Last fall, a Mississippi bail bondsman and frequent YouTube vlogger noticed an alarming comment left on one of his videos. "I'm going to be a professional school shooter," said a user named Nikolas Cruz. The YouTuber, 36-year-old Ben Bennight, alerted the FBI, emailing a screenshot of the comment and calling the bureau's Mississippi field office. He also flagged the comment to YouTube, which removed it from the video.Dear "Very Special Agent" Lasky, let me see if I understand you... Nikolas Cruz didn't actually leave you his address and phone number... so you gave up?
"No other information was included in the comment, which would indicate a time, location, or true identity of the person who made the comment," special agent Robert Lasky told reporters. "The FBI conducted database reviews, checks, but was unable to further identify the person who made the comment."
From the self-same people who didn't stop Mohammed Atta either.

UPDATE: Gun control, my arse...
...this was totally preventable...
Before Nikolas Cruz carried out his mass killing at a Florida high school this week, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office responded to his home 39 times over a seven-year period, according to disturbing new documents. The nature of the emergencies at his Parkland home included “mentally ill person,” “child/elderly abuse,” “domestic disturbance” and “missing person,” KTLA reported.How about a little criminal/lunatic control?
