I hate to jump to conclusions… but I feel like the FBI has failed us yet again.
A Muslim-convert teenager in Florida killed a thirteen-year-old boy for “mocking his Muslim faith…” and injured two others.
It turns out he was being investigated by the FBI for his fascination with ISIS and threats towards a school. He had been investigated for the past 14 months.
So much like the Parkland shooter… they knew this guy was a major threat to others… and they did nothing.
A Florida teenager who allegedly told police he stabbed three people, one fatally, after he was mocked for being a Muslim was already on the FBI’s radar and about to be arrested on federal charges, police reports show.
The FBI, which met with suspect Corey Johnson, 17, of Jupiter last year, began monitoring his social media accounts because of terror-related activity — almost a year before Monday’s bloody knife attack on two 13-year-old boys and the mother of one of the boys at a birthday sleepover, according to a police report.
The investigation — which stretched back to at least January 2017 — involves Johnson’s alleged interest in ISIS, social media activity that included watching beheading videos, a threat Johnson allegedly made against a school in northern England and his reported fascination with dictators and extremist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, according to reports compiled by Jupiter police.
Palm Beach Gardens investigators said Johnson’s faith led to Monday’s attacks, which left the boy celebrating his birthday dead.
Holy crap…
Can you imagine how the parents of this dead boy must feel at finding this out? The FBI KNEW how dangerous this guy was… but they did nothing… and that family invited him into their home. Their son is now dead.
Investigators say in a probable cause affidavit that the suspect confessed that he stabbed his victims because one made fun of the way he prayed and kissed the ground and because another treated celebrities as if they were gods, something Johnson said Muslims don’t condone.
“This was not a random act of violence,” Palm Beach Gardens interim police Chief Clint Shannon said Tuesday. “All persons involved in this incident knew each other.”
Johnson will face charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder, Shannon said. CNN called the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office about Johnson’s legal status but the office said “nothing is available for public disclosure.”
It was unclear whether Johnson had an attorney.
A woman at the Johnson home told CNN on Wednesday: “We don’t have anything to say. Our hearts break for everyone of course, but we just don’t have the words.”
Absolutely heartbreaking.
