From the Associated Press: The Florida sheriff who oversaw the response to the Parkland school shooting is fighting for his job in front of state lawmakers. Suspended Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel testified Tuesday during a state Senate hearing. Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Israel three days after taking office in January, saying the response to […]
The rolling, never-ending clown show/tragedy/farce that is the entire Parkland shooting and its aftermath took a couple of more turns this week. The good news is that the citizens of Broward County Will be safer due to the Florida Supreme Court’s decision regarding feckless, dangerously incompetent ex-sheriff and politicized hack, Scott Israel. At least for […]
“I’m a changed guy. They killed my daughter. I have to expose these people first before I can get any sort of peace in my life. And I’m doing it. One by one, I’m going to finish these people off.” Those are the words of Andrew Pollack, father of Meadow Pollack who was murdered at […]
Again, the only scandal bigger than how long it took to remove this feckless, self-impressed clown from his job is the number of lives that were lost as a result of his mismanagement and incompetence. From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: Gov. Ron DeSantis removed Broward Sheriff Scott Israel from office Friday, replacing him after 10 […]
It’s been evident since about two days after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that the clown show that was run by Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel’s band of incompetents not only failed in the run-up to the shooting but badly bungled the response, costing the lives of students and teachers in the […]
I’d like to preface this accounting of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High failures on Valentine’s Day 2018 with this reminder: no one is coming to save you; you are on your own. The South Florida Sun Sentinel has compiled a comprehensive and disturbing timeline of what happened — and didn’t happen — that day in Parkland. […]
Following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida and the revelations of multiple failures on various levels on the part of those in positions of responsibility that day and in the months before the incident, fifteen students filed a lawsuit against the school district and the Broward County Sheriff’s Department. Those […]
This actually took longer than we expected. “More than a dozen students who survived the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have filed a civil rights lawsuit alleging that numerous officials failed to stop the Valentine’s Day massacre at their school.” Gee, you mean all the people in charge, both leading up to […]
Armed At Church: Why This Congregation Is ‘Not A Gun-Free Zone’ Can we get an amen? When the parishioners at the Lighthouse Mexico Church Of God gather for worship each Sunday, many of them are armed. The fact that they carry is no secret. The church, located in the small, upstate town of Mexico, N.Y., […]
America’s Gun Violence Represents A Failure Of Leadership, Not Laws – Well duh . . . Everything that happened in Florida that led to the horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is a lesson in leadership, or the lack of it. And solutions that focus on laws instead of leadership are bound to fail. […]
Never let it be said that Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel doesn’t take swift and decisive action when events or individuals under his command challenge the illusion of the “amazing leadership” he paints of the bumbling incompetence that characterizes his department. A long-troubled student who was well-known to your department shoots up the local high […]
Proudly incompetent Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel has delayed, deflected and stonewalled ever since it became apparent that his deputies bungled the response to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre on Valentine’s Day. He made sure to wait until after the choreographed, circus-like CNN “town hall” to release the information that his school resource […]
