How did Nickolas Cruz get away with the Parkland Massacre? Cruz was no criminal genius but instead slipped through the cracks. He was able to do this for several reasons. The Chancellor of the Broward County School System was on Obama's pad getting federal grants in return for handling numerous misdemeanors internally rather than having the student arrested. One of those crimes were threats. If the Deputy assigned to the school felt that they did not rise to level of a felony, a purely subjective judgment, they did not have to be reported to the police. The Deputy in this case was Scott Peterson, and the Security Specialist Kelvin Greenleaf determined they did not. This book exposes the fact that a Campus Monitor, whose name or names are revealed for the first time in this book saw Cruz head for the the building in which he carried out his crime, recognized him, noticed he had a backpack and duffel bag but failed to tackle him. It is like that Ad on TV where what appears to be a dentist says You have some of the worst cavities I have ever seen. When asked to fill them he responds "Oh I am just a Dental Monitor. Some have argued the Monitors were not first responders but when this man saw the Miscreant enter Stoneman Dougas through the back door he should have done some thing other than use his walkie-talkie. It exposes the fact that the counselor from Henderson Behavioral Health Jared Bienenfeld, prevented the Miscreant from being Baker Acted, sent for involuntary observation at a mental hospital, because he was a wimpy camp counselor type who put on programs for well behaved Jewish kids. Brittany Jacobs was another one of the Miscreants counselors from Henderson, she was an liberal who had worked for group connected to Obama. She was more interested in LGBT rights. Of course the book goes into the FBI's role in failing to fully investigate lead after lead and the Broward County Sheriff's Office for also ignoring numerous reports that Cruz was going to shoot up Stoneman Douglas High. It examines the role of James Snead who gave the Miscreant a key to the gun safe where his AR-15 was stored. James spoke with the Roxanne Deschamps when he picked up the Miscreant's belongings from her and he spoke with the School Counselor when he tried to get the Miscreant back in Stoneman after he was expelled. Did both these people fail to warn him about how crazy Cruz was. Deschamps threw him out for stashing a shotgun and threatening her son's life. But where this book starts to get interesting is when it comes to Jameson Snead, who convinced his father to take him in. Jameson was on Cruz Instagram page and knew he was psychopathic but didn't tell his father or the police about it. Then there was the do-gooder adoptive mother Lynda Cruz, who knew the Miscreant's bio mother was a junkie and thief but due to her desire to have kids adopted the Miscreant when she was still able to control him. When Miscreant's adoptive father died, the only one in the room was Nikolas, who didn't run and get helped but watched him croak and announced to his mommy "Daddy's dead." The tragedy here is that these kids never got a chance to live out their lives, heck, if someone shoots me at least I have lived until 73, which is a miracle in itself.
