Am I reading that this guy was broadcasting his intentions in increasingly alarming ways for some time before he ran a bunch of people over, including plans to kill his entire family, and the FBI knew about him at least hours ahead of time ... and his actions still couldn't be prevented?
I think we pay a lot of people way too much money to just take notes and mop up blood.
I guess the question is what did he do prior to this that was arrestable? The FBI is probably following thousands of people who talk a big game online but never take any actions. I don't think we have enough information to be blaming anyone but the murderer for what happened here right now
Who said he should have been arrested? At the most basic, a knock and "Hey, how you doing?" would be a start. And for all the surveillance that goes on, you'd think that this guy would have raised a flag and had someone paying real close attention to him. "Clearly unhinged guy rents a truck on Turo and heads for NYE in New Orleans" - I've been pulled over for less.
"Hey, how you doing?"

You're right, don't bother.
