I know that we held this discussion the past day, [@SleepingSilence], but it is clear beyond a doubt all of the numerous warning signs by many involved were ignored. There was and is no shortage of evidence that indicated Nikolas Cruz was a prime candidate for an active shooter. Why these were so looked over, underplayed, skipped outright, or put off is the largest issue I take. This was a case where the member was specifically barred from even going on the grounds, let alone having a backpack, and being the end of jokes by his peers that he was likely to be a school shooter.

I do not believe his obtaining a weapon was the issue here, rather the issue here was that anyone who knew anything about it in some cases did not report it or when they did reporting the reviewing officials failed spectacularly. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's failings here, public ones at that as we know of them and not even rumors from within, are clear signs they made a grave error and cost others their life by some form of bureaucracy or neglect on a potential tip. This is not to say Cruz did not do what he did, but it is to utterly note the shooter should have been handled first and foremost.
