BREAKING: Coward Scot Peterson arrested on multiple charges

Former Broward County Sheriff's deputy Scot Peterson, the coward who did nothing to protect the lives of the children at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the Parkland shooting in 2018, has been arrested on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges. The entire incident was a disgusting display of cowardice and incompetence.

After disgraced and incompetent Broward County Sheriff, Scott Israel, was removed from his command, the newly appointed Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony turned his focus to the internal investigation exploring the way in which seven deputies responded to the school shooting.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office released this statement:
Today, as a result of the continuing internal investigation and disciplinary process, Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony officially announced the termination of two deputies who were found to have neglected their duties. The two are former Deputy Scot Peterson and Sergeant Brian Miller. The deputy and sergeant were found to have neglected their duties at MSD High School. They have been terminated and will no longer be privileged to serve as law enforcement deputies for the Broward Sheriff’s Office. 
Subsequent to an administrative discipline hearing at BSO headquarters this afternoon, former Deputy Peterson was taken into custody on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges and booked into the BSO Main Jail.

Peterson was correctly labeled "a coward" by President Trump, and he was arrested by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) on "seven counts of neglect of a child and three counts of culpable negligence and one count of perjury," the FDLE said in a statement.

"If convicted, the 11 charges technically carry a maximum potential punishment of 96.5 years in state prison," the statement continued.

This has given some small sense of relief to some of the parents of the children who were killed.

This is a breaking story so check for updates.

Florida court rules against Israel

The Florida Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) had the right to suspend Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel (D) over his handling of two mass shootings and his total ineptness.

DeSantis suspended Israel after shootings at the Fort Lauderdale airport and Marjory Stoneman High School in Parkland, Fla. because he believes that Scott Israel doesn't have the capacity to be a dog catcher, much less an actual sheriff.

The Republican-held state Senate could also reinstate Israel. If it does not, he will have to run for the job again in 2020, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. And should he run and win back the position, the people who voted for him, deserve what they get.

“I hope and expect the Senate will look at the merits of the claim,” Israel’s lawyer Ben Kuehne told the newspaper. “If they do, and do not act politically, then Sheriff Israel will be reinstated.”

It's ironic that Kuehne talks about people acting politically--that's all the Scott Israel ever did on the job.

DeSantis said on Twitter that the court's decision reaffirmed his authority to suspend a poorly performing official, [not to mention the worst sheriff ever.]

"Today's @flcourts opinion leaves no doubt of my authority to suspend a government official for neglect of duty and incompetence," DeSantis tweeted. "Scott Israel failed to protect the families and students of Broward County and I look forward to the @FLSenate resuming the process of formal removal."

An independent commission found that the sheriff's office did not adequately change its policy following the Fort Lauderdale incident that left five people dead, which caused more fatalities in the Parkland shooting, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Last year, a gunman killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. In 2017, five were killed in a shooting at the airport, all while Sheriff Scott Israel was scratching his nether regions.

Stoneman Douglas commission: arm teachers, increase security spending

The state commission investigating the Parkland school shooting unanimously approved a final report on Wednesday that places the responsibility for reform on school districts, law enforcement agencies, state legislative leaders and Gov.-elect Ron DeSantis.

The comprehensive report, which is 458 pages long, by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission addresses the connections of screwups revealed in the wake of the shooting.

For example, the report includes fumbled tips, lax school security policies and the cowardly and unaggressive Broward sheriff's deputies who hung back in fear as shots were fired. 

The report will now go to Gov. Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis, Senate President Bill Galvano and House Speaker José Oliva.

There are dozens of recommendations in the report. Some would require action by the governor and Legislature, such as the proposals to allow some teachers to carry guns and increase spending on school security. It also calls for laws to be changed to allow school districts to raise taxes for security improvements and to require rather than simply permit mental health providers to notify law enforcement if a patient threatens anyone with harm. 

Many of the proposals were inspired by errors and weak spots that came to light after the Feb. 14 massacre of 17 people.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, chairman of the commission, said many recommendations could have been implemented a long time ago had school safety been treated with the importance it deserved, especially by school districts.

“There needs to be a sense of urgency,” he said. “And people need to understand that there’s an expectation and a rightful expectation on the part of parents: When you send your kids to school in the morning, there’s an expectation they’re going to come home alive in the afternoon and there are very basic things.

“There’s a money issue, I grant you that. And there’s challenges with money, but there’s a whole bunch of things that don’t cost anything and the Legislature, if these districts won’t do it, should mandate that they implement these things and that they implement them immediately.”

Galvano said the recommendations will be taken up Tuesday at a meeting of the Senate Education Committee. He said he would consider supporting many of the proposals, including the one to allow teachers to carry guns, which would be accomplished through expanding the school Guardian program.

Gualtieri spoke forcefully in favor of the commission’s proposal to arm teachers, noting that the shooter had paused five times to reload — providing opportunities to stop him.

“So what are we saying to people — we’re not going to allow you to defend yourself, we’re not going to allow you to defend the kids — why? Because of some ideology that we don’t like guns? Anyone who thinks they’re going to get rid of guns is crazy,” he said. “It isn’t going to happen. We’ve got to do something differently and people should be able to protect themselves.”

Broward School Board member Robin Bartleman said she doubts the board will support allowing teachers to carry guns but thought the board should revisit the issue.

“I am very concerned about arming teachers,” Bartleman said. “I think it’s a discussion we need to have with the community. I have not found many people in favor of this. The overwhelming response I get is people don’t want teachers with guns.” Fortunately for Bartleman, she didn't lose a child in the shooting. Had she lost a loved one, her opinion may have been different. The same holds true for all anti-gun advocates.

“Teachers went to school to teach,” Bartleman said. “That is their expertise. Law enforcement, their expertise is supposed to be to engage a threat. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen on 2/14, but I still think we should leave it in the hands of law enforcement.”

Yeah, how did that work out for you at the school?

Some teachers can walk and shoot at the same time. It is self-defense and the defense of the kids in the school that is the issue. There is something called "teaching" which can be done with guns and teachers. You can teach gun safety to them, and how to fire a handgun in an emergency.

It can save lives.


Well here we are in the start of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.

Broward County election official Snipes screws up her resignation

FLORIDA -- Broward County's supervisor of elections, Brenda Snipes, has"withdrawn her resignation" after Florida Gov. Rick Scott threatened to cut off her huge pension,  the Hill reports.

Snipes, one of the most incompetent election officials ever to receive a paycheck, and who presided over a totally embarrassing vote recount effort in Broward County following the 2018 midterm elections, told reporters on Saturday, through her attorney, that she refuses to be shamed by Scott and would not simply leave office quietly.

She definitely should not be shamed by Scott. She should be ashamed of her inability to do a job she was handsomely paid to do, and failed miserably.

"Dr. Snipes hereby rescinds her resignation,” attorney Burnadette Norris-Weeks told media. She added that the governor's efforts to remove the useless Snipes from office before January were nothing more than an attempt to "tarnish [Snipes’s] record.”

Snipes' record is tarnished every day she gets out of bed.

Snipes will be “fighting this to the very end,” Norris-Weeks warned. 

And if she fights this as well as she supervises elections procedures, she's in deep trouble.

Snipes officially resigned her position after the Broward Country vote recount was completed, and after days of screwups and missteps whereby Broward lagged far behind neighboring counties in handling ballot issues.

Her team, at one point, lost more than 2,000 ballots, with just hours remaining until the election results had to be certified. 

She would have remained in office until January, and would have been eligible for a $170,000 state pension, but elections got in her way.

Late last week Governor Rick Scott announced that Snipes needed to go, and he officially removed her from office, appointing a Republican supervisor of elections to take over immediately.

"Every eligible voter in Florida deserves their vote to be counted and should have confidence in Florida’s elections process," Scott said in a statement about his actions last week.

"After a series of inexcusable actions, it’s clear that there needs to be an immediate change in Broward County and taxpayers should no longer be burdened by paying a salary for a Supervisor of Elections who has already announced resignation,” the Governor added.

That turned out to be a bad deal for Snipes and she is refusing to leave office unless she is removed by the state of Florida. Her current term isn't scheduled to end until the 2020 election year.

In a separate statement at a press conference held Saturday, Snipes accused Scott of being "vindictive" -- in spite of the fact that Scott ultimately won the recount in Broward county and has nothing for which to be "vindictive." He will serve as Florida's junior Senator and has pledged to seek out transparency.

Snipes needs to go but I doubt she can even find the correct exit.

Brenda Snipes resigns!

She used the Race Card, now will she use the "I Want To Spend More Time With My Family Card?"

Brenda Snipes, the most incompetent election supervisor in the history of the United States, has resigned on Sunday. Her legend will live on however, and Broward County, Florida may cease being the most questionable county in the country regarding trust in election returns.

CNN claimed she is a Republican, but she clarified their "reporting" and claimed to be a lifelong Democrat.

Snipes came under a barrage of criticism for her obvious incompetence and possible corruption during the recount kerfuffles. Her response to her critics was to shrug her shoulders, make a face of exasperation, and pull out the left's trusty "Race Card."

Snipes submitted her resignation hours after Broward County submitted final, contentious tallies in Florida's governor and U.S. Senate elections, both of which were won by Republicans Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis, respectively.

According to the Florida Sun-Sentinel, it isn't clear when the actual resignation will take effect, but certainly she'll be toast before the 2020 presidential election.

Snipes pulls the race card

It was only a matter of time. Put a Democrat in an uncomfortable situation they can't wriggle out of without exposing their incompetence and they will reach into their pocket and pull out their worn-out race card.

Predictably, Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes, who is as competent in her job as Michael Avenatti is at his, is now claiming that the backlash over her total inability to handle the midterm election is "probably" due to racism. Seriously? Aren't Democrats getting tired of the nonsense they spout?

This is a person who didn't know what a canvasser's job is regarding elections. This is a person who destroyed election returns after only 12 months, when the law requires they be held for 22 months. This is a person who failed to get the recounting done in time.

I could go on, but it isn't worth the time. Google her and see for yourself.

Racism has nothing to do with her incompetence and she should realize that when she makes those kinds of stupid claims, it makes her sound divisive.

Snipes came under a lot of criticism over her mishandling of the Florida recount. She told The Guardian that she thinks protesters who camped outside the Broward recount center could be there out of hatred of her skin color.

Seriously? Don't you realize how stupid that sounds?

Under the "leadership" of Snipes, Broward embarrassingly missed the machine recount Thursday and on Saturday, had to stop its manual recount about an hour after it began because the volunteers were counting the wrong ballots.

I call her an incompetent because I'm not a racist. I do not hold lower expectations for her because she is not my skin color. I hold normal expectations for her because she is in a supervisory position that is extremely important and entails a ton of responsibility.

She has been duly elected by the voters for her position, but she is not doing a good job. If she was doing a good job, we wouldn't be talking about the uncounted votes more than a week after the elections.

I hate that people use the race card to exonerate themselves from responsibility. Snipes should be better than that.

Snipes should resign.

Broward counts wrong ballots as cluster-funk continues

Fort Lauderdale, FL -- First they bungled the machine recount, now in Broward County's second day of manual recounting they vote counters had to stop about an hour into the start on Saturday when lawyers from both parties pointed out that volunteers had been counting the wrong ballots.

You simply cannot make this stuff up.

Hundreds of unpaid, unskilled, volunteers spent Friday going through 32,000 over-votes and undervotes in the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Bill "My- Face-Died-Last-Year" Nelson, and Republican Gov. Rick Scott.

On Friday night, Broward officials announced they had completed their manual recount.

Then on Saturday, volunteers began sorting about 22,000 undervotes and over-votes in the hotly run contest for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture.

But that came to a screeching halt when lawyers discovered thousands of overlapping ballots which clearly showed a vote in the agricultural race but were unclear in the Senate race. [Unclear, fuzzy ballots, are generally considered to be votes for Democrats, according to Democrats.]

"It appears there may have been some ballots from yesterday mixed in with the ones for today," Broward Canvassing Board Judge Deborah Carpenter-Toye told the media.

Mixed in from the Senate recount were forty-seven manila envelopes with envelopes distributed for the commissioner election.

According to Broward County Canvassing Board Attorney Rene Harrod, the mistake was caught in time and none of the 47 ballots made it to the canvassing board. Had this not been caught, it would be very possible that some votes would be counted twice.

Republican attorney Joseph Goldstein said the recount must be stopped but the canvassing board decided to continue the count and instructed the unskilled, unpaid, and poorly motivated volunteers to flag any incorrect ballots from Saturday's count.

This all comes as the state flounders around trying to complete its mandatory manual recount in the U.S. Senate race by noon Sunday. Florida, particularly Broward County, has been under heavy scrutiny since the recounts were ordered last Saturday. But this is what you get when you have an idiot in the position of Election Supervisor for Broward County.

Speaking of the Election Supervisor, Brenda Snipes, she bragged about making the state's deadline for machine results, something that's actually part of her job and nothing to brag about. It's like a Parking Meter Enforcement Agent bragging about ticketing a car for an expired meter.

"We are excited to be at this point," Snipes said Thursday.
The election brain trust
Then a mere few hours later, election officials had to admit the county had uploaded the results past the deadline by two minutes [after the 3 p.m. cutoff]. So the machine recount tally was void. It's possible this was done intentionally by Snipes since it was clear that Scott was kicking butt in the results.

So Broward's results from Election Night stands until manual recount totals come in by Sunday at noon.

Hillsborough County intentionally refused to report its tally, which would have awarded Scott about 150 votes, because the recount turned up 846 fewer votes than the county's initial tally, proving once again, that elections in Florida are about as accurate as Stevie Wonder's skeet shooting.

Palm Beach election supervisor Susan Bucher said the county found "dozens of precincts missing a significant number" of votes during the machine recount and said there were entire boxes of ballots that weren't counted.
Bill Nelson
Bucher also blamed the problems on mechanical errors and said the scanning machines overheated. She flew in two technicians to fix the problem but they witnessed Palm Beach County workers jam a paper clip into the scanner's "enter" button to slow the high-speed scanner down. This caused a short-circuit that cut off the power, according to The New York Times.

And you wonder why we don't trust Democrats?

As it stands, Bill Nelson is finished as a mediocre senator and Rick Scott will now take his seat. Ron DeSantis will be governor and Andrew Gillum will remain a leftist sore loser.

Parkland deputy Scot Peterson afraid to show for investigative panel

First the Broward County Parkland deputy, Scot Peterson, was afraid to enter the school as kids were systematically being slaughtered by a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in February. Now he is afraid to testify before a public safety commission investigating the massacre.

One question Peterson, 55, would have been asked if he had the courage to attend the investigation is why didn't he enter the Parkland, Florida school building where 17 people were being killed, one of the largest mass shootings in modern U.S. history, as he waited outside pissing on his shoes.

In his place, the school resource officer's lawyer, Joseph DiRuzzo, appeared before the commission. He told them that he filed a lawsuit to stop the 14-member panel's subpoena.

The commission, which meets this week to discuss the Valentine's Day shooting, criticized the frightened deputy on Wednesday, as they believed had he had not been busy being frozen in fear and entered the building immediately, he could have prevented at least six deaths.

"He was a cop in name only," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. "If he had been a real cop, he would have run in there with that gun."

The parent of one of the young women who was killed told DiRuzzo that Peterson "didn't do his job." My daughter should be alive."

Peterson got caught lying when he claimed to have heard only two or three shots and didn't know whether they were coming from inside or outside the three-story freshman building. Radio calls proved him a liar as he is heard to identify the building as the shooter's location. Bullets fired through the window of that building was also further proof that he was afraid to save lives. Instead, he took cover almost directly above that window.

About 150 rounds were fired!

The poor guy resigned soon after the massacre rather than face being fired--being fired scared him too.

The icing on the Peterson crap sandwich was afterward when he had the audacity to question how others "keep saying I did nothing?"

Note: Scot Peterson is not related to Brenda Snipes.

Does anyone still trust Broward County?

The law sides with Florida's Rick Scott re: 'violation' of state constitution

The left has never met a constitution they didn't hate and Florida is no exception.

A state judge on Friday ruled with Florida Republican Rick Scott in ordering that Republicans be granted "immediate" access to requested information about ballots in Broward County, amid lawsuits against the county's top election official, Brenda Snipes.

Snipes is the County Supervisor of Elections for 15 years and was appointed to this position after her predecessor, Miriam Oliphant, was removed for incompetence by then-Gov. Jeb Bush. Snipes has won election for the office in 2004 and has been re-elected every 4 years since.

Her first problem as supervisor was ahead of the 2004 presidential primary whereby a handful of mail-in ballots were sent to the wrong address. She took full responsibility and had her office recheck addresses on remaining mail-ins. One week before the election, her office informed 100,000 voters that their polling place had moved, but luckily on Election Day, things went swimmingly.

Until the actual general election of 2004 when problems were as serious as a scream of "Allahu Akbar!" in a bar. About 58,000 mail-in ballots were not delivered and the post office attempted to figure out what the heck just happened. Snipes' office scrambled to send out replacements.

Like an omen to future elections, the Sun Sentinel reported that the Broward elections office WAS STILL COUNTING BALLOTS DAYS AFTER the 2004 election!

In the 2006 election, after the rest of Florida had finished tallying votes, BROWARD WAS STILL COUNTING because there was a chance that some votes may have been left in machines at polling places, which led to the term, "Thumb stuck in their nether regions."

Even though Gov. Rick Scott tried to purge felons from the voter rolls after his 2010 win as governor, at least five felons voted in Broward County in 2012. The same year, people waited in line past the 9 pm deadline because some locations ran out of ballots. A week after the election, about 1,000 uncounted ballots turned up in a warehouse.
Brenda Snipes
In 2012, Florida came in dead last to report election totals. Initially, Snipes defended her incompetence but eventually agreed to pursuing reforms to end long lines and misplaced ballots.

Snipes' first lawsuit came in 2014 over confused ballot layout, a possible problem in this year's election.

In the August 2016 primary, her office posted election results for early and mail-in voting on its website before polls closed at 7 p.m., which is a violation of state law. Snipes blamed a third-party vendor.

Before the November 2016 election in which Hillary Clinton loss to Donald Trump, a few voters complained that their mail-in ballots were missing the medical marijuana amendment that passed that year.

Then Snipes got sued again.

Tim Canova (I) for Congress lost to U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Weston) in 2016 and sued to see the ballots from that primary in March 2017. Snipes had ordered the ballots destroyed in September 2017, signing a certification that no court cases that centered on the ballots were pending. But under federal freaking law, those ballots were required to be kept 22 months after the election. Snipes had them destroyed after only 12 months.

Now we have Gov. Scott's Senate campaign suing elections supervisors in Broward and Palm Beach county Thursday where "fraud" and "incompetence" have been cited.

In their lawsuit against Broward, Scott, who is narrowly leading in the state's race for a U.S. Senate seat, allege that election officials are hiding critical information about the number of votes cast and counted.

In an emergency court hearing on Friday, state Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips ruled there has "been a violation of the Florida constitution," as well as the states' public records act, by not turning over requested records.

Gee, ya think?

For more information on Snipes, check out the Sun Sentinel.

Phillips ordered Snipes to allow for the "immediate inspection" and "photocopying" of the requested records no later than 7 p.m. Friday, hardly giving her enough time to doctor enough records to give the Democrats the win.

Scott's emergency complaint accused Snipes of being "unwilling to disclose records revealing how many electors voted, how many ballots have been canvassed, and how many ballots remain to be canvassed," adding that charges of uncertainty "raises substantial concerns about the validity of the election process."

President Trump, who doesn't like to get in the middle of controversies that don't directly involve him [just kidding] said of Snipes, "She has had a horrible history . . . and all of a sudden they're finding votes out of nowhere."

It is amazing that this incompetent woman has not been fired.

Scott is running against longtime incumbent Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, a man with a strange voice who always looks as if he had just finished crying.

Holy Mackerel! The Parkland shooter asked for help prior to massacre--was denied

This is what incompetence looks like
In a new report it was revealed that the 19-year-old gunman who shot up the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School this past February 14th, that killed 17, had asked for help months before going on his rampage.

The school failed to act on his request, but somehow the NRA still got the brunt of the blame.

The report was released Friday after Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer ordered Broward County Public Schools to release its report on the young gunman.

The Daily Beast reported that the gunman was informed that "he could transfer to Cross Creek, a school tailored for students with special needs; sue the Broward school district; or stay at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School without any special counseling."

So it appears he took the path of least resistance, but that was not the case.

Another newspaper, the Sun-Sentinel, noted the investigation found the school district "did not follow the requirements of Florida statute or federal laws governing students with disabilities" in two specific instances:
School officials misstated [the shooter's] options when he was faced with being removed from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School his junior year, leading him to refuse special education services.
When [the shooter] asked to return to the therapeutic environment of Cross Creek School for special education students, the district "did not follow through," the report stated.
In the Daily Beast article, it said the shooter was identified by age three as having developmental delays and was "reportedly stripped of counseling services and left to fend for himself as a 'regular student' after the school district failed to inform him that he "was still entitled to special assistance at Stoneman Douglas if he chose to stay."

A few months after the school district failed to act on his request for help, the gunman dropped out of school and immediately bought the rifle that he would soon use to carry out one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.

Don't blame the NRA; blame everyone involved in this shooter's case who heard the warning signs and refused to act on them.

Parkland shooter was assigned to Obama-era program and Superintendent lied

Local Florida media reported Sunday night that the school shooter of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was assigned to a useless Obama-era disciplinary program. The superintendent of the Broward County Public Schools denied several times that the program even existed, proving that both Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and school leadership are useless and dishonest.

WLRN reported:
Two sources with knowledge of [the shooter's] discipline records told WLRN he was referred to the so-called PROMISE Program for a three-day stint after committing vandalism at Westglades Middle School in 2013.
The PROMISE Program was implemented in the Broward County Public Schools in 2013 under the direction of then-Superintendent Robert W. Runcie at the urging of the Obama administration. The purpose of the program was to reduce the number of minority students who ended up in prison for crimes they committed on campus. In other words, it was Obama's way of making campuses "safe spaces" for criminals to commit crimes without having to sweat jail time.

Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire, wrote that Broward County Public Schools "had rewritten its disciplinary policies to make it nearly impossible to suspend, expel, or arrest students for behavioral problems including criminal activity."

Safe spaces for poor, misunderstood, victims of the system who may have shot one or two folks, but that's because of society. Yeah, sure.

School district spokeswoman Tracy Clark confirmed to WLRN that administrators in the district were analyzing the shooter's records and confirmed that he had been referred to PROMISE after the scumwafer vandalized a bathroom at the middle school shortly after the program was implemented in 2013.

But it isn't clear whether the shooter even attended the program as WLRN noted:
Clark said he appeared at Pine Ridge Education Center in Fort Lauderdale--an alternative school facility where PROMISE is housed--for an intake interview the day after the vandalism incident.
"It does not appear that [the shooter] completed the recommended three-day assignment/placement," Clark told the radio station, but wouldn't "speculate" on the reason why.


The radio station added that the [useless] Broward County Sheriff's Office previously said the shooter never attended the program.

"The school board reports that there was no PROMISE program participation," Jack Dale the BSO representative said.

Parkland residents impacted by the shooting called for Runcie's removal.

CNN denies they 'scripted' questions at gun town hall

The Certainly Not News network (CNN) is denying claims made by a student and shooting survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School that they "scripted" questions for him to ask at a gun safety town hall in Florida.

Colton Haab is a Junior ROTC member and has previously spoken with the media about how he helped his peers seek shelter during the shooting. But he didn't participate in Wednesday's event because he said that CNN attempted to plant "scripted" questions for him to ask.

"CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," the young man claimed. "I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions."

A Certainly Not News spokes leftist explained that Haab submitted remarks to be delivered, but they were turned away once it became obvious that he planned on delivering a long speech and not just ask a singular question. [They also didn't like the speech he submitted because it didn't challenge the Second Amendment and instead, called for more hard targeting of schools.]

"There is absolutely no truth to Haab's claim," CNN Vice President of Communism Communications and Digital Partnerships Matt Dornic told The Daily Caller. "CNN did not provide or script questions for anyone in last night's town hall, nor have we ever," he quoted from a paper he was holding.

Despite CNN's allegation that the reason Haab wasn't permitted to give a long speech, the liars did, in fact, allow multiple participants to deliver lengthy soliloquies that went well beyond the pale of simple questions, because their speeches were more in line with CNN's leftist agenda.

For example, Lori Alhadeff, whose child, Alyssa, was one of the 17 victims killed in last week's mass shooting, gave a four-minute speech while Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch sat on stage.

Fair and balanced, CNN is not. They obviously aren't looking for real solutions but are counting on emotions to push their liberal agenda.

Ironically, Alhadeff asked Loesch "what is your plan to put things into action? What is your action?" but Jake Tapper didn't allow Loesch to answer, mainly because she is intelligent, has great ideas, and scares the crap out of leftists like Tapper.

Alhadeff has appeared on CNN in the past because her ideas agrees with theirs. Her emotional response to her daughter's death last week brought CNN's Brooke Baldwin to tears during a live broadcast. [It is believed by many who know Baldwin that she pulled out a nose hair to cause the tears to flow.]

When The Daily Caller requested an additional comment on why Alhadeff was allowed to deliver her long speech yet Haab was denied, they refused to respond and the sound of crickets filled the air.

Like Jimmy Kimmel who used his baby son as a prop, CNN should be ashamed of themselves for using these students in the same way.
