Article from the Daily Wire by Ben Shapiro.
On Thursday night, the American public learned two bombshell pieces of information regarding the Parkland, Florida mass shooting. First, we learned that the Broward County Sheriff’s Office was told in November that the Parkland shooter “could be a school shooter in the making” but deputies didn’t bother to write up a report; that report “came just weeks after a relative called urging BSO to seize his weapons.” Then, in even more shocking news, we learned that an armed school resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School sat outside and waited for four minutes during the six minute attack that ended in the deaths of 17 human beings.

It was such a pretty day outside! Why would I want to go inside where someone is making such awful noises? I wanted to go home and see my family and my shift was almost over, now, would it make any sense to confront a shooter, I mean really, would you? Oh, the gun I had, that’s just for show, everybody knows that. I can’t tell you how sorry I am about the children (puts a bad mark on my service record). But really, someone was inside shooting, I didn’t want to be a target!!!! Neither did my fellow deputies, let the other county’s deputies take the chance.
