Parkland Shooting Hero Speaks Out For First Time And Sets Record Straight About Hogg, ‘He Knew!’
SOURCE : https://goo.gl/kXgFnn
You won’t be hearing much about this on the left wing media but a student who was gravely wounded while saving his classmates when he blocked a door shut during the Parkland school massacre said that the real people to blame for this shooting aren’t the NRA and Patriotic Americans. It’s Sheriff Israel and the school superintendent who failed everyone who was killed or injured by allowing the shooter to attend the school and not arresting him before the attack even though they had gone out to his home 39 times in 7 years.
Because he is still too weak to talk, 15-year-old Anthony Borges’ attorney read an on his behalf during the news conference which went on to criticize Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and Superintendent Robert Runcie for the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that left 17 people dead and many like himself injured.
Borges was shot a total of 5 times and suffered wounds to his lungs, abdomen, and legs. He was the last of the 17 who were injured to be released from the hospital.
More on the statement via Fox News:
“Borges’ attorney read a statement from the teen during a news conference criticizing Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and Superintendent Robert Runcie for the massacre. Borges, too weak to talk, sat silently in a wheelchair with his right leg propped up. His statement specifically attacked the Promise program, a school district and sheriff office initiative that allows students who commit minor crimes on campus to avoid arrest if they complete rehabilitation. Runcie has said Cruz, a former Stoneman Douglas student, was never in the program, but Borges and his attorney, Alex Arreaza, said school and sheriff’s officials knew Cruz was dangerous.
Deputies received at least a dozen calls about Cruz, 19, over the years and he spent two years in a school for children with emotional and disciplinary problems before being allowed to transfer to Stoneman Douglas. Last year, records show he was forced to leave after incidents – other students said he abused an ex-girlfriend and fought her new boyfriend. Weeks before the shooting, both the FBI and the sheriff’s office received calls saying Cruz could become a school shooter but neither took action.
Runcie and Israel “failed us students, teachers and parents alike on so many levels,” Arreaza read for Borges, who sat next to his father, Roger. “I want all of us to move forward to end the environment that allowed people like Nikolas Cruz to fall through the cracks. You knew he was a problem years ago and you did nothing. He should have never been in school with us.”
Arreaza said that although Borges’ father, a maintenance worker, appreciates that people consider his son a hero for protecting classmates, he believes such talk detracts from the serious message that action must be taken to stop school shootings.
“He doesn’t want there to be any more bubblegum hero stuff,” Arreaza said.
Many of the school shooting’s survivors have spoken out against gun violence and called on lawmakers for stricter gun control in order to prevent future tragedies.
Borges visited his high school for the first time since the massacre but said he is scared to return for classes, fearing more violence.”
Borges, whose father is a maintenance worker, came from Venezuela three years ago was a boy scout and is known for his soccer skills. Before the shooting, he was even playing as a forward and training with FC Barcelona’s youth academy near Fort Lauderdale.
Glad to see we finally have at least one student calling it like it is.
