#1 I blame 'justice delayed.'

Now if the perpetrators knew they'd get swift (5 days or less) very painful public justice involving harsh chemicals, fire, insects, and or impalement, culminating in prolonged, certain death......

Of course you'd have the odd one or two suicidal maniac, but the penalty might give others pause.

Heinous acts call for heinous measures. Somehow it must stop !

#4 This boy’s problems started a long time ago.
Easier to push victims of abandonment thru a poorly run system into the future than address the psychosocial issue immediately.

Sad for the school victims.

#5 than address the psychosocial issue immediately
Not even the relevant experts seem to know what to do with kids like these.

#6 The usual suspects will scream for additional curtailment of the Constitutional rights of law abiding citizens who have done no wrong.

#7 Buzzfeed - The FBI Was Warned About A School Shooting Threat From A YouTube User Named Nikolas Cruz In September

If accurate, Cruz was yet another one... "on the bureau's radar." Will we soon learn that Cruz was enrolled in flying lessons ?

Perhaps they were simply too busy with much higher priority Carter Page operations.

Grandmother foils alleged mass shooting plot at Everett school

Apparently the grandmonther found some very-detailed plans for the student to go on an 'imfamous' shootings and reported it to the police.

#10 Kid was adopted. Not sure any biological heritage clues can be drawn from his legal surname.

Certainly an interesting topic, and one with an abundance of denial.

#12 The DSM-V does not recognize or offer diagnosis of psychosis in adolescents.

We've had enough cases of marginalized children and young people, bullied or ostracized, abused by parents, siblings or family, that eventually commit horrific crimes. The entire paradigm of diagnosis is flawed. The fact that all of these factors lead to similar conclusions in the progression have been proven time after time and both law enforcement and the mental health community refuse to go there with anything meaningful in the way of treatment and or identification.

I can tell you from the pictures, the boy is a fair skinned red head. The term red headed step child is operative here. If he were adopted by Hispanic parents and living in a Hispanic community, the taunting and verbal abuse of a red head could be horrific.

I can speak of this, I had some nasty moments in elementary school because I was a red head. I developed a nasty right cross and a good jab, other than a few trips to the principle, I put an end to that crap when I stood up for myself.

Now schools won't let kids stand up for themselves and condone the bully. In fact, teachers are the worst bullies in a school setting.

The kid was on a path to this for a long time and no one helped or cared. Intervention could have helped him and saved lives but...

#13 There are hints of Autism in stories, don't know if that's true or not. Too much swirl of smoke right now

#14 I'm pretty sure some day they'll determine that anti-depressants and other drugs have a 1% chance of causing this type of behavior and that if the doctors that prescribe the drugs do not keep a very close watch and moderate dosage you end up with a monster.

I read a blog of a woman who started taking such drugs and seriously started planning all sorts of crazy stuff until she realized something was seriously wrong and told all to her psychiatrist. It was chilling and I can imagine for a teen it might be easier to slip into that sort of state.

#16 Ref #15: Blinding flash here, but there is an extremely high incidence of alcoholism in Russia. Parents wishing to adopt Russian children are generally advised of potential difficulties and outcomes.

Sorry, but as long as the ACLU keeps His commandments of Love, Honor, Respect and You Will Not Murder out of our schools or children will do just the opposite.

#18 The Daily Mail updated as of 8 a.m. ET. With lots of photos. Sorry it’s not properly, but I’m rushing out the door.

REVEALED: Expelled gunman in gas mask and armed with smoke grenades 'SET OFF fire alarm so he could draw students into halls for maximum devastation' before shooting dead 17 people

Former student Nikolas Cruz, 19, opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel confirmed that 17 people had been killed and dozens more were injured
Cruz was armed with at least one AR-15 rifle and had 'multiple magazines' when he stormed the school
Investigators are now looking into whether Cruz may have pulled the fire alarm to draw people into halls
The teenager had been expelled from the school last year for unknown 'disciplinary reasons'
Police say the shooter managed to evade police by fleeing the school with hundreds of terrified students
He was tracked down in a nearby neighborhood after authorities reviewed surveillance footage
Traumatized students said that once they heard reports of a mass shooting at the school they knew it would be Cruz, while one teacher said he had been identified as a potential threat to his classmates last year
Some students barricaded themselves inside their classrooms while others were seen sprinting away from the school as police and SWAT teams swarmed the building
A student who claims to know Cruz said the suspected gunman was a 'troubled kid' and obsessed with guns
