Are you reading my whole post? Florida has a law, enacted in 2016, that makes it a Felony to make school shooting threats. Cruz did this verbally and online. If FBI had actually responded to the 2nd tip from someone who knew him, knew he had guns, threatened school shooting etc they or local LEOs could have gone and arrested him for a felony. He made these threats on youtube, Instagram, to actual people, students etc. He had 7-10 rifles. He committed a felony when he made the school shooting threats.

School shooting threats now a felony
