It’s been almost a year since a young man entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and killed 17 students with a gun. After the media and Democrats pushed a narrative that the problem was merely a lack of gun control, much of the world moved on. But research, reports, and investigations that occurred this last year have proven it’s not that simple.
Not surprisingly, what we have learned about the tragedy in Parkland has nothing to do with a lack of gun control, nor does it even point to gun problems in the United States. The mainstream media will not admit this, or follow up on what we have learned since Parkland, because it does not align with their narrative.
So, here are some of the truths discovered since then — many in the last two weeks, and many of which are still unfolding.
1. The Broward County Sheriff’s Department Was Ill-equipped
If local journalists have learned anything, it’s that Broward County Sheriff staff were not equipped to handle such a tragic event, both due to lack of training and lack of courage. Several staff members have been fired or resigned due to this in the past month.
To start with, when the Broward County Sheriff’s Department received the 911 call, many members of law enforcement simply did not act quickly, either out of fear, lack of training, or cowardice. NBC News reports this could be in part due to the department’s active-shooter policy, which stated that deputies “may,” rather than “shall,” proceed into an active-shooter scene. Even so, some vague wording should not have kept armed, trained law enforcement from bombarding an area where a teenager was wielding a gun.
The Sun-Sentinel reports “seven Broward deputies, including the school resource officer, heard shots, but none ran into the school to confront and kill the shooter …” One of those people is Broward Deputy Josh Stambaugh. He arrived at the Parkland shooting and, via his body cam, the public can hear he could hear shots were being fired.
He arrived at the scene and took a full minute to put his vest on. Despite the fact that this happened nearly one year ago, video footage was only just now released to the public. If you really want to get angry, turn up your volume. As Stambaugh slowly prepares to do nothing, shots can be heard from his body cam.
Jan Jordan, the captain formerly in charge of the Parkland division, finally resigned this last month after recognizing her failure to act. In this clip, you can hear Sheriff Scott Israel describe that essentially Jordan was hired because she was a woman and would balance out the team’s mostly male staff.
