Be AN example, instead of a NRA play boy

...and that Wray was only appointed in August 2017, thus causing a huge disruption in FBI operations coupled with constant attacks and demands to clean house at the FBI?

Scott should look in the mirror or blame Trump and Sessions. Why doesn’t he?

the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott should be RECALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He won't blame any Republican that might be able to help him win a senatorial seat.

in FBI funding so that they can investigate every kook? If not, why is 45 demanding 25,000 more border guards and billions of dollars?

Skelator Scott is just doing the usual right-wing diversion thing with the FBI. I'm sure the bureau receives thousands of such tips every year about people who have no business having access to firearms; unfortunately, human error is bound to come into play.

The Replicants will do anything to derail the investigation. I would wager local LE and state police didn't do anything with the tips either.

kids at Highland will not be fooled.

...of Trump.

Where have we heard that before?

should be asked to resign after 14 elder Floridians died when his office failed to respond to an SOS from the the center"s director that was left on the Gov's helpline after a hurricane last year or the year before...

Including you

protect itself and students that attended that school from an expelled former student with serious issues is unacceptable. The Governor of Florida and the Supervisor of the School District should resign immediately. The people closest to the situation need to accept responsibility for their inaction.

Enough said.

is he aware how many tips they get about gun humping cowards?

in Trump's quest to get Wray et al to resign.

I wonder if the tipster also called FDLE about Cruz.

... and attempted to confiscate his legally purchased guns, before he had even committed a crime, what would the State of Florida have done?

Actually, "Nikolas Cruz" sounds like a Hispanic name, so it's entirely possible they wouldn't have done jack shit, but still...

Scott needs to check his own shit before looking for a scapegoat.

Glass Houses.

And the FBI has apologized.

FBI Apologizes, Says It Failed To Probe Tip on Florida School Shooter


Miami — The FBI issued an extraordinary apology this afternoon, revealing that it had received a tip on Jan. 5, 2018, that Nikolas Cruz was acting erratically and may have been planning a school shooting. The agency failed to act on the tip.

Thanks for the personal attack, TOS violation.

The current Director is Christopher A. Wray, who assumed the role on August 2, 2017 after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, taking over from acting Director Andrew McCabe after the dismissal of former Director James Comey by President Donald Trump.

you and i and EVERYONE here knows this

Confiscating weapons they are legally in possession of ... on the basis of a 'tip'?

Is that your 'official position' on the subject?

No, you don't mean THAT, do you now?

Or perhaps you feel that the FBI should immediately begin 'tailing' every single gun owner that someone else calls the FBI on and says 'this person is scaring me with his guns and talk'?

If so, how long should they FBI trail these people FOR, exactly? The rest of their lives? Just to see if they eventually act out violently?

And if so, you're good with hiring 10's of 1000's of professional FBI 'tip tailers', all with gov't salaries and pensions and benefits, at cost of probably on the order of 100's of Millions/year after all expenses and travel and per diem are paid?

No, you're not saying THAT either?

THEN WTF ARE YOU SAYING THEY SHOULD'VE DONE, dumbass?

They are the ones who dropped the ball.

That Scott has managed to spin this as the fault of the FBI isn't surprising. He has Twitler's full support along with a bunch of Koch brothers' money.

Scott is just trying to cover his ass. They could have interviewed the kid and if he seemed somewhat normal, they can't sit on the kid forever. It's like with the Boston bomber, they checked on them but at that time, they weren't;t doing anything. Scoot is trying to deflect from Florida's gun laws. It's like I've said, having been a public librarian in an urban library for 30 years, we dealt with
people who were mentally impaired for years, the difference is, they didn't have guns. Crazy without guns is just crazy, crazy with guns is when the trouble starts.

"...in his state."

Something doesn't smell right. My kids go to highschool and if I knew of a potential problem kid or ex-student that could threaten my kids with guns, I would contact the local Sheriff. I think over 90% of the country would do this. Could this be a trumped up hit job against the FBI? Who bypasses the local authorities and goes to the FBI? It is stupid to do so. I have become so jaded to think of things like this.

Do nothing governor in the pocket of utilities and sugar interests. A con artist like Trump who cheated Medicare and the U.S. out of millions.

It's just another try to destroy the FBI and discredit Mueller. If it is true--and there's a good reason it is--there is a reason for the FBI having trouble. Trump has been destroying the ability of the FBI and the rest of the government to function.

Destruction of the US government, of course, is just what Putin wants. Nothing too difficult here to figure out.

What the hell has Rick Scott done to make his schools safer? I know, fuck all. nothing, zilch, zip, nada...
