- Опубликовано: 1 ноя 2022
- Manuel Oliver, the father of 17-year-old Joaquin Oliver who was shot and killed by Nikolas Cruz, who murdered 16 others at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, spoke to Cruz in court ahead of his sentencing in Florida. Victims and relatives spent the last two days giving impact statements in court. Cruz was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Warning: Some strong language.
This guy knew exactly what to say that that monster will remember. “You’re not cool” “somebody will be more famous for killing you” and “everybody loves Joaquin”. Badass.
@💎WhyuEWObro💎 for sure man a real A hole let's hope he suffers eh
@@westerlyrhodeisland6256 exactly, who kills alot of ppl but still be scared of prison😑
@@KaionaV thats a strange thing to happen in someone's life...
Nick didn't even flinch😎
Truly moved by this father’s words.
Joaquin - what an amazing boy with a badass family. May his memory be a blessing.
Love his family!!!❤ they’re awesome
The family is really hurting. Mom's face says it all. It sounded like he was sending out a hit and i dont blame him.
Yeah you can tell any kids this man raised would be unbelievable and amazing 💯🙏😢
@SkyNet General Same here...I'll bring him HoHo's and Capri Sun
Lol...yes, very "bad ass" with that MAN BUN. GTFOH
His son would be proud of his father today. A true bad ass, and loving dad. Reminds me of my dad, really. Looks at him straight in the eyes and talks with conviction. May Juaquin rest in peace, and may this father find peace within himself going forward.
@Allison Orwell that's the most disrespectful and idiotic comment I've seen so far.
How the hell can you blame the parent of a kid who died from gun violence? Wtf do you mean "refusal to govern"... HES NOT EVEN IN GOVERNMENT! Are you sick in the head? Do you think the parents have control of government? Because news flash, they don't. The politicians and NRA do. Do you think , maybe , it's the GOVERNMENT that isn't listening to the actual causes? You know, a common sense conclusion? What did the father do? Hmm?
It will be hard. But time heals.
Manuel is an example of a good human being. People should be inspired by him.
He is an awesome person I love his statement. He walked in that court room like a boss. I love this man and his wife... and their daughter. Very powerful
I liked Manuel Oliver and Andrea and Patrica all amazing during the court and victim impact statements... WOW
This guy has charisma. You want to hear what he has to say. I'm sorry for all these families lost. So heartbroken.
Yeah Manuel Oliver is an inspiring figure who received and immense injustice by life.
WhOO! This man is REAL DEAL! He's as STRONG as it gets!
Alpha male
Loving father
General all around BADASS

“If you’re trying to be the ‘cool guy,’ you’re not. You’re the worst. How does it feel, nobody likes you? Sad.”
Goosebumps, man.
No one liked him before the shooting. Guy has mental problems and should have been institutionalized way before the shooting. Keep kickin' that can.
Rip Joaquin . This mama testimony was poetic
This father hit it on the head on all aspects , RESPECT
I strongly agree
I love how this father had the last word with those scumbag lawyers. They should be ashamed with how they conducted themselves in this trial.
Why?
I am so glad that someone looked at the defense team right at their eyes and told them a few much needed truths. The jokes, the middle finger insults and the disregard for the families lost. I am so glad he told them the pieces of trash that they were. Manuel was the last and the best. I feel he gave us all a little bit of justice. No defense team should have the right to behave so disgusting inside a courtroom full of innocent victims.
even the devil gets an advocate I don't blame the lawyers they did what they were paid to do,
@@sidharthchand8072 they were not paid to persecute the victims they were paid to “advocate” for the killer. All that extra sht was completely out of line and distasteful
Was gonna write something myself but after reading this theres nothing for me to add.Thank you and bless this man and his family
The amount of pain you can feel through the parents victims. This case will break your heart every time. I feel so much pain for them
cope, mass casualty incidents such as this happen all the time
@@the__black__box You are so edgy and cool.
Joaquin is watching his father with pride right now, may he rest in all the peace.
This guy has connections, I believe him when he says life will be painful.
Well he clearly doesn’t have connections because nikolas cruz is in protected custody so nothing is gonna happen to him, he’s safe. Don’t try say Jeffrey dahmer was protected he was until he decided to go in general population he died in General population
Sure, buddy
Oh me too!!!!!!!
I READ BETWEEN THE LINES
Nah, he aint going to do nothing.
@@cosmokramer7396 Why? U know him personally?
Joaquin’s family are powerful and very well spoken
A sentence of life without parole IS a death sentence, but it comes without an execution date.
That’s bullshit or else it would be called a death sentence not a life sentence. Justice was not served in that court! 3 meals a day, free medical care and a bed to rest on is not justice no matter what bad things happen to him in prison.
Well it _could_ come with one if the inmates decide to take matters into their own hands
@@dude2499 🤞
Yeah but we need to be better than him. Even a trash life is a life. We will root in a prison for all Life.Cruz Will have time to regret and damn himself.
Thank God Manuel decided to speak. He is so powerful. Rest in Power Joaquin.
The murderer had fear, for the first time in his eyes as this man spoke. I hope he heard every word he spoke and the gravity of truth in them.
I see NO sorrow or remorse on the murderer's face. Is he THAT cold?!
@@jimgravesus sad but true 😪
he definitely reacted to being called uncool. that would mean something to anyone coming from someone so obviously cool. the sex pistols shirt was a nice touch lol
I'v read that psychopath's brains are different from the norm, they lacking in the area for empathy. I wish more researches would study the bioligic brains if these people. Coz if thats the case, then he's just the way he is. If we're the ones with his brain, we'll be the same.
He will have a lot of time to regret what he did inside a Cage 2x3 for the rest of his life. He's not a strong mentally guy: he'll break down sooner or later.
I applaud this father stating the obvious about the defense team for an entire minute getting all bothered and defensive about THEIR children even being mentioned (not even by name mind you) and the immediate response they had. Ironic indeed. They have no idea the cost of what they did to keep this ugly murderer from the death penalty.
They’re just doing their job Laura. They were appointed by the state. Both them and their children don’t deserve to be threatened for doing what they’re employed to do. Someone has to do it.
wasn't it the jury that decided against the death penalty?
@@ccc4545 is flipping off the family of the victims just doing their jobs? Fuck you for defending them and fuck them. Wanna know who else were just "doing their jobs"? Nazis yet we still consider them human scum. Just so big your job doesn't absolve you of being a horrible person.
@@ccc4545
Really?
Giving the judge and families the middle finger was doing their jobs?
Laughing about the middle finger gesture, the autopsy reports, testimony, etc, was doing their jobs?
Really?
I agree with the father that they will ALL get theirs some day, because they're just as evil as that monster they were representing.
@@ccc4545 They did the job they needed to do and that's fine. But they were constantly disrespectful to the family and that's not okay.
I dont almost ever cry for human pain. But I have tears in my eyes for a fellow Father. Respect my friend who I have never met. May Father bring you and your family relief.
why did you feel the need to say that?
First 9 words are not necessary
@@DHU11 lol exactly. so weird.
Heartbreaking. Absolutely devastating. I'm so glad this poor man got to say these words to him. I respect so much the words he chose. I pray that his prediction comes true.
What a handsome father who wanted and loved his son unlike the unknown biological father of that thing. We love you papa and mama. Sister. Joaquin is here. He was there with you. Rip Joaquin. Y’all have captivated the hearts of everyone. 🧡 JOAQUIN IS KING!!! 👑
I mean absolutely no disrespect by saying this, but Joaquin's sister is one of the most beautiful people i've ever seen. I'm sad i had to see her this way, but she is breath taking either way.
@@maplebear6527 I thought the same thing she is a very beautiful women and Joaquin was also a very handsome man. Rip
His bio father might be gone. But damn that kid had parents who wanted him. Who cared for him. I have seen his sister's testimony, he escaped the fate he would've had, had he not been adopted.
@@maplebear6527 STUNNING!!! VICTORIA SECRET MODEL STUNNING! BOTH JOAQUIN AND HIS SISTER WERE GORGEOUS BEINGS!!! THEY CLEARLY GOT THEIR LOOKS FROM MAMA AND PAPA!!!
@@kryztyn127 and he still chose to do what he did. A sad waste.,
I can't imagine having to do what these parents are doing. But good on this guy...he didn't mince words at all!
Much respect to all the parents who stood up there to give a statement. I never want to know the strength it has taken these families to get through this. 🙏
@Allison Orwell Amen. Impressive how being hurt makes us justify our violence and hatred towards others. A respectable lashing out would also include the option for repentance and forgiveness. None of the parents offered it to him. Exposing them for the hypocrites they are. Healing wont begin until they forgive themselves for lashing out. Cruz is ill.... nothing that God can't fix or if not fix.... forgive.
@Allison Orwell comment history is sus
@@yousoskibbidy Oh, please these people are at liberty to express there anger and distain for that monster. Who senselessly murdered their loved ones in cold blood anyway they see fit. You can forgive Cruz if you want to, but don’t presume you have the right to berate and tell people what to do because you’re a so called Christian. That doesn’t afford you any superior rights.
@@peoplebeforeprofit forgiveness is written on our hearts. No matter the script....this ha nothing to do with that necessarily.....only that the human race MUST forgive and grow...... but you got me all figured out huh 🤤
@@yousoskibbidy You’re a quick read… Spread your self righteous platitudes where they’re wanted. That should be your takeaway, but your ego won’t allow for that. I forgive you though 🥴🤤
his speech is so impactful. i almost teared up.
Way to go Dad... I'm sure Joaquin was there with you while you annihilated that murderer bastard
I feel that out of all those that gave impact statements, this man is the scariest. Give him 5 minutes alone with his son's murderer in a locked soundproof room with no penalty of law for what happens within those 5 minutes.
He nailed it when he called Cruz a coward.
"you are going to die before me and I will celebrate when you die." Badass father, he has huge charisma.
The most powerful. Restrained. Accurate speech. A huge respect to this man. You told it "as it is" and your observations to this little POS are beyond description. I couldn't have done the same if faced with this.
Hes nothing without a gun. Glad this guy pointed that out.
“Nobody likes you, how does it feel?”
That was simple and powerful.
It's not so bad, nobody likes me either. and I didn't shoot anyone.
The BEST last statement❣️
I do love how these families have come together and bonded. I hope that they have many reunions not of mourning but,celebrations of their children! MAY GOD BE WITH THEM!
Beast mode to this man!!!! I loved and respected every single word he said. A father that loved his son!! I’m glad he was the last one to speak, he told the defense team exactly what they needed to hear, that no one cares about them! No one knew if the defense team had children or not, the victims parents were making a general statement to anyone that may have been parents. The defense team got so butt hurt they revealed who had kids with their stupid selves. Just like he said, they all of a sudden made the trial about them and their children. This showed how incompetent the defense team was, along with the “middle finger lady”. She’s lucky she didn’t get held in contempt!!! He is right, karma will come for them all in some way shape of form. It’s not a threat, it’s just a way of life. Karma is always present to those that do wrong, behave inappropriately, etc. And yes he is right, you should be afraid of him, because you don’t piss off a loving father that has had his child stolen from him. RIP to all the victims of the killer, you will not be forgotten. May the murder rot in hell! I pray that weak, pathetic, sad little animal gets teared apart limb from limb by the prisoners that are going to be his….best friends and steal his fame by becoming the one that killed the parkland murder!!!
Hes not an animal. That insults animals who are far superiour to this shit stain.
What a father ❤😢
Did your father have a pony tail??? and would he come to court wearing a Sex Pistols T shirt???
I love how restrained this poor father was, while speaking a very heartfelt truth. As for this group of public defenders, I have no words, no epithets, to describe how utterly low, utterly despicable, and utterly disgusting their actions have been throughout this trial. At the very least, they need to be investigated by whatever body governs lawyers in that jurisdiction. If it were up to me, they'd never practice law one more day. And, finally, kudos to Judge Scherer who had to navigate through this shocking madness.
As this man said, everybody saw their faces.I hope there is someone with nothing to lose out there.Because let's remember: they didn't do their job.They did something else.
Rofl guy below wanting them murdered, guy above acts like the judge didn't misunderstand the defense when the assistant mentioned children and also like she didn't fly into a temper tantrum.
Public defenders are supposed to fight as hard as possible for their clients. It's what keeps the united States LITERALLY running
I don’t know if I would be able to keep myself together if I was in his place. Very compelling speech by Joaquin’s dad. Hugs to him and hope he can continue his life somewhat normal!
this family is amazing. what a powerhouse
Very well said god bless Joaquin, his family and all of the families.
This is the only statement impact that nikolas Cruz has shown emotion too. He looks scared
He's in sheet terror wondering who this father knows in the system, that's going to have nicholas in the wrong place at the right time to get him offed. 😉
Isn't it so screwed up, that the only person a murderer ever cares about is themselves?
So glad he spoke !!! Well said Mr. Oliver !!!!
This man is an absolute legend.. you are a hero to us all.
U needed an A-R 15 to kill him because otherwise Joaquin would’ve beaten the shit out of you I hella love that line
You can tell he raised his kid right
That middle finger moment was a beautiful touch. Joaquin would be proud
My dad and you would’ve been very good friends, Mr. Oliver.❤
I have a feeling this guy knows someone
Shame on the jury.
One juror
1 activist juror had to ruin the death penalty
They gave him a life sentence. He will spend 23 hours of 24 inside a Cage 2x3 thinking about his mistakes and damn himself for it. Its a more suffering sentence. Its too Easy for him to die quickly.
Best for last. Smart to have him close. They all spoke amazingly. God bless you all 👼🏼💪🙏
Kudos to the Judge for letting this man have his say. Forget life in prison without chance of parole. Forget the death penalty. Give this guy 10 minutes alone with that sack of SH*T and justice would be served. DONE. I also hope the defense team NEVER forgets the way they shook in their boots as this man have them the finger.
I have a feeling this guy has some serious connections. I don't think Mr Cruz is going to have a very pleasant stay in prison for the little time he has left. Even protective custody can't protect you forever.
Thats not justice but revenge. If we allow this kind of Revenge than the system crashes and caos will reign. I'm a devoted christian and I dont believe in answering to evil with evil. He will root in a small cage for all his life.
Loved when he said you need to learn how to use the middle finger it’s heartbreaking the judge is right they will be ok as they have each other but nobody should have to go through what they have and are going through this 😢
Great way to end the impact statement portion of this trial, this father spoke the truth. Victims of perpetrators 🇺🇸
Sir, Gd bless you and your family. Thank you for speaking up. We love you.
Powerful words well spoken!!
Prayers to Victims & Family 🙏🙏
Very stern father. May the Lord heal their broken hearts.
The Ice in those words but the passion in his voice. Every word echoed! He spoke with CERTAINTY! When he said prison execution is going to be painful, slow, mythological…it was Karma foreshowing. You don’t f**k with our kids! Someone will steal your fame. 😳🥶
My condolences go out to all the families who lost their loved ones by this monster, he has no remorse for what he has done. I hope he suffers in prison justice is coming for him
This father said it the BEST!!!!!! God Bless all the victims and families
Joaquin couldn't have asked for a better father.
I HATE that this man is suffering. But I love what he is saying... Wish he got 10min alone with that PoS.
he would only need 2 min
Yes! Only then would justice be served
Cruz wants to smile. His face is not blank. His smirking at times.
Powerful for how soft spoken.
People that plan to killed, should get the Same Treatment he gave those kids, & adults. Period… You take a life, yours will be taken…
Karma always shows itself. Cruz will pay for this. It will come full circle one day.
God bless this man.
Maybe if your kid wasn't a bully they'd still be alive? Kids these days pick up on everybody and anybody sure they didnt deserve to die but these events did not happen for no reason
Half of these kids didn’t even graduate or know him they were all young and he was 19. He killed random freshman and sophomores for nothing
Well done! I hope these families find peace.
This Dad was soo excellent in his speach!! I dont think I've been witness to such an incredibly spoken statement!! My sincere & deepest sympathies for this Dad & his family & the other families, for having to experience & live through such a tragedy!!!
I’m soooooo sorry for his loss. I’m soooo sorry for everyone loss. My children are my world. I have no idea how they are this strong. I pray for them. The shooter the POS he is should have gotten the death penalty. We need to have these cowards be accountable for their actions.
Death penalty is too easy. He should rot in prison. Once the inmates hears about what he did. Oooh boy!!
The death penalty is almost an easy way out, let him live his entire life in hell
I'm so sorry for these families....to suffer a trial for so long and deal with the entire process including the bickering from the defense team
This man is a legend 🙌 👏
These poor parents
What an amazing man. He is a kind of father, all of us men should aspire to be. I wonder if that was Joaquin's tshirt his dad was wearing in his son's honor?
I give it 2 to 3 years before an inmate takes him out. Most likely a prisoner who already has van life. The don’t take kindly to child killers …it’s a bad thing in prison
Fly high Joaquin 🙏🙏🙏
The worst thing that could happen to a parent must be losing their kid. My heart breaks as i watch him deliver the hardest speech of his life. May God be with all the victims' families.
Beautiful tribute to Joachim and cogent argument describing the consequences for the murder
Don’t ever think that it can never happen to your family. Tragedies are uncalled for. 😢 This guy was nothing without his weapon.
Whether you are religious or not whatever "entity" placed our "Souls" in our bodies, I hope these prosecutors have to explain why they defended this disgusting human being and why they minimized the families of the victims to "it". I admire the strength of the parents to sit through this. I would NOT be able to show restraint. Absolute ADMIRATION and STRENGTH to all the victims.
Well they are still lawyers at the end of the day, sometimes it's not their choice of who to defend as defendants have the right to have an attorney. And sometimes they have to stoop so low in order to win their case even if the defendant is clearly in the wrong.
There IS a God in heaven who they WILL answer to, and it will be a literal and eternal hell for them as well as him.
@Allison Orwell
Are you actually nicholas?
Because from all your sickening comments, I have to assume you are.
Sick psychopath.
And I firmly believe some day, inmates will get their chance to literally destroy that little chit.
They are not the prosecutors. The prosecutors represented the families. They are the defense attorneys, public defenders that saved him from the death penalty. I do hope Mr. Oliver is right that it would have been better for him to have the death penalty.
This man loves his family more than can be explained.
A testament to what true men and women this family is. Joaquin would have help make this world a beautiful place.
Dad held his composure, but I bawled my eyes out for him.
Sending healing vibes to them and helping to keep Joaquin’s memory alive.
7:34 That swallow was VERY satisfying by the way. I hope Joaquin’s family sees this.
I don't understand why in this case it is not allow to the parents of the victims just punish that piece of shŪt with their own hands , nails , legs and teeth. It is an extreme case so punishment also should be extreme.
Public execution should be brought back for cases like this!
What the shooter put through to those parents is something beyond any explanation, and even harder to face your son ir daughter killer and not being able to exterminate him right there, is simple something that you must need to have so much self control, that parent is very strong on his emotions because he’s talking to his son killer, the one who took his precious child for absolutely no reason whatsoever as the so many others is really way too much! My respect to that man , only he knows as well as the others parents knows how they feel on the inside . May God gave them the strength to come to the acceptance of the great loss and to reinforce their faith in God 🙏
Sad for those families 😢
RIP JOAQUIN
Much love Joaquin rest easy hermano ❤
Those men in prison have children... he'll get what's coming to him.
theres nothing more dangerous in this world than a hurt father that is missing his child....everyone who reads this needs to understand thats the truth and may god help manuel oliver get his hands on this psy kid
God bless you so sorry for what that POS did,I could not control myself the way you did.You,ll always be an inspiration to me always and I consider myself and tough mean person,,,,,my hats off to you And your family.It was an honor to this clip.🙏
Karma!!! Defense don’t get triggered!
OH LORD help those families with your love and help them to heal their 🙏 pain.Only you can do it..💔
Idk why but The accent makes his speech 1000x more badass!!!!
Amazing show
This dad is so awesome.
And I believe he's right about not only nicholas, but those defense attorneys....karma is a b#tch!
The defense attorneys had a job to do. Geez, you’re not smart.
There’s no question about the guilt and this monster has no remorse! He won’t have any positive contributions to society so why does he get to live?!?!
Great words, and you are right: "We love Joaquin" 💛💙❤️
Un abrazo enorme desde España.
I think this father is absolutely right. Spot on.
How he kept his composure like that I have no idea....
