Who to blame?
Parkland school cop ‘never went in’ during the shooting. There were other failures, too.
Excerpt: A school campus cop heard the gunfire and rushed to the building but never went inside — instead waiting outside for another four agonizing minutes as Cruz continued the slaughter. And long before Cruz embarked on the worst school shooting in Florida history, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies had multiple warnings that the 19-year-old was a violent threat and a potential school shooter, according to records released Thursday. In November, a tipster called BSO to say Cruz “could be a school shooter in the making,” but deputies did not write up a report on that warning. It came just weeks after a relative called urging BSO to seize his weapons. Two years ago, according to a newly released timeline of interactions with Cruz’s family, a deputy investigated a report that Cruz “planned to shoot up the school” — intelligence that was forwarded to the school’s resource officer, with no apparent result. ... The school initiated a “threat assessment” on Cruz, then 18, suggesting he suffered from depression. The Florida Department of Children and Families also investigated Cruz and determined he was not a threat to himself or others. At the time, he was undergoing therapy with Henderson Behavioral Health. BSO had no more contact with Cruz until November 2017, shortly after his mother died of a respiratory illness. His mother’s cousin, Katherine Blaine, reported that the woman had died and asked that BSO seize the arsenal. (Who to blame? Looks like there are plenty of folks! They all took pay checks; didn't do their jobs, eh? So was this a set up or just too many people following Mueller's Russian probe to care about day-to-day issues? Ignored 911 calls. Deputy outside building; won't go in.... reportedly got "Officer of the Year." I still can't figure how a kid who works at Dollar General could buy so many guns and have so much loose cash (like $3,000 reportedly taken by his current foster mother)..... Something doesn't jive with my realities. --Barb. No one needs a gun; the government will protect you! ~Bob)
Four Minutes of a Massacre that Demonstrate Why We Cannot Rely on the Police Alone
Four Minutes of a Massacre that Demonstrate Why We Cannot Rely on the Police Alone by Jim Geraghty
Excerpt: We know about the FBI getting a direct, detailed tip about Nikolas Cruz and never forwarding it to their Florida personnel. We learned, in recent days, about the police responding 39 times to emergency calls at Cruz’s home over a seven-year period. It is easy to miss anecdotes about the shooter that are jaw-dropping: Long before he slaughtered 17 people at the South Florida high school he once attended, Nikolas Cruz had a disturbing way of introducing himself. “Hi, I’m Nick,” he used to say, according to an acquaintance interviewed by CNN. “I’m a school shooter.” I’m rather stunned that someone can call 911 and say that you’ve put a gun to people’s heads in the past, and they’ll walk away after a mere conversation because you had “hugged and reconciled” with the person you threatened. But the worst revelation, that left many I spoke to at CPAC last night almost speechless with anger, is the news that an armed sheriff’s deputy remained outside the high school building in Parkland, taking a defensive position and simply waiting for four minutes as the shooter murdered people inside.

Immigration has lowered wages in Canada: StatsCan
Immigration has lowered wages in Canada: StatsCan
Excerpt: In 2001, about four in 10 people with more than an undergraduate degree were immigrants in Canada compared to about one in five in the United States, says the study, which was released Friday. The StatsCan study found having more highly-skilled workers in Canada has curtailed earnings growth for the most educated Canadian workers relative to the least-educated. In the U.S., the opposite has happened. Immigrants have depressed the earnings of low-paid Americans and further widened the gap between low and high income earners. Experts suggest Canada has a higher proportion of educated immigrants because the country's immigration policy focuses on recruiting high-skilled workers.

Man With Violent Criminal Past Slams Car Into Middlesex Hospital Entrance, Sets Himself On Fire
Excerpt: Steven Ellam, a Middletown man with a violent criminal history dating back more than a decade, intentionally rammed his car through the emergency room entrance at Middlesex Hospital Thursday morning before setting himself on fire, officials said. They did not say what motivated his act. (That does it! Confiscate all the cars. Dangerous weapons. Actually, more people killed in car wrecks than shooting incidents....Barb. Cars and trucks are dangerous weapons, as the Jihadists keep proving. We need to make it much harder to buy one. ~Bob)
