[17 Dead] Numerous Fatalities at Douglas High School, Parkland, FL

[Swordsmyth]

Florida's Senate approved a bill Monday imposing new restrictions on gun purchases, but voted down an assault weapon ban and other measures. The bill -- which requires a three-day waiting period for all gun purchases, increases the age limit for buying a semi-automatic weapon from 18 to 21, bans the sale of bump stocks and makes it easier for law enforcement to take firearms from a potential threat -- was approved by a vote of 9 to 4.

The bill will also establish a committee to investigate the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, which killed 17 people.


Democratic Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez of Miami noted the bill's age limit for purchasing semi-automatic weapons doesn't apply to private sales, noting such weapons would still be available to people the same age as 19-year-old shooter Nikolas Cruz.
"A 19-year-old could still buy a semi-automatic weapon from a private dealer and a 19-year-old could still possess a semi-automatic weapon," Rodriguez said.

You can bet the Federal government won't impose the following of the Constitution on this particular "States right." Now if you got some raw milk buddy they are gonna come down hard!

3 other cops actually hid outside behind their police cars with their weapons drawn

BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) —
Rep. Bill Hager (Boca Raton), the chairman of the Florida House of Justice Appropriations, has called on Gov. Rick Scott to remove Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel - a power the governor has under Florida law - from his post for neglect of duty and incompetence in regards to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

In his letter to the governor on Saturday, Hager said that various media outlets reported that the School Resource Officer, Scot Peterson, and three deputies under Sheriff Israel's command "were on campus at the time of the attack and chose to take cover themselves rather than stepping up to protect our students."

Rep. Hager also mentioned the number of times police were called to Nikolas Cruz's home.

"The Sheriff was fully aware of the threat this individual presented to the community and chose to ignore it," Rep. Hager said.

He continued to remind the governor that this wasn't the first time a review of the Broward Sheriff's Office has been conducted. He said that, according to reporting conducted by a local journalist, a report after the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting in 2017 found that the sheriff's office failed to set up a unified command structure, among other faults during the emergency.

Hager's legislative aid said that due to this, the representative proposes "that certain dollars currently scheduled for appropriation for the Broward Sheriff's Office be redirected...to initiate a pilot program in Broward County that will integrate and analyze data from various law enforcement, courts, state agencies, and school districts to better assess risk and keep our citizens safe."

Yes, it appears the 3 other cops actually hid outside behind their police cars with their weapons drawn:

Report: Four of Sheriff Scott Israel’s Deputies Waited Outside Douglas High During School Shooting

A report released Friday claims four of Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel’s deputies waited outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School while the attack was occurring.

On February 22 Breitbart News reported that one deputy resigned after it was learned that he was on scene but failed to control Nikolas Cruz. Sheriff Israel told ABC 13 that video shows the deputy, Scott Peterson, “arrive at the west side of Building 12” and “take a position” outside the school — but never go inside. The sheriff’s office moved to suspend Peterson, who resigned before the suspension could take place.

Now CNN reports that the Coral Springs police officers claim three other Broward County deputies were outside the school but failed to go inside as well. They quote “Coral Springs sources” who said the three “deputies had their pistols drawn and were behind their vehicles” when Coral Springs officers arrived. They said “not one of [the deputies] had gone into the school.”

The sources indicate other Broward County deputies arrived on scene, and two of those new arrivals joined with Coral Springs officers and entered the building.

The sources said, “Coral Springs police were stunned and upset that the four original Broward County Sheriff’s deputies who were first on the scene did not appear to join them as they entered the school.”

Coral Springs Police Department public information officer Sgt. Carla Kmiotek would not comment on what Broward County deputies did or did not do. Rather, “The Coral Springs Police Department will speak on behalf of our officers and their response in that incident,” she said. “We will not speak on behalf of Broward Sheriff’s deputies and their response to the incident.”

Armed Kidnapping, Narcotics Trafficking, Extortion: State Attorney Investigating 66Cases of Misconduct Under Broward County Sheriff Israel
https://truepundit.com/kidnapping-n...ses-misconduct-broward-county-sheriff-israel/

It’s always the loudest guy in the room who ends up having much to hide.

This is likely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
The national spotlight will help uncover much that incapable local reporters don’t have the guts or moxie to write.

There are more than 66 investigations by the Broward County State Attorney’s office into Broward County Sheriff’s deputies and employees,
ranging from drug trafficking to kidnapping since 2012. All the internal investigations occurred under embattled Sheriff Scott Israel’s watch,

Certainly, more to come.

Which is why their opinions on the matter mean less than piss to me.

Expanded police power, i.e. militarized, eroded Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Seventh Amendment, Eighth Amendment and what has it gotten us?

They're too busy circle jerking around a couple of thousand dollars worth of drugs to catch actual criminals.

Ought get real goddamn jobs.

A student who survived the Parkland high school massacre on February 14 accused one of his teachers earlier this week of locking him and over a dozen other kids out in the hallway as the gunman was in the middle of his shooting spree.
Josh Gallagher, a junior from Coral Springs, Florida, posted a scathing message on social media accusing his math teacher, Jim Gard of Pompano Beach, of being a coward.

Cowardice or collaboration?

Both? These pictures at DailyMail are very unflattering.

I'm glad that Josh Gallagher's dad is a genuine hero (maybe from the Broward county Sheriff's office?).

"A 19-year-old could still buy a semi-automatic weapon from a private dealer and a 19-year-old could still possess a semi-automatic weapon," Rodriguez said

There is no such thing as a "private" dealer, legally anyway.

If you sell one gun with the intent of making a profit, you are a dealer.

This is just a way to get everybody into the NICS database.

They are looking to bring private sales from a collection between two individuals, under government control.

I think his dad is with the city PD.

Nowhere in the video are they claiming the drills were from schools in Florida or what year they were produced. That was just footage they had from a story they did on school shooting drills in the past.

There are videos of students and teachers from MSD high school saying that they thought it was a shooting drill.


The teacher said "I assumed it was code red drill because they said we would have one earlier in the day. I assumed it was blanks."
