Patriots wide receiver thwarts would-be school attack in Michigan

April 05, 2018

The Glenn Beck Program

A mass killing may have been averted at a Michigan high school, and it shows everything wrong with the FBI, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office AND the Broward County School system. In fact, I hope they’re all paying attention to this right now.

This is an example of concerned citizens doing their part, REAL cops doing REAL police work, and it shows what’s possible when all of the above come together.

You won't hear much about the YouTube attack because the suspect doesn't fit the media narrative

New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was hanging out with one of his teammates in Texas a couple weeks ago when he got a disturbing direct message on his Instagram account. It read:

“Dude, there is a kid in your comment section says he’s going to shoot up a school, I think you should alert the authority.”

Edelman immediately contacted his assistant back in Boston and asked her to look into it. It couldn’t have been easy. Edelman is one of the most popular wide receivers in the NFL. Finding one comment out of the thousands on her bosses Instagram would be like finding a needle in a stack of needles. But eventually, she came to this message:

I’m going to shoot my school up watch the news.

She immediately called 911 and a police officer arrived soon after.

The Parkland killer left a nearly identical message on Youtube, but the FBI proceeded to drop the ball.

So, back to the Parkland shooting. If this were that scenario, this is where it would have stopped. In fact, the circumstances were VERY similar. The Parkland killer left a nearly identical message on Youtube, but the FBI proceeded to drop the ball. Not so with the Boston Police Department.

The Boston PD assigned two detectives to look into Edelman’s Instagram comment. They immediately made an emergency records request to determine the user's email and IP address. They were able to use that information to trace the location to a town in Michigan.

The Boston detectives then contacted the police in Michigan who then went straight to the address where the message originated from. They found a 14-year-old boy in possession of 2 rifles. The boy eventually confessed to making the threat and admitted that his anger was directed at the middle school he attends. He has now been charged with a felony and is sitting in a juvenile detention center.

We already have the laws and procedures in place to protect us.

This is how it’s done. This story has it all. Responsible and concerned private citizens, smart detective work and extremely competent law enforcement officers following procedure BY THE BOOK. We don’t need MORE gun legislation and red tape. We already have the laws and procedures in place to protect us.

If they were followed like this every time, we’d have fewer tragedies.

POLL: What did YOU think about the 2nd GOP presidential debate?

Wednesday was a big night for the Republican presidential candidates during the second GOP debate... OR WAS IT?

Glenn wasn't impressed with the debate. In fact, he went as far as to say it was the worst Presidential debate BY FAR he had ever seen for THIS reason: NO ONE discussed the major issues that Americans are actually facing.

Inflation has doubled Americans' grocery bills. Gas is nearing a historic record of $100/barrel. We have DOUBLED our national deficit. Bidenomics and the globalists' green agenda pose an existential threat to core American industries while we continue to fund the Ukrainian people's pensions and small businesses. It is as if our government has forgotten the American people.

Get THE DOCUMENTS for the 'Parental Advisory' Glenn TV special

There was a time when both the Left and the Right agreed that parents have the final say in raising their children... Not anymore.

In the People's Republic of California, the STATE, not parents, will determine whether children should undergo transgender treatments. The California state legislature just passed a law that will require judges in child custody cases to consider whether parents support a child’s gender transition. According to the law, the state now thinks total affirmation is an integral part of a child’s “health, safety, and welfare.”

We are inching closer to a dystopia where the state, not the parents, have ultimate rights over their children, a history that people from former Soviet nations would feign repeating.

Glenn dove into the law AND MORE in this episode titled, "Parental Advisory: The EXPLICIT plot to control YOUR kids." To get all the research that went into this episode AND information on how YOU can fight back, enter your email address below:

The Biden admin has let in MORE illegal aliens than the populations of THESE 15 states

There are currently an estimated 16.8 MILLION illegal aliens residing in the United States as of June 2023, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). This number is already 1.3 million higher than FAIR's January 2022 estimate of 15.5 million and a 2.3 million increase from its end-of-2020 estimate. Even Democrats like New York City's Mayor Adams Mayor Adams are waking up to what Conservatives have been warning for years: we are in a border CRISIS.

However, this isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010. In the first two years of the Biden administration alone, the illegal alien population increased by 16 PERCENT nationwide, imposing a whopping net cost of $150.6 BILLION PER YEAR on American taxpayers. That is nearly DOUBLE the total amount that the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine.

This isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010.

These large numbers often make it difficult to conceptualize the sheer impact of illegal immigration on the United States. To put it in perspective, we have listed ALL 15 states and the District of Colombia that have smaller populations than the 2.3 MILLION illegal immigrants, who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration. That is more than the entire populations of Wyoming, Vermont, and South Dakota COMBINED—and the American taxpayers have to pay the price.

Here are all 16 states/districts that have FEWER people than the illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration.
