Just when one thinks the depth of incompetence and neglect in Broward County has been reached, it turns out that a little more digging turns up more. The family of one of the murdered students at Stoneman Douglas High School tells the Sun-Sentinel that the school district refused to fire the school's security monitor after his now-deceased daughter and others accused him of sexual harassment. The decision might have left an incompetent on duty as a mass murderer stalked the hallways:
A discipline committee wanted to fire Marjory Stoneman Douglas coach Andrew Medina last year for sexually harassing two students. But someone overruled them.
Instead, Medina was suspended just three days from his duties as a security monitor - a job he was working months later when he spotted Nikolas Cruz walking onto campus. Medina failed to stop Cruz, and the gunman soon killed 17 staff and students and wounded 17 more.
Among the dead was Meadow Pollack, one of the students Medina, 39, was accused of harassing in February 2017.
The issue of incompetence is not merely hypothetical. It turns out that Medina saw Nikolas Cruz before the shooting took place, but didn't confront him or set off the alarms. It's yet another piece of the case that has taken months to come out:
Pollack and other families of victims demanded last week that Medina be removed from the school after hearing video testimony from Medina about the massacre.
Medina, who was not armed, told investigators shortly after the shooting that he didn't confront Nikolas Cruz or lock down the school. Instead, Medina said he radioed ahead to warn fellow monitor David Taylor that a suspicious kid was headed his way, and Taylor hid in a closet. Both have since been reassigned.
"The School Board still elects to reassign them. It's mind-boggling and upsetting that no one in the county has been held accountable for what happened," Andrew Pollack said. "Not one person has lost their job." ...
