surveillance footage of Scot Peterson outside Parkland FL school

More than 27 minutes of surveillance footage has been released from security cameras at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, for the purpose of showing former deputy Scot Peterson standing outside of the building, while students and teachers were murdered inside.

In response to the actions of the armed school resource officer, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said the footage "speaks for itself."

"His actions were enough to warrant an internal affairs investigation, as requested by Sheriff Scott Israel on Feb. 21. After being suspended without pay, Peterson chose to resign and immediately retired rather than face possible termination," a statement from the department noted.

According to the time stamp on the video, the footage begins at 2:22 p.m. on Feb. 14, less than one minute before police claim that suspect Nickolas Cruz opened fire inside the freshman building.

House Overwhelmingly Passes School Safety Bill, No Other Actions Are Expected On Gun Control

The House of Representatives overwhelming passed a school safety bill in response to the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on February 14. Shooter Nikolas Cruz shot and killed 17 people in that attack. It sparked more calls for new gun control laws. The bill provides more funding for school safety and establishes another tip line to report threats.

There is the Fix NICS legislation that was drafted in response to the church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas last December. It has the votes to pass, but Democrats might deep six that because...it actually has a shot of passing. Yes, the House version has a concealed carry reciprocity provision, but while that will certainly be reported as the reason why Fix NICS would fail-there's the other fact that the Democratic legislative assault on the Second Amendment will end if either bill is signed into law, especially on NICS. That means no new ban on so-called assault weapons, expanded background checks etc, so they want to get as much as they can with this bite of the apple and to maybe use it for the 2018 midterms. And people wonder why nothing gets done in Washington D.C. (via Roll Call):

Comment: What is interesting is nobody is asking how these school shootings became frequent and lethal, despite billions of dollars spent in surveillance of the entire population over the last 2 decades. NRA which supports the guns doesn't trust the government in providing security. The Gun control proponents believe in Media propaganda of lone gunman theory and blame it on guns. Meanwhile, vested interests influence the Congress to spend more money on the security that will never bring the intended result. Who benefits from all this?. Is it the elite who owns the Media, Security industrial complex, Congress and NRA using false flag operations to control population?

Teacher placed on leave for questioning student walkouts for gun control

Sacramento, California, teacher Julianne Benzel was placed on paid leave for questioning whether students for life would be allowed to walk out of class the way students for gun control were.

Her questions were viewed as "anti-abortion" by some, which resulted in complaints and, finally, in Benzel being placed on paid leave.

This all occurred the same week that students across the country walked out of classrooms for 17 minutes in a show of solidarity for gun control.

Fox News Insider quoted Benzel explaining her position: "[If schools] are going to allow one group of students to get up during class and walk out to protest one issue, would they still give the same courtesy to another group of students who wanted to get up and walk out to protest? And I used the example of abortion."

A woman who claimed that she saw Bigfoot is suing the state of California for not recognizing her sighting after National Park Service officials told her that she probably saw a bear.

Claudia Ackley, 46, filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to get the agency to recognize Bigfoot-a hairy, ape-like creature allegedly seen by thousands of people-as a species.

Does gun reform need to be a war on masculinity?

Whenever a story about male violence dominates the news, it sets off the same range of discussions about how masculinity may be destroying our society. The aftermath of February's horrific mass shooting in Parkland, Florida has been no different. Now the deadliest school shooting since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012, Parkland has rightfully reawakened contentious debates around gun control and what we need to do as a nation to prevent more tragedies involving gun violence.

But at the same time, an onslaught of think pieces have fingered "toxic masculinity," as the culprit behind America's gun violence epidemic, with some propagating the idea that "the patriarchy" and "white male privilege" promote homicidal behavior. In fact, toxic masculinity has become the scapegoat for just about everything undesirable under the sun, from gun violence to sexual assault to shorter lifespans. But placing overwhelming blame on one sex is precarious territory.

Comment: The concept of toxic masculinity is itself toxic in its denigration of an entire gender, damaging young men by making them ashamed of being born male. Dr. Soh is right - it's time to do away with this damaging concept.

Getting his point across: Parent pulls knife on student to demonstrate school's lax security

A dad got in the face of a high school senior during a Long Island, New York, school board meeting Wednesday night and pulled out what appeared to be a pocket knife to make a point about lack of school security.

For Jade Pinkenburg - a 17-year-old who's against armed school security - the face-to-face encounter with a "considerably larger" man at a Long Island, New York, school board meeting Wednesday night was something he's not likely to forget.

"My legs got weak, and my heart was beating fast," the Rocky Point High School senior told Newsday later on.

Just hours after dozens of Rocky Point students joined the national walkout for stricter gun control, Pinkenburg stood before the school board's health and safety committee and told them there shouldn't be armed guards in school, the paper reported.

With that, a man sporting a bandana who Pinkenburg said he didn't know asked him to return to the front of the room, Newsday said - and cellphone video recorded what happened next.

Students from Universities of California call on regents to divest from Israeli human rights abuses

Members of the unified coalition made up of union workers, service workers, and students protesting the UC Regents use of tuition hikes, marginalization against vulnerable campus community members, and blatant investments in Israeli apartheid.

Yesterday, students, campus workers, and allies from across the University of California system were in Los Angeles to call on the UC Regents to listen to student voices and divest university funds from corporations that profit from human rights abuses against the Palestinian people. Following the UC Regents' signing of the United Nations' Principles for Responsible Investments in 2014 and clear votes in support of divestment by the University of California Student Association (UCSA), UC Graduate Student Worker Union (UAW 2865), and Student Governments on eight out of nine UC campuses, students are demanding the UC Regents ensure that the UCs reflect the values we all hold dear: freedom, justice, and equality.

The UCs are invested in the following corporations profiting from rights abuses, as documented by reputable human rights organizations: Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Caterpillar, Cemex, HP, General Electric, 3M, Perrigo Company, Atlas Copco, Ford and Hyundai. Lockheed Martin, for example, manufactures Apache helicopters that have killed Palestinian civilians, including children, and Caterpillar supplies bulldozers to the Israeli military to demolish the homes of Palestinian families to make way for illegal Israeli settlements. Instead of investing in corporations that harm communities, universities should be investing in corporations that do business ethically.

Jaw-dropping: Illegal alien acquitted of murdering Kate Steinle is suing feds for 'vindictive prosecution'

Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, the illegal alien acquitted last year of murdering 32-year-old Kate Steinle in July 2015, has sued the federal government, demanding that it produce documents "pertaining to vindictive prosecution and collusion" with the state government in its prosecution against him.

In November, a San Francisco jury found Garcia-Zarate not guilty of murdering Steinle, agreeing that although he had the gun from which the fatal shot was fired, the discharge could have been accidental.

The jury did convict Garcia-Zarate of felony possession of a weapon. He had seven previous felony convictions and had been deported five times before finding "sanctuary" on the streets of San Francisco, a noted "sanctuary city."

Comment: As if the verdict in Steinle's case wasn't enough of an injustice, now we can pile this on. The gall and the audacity is just stunning.

Flying crazy air: What's going on with airline travel?

The friendly skies are starting to sound downright dangerous. In March alone, stories of rape, fistfights and dead beloved pets have dominated national headlines. And it seems no airline is immune. United, Southwest, American and Alaska Airlines are just a few of the carriers scrambling to explain the behavior of crew members. And tales of passengers gone wild can often be even more harrowing.

In a recent survey of airplane crew members, 67 percent of respondents said they have witnessed passengers behaving aggressively or violently toward each other, and 10 percent have experienced firsthand passenger-initiated violence.

But it's not just the flyers acting out. Things have gotten so bad with their employees, United just rolled out a compassion training program aimed at teaching employees how to be caring, safe, dependable and efficient. This new system will require around 30,000 customer-facing crew members to attend a four-hour training session to ensure all safety standards are met "with a smile."

Comment: Things are getting crazy out there!
