FBI Missed "Professional School Shooter"
Dana Mathewson
As we've heard, the shooter was a "mental case." He left many traces of proof. And the FBI was aware of it. Did they drop the ball? Inquiring minds want to know.
From Urgent Agenda:
SOMETHING WAS MISSED – AT 11:54 A.M. ET: The FBI was alerted to the alleged Florida high-school killer. From Buzzfeed:
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 as well as calling the Mississippi FBI field office. 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."
FBI agents contacted Bennight again Wednesday, after a 19-year-old named Nikolas Cruz allegedly opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in South Florida, killing at least 17 people.
In the wake of the deadly shooting, questions have emerged over whether officials and acquaintances had missed warning signs about the alleged shooter, a former student who was expelled from the high school last year for disciplinary reasons.
COMMENT: Obviously, this requires a serious investigation. It may be, of course, that the Bureau investigated and found nothing actionable. But this kid was on the radar screen, as were the San Bernardino terrorists. And, like them, he fell off.

Of course, leftists will ONLY wail about the gun, and demand a "conversation" about "sensible gun laws." Sorry, talking ain't gonna help. This kid already broke laws.
People are coming out of the woodwork saying "We missed the signs." But are we supposed to turn the country into a place where everybody reports everybody else, as in "1984?" Especially if it doesn't seem to do any good?
