One of the common factors in mass shootings is the tendency of the shooter to give off many “signals” prior to the shooting that he is a definite danger to society, and those signals are ignored, until people die. One blatant example of this happened in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where a man threatened several times to commit a mass shooting, and it was ignored by the “authorities. What makes this case so blatant is that the person making those threats is a COP! One of their detectives told another that, if he didn’t get the raise he wanted, there was “going to be a mass shooting at the police station.” They obviously thought it was just a joke, but if it was, it was in abysmal bad taste, and should have at least caused an intervention. It happened more than once, and was ignored both times. He was not “red flagged,” and was not arrested. Though he resigned—just before the chief could fire him. But he still owned guns—cops are able to know where to get them—and he could still commit a mass shooting in that police station. Yes, in some places, such things do get action. But the response is “spotty.” Some places take action, and others do not. The worst thing is that, even though he resigned from this department, he still is an “authorized” police officer who could be hired by another department. In one case, a mass shooter had been “in police trouble” 69 times before he shot up a school. (DC Dirty Laundry)
