Florida Governor Rick Scott has called on FBI director Chris Wray to resign after the bureau admitted earlier today that certain protocols weren't followed when an acquaintance contacted the FBI's Public Access Line (PAL) tipline to report concerns about Nikolas Cruz, the former student at a Florida high school....
On Jan. 5, a person close to Cruz called an FBI tip line warning them about the 19 year old's behavior, and warning them that he might try to carry out a school shooting. They also discussed his expressed desire to kill people, his erratic behavior and disturbing social media posts.
The FBI was also notified about a comment on a YouTube video posted by a "Nikolas Cruz" last year.
"The comment simply said, 'I'm going to be a professional school shooter,'" Robert Lasky, FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Miami field office, said during a Thursday news conference. "No other information was included with that comment, which would indicate a time, location or true identity of the person who made that comment."
"We have determined that these protocols were not followed for the information received by the PAL on January 5. The information was not provided to the Miami field office, and no further investigation was conducted at that time," the FBI said in a statement Friday.
Scott called the failure to act, which occurred under Wray's watch, "unacceptable" and said the only reasonable thing for Wray to do would be to resign.
"The FBI’s failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable....The FBI Director needs to resign," said Scott in a statement.
"We constantly promote ‘see something, say something,’ and a courageous person did just that to the FBI. And the FBI failed to act. ‘See something, say something’ is an incredibly important tool and people must have confidence in the follow through from law enforcement. The FBI director needs to resign," Scott added.
"Seventeen innocent people are dead and acknowledging a mistake isn't going to cut it. An apology will never bring these 17 Floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain. The families will spend a lifetime wondering how this could happen, and an apology will never give them the answers they desperately need."
As a reminder, this is not the first time that the FBI failed to prevent a mass shooting by not enforcing its protocols. Revelations that the FBI had been warned about Florida high school shooter Cruz fit an all-too-familiar pattern, evidenced by the oversight that allowed Texas church shooter Devin Patrick Kelly to purchase weapons he used to kill more than 20 people late last year.
Comments
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama ordered the FBI to look the other way and allow these shootings to happen in order to get gun control.
I don't recall that many mass shootings when Bush was President. So what changed?
I don't know much about Wray but this is a definite F'up and the people directly responsible for the lapse of protocol need to be fired in the least bit. Ultimately it happened on his watch.
@lester, they had no issue with Fast and Furious.

How do you people know 17 people died? Oh because the television told you that. That makes it real. After the fake Sandy Hook shootings I don’t believe any of these reports unless I see it with my own eyes. SH happened 5 years ago, and we still haven’t seen a single drop of blood. No dead or injured. Just phoney family members telling phoney stories. I just loved how one of the Bardel’s kids sat there listening to his parents and Catie Curic lie about Sandy Hook.

This FLA shooter was on meds too. Nobody in the media is reporting this. Nobody ever does. Assault rifles are the means, the root cause is the psychotropic drugs. If he didn't use an assault rifle, then he'd show up with 6 fully-loaded 9mm pistols and do as much or more damage. Until society faces the havoc that these psychotropic drugs are wreaking on some people, this problem will continue, whether with guns, knives, cars, or whatever.

Family member Barbara Kumbatovich, of Long Island, N.Y., said she heard media reports about the mass shooting in Florida but had no idea the suspect was the son of her recently deceased sister-in-law, Lynda.
“I know she had been having some issues with them, especially the older one. He was being a problem. I know he did have some issues and he may have been taking medication. [He] did have some kind of emotional problems or difficulties,”

There's certainly a huge correlation between some psychotropic meds and these events - given. One wonders how much is the med - and how much was the problem that caused the med to be prescribed in the first place. These aren't taken for the fun of it, available from your recreational corner drug dealer? Assumption is that someone who could write prescriptions thought you had "issues" - right?
Some of one, some of the other, both? Just saying, these things aren't like tylenol at the discount counter at walmart. Someone has to tell you to take them...
It's almost as if I should try some to see how they affect me to test that theory - I'm pretty skilled with the recreational drugs...but I won't.
In reply to This FLA shooter was on meds… by prefan4200
Most of these tragic events have prescribed meds as the 'trigger'. Unfortunately, Big Pharma owns the pols, the media doesn't want to go after big advertisers.

We're talking about drugs used for depression. They don't work, but don't let that get in the way of Big Pharma profits. And they have some unfortunate side effects, such as suicide and violent behavior. They are also totally addictive, once you start it's very difficult to stop, a useful feature so far as Big Pharma is concerned.
Suicide is a feature of depression. Outward-directed violence isn't. Can't blame this on the depression. It's a side effect of the drugs.

From CNN to Fox, they all shut-up about the meds most these killers are on. That's because a good chunk of their advertising income is from pharmaceutical companies. Wish someone at these networks would show some balls and point it out.

Scott has been there for a long time, and he has proven to be big pharma, appointed a gangster in charge of FWC, tried to privatize State Parks, broken campaign promise on illegals, and probably a lot more. Sheriff Isreal? Phsst. You can bet your beany baby they were involved. We have Nile crocodiles in S. Fla now.

As the Director it is Wray’s primary job to be sure the agency is accomplishing its primary mission. Instead he and the FBI Washington senior leadership are all focused on getting Hillary and Democrats elected, and then “ insurance plans “ to overthrow Trump.
In the meantime, the FBI troops at ground level are ignoring dire warnings of kids who are blatantly telegraphing they are going to shoot up a school.
So Wray, do your job. Or resign in shame if you are not going to do your job.
