FBI Atlanta announced Wednesday evening that they knew about the mass shooting suspect making terroristic threats as early as May 2023.
Just like the Stone Douglas shooter who the FBI ignored we have another FBI failure.
While I hate the FBI, let's put the blame where it belongs. In this case, there is no evidence the FBI ever knew the name of the suspect or had him on their radar. They received an anonymous tip and passed it to the county sheriff, as per their protocol. The county SO is where he was identified and then talked to, with his father. The failure might be the SO's fault, or even not a failure. The SO said there was not enough evidence to do anything and they might have been right.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt I suppose, but there were failures in this case. I know the SO was informed and spoke to the father and the boy, so if the FBI didn't identify him how did the sheriff know who to go see?
The mother phoned the school an hour before the shooting began. A ten minute phone call according to one report I saw. I do not know what actions the school took if any what the timeline was is they did act.
The father has a lot to answer to for buying his son an AR after the incident of being questioned about school shooting threat.

NOTE: There is no evidence (yet or, at least, publicly available) that the father allowed the son unrestricted\unsupervised access to the gun(s) in the home. Absent such evidence, I don't see how they can even charge the father, much less get a conviction.
Communist governments charge parents for crimes committed by their children.

They punish the relatives of persons they dislike. Generational punishment. They don’t charge them with a crime.

Okay so you’re saying Georgia is worst than communist? I can agree with that.
