If the Americans cannot get rid of their guns and gun culture, at least they can compensate for it by instituting and strengthening the culture of nonviolence as taught by Jesus and Martin Luther King Jr. They can create a certain day for nonviolence wherein no animals are killed or butchered for meat, vegetarianism is promoted and capital punishment is avoided. In these creative ways, they can foster a culture of nonviolence at the grassroot levels wherein sensitivity and respect for the sacredness of life can be created in the hearts of people.

Four sheriff’s deputies hid during Florida school shooting By Ruth Brown February 23, 2018 Four armed officers and years of warnings did nothing to stop Nikolas Cruz from massacring 17 people at a high school. Not one but four sheriff’s deputies hid behind cars instead of storming Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in Parkland, Fla., during Wednesday’s school shooting, police claimed Friday — as newly released records revealed the Broward County Sheriff’s Office had received at least 18 calls about the troubled teen over the past decade. Sources from Coral Springs, Fla., Police Department tell CNN that when its officers arrived on the scene Wednesday, they were shocked to find three Broward County Sheriff’s deputies behind their cars with weapons drawn. The school’s armed resource officer, Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson, was also outside. He resigned on Thursday after his failure to act was publicly revealed. nypost.com/2018/02/23/four-sheriffs-deputies-hid-during-florida-school-shooting/amp/

I also read somewhere that the kids were told there will be a second drill that day with police. And a female teacher described a man in armor like swat doing the shooting and hit her with a bullet. Plus the police waiting outside until it's over just makes me think they set it up!

If you look at the news then it becomes clear that shooting in the US has not been canceled!

Link it to Sandy Hook massacre, Las Vegas shooting, the government pushes for gun-control policy, in a terrorist way.

Plus the police waiting outside until it's over just makes me think they set it up! This. This it's what's wrong with having a sensible debate on important issues. Misinformation runs rampant. There is no critical thought behind news absorption. People like to believe there is order amidst chaos. It is human nature to want to believe that this was the planned objective of some faceless entity like the government. That is preferable to the very real and devastatingly simple truth: mankind has the capacity for evil. From a logical standpoint, we all know this is true. We've read about Ted Bundy, been lectured on the Holocaust, watched movies like the Zodiac Killer, seen news articles day in and day out displaying the worst of human nature. Yet, emotionally, it's hard. It's hard to look at another human face and see the capacity of evil. It's hard to acknowledge that that person is the same species as you. As your family. As your friends. As your neighbors. To acknowledge that capacity for evil is a human trait means that any stranger on the street, every acquaintance, coworker, friend...even, yourself...all have that capacity. It is to imagine the horror that maybe one day he was no different from you in his disgust with acts of violence. It is to imagine that the capacity lies dormant within you and there may be some trigger you have no control over that will lead you down the same path. This is why it's easy to prove a plea of insanity. We want to believe that to kill in cold blood is not something a normal human brain is capable of. We want to accredit the darkness of the world to non-human faces. To demons, to conspiracies, to illnesses, to corporations, to governments, to masked terrorist organizations. No. The Parkland shooting was the act of one man. Yes, there were failures by law enforcement. Yes, those deputies armed with handguns were afraid. They were not war machines. Their calling may be to serve and protect and they failed. But they were just human. Human men armed with handguns set to face an unknown entity carrying an AR-15 inside a school full of civilians that looked no different from the shooter. Should they have gone in? Yes. Would I have? I'd like to think so, but, no, probably not. Better to lose my career than my life. Sure, call me a coward. Call them a coward. But, I'll tell you what, you're not getting ex-special forces to stand outside schools. Hell, you're not even getting well-seasoned cops. Not every cop has lived the life of an action hero. anyways, /rant

But there was an eyewitness (a teacher) who said she was walking next to him and talking to him in the hallway as she was hearing gunshots. Plus another teacher said she saw the shooter and he was in full armor and shot her arm. She said she was thinking, "What is the police doing here?" when she saw the shooter. Plus several police officers waited outside the school and didn't go in to stop him. So odd. Why? Why did they just stand there and let him shoot?

I tried googling and cannot find anything with any victims claiming to have been shot by police.

But there's this link too. www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-26/questions-emerge-over-florida-shooters-full-metal-garb

So, one witness account from one teacher going through likely the most traumatic event in her life. She even starts by saying she was in auto-pilot mode during all of this. Likely, she was disassociating. I wouldn't be surprised if she said he was 7 feet tall and had fire for eyes. If the police were shooting students, it'd mean that many more students and teachers were also in on it.
And, that site is an anonymous news blog. No reputable news source is claiming the police or government were behind this. You can believe that's because of some conspiracy or you can believe that it's because that's an idiotic notion put forth by people like Alex Jones to sell magic jelly beans or whatever it is they sell at infowars.

No students claimed multiple shooters too. There are videos of them saying so as well. But yeah like I said I hope was just that one dude.
