School officials failed to send Nikolas Cruz to court after he violated Obama-era diversion program
Confessed mass shooter Nikolas Cruz had no criminal record despite dozens of disciplinary infractions, but there was one case in which Broward County school administrators were obligated to send him before a judge — and didn’t do it.

After trashing a middle-school bathroom in 2013, Mr. Cruz received a three-day referral to a newly created diversion program called Promise designed to help kids who had committed misdemeanors avoid arrest and stay out of the “school-to-prison pipeline.”

He didn’t show. At that point, school policy dictated that he should have been hauled before Judge Elijah Williams of the Broward County Delinquency Division, and yet there is no record that it ever happened, according to Timothy Sternberg, a former assistant principal who helped run Promise from 2014-17.


“There’s negligence here because no one ever followed up,” Mr. Sternberg told the Washington Times.

The gun grabbers think this incident is the perfect example to justify outlawing guns. In reality this incident is the perfect example of the ineffectiveness of government and the need for wider gun ownership. Government failed at all levels to protect the kids in that school. The govt conspired to keep this nutjob out of prison and those charged with public safety turned out to be moral cowards unfit for their jobs. I don't know where I will retire to, but it sure as hell won't be broward county in florida.

We gun owners should be shouting that from the roof tops ... .. These government folks were responsible for the students deaths .. .. Just as well as the shooter. We had a case of a child dying here in Rochester ... CPS was negligent .... in some ways ... An outcry has occurred ... Why don't we have the same outcry over this "government fail " ? Blame the gun .... instead...
