The families of most of those killed and wounded in the 2018 Florida high school massacre announced Monday have reached a multi-million dollar settlement with the federal government over the FBI’s failure to stop the gunman even though it had received information he intended to attack.

Attorneys for 16 of the 17 killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and some of those wounded said they have reached a monetary settlement with the government over the FBI’s failure to investigate a tip it received about a month before the massacre. The 17th family chose not to sue.

The attorneys said the settlement’s details are confidential, but a person familiar with the deal said the government will pay the families $127.5 million overall. The person requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the amount.

I am surprised by this. Not because it is wrong but because it actually worked out. The FBI and law enforcement completely failed here. There was so much smoke here you could see there was a fire from over the horizon.

Based on the article I'm going to post about a different mass shooting (Dayton) the FBI apparently doesn't act on smoke or even fire over the horizon. They want tipsters to actually tell them exactly when and where the fire is to occur. If they don't it's their fault, not the FBI's. :roll:

Sometimes even that is not enough for them however. Documents released show the FBI knew before Jan. 6th, exactly what was going to happen, in graphic detail, and why and on what day and where (DC) and they still did nothing. :(
