Thank God the girl had sense eneoigh to do that.

Everyone should do like his ex ... she saved a lot of innocent souls!!

He looks like Avicii.

It had to be a Florida man, didn't it?

Tame those dull white supramacists who think the can shoot any race the want to.

Always good when the process works.

A blank man wud have bin a gunner for this

What is the matter were people medalle these mass shootings All these mass shooting threats need to stop nip it in the Bud

Is this Griezman.

Sanders supporters

This Lady who Alerted the authorities, marks the first of many to come, to be Named on the list of unsung heroes!!!!!!

I went to highschool with this dude.

Florida

If your concerned about gun laws-it means your MENTALLY ILL and planning attacks

Maybe he's looking for a men he will get one in jail

He's a terrorist.

Wow. He is white. Surprised..said no one

This is one of the reason it may stop a person to come forward and denounce someone. Why does the press mention who the person is? How can she fell secure now?

Razarumi Looks like couple’s personal matter heated up the woman gave a Political spin ?

Trumps army of psychos , this is a scary time we live in

Never seems to end in Florida.

fucking hot! 😍

This expectation that she should save him from his own idiocy is such toxic & abusive behavior. Good for her for getting away from him & going to the authorities.

So young men can not handle rejection any more ?

Warning people ahead of your planned mass shooting is always the best way to ensure your mass shooting goes without a hitch.

So when is Trump going to pitch building an expensive wall along the Florida border?

Girlfriends should act like this girl did by informing authorities about bf’s intentions in relation to mass shootings. Don’t ignore any insignificant information. Bravo to this girl who shared this information

gskh1237 coo coo for cocoa puffs.

Only in Florida can you find a man so mind-bendingly stupid he actually reacts to the news his ominous messages were reported to police by 'kicking it up a notch' and threatening a rampage...

Of course white, of course male.

So he’s nuts too 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thanks girlfriend

Bless this young lady, she saved countless lives and family losses and lifelong grieving. No small thing. Thank YOU SO much!!!!

I applaud this girl for coming forward to help save lives and also help prevent her boyfriend from making a decision he would likely regret for the rest of his life. More people should be doing this. This was the kind thing to do.

Good. Gas him.

There's ALWAYS an ex involved isn't there. That's what happens when kids are coddled. They can't handle rejection.

Thank goodness for the ex-girlfriend notifying authorities.

He was trying to manipulate her into getting back with him to save people. He would’ve killed her and she’s lucky she got away and she’s a hero for alerting the authorities. Never, EVER, let this man out of jail.

In the UK this would be impossible. Nobody has weapons of mass destruction of human lives!

Damn video games. ****sarcasm if you have to ask****

Definitely a Democrat!

bibliophile68 CUCARACHA.....INFESTATION

With what? What type of rifle was he going to use? Tell us please. Is this guy mentally ill too? Tell us please!

Seeking asylum in Canada seems like a real option right now.

If you see something, say something.

This is how you stop mass shootings....diligence by people understanding the signs and getting to the authorities.

Well done that girl. Lock him up.

Nice work stopping this one. But how many other people similar to this guy are out there in America with EASY access to guns. Focus on the root cause of these issues. Mental Health & Gun Control. Pull a New Zealand

Award a medal or something to this woman. She’s a hero. Encourage others to do the same. Teach/show people what to look for. Maybe other lives will be saved in the future.

🌚💔i guess the rest are not guilty to be killed aren’t!

Good! Award her for alerting the authorities! So sick of these mass shooters.Scared to leave the house these days.

And ANTIFA is still on our streets.

Just quit letting young men buy guns. When life doesn't go their way, they can't cope.

She's a hero. Anyone that knows of a person like him should always report it. Save lives.

This is my city.

That’s mighty white of him

Griezman doppelganger

I swear, it never ends!

Death Penalty

But hey CNN..... The last guy in Philadelphia was African American....... 😎

Trump 2020.from a white boy from the south. Peace, love and happiness to all.

He was probably in Portland wearing a black mask yesterday.

Another psycho. At least criminals, I understand. But these people make no sense. If he wanted to die, he could’ve just shot himself and left everyone out of it.

Florida man strikes again

Good for her!

I'm starting to sense a theme here. 🤔

White✅ Man✅

It might be better not to give these cretins attention. That’s what they want. nonotoriety

Good! That’s exactly how it should be done

Of course he’s a trump supporter!!!!! impeachdrumpf

Another Trump's son.

ahh look at that! a white man!

DNA leads to arrest in another Florida rape case from 1980sFor the second time in a year, authorities in a south Florida community have used DNA evidence to identify and arrest a suspect in a decades-old rape case. Timothy Norris, 60, is charged in the knifepoint rape of a Florida woman at her home in 1983, Coral Springs police spokesman Tyler Reik said Friday I like these DNA searches. It's bringing people to Justice who might otherwise have escaped it. Of course it's Florida.
