    I saw on the news this morning a report that the football coach who was killed threw himself in front of a group of students to protect them from the shooter. He died protecting those kids. That's a true fucking hero.

    Unfortunately I feel the exact same way.

    Wow-fucking wow. So it's the student's fault, not Congress, the NRA, the President, and every other gun nut apologists, and the actual shooter.
    ...or THE FBI:

    Also, Scott Biegel, a 35-year old geography teacher, has reportedly died shielding students from the gunfire. A student on CNN was talking about how he saved her life.

    Here's a link to the article that has information on the confirmed victims.

    Now what are they going to say?

    (CNN) —
    The FBI was warned in September about a possible school shooting threat from a YouTube user with the same name as the suspect in Wednesday's campus massacre in Parkland, Florida, according to a video blogger.

    Ben Bennight, a 36-year-old YouTube video blogger from Mississippi, noticed in September an alarming comment on a video he'd posted. He told CNN he immediately contacted the FBI.

    "Im going to be a professional school shooter," read the comment, left by a user with the name Nikolas Cruz, the same name as that of the suspected shooter who is accused of opening fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people.

    And then this....the FBI followed up on the guy's tip right after the shooting? They waited until something happened? Yikes.

    Then, on Wednesday afternoon, after Cruz was arrested, Bennight got a call from an agent in the FBI's Miami field office, who wanted to follow up on the September incident, he said. A few hours later, FBI agents from the Mississippi office paid Bennight another visit.

    So people did report him, and it did nothing.

    I know the ages are off but didn't an article say he had a brother and that he was also in trouble too? In January there was a youtube video of guys playing Fortnight or whatever and a guy kept saying he was going to shoot up schools in Pittsburgh causing them to go into a lockdown. It was a hoax caused by a 21 male from Broward County.

    http://www.post-gazette.com/local/ci...s/201801290069

    [quote] “I’m shooting up schools, bro,” the male says in a rambling rant. “As many as I can before I get killed by the cops.”

    The male also claims to have two AK-47s and a handgun and says he hates people. /[quote]

    Those men who put themselves in front of those kids, amazing. That is a level of bravery few people know.

    Is there a discussion about this under deaths, or am I missing something?

The stupid, bigoted bullshit that gets prioritized over the real problems that effect people - CHILDREN - makes my head spin. None of it should shock me anymore, but I won't let it stop shocking me because once you get complacent they win.

    Guys, we need that wall to keep "outsiders" out for our safety!

    We can kill each other all by ourselves.

    Don't ever read the comment section. Holy shit, they've officially gone off the deep end.

    He looks like he has fetal alcohol syndrome. He and his brother are both adopted, and I've read about people adopting babies without knowing they had this affliction.

    Reporting people does nothing. There's no laws on the books that says people can't say threatening things. What would they book him for? What legal standing would they have to take his weapons away?

    NONE.

    If they DID pass a law, that would just make these psychos keep quiet and still pull off these shootings. The common denominator in all of these massacres are GUNS. The government is letting the NRA fuck us all up the ass.

    I agree there is probably nothing that could have done, but trying to make it seem like those around him knew he was a loose cannon and did nothing is not cool....
