FBI Had a call on School shooter

[Mr. terzmo]

per a news outlet, the FBI had a call about the shooter on Jan 5, 2018 and did nothing.

Director Wray states the FBI deeply regrets the pain this causes.

Too busy getting orders from Clinton on attacking Trump I guess

 

[togmaster]

Proof positive that we already have laws and procedures in place to prevent this from happening. We don't need more laws, we need the assholes in charge to do their fucken jobs. Too many people sucking off the teet of government and doing nothing. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND WORK!!!

How many for these mass shooters did the FBI have contact with before mass murders happened ?
We often look for a common denominator in these shootings ...One wonders ?
In Garland Texas dealing with Pam Geller agents were on hand and did nothing
WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley today is calling on the FBI to explain its advance knowledge and any plan to thwart a 2015 terrorist attack in Garland, Texas. Grassley’s questions follow recent media reports revealing that an undercover FBI agent was not only in communication with the terrorists weeks before the attack, but the agent was also at the scene taking pictures of the terrorists seconds before the shooting began. However, in 2015, FBI Director James Comey indicated that the Bureau was not aware of the perpetrator’s plans to travel to Garland or of any plans to carry out the attack.

According to news reports, an undercover FBI agent had been in communication over social media with one of the terrorists, Elton Simpson, in the weeks leading up to the terrorist attack. In one of the communications with the undercover agent, Simpson shared a link to information about the “Draw Prophet Muhamad Contest,” to which the agent replied, “Tear up Texas.” Simpson replied, “Bro, you don’t have to say that,” and “No need to be direct,” and referenced a terrorist attack in Paris. The day of the attack, the agent was in a car directly behind Simpson and his associate, Nadir Soofi, near a police checkpoint. The agent was taking photos of the terrorists just before the shooting began. A local police officer fatally shot both terrorists.

Despite the communications between the agent and Simpson, as well as court filings and news reports that reveal the agent was present at the scene during the attack, Comey told reporters in the days following the attack that the FBI had no reason to believe that Simpson intended to attack the event and was unaware of any plans to travel to Garland.

I’m sure if he had threatened to not bake a cake for a gay couple the FBI would’ve been smashing his door down.

Does make you wonder what their priorities are. I imagine the finger pointing war going on within the FBI this afternoon is extremely vitriolic.

And the local PD [ sheriffs deputies] were called to the hose 36 times because of him.

 

[RDN]

Once again leads, tips, clues and calls were made. And the FBI and public again failed to do something (let alone protect us).

Yes, unfortunately this kid was a lunatic. But he didn't break any laws to register him into the "system". So until that day of his evil acts, he was a law abiding citizen, with the right to bear arms. (Including an AR-15 for a 18yr old)

If he was guilty of lying to the FBI, they would send a SWAT team.

Talking with a retired southern states law officer a couple days ago, FBI came up - he has nothing but hatred and disrespect for the FBI and DOJ. Seems a while back, FBI AND DOJ officials visited his department. Had them TURN LOOSE a whole bunch of ILLEGAL ALIENS, who had been jailed and charged with serious, violent crimes, including rape, armed robbery, muggings, attempted murder, felony drunk-driving, etc. FREED THEM ALL -- This was at the directions 'bama - just saying. FBI = Famous, But Ignorant.

It proves the point that the FBI cannot protect you . I don't blame the FBI, I cant imagine what kind of caseloads they have . Thousands of calls a day about a weird guy saying something strange. and then there are the ones that were stopped and never heard about. They are tasking the FBI with the impossible.

They simply cant do it. But We all know that. The only person that can save you is you. The only person that will be there in a time of emergency is you .

FBI Statement on the Shooting in Parkland, Florida — FBI
February 16, 2018
FBI Statement on the Shooting in Parkland, Florida
On January 5, 2018, a person close to Nikolas Cruz contacted the FBI’s Public Access Line (PAL) tipline to report concerns about him. The caller provided information about Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.

Under established protocols, the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life. The information then should have been forwarded to the FBI Miami Field Office, where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken.

We have determined that these protocols were not followed for the information received by the PAL on January 5. The information was not provided to the Miami Field Office, and no further investigation was conducted at that time.

"Sorry, my bad" isn't going to cut it.
The FBI seems far more interested in perpetuating a false investigation funded and sponsored by certain ex-members of Government than in protecting the People of the U.S., which is their sworn duty.

I expect not only to see firings at the FBI, I expect to see criminal negligence charges against them also!

 

[Phritz]

If you see something, say something.
And then sit back, grab a cold one, and watch nothing get done.

When it comes to politicians breaking the law, violating the constitution, and or other nefarious activities, as far as the FBI is concerned, our jobs are more important than the written law and safety of the unwashed masses.
