Admittedly, he and the others FAILED TO ACT in the Parkland mass shooting situation, cost lives. But wasn't he and others just scapegoats for higher ups?

HOWEVER,
But he does open a can of worms, that does need to be addressed.

Those that directed and/or applied malicious intent, should face Criminal Charges. Plus, those malicious persons should be forced to reimburse the wronged person(s) incurred costs from their own pockets and bank acct's.

NOT the Government.
Because when we boil it down. When Government pays, it is really using, you, the Taxpayer pocket $$$, to cover and fund their malicious acts.

#3 in America we have a bias toward action, which means that doing nothing wrong is completely wrong if you did not do at least something right.

I have never read/heard this stated so succinct.

#4 But wasn't he and others just scapegoats for higher ups?

As I recall, NN2N1, he also kept others from going into the building to intervene.

#5 There was a cacophony of sins especially with regarding policies recommended by the Biden Administration. None of the systematic ills were investigated or addressed. Higher level accountability never happened. All of the blame was heaped on Scot Peterson. Like the Biblical scapegoat, Scot was cast out into the wilderness. Looks like he has wandered back.

TW you make a valid point.

PARKLAND TIMELINE. then click on Details button.

Starting around "2:24 PM: 2:24:14 (Peterson) “We’re talking about the 1200 building, it’s going to be the building off Holmberg Road.”

2:25 PM: Deputy reports shots fired by the football field.

Then it looks like Cluster Mess of misc info loaded the delay process.

So initially, Peterson stated he believed the gunshots were coming from outside the building. (like the April 20, 1999 Columbine High School, shooting scenario)

Either way there is no excuse for the 45 min delay.
