Florida High School Shooting

February 15th, 2018

Update: On the Day of the Shooting, Teachers Were Told There Would Soon Be a “Code Red” or “Lockdown” Drill

Via: Miami Herald:

When the fire alarm rang near the end of the school day on Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, teacher Ernest Rospierski assumed it was a “code red” drill.

Earlier that day at a staff meeting, teachers had been told there would soon be a “code red” or “lockdown” drill — in which teachers and students practice their response to an immediate threat — but they hadn’t been told the date.

Rospierski was sitting at his desk around 2:25 p.m. when the fire alarm rang. His students filed out of their third-floor classroom and made their way toward the stairs. Then Rospierski heard the sound of gunfire.

Update: The FBI Was Warned About A School Shooting Threat From A YouTube User Named Nikolas Cruz In September

Via: 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. 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.

Though his name matches the YouTube user flagged in September, FBI officials would not say whether they have confirmed that the account belonged to Cruz.

But around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday — about 30 minutes after Cruz was taken into custody by police in Broward County — Special Agent Ryan Furr with the FBI’s Miami field office called Bennight and left him a voicemail.

“I think we spoke with you in the past about a complaint that you made about someone making a comment on your YouTube channel,” the agent said in the message, which Bennight provided to BuzzFeed News. “I just wanted to follow up with you on that and ask you a question with something that’s come up, if you wouldn’t mind giving me a ring.”

A few hours later, Bennight said, FBI agents in Mississippi visited him again in person, pressing for more information about the YouTube user Nikolas Cruz.

“They asked me if I knew who he was. I didn’t. I don’t,” Bennight said. “Then they left.”

Valentine’s day shooter Nikolas Cruz was expelled last year for ‘fighting over his ex-girlfriend’ and made shocking Instagram posts detailing a twisted obsession for guns, violence and hurting animals, it has emerged.

Nikolas Cruz shot 17 people dead and injured 50 more when he went on the rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Wednesday armed with an AR-15 assault rifle he was able to buy legally.

Former classmates of the 19-year-old, said they had feared he was capable of a school shooting as they revealed he was ‘crazy about guns’. One student said Cruz was expelled after a fight with his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. The gunman had also been abusive to his girlfriend, the student said.

    Bubba Rum Das over at ZeroHedge reports:

    “It’s obviously a False Flag; I was listening to an NPR interview of two sophomore girls who were there; first BOTH of them said they “thought it was a DRILL, because a DHS drill had been scheduled”…

    Also, they both said they heard the helicopters BEFORE the shooting started; apparently there was also an MRAP there w/ numerous SWAT teams almost instantly after the shooting started-

    Along w/ that, for 17 people killed along w/ 20 injured, only about 4 ambulances showed up in over two hours of footage covering then incident that I watched on the mainstream networks!

    DHS emergency trailer also present, that you see at almost all the Drills…”

    Any of these mass murders ever take place when there ISN’T a “drill” going on? Scheduled drills should be the sign for everyone to stay home that day.

    In my experience working in schools, teachers are always warned of a lockdown drill either the day before or the same day as the drill. The school administration always schedules with police and school board members days or weeks before teachers are warned and the drill occurs. It is not unheard of for any school-related personnel with advanced warning to keep their kids home (dr appt or whatever excuse) on the day of a lockdown, especially if the lockdown involves a drug search. It would be interesting to check the attendance on the day of each school shooting to see whose kids were absent, assuming that no one would send their kid to school if they knew they might be shot.

    He didn’t do it; there is a girl testifying that she was with Cruz when the fire alarm went off and the shooting started, which is confirmed by KHOU TV: http://82.221.129.208/nicholascruz.3gp They couldn’t kill him when they apprehended him because there was a man across the street in his garage (Michael Nembhard) who was an eyewitness. So, apparently, they dragged him to the hospital to pump him full of drugs and wear him down until he confessed.

    I don’t want to try and download what’s in the link because I fear it might be a virus but it is an interesting claim.

    There are several good videos on youtube showing how to spot a liar. The ones by law enforcement personnel are excellent.

    The girl with long blond hair who was interviewed while standing outside the school certainly appears to have been lying. She seemed to know the outlines of the story she wanted to tell but was composing her speech as she went along. Her performance reminds me of how some “witnesses” acted when interviewed about Sandy Hook.

    Interesting that so many of these mass shootings have witnesses who turn up to claim that shooters other than the accused were also there, but the authorities so seldom come up with anyone else.

    We get so many contradictory versions of the same event that we end up not knowing who or what to believe, which is an ideal result for anyone not wanting us to know.
