Could a tip to the FBI have stopped the Florida shooting? | PBS NewsHour


But hey, I'm all for a federal law that allows locking up...those who verbally advocate violence toward others.

If that were in effect, we would currently have a totally different national scenario.
Good try but your PBS link only addresses the first tip FBI got in which they could not find out who he was, the 2nd tip was from someone who knew Cruz, where he lived, threats made etc etc.

Cruz committed a Felony under Florida state law, so federal law not relevant, many students in many states have been arrested and prosecuted for making school shooting threats. FBI and LEOs blew it and could have stopped a massacre.
