In this case, the FBI actually did act by telling local authorities, who
then took the kid's word that "I don't have a Discord account so I couldn't
have been making terroristic threats" over the word of the FBI and the
evidence they had.

Supposedly the father told authorities that if he thought his kid had done
those things he'd get rid of all his guns.  Between the "talk" with
authorities and the shooting, the dad instead apparently bought the kid a gun
which was used in the shooting.

They told local authorities who took the kid's word over the FBI's.  The
locals should be in some trouble over this.

That is something that bothers me.  In one county in Kentucky, "encounters"
with kids at school with weapons went up drastically in 2021 vs. 2019 (the
last year before the COVID schoolyear).  As nearly all the kids in the
district are under age, where are they getting these weapoms from?

I cannot remember if the district in question includes Louisville or
Lexington, but it was not a rural district where some kids might have a
hunting rifle in the cab of their pickup.  It is a case where the kids are
caught with knives and guns inside the school building, sometimes even
getting them past the metal detectors.

So where are their parents?
