    I bet the media will never touch this. The NAACP brokered a deal with the county and school district to prevent students from being arrested and convicted. This prevented the shooter from having a criminal record and being stopped from buying a firearm. They would rather take our guns away than tell the truth.

    he NAACP has brokered a groundbreaking collaborative agreement on school discipline with Broward County Public Schools, law enforcement and its community partners. The agreement will serve as a model for school districts nationwide that aim to end the school to prison pipeline wreaking havoc in communities of color.

    The collaborative agreement establishes proven alternatives to arrest for misdemeanor infractions by students that include common sense approaches such as counseling and mentorship. The historic agreement leverages the support of Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) and local law enforcement by reducing student suspensions, expulsions and arrests, while maintaining safe learning environments for students.

    The agreement highlights the role of school officials in determining when student infractions warrant an arrest versus school disciplinary measures, particularly for minor misbehavior/offenses. The collaborative agreement is part of the national movement to end the schoolhouse to jailhouse pipeline.

    Chairman of the NAACP National Board of Directors Roslyn M. Brock praised the new agreement:

    This comprehensive agreement changes the future of education in Broward County and sets the stage for a revolution nationwide. I commend our Florida leaders for bringing all of the parties together to shutdown the school to prison pipeline.

    From Adora Obi Nweze, President of the NAACP Florida State Conference:

    We now have the foundation to save a generation of youth of color from the criminal justice system. This would not be possible without the leadership of our Ft Lauderdale/ Broward Branch.

    From Hilary O. Shelton, NAACP Washington Bureau Director and Sr. VP of Policy and Advocacy:

    I applaud the efforts of NAACP Broward County President Marsha Ellison, School Superintendent Robert Runcie, Broward County law enforcement and all of the community partners involved in this effort for taking a stand against overly severe disciplinary policies the criminalize students for behavioral issues normally addressed by a school administrator. Arrests do not make schools safer. This agreement to embrace alternatives to police intervention will be the prototype for ending the school to prison pipeline in every Florida school district and school districts across the nation.

    From Dr. Niaz Kasravi, Criminal Justice Director for the NAACP:

    Too often, too many children in this country unnecessarily lose learning time and, too often, get criminalized for routine adolescent misbehavior. Today’s groundbreaking collaborative agreement will go a long way in putting a stop to the destructive pipeline that funnels children from school into prison and alters the trajectory of their lives forever. The NAACP hopes law enforcement and educators nationwide will work with their communities to adopt similar measures.

    From Evans Moore, Interim Education Director for the NAACP:

    Broward County Public Schools should be hailed as a leader for ending its zero tolerance disciplinary policy that has become too common over the past two decades in school districts across the country. Those policies have failed to improve the disciplinary climate and culture of schools. Today’s historic collaborative agreement sends a message to school districts across the country that Broward County Public Schools want to see its students, particularly those of color, thrive.

    From Kevin Myles, Southeast Regional Director for the NAACP:

    The NAACP, Broward Country Public Schools and all of the community partners involved in this groundbreaking agreement have taken important steps to end the overly harsh school disciplinary policies that lands students in the criminal justice system. Starting today, Broward County students will achieve higher heights as we close the school to prison pipeline.

    I haven't been following the Florida threads very closely.

    What crime had been committed which should have prevented the purchase of a firearm?

    Yeah, since we already all agree I'm an ass anyway, that first paragraph made me snort:

    http://www.naacp.org/naacp-board-of-directors/adora-obi-nweze/

    She was the "The former Johnnie Raye McMillian"

    I read the entire thing and yes it was comical, all I saw was someone who rode the Affirmative Action Train all their life and every award she go was for being black. I have hired a LOT of people over my several careers spanning over 50 years and I have learned to read resumes and her would not get her a job as a cleaning lady...

    Poor ole Johnny Raye... (there, now you've got that song stuck in your head for the rest of the day)

    Every paragraph was a punch line, I seriously had to make double check it wasn't a satire site.

    I ask again.

    What did he do that would have prevented him from purchasing a firearm? How did this policy prevent it from being reported?

    We know the police came 39 times in 7 years to his house. His records of offenses as a juvenile are not available. But supposedly he was guilty of domestic abuse, stealing mail, animal abuse and throwing rocks at cars for starters. Stealing mail is a felony.
    He should have been in jail.

    Well it's second hand information, but my understanding is that he had several instagram posts regarding his killing of animals that I gather to not be hunting related, and pursuant to Florida law, that can be considered a felony.

    (2) A person who intentionally commits an act to any animal, or a person who owns or has the custody or control of any animal and fails to act, which results in the cruel death, or excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering, or causes the same to be done, commits aggravated animal cruelty, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.

    What do those events have to do with school discipline?

    I'm fine with pointing out issues, but on the surface this doesn't seem to cover the issues listed as they appear to have taken place at home or outside of school.

    I also prefer school kids not getting criminal records for general stupidity, 95% of which is part of being a boy. You will never throw abbey for the crazies that wound end up screwing over a very large number of typical male adolescents. Likely more typical adolescents would be caught up in the mess than those who need to be caught.

    How many you men should lose their rights before they are mature enough to know what they mean?

    "The collaborative agreement establishes proven alternatives to arrest for misdemeanor infractions by students that include common sense approaches such as counseling and mentorship."

    I didn't read that as the crime having to be committed at school. I read it as a student committing a crime...period. So I felt overlooking multiple acts of criminal behavior still relevant to the OP.

    And I think having the cops called on you say 1-2 times a year for seven years in a row, is probably sufficient to suggest you've got some serious enough issues to mandate court ordered institutionalization, whether it's incarceration or court ordered mental treatment. By the time you hit 39 times, you've made public threats, you've publicly displayed criminal activity, etc. I'd say the bar is well surpassed. But that's just my opinion.
