The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (II): Nikolas de Jesus Cruz, an expelled Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas government-run public High School, in Parkland, florida, returns to the “gun-free zone” with a .223 caliber semi-automatic rifle, to murder 17 United states subject/enemy/citizens, including 14 students.

       NOTES:

• The Federal Bureau of Investigation had been warned that Cruz had posted a video in his own name, on YouTube, claiming that “I’m going to be a professional school shooter,” but did nothing.
• Scot Peterson, a Broward County statute enforcement officer assigned to MSD High School, hid behind the safety of a vehicle rather than confront Cruz.
• A “gun-free zone,” is a statutorily mandated area where there will not be enough people carrying guns to neutralize the efforts of a deranged person on a homicidal rampage.
