This kid is painfully embarrassing but what I’m even more shocked about is that there’s quite a few people in the comments believing him. That’s really worrying.
Painfully
Agreed!
They probably haven’t seen his cell phone vids describing what he was going to do and why.
I wouldn't say he is "normal" If this is normal then what is abnormal. I just can't see myself going into a school and taking innocent lives I can understand how people can kill out of anger or revenge but to go into a school and start shooting kids unprovoked? That's not a normal thing I've never had that thought come to mind
Why listen to the trolls?
he literally murdered 17 people and some of you are feeling bad for him, you should be thinking about the victims, he ruined so many lives, so many families, even the people who weren't injured, the trauma that the will have to deal with for the rest of their lives is horrific, HE is to blame, not his family, not the "voices" or the devil, HIM, he chose to pick up that gun and shoot 17 people. because he could. because he wanted to. stop feeling bad for him.
I'm with you... too many people are feeling sorry for this shooter and THAT IS WHAT HE WANTS. Don't give them the sympathy and attention they are craving.
I don't feel bad for the shooter, as soon as they pull the trigger they stop being human, though, Idk about this kid but so many are created not born, there are sick people in the world and instead of rooting them out or teaching love and kindness to eachother we let them create monsters. There is a sickness in an overpopulated world, we have to figure out where it starts and how to fix it.
Not just slap a bad guy label on the end result, look at how tf this keeps happening, 1% of dogs will go mad and attack without reason, atm its like 10% thats 9% more dogs going feral than there should be.
he is a lost soul. I do feel for him, and we need to understand what happened and why. He is a symptom of a lost world that is getting more and more lost every day. I have questions. I think more could have been discovered if the cop had not been so sure he knew all the answers while talking to him. He lost a chance to get so much more information. Never discount the spiritual as a reason or a cure.
@@donnadeal5506 he's a murderer
This detective is amazing. Imagine being a father and you have to interrogate someone who just killed over a dozen kids.

"The demon wants a lawyer now? Does the demon know a specific lawyer he wants to call?"
That's just priceless 😂
Lmfao, Not funny that’s why I’m laughing, of course wanting a lawyer is a right, Especially for ppl who committed crimes especially as severe as this kid. His life is ruined now, Yes, because of his decision to get revenge as a bullied kid, is what he did justified, well not really unfortunately but at least try to understand. He sounds defeated & never thought about the consequences due to his situation as a victim, The Victim being in trouble isn’t a new thing & doesn’t only apply to this case
@@rayanhuss5952 don’t defend a criminal. Even though he was bullied doesn’t give him the right to take the lives of innocent souls.
@@rayanhuss5952 no. absolutely not. I am not gonna let you defend him for this. its sickening... AND it was near me. about 20 min away from me. please...
You all have got to be kidding me. He is clearly trying his best to put on a show here with his fake “voices” please stop feeling sorry for someone who pre meditated innocent kids being slaughtered. It’s beyond disgusting. The detective is doing an excellent job here and doesn’t believe his BS either
Yep, it's bs, he didn't for the attention. He was mad at the world because he didn't have what others had so he took it out on school kids knowing people would remember him for a long time.
Even if he's lying only a sick person would do what he did. Something is definitely wrong with this person. Sadly a person with mental illness can snap at any time! I'm not at all on his side I'm just saying something is wrong with a young person wasting his life like this. To all the families that lost a loved one may God keep you strong. 🙏❤
My thoughts exactly. I'm so tired of these malingering killers trying to escape punishment for their crimes.
There’s no real feeling sorry for him. It’s just sad a parent didn’t do what was needed to raise a sane young man- being a parent is the top priority in life.
My thoughts exactly a good detective can see this right away
This Detective is pretty amazing. He isn't aggressive, not condoning .. asking common sense questions
@zuck diggerman Precisely
Cool ring tone detective
If you are interested, he is following the classic "Reid technique", just a little out of order in certain places. He's also implemented a small amount of the PEACE method in certainly places (I don't know if he knew it at the time), but that very unusual in the states. The Reid technique is being phased out by almost all countries bar the states, so I think this guy has gone out of this way to implement both methods, which makes him much better than most.
@zuck diggerman The other end of torture is the PEACE method, which the US does not use. The US is the only country firmly set on sticking long-term with the Reid technique, even though it has a much higher rate of false confessions with the young and mentally ill (In this case his age may apply, his mental state does not as a personality disorder).
The interrigator is takeing advantage of his weekness i am way too strong without medication he couldent do that to me iyd never commit a crime anything like that but iyd be jumping frogs happy
This kid is a liar. There are no voices. He just mentioned that to make an excuse for his actions. Bottom line, he was a miserable kid, that had a fascination with guns, has no friends, and he hated society because his life was not going anywhere.
he barely even knew anything about guns lmao
This guy’s ringtone absolutely killed me 💀
the ringtone 🤣🤣
What was it
Unprofessional af!
It's almost ''mission impossible'' to interrogate someone who only would say ''I can't remember'' and act insane.
Mission Impossible, I think.
There was a recording from the shooter, days before the killing. In the taping, he described what he was going to do, the gun he was going to use, how many people he would kill, and how famous he would become. If one is having auditory hallucinations, there will not be this much planning involved, it would be more spontaneous. His mannerisms in this video presents as one who is acting out of guilt, not with psychosis. Obviously, he is disturbed in some way, to do what he did. However, knowing between right and wrong doesn't appear to be lacking.
He still could be a Schizophrenic. The guy who did that shooting in the pancake house was. He should have been arrested long before, but the school did not want to tarnish their reputation.
@@gojobuddy in court they said he only had depression anxiety and not presenting the case as one with a chronic mental illness, cause for the killing.
@@gojobuddy NO HES NOT SCHIZO DONT MAKE YOU EVIL PSYCHOPATHY DOES
antisocial personality,
Not true
After 1 minute I'm already done with this kid, respect for how calm the cop stayed
Yea me too.
Why?
You missed the best part, from: 2:15:56
@@jasonfuqua4284Why? Are you serious? After all what happened, you asking "why?"?
This Detective is a BSO Detective with the ( Homicide Division ). He retired from FLPD after a Stellar Career with a impeccable reputation. He has been in LAW ENFORCEMENT for over 30 plus years. They don't come any better than him. I believe at one time he worked with VCU ( VIOLENT CRIMES UNIT ) at FLPD. I have known him since 1990 which is 32 years. You could not meet a nicer and more dedicated man. He has had nothing but the best things said about him. The most no nonsense person you could ever hope to meet. Very friendly and serious too. Tough but Fair. He actually listen to people. I could go on and on but I won't. I have always been one of his biggest fans. Everyone loves him.
definitely a kind soul
Totally agree John Curcio is an excellent police detective he’s firm but he’s fair and really intelligent of doing his job I would make a good friend to him
Saw his interrogations of the xxxtentacion killers, very impressive
@jonescrusher1 got a source for that interrogation? Would to see more Curcio's work
So patient, even tempered, even when suspect says shocking things, Detective remains calm, even, non reactionary. His down to earth interrogation draws the suspect out of his shell.
That detective deserves a five star service. He was the best interrogator I’ve ever seen. He was compassionate, patient, understanding, kind, nonjudgemental, and showed empathy. I thought he was a therapist, he act more like a psychologist. Kind loving soul!!!
It’s not that altruistic. It’s his job to get people to talk
Honestly takes more sociopathy to be a detective like this man is than all of those very nice things you had to say lmao. He's pulling off some very sociopathic behaviors effortlessly.
So true. Good point.
The detective is great 👍
@@hankhill3417 you probably haven’t seen other interrogation videos that’s why u say that. He is there to ask questions only not to dig deep n show compassion.
Ladies & gentlemen, this is what it looks like when a sane person trys to impersonate an insane person.
He was very calculated & methodical in his actions. This is not what psychosis looks like.
Yup I get that amber heard vibes of lying and gaslighting from him. He is aware there are cameras and he wants to show he is mentality unstable so he can get a lower punishment and some sympathy
This fool is sane in your book?
Absolutely right
I don't believe a sane person could do such a thing i believe he's a an evil monster who deserves everything that's coming to him. We need identify all the root causes of what creates such monsters. One of these issues in this multi variant problem is something known as "the boy crisis", there's a great Ted talk about this issue.
This creep its crazy obviously but not insane
May the people who passed away Rest In Peace and my deepest condolences to their families and friends.

Bruh soon I read this comment it started ringing lol 😂
It's crazy that someone this young would choose to ruin his life like this intentionally. It was a nice day in Parkland, sunny, and he was a free man. Anything was possible. Things change in life. But he chose darkness and prison for nothing. It's bizarre.
Just comes to show the devil never sleep’s. I honestly also feel bad for his parent’s…imagine how mentally tortured they will forever be with hundreds of questions of what they did wrong or how they could have prevented.
Demons are real and our cultures misunderstanding of it is a serious issue. These things are only confusing when you think demons aren’t real and God doesn’t exist. Jesus is the only way and we need to fight against spiritual darkness.
Well said brother,refreshing to see someone that isn't blinded ,today most just use the name of Jesus as a cuss word when he is very much alive and the answer to all their problems.And yes ,demons are just as real as you and me ,the Bible clearly states that our war isn't against flesh and blood but against satan and the demons .People only see the physical things happen but don't realize that there is a spiritual war going on behind the scenes.
You dont understand mental illness
@@RT-qz5ci stop falling for the bs these sick people spew.. religion is just another thing used by scared sick people to feel better that we all have to die one day and it comes to an end.. don’t sit here and agree with this kid that demons are the reason he did what he did.. no Jesus would save him and no demon can force anyone to harm another person. He is a sick and scared individual with the mental capacity of a 7 year old that was told no. You people that try to blame sick actions like this on anything but the person committing these atrocious acts are what’s wrong with the world…🤦♂️
His brother said some powerful words. I hope his brother lives a great life.
I hope zach can visit cruz the last time, if he does receives the death penalty knowing once his day come it will be the last for him and his brother to see the person he grow up with gone. I kinda do feel sad if it does happen. Zach shoulded treat him with more honor and love in his life
also only 17 years old amazing person from what ive seen.
Jeez, that part where his brother came in almost killed me as a father. It was like he then realized what he did and I believe that sobbing with his brother was real. I know the guy killed a lot of people, and I'd hate him if one of my kids were one of his victims, but we have GOT to learn how to identify and address mental illness in this country or this crap is just going to continue.
I feel so bad for his brother, Zach. You can see and hear the pain in his voice. That poor guy… you know he is so genuinely at a loss and he was there for his brother and he wants answers and it was heartbreaking to hear him say “what would mom think?” right away. “I told you after mom died that I had your back”. Feeling like it was partly his fault, I can’t imagine the guilt he feels and it’s not his fault but he will always feel that way. Just another thing that monster did.
I feel like he was trying to tell him he was sorry, because he wasn’t getting any answers when he asked him why. He was making peace with his brother and himself.
So sad. 😢
I beg you pardon but in your country you have just the word "monster" ?
@@Keith_M00N66 I’m not sure your question. But if I’m understanding it, yes, that word exists on its face.
OHHH BOOO WHOOOO.
NO EXCUSES !!
my great grandma raised me, my parents were drug addicts, i was bullied in school almost everyday due to my issues, i was crieng everyday, never had friends, didnt want to eat lunch sometimes because i wanted to avoid people i had nobody to sit with, i felt so alone .. i still have plenty of issues and i never harmed anyone! No excuses!
@haleystarwars4life. That’s a hard way to grow up. I understand bullying, I had to fight for my sister who was bullied but I was tall & large & learned to fight. I’m sorry you didn’t have anyone to help you or just be a friend. Keep the faith know you gained strength & had to be strong mentally to make it through. Sending blessings for happiness & love in your life. 🙏❤️
I respect ppl like you. The broken ones. Who know that there is still good in the world and hold a good heart. I am that way
@@realironfist it really depends people deal with things differently we make our own choices
It must be hard being ugly
Females tend to turn our anger and pain and trauma inward and become depressed. Males tend to turn their pain into anger and in rare cases with these psychopaths and sociopaths they kill others thinking that will somehow make them feel powerful and happier.
Amazing how the detective has to stay so calm with him knowing what he did.
That’s his JOB. They are supposed to stay calm. He’s paid to be professional yet many are just paid to get the praise they do not even care of the people they step over and leave out
@@heleneller7412 Paid to get the praise??? What does that even mean?
@@heleneller7412 except many paid professionals would have NOT have been able to talk to this guy this effectively. WOOSH. fk off
Yeah I don't think I could stay calm interrogating this guy either! Or call him Buddy! I think I'd be more Dirty Harry about dealing with this little Punk murderer!
Him crying fake tears when the cop gets water and saying loud enough "just kill me" is so pathetic!
@@Thunderbyrd. i know op is being kind with the praise but yes he is trained to be calm, because if he isnt he wont get answers and may get into legal trouble himself. He has probably encountered far worse ppl than nikolas
That detective deserves a gold medal for being so brilliant.
How this investigator can keep interrogating him without beating the crap out of him amazes me
?
Because he is a trained professional. Lol 😂
i know how you feel mate what happens when the camera not on him he will get a slap mate
Its called being a professional.
Why would anyone want to beat him?
Now the penalty has been delivered. And his "victimization" somehow saved him from the death penalty. After watching this video, I further understand why the families are so angry. And like many say in the comments, this detective is a pro, the best. He nailed it! I am amazed at how the detective walks that fine line between empathy/compassion and hard-nosed/no BS dialogue---total pro!!
The detective is amazing. This is an absolute tragedy everyway you break it down. God Bless.
Your god blessed 34 times that day. Plus the relatives and friends.
Being bullied and a bad childhood again is not a reason to kill on innocent people that had nothing to do with your pain.
This is a top-tier interrogator. Everything he says is composed. For all of the questions, he either knows the answer, or is looking for a type of answer. He is steering this perp along a road but in total control. He is keeping just the right side of playing the overbearing Dad and an understanding uncle. This cop is a pro.
Yes he did some other famous cases like the murder of XXXTentacion
What a respectful , polite and calm officer. The way he talked to this monster was always respectful with all dignity .
That’s literally any interrogation unless it’s a cop killer or something like that.
They need information to make their case and yelling at them usually doesn’t help. Especially for sensitive losers like this chump.
He never once asked about the people he killed and injured. It was a "poor me, I need attn". I feel sick for his brother, the detective and every person harmed by his actions. 4 years later and a 4 month trial, and now Uvalde....
Uvalde cant have a detail information or reasoning due to the guy getting shot
Yep and still America has done zip about getting rid of guns… How many more innocents have to die before America acts?!
Why would he ask? He already knew he killed ppl
What does "and now uvalde" have to do with this?
@@redoksunflower Because if you are actually feeling guilty about what you did, or if you actually were under the influence of a "demon" and not in control of yourself, you would be instead asking about the safety of the people who were shot but survived or those who at the time may have been in critical condition.
I think this detective is really great at his job. He’s so good at being a grounding force, and not getting carried away into whatever delusions Nikolas may have. He’s compassionate, without being unrealistic about the situation. It’s such an awful situation… I’m just pointing out how good the detective is.
and you're right!
Yep
Oh Darling...you need to watch the JCS version...its called What pretending to be crazy looks like.....you can thank me later lol
He sucked. Still sucks
@@raintree3383 Agreed!
Hi PD, your so blessed, I love your videos it's so good to know how people act,and what people think about,I learned a lot about this, is like a class room ,because there is a lot of people that think like that,and it help me, to see the red flags,in people's actions,and what they say to be careful,and be alert,to your surrounding,I want to thank you for this video's PD, keep up the good work,we love you,
I think one of the hardest pains to deal with and to feel guilt and shame is to be forgiven/loved even when you’ve done the absolute worse act imaginable. His brother showed immense strength, courage, maturity and love. Even to someone who doesn’t deserve it.
I feel so bad for his brother 😓
I feel sorry for brother
I think need help to remember
Just as Jesus did for us ❤
@@jennifers2017😂 crackpot
I love that he is uncomfortable, barefoot and cold. This is what jail was intended for.
Yes.people complain about the circumstances of us prisons.but it’s like that so u won’t come back..if u have that option
Have you ever even imagined what it would be like …. In similar shoes…. Similar circumstances…. How would you be the Nicholas Cruz “character?” I say this because until one truly REALIZES that he is taking punishment for this OBE HORRIBLE TERRIFYING ACT THAT TOOK LIVES YOUR NEIGHBORS CHILDREN? How would you be? What would you do to attempt to help this from not actually being acted out? I urge anyone to be Nicolas Cruz and see if your view changes… judgement? Every step is important. His heart is pure safrice, reguardless how you see this… I feel he sees this as the only way to help society. This is needless and only can be stopped by ensuring our children have the proper understanding of who they reveal themselves to become and who they also once was…. It only takes one bad day for worlds to shatter. Things one cannot take back. The fact that his faith is strong. My heart knows his Soul. Fact. Everyone must face their consequences that they act upon … good and bad. Showing compassion and empathy is how as a society heal… make it safe for others to see and discover who they are. This doesn’t mean no punishment. It’s the acceptance of the punishments that has ya all baffled. He does not deserve death yet… that’s not your choice to make. That’s between him and Creator. I do not want him to allow the families victims to decide his fate.. although I see his maturity. Yet there is no way a young man will put his self on trial in front of the world… and it NOT BE FOR SOCIETY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE OF THE COMMUNITY. That is not how God desires it to be . Yet if you choose, which is your right as well… THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE ALL MIGHTY. Pharaoh chose to punishment Jesus … why… that’s what the people chose. Hitler was elected by the people also. Moses ordered more than 250,000 followers to be killed. And ya all desire to hate one individual so much when it’s OUR FAULTS for pointing fingers at everyone but yourselves and the corrupt educations of the school kids. Wake up! Are you paying attention yet?
They left him in there for 4hrs on his own too. 👍
No, it isn't.
Are you a sadist?
It’s amazing how he goes from non-verbal to self harm to hearing voices ( trying to say he’s crazy and the voices made him do it ) confused, trying to get out of those cuffs 🤔🤔🤔🤔…what most fail to realize if you’re going to be crazy, you’ve got to play crazy the whole time 😂😂😂😂…
Seems to me anybody that kills 17 people is crazy in and of itself because sane people don't do such things
When the dudes mission Impossible ringtone went off I cracked up
People pretending to be mentally ill make me physically ill.
You don't think a guy who murders 17 people and wounds another 17 is mentally ill? Wow ! What would it take for you to think someone was sick?
@@jx14abyI was thinking the exact same thing with her comments, like WTF! and 16 people have liked her comment too! WTF!
@@JC-vq8eq he's clearly pretending to mimic specific mental illnesses. if he has anything at all it would be a personality disorder, and that wouldn't include any of the symptoms he describes. so yes he's mentally ill in a sense, but he's still pretending to mimic specific symptoms. he intentionally hyperventilated to try to start a panic attack. there's nothing sincere about what he's doing to those of us who actually have the symptoms he is mimicking. he suggests he started hearing voices 15 years ago! he was 4! this manifests around 15-17 or mid 30s. he's a liar. and one voice wouldn't drive a schizophrenic to psychosis, it would likely be many voices and the voices specifically make the person extremely paranoid. i think someone who experiences schizophrenia could explain it better than me though.
I believe he is mentally ill no one in a normal state of mind would do what he did!
You are mentally ill as well, if you can't recognize that he is mentally ill
Does the voice know an attorney? This detective is savage!!!’ And amazing
Literally amazing
I’m generally against the death penalty... this has been the first time I believe that this is exactly what this young man deserves.
I say that shamefully, as I struggle with feeling this way.
I’ve been watching this case play out in court, heard from the parents about their beloved children, whose lives this man snuffed out before their time....
I cried during some of the testimonies, as I watched for any ounce of remorse from this Monster-none.
The survivors, and witnesses, broke my heart.
I have zero sympathy for him. Absolutely zero.
I feel exactly the way you do. Well said! As a mother I can’t fathom why anyone would slaughter young children and have the nerve to walk out of building and head to get a cool drink! Really!! No the parents have the life sentences … he shouldn’t have the same!
There is something really wrong this person. I have similar views on capital punishment but i wouldn't weep for this guy.
The way I see it, if we can kill innocent babies why the heck can’t we kill guilty people who are guilty without a doubt. No need to keep them here. Either use them in heath experiments, or get rid of them. Even if they find religion, move it along and maybe they will do better in the next life.
@Lateasha Smith
Yes, yes, Patty. In the trial , the prosecutor goes over the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. He walked up on people who were down and wounded, he then executed them. Victims were shot, some 9-12 times. Example, the Asian boy was down already and shot 12 times.
That makes you no better than him. Violence is never the solution.
Idc how much the kid was bullied or left out or teased or whatever. There is no excuse to pick up a gun and end the lives of others.
I was bullied everyday in school, never fit in, cried alot.. i was bullied for my problems i had.. i felt like i had no friends, i was angry at people, but i could not see myself ever doing this!
The fact that during this time family members are looking for their already dead loved one is just a heartbreaking thought
First of all my heart goes out to all the families that were so affected by this senseless act. Please don't be sorry for him he knew what he was doing when he picked up that gun in my opinion I feel he should get the death penalty. It won't bring those victims back but I feel that's justice
Well said.
Why shouldn’t we be able to mourn the victims and have empathy for this young man at the same time. If you’re looking for someone to blame you need not look any further than our law enforcement and mental health systems. There were numerous chances to get him the help he needs but he was passed around like he had the plague. They might just as well have planted a bomb in that school
Wouldn’t keeping him alive be the worst punishment tho because he’ll have to think about his actions everyday? But idk he’s crazy so I doubt he even cares about what he did. It’s just messed up all the way around. He needs to be punished more than the death penalty
I could not have said it better, C K. I feel like he knew exactly what he was doing and is only behaving this way because he got caught and his life of freedom is gone. I know this might sound cruel but I think he should get a death sentence for each life he stole... but I think he should get executed for each life, get brought back to life and executed again...17 times. My heart absolutely broke for each family when I was watching each of the victim impact statements in court. I also don't think he should have been able to waive his right to go back to the school when the jury went this past week. So tragic.
This kid's life was truly f'd up. He had no family who wanted him after his parents died, he was already screwed up before that, he wasn't loved, and he clearly has major mental health issues that were ignored even after the school knew about it. The system failed him and every person who died that day. I find that terribly sad. It was preventable if only people did their jobs. There was a history of his terrible behavior. He was on the radar. There's many more like him out there that fall through the cracks. Our system is terrible at dealing with mental health.
“Did the voice just tell you to get an attorney” hahaha I love this detective
Ultimate coward. He killed 17 people and wounded 17 but couldn't kill himself. He left his rifle with 23 rounds still in the mag and 5 fully loaded magazines with 40+ rounds each. He didn't have the guts to put himself out of his misery.
And?
Thank you so much, this was (morbidly) riveting
The detective is really good here, making light of his fake emotional play acting, being casual and telling him to speak up like he’s being a shy little child. Hard to put on an act when you’re not being taken seriously.

He heard what he needed to hear from his brother way too late. He probably needed to hear it from his parents too and never did. But you could tell the emotional release when his brother told him he loved him and hugged him that he longed for that forever.
He had a loving and caring upbringing with parents that loved him. Quit making excuses for a killer. You sound crazy.
@@isrulius I know what you are saying but a loving and caring upbringing with parents that loved him is not what he felt in his mind. On the outside, he may have had a loving and caring upbringing but he didn't see it that way. If you are on the outside looking in, it's different.
Still no reason to hurt ANYONE ELSE!!!!
@@isrulius TY❤️
@@lola1372 Exactly, there's people who are in far worse conditions then Nikolas, yet they don't let their circumstances dictate their futures. Instead they better their lives. The amount of excuses that people are making is insane and sick!
Honestly, feel bad for the brother because he watch his brother took away 17 innocent lives and he is so lost at words of what he has done something so horrible.
2:19:02 His deliberate crying to make people feel sympathy for him, while he knows he will never see freedom ever again, makes me appreciate my life and my freedom a lot more. He had everything going for him in his life. His life was NOT bad before the incident. He could’ve found happiness in his life, but he chose not to by doing what he did. He took his life for granted. A week after the incident he probably felt better, until he sat in the court and realized his poor decisions resulted in no more freedom, and no hope of life getting better.
EH….DASAWAHHBAHAHRAHEH

He still had issues that needed to be addressed, and even worse he had no coping skills on how to deal with them maturely. just because he had money and lived in a nice house doesn’t mean that a persons life is perfect.
His brother, Zach is amazing. He was being more mature than his brother, he was trying to be understanding, and loving without dismissing what Nikolas did.
Come on. He’s screwing with him. Which he deserves. But he is enjoying taunting him.
Trained professionals need to evaluate him, victims need justice, the people who love him need to face the reality of his crimes, along with their broken hearts, the rest of us need to deal with the threat of homicidal people.

Painful to watch. What he thought was a solution to his loneliness and isolation actually deepened the problem for him. He devastated the lives of many families and gave himself no chance of rehab in the outside world. When we put irrationality with a gun there's unbelievable chaos and suffering. The death penalty wouldn't have stopped him because he'd have thought he'd never get caught. Kids like this will keep turning up. This almost never happens in western Europe where gun control is much much tighter.
that's because america has more crazy people....its not the guns, its the crazy person with a gun. /s
It’s too late now to tell him all the things he needed to hear & feel as a child. Product of an abusive environment. He’s given one life yes! & he took that one life from so many. Massacred many! May justice prevail

Kind of clever how the detective had him speak up on the premise he had hard hearing so the microphone on the camera could pick it up.
The microphone is pretty sensitive. You could hear the person he was on the phone with so I could believe he was speaking too low for the detective to hear
Hands up the inspector is a extreme exemplary example to us all amazing man there are not enough words to explain how amazingly he dealt with this and how strong he was
maybe he should have researched how people with violent delusions/hallucinations or just straight-up sociopaths act before he tried this stunt. This is so transparent and forced it's laughable.
Agreed! Almost like he was too lazy to figure out what his MO would be.
It's infuriating!
And while Florida luckily has the death penalty, they let him enter all this BS into the record, setting up for an appeal. An expensive appeal!
This kid is a mess. And now a criminal.
Again, thank goodness Florida has the death penalty!
He is developmentally disabled a bit so probably didn’t occur to him to research how he should act, only had the idea that he should act that way to get out of trouble.
He is faking. The first time the detective left the room Cruz realized his situation and pretended to put a gun to his head in frustration. That is not the attitude of some psychopath who is following the command of evil voices, that is the attitude of someone who knows he had F’d up and has heavy consequences heading his way. The fact that he played games with his memory, and hid the truth was an amateurish attempt at pretending to be mentally incapacitated. I don’t think the detective believed him for a moment. There is evil in the world and Nikolas Cruz is living proof.
Well he's telling you he heard voices to kill. What do you think that is? Do YOU believe in God? If yes then how does he work on you? You learn from him through the Bible. How do you learn about Satan? The internet, the violence, the murder on TV, video games etc. You can be influenced by the choices you make, some who study the Bible cannot be influenced by Satan especially at this age because they've taken on Jehovah's qualities even if it's still not perfect.
When these kids say ' voices' you better believe it. Notice they didn't hear them anymore once they have achieved some death, the demons let go. On to the next one. It's all about the blood. That's what they wanted here, because they know God is the life giver of it all.
Satan challenged God's right to rule in Eden, with lies. He still roams the earth now. This is a result of it.
"The fact he played games with his memory, and hid the truth"... wow. Deep insight. Quite interesting you know how it's done, I do too, and it's not good.
Mark 4:22-23 (KJV) For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Yeah, he will not have the option of ending it himself. I believe in death penalty so no. Not you, the state will take care of it.

It’s very informative to see the performance he puts on when he thinks no one is watching.
He knows he's being watched when no one's in the room. It's all part of his crazy act.
Funny thing is it's not even crazy. I'd be slapping myself too if I just shot a bunch of innocent people.

He's not worried about the law what they are going to do. He's only worried about the demon's. He's not putting on a show!
Life gets better and there’s somebody for everybody. This world needs more kindness and love.

🙏🌏🌹🔥✝️🗝️
Not being funny, but if he was really suicidal he would've shot himself afterwards, NOT bought himself a bloody slurpy from Subway.
LOL
He's not that crazy, that slurpy probably was on sale 😂
This kid isn’t crazy nor does he have any intentions of hurting himself, he’s too cowardly to do so. He’s just full of anger for whatever reasons and wanted to take it out on others, probably because he’s a social misfit who couldn’t make friends or get girls to take interest in him.
I work with mentally ill....self abusive ones...... when they hit self, they hit to TRULY BLEED....What an act!!!
One idea is that he did it for the notoriety. He says something along these lines in his video announcing the murders.
He takes pills and tries to cut himself to kill himself, but he had bullets. No way
You are absolutely right. All he is, is a pathetic loser, and misfit.
He has a lot of psychological issues. Autismy anger issued development delays emotional disabilities. He was bullied and this insane step was meant to be his revenge
Great quality vision and sound!
This detective played the 'concerned father ' role perfectly.
I think out of everyone, I feel horrible for the families affected by losing their kids, but also his brother, who obviously cares for Nikolas and now also lost him in the process. It’s a sad situation all around.

It’s so crazy the difference between his demeanor in his interrogation to all the way through trial and sentencing like the soulless monster he is … he seem to have no issue going on video /social media laughing and telling his plan of attack then all of a sudden his whole memory’s erased in the interrogation trying to fake hyper ventilating over the detective askin his phone number .. great horrible acting 🤬 Rest In Peace to all the victims, watching their families speak brought me to tears … the defense team was a joke too! “No one understands what they’ve had to endure during this trial”???? What?? Try living with out your loved ones for years to come when the second this animal goes into jail whatever they’ve had to endure is now over these family’s also now have to endure a life sentence .. one of the most disturbing things I’ve watched yet 😢
He's an actor. He knows full well that the detectives see everything on camera. He wanted them to think he was insane.But he's a cold-blooded killer
When he recorded himself saying he was planning an attack, he looked very determined and aware of what he was gonna do. He didn't look like this at all, therefore he's starting to realize what he's gotten himself into. I'm sure when he was planning everything, on his mind, he thought everything would go in a different way and he'd get away with it. He knew what he was gonna do and knew it was quite wrong, but someway or another this guy thought all of that wasn't gonna bring him real trouble. The best thing authorities could do is to keep him away from society, since they'd be in danger!
He's finding out the difference between thought and reality. A lot of people don't realize the full weight of consequence before it hits them. For whatever reason they disconnect the end result from the action until they come face to face with it. Unless they are a true psychopath in which case they dony care regardless.
@@chrislastname1994 you couldn't say it better!!!
He thought he would of been killed...or kill himself but he chickened out. There was no plan to spend the rest of his life in jail or being put to death after 20 years on death row.
@@dixie6294 My thought exactly. The fact that before the interview started he already says stuff like "kill me now" and he mentions during the interview having at some point tried to kill himself. I genuinely believe he fully expected to die right there and then after his work was done (so to say).
there's no way he thought he'd get away with it. i don't think he thought that far.
This case hurts my heart for everyone.
His mission impossible ringtone 😂
After watching him and his brothers reaction I balled my eyes out! That felt like the only genuine reaction so far . I felt so much pain when he broke down when he's brother said he loved him. It's clear he never felt loved or in a long time Anyway. Still not an excuse but dang that really pulled out my heart
you balled?
It's not fair that the 17 victims will never hear i love you, get a hug or receive forgiveness ever again but this psycho does.
Hating people with mental illness is like hating bugs. I guess it makes you feel better, but it's useless. This kid should be in an institution, not a prison.
He knows that he is being videod, so of course he beats himself up so the camera can catch that.
@TrapGodisKing leave the person who posted this alone brother. You are not God.
"Did the demon tell you to get an attorney? Does the demon know any attorneys?" I kept a straight face because of the tragic circumstances, but it took some effort.
Anyone who did NOT watch the victim impact statements really should. Max Schachter, whose son was murdered, did an excellent deep research on the amount of therapy this killer was given over YEARS of his entire childhood. The killer was offered more help than anyone I ever heard of and yet it did not deter his love to kill and for attention. Aside: What if an exorcist was brought in; wonder what would happen?
He had so much treatment that he never had a psychologist, so explain to me what help he received?
Here's my take on this and I could be wrong: I grew up when video games were just pixels and you had to use your imagination to enjoy them. Video games are hyper realistic now and nearly everyone of a certain age grew up playing those realistic versions. First person shooter games have given players the thrill of killing therefore some are desensitized to killing and death. I remember an older friend (someone who didn't have video games growing up) came over years ago right after the Columbine tragedy and she was shocked at the realism of video games being played by my husband. Just think how much graphics have advanced since the late 1990's?
I love how his breathing suddenly stopped became normal after the detective implied how ridiculous it was he was hyperventilating over a phone number.
It’s a trauma reaction. Yes even the ones who know what they did have trauma. I understand him.

So many thoughts about this, as the circumstances of this murder spree were tragic from every angle. One thing stands out: it has been proven and so is well known that those who desire to torture/kill animals eventually desire to kill bigger prey. There is never an excuse for ignoring this sign.
Report people who torture animals, and put them on an animal torturer registry, and don’t let them live near farms, zoos, pets, wildlife…
He seems legitimately "disturbed"
vs intelligent enough to fake this interview.
But if so, why do voices that want you to kill yourself, make you instead kill others?
Im thinking a few things.
One is that there is satan working on people to influence evil.
(satan comes to "steal, kill and destroy")
I think current culture craziness, perversions and corruption... And virtual reality violence as entertainment... influence a disturbed mind to copy or go further.
Animals? How about people?!
@@hon.mr.ronburgundyiiiesq.2096 The early red flag of animal killing/ torture should have been addressed. Ignoring it allowed him to exist under the radar until his mental issue progressed to the point that he planned and executed his murder spree.

I don’t feel sorry for him at all. It’s kinda hard to have empathy for him when he’s playing games. He’s clearly trying to manipulate by not speaking up or by acting as though he doesn’t understand. Sometimes people act sorry you can see how shaken they are. He’s just being a jerk. My heart goes out to all those poor victims and their families.
he killed many students injured many he planned it for years before his mom died and he wanted it he calculated for it.

So he’s got plenty of words in the videos he did before the shooting but now all of a sudden he has no words and he’s super quiet and has no memory?? This is all an act!
Watching the sentencing trial now and seeing him try to hurt himself just ticks me off. Hearing the coroner's discuss the wounds and how they had defensive ones and close contact. This guy needs to rot forever.
For real. He can kill people tragically but can barely scratch himself. That’s selfish asf

Every time you hear the demon, just light up a blunt...amen, brother
This is a chilling thought that just a few hours before this video was taken 17 people still had their lives & this guy had his whole future ahead of him. This guy deserves everything he gets but he's just put himself in a situation that he cannot ever undo. His life will forever be spent in the hands of institutions. Just in an instant his days of being free are gone. I can't imagine ever being in that situation. I'm sure he will feel this pain he's caused all of his victims in the hereafter.
Hopefully he gets the death penalty. After hearing how he walked up to kids and shot them repeatedly with the barrel of the gun against their bodies, he needs to be on death row. I had no idea the extent and h loved ever minute of it.

And again. 17 times over. No “voices” were telling him anything. He knew exactly what he was doing. He knew exactly what was going to happen.
