Failures One after the Other Caused the Deaths of 19 Children

 Failures One after the Other Caused the Deaths of 19 Children

Al Ritter

Salvador Ramos was a felon according to his Grandfather that alone was a factor that should have kept him from possessing a gun or even being in a house where a gun was present. The very fact that he was able to purchase a gun was either a failure of the FBI system that gun stores use to properly vet a purchaser for the right to own a fire arm, or a failure of the Gun Store at which he bought the weapons.

Number two, the school had installed a program called Navigate 360 through Social Sentinel, an artificial intelligence software that uses social media posts to monitor possible violent offenders. Now this probably wouldn’t have worked in Ramos’s case because he was 18 and this was an elementary school that he didn’t attend.

What is apparent though is that he had made several threatening posts on social media about wanting to kill his grandmother and mother and in some posts even shown pictures of the weapons. This alone is what social media sites SHOULD be monitoring rather than fact checking and political postings. So this was a failure on Social Media’s part.

Ramos was a heavy marijuana smoker which in his Grandfather’s words contributed to his violent psychotic behavior.

His Mother and Grandfather survived his initial attack in their home but the Grandmother was killed by his first bullets.

Here is the next question, how did he get to the school? It was about a mile away, Ramos didn’t own a car, and yet he drove one, whose car was it?

Accounts from the scene say that are confusing at best. Some say he fired multiple shoots before entering the school building, some say he didn’t. The biggest question is how exactly could he have entered the building through locked outside doors?

Now I won’t get involved in the Police Departmental actions once they arrived, but parents on the scene claimed they stood around for 40 minutes and did nothing.

Thankfully an off duty Border Patrol Officer entered the building and neutralized the threat killing Ramos.

Lots of questions, but few answers. It is painfully obvious that things would have turned out very differently had even one of the systems worked successfully.

More guns regulations won’t work unless the present ones do, the biggest question is if he was in fact a felon how was he able to purchase the weapons unless either the FBI checking system failed or the failure was with the Gun Store?
