These whores to the CoC will continue to natter on about America and Values, et cetera while they sell out America to their globalist pay masters. The individual voter in Utah could save us and not vote for the carpet-bagger Romney but they will dutifully put him in office.
With McCain’s retreat, some turn to Romney to carry his torch
Friends of both Romney and McCain say Romney’s willingness to jump back into the political arena provides them with another high-profile antagonist to Trump’s America-first worldview.
I have no faith in the voters of Utah to save us from this horrid man. I wish that they would prove me wrong, but they won’t.
Good morning. No wonder Mittens is back, because he ran such a stellar campaign for President.
I don’t care if be kneels facing Salt Lake City five times a day banging his forehead on the floor.
I don’t care if he tithes to the LDS Church, the guy is a cretin.
He went to Trump Tower during the campaign slobbering all over Trump and got cash and his endorsement.
He then turns around and smears Trump trying to destroy his candidacy in a vile rant.
He will get elected and make McCain proud with his quisling conduct.

Have often wondered that as well ever since the Columbine shooting. Seems to be a very high correlation as well as the fact that the number of these incidents is higher than it has ever been. Also argues that gun control is not the answer because those driven to psychotic behavior will merely adapt to different tools most likely starting with vehicles. This will lead to putting anti-theft pillars and vehicle barriers up around public places which will drive the perps to a different tool … … and nobody will be getting at root cause.
As proof, I cite the jihadists in Formerly Great Britain and Canada who, having a harder time getting guns, started running people down with cars leading to public places putting up barriers which has now led to jihadis using battery acid and knives.

According to FNC the FBI is now admitting that the tip that they received on Nickolas Cruz was never passed
on to the Miami Fkeld Office. if this is accurate it is a real foul up. They have been playing CYA for a couple of

Odd, the FBI has the resources to do the Trump / Russian collusion crap and get Flynn, but could not handle this?

I can remember a couple of CIA types getting caught with their fingers in the ALP (Australian Labor Party) cookie jar back in the 1960s. The CIA also ‘outed’ at least two former Prime Ministers and many cabinet ministers as agents of the Soviet Union. They also caused the fall of the Whitlam government and the election of Fraser. Not that that did much good as Fraser turned out to be a true believer in one world government and rule of the elites.

Serious question. What legal jurisdiction does the FBI have when it gets info on the school shooter? And altho they should have told the local law enforcement, the locals already knew, they’d been to his house 39 times. I don’t understand how the FBI’s failure to inform has any bearing on this as they knew anyway.
The FBI has a ‘set in stone’ investigative protocol that does two specific things. First it prevents the FBI from investigating every potential example of lawbreaking that crosses its desk. To do otherwise would destroy the FBi’s ability to investigate anything as its resources would be stretched so thinly that it would fail 100% of the time. Priorities and different levels of information matching protocols that flow from that prioritisation means that all potential cases are NOT treated equally.
If a case is sketch from a Federal sense or if the individual has no Federal history with State or Federal authorities regarding criminality then the FBI protocol demands that only a arbitrary Open Source check is carried out and most of these cases end in no action.
Because there still exists information and intelligence ‘stove-piping’ within the Intelligence and Law enforcement communities at all levels many times available information, related to potential criminal incidents that do not result in formal criminal charges being laid and criminal convictions awarded, is missed because it just isn’t recorder in places where it is accessible to Federal Investigators.
Access to Psychiatric records, court records where discharge was recommended, not guilty verdicts, and many other public records are off limits or are not accessed by a ‘surface FBI check … as per the Operational FBI Protocols. This is done because the FBI just doesn’t have the manpower capacity ability to do otherwise.
The second reason for the FBI set of Protocols is to prevent the FBI or other agencies from gathering information from the general populous when no criminality has been suspected. Such is the cost of an Open Society.
At times like this people demand that the State operate a system that protects everyone from anything that is evil even if it means sanctioning some citizen for ‘pre-crime’. Do you REALLY want to live that SciFi horror for real where government can just randomly arrest you before a crime is committed?
As with all of these arguments it’s NOT the weapons, It’s NOT the seemingly inability of agencies to protect citizens 100% of the time.
It’s about the evil that has entered our lives and societies with the loss of humanity that result from the breakdown in societies and between individuals and families. Fix those deep problems and the symptoms will go away on their own.
As I mentioned to Coldwarrior the other day. There is a disconnect between peoples’ ideas regarding Intelligence and Evidence. When a system depends on evidence a massive swath of information is discarded because it exists within the files of intelligence analysts and not jurists.
eaglesoars wrote:
Local authorities can’t arrest him for Pre-Crime !
Well not YET !
He can’t be monitored 24/7 because that requires between 10-20 personnel
He can’t be locked up in a secure Psychiatric hospital because he still has civil rights and he hasn’t actually done anything serious enough to justify removing his civil rights
He is medicated or is in an outpatients system that depends on trust when there is precious little trust about these days, and where it is assumed that patients actually TAKE their medications …. some of which could potentially cause in a increase on paranoia rather than ameliorating it.
He’s living in an isolated, lonely, friendless society where nobody cares for others to a greater or lesser extent, and where the societal unit.. the Family unit… is under pressure if not outright attack.

they arrested him 3 days after he assaulted me in my apt. The pics the police photog took during his ‘friendly visit’ were really good.

Threatening school shootings does not sound like legally protected speech. They had a copy of his post.
I am not saying that they had grounds to arrest him, but I would think that 5hey had probable cause
