VIDEO: Do Google, and its subsidiary YouTube, have blood on their hands for the Florida slaughter?

The day after the shooting by Nikolas Cruz at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward County, Florida we learn that Cruz was reported to the FBI by a YouTube blogger.

Question: Did Google, who owns YouTube, report this posting to the FBI? If not, why not?

The New York Daily News in a column titled “Nikolas Cruz said he wanted to be ‘professional school shooter’ to YouTube blogger months ago” reported:

FBI agents were warned about Nikolas Cruz’s plans to become a “professional school shooter” months ago, according to a YouTube vlogger who noticed a sick comment on one of his videos.

Ben Bennight, a bail bondsman in Mississippi who goes by the name Ben the Bondsman, said that he received a terrifying comment from a user called Nikolas Cruz under a video in September.

“This comment said ‘I’m going to be a professional school shooter” and I knew that I couldn’t just ignore that,” he said.

Bennight said that he flagged the comment to YouTube and also sent a screenshot to the FBI, who visited him briefly in September and asked him whether he knew the poster.

Here is a video Ben Bennight posted on YouTube:

The Miami Herald reported, “[T]he FBI special agent in charge for South Florida told reporters that agents — after ‘reviews and checks’ — could not identify the user behind the YouTube comment.”

CNN reports:

On social media, Nikolas Cruz did not appear to be a peaceful man. He made quite clear his desire to perpetrate the exact type of violence of which he now stands accused.

Before he allegedly committed one of the worst mass shootings in US history at a Parkland, Florida, high school on Wednesday, police officials say Cruz wrote social media posts so threatening he was twice reported to the FBI.

He hurled slurs at blacks and Muslims, and according to the Anti-Defamation League, had ties to white supremacists. He said he would shoot people with his AR-15 and singled out police and anti-fascist protesters as deserving of his vengeance. Just five months ago, he stated his aspiration to become a “professional school shooter.”

If five months ago the South Florida office of the FBI had simply Googled the name Nikolas Cruz, checked the national data base on gun purchases in Florida or searched lists of expelled students for the named Nikolas Cruz they would have hit pay-dirt.

It just doesn’t make sense that with the resources available to law enforcement at every level and the algorithms available to Google and YouTube that Nikolas Cruz was never found.

This failure to see the obvious reminds us of July 18th, 2016 when Judicial Watch obtained documents revealing FBI that declared the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen not to be a terrorist 3 years before the slaughter.
