As I mentioned earlier, the FBI received a warning about Nikolas Cruz back in September… When he posted a comment on a YouTube video saying he wanted to be a “professional school shooter.”
The FBI questioned the man who sent in the tip, but never took it any further.
They are now explaining why… and it’s NOT GOOD.

No other information was included with the comment?!
… the guy used his FULL NAME.

How is a full name and an IP address search not enough for the FBI to find someone?!?!?!
I mean… they are supposed to be our premier investigative force, right?
If you give me a full name and an IP address I COULD TRACK SOMEONE DOWN MYSELF.

YouTube has not commented at this time:
FBI Special Agent Robert Lasky confirms that agency received a tip this year about YouTube user Nikolas Cruz commenting that he wanted to be a professional school shooter, but agents could not verify “time, location, or identity.” Still no response from YouTube

I’m having a really hard time with this. How was the FBI outsmarted by some mentally disturbed teenager?
People aren’t buying it:
That is absolute BS but if it is true FBI truly is incompetent and needs to be disbanded.

Ridiculous assertion from @FBI.
Extremely careless and/or laziness.
