On Wednesday February 14th, 2018 at approximately 2:21pm, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and wounding 17 survivors. While many immediately pushed for gun control in the aftermath of this horrible mass slaughter, recent information has made a strong case for a different change in policy.

In 2011-2012, Broward County Public Schools had 1,056 total student arrests – 71% for misdemeanor offenses. These were the highest overall numbers in the state of Florida.

After concerns over “students of color, students with disabilities and LGBTQ students” being “disproportionately impacted by school-based arrests” – the PROMISE program was created in 2013. Standing for Preventing Recidivism through Opportunities, Mentoring, Interventions, Supports & Education – the PROMISE program was specifically implemented in an effort to “eliminate the school-to-prison pipeline.”

After the implementation of the PROMISE program, Broward County Public School arrests dropped from 1,056 students in 2011-2012, to only 392 during the 2015-2016 school year. Stefan Molyneux explains.

The Parkland Story

The Truth Factory not only looks at the school shooting in Parkland, but travels back in time to an earlier shooting that occurred in Broward County, Florida, a year earlier. In that case, the shooter, Esteban Santiago, reported hearing voices and claimed that the CIA was attempting to brainwash him. That brings us to nowadays, when Nikolas Cruz — also hearing voices — unleashed an attack on a Parkland school, killing 17 students.

Cruz had reportedly been identified as a threat and a potential shooter 45 times in calls placed to the Broward County sheriff and the FBI. But both those law enforcement agencies never dealt with him, or tried to stop the carnage. Rather than mass gun control, it seems perhaps we just need half-way decent law enforcement and a plan that institutionalizes those who are dangerous and mentally ill. In the end, citizens need their guns because they sure cannot rely on corrupt, lying and cowardly cops like Scott Israel, the Broward County sheriff.

Florida School Schooting

On Wednesday February 14th, 2018 at approximately 2:30pm, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and wounding thirteen survivors – including two people who remain in critical condition.

The suspect was reportedly armed with an AR-15 style rifle, “countless magazines” of ammunition, a gas mask and even smoke grenades – as he set off a fire alarm and brought students out from their classrooms and into the school hallways prior to the shooting.

Cruz was apprehended on Wednesday and charged on Thursday with 17 counts of premeditated murder in the third-deadliest school shooting in American history. More from Stefan Molyneux.
