More failure at Parkland high school

MORE failure at Parkland high school. Turns out, just two months before the shooting incident a retired Secret Service officer/security consultant met with school officials, told them their security was crap, and told them how to fix it. But they did nothing.

    • This is the first we have heard of this dipwad, I'll wait until we see more before I comment.

  • Why did they hire this guy and do nothing? The Administration, principal and county sheriff need to be fired. Their stupidity caused this, their elitist mentality and Obama ass kissing caused this. Why do these people still have jobs?

    Instead we get baby Hogg and his non-stop democratic talking points and insane bullshit. That's just as bad as the shooting.

    • Exactly. Why hire a consultant and ignore his advice? Same thing happened to me once. My government employer hired a consultant to analyze salaries and make recommendations. For $100,000 he spent a month asking questions and finally advised the elected board that I was doing more work than anybody else and getting paid half as much and they should double my salary immediately. The board ignored him and did their usual 5% across the board raise. I have always had a firm principle of not complaining about my salary, on the grounds that an employee should seek employment elsewhere rather than complain. It's a free country. But if you ASK me I will ANSWER. The board at my annual review made a mistake and ASKED me what I thought of my salary. I was out of my seat and halfway out the door when they asked. I turned around and sat back down and let them have it for fifteen minutes. I called into question their basic IQs, demeaned their integrity, ridiculed their judgment, and ended by saying they could have given me half what they paid the consultant as a bonus, avoided the farce, saved money, and made me happy. Then I left to silence except from one board member who was softly clapping. Couple months later I left for a higher paying job.

  • Guddamn! First the Feebles drop the ball, the local cops drop the ball and now we hear about an expert security consultant advising the school and they dropped the ball too? Bunch of screwed up, useless individuals not doing their jobs in Broward Country. Like doing what it takes to protect the kids in their schools.

  • The problem was that if the school officials had followed the former agent's suggestions they would have been admitting they were doing something wrong, and Progressives never do that.
