Possibly. Looking at what's being reported in regards to his social media accounts, many students have said that if there was going to be a shooting at the school, this kid would be the one to do it. And this was being said last year. One of his social media accounts was reported to the FBI.
Nothing was done. There was a clear and present danger with this kid, it was reported, and still not one single agency exercised due diligence to ensure that this sort of thing could have been prevented.
We have a problem in this country. Clearly, if someone is posting all sorts of questionable stuff on social media and people have taken the steps to report it to law enforcement and law enforcement does nothing - then where do you think the problem lies?
Thoughts and prayers won't fix this. Talking about this won't entirely fix this. Action and taking steps to ensure that when law enforcement is alerted to negative behavior, they investigate and do what they need to so that the troubled person gets the help they need. Until that happens, we will keep on having these incidents.
