I am pretty sure James and Kimberly Snead saw something very off about Nikolas Cruz.
Keep in mind that they only took him in in November or December. So even if true their statement doesn't mean much wrt Cruz.
Cruz was known to be violent and to threaten violence since middle school. That would be somewhere around 6th Grade! For half of Cruz's school "career" teachers and educrats
KNEW what Cruz was (short of being certain he would commit mass-murderer). But the $7K-$10K per year of ADA money he represented was too precious to the educrats!
The thing that has me very POed about this shooting is that there were
so damned many points at which it might have been prevented:* As detailed above, school educrats
knew Cruz was
violent, but kept him schools' general population (intentional use of prison terminology);
* Police visited his home 39 times in 7 or 8 years, but nothing was ever done - about his violence or,
if there was any, about abuse by his adoptive Mother;
* School educrats
knew Cruz was
violent, but allowed him on the high school JROTC marksmanship team;
* FL DSS/CPS (whatever the FL bureaucrats call themselves) evaluated Cruz 2 years ago and deemed him a "minimal threat";
* In September, 2017 Cruz was reported to the FBI for explicit and very specific threats on social media, but nothing was done;
* In January, 2018 Cruz was reported as a threat to the FBI, in great and accurate detail, but nothing was done; the FBI office in Miami wasn't even notified!
Cruz had hundreds of contacts with authorities, yet not one seemed to realize that he should not be in schools' general population or in a position that would feed and train him in his tendency toward violence. The FBI did nothing, twice! And the person who received the January call probably didn't even do the minimal history checking to realize this was the second time Cruz had been reported!
The mail boxes of the 17 families who lost children to Cruz and of the hospitalized survivors should be overflowing with abject apologies from educrats, DSS/CPS bureaucrats, and law enforcement people who failed their dead and wounded children! And the asshole politicians and activists using their children's bloodied bodies as a podium for their cause should be muzzled and shamed,
