[Gateway Pundit] The FBI has confirmed that the 14-year-old Apalachee High School shooter, Colt Gray, a student at the Georgia school, was known to the agency as early as May 2023 after receiving "several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time."

This comes after we learned that an unidentified individual also warned the high school via phone that it would be the first of five schools targeted with violence prior to the shooting on Wednesday.

Gray denied making the threats in an interview with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Per FBI Atlanta, "Jackson County alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject," but no additional action was taken.

#5   Now the shrink(s) who mishandled the Covenant murderess had plenty of info that she was batshit crazy and didn't do anything constructive about it.

Most states still forbid both professionals and relatives from forcing mental health treatment on anyone aged eighteen or over beyond a three-day hospital stay for evaluation. And even a three-day stay for evaluation generally can’t be forced on an 18+ adult unless the judge agrees the person is an imminent danger to self or others, where imminent danger requires being in the process at that moment of physically attempting murder or suicide.

It is not a crime to be crazy. It is a crime to force them to become sane. Three cheers for the post-One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest era — welcome to Heinlein’s Crazy Years. They look pretty much as predicted, except that we never did get a worldwide single government.

#4  Lets be honest here. How do you predict which loudmouth fool will actually become a danger? If the Feebs had jumped on this kid in 2023, half of us would be on their case for prosecuting "thought" crimes because back then that's all it was. Now the shrink(s) who mishandled the Covenant murderess had plenty of info that she was batshit crazy and didn't do anything constructive about it. Maybe instead of the Feebs, the APA should be getting the butt-kicking.

Why is it the DC Swamp Enforcers always seem to have problems during the run-up to Mid-Terms and National Elections?
