They did investigate and were unable to determine who it was. That's all we know. Presumably the kid was tech savvy enough to be behind a VPN and not easily identifiable.

Again, we have NO idea if there was something as there was NO investigation. They had many things to get the Tsarnaev
brothers on but did nothing there either.

They were gave more specific information than the Youtube complaint. They are owning up to that.

They admitted today that they messed up. They had two separate reports about him. The youtube one even gave the name of Nicholas Cruz.

I see that now. FBI, local authorities, and the school all apparently failed to act on tips.

Apparently a therapist even cleared him as "no threat to anyone or himself" in Sept 2016. So a mental health professional specifically screened him for such.

And here I thought US law enforcement needed probable cause before going fishing. The crime was against the people of Florida it wasn't federal

I don't buy that personally. I am guessing they simply didn't investigate very far.

But, there is a new report that they got a specific call from someone who knew Cruz and gave them much more detailed info. They apparently did not follow up on it.

FBI Director says they failed. Are you saying he's wrong and doesn't know what his agency's job is?

Ok, so you created the title now tell us which of these shootings the FBI knew about and didn't stop

That's interesting.

If the therapist was correct at that time, it gives some credence to the theory that his mother's death tipped him over the edge.
