You have heard of the “100 Days of Summer” yes? That is where on average 10 teenage kids will die each day in a car crash. Usually fueled by drinking, drug use or speed.

Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Summer means increased risk of dying in car crashes for teens

https://usat.ly/2IQdw8x

You would think that these youth leaders with their powerful messages on “not one more...” and “enough is enough” do something in Congress message would be protesting in the streets and “marching for our life” to stop under-aged drinking and driving, just say no to drugs, and no one needs 500-Horsepower engines.

Maybe they should go after the car manufacturers and corporations that donate millions and lobby Congress to allow them to keep making cars with the same inadequate safety and fuel ratings and emission standards as twenty years ago or longer.

Surely these kids would be happy with an electric smart car that can detect when they are impaired, or there are more kids in the car than seatbelts, or that the level of the drivers licensing limits allowed by the state for minors (under the age of 21) are being followed (e.g., no underage passengers, no driving between hours of darkness (only under special circumstances as to and from school or place of work), no use of cellular devices (handheld or otherwise), etc...) the car will not operate if it detects another device capable of sending or receiving cellular data and voice transmissions other than the data being collected and sent to parents or city planners by the cars onboard system. Also that these cars can only use SLR technology or GPS to govern speed...because we all know that these signs “Gun Free Zone” and “Drug Free Zone” have worked so well keeping both of those off school campuses.

This is it, until you are 21 years of age this is the only car you can own and drive. It comes with dealer installed options that place steel cages in the font and rear seats reducing the number of passengers allowed. A 5-Point retention seatbelt for each allowable seat space. Breathalyzer and Retina scan ignition technology. It uses only sign recognition technology to detect speed limits, parking restrictions, turn and u-turn restrictions and control lights and signs to move, stop or slow. In the absence of readable signs the vehicle is controlled by GPS and preset limits established by the city (e.g., when not posted the maximum legal speed limit is 25-MPH in the city limits.) The car must also emit an audible sound and visual lighting for deaf and blind persons that cannot be muffled, altered or silenced. No trailer hitch or other devices may be attached to the car to make it more useful or enjoyable. It can be had in any color as long as it is white and has “STUDENT DRIVER” in orange letters stenciled on the front and rear of the car with a visible warning triangle on the roof.

We are a nation of laws and when our laws are not followed horrible and unimaginable acts are sure to happen.

Enough, not one more child should die at the hands of another child! Not in our school parking lots and not on our highways and backroads.

Tell your Senators and Congressional members, your Governors, and your President that you demand action today before one more life is lost. Let’s stop the madness...people under 21 should not be able to buy Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers and minivans capable of holding more than one adult passenger.

People have privileges and we as a nation should adopt and adapt to the demands of our children for they know best and have the experience and leadership to show us the right way forward.
Don't forget the Govt needs to collect another $200 for the muffler which you have to wait 6-12 months for. Plus you have to be 21 yo to buy it.

Excellent point!

Yes, and there should a universal background check and questions like have you now or have you ever smoked marijuana or used class III prescription drugs without a prescription?

Have you been judged mentally incapacitated or evaluated by a psychiatrist for depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, bi-polar or schizophrenia?

It’s a privilege to drive a motor vehicle that comes with great responsibility so a few questions similar to those on a 4473 should absolutely apply to being given the keys to something as dangerous as an automobile.

Hide, deny, spin, threaten: How the school district tried to mask failures that led to Parkland shooting

Brittany Wallman, Megan O'Matz and Paula McMahon
South Florida Sun Sentinel
12/4/18

Immediately after 17 people were murdered inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the school district launched a persistent effort to keep people from finding out what went wrong.

For months, Broward schools delayed or withheld records, refused to publicly assess the role of employees, spread misinformation and even sought to jail reporters who published the truth.

New information gathered by the South Florida Sun Sentinel proves that the school district knew far more than it’s saying about a disturbed former student obsessed with death and guns who mowed down staff and students with an assault rifle on Valentine’s Day.

After promising an honest assessment of what led to the shooting, the district instead hired a consultant whose primary goal, according to school records, was preparing a legal defense. Then the district kept most of those findings from the public.

The district also spent untold amounts on lawyers to fight the release of records and nearly $200,000 to pay public relations consultants who advised administrators to clam up, the Sun Sentinel found.

School administrators insist that they have been as transparent as possible; that federal privacy laws prevent them from revealing the school record of gunman Nikolas Cruz; that discussing security in detail would make schools more dangerous; and that answers ultimately will come when a state commission releases its initial findings about the shooting around New Year’s.

Beyond that, though, the cloak of secrecy illustrates the steps a beleaguered public body will take to manage and hide information in a crisis when reputations, careers and legal liability are at stake.

It also highlights the shortcomings of federal education laws that protect even admitted killers like Cruz who are no longer students. Behind a shield of privacy laws and security secrets, schools can cover up errors and withhold information the public needs in order to heal and to evaluate the people entrusted with their children’s lives.

Nine months after the Parkland shooting, few people have been held accountable — or even identified — for mishandling security and failing to react to signs that the troubled Cruz could erupt. Only two low-level security monitors have been fired.

Three assistant principals and a security specialist were finally transferred out of Stoneman Douglas this week as a result of information revealed by the state commission, but the district refused to say exactly what the employees did wrong.

“Obviously it seems to me there were multiple failures in the system,” said longtime businessman John Daly Sr. of Coral Springs, who with a few others started the activist group Concerned Citizens of Broward County in response to what they considered security lapses. “And basically it looked, more or less, like a cover-up, because they weren’t forthcoming about how they handled the situation.”

Superintendent Robert Runcie stresses that the school district has made no attempt to conceal information except when lawyers said it could not be released.

“That can’t be characterized — and should not be characterized — as the district doesn’t want to provide more information,” he said. “We work to be as transparent as possible. … We have nothing to hide.”

“There’s no conversation anywhere in this district about withholding any information that we can readily provide. I haven’t had those conversations. I haven’t heard about them.”

Familiar promises

Runcie has professed openness from the beginning, but reporters and families of dead children have been denied information time and again.

In May, three months after the shooting, Runcie said: “Look, we want to be as transparent and as clear as possible. … It's the only way that we're going to get better as a school district, as a society, to make sure that we can put things in place so that these types of tragedies don't happen again.”

In March, he said, “We cannot undo the heartbreak this attack has caused in the community, but we can try to understand the conditions that led to such acts in hopes of avoiding them in the future.”

That statement came as he announced what he called an “independent, comprehensive assessment” that would be done with “transparency and a sense of urgency.”

The review fell short of what he described.

Without taking bids or interviewing consultants, the district let its outside law firm hire Collaborative Educational Network of Tallahassee, a contractor that had worked for Broward schools before and knew school board attorney Barbara Myrick professionally.

CEN’s contract, for $60,000, did not demand the thorough and transparent review that Runcie promised. Rather, it directed the consultant to analyze Cruz’s school records, interview educators and keep the details secret. The contract required the consultant to “further assist the client in ongoing litigation matters.”

CEN spent several months analyzing one issue: whether Broward schools satisfied the law in the education of Nikolas Cruz, a one-time special education student, or whether “areas of concern” should be addressed. The review made no attempt to assess whether the district adequately protected students or failed to act on Cruz’s often-spoken plans for violence. Though Runcie said other agencies would be interviewed, none were.

The report, released in August after a court battle, concluded that the district generally treated Cruz properly. Exactly how, the public could not tell.

With a judge’s approval, the district obscured references to Cruz — nearly two-thirds of the text — to protect his privacy under law. Only when the Sun Sentinel obtained and published an uncensored copy did the truth come out: Cruz was deeply troubled; the district improperly withdrew support he needed; he asked for additional services; and the district bungled his request, leaving him spinning without help.

What the report didn’t say

Startling as those details were, they pale in light of new information obtained by the Sun Sentinel, none of it included in the consultant’s report or shared publicly by the school district.

The district was well aware that Cruz, for years, was unstable and possibly murderous:

-- “I’m a bad kid. I want to kill,” Cruz, now 20 years old, ominously told a teacher in middle school.

-- “I strongly feel that Nikolas is a danger to the students and faculty at this school,” Cruz’s eighth-grade language arts teacher wrote in a behavioral evaluation. “I do not feel that he understands the difference between his violent video games and reality.”

-- In middle school, he “stated he felt nervous about one day going to jail and wondered what would happen to him if he did something bad.”

-- Cruz told one teacher in October 2013 — 4½ years before his Parklandrampage — that “I would rather be on the street killing animals and setting fires.”

-- The same year, his eighth-grade class was discussing the Civil War in America. He “became fixated on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,” a teacher noted. “What did it sound like when Lincoln was shot?” he asked. “Did it go pop, pop, pop really fast? Was there blood everywhere?”

-- At Westglades Middle School, at the beginning of eighth grade, one girl’s mother called to have her transferred out of Cruz’s class because she was concerned for her child’s safety. The mother called Cruz a “menace to society,” according to a psychosocial assessment.

In short, the school district’s own records reveal Nikolas Cruz to be a tortured teen liable to explode at any time. Yet the analysis the district commissioned to help the communityoo “understand,” as Runcie promised, makes no mention of those episodes.

Ryan Petty, whose 14-year-old daughter, Alaina, was murdered at Stoneman Douglas, was angered that the report all but absolved the school district of responsibility.

“I have absolutely no trust that the district has any interest in policing itself,” Petty said.

Fighting public access

The school district began to lock down information right after the shooting, declaring that all Stoneman Douglas records were secret, even those the public had a legal right to see.

“At this time, any records pertaining to Stoneman Douglas High will not be released,” the district’s risk management department said in an email to reporters in February.

Even employees were subject to restraints. Some received letters of reprimand — not for mishandling Cruz, but for accessing his private records after the shooting.

Some left wing indoctrinators (formerly known as educators) need to lose their jobs and face both criminal and civil charges for the failures of the system to act upon known threats by the shooter.

This type of behavior (by the school & district) is institutional. Scale up x10 to understand why we don't know more particulars - and answers to publicly asked questions - about the Las Vegas concert massacre.

When you remember that the bulk of Akademia is solidly on the left, it is not hard to understand why they would never want to be shown incompetent, while dancing in the blood of the victims. I would say it is torches & pitchforks time at the very next school meetings, including the Broward district. Broward residents should attend & make them feel "uncomfortable."

Judge Denies Parkland Lawsuit...

A AM radio talking head was chiming in on the Judge denying the lawsuit by Parkland students that claimed they were denied their rights by Sheriff Isreal and his Broward County Keystone Kopps as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

Today was the first I had heard about it...

https://www.nbc-2.com/story/39668764...violate-rights

While the protection of the 14th Amendment may not cover this situation, student across the country should now be asking themselves exactly when are are the Police and Law Enforcement responsible for their protection....

Maybe the Police and Law Enforcement have the same responsibility and liability as your local code official.....ZERO.

This has already been ruled on at several levels all the way to the Supreme Court. The police have no obligation or legal requirements to risk their lives to protect their citizens.

Nothing will change until citizens sue their local city councilmembers and local state governments to return unrestricted access to firearms by lawful citizens to protect themselves and others as they see fit.

Start by suing former VP and Senator Joe Biden for coming up with the stupid Gun Free Zones that prevent law abiding citizens their constitutional second amendment rights to self defense.

That was my impression. On top of that all the emergency policies, security measures, rent a cops and metal detectors, etc. are primarily in place to limit the legal liability of the school districts should something go awry....not protect the students.

Warren vs DC

The police have no obligation to protect anyone, they are there to Enforce The Laws.

SCOTUS case Warren vs DC

This has been law of the land since 1976

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren...ct_of_Columbia

If yo want protection than it is you who has to provide it. This case is a cornerstone for the 2A. If not the police than who?

When you put this to the Gun Control crowd they have nothing to say afterwards.

They won't; they'll get nervous & deflect/dissemble. Give 'em an overciew of DeShaney v. Winnebago County as well & see if they agree with SCOTUS that repeated, institutionalized & documented indifference to the plight of the victim over a period of years still didn't meet the test that they had a duty to protect (remove the child from an abusive father). When a state abrogates the purview they want to exercise, it's all off. And then, baby, it's on.

Please share the story - the systemic incompetence on display for all who care to see in BLUE Broward County, Florida, is just how progressive Statists roll.

Leftist policy tends to poison the segment of society it touches.

A Parkland Father’s Quest for Accountability
‘I blame the murderer for 50% of what happened,’ Andrew Pollack says. ‘There were so many people who didn’t care, who didn’t do their job.’


WSJ
By Tunku Varadarajan
Jan. 11, 2019 6:30 p.m. ET
Lake Wales, Fla.

In a campground near Lake Kissimmee, Andrew Pollack and I sit in the shadow of a white RV, his spartan home. He broods by my side in cargo shorts and a T-shirt. He’s just sold his large house in Coral Springs, Fla., because he feels “physically sick to be in Broward County,” where his 18-year-old daughter was shot dead last Valentine’s Day at Marjory Stoneman Douglas School in Parkland. He’s lived in his RV for nearly three weeks with his wife and their Belgian puppy, who isn’t yet at ease with life in a mobile home. A campfire burns skittishly in the lakeside wind, its blaze nothing compared with Mr. Pollack’s burning rage.

A lean and rugged 52, he is a man of adamant words: He always says that his daughter, Meadow, was “murdered.” He scolds me—then swiftly apologizes—when I once say she “died.” I ask him about her name, and he tells me he and her mother (from whom Mr. Pollack is divorced) got it from “The Sopranos”: “I thought it was a pretty name. All my kids have unique names. Huck is my oldest, from Huck Finn. My other son’s called Hunter.”

There is a lull for a moment, as Mr. Pollack struggles to compose himself. He tells me he cannot bear to utter the name of Nikolas Cruz, the former student at Meadow’s school who is charged with killing 17 people—14 students and three adult staff members—in 11 minutes of unchecked carnage, making Parkland the worst high-school shooting in U.S. history. “I call him by his prison ID number,” Mr. Pollack says. “It’s 18-1958.”

In the 11 months since Meadow was murdered, Mr. Pollack has been transformed from an ordinary suburban dad and rental-market realtor to a vehement, in-your-face crusader for school safety. Days after the Parkland shooting, he met with President Trump at the White House. “We spoke for a while in the Oval Office,” Mr. Pollack says, “and that’s when I recommended to him that he should put together a commission on school safety.” In Mr. Pollack’s account, “the president then points his finger at Hope Hicks”—then White House communications director—“and he says, ‘I like that. I want to do that.’ ” Mr. Pollack returned to the White House when the commission’s report was presented 10 months later, sitting at a table to the president’s right. He has co-written a book, “Why Meadow Died: The People and Policies That Created the Parkland Shooter and Endangered America’s Students,” to be published next month.

He doesn’t like to be called a “crusader” and says “I’m not a politician.” Yet Mr. Pollack is now a player in Florida’s politics. The day before we met at his RV, then-Gov. Rick Scott appointed him to the State Board of Education. He says he’ll use his position on the seven-member board to ensure “accountability,” a word he uses frequently. His objective, he says, is to hold to account “every individual, every institution, every policy” that led to his daughter’s death.

“I blame the murderer for 50% of what happened,” Mr. Pollack says. “I don’t blame him for the whole thing. Because there were just so many people who didn’t care, who didn’t do their job, that I blame them for the other 50%. And I need to expose them. That’s how I bounce back.” He pauses and corrects himself: “No, I don’t bounce back. I’ll never do that. I can’t even smile in photographs anymore, can’t show my teeth.” He thinks “day in, and day out” about accountability “for these people, because of whom I can’t walk my daughter down the aisle.”

Mr. Pollack believes that “political correctness killed Meadow.” A prominent villain in his narrative is Robert Runcie, who came to Broward from Chicago in 2011 as the superintendent of the county’s public schools. Mr. Runcie introduced a program called Promise—a feel-good acronym for Preventing Recidivism through Opportunities, Mentoring, Interventions, Support and Education—under which students who commit crimes in public schools would no longer be reported to the police by administrators. Under Promise, students would be evaluated and dealt with exclusively within the schools and their associated reform programs. Even felonies as severe as drug dealing, sexual assault and bringing weapons to school could lawfully be kept from the police.

Mr. Runcie “saw that minority students were being referred to the police at higher rates than whites,” as Mr. Pollack tells it. “Rather than recognize that misbehavior can be the result of many complex problems outside school, or at home,” the superintendent concluded the disparity was because “teachers and schools were racist.” With no reporting, “now there’s no crime. The school’s data looks great. Problem solved.”

But a much worse problem was created: “No student has a criminal background as a result, so once you graduate from school and want to buy a gun, background checks are useless.”

Mr. Runcie and his supporters called their policy “discipline reform.” Violent students had to attend “healing circles,” among other sorts of in-house, nonjudicial remedies. The result, says Mr. Pollack—so agitated that he almost shouts—is that “mentally disturbed students, violent psychopaths like 18-1958, are right there in the classroom with normal students like my daughter, and with teachers who don’t know how to deal with them, since they can’t bring in the cops.” As Mr. Pollack writes in his forthcoming book: “His entire life, 18-1958 was practically screaming, ‘If you ignore me, I could become a mass murderer.’ ” Parkland, he says, “was the most avoidable mass shooting in American history. 18-1958 was never going to be a model citizen, but it truly took a village to raise him into a school shooter.”

Mr. Pollack describes the Broward County School District as “Ground Zero for a horrible approach to school safety that spread across America.” In January 2014, the Obama administration issued guidelines to the nation’s school boards, directing them to adopt Promise-like policies or risk a federal investigation and loss of funding. The report of the Trump school-safety commission, published Dec. 18, recommends abolishing such programs. “School boards won’t be hounded anymore to put these policies in place,” Mr. Pollack says. “But there’s nothing to stop a board from choosing to adopt Promise.” And Broward County has not abandoned it.

Mr. Pollack gives a detailed, impassioned account of the shooter’s behavior at school, every instance of which was reported to administrators and not to police. In middle school, the combustible adolescent was required to have adult supervision at all times. In high school, he vandalized a bathroom, causing more than $1,000 of damage. He racially abused black students and had fistfights with them. He carved swastikas on his desk. He hurled furniture across classrooms. He threw hard objects at other students, sometimes injuring them. He brought dead animals to school and often waved them before other students. He threatened to kill teachers and other students, and to shoot up the school. He wrote “KILL” in his notebooks and spoke frequently about guns. He brought knives to school and, on one occasion, a backpack full of bullets.

“After that,” says Mr. Pollack, “the school banned him from bringing a backpack to school. But I ask you, if he’s too dangerous to wear a backpack, why isn’t he too dangerous to be in class with kids like my daughter?”

Continued from WSJ article above.


The political correctness that is anathema to Mr. Pollack appears to have infected Broward County law enforcement as well. Sheriff Scott Israel was on a drive to reduce juvenile arrests, and the department allowed Cruz to keep a clean record even though deputies were called to his home 45 times in his middle- and high-school years. On one of these occasions, “he’d punched his mother so hard in the mouth that she’d needed to get a new set of teeth,” Mr. Pollack says. “Sheriff Israel judged his success by how many kids he kept out of jail. When officers never arrested 18-1958 despite 45 calls, they were following Israel’s policy.” On Friday the new governor, Ron DeSantis, suspended Mr. Israel from office. Mr. Pollack and two other Parkland parents stood alongside Mr. DeSantis as he made the announcement in Fort Lauderdale.

Cruz’s mother, who died three months before the shooting, was encouraged by Henderson Behavioral Health, Broward’s largest mental-health provider, to let her son “earn” a pellet gun for good behavior in 2014—which he proceeded to use to shoot at the neighbors’ pets and children. Henderson refused repeatedly to institutionalize Cruz, even as his mother pleaded with them to do so. In the week of his 18th birthday, Mr. Pollack tells me, she called them desperately, but their response to her pleas was that Cruz should be engaged “in coping skills such as reading magazines, watching TV, fishing and spending time with pets,” according to the health center’s own records.

Mr. Pollack has sued Henderson for wrongful death—“for their negligent approach to this murderer, for failing to deal with this psychopath.” In a statement last May, Henderson said it had no involvement with Cruz after 2016 and that the shooting “was not a tragedy that could have been lawfully prevented by Henderson.”

Mr. Pollack has also sued Scott Peterson, the armed deputy who was on the school’s premises the day of the massacre but chose to remain outside the building. Mr. Peterson has since resigned from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. But “he’s got his pension,” Mr. Pollock says, “$100,000 a year. This man—this coward. He retreats behind a pillar for 45 minutes. If he’d just gone in to the second floor—the shooter had just walked across there—he could have had a clear shot.” Mr. Pollack cites Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics to tell me that “shooters either give up or kill themselves if confronted with a weapon. They go into a gun-free zone thinking no one’s going to shoot back at them.”

Even though other deputies arrived within minutes—and didn’t go into the school either—Mr. Pollack is focused on Mr. Peterson, whom he sees as an embodiment of the forces that failed his daughter. Mr. Peterson’s lawyers moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the deputy didn’t have a duty to enter the school building. To which, Mr. Pollack tells me, the judge replied: “This is your defense? You’re telling me that this deputy didn’t have the duty to go in and save those kids?” The judge allowed the suit to go forward.

Punishment is not Mr. Pollack’s only objective, he says. The lawsuits allow him to “subpoena people throughout the whole district, school administrators, other deputies, policemen from the department in Coral Springs that did the right thing and rushed the building.” That, he expects, will “expose the incompetence in Broward County that goes right up to the sheriff.”

Mr. Pollack’s cause is righteous, but also lonely. “I feel a lot of times that it’s just my battle,” he says. “A lot of the other parents aren’t as focused on exposing these people as I am. To me, I have to do it for my daughter. And I’m not going to rest until I get accountability in the courtroom.” Nothing, it is clear, can fill the aching void in his life. He tells me that he stopped praying after Meadow was murdered. “I can’t,” he says. “I just can’t. At night, I used to thank God for my life. It’s tough for me to do that now. How could I? How would I? I’ll never have Meadow back.”

Thanks for sharing that. Too many take-aways not to share it further.

Well, the Sheriff is gone now thanks to the new Governor. Let’s hope he takes up the challenge to fight it and actually gets “fired” and loses his pension.

The only way things improve in the future is for the parents of these kids to sue the school boards and local ‘leadership’ into persons financial bankruptcy.

When you assume the responsibility to protect others from peril and deny the Constitutional rights of the people to protect themselves and others, you also assume the risk and jeopardy of that failure when something happens.
