a felony and released from supervision in 2021.  Thus he was legally not allowed to possess firearms yet did so anyways last night.  Again, criminal don't obey laws.

The narrative has thus immediately pivoted to gun control, as discussing the problem of Black felons in possession of firearms and committing crimes would raise far too many politically incorrect questions.

That sound you hear is the standard narrative getting flushed down the toilet.

Every single one of the proposed gun control laws that Whitmer demands would not have prevented this situation.  Not a single one.

Update:  No, it turns out he's not a convicted felon.  The felony charge was dropped to a high misdemeanor by the Ingham County Prosecutor. 

And, it turns out he legally bought at least one of the two handguns used in the murder at a pawn shop and thus passed the background check on the purchase.

Thus Whitmer and the Democrat's proposals for more gun control, including "universal background checks" still would not have stopped this as he passed a background check just fine due to a Democrat prosecutor dropping the felony charge to a misdemeanor.

MSU Killer Dead, Democrats Go Straight To Gun Control Narrative

It turns out it was indeed a single murderer a-hole and they was plenty of false reports of shots and of multiple killers when there were not

The killer was a 43 year old Black male, not apparently a student nor an employee of the University. 

This is curious as they also claim they don't know his identity So how do they actually know he was not a student nor an employee?.

No motive yet, victims not identified and unknown if they were students or at some event on campus or what.

The Detroit News: 3 killed, 5 wounded at Michigan State campus shooting; suspect dead


The narrative, given the nature of the shooter, has of course quickly and immediately set on gun control and not on the characteristics of the shooter as it would have otherwise.


The Detroit News: Gov. Whitmer on MSU shooting: 'We cannot accept living like this'

 

Just like clockwork, the Democrats immediately call for gun control and propose lots of new laws that would more likely than not have prevented this attack nor are they waiting for the facts to come out and even attempt to craft a law that would be targeted solely at potential mass killers.

Possible Mass Murder Ongoing At Michigan State University

Apparently, a shooting incident has taken place at a dorm at Michigan State University and is ongoing with the shooter(s) still at large.

The Detroit News: One confirmed dead at MSU campus hall as police search for shooter

The Detroit Freep: Michigan State University police report second shooting at IM East

Current reports will no doubt be revealed to be completely and absolutely wrong. 

Some reports had 2-3 to as many as 7 shooters (which would imply some very problematic coordination and make it a whole different matter), but per most recent reports, which could be wrong too, it seems it is a single a-hole. 

My bet is single a-hole in question will likely have a marked and extensive mental health history with a likelihood towards harm that no one did bugger-all about.

Of course, the whole incident is un-possible as a University Dormitory is a gun-free zone in Michigan, right?

Oh, wait, You're telling me that criminals don't obey these laws?  Surprise.

But, as a result of these laws, there's plenty of unarmed students - including quite a few I know personally who so far thankfully report they are safe but hiding in their dorm rooms or elsewhere - who are now cowering in place without any effective defensive tools.  

Nice victim disarmament zone you got there, be a pity if some a-hole bent on mayhem wandered into it. Yeah, the a-hole just did.

And of course, this takes place in East Lansing, just as the Democrats are on a gun-control push here in Michigan right next door in our state capital, Lansing. I'm not saying its some conspiracy, as the Democrats are always pushing gun control here whenever they can and thus this is not a surprise.  But, now that they have all three branches of government -  expect some bad laws to get rushed through before any calm consideration can take place.

Update 11:22 pm: Police have announced they are still searching for the suspect, described as a "Black male, short in stature, wearing red shoes, a gym jacket and a ball cap.": WXYZ.Com: LIVE COVERAGE: Police say at least 5 shot on Michigan State University campus

Again, I expect details will remain garbled for some time, probably get more accurate reports tomorrow.  Hopefully the a-hole gets caught.

How About NO?

The Detroit News: Oxford shooting survivors demand action on gun legislation in next 100 days

The Oxford school shooting, where 4 students were killed by a rather clearly mentally-disturbed fellow student is the current driver in Michgian for more ineffective gun control.

Let's note that prior to the shooting school officials and counselors had such warnings as the kid in question messing with dead animals, drawing pictures of massacres, etc.

To top it off, on the very morning of the shooting, and a charming drawing complete with a message that said: The Thoughts Won't Stop Help Me".

Generally that might be called a clue that the kid wasn't all right.

But, all they did was bring the parents in for a discussion, and they then let the kid go back to class without so much as a psych eval,  after throwing off every possible signal that he was about to cut loose.  So, within an hour of being sent back to class, he then commenced the school shooting.

So of course, the answer is ban guns, right?   

With a Democrat dominated House, Senate and Governorship here in Michigan, that seems to be where the're wrongly headed:

The student-led group focuses on pushing for the passage of state and federal laws that would lead to safer gun storage, universal background checks and an assault weapons ban.

We will note the jerk in question used a handgun, not an "assault weapon" in the shooting incident.

We will also note safer storage won't do squat - the parents insist the gun used was locked up at the time it was taken by the kid, kid has claimed it was not locked up.

We already have a universal background check and it would have done nothing to change this incident.

And red flag laws - look if you're gonna ignore all the red flags - as they were for a damn long time with the kid in this incident -  such laws ain't gonna cut it there Chucky, nor would it have prevented this incident at all.

So, how about we quit with the knee-jerk gun control "solutions" that will not solve the problem?

 Instead how about we do the much harder and more effective thing and work on some serious mental health reform and having school officials do their damn jobs, and have school resource officers (or armed teachers but that gives Dems the vapors) at school to protect kids rather than leaving them vulnerable to the next shooter that gives off every sign but is completely ignored until he starts bustin' up the place?

You Can Bet This Incident Will be Recorded As A "School Shooting"

Fox 2 Detroit: 3 suspects sought by Detroit police after Henry Ford High School students shot in ambush

Two students were both struck in a drive-by shooting outside Henry Ford High School in Detroit Monday afternoon in what police say is a targeted attack.

Chief James White said the injuries were not life-threatening, however, but victims were struck twice during the attack. Three suspects are now sought in the ambush.

"We know who we're looking for," said Detroit Police Chief James White.

          .     .      .

"We are looking for three African-American males possibly all three wearing masks," White said. "No one else is at risk it appears to be an isolated incident, (a result) of a conflict that groups were having.

It looks like T-Dog, Jr. and Ray-Ray, Jr., while turning their lives around, ticked off a rival gang that decided to do some drive-by payback as conflict resolution.   Since the police know who they are looking for, I expect the criminals involved will have prior records, if not gun-owning disqualifying felonies. To no one's surprise, said criminals will have been somehow free to drive around the streets and obtain firearms to commit crimes.

Unfortunately, being on/near school grounds, various anti-gun organizations and the media will consider and record this a "school shooting" (note the handy statistics site linked, that is often referenced by the media, et al  considers an event a :"school shooting" even if no one is shot, and even counts an event as a "school shooting" when a firearm is not even discharged) rather than a gang-related crime of violence independent of a school as a reason for the shooting, and add it to their misleading statistics.

Good Security Move By Anchor Bay Schools

It's long past time to guard our kids with as least as much effort as we use to guard a jewelry store or bank. After, all the contents of a bank or store are covered by insurance.  Our kids' lives are not.

The Detroit Free Press: Anchor Bay schools to hire 5 armed security guards

The Anchor Bay School District Board of Education voted 6-1 Wednesday evening to hire multiple armed security guards for the upcoming school year in a quarter-million dollar contract.

Certainly a good step to deter potential whackos trying to rack up a score.  Publicizing it makes it even more of a deterrent. Not a guarrantee, but better than doing nothing by far.

But, it is clear the school district has a lot more to be done to ensure at least a basic level of security:

In November, Anchor Bay residents will vote on whether to approve a $168 million bond issue that includes security measures such as a video surveillance system, replacing entrance intercoms, and installing emergency alert systems.

Long past time to have had all of that done as well. 

Of course Doofuses in the comments at the Freep are already going on about how the money would be better spent on education, or its a bad thing to have security. I wonder if they would also be against fire extinguishers and fire alarms in schools as well - after all school fires are a very rare occurrence and fires should be left for only professionals to handle, right?

No One Could Have Seen That Coming, Oh Wait . . .

The Mercury News: Uvalde killer earned ominous nickname: ‘school shooter’ 

That's what most people would call a "clue".

This is especially so as he was being called that for months before he attacked the school.

ABC News: Texas school shooter left trail of ominous warning signs

The Uvalde, Texas, gunman gave off so many warning signs that he was obsessed with violence and notoriety in the months leading up to the attack that teens who knew him began calling him “school shooter.”

. . .

A state investigative report that highlighted law enforcement's bungled response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School has also provided the most in-depth account to date about missed red flags and possible motivations surrounding 18-year-old Salvador Ramos. Despite many warning signs, he still managed to legally amass more than $5,000 in guns, ammunition and gear in the weeks leading up to the killings.

Read the entire ABC news article and be amazed at how many clear signs the killer was giving off and yet nothing was done.

Yet again, another "known wolf" giving off clear signs of violent intent and mental illness with a propensity for violence towards others and again nothing was done.

Heck, for 77 minutes as the shooting went on, nothing effective was done either. 

The insanely bungled and inept, if not beyond grossly negligent, police response cost lives.  But so too did the abject failure to act after so damn many clear indications were made by the killer before he acted.

Maybe Instead of Buying Votes, It's Time For Some Investment In Mental Health Treatment

Mental health treatment options in Michigan, if not the entire USA are underfunded and under-available.

Right now,  in-patient mental health facilities for youth in Michigan are 100% full with zero treatment beds available. 

If that doesn't scare you, it darn well should.

Especially with the Covid lockdowns, we’ve seen massive increases in substance abuse, mental illness, and suicides among youth and they’re simply not getting the treatment they need. The demands of mentally unstable kids is exceeding the supply of treatment

Horribly, some of them are going to go out and commit atrocities when they darn well should have been helped or stopped ahead of time.

We're sadly seeing more of that now across the US.

Whitmer needs to quit thinking of buying votes and instead put that surplus budget money into building in-treatment mental hospitals and expanding mental health treatment availability.

Biden needs to quit blaming firearms for the acts of the mentally ill and criminals and instead expand the treatment of the mentally ill across the US and work to end policies that are letting criminals run rampant.

Neither of these things are easy, but they would actually be effective.

At Least Smart Enough To Not Let The Fox Into The Henhouse

While Oxford schools and school officials and their policies and decisions may (or may not - it's complicated - to be discussed in another post) bear some culpability for the shooting deaths of four students at the hands of the pretty clearly mentally ill killer, they're not completely stupid.

The Detroit Free Press: Nessel: Oxford rejected offer of independent review

No kidding, you don't invite someone who can prosecute you with criminal charges into a high-profile case where people are looking for scalps to do an "independent review" of what you did or did not do.

Attorney General Nessel is rather butt-hurt by this rejection:

"I thought, 'What better agency to conduct a special review than the Michigan Department of Attorney General?' We learned, just a short while ago, that the school district has turned down our offer and it said they're going to go with a private security firm instead to conduct an internal review."

. . .

"I'm disappointed, quite honestly," Nessel said on CNN.'

Get used to disappointment there Nessel.

Yes,  it would hardly be an independent review especially when she's stating live in a tv interview that her office can helpfully bring criminal and civil charges against the people she would be "independently reviewing".

No idea at all why Oxford School officials  wouldn't jump to take that offer, right?

Given the antics and posturing of Oakland County's progressive prosecutor in this case already, adding yet another prosecuting official into the mix, who also wants to keep her name in the headlines would hardly be conducive to a true independent review of the facts and policies that may have contributed to this event.

Shooting At Oxford High School

The school is about 30 minutes away from us, and I've represented students from Oxford High before.

All we actually know at this point is the shooter is a 15-year-old who surrendered to law enforcement after the incident and a Sig Sauer handgun was seized from him.  It appears so far that law enforcement was very quick to effectively respond, which reduced the casualties and contained the incident.

There are three dead and at least six wounded per media reports so far.

Anything else is rumor and rumors are certainly flying about faster than you can say school shooting.

The 48-hour rule is definitely in full effect here, and I will not discuss the rumors or other unfounded claims about the incident until more comes out to provide actual facts.

Update:  Unfortunately now there are 4 dead with one of the severely wounded dying.   Rumors are swirling thick and fast as to motive, alleged prior warnings and signs of an impeding mentally ill attacker, etc, and until I see some actual verification of any of it I will not post them here.   

It does seem clear from reports to date that unlike the Cowards of Broward, here the Oakland County Sheriff School Resource Officer immediately moved  to engage and interrupt the shooter and more than likely saved a lot of lives by doing so.

And That Will Be Counted As A "School Shooting"

The Detroit Free Press: Charge dismissed against officer whose gun fired at Fowlerville wrestling meet

Note that most people in such an incident likely would not have received a resolution of adhering to plea conditions, whatever they were, and then having the charge dismissed and erased from your record.

This event will, I'm sure, be included in Everytown's database and other anti's sets of statistics as a school shooting, even though not only was no one injured but it was a negligent act by a police officer. But no matter, even as calling it a school shooting is one heckuva false impression. it will increase the count of the emotionally laden term "School Shooting".

Really, Just Puck That Idea

Michigan's Oakland University has just out a crackerjack idea into action for protecting students in the event of a school mass shooting.

An idea so cunning, it can only come from the ivory towers of academia.

The idea: Arm the faculty with . . . hockey pucks.

The Detroit News: Oakland University to fight shooters with hockey pucks

Yes, faculty and "some" students will be armed with hockey pucks to throw at an active shooter. The American Association of University Professors, the professor's union, chipped in to buy a couple thousand pucks, all adorned with the Union's logo for the bargain price of .49 cents each.

Now OU's mantra is run, hide, throw hockey pucks.

You really can't make this up. At least include some hockey sticks for crying out loud.

Arming them with appropriate defensive weaponry in the case of a mass shooter, like say -- a handgun -- is of course, out of the question. We're talking the hallowed halls of academia here.

Just When You Thought Broward County's Failures Concerning The Parkland Shooting Can't Get Any Worse, They Do

Just when you thought the multiple failures by government at various levels, mainly at the Broward County Sheriffs Office and Broward County School Board concerning the shooting at Parkland can't get even worse, they do.

It is not the mainstream media providing this latest report of massive incompetence and malfeasance surrounding the shooting. Instead, it is thanks to the work of a 19-year-old Broward student, Kenneth Preston, who found out some incredible further incompetence and yet more opportunities where the powers that be actively ignored and failed to take action against Cruz and thus failed to interdict and prevent the shooting.

Twitchy: ‘My blood is boiling’: Broward student journalist lays out his case against superintendent, school board

Take your time and read it all.

A Quick 4-point summary that doesn't do it justice, again go read it all, it is pretty easy to follow:

1. The School Board after a $100 million dollar appropriation for school security in 2014, they failed to spend it, including a failure to modify the fire alarms to turn off if there is not a real fire, which would likely have saved lives along with other enhancements.
2. The School Board had a policy to keep students out of jail, going so far as to instruct school resource officers that when a felony is committed by a student that they could consider arresting them, not that they should arrest them, but they should just consider it as an option.
3. Cruz "was never arrested despite threatening to kill students, bringing bullets to school, and being involved in multiple fights."
4. No school board member or other administrative officials have been fired or required to resign for their malfeasance and disastrous policies to date.

Again, the mainstream media and professional journalists didn't pick up on this, it took a student journalist to be interested and persistent enough to dig this up, and it again destroys the blame the NRA narrative.

While the blame for these murders lies squarely with the killer, the errors of both omission and commission on the part of the Broward County School Board and The Broward County Sheriffs Office along with a fumble by the FBI and a push from the Obama administration set the stage for this event to happen.

Let's go over the many failures in this case just to highlight how extensive and comprehensive the failure was and how the failures absolutely paved the pay and enabled Cruz to commit his acts:

1. Broward County School Board, as encouraged by the Obama administration, adopts the Broward Promise where they decide to deliberately ignore and not prosecute crimes by students including violent felonies. The policy is likely why there is a 20-minute delay on the video feed to the Sheriff's station, so the school administration can delete evidence in a timely manner. This 20 minute delay causes problems and likely cost lives. The School officials deliberately ignore that Cruz has been threatening to kill students, bringing bullets to school, and being involved in multiple fights and never have the Sheriff's Office arrest him or bring charges for any of these actions, but only suspend him and prohibit him from having a backpack in the building (Anyone want to bet that there was a gun along with the bullets that day and the school disappeared it to avoid prosecuting him under a GFSZ violation?).

2. Broward County Sheriff's Office is called to the Cruz home at least 39 times. Cruz is never arrested or charged during any of these visits. Including:
At least one if not more visits due to allegations he hit his mother - a charge and conviction would be a crime of domestic violence which would have banned him from legally purchasing firearms.
At least one if not more visits due to allegations he hit his brother - a charge and conviction would be a crime of domestic violence which would have banned him from legally purchasing firearms.
At least one visit is based on allegations he pointed a gun at his mother- a charge and conviction would be a felonious assault which would have certainly banned him from legally purchasing firearms.
At least one visit is based on allegations he pointed a gun at his brother - a charge and conviction would be a felonious assault which would have certainly banned him from legally purchasing firearms.
No arrests are ever done nor were charges ever filed and thus all these easy opportunities to stop this before it even happens were lost.

3. In 2016, Florida Department of Child and Family Services investigates an incident with Cruz, the now infamous Deputy Paterson refuses to tell the investigator about the incident that happened at the school, whatever it was, and the matter is dropped.

4. Also in 2016, DCFS and Henderson Mental Health go to the school to possibly detain Cruz for a mental hold under the Baker Act, which would have made him a prohibited person unable to buy a firearm if had they done so. Of course it wasn't done even after he sent out a snapchat showing him cutting himself, stating he wanted to go buy a gun and had hate paraphernalia about. They decided not to do a hold or psych eval because apparently the school counselor did not want them to act prematurely and told them he was getting counseling and had been found stable enough not to be hospitalized. The matter was then closed.

5. Cruz goes on social media with videos that he will shoot up a school. Numerous calls to bother the Sheriff's Office and at least two to the FBI to warn them that Cruz is threatening to shoot up the school. Nothing is done.

6. Cruz is banned from having a backpack at the school and has apparently already been expelled, but security is apparently so lax he can enter carrying a duffel bag to go on his murder spree unchallenged. Some spending of that $100 million dollars towards security might have helped with that.

7. Cruz then pulls the fire alarm and because the security funds have not been spent, the advanced system planned to be installed is not installed and instead of it being cancelled as a false alarm, students do a fire drill and file out of their classrooms, right into Cruz's bullets.

8. Once the shooting starts the School Resource Officer Deputy Peterson refuses to enter the building and engage the killer and even gives false information on the radio.

9. At least three other deputies after arriving similarly wait outside.

10. Deputies are then ordered by a BCSO captain to stage outside.

11.EMS is not allowed by the BCSO to enter the school and against standard procedure the wounded were brought out to them. Likely that cost time and lives both.

12. No Law Enforcement Personnel even enter the building until 11 minutes after the shooting has started. The killer has already left the building by this point.

The sheer amount of fail before, during, and after the shooting is rather staggering. Verily, it takes a village to mess this up this consistently over and over again. So of course, instead of blaming themselves for this causal chain of events a mile long and years in the making, they decided to blame the NRA.

This is as if the powers that be decided to ignore arsonists as it made their crime stats look bad, knew there was one around the area, and knew exactly who the local arsonist was who was setting a series of small fires. Knowing that, they then took a bunch of flammable material, piled it up in a building, soaked it in gasoline, and after being told the arsonist was going to come set it on fire did nothing. After the arsonist gets on social media and says he's coming to light the building on fire they still do nothing. Then, when the arsonist went ahead and in fact lit a match, tosses it onto the gas-soaked pile and burned the building down, they held a press conference to blame the National Match Association for advocating for law-abiding people to be allowed to own matches and preventing common sense match control and match bans.

Unpossible - Shooting At Dorm At Central Michigan University

The Detroit News: Police hunt for shooter who killed 2 at CMU

Two people were killed in an on-campus shooting at Central Michigan University Friday morning, and the university remains on lockdown as police seek the suspect, a 19-year-old man.

They also said the suspect is still at large and urge everyone on campus to take shelter. The campus has been locked down since the incident occurred at 8:30 a.m. Friday in Campbell Hall, a student dorm.

Apparently this seems to be a family-related domestic dispute that happened to take place at a college dormitory during Spring Break pickup time.

However, this entire scenario is simply impossible: By law, the carrying of guns is banned from dormitories at colleges in Michigan so the whole thing could not have happened.

Or, is it just that criminals don't obey gun control laws?
