NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch, who was grilled at CNN’s very premature “town hall” over the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, really is owed another CNN town hall, considering all we’ve learned about the Broward County Sheriff’s Office’s response to the shooting and the numerous red flags that were overlooked by law enforcement.
Now the Miami Herald is reporting on a sworn video-recorded statement released by prosecutors on Tuesday evening in which security guard Andrew Medina is interviewed. Medina was the first to spot the shooter on campus and immediately “began frantically texting fellow security guards.”
NEW: MSD security guard discusses how Parkland murderer had a swastika on his school bag, was a known violent threat, and that the school intervened and prevented him from having a criminal record that would have barred firearm purchase. UNREAL. https://t.co/Y2um4TLhDX

"’We had a meeting about him last year and we said if there's gonna be anybody whose gonna come to this school and shoot this school up, it's going to be that kid,’ Medina told detectives” https://t.co/Y2um4TLhDX

The Miami Herald once again reported on the PROMISE program that helped keep Cruz out of the criminal justice system:
Medina’s testimony to detectives details what became alarmingly clear after the shooting: School officials long knew about Cruz’s bouts of rage, obsession with weapons and Nazi imagery and violent outbursts against fellow students. Cruz was also assigned to a controversial program that diverts troubled students to alternative schools over the criminal-justice system — critics contend the program encourages a culture of lax discipline. The Broward County School District says he never showed up for those classes.
Yet, Cruz had avoided any arrests, and despite his history of mental health problems, was able to buy a cache of weapons.
Where is the die in at @RobertwRuncie office? His policies SPECIFICALLY prohibited the murderer from having a earned criminal record. Where is the die in at Sheriff @ScottJIsrael ‘s office? He worked with Runcie to hide the murderer’s criminal behavior.

But think about it: Zero criticism of Runcie or Sheriff Israel from gun control groups and advocates and they were the ones who made it legal for this psycho to purchase a firearm. They refused to log his crimes.

With all of this knowledge, they failed to act before and failed to act during. Rather than focusing on this to help prevent it from happening again, journos decided to make the NRA the bad guy. Outrageous.
