It takes at least a few drinks to place the blame for Parkland on Obama.
Are you somehow unaware that it was Obama in conjunction with Holder who wanted to end the "school-to-prison pipeline" by keeping teen criminals out of the justice system so they would maintain a clean criminal record to preserve their 'future opportunities?'
From Obama's DOJ:
Quote:
"One of the goals of present-day school-based law enforcement should be to keep students out of the justice system. Involvement in the juvenile justice system can negatively impact a child’s life trajectory, hindering educational success, and raising the risk of adult criminal behavior."
That actually IS the stated goal. "Keep students out of the justice system." Don't arrest, charge, or convict teen criminals. Keep their criminal records clean, so their future opportunities aren't hindered.
No criminal record = able to pass a background check = able to buy a gun
The result? 17 innocent people died, most of them kids.

YAWN...
You've been repeating yourself for days with this psychotic insistence that it's Obama's fault.
It's as loony as claiming that Bush was responsible for killing Bin Laden 7 years ago.
Yet, there were LOTS of rwnjs claiming exactly that at the time.
The level of delusion required to hold and spew such stark raving mad views suggest hatred that's way out of bounds.
FWIW: The injured kid (still hospitalized, I believe) and his family suing the school and the sheriff's office for not keeping him safe at school is on the right track. Minors in school are the school's responsibility while in attendance: "in loco parentis." The fact that the school and the sheriff's office had implemented the Obama/Holder policy to keep teen criminals out of the justice system, and therefore having no criminal record despite committing criminal activities, placed all of the school's students at unnecessary, unacceptable, and ultimately gravely injurious and/or deadly risk, as Cruz's clean criminal record enabled him to pass a background check and buy a gun.
I don't have school-age kids anymore. They're grown; no kids of their own. But if I had kids or grandkids, I would question their school to see if they have implemented a similar plan as Broward's in which student criminals are deliberately kept out of the justice system to keep their criminal records clean.
Think very carefully about what we now know are the horrendous consequences...
Ask yourself... Would you send your kid/grandkid to Parkland, knowing that they protect student criminals and deliberately keep them out of the justice system, enabling a Cruz-like massacre to happen? Or would you rather send your kid/grandkid to a school that reports crimes to the police as they are committed and let the perps be charged with such and suffer the consequences which includes failing a background check to buy a gun?
Every parent/grandparent in the US should be asking themselves the same questions.

OK...
"Self, would I send my grandkids to Parkland?"
Ans: Nope. None of them are within 1000 miles.
And none of them would try to blame Obama, either.
I agree, to a point, that ruining a person's life over some stupid teenaged behavior is to be avoided. My district of 45,000 students has 50 cops and their own jail with 8 cells. Kids get locked up for all kinds of infractions. The ball team had to have their picture made. The only color shirt they all had was red. So they wore red shirts for their group picture. The cops ran them all in for being a gang. Took days to unflush that mistake.
Heck, even I did some stuff that would be criminal. Like running a toilet up the flagpole at the rival school.
This kid was not a regular, sometimes oppositional kid. His serious problems could not be resolved by any thing a school could do. He was troubled from birth. Looks to me like all who had any contact with him dropped the ball through ignorance or neglect. Now 17 are dead, more wounded and that town is changed forever.
Before I tried to lay this off on a former POTUS and some program I did not fully understand, I'd be looking at all relatives, social workers, neighbors, administrators and cops starting from the time he was born. Betcha the clues were everywhere.
