the teachers themselves tell us to report any kinds of threats even if they were just playin around and yet when they did, no one believed.

If Brian Oliver shoots up the school, i swear to god. I have like 4 classes with him! #homeschoolplease—

Can everyone please start kissing Brian Oliver's ass? I don't really feel like being shot even though I am super nice to him.—

The above tweets were posted nearly four weeks before Thursday’s shooting took place.
Many Taft High School students believe that school administrators should have done more:
@desiraealexis_ hell yeah he did. You'd think after multiple times of threatening murder, the school would have him taken care of.—

@Lurch113_ you'd think. But they were oblivious. If they would have, none of this would have happened. But they did their best today..—

It's crazy cause the same kid threatened to stab @erowe313 with a screwdriver freshman year in woodshop…—

What happened today was a tragedy. but serious it could have been prevented.
Taft High, OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES—

@scovelYo well it wasn't just the hit list. He made multiple threats to people, so I don't understand why the didn't do something about it—

@scovelYo @desiraealexis_ Sarah do you not understand this kid was mentally fucked up and shouldn't have been at school after the hitlist?—

I like how Taft High makes a bigger deal about stealing a corn dog in the lunch line, but making a hit list they don't do nothing.—

I love Taft High but this was there fault.—

As we noted in our Thursday post, at least one student met with Vice Principal Rona Angelo in connection with her tweets about the threat posed by Oliver.
Maybe Angelo should've taken me more serious when I got called in because of mine and @beezygioni 's tweets—
