    Why are you so obsessed with being right? Have you considered talking to a therapist?

    I'm not, it was just funny watching you run with something as fact bc one teacher in another state said how he was trained while ignoring what the police dept in Parkland said all bc you're obsessed with me.

    Lol obsessed with you? You’re a man in your late 30s (early 40s?) who gets his jollies by arguing with strangers on the Internet. I’m not obsessed with you.

    Obsession was my jam in grade school.

    Parkland Shooter Asked for Help, but Was Denied Before Shooting
    School officials “did not follow through” when Nikolas Cruz asked for special assistance months before the massacre, a new report finds.

    A new report found Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz asked school officials for help months before he allegedly gunned down 14 fellow classmates and three adults—but the school district “did not follow through."
    That failure by school officials was singled out in a court-ordered report released Friday into the school district’s handling of Cruz’s behavioral issues. While more than half of the report was redacted, the blacked-out sections of the document could still easily be read by copying and pasting into a separate document, a trick used by The Sun-Sentinel to release the unredacted report on Friday.

    Among the conclusions in the report, authored by the Collaborative Educational Network of Tallahassee, are two glaring instances in which Broward school officials failed to act in accordance with laws governing the treatment of students with disabilities.

    In Cruz’s junior year, after he had already begun exhibiting behavior so disturbing it led to guidance counselors wanting to have him committed, the teenager sat down with education specialists to discuss his options for further schooling. He was told he could transfer to Cross Creek, a school tailored for students with special needs; sue the Broward school district; or stay at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School without any special counseling. According to a review of that meeting featured in the new report, school officials left out one crucial fact: Cruz was still entitled to special assistance at Stoneman Douglas if he chose to stay.

    Being unaware of this option, however, Cruz—whose developmental delays were flagged at age 3—was reportedly stripped of counseling services and left to fend for himself as a “regular student.”

    Months later, when Cruz changed his mind and sought to transfer to Cross Creek, the school district “did not follow through,” according to the report. He dropped out on Feb. 8, 2017, due to failing grades, and three days later purchased an AR-15, the same one used a year later in what has now become one of the deadliest school shootings in the U.S.

    Mother of Teen Who Inspired Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy' Speaks Out For First Time
    By Katrina Nattress

    November 7, 2018


    [​IMG]
    On January 8, 1991, 15-year-old Jeremy Delle walked into his English class at Richardson High School and shot himself in front of his fellow students.
    Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder read about the tragic suicide in a newspaper, and the teen's story became the inspiration for "Jeremy," the third single off the band's debut album Ten.

    Nearly 30 years after his death, Jeremy's mom, Wanda Crane, is speaking out for the first time.

    “That day that he died did not define his life,” she told local Dallas, Texas news station WFAA in a recent interview. "He was a son, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, a grandson. He was a friend. He was talented.”

    As the song suggests in its opening lines "At home drawing pictures / Of mountaintops," Jeremy was already an accomplished artist at the time of his death. His artwork won awards at state fairs, including Best of Show, all before he was 12 years old.

    Wanda now hosts a grief support group at her church, and when she hears news of school shootings now, she thinks of the families, and how the student will be portrayed. "I think of what will be said or what opinions will be thought about the student," she said, "But it's the mothers and sisters that I want to wrap my arms around and tell them someday it'll be better."

    Britanny King, who was in Jeremy's English class that fateful day, also spoke out about the song. “I was angry at them for writing that song," she admitted. "I thought, 'You don’t know. You weren’t there. That story isn’t accurate.'”

    Vedder discussed his reluctance to delve deeper into the real story in an interview published just weeks after Ten's release. "That was a newspaper article," he said, "and then when I went to write about it, I thought of actually getting a hold of what the actual person it was written about, but then I thought that would be intruding."

    Watch the full WFAA segment below.

    Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz was obsessed with guns — and to the chagrin of his mother, also appeared to be a fan of President Donald Trump.

    So when his mother, “a liberal anti-gun type,” died in 2017, Cruz used his own “Trump hat” to get a twisted final word on their political differences, a friend told police in a 425-page investigative report released on Thursday.

    “Due to the fact that his mother hated Donald Trump he put it in her casket with her when she died and took a picture of her with the hat,” the friend, Hunter McCutcheon, told a detective, according to a report authored by the lead detective in the criminal case against the confessed mass murderer.

    It’s yet one more unsettling detail about Cruz, an emotionally disturbed teen who walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14 and opened fire, killing 17 people and wounding 17 more. He is facing the death penalty for Florida’s deadliest school shooting, an incident that sparked a wave of student activism and even led to the passage of a gun-control law in Florida.

    This is not a political issue, it's a human issue. Also, he put a MAGA hat in his mom's coffin and registered as a Republican from jail.

    the intent of the story (should be) is to show his psychotic/asshole character traits, not a matter of politics.

    Fleury showed no remorse, confessed to creating some of the Instagram accounts and sending the posts but said he had no intention of carrying through with any of it, the complaint said.
    He admitted to a fascination with the Parkland shooter and other mass and serial murderers and told agents he targeted Stoneman Douglas families whom he identified as “activists” and who had a large social media presence. Fleury said he was mainly looking for a reaction, popularity and notoriety and to stir up controversy, McDowell wrote in the complaint.

    Agree with your point, but have you seen America?

    We have a well established precedent of caring more about an inanimate object (our phone) than almost anything else in life.

    I know people from back home that have an effectively insignificant amount of followers that still treat the posts like it's a second job.
