Disgraced deputy haunted by failure at Florida school shooting

By Tamar Lapin

June 4, 2018 | 10:07am

The disgraced Florida sheriff’s deputy who stayed outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as a killer stalked its halls has spent the 90 days since the massacre wondering why he failed to save lives, according to a report.

“It’s haunting,” Scot Peterson said in a Washington Post report published Monday. “I’ve cut that day up a thousand ways with a million different what-if scenarios, but the bottom line is I was there to protect, and I lost 17.”

Since the Valentine’s Day attack at the Parkland school — where 17 people were killed and 17 more injured — Peterson has lost his job with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, been dubbed the “Coward of Broward” in local media and been served with a lawsuit from a parent whose daughter died in the shooting.

The life of a coward is difficult.

How many kids are dead because of him and the cowards in the sheriff's dept.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him because he's "haunted" by his own cowardice?

The price of being a coward, especially when the shooter was some amateur teenager that wouldn't have been much of a match for a half dozen sherriff's deputies.

Wait a minute.   Was he at home on that day?  I haven't heard this.  I heard that he was never in any danger, but I thought he was in a different building or something like that.

He was home.  When He saw it unfold on tv He road his little bike 3 miles to school with his camera to document the carnage.

No, I think it turned out he was there, but after the shooting and when he got home, he got on his bike and went back with his camera.

Judging from his maturity level, are we certain it wasn't a tricycle?

I need to see the attendance reports for that day before I believe it.

Yeah, but he has such a nice fat pension/retirement package to console himself with.

Such an outrage. I'd give him back what he put in without interest (if anything) and refuse the pension for the rest of his worthless life.

“It’s haunting,” Scot Peterson said in a Washington Post report published Monday. “I’ve cut that day up a thousand ways with a million different what-if scenarios, but the bottom line is I was there to protect, and I lost 17.”

The only 'what-if' here is what if you had done what you were paid to do.

It is similar to an airline pilot.  A jet nearly flies itself with auto-pilot.  But the reason they have a pilot AND a co-pilot on a plane is in the event that something goes wrong.  Pilots make a lot of money just in case a bad event occurs, because it is their job to correct it and save the lives of the passengers.

Same with this sheriff.  His daily duties were not demanding.  The only reason the school paid him to be there was in the event that something went wrong.  For month after month, he collected a paycheck because he was the one who was supposed to protect the students from  some dangerous event.

Well, the event happened, and this guy checked out.  It is beyond despicable.  He fraudulently stole money from the school by pretending to be someone he was not.  And this fraud led to the death of school kids.  If he really has remorse, he would pay back every dime of salary he collected from that school.

He is just getting ready to write a book or a screenplay and is setting himself up as the remorseful, haunted man who needs to share his pain with the world.

To be portrayed by Tom Hanks, no doubt.
