CNN: Trump Shouldn't Call Psychopathic School Shooter a "Sicko" Because It's "Stigmatizing" to Psychopathic School Shooters

CNN is pretty determined that there is only one issue we'll be discussing here, and that is confiscating Americans' guns, and we will not be permitted to discuss mental health or keeping "sickos" from getting guns.

What a joke.

CNN goes so far as to accuse Trump of basically using the n-word.

From CNN:

"How helpful is calling a black person the n-word? Not only is it disrespectful, it fans racism," said Pat Corrigan, a distinguished professor of psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology who manages the National Consortium on Stigma and Empowerment.

As you know, even though a lot of people called this sicko a psycho, and told the cops and FBI about it, they didn't do anything about it:

On the day after Thanksgiving, Cruz was at work at a Dollar Tree store. Rocxanne Deschamps’ son, Rock, 22, called 911 to report that an "adopted 19-year-old son" had possibly hidden a "gun in the backyard," according to a dispatcher’s notes. Rock Deschamps told law enforcement "there were no weapons allowed in the household"” the report said. It's unclear from the record whether sheriff's deputies conducted a search. The incident was classified as "domestic unfounded," which means a deputy didn't find proof to back up the claims.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office was called again to the home four days later, when Rock said Cruz lashed out against the family that took him in, according to the Palm Beach deputy’s report and dispatcher notes. The deputy went to a local park and found Cruz, who explained that he had misplaced a photo of his recently deceased mother and, emotionally distraught, began punching the wall...
Rock interrupted Cruz and a fight broke out between them, according to the documents. Cruz left the home, and Rocxanne Deschamps called 911. She warned the police dispatcher that Cruz said "he was going to get his gun and come back," records show. She said Cruz had "bought a gun from Dick's last week and is now going to pick it up."
Rocxanne Deschamps told the dispatcher that Cruz had "bought tons of ammo" and "has used a gun against ppl before," the notes said. "He has put the gun to others heads in the past."

Now, what would have happened if the FBI investigated his YouTube threat to become a "professional school shooter" slightly more than not at all and combined this information with the constant stream of hair-raising reports on this little psychopath?

Maybe sometimes you have to use clear language like "sicko" to let bureaucrats know that if they don't act, something important is on the line: their jobs.

15 Instapundit frequently mentions that people don't have faith in the institutions because of incompetence and such like this.

Also why I joke about being an anarchist. What is the FBI even good for?

Or the other thing I like to repeat-- *if* Mussolini had made the trains run on time (he didn't, but let's pretend), that would be a data point in his favor, and then people could argue and debate various merits and tradeoffs; safety vs. freedom and all that.

But if a system is both corrupt and incompetent? Yeah, no.

44 I'm going to keep posting this until I get an answer.

OK I want one of you lawyers to explain to me why I am wrong in this analysis.

1. The Supreme Court in The District of Columbia vs Heller ruling held that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right.

2. The operative part of 18 U.S. Code 242 reads as follows:

"Whoever
under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom
willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth,
Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or
immunities secured or protected by the Constitution..." The rest of the
law describes other offenses and penalties up to death for aggravated
circumstances for doing the above.

18 U.S. Code 242 is the law
that made all of the Jim Crow laws dead letter unenforceable. Since
Heller, I hold that it applies to all gun control laws also. Why am I
wrong?

94 Let's be honest here: CNN would shamelessly defend Pol Pot or Idi Amin if there was the remotest possibility that it could 1) Portray Trump in a bad light and/or 2) Advance the disarming of the US citizenry.

Posted by: Nonapod at February 23, 2018 03:49 PM (CLP9I)

95 Nikolas Cruz was a known threat, and had been reported numerous times to law enforcement. Nothing, absolutely nothing was done to even assess that threat let alone intercede.

At some point, one has to wonder if there isn't a conspiracy to allow these threats to fester and then explode with tragic consequences.

I'm not a conspiracy kind of person, and it feels odd to even think this way. But after all of these shootings, and seeing how many of these tragedies could have been avoided if people reporting bad behavior were taken seriously, I'm starting to question things. Not in a "let's recruit crazies to shoot up the place" kind of way, but in a lassaiz-faire sort of way, if crazies are reported, let them go and then we can use the tragedy to push an agenda.

Never let a tragedy go to waste, right? And don't get in the way of a tragedy if one might be forming.

From the way that dad spoke, it was done with a filter. So they said they were looking for people to "discuss policy" or something like that.

People reported him threatening them. He apparently held a gun to someone's head. The trained deputy on site refused to go into the school to confront the shooter. Anything else? I'd like to make a list:

The FBI ignored two warnings about the shooter, yet "If you see something say something."

The Police ignored 20 threats from him, but you must only place your safety in their hands.

The Police ignored him pointing a gun at someone, yet its the people that regularly take gun safety classes are the ones that need their guns taken away.

The Deputy at the school refused to protect the people he was their being paid to protect, but we must give up all our guns and only allow law enforcement to protect us.

At some point, one has to wonder if there isn't a conspiracy to allow these threats to fester and then explode with tragic consequences.

I'm not a conspiracy kind of person, and it feels odd to even think this way. But after all of these shootings, and seeing how many of these tragedies could have been avoided if people reporting bad behavior were taken seriously, I'm starting to question things. Not in a "let's recruit crazies to shoot up the place" kind of way, but in a lassaiz-faire sort of way, if crazies are reported, let them go and then we can use the tragedy to push an agenda.

Never let a tragedy go to waste, right? And don't get in the way of a tragedy if one might be forming.

Anyone have a good run down of everything the authorities fucked up in
this case? You know, the FBI ignored two credible warnings about him.
The police received over 20 calls about him. People reported him
threatening them. He apparently held a gun to someone's head. The
trained deputy on site refused to go into the school to confront the
shooter. Anything else? I'd like to make a list:

The FBI ignored two warnings about the shooter, yet "If you see something say something."

The Police ignored 20 threats from him, but you must only place your safety in their hands.

The Police ignored him pointing a gun at someone, yet its the people
that regularly take gun safety classes are the ones that need their
guns taken away.

The Deputy at the school refused to protect the people he was their
being paid to protect, but we must give up all our guns and only allow
law enforcement to protect us.

There was an image posted of a close-up supposedly taken at a CNN

If that is real and part of the town hall in question and not photoshopped, CNN has a lot to answer for.

282 I'm pretty sure the exclusively cable tv channels do not have licenses that can be pulled. If CNN still owns that local station in Atlanta, WTBS, that station does have a broadcast license from the FCC and if the station is not serving its local community WTBS's license could be pulled.

Over the air broadcasting being licensed goes back to the Communications Act of 1934. Stations were using the public's airspace to transmit and had to prove they were serving the public.

Cable tv does not use the public airspace. It would seem that satellite delivered tv would fall under that umbrella but it does not.

There may be other ways to go after cable channels - using the Federal Trade Commission? But cable tv is not licensed, only local over the air stations are licensed.

342 And while we're on the subject, the shooter says he was bullied. Pray tell, by whom???"

Probably by the kids he was threatening to shoot. Which is called defending oneself.

Or his lawyer told him to say that.

It's become a standard defense it seems.
