Trump Hits Parkland Fla Community for Killer's Massacre

linked to the alleged Parkland, Florida killer, Nikolas Cruz.
reported by ADL today.

Trump singled out neighbors and classmates of the alleged perpetrator of the Parkland, Florida massacre in a bizarre Twitter communication today.

"President Donald Trump on Thursday responded to the massacre at a South Florida high school by suggesting students and the surrounding community could have done more to prevent the attack," reports the Huffington Post.

So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!

Meanwhile, Nikolas Cruz has been linked to white supremacist organizations by the ADL, (Newsweek, Slate).

Trump is now in the awkward political position of reacting to the Florida massacre after first communicating in a manner repelling much of the country, and then having to be careful not to insult his base, white supremacists and the NRA.

From the ADL:

A spokesperson for the white supremacist group Republic of Florida (ROF) told the Anti-Defamation League on Thursday, February 15, that Nikolas Cruz, the man charged with the previous day’s deadly shooting spree at a Parkland, Florida, high school, was associated with his group.

On Wednesday, February 14, Cruz, 19, a former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, allegedly entered the school with an AR-15 and opened fire, killing at least 17 people and injuring 14 more. Cruz left the scene but was later captured by police and has been charged with premeditated murder.

After  self-described ROF members claimed on the discussion forum 4chan that Cruz had also been a member, the Anti-Defamation League called the ROF hotline and spoke with an ROF member who identified himself as Jordan Jereb.
