FBI Keeps Missing Mass Shooter Warnings

Revelations that the FBI had been warned about Florida high school shooter Nikolaus Cruz fit an all-too-familiar pattern, in which apparent law enforcement errors have preceded mass murders.

The FBI was warned about Cruz after he posted on YouTube saying he was going to become a “professional school shooter.” The agency said they couldn’t identify the user who made the threat, despite Cruz posting under his own name. Five months later, Cruz pulled the fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and began shooting his former classmates with his AR-15.

Other mass shooters and terrorists were similarly on the FBI’s radar — or should have been — before they carried out their deadly attacks.

Dylann Roof, who in 2015 shot nine people at a black church in Charleston, was allowed to purchase his weapon in part because of errors by FBI agentsduring the background check process, the agency said.

There should be in person interviews of gun purchasers. If they can get to the gun store, they can get to an FBI office for an interview.

They are too busy trying to frame the political enemies of Barak Obama and the Communists of America.

They told me there was nothing they could do .. maybe call the police but I would have to use my name to make a report And the school would know who reported this. I am a teacher so I would lose my job if I went and reported that the school was doing nothing. I tried...
