When you see stuff like the FUCKING TELL SOMEONE.


These were Facebook messages. That makes it provable and easy to screenshot and send to local authorities that he is admitting to a crime.

And the first thing the local police will do is run a check on his background. While the info on his conviction wasn’t in NICS it will be in NCIC and they will see right then he wasn’t legally allowed to own guns and yet admired to not only having them but engaging in animal cruelty with them.

Can we say for sure this wouldn’t had happened had she reported what he was saying? No. We can say there is a strong chance an intervention that prevented this would have happened. And we can say it wouldn’t have made things any worse.
