The FBI Was Warned About A School Shooting Threat From A YouTube User Named Nikolas Cruz In September
Last fall, a Mississippi bail bondsman and frequent YouTube vlogger noticed an alarming comment left on one of his videos. "I'm going to be a professional school shooter," said a user named Nikolas Cruz.
The YouTuber, 36-year-old Ben Bennight, alerted the FBI, emailing a screenshot of the comment to the bureau's tips account. He also flagged the comment to YouTube, which removed it from the video.
Agents with the bureau's Mississippi field office got back to him "immediately," Bennight said, and conducted an in-person interview the following day, on Sept. 25.
"They came to my office the next morning and asked me if I knew anything about the person," Bennight told BuzzFeed News. "I didn't. They took a copy of the screenshot and that was the last I heard from them."

The Secret Service did an exhaustive and revealing study on targeted school violence. As a former agent, and a parent, I can’t recommend this report highly enough. School administrators should make this mandatory reading -> https://www.secretservice.gov/data/protection/ntac/ssi_guide.pdf …

Because, after 1970s, the Left made the institutionalization of the mentally ill almost impossible.
We know this shooter was adopted. I wonder if he was adopted as an infant and what were the circumstances - was he exposed to prenatal maternal drug abuse?
I recall reading/hearing someone in an interview mentioning that the shooter was diagnosed with a form of autism, Aspergers Syndrome. Somewhat of a confirmation comes in this statement:
AutismSociety.org: Autism Society Statement on Parkland, Florida School Shooting
Tallahassee.com
Update 3:50 p.m.
===>"Local law enforcement sources have so far not found a connection between accused Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz and a Tallahassee-based paramilitary group.
Leon County law enforcement sources told the Tallahassee Democrat that they could not find information linking Cruz, 19, to the Republic of Florida Militia, as first reported by the group’s self-proclaimed leader Jordan Jereb."<===
There are individuals around each of us who are on the autism scale - who function in society, hold jobs and do not murder others. This killer was organized. He planned, he had an escape route. He was not a disorganized personality.
There is autism. There is mental illness. And having done psychiatric nursing, there is mental illness without violence. On the other hand, there is violence that receives a softer diagnosis of mental illness. I just don't buy it. To buy into it diminishes the death and bloodshed of the innocent.
This man was evil. Label it what you want. He is a mass murdering spree killer and deserves to be put to death.
