That's the thing. While I agree with
Sam's post you quoted, what are we supposed to do? You can't limit someone's freedom because they're different.
No. but you can deal with them in the normal manner. EVERYONE around Nikolas Cruz turned the other way. They ignored a problem hoping it would just go away.
You know, when I was growing up, we had a rule for when the dog took a dump in the house - whoever sees it first has to deal with it.
We were all about 10-12 years old. WHAT do you think typically happened, when the dog did it? Yep. NO ONE SAW IT. It was almost a comedy
routine where we all acted as though we didn't know it was there even when it stunk and was right in the middle of the family room where we were
watching TV. I tell a usually hysterical anecdote at home with family and friends about the time my little brother slid across the room backwards on his back - fully aware IT was there - but grossly misjudging exactly WHERE it was.
Besides the link I provided, I've read a bit about him. From that I have to conclude this was a COMPLETELY avoidable tragedy, at least the way it unfolded. Undoubtedly he might have done his atrocities elsewhere, but he should NEVER HAVE BEEN at that school. Everyone ignored what was right there, because it was easier.
