Two Smelly, Stagnant Pussies
From the Conservative Treehouse:
A few points need to be emphasized for those unfamiliar with the Broward County system. First, with revelations of frequent LEO contact and calls from people warning about school shooter Nikolas Cruz, there’s a common narrative mistakenly being pushed by mainstream media.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office (BSO) didn’t “miss warning signs” or make “mistakes” in not writing up reports.

Adolescent misbehavior may be normal, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be addressed.
What kept me in line: my parents' total control over the keys to the car. Also, the idea of not bringing dishonor to the family was a major factor.
