As sad as this is, a lot of people have been through it and worse. They don't go killing people.
And... some do. People need love & guidance. People do messed up things for their own reasons, but at least there's always a reason to break down and infiltrate with correct thinking and feeling. More hatred does nothing but encourage hate. Hopefully that's obvious.
We don't need a lot of people to have the same worst messed up reactions to life in order to be concerned for the reasons behind what opens doors for and encourages these actions.
True, but prisons are also full of people like this ~ born to troubled people like Brenda was.. Trouble breeds trouble.
Unfortunetly all that passes into the baby... The baby starts its life craving drugs
Every head is a different world.
There are so many people who have had rough upbringings. After 30 years teaching, I have seen horrific things happen to kids. He knew what he was doing!
Most children who have his background do end of going in and out of jail and cause a lot of pain for many others.
Just because they don't shoot up a school isn't a big deal.
They usually just kill a couple of people then spend the rest their lives in prison regardless.
@@eh1702 it doesn't matter what excitement he did or didn't get or if he couldn't see past the act of murdering all those people. He did it. He deserves the harshest sentence that the law will allow.
@@francismarion6400
Silly comment.
And exactly what does any of that have anything to do with his choosing to kill kids? - There are many kids out there from homes as bad as his and they most likely haven’t murdered anyone.
yeah i dont understand the relevance of this
This is what defense you use when you don’t have a defense.
They’ve gotta try anything to sway the jury one way or another. Kinda tough to do when your client decided to be a school shooter.
They're trying to say he has diminished responsibly due to the effect his mother's drinking had on him developmentally.
Well he has mental issues because of his mother
He was conceived, grew, and born from a polluted womb. Nicholas did not have the proper nutrition to have a healthy body or brain. He was doomed from conception.
Usually I have a lot of compassion and empathy for people in general but I can’t bring myself to feel that for him. He’s caused so many people insurmountable deal of griefs and pain. There’s no other judgement but life in prison without parole.
You can have compassion and empathy for someone and still believe they need to be held accountable for their actions.
I was really wanting the death penalty. Knowing what I know now, LWOP is sufficient, as long as he doesn't kill anyone in prison. He's a risk. He absolutely would've killed the corrections officer if he had the chance.
He meets several of the criteria for the death penalty in Florida. I don't think he's going to get life.
That might be what this was designed to do but the takeaway for me is that parents are effing up the kids, and something needs to be done about it.
That's the way I see it.
Why Life in prison? He’ll enjoy it
So sad for that girl as a little girl...
I wish I could of adopted all of them . She seems so distant and lacking love . I wish Jesus could wrap his arms around all of them . I would even take her to the movies / dinner . She deserves so much more
No matters what bad his childhood was... What he did is so wrong and he knows exactly what he was doing! He made videos about all the pain he wanted to made to those poor peoples... In purpose! I have no compassion for him. My compassion and my heart goes to the victims, the survivors and their families 🙏
I agree. He was heard laughing as he was shooting these poor young people. In addition, he went back and shot Peter & Joaquin again, obliterating their heads. Then he went and bought himself an Icee because shooting up innocents made him thirsty.
@@makesmewonder6497 Thank you for your comment! He is evil. Poor Peter and Joaquín 😢 That murderer wanted they dead😭
My God, use spellcheck for crying out loud. It actually works. Don’t you read the mess you type before hitting send? Try it, otherwise stop inflicting that garbage on the rest of us. Thanks in advance.
@@Elizabeth-te3sk
“The murderer wanted they dead.”
SAY WHAT?
Facts
My mom kidnapped my siblings and I from my father and made us run off with her new husband. (I didn't find this out until last year while accidentally walking into my father's family on the sidewalk 1000 miles away). My stepfather was abusive for 10 years and I moved out at age 15. In the process of hiding us from my father and his family we moved to 7 different schools and lived in 10 different homes. Neither myself or my siblings decided taking it out on everyone else was the way to solve our problems. I've seen the worst of what the world has to offer and I can't stand when people use it as an excuse. Yes, there is ptsd and psychological trauma that can alter the way one functions as a human being, but this guy knew what he was doing, planned what he was doing, made videos about what he was going to do, and was quite sane about his intentions... even warning a student on his way into the halls. His upbringing should not excuse his behavior.
So well written. So happy there are epic people like you who have the guts to tell it like it really is. You’re an example of how it’s done.
@@margieloesch1497 Thank you ❤
Ya he deserves no leniency, he could have taken his pain and turned it into something Beautiful but he did the exact opposite!
This isn't about you. It isn't about excuses. Context is important - he is guilty. This is about his life and the sentencing.
@Boston Gal They are using all of those reasons... from the womb to his up bringing. In fact I believe he started out with a public defender until someone found out how he had PLENTY of money to afford a lawyer.
I do genuinely feel compassion for this woman and her siblings. They never had a chance it seems. Neurodivergent children need a lot more care than most parents are able to give.
@Boston Gal This is his biological half-sister.
@@GC2024_ nik is also her half brother
Bio related, same Mom, different Dad's. No adoption.
Yes exactly this! The neurodivergents are also prone to acting out stuff they see on tv/social media, way passed the age at which a normie would be expected to stop. His mind was not being protected. Sure he got the special ed, but nobody looked after his mental health, self esteem. His internet searches were like something a young kid might make. He was stuck in a fantasy world but guns and violence were show cased all around him in the real (and gaming) world, and he was able to access them. Then the death of his parents 😪 the nail in the coffin
His goal was to kill as many people as he possibly could in under 10 minutes. I can’t feel bad for him for even one second. There are people who go through way worse and don’t do anything like this. We all make our own choices. We need to stop with this nonsense of blaming something for our terrible choices.
I agree with you. There is no excuses for what he did. He did it on purpose to inflict the most damage he could.
I hate how NC is so captivated by his sister’s testimony, but he couldn’t bother to raise his head to listen to the testimony of the families he destroyed.
I love it. Goes to show he's suffering
Regardless of your upbringing you don’t have the right to kill.
True. Killing is a sin
He wasn't raised by her. He was adopted by a wealthy family that treated him well. It was his body that his mother mangled.
I feel empathy for this woman and all the children. But he still committed a very premeditated Massacre of innocent children and teachers. The Jury will decide.
Debra you need to search the medication side effect of "homicidal ideation" & ask yourself if there is any difference between it & "premeditation" other than in premeditation you would have control, but homicidal ideation you do not. What did Christ say as he hung on the cross speaking of those taking his life? "Father forgive them!" Why? "They know not what they do!" To know that you would need a brain scan taken at the time of the shooting to see if there was enough conscious thought to do that. Sadly law enforcement are decades behind in relying on blood tests which does not necessarily tell you what is going on in the brain!
I hear you. Many of us have had terrible childhoods but that does not give anyone the right to hurt others and certainly not to commit a carefully planned cold-blooded mass murder of innocent children. I lost my son and all I can say is that it's like a never ending nightmare of brokenness multiply that by 16 mums not to mention the fathers. Never the same again. Aged before your time.
@@DrAnnBlakeTracy I understand both. Thank you. This was planned.
I feel so bad for this woman. She's having to relive all this painful stuff.
She’s also a criminal, no mercy
I'm starting to feel bad for both of them 😔
@@trapmafia4716 yea the way he was listening to his sister describe how their mother used drugs and drank alcohol while he was developing in the womb. Pretty rough
@@trapmafia4716 me too. The whole thing is awful no matter how you look at it.
@@gfidudid6535 we all have a past.
Doesn’t even begin to excuse his actions
All those drugs,the drinking etc while pregnant definitely can affect a babies develpment,both physically and mentally.
But they dont make you kill strangers.... people you know maybe but not strangers.
@@alphaomega8373 nobody is actually saying that
@@alphaomega8373 Actually, yeah. Yeah they do.
All of those things she mentioned are directly linked to a person's IQ and the lower a person's IQ the more susceptible they are to violence towards others. People who have been traumatized who have high IQs are the ones that target the people that caused it specifically.
Add to that bullying and you have Nicholas Cruz.
@@chicosmommy498 Regardless, alpha's wrong anyway. These things are directly linked to this type of behavior.
This is sad all around
OK...and what does that have to do with the decision to commit a mass murder. No sympathy here. Sorry.
Plenty of people did all of the above decades ago and plenty of people didn't turn out like that
That’s pretty common these days. But that doesn’t make them a mass murderer…. There is no reason or excuse for evil
Does evil exist or are we mislabeling it as a combination of brain damage,mental illness and bad parenting?
There actually is. Evil creates more evil.
@@deviantlord142 so what was the reason for the first evil that created more evil?
@@MaggieMayFlower broken software. Lock him up for life or until we have the tech to fix ppls broken brains
@@stephenlflf3871 and the thing is, there is ALWAYS warning signs. Six month old babies are placed in front of a screen and left there until they go to college. The parents don’t even know the kid…. Who knows what makes a teenager snap and shoot up a school? they definitely need to be locked away though.
I can’t stand when people try to make excuses for criminals…🥴🥴🥴
he's a mass murderer.. a little different than your ordinary "criminals". you're correct though, no excuse in the world for what he did
That’s why they feel emboldened.
Exactly!!! There might be an explanation for their behavior, but it will never be an excuse.
@@eh1702 alot of us have alot of pain an we don't murder people..
@@eh1702 Lots of people are dense NPCs.
Idgaf how fcked up his parents and life may have been . He knew right from wrong !!
Nickolas the murderer has spent most of other peoples testimony time with his head down drawing with his coloring pencils and ignoring what they have to say like a 2 year old. All of these poor people who have cried for their children and family members being murdered in cold blood. And no reaction from him. But, the minute his sister is on the stand talking about him and his nutty mother he's all ears. His head straight ahead, alert and ready for the attention. He's trying to save his butt from being put to death.
do you really want him to be put to death and get the easy way out? i'd be much more satisfied knowing he'll rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life.
"he's all ears...." Did you really have to make fun of Nicholas Cruz's looks? Such a bully you are! LOL.
John Smith Lol
i know plenty of kids that have been through 10x worse, and they never killed anyone.
His childhood was good his adopted parents paid £50.000 to adopt him then later paid 10.000 for his brother
🙄
My mom smoked and drank while pregnant with me and my siblings - that's absolutely no excuse! Knowing right from wrong is the problem.
smoking and drinking while pregnant is bad.
He knows right from wrong.
He knew right from wrong ha. I don't think that's the issue at hand.
You don't think these people that commit these crimes know the difference from right & wrong?
@@callamastia Yes. But it doesn't cause things like this. It can't be used as an excuse for someone becoming a psychopathic killer 20, 30, 40+ years after the fact. Plenty of women smoked and drank while pregnant. Especially in the 50s, 60s and earlier before we knew what alcohol and all the chemicals in cigarettes did to the fetus. By that logic everyone born before 1970 has an excuse to go out and murder people.
So did mine. Still haven't killed anyone in almost my 60 years
Literally _who cares?_ It's a shame that he had it difficult growing up. So do lots of people. The moment you take that suffering and violently force it on to others - everything else is irrelevant.
@@jmorales6539 huh... okay, you're obviously not that bright so I'll explain it slowly for you: I care about the _victims of this crime_ I *don't care* about the excuses this guy is trying to make for murder.
How is that even complicated?
"it's a shame". Sounds like you care
@@mattm6834 for those who aren't bright such as yourself - please read my comment above.
@@mattm6834 He's an NPC lmao.
@@hellowell3743 For ignorant people such as yourself, I'll explain. If you truly didn't care, it wouldn't be "a shame" that he had a difficult childhood.
"Polluted Womb" now that's a first!
Fair description considering she poisoned her children in utero.
That’s what it was
That boy was screwed from conception. We helped raise a foster child that was born in jail from a mother that did drugs & drank while pregnant on top of her being schizophrenic. That kid was all kinds of messed up they kept putting him on medication after medication for his behavioral problems. I found out he was shot during a robbery dead at 19.
Sad to know was a kid world is evil trust me
Did he go to a school and gun down kids and their teachers all at once ? No. Hardly the same.
This has NOTHING to do with what he did.
@Annon_28 Yeah it's called doing their job.
@Annon_28 What else can they do? They're trying to defend the indefensible.
Good for you👍🏻
So this lady was maybe 11 or 12 when all this happened? She’s very detailed in her story telling.
Some are blessed... Or cursed... With such a memory. I guess it depends on what kind of memories you have.
My hurtful childhood memories from around 5-6-7yo are untouched. I can vividly remember every moment that has knives, blood, running away, bruises, screams, alcohol, punches, holes in the walls, swearing etc
You might be surprised how traumatic experiences stay rooted in one"s brain
I thought she was my age.
I was 18 around 98.
she remember traumatics events
So sad for her 😢
I found the way his sister gave evidence very unsettling. I could not figure out if she was very nervous, heartbroken or disengaged.
Probably all of those. Her brother killed a load of poor teens. How would you feel?
Disengaged
She said she was nervous
POOR KIDS NO WONDER THEY ARE BOTH MESSED UP
So now we using parental drugs as an excuse now…okay.
Well.. they have to defend him in some capacity it's their job..
This young lady holds alot of anger and is warranted, where was her family?
Such a shame this woman had to live around those abusive addicts. Addicts who don’t use birth-control. The end result: hundreds of victims. The students, the family and friends. And this innocent woman, who has te testify in the trial of her murdering brother. And society let it happen. Cause it’s a free country.
There no reason to kill children!
There is no reason to kill anyone
Heartbreaking for the victimized, beautiful families- tragedy at its height. Evil guy with a horrid group of family members. All of them are sickening
Whatever his mother did while he was in her womb doesn't excuse him for what he did. That information is irrelevant to the case!
So tragic
No excuses, I feel no sympathy for someone that takes innocent lives for no reason. He could’ve advocated for people that went through the same thing, however he chose to be a killer instead.
True
True
Wait When Your Kid Being Bullied And See What He Says
I don’t care if the mother smuggled nuclear weapons in her spare time, no sympathy will be bought from me.
Agreed
@Dwatson he's trash
@Dwatson Yes.
@Dwatson her other children didn’t become mass murderer’s though. 🤔
The point is that most kids from his background DO get involved in a life of crime and drug dependent behaviour because of brain damage.
SO WHAT. HE BECAME AN ADULT. CHOICES.
Wrong grammar...
Nickolas and I were born on the same day of the same year. My birth name was Nikki. It sends chills up my spine when I think about it. Thankfully I’m an empath.
😳😳😳
Oh yeah. And I’m adopted.
I could call Nikki
Nichole Or Nicole
Is she in jail too? Why does she have handcuffs on with a sheriff behind her??
She's in prison for felony carjacking. She has quite the record and once brought a gun to school.
Prison for life but not sure what for. As for their brother, He's doing great in another state and trying to be a productive human being & is nothing like them.
@@hollymcdaniel5706 wow. thank you. I wondered why she had cuffs on while up there.
I was born in the mid-70's and my mom no doubt did it all. And? I've never committed mass murder, never will! I don''t know how some defense lawyers sleep at night.
"like a chimney"
Why is she in prison??
🙏❤ When I had my children and having had such horrible role models for parents, I felt completely inept when it came to raising my own children. So, I came to the conclusion that I would literally do the exact opposite of what my parents had done and believe it or not, it worked out beautifully! I also, lived vicariously through them, giving them the childhood I wished I could have experienced. They had birthday parties every year and wonderful Christmases. When money was tight, I put things on lay away starting in July so, they would have a wonderful Christmas without disappointments. I did my best to make them feel special and more than anything, wanted and loved . They turned out to be amazing caring, loving, compassionate adults, who I am extremely proud of! -Hester Mongomery
Yes , I had a good childhood except my parents were abusive . My dad mentally . No laughter . No hugs . I love to laugh . I forgive my parents . I mom really worked hard cooking , laundry , 6 children . I believe to forgive and you don’t know what my dad went through to become so serious. Once he took our volleyball away because of the grass . I still love them .
Hurt people hurt people time to get serious about mental health and how truly the mind is the battlefield.
Does anyone know if Brenda is alive? Or if passed, when & was it due to addiction?
Sickening attempt at trying to save a murderers life! It’s appalling!!!! He was adopted immediately, he didn’t endure what his sister went through! This murderer strategically planned to torture and murder innocent, beautiful people, and did! He made that choice! These innocent victims had nothing to do with his issues or his biological mother’s addictions! He is pure evil! Evil does not belong in this world!!!
She looks high while giving testimony.
I think she was really anxious.
Have you given testimony?
No, she’s terrified.
@@karinelaxa959 😆😆😆😆
She's in police custody so I don't think she's high. She looks nervous and upset about reliving her horrific childhood.
So??
My bio mom did the same thing and I never once thought about shooting up ANYONE, ANYWHERE !!!!!
Hurt people hurt people.
Not necessarily. Some people are inherently evil. Unless “hurt” means that Susie has a cell phone and I don’t so I’m going to kill My parents
Most people don't break the cycle.
Most people in prison are children of drug takers, single parents, prostitutes, crime families etc.
His sister literally went through the same thing at the hands of the same woman and yet she’s not a mass murderer.
The mom "broke" his brain enough that he picked up a firearm and went on a shooting rampage...if his brain was broken, then I'd think he'd be a "vegetable".
Really bothers me that he does everything he can to not look at any if his victims families, or even pictures of his victims, but is completely engaged in listening and looking at his sister her whole testimony. I don't think he's sorry for what he did and there will never be a good excuse for what he did.
Public humiliation, pain and execution are the only way to set an example for the MOST heinous crimes like this.
Exactly stop the spread of this evil plague
User name checks out. Tormentor indeed
I agree
Sometimes things were taken too far
Just because she says they had a bad upbringing doesn't change his sentence. He killed a lot of people and there needs to be justice. This is pointless.
Wasting tax payers of floridas money here bro.
He seemed genuinely emotional and sad watching her testify.
Wow! I am truly impressed at the number of doctors, psychologists, medication experts, judges and gods commenting here.
Poor woman 😢
That is no excuse!
This monster should get the DP, because otherwise his brother will profit from his story publiced in afking reality show!
serves no good dragging this person through the mud
How do we know her mother didn’t drink and do drugs while she was pregnant with her?
They are trying to get him out of the death penalty. Hope it doesn't work.
I feel terribly bad for the child version of him. But grown up him made his own choices. Young him deserved better
Man I tell yah if my kid told me to strip down so they could search me. They’d have another thing coming!
How effed up some people are. I’ll never understand the evil in this world.
The only times he has seemed interested is when his family were talking about his childhood. However, when the victims were talking about their horrific ordeals, Not once did he look up! Even when the families of the victims spoke of their heartache for loosing their children.. he still didn’t look up. Instead, he continued to draw. He is pure Evil!
horrible witness... everything is answered with a sigh(like poor me) and she keeps answering questions never asked(probably because she was coached before hand but also because she is so angry at her rmother
Is someone jealous?
She say Brenda is dead?
Him and a million others .
Reading the comments I find it interesting how some ppl always find excuses for the terrible behaviour of a certain segment of the population but when it comes to another segment they're not as sympathetic.
In those cases they label those whole communities as the worst of the worst "as expected" bc that's what they grew up listening to in their surroundings and want the full extent of the law to be applied.
Yes, this is one dysfuntional family but so are others in other communities. That doesn't mean this one should be spared while others should be thrown to the lions.
Let's be consistent with our principles.
Because we are sick and tired of hearing how everything that those other communities do is our fault. We are tired of the special privileges that those other communities get. We are tired of the fact that we must never say anything to offend anyone from those other communities. Finally, we are sick of the fact that we owe reparations to those other communities. There, got it?
This case is so sad. He not only destroyed the life of the victims and their families but he also destroyed his own life even more. Instead of working for a better life and a better future, he chooses to do bad and destroyed other peoples life as he’s own life was a horror. So so sad!! So many life lost!! 😢Also his sister is another victim. Her life as a child was another horror. Is all their mom’s fault. I don’t understand how a woman is capable of having babies to not loved them and give them to other people as a piece of 💩. Brenda destroyed her own children’s life.
Pregnant women who are doing harmful activities while pregnant should be locked up in rehab during their pregnancy and monitored after birth to make sure they are not continuing to do do activities that harm or neglect their children.
he deserves life with possibility of parole?
And now we know why he has become such a wonderful human being.
Sad reality but we all make our choices.
A perfect argument for abortion.
Seriously. .omg
Indeed
@@kayleen9110 100% serious. Think how much pain and suffering would have been prevented had a mother who values drugs over a baby aborted this one. Instead, a monster was created.
Why is this woman handcuffed?
no correlation and completely not relevant.
Sister: *talking*
Killer's defense: *literally interrupting* Objection, nonresponsive.
I can’t speak to illicit drugs while pregnant, but many people my age had moms who smoked and drank during pregnancy. We also were not nurses but our moms made our formula. No one I know is a mass murderer
they were lucky not to get fetal alcohol syndrome which has been proven to cause violent behaviour
Oh the one time this monster is actually paying attention....
I keep saying this again, until the US takes child care and mental health of children seriously, there will see no change.
the importance of this revelation to his actions is non existent.
20% of women across the modern world smoked and drank during pregnancy during the 50s 60s 70s 80s
if all of their children were mass shooters there wouldnt have been other children left.
But there was a spike in crime between 1965 - 1995 partly because of that.
I feel for those who have a horrible up bring but that doesn't excuse criminal acts. Imo
Well if he avoids the death penalty he probably has another 60 or 70 years in prison until he dies and then an eternity will continue on afterward. I really don't see the point in fighting it.
whats wrong with this women...
Looks high
She's nervous.
@@lilyotvalley21 def. an addict, cant wait to get off stand and get that crack back in her
She’s terrified. She’s being filmed during an extreme situation and knows this is going viral.
Long term damage of being the child of a drug taking prostitute.
So that gives him a excuse does it
Some people’s mother did the same but they don’t go around killing people
Parental deliquency is the cause of a lot of evil in this world.
What’s with the excuse so the person was ultimately left to one side by authorities too so why not blame them then there is no blame to be put on anyone apart from the killer
See this is that stuff that we are talking about. Many people mothers did bad stuff while pregnant and they did not shoot up a school. I’m tired of this defense narrative.
“Parkland Shooter's Birth Mom Smoked, Drank, and Did Drugs While Pregnant: Sister” So are so many other people alive and functioning 😂
When will they do a DNA search and check to find out who his "father " is.
I will never feel sorry for any school shooters ever.
