Parkland School Shooting Survivor: Don’t Blame Guns, Blame the ‘Cowards of Broward County’
by AWR HAWKINS25 Mar 2018

During the March 25 airing of Face the Nation, Parkland school shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv suggested people looking for something to blame ought to be pointing at the “cowards of Broward County” rather than guns.
Kashuv was referencing the Broward County Sheriff’s Office from which a deputy arrived on scene 90 seconds into the attack and waited outside the building while the gunman spent nearly five more minutes shooting innocents.

That deputy, Scot Peterson, can allegedly be seen on surveillance video arriving at building 12 only to remain outside while the sound of gunfire continued on the inside. Sheriff Scott Israel called out Peterson for not going into the building and Peterson resigned rather than face suspension.

But further reports were not kind to Israel either, and the behavior of deputies on scene were called into question as well.

None of this was lost on Kashuv, who bemoaned the fact that not one protester in the student march for gun control carried signs calling out Sheriff Israel.

He transitioned to the topic of Sheriff Israel while explaining why a ban on “assault weapons” and/or “high capacity magazines” would not end school shootings. He said:

That won’t solve the issue. What we’ve seen is that there are certain things such as having — enforcing the regulation that’s currently in law. I mean we’ve seen on so many different levels that the cowards of Broward (ph) failed, the FBI failed, Sheriff Scott Israel failed. So many different multi-layered levels failed in Parkland. And it’s absolutely reprehensible that I didn’t see one single poster yesterday at the march that said f the NRA that — no, sorry, that said f Sheriff Scott Israel.

He went on to point to armed individuals as part of the solution to school shootings. In making his case, he mentioned the good guy with a gun who shot at the Maryland school attacker on March 20, ushering in the end of the incident. He praised a newly passed law — signed on March 9 by Gov. Rick Scott (R) — which will allow certain Floridians to get training to carry guns on campus for school safety.

Kashuv said, “Something called the Marshal Program, which was registered and implemented in Florida and which would allow properly trained officers and veterans, and unemployment veterans, to acquire the training to protect our school because we’ve seen in Maryland that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

Host Margaret interrupted as Kashuv spoke, saying, “You want — you would have liked more armed guards at the school?”

Kashuv replied:

Absolutely. I mean we saw it in Maryland. He stopped the shooter. He did his job. And had the cowards of Broward done their job, I think that the count in Parkland would have been much lower. We saw that in Maryland that a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun. The only way to stop an active shooter on campus is to have another person to eliminate him.

Another of the lost stories about this tragedy. Sadly it will carry no weight with the folks who simply want to ban guns.

Gun banners are one of the groups who can’t see the forest for the trees, they seem to think that by outlawing guns will take care of the problem, they don’t understand that bad guys will find a way to get guns no matter the law, and if they can’t get a gun they will find other weapons (knives, baseball bats, vehicles, poison, etc.

Curious that those who want to ban guns are often the same people who want abortion on demand paid for by the government. This suggests that the goal is not about the killing of innocents. But perhaps the expansion of government power.:unsure:

Howdy,
I am curious as to who is paying for all those kids to miss school and travel all over the country for those marches and feces spewing speeches. I feel confident that those speeches are prepared by a liberal and read and repeated by the kids. Have a goodun!!!!!!!!!

On a side note to feed my paranoia, it seems that the 18 year olds are all registering to vote, when typically they don't care about politics till they are a bit older. It's like the Dems have a back up plan in case the illegals are all sent back.

To me it's kind of like having the crazy socialist pope in play, in case Hillary lost.

I see it all as a freeken chess game.

Out there I know, but ya never know.

My bet the person who has the most money in this would be our old friend George Soros. :hammer:

Probably through one of his organizations he funds, not directly, to obvious...

Here's the deal.

Our side has 8 trillion rounds of ammunition in this country currently and growing.

Their side cannot even decide which bathroom to use.

Who's gonna win?

Your round count is a little low. I’ve got that much myself! :yum:
