School shooter's past 911 calls released

- Before Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people at his former high school in Florida on February 14, law enforcement officials received several calls from people concerned about the young man's guns and violent behavior. One caller said Cruz planned "to shoot up" an unnamed school.
Why didn't they at least flagged him as a possibility of a threat????
Sara Elias they probably did you dunce
Because people threaten other people with guns all the time; it does not end this way.
He was flagged repeatedly, some scumbags that were elected gutted the ability to perform proper background checks when buying firearms.
Also literally the first bill trump signed was one that removed the checks for severe dangerous mental illness, which probably was the case for this kid. I'm sure you can guess who voted to move that bill forward.
because he is white? LOL no brainer!
LOL
The kid never got the help he needed, despite many warning signs. I'm not trying to defend him, but it's definetley just as much as society's fault for being ignorant as much as it is his.
I,II defend him,,,he was pushed to far,,by too miny peopIe,,,way to fast for his mind to keep up,,,
True. Tragic
How about ban guns like australia did? Nah, that would be too easy.
He's a fuckin' dweeb who thought he'd be famous killing 20 people.
kfc chan JUST as much society’s fault? Society is at fault sure, but he shot the gun. He made the plan, he executed the plan. Actions have consequences. Killing people has consequences. Us not fully understanding what creates a school shooter mentality, or not fully understanding how to implement the necessary changes, too has consequences. Our fault is that we do not get to every shooter before they act. It is the shooters fault for acting on it. There is ALWAYS a choice. All are at fault, the fault is not equal. It is our responsibility to learn from tragedies. It is not to accept equal responsibility for these tragedies. We have a responsibility to change I believe.
If a family gets a divorce, that is a tragedy for their children. Am I to say, the kids are EQUALLY at fault for it? No, I would be an absolute asshole. I would be foolish to say kids do not bring added stress to a family. Everyone has a piece in play, but just as it is ultimately up to the parents to divorce, it is ultimately up to the shooter to pull the trigger
Remember who the victims are. Millions of people go through hard times too but you choose to be bitter or better. To be better you have to be stronger. Simply Unexcusable killing 17 unarmed kids but still gov should investigate what meds he was on and possible side effects from those meds.
you guys obviously don’t understand
rising who I know right
Nia Thompson Did you seriously just say autistic people cannot feel empathy?? Don’t come at people with that “honey” shit you sound dumb as fuck
Kayla J honestly though people these days..
Kayla J spay baby Kayla ily
The system failed him. And FBI failed those kids. He is mentally ill, showed signs of mentally unstable occurrences, have occasional conflicts and brush through with the police and no one did shit. He doesn't need to be put in a prison, he needs to be in a thorough psychiatric evaluation of his mental health and put in a mental hospital.
Anon Anon I disagree. He had a choice whether or not to go in a high school and shoot 17 people. He had a choice. It was something he didn’t have to do. He needs to be in prison because he MURDERED 17 HIGH SCHOOL students. Those kids had so much ahead of them and Cruz decided to end their lives because he had his own issues. Mental health is SO NOT a reason to go on a shooting spree. I am having a hard time but never in a million years will I ever go into a high school and kill people. He did this to himself.
Anon Anon he hurt so many families. One of the students even committed suicide because of this. So maybe think before you post.
Anon Anon also, you should never put a murderer in a mental hospital because you never know what he could do. Prisons have psychiatric help and care so he can do that. He deserves the death penalty for all the deaths he caused.
Isolating him will make him worse and probably make him stressed out
Taylor Cobian he’s still human either way people aren’t born to be “killers” he was going through hardships we failed to comfort him which lead to his terrible faith
This world is messed up with crime
Riely Davis country its butter for the world to start 3 world war
Riely Davis country tbh it's mostly America
uhm do you know anything about history?? Nothing has changed.. people are the same only thing we have is technology
Riely Davis country the crime is a SYMPTOM of spiritual disease... sin is rotting us worse and worse as Satan's claws sink deeper. There is ONE cure - the man Christ Jesus. Humanity cannot save itself. Ever.
Alice Acosta nothing has changed? I live in a generation where a man is making millions of dollars for saying 'Gucci gang'.
tbh, I feel as if each generation continues, it's becoming ridiculously stupid.
Nikolas obvs spent a long time planning this shooting
That kid has a brain
ii_Txinity Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha
Blue sky I’ve read a lot about him too, and I agree.
No excuses he could have easily used the same internet to make a call for help
Oliver greene Bobo Mhm but he looks like he knows what he's doing
Having a hard time in life is no excuse to be a killer
you didn't watch the video you idiot. do a bit of research, this shooting could've been stopped over 20 different times
And thats why these shootings are gonna keep happening because even after 17 people die people still dont take these teenagers seriously.
James Franco no sense in trying to spread any message, killing sun is a natural born idiot.
when your life is as bad as mine you simply become a bad person, there is nothing you can do to stop it. so yes it is an excuse and he didnt just have a bad time he had it the worst a human can have it... not just a hard time hahaha
Define a "hard time".
(for you,so something that happend or could have happened in your life)
People are different,some can handle pain better then others.
My question is if people new he had problems and did weird things, then why didn’t people try to stop him in the first place? like he poted pictures with guns and killing animals in his Instagram and his neighbor caught him practicing shooting in his backyard, he also asked for help because he had some kind of depression. He was adopted and his adoptive parents both died. Even the kids in his school that knew him said that it was no suprise he did it.
you need some low fat bleach Milk I was adopted and my adopted parents died but I didn’t go killing someone. He’s making excuses for himself because he thinks the judge will be lenient if they hear a sob story but the real sob stories are the stories from the families who lost their child on February 14th. The only sob stories that matter are the students stories that watched their friends die and the families who lost their child or children.
@@taylorcobian3434 every body is different, you may be able to take problems but he wasn't. He was struggling with his last pieces of humanity left asking for help and what do people like you say ? It's not an excuse ?
Mumbles is fat I ain’t the only one saying it
@@taylorcobian3434 Some people have serious mental issues, I agree that the innocent kids who died and their families didn't deserve that at all, but he didn't deserve to have what he did, I mean If someone had ever taken the time to show him compassion those kids may be going to college right now
That’s not solving the root issue deep down. How about getting widely accessible mental health services that are readily available for these people?
He sounds emotional, everyone needs love and he didn’t get the love he needed. I’m sad for the 17 people that died but he needed help
Are u fucking serious
Mac Knowledge that comment was posted 2 years ago dude
Mac Knowledge Are you?
@@styles_1031 Are you serious? You’re the type of person who creates these people because you don’t care about their problems but you do care what they do
@@not_your_average_joe wtf are u talking about this is america no one gives a shit about your problems especially if you're black, but they sure have ppl who will put u away if you don't act accordingly. That shit you are talking is only because he's not black foh
Its been proven that kids who receive love are most likely to succeed in life, you can hear the pain in his voice, im not defending him but i dont think he was heartless, just very helpless which caused him to do this
stephanie ocelotl I agree 💯
Ca my why did u put a 100 emoji
EpicZz ClipzZ it just means I agree with Stephanie post 100%
It's proven that Medication is a great way to treat mentally Ill PEOPLE.how come nobody ever thought of that?....
Michael Vialpando if you listen to the 911 he needed support and someone to give him compassion he just lots all he had his mother.. that family that according to them took him in.. I truly believe they were interested in his money they never cared for him.. but guess what them losers the adults have a kids.. the bad that you do to others will return to them.. that kid Nicholas my heart goes out to him it’s heart breaking if he had a little support from someone more than likely none of that would of happen 😔
with his past, plus the intense bullying he most definitely got in school, it doesnt really surprise me what he did, he obviously just snapped from all of the shit he had to deal with
What pisses me off is that it could have been stopped. They could have helped him!
Lillian Earls I know but these people are so heartless they’re only focusing on the people who are already resting and not living right now
Everyone has lost ppl... Everyone is hurting at some point in their lives. Doesn't give u an excuse to kill ppl
No it doesn't you're right, However, this person obviously needed help desperately, it's a tragedy all around. Damn shame. One of the worst parts in this particular situation is that it could have all been avoided if the local police and F.B.I. had taken all of the threats, warnings and calls involving Cruz.
thank you. someone who understands!
He was also being bullied
When you’re in the deepest fucking pit of depression and sadness, youre gonna do something. Doesn’t matter if it’s bad or not.
everyone have different way to deal with problems some move on easy some can't that's why there's psychologist and therapist to help
We failed this kid.
S. Zúñiga he’s not a kid.
Who exactly is we we failed the kids he killed
Yeah you worthless bitch,how could you!!!!!!
He’s literally a grown man but ok
Maybe under the law but in reality an 18 year old is still a kid. Brains not even fully developed till at least mid 20's specifically the decision making part.
Outcry from a disturbed soul; let us pray for those in need of love kindness and mercy, rest in peace.
one disturbed soul, while all others are angels.....is this here the kindergarden-section......
what the hell do you guys mean he " allegedly " shot the school. lol, what a joke
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
Even if it's obvious to everyone that he did the crime, in terms of the US legal system, everyone is "innocent until proven guilty".
Lol if this was a black person or a Muslim, no one would be going on about their "Mental health" 🤷🏻♀️
Hammymjfan true
Edgar Bwire well, i guess compared to other races, blacks make up a minimal amount
Yeah because that Muslim would have obviously done it out of spite for this country.
Hammymjfan I think it’s quite fucking evident ALL mass shooters have mental health problems, so stop making this about race.
No shit they just don't say shit because they don't want to report on black people commiting massacres u dumb liberal
Everyone dropped the ball with this kid; the feds, the law, those aware of his "cries for help". So it's no wonder he followed his threat out. It takes a village to raise a child. Today we have strayed far from it. Anti-bullying needs to be Reinforced. We need to help these kids PRIOR to incidents, not turn a blind eye.
Shh Shh Shh Schiller Totally agreed.
Shh Shh Shh Schiller AGREED💯
But its the NRA and Pres. Trump's fault!!!!!
trailer parks are not a good environment for people to grow up in
If you have a mom and a dad or a complete family there not to bad. Nearly every one of these shooters was fatherless. Maybe just a coincidence.
The kids were failed and that’s just heartbreaking, it could of been avoided
I can’t feel bad for this kid. Doesn’t matter what he’s been through, we all go through shit and you don’t see us shooting schools up
Jen Marcela 🙌🏼
Yeah you must go really tough shit, maybe someone called you a mean name or two in middle school. I feel terribly sorry for you.
@nidya rangel There is a significant imbalance of poor mental health among males (specifically white males) comparative to the rest of society. In 2017 alone 75% of suicides were committed by men (according to the Australian bureau of statistics). You have to imagine that this somehow correlates to the cause of these shootings given how all the shooters backgrounds are 'coincidentally' similar. Its extremely relevant. Raising awareness to these facts do not in anyway justify or lessen the events taken place. Its an important discussion to be had and it could potentially dictate a step toward the prevention of these crimes in the near future.
benblue3 lol you don’t know so don’t assume 🙅🏽♀️
nidya rangel don’t you dare call this human a monster the real monster is you how do you not feel anything
I've dealt with similar situations and rough times, and i have some very bad anger issues but i would never, ever even imagine killing innocent people. absolutely horrible.
Stop saying the word allegedly! He did this. He knows it. We all know it. He is pleading guilty!
Cynthia Kozikowski until he is convicted in a court of law the charges ,just be referred to as alleged events.
THANK YOU
Ez_Dub-Rb_World-2 “Have empathy for the shooter and the victims families” That’s gotta be the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard on my life it makes no sense. That’s like saying have empathy for a rapist and the rape victim. Mental illness doesn’t cause people to kill others. I have autism, ADHD, BPD, OCD, bipolar and schizophrenia I’m still struggling to find help but guess what I don’t go around shooting up schools and killing innocent people. He deserves the death penalty.
Ez_Dub-Rb_World-2 Yes tf I would better yet I’d kill myself before I went to prison. Btw I do have major breakdowns but I’ve never felt the urge to kill innocent unarmed people. I wouldn’t ever do it either. Let’s get facts straight here. Nikolas didn’t shoot up the school because had a “breakdown”. He did it because he planned on it for a long time. Meltdowns don’t cause people to plan mass shooting. 1. He commented on a video saying he wanted to be a professional school shooter 2. He threatened to do it a week before it happened 3. He posted guns and knives on Instagram 4. He posted pictures and videos of him killing frogs and squirrels witch is how some murderers start 5. He took an Uber to the school then shot it up.
Ez_Dub-Rb_World-2 Yeah but it’s his fault 17 people are dead and 14 people are injured. Having problems is not a free pass to hurt people. Stop trying to normalize his actions.
Its ashame lives were lost just because someone not doing there job
I am tired of people killing other people why can’t we have peace in this world I guess this will never stop in this world
We are humans,we create and destroy.
That’s not a good thing
you can't just have peace man
Not just me for all
Oh it will stop alright! When the Son of God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords returns with all his Glory to bring the Fathers wrath and judgement upon Earth. The signs to me are everywhere, no man may know the day nor hour but we seem to be awful close. If that is what it takes for this world to finally change, and love, harmony and peace to become reality, I pray it comes soon!
The fact that you all are treating him like a “lost puppy” an “unfortunate child”. I’m in high school let me tell you a bit about my story. I was abused sexually on 3 different accounts ages 4-7. I was bullied for a big portion of my life to the point of multiple suicide attempts by classmates. I was physically abuse by my brother from the age of 8- 14. My father was never in my life never even called for a birthday and complained when I asked him for money for new clothes. My mother was there but never fully provided and let all of this things occur without a bat of an eyelash, very selfish had men, a drug addict, in and out my life . My grandparents used to have to drive 30-45 min almost everyday to bring me food sometimes a couple hours depending on the traffic. I went through severe depression and anxiety I had crippling intrusive thoughts and agoraphobia. And I’ve NEVER EVER and won’t EVER shoot up a school and take innocent lives due to MY trauma. You it’s are victimizing a predator. I’m now in high school myself a junior but I wouldn’t dare nor have I bought about it. HE IS A DISGUSTING THUG PIG. I bet if this person were darker skinned you would have no pitty and pray for the death penalty. And he’s 19 HES 19 not a fucking 9 year old.
IfYouReadThisUsernameYouSmellLikeAButt He has a mental illness he was bullied he CALLED THE POLICE and asked for help he begged for help I know what he did was wrong but he begged and I mean BEGGED for help with he bullying and the adoptive parents should have put him in a hospital so that could prevent this from happening but no they waited until something happend. So this is not all his fault
IfYouReadThisUsernameYouSmellLikeAButt Thank you!! I 1000% Agree with you.
Kendra Stevens Sweetheart I suffer from autism, ADHD, BPD, OCD, bipolar and schizophrenia I’m in the middle of struggling to get help. I was bullied my entire school career. I’ve had low self esteem and tried to commit suicide multiple times but guess what. I’ve never shot up a school nor have I ever thought about it. His “mental illness” and being “bullied” did not give him a free pass to shoot up a school and kill 17 innocent people. Families shouldn’t have to suffer the pain of losing a loved one all because of one mans issues. “It’s not all his fault”. So it’s not his fault he took an Uber to the school and shot it up. If it’s not his fault then who’s was it? Nobody put a gun to his head and told him to shoot up that school. He chose to do it. He planned the shooting for months and threatened to do it a week before it happened. If you payed attention he posted guns and knives and Instagram and posted pictures and videos of him killing frogs and squirrels and chickens witch is how some serial killers start.
IfYouReadThisUsernameYouSmellLikeAButt can you please please please instagram dm me???? our stories are similar and i would love to reach out to you. @carolynsteinn
Kendra Stevens you idiot, having a mental illness doesn't justify killing so many innocent people. If I were autistic and had a fit at 19, would that justify me taking innocent people's lives? he was the bully look at his instagram history for the past 3 years
Sad stuff all around.
It seems like it was multiple calls for help on his part.
I actually feel bad about the fact that his childhood was probably really really bad with no positive role model or influence in his life. “We’ve failed these kids and have to do better.” Kids deserve as much love and appreciation you can give them. From new born, to 18. Gotta build a sting foundation.
This is just showing how a person breaks and how the broken pieces slip through the screens...
This is just sad, just sad!!! What did you people expect was gonna happen??? It's like no body thought to really help him!
Boy, are you ever failing these kids. And you continue to fail them, exploiting them for your gun control campaign like marionettes
This is just heart breaking 💔💔😔
I feel so guilty for feeling bad for Nikolas. The 911 call kinda hurt me. But yes it's no excuse to slaughter 17 people.
:(
It is a reason they deserved it they shouldn't bully others
@@antoniocovaciu7421 no it really isn't. he didn't kill bullies he killed innocent people INCLUDING teachers. Also he was barely bullied lol he was the abusive one
@@delylaeden He wanted revenge , that's pretty normal since no one helped him.
@@antoniocovaciu7421 he murdered 14 children and 3 teachers. by that time he'd already graduated. he is a disgusting human being
@@delylaeden So are you, he wanted to send a message, all of these "innocent" children are a bunch of bullies and sluts
This kid was hurt and emotionally destroyed by people who took him in you just don't start hateing people that much if you wasn't victimized
people never care till somebody goes and do the unthinkable and till call you a sick person it funny because nobody does something on day it happens
I heard the 911 recordings. This kid needed help desperately.
I’m pretty sure no one is saying Cruz is innocent.
Broward Sheriff did not act responsibly and take necessary actions to:
A. Help Cruz
B. Protect the school
Broward Sheriff had the power and resources and laws to help Cruz and prevent this horrible tragedy. Then at the school shooting scene they failed again by not entering the school and killing the shooter.
Weapons Education well it’s obvious someone helped him. Buy that gun.
Bro no one fucking helped him with whatever he is going through that’s why he end up killing students he got feed up so I would say people around him should helped him that time but no one didn’t.
@Future
So if someone shot a relative, sister, brother, mother father. Whatever you would say the same thing? Or is it easier to say this because you are not directly involved in the situation? Now I see why school shootings happen. Idiots don't know how to handle the ups and downs of life and go around shooting people as some kind of therapy?
Sad 😞
poor boy.. he needs to be punished obviously, he did something wrong - but he needs so much help...
KiKie suicidie,,,not punished,,,put away,,yes,,,they tryed to get him to commit suicide,,,instead,,,then he came up with a better pIan,,,remember,,hes crazy,,not stupid,,,an so are a hoIe Iot more hiIIbiIIys in these woods,,,quit buIIying peopIe that wont take it,,,an it wiII stop,,,gess,,,,who they are,,,I,m just one of them,,,but there every where,,,tiered,,oId,,,wornout,,,beat down,,,made to Iook Iike we,er the savages,,,but they keep coming back for more that we dont have,,,,so,,,what do we have to give them,,,other than the buIIet they ask for in the first pIace,,,
lLeRoy Turner ...
He needs the death penalty.........with help or not help he had made his mind long before the atrocity
Did no one hear the pain in his voice ..? Loneliness and not being loved can go a long way.. he lost his mom and all at once but it’s not an excuse it’s just a reason we should be more loving towards another and not be prideful and make fun of kids who are clearly a little odd
You either get authentic love or you get pity love. You can't just expect to come your way.
What he needed was help. But now that he’s a mass murder giving him a sympathetic image isn’t helping anyone so instead of dwelling on what when wrong people need to actually start trying to prevent these sickening acts from happening over and over because they are.
And thus this is the reason why, people need to stop being such a tough fuckboy towards somebody or they will get an assault title out of nowhere and go on a rampage.
Best comment I see here. Agree completely. I loathe what he did, but my God this boy was suffering and desperate. Perhaps having guns easier to access than alcohol is fucking STUPID. WAKE UP USA. I live in Canada and shit like this is extremely rare. Hmmm....I wonder why?
0:31 did she actually say “allegedly” lmao
Amy Joanna it’s for legal reasons they could be sued if they didn’t say that
I'm sorry for his loss and others loss
I feel super bad for the family's that lost loved ones my prayers are with you
Not gonna lie I feel kinda bad for this kid :/ he has a hard life but him killing people was wrong I just wish he didn’t do this ☹️
Genesis Bonilla exactly how I feel but i feel bad for feeling resent for the killer
Genesis Bonilla u feel bad for him? LOL
ShoneyTV oh gosh, can’t you read???
ShoneyTV lol obviously I don’t feel bad that he got into trouble and I feel way more bad for the kids and families but I was saying this kid had a hard childhood but sadly he destroyed 17 wonderful lives
If he was brown his a terriest but he’s white he’s I’ll
His voice is shaky and trying to catch his breath , he obviously was and is LOST beyond what most docs can handle.
those docs handle their money well......
nigga could have been faking this shit to make this all a plan too. even put a gun to his brothers head. why not just euthanize this shit
euthanize?? jesus Christ no. He's just a kid, though he needs to be punished with jail time, all he really needs is mental help. He's extremely messed up.
Kylie suicidie you're fucking kidding right? He needs lifetime prison sentence or death penalty, this sick fuck killed 17 INNOCENT UNARMED highschool students and everyone is justifying it saying he's a broken child, he is fucking 19 years old he knew what he was doing. I was bullied when I was younger abused by my dad and I never once contemplated or even thought about bringing a gun to school or anywhere of that matter to murder innocent people.
Unforgivable killing 17 kids and harming other kids who have family and loved ones who love them.
This is so sad
For people blaming how this guy had a choice to do right, perhaps yes, he may not have been a great person, but unless you’ve been through what he’s been through and suffered the same mental health traumas, and still made the right choice, you have no right to judge him. He should be locked up from public, but he’s a victim too, a victim of a failed society and growing mental health crisis in this country...
he did not sound crazy, he just needed help and no one helped him. so he just want to take them out and die. sad. don't think he is crazy, like they made him out to be.
cold blooded murder im pretty sure this guy just literally crazy
calvin lim You need to do some research because you obviously have clue what you’re talking about. He was a dangerous person to begin with. He bullied and threatened people. He planned the shooting for months. He commented on a video saying he wanted to be a professional school shooter. He threatened to shoot up the school a week before it happened. He posted guns and knives on Instagram. He posted pictures and videos of him killing frogs and squirrels witch is how some murderers start. Say you don’t think he’s crazy now.
calvin lim I would’ve been his friend. I’ll be friends with any lonely kids
Dirtyjew 82 he rejected people. He was very very isolated but he did it to himself. He was scary and did a lot of things to call attention to himself
No, this is nonsense. Numerous of people need help but they don’t go and kill people. You are extremely insane if you think otherwise.
I watched my mom die when I was 17 years old. She was my world, my best friend, the kindest woman I've ever known. It changed my life for the worst, something I'm still affected by 10 years later. And still, not once has it ever crossed my mind for even a second to do something like this to innocent people. There is NO excuse for this. He's a sick piece of shit and I hope they put him in solitary for the rest of his life.
All the students, the parents, the teachers, the people in the shooters life, and even the shooter himself... everything about this is tragic and heartbreaking.
They've probably had records of this call.
They had yet another chance to report this and prevent this school shooting.
Yet they didn't and it was too late.
I’m glad everyone is starting to feel the same empathy for this kid that I do. The guilt, everything. You bully a kid, and wonder why he is so angry. Those same kids from that school starting protests and movements for a change, are the same kids that made him feel worthless, alone, forgotten. It’s just not right.
Man.. I lost my cousin in a car accident a few years ago when I was just a sophomore in high school.. that shit fucked me up, I didn’t go through one day without thinking about him for the rest of the year. But now I’m a first year medical student here in Arizona striving to be a paramedic so I could save other people from going through the same shit I went through. I question my entire existence watching this video😕
You can hear how broken he is...
I wonder if he was planning it or he just woke up one day and just snapped. I'm always left clueless no info is ever released
DoctaPeppa77 He obviously planned it.. He's been publicly saying he was gonna do it for at least 2 years.. And that day he got dressed in the school clothes.. Obviously to blend in with students.. But if you look closely to the fbi tips and 911 calls.. He was always talking about killing himself.. Until he went to public normal high school and not schools for special needs.. And that's when he changed from wanting to kill himself to wanting to kill people.. I personally think the "real" school was too much for him.. And we all know kids are cruel.. Especially in high school.. And he didn't know how to handle it because of his autism and ADHD..
"Allegedly killed"
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I thought he was caught red handed?
How many tips does law inforcement need to react on it?
It's painfull to listen to theese warnings!
Warriors trying to turn this into "he was the victim here". 17 people guys, 17.
There's no excuse for that.
He should be punished but please at least give him the help he needs I’m feeling sad for him
Honestly the more shit that comes out has my heart torn ... they failed this hurting child.. all he knew was hurt and ppl telling him he's bad when in actuality he was illl. His adoptive parents said she doesn't want to talk to him right now but she's trying to file petition to have his inheritance so you mean to tell me when he needs someone there for him the most like now you're not there but yet you'll communicate enough to ensure that you are the main recipient of that inheritance I mean is RIPD all those people those kids was innocent and they did not deserve that but we need to think about the Sun that that boy the shooter we can't fail him again
Rae Bae exactly. I agree with you. That money rightfully deserves to go to nikolas and his brother. And yes you can even tell by the tone of his voice of how broken he was. I honestly wish I knew him back then so I could’ve helped him in some way. We have to help more kids like him. It’s so sad.
Sniper Gang right. Parents be to proud to except the fact their child is mentally ill.. its sad bc i really wanna beat the people who he lived with. They said if they had known he was like that they wouldve never let him in. Like that hurts and he has no one. I want 2 write himm.. somebody needs to stand up from him. For all the othet mentalling ill patient. Its thousands of nikolad IN EVERY STATE thats why school shooting havent stoped bc were busy blaiminh guns instead of understanding metal health. Im disgusted bymm
Go ahead and feel sorry for him all you want, he's still a murderer who shot and killed 17 innocent people who had nothing to do with his personal issues.
Yara Flahat thank you for reiterating what i had previously said. 👍 and you're not him and u may/may not b mentally ill so u cant speak on how they effected his life. He chose the school 4 a reason..
Rae Bae It doesn't matter what they did to him, they didn't KILL him. They could have bullied him 24/7 and he still doesn't have the right to kill them and they didn't deserve to die.
when I'd heard him talk I started tearing up because of what he said and I actually feel really really bad. you guys can hate on me all you want but I'm speaking for what I think about him and it's very very sad when he said hi I just got assaulted and stuff and it's kind of hurting me seeing him go to jail even though I know what he did and took 17 lives
you're very empathetic.. people won't understand you yet you already know that ... don't stop being you !
You should save your sympathy for those who are struggling on the verge as we speak. He forfeited his entitlement to your sympathy the instant he assumed the right to take lives.
R Whitman i understans him
Amy shut your damn mouth
Legion No, I'm being me. You can either leave, or mind your business. I'm speaking for what I think.
Ugh. Poor fucking kid, man. They failed him in every way.
The world is messed up with crime
Practically begging for help.
And no one helped in, I think it speaks volumes that people in that school were "Joking about how he will be the next school shooting"it's clear that's how they viewed him and then wonder why it happened. Maybe if instead of ridculing someone who clearly had problems, they had helped and shown some compassion people would not be dead. This does not excuse in any way the shooter's actions, but I do think that things could have been a lot different if someone had show some compassion and humanity at the right time before it became too late.
Thumbnail makes him look like Dave Franco’s relative
don't know how a person like this can have any kind of lawyer to defend him
He’s been through alot.. it makes you want to feel bad for him, even though you also feel like you can’t ):
That 9mm Carbine he hid was the weapon of Eric Harris in the Columbine High School massacre which Nick looked up to.
19 year olds aren’t teenagers. He’s an adult. He’s a piece of shit killer. We the people really dropped the ball on allowing this guy to buy a gun. Guns didn’t cause. We need to have a watch list. I know everyone hates that idea but that should exist. Along with a watch list there should be harsh penalties against anyone that makes false statements to police and the courts to have someone put on a watch list.
He didn't kill anyone.
Lmao he was a kid though.
You should have a proper gun license test instead... which requieres actual skill and knowledge.
littleteethkeith I agree with what u said but please don’t be rude when I say this, nine TEEN he’s an adult but like 9 teen. I’m so sorry ocd
bigpardner ur a dumbass, he killed 17 pp
That poor boy☹️
Cruz sounded very calm, emotionally stable, with a kind voice as his former friends can attest.
i dont know why i feel so bad for him, i understand he killed 17 people which i horrible! but losing your mother and feeling empty & like the world is against you is an awful feeling.. he clearly needed help i dont understand why they couldnt stop him tho? i read that he did warn someone that he was going to come back to the school, i also read that he made several warnings but nothing was done.. but anyways what he did was still wrong
If he killed any of your loved ones you would feel the same. Shut the fuck up. RUclips commenting fuck
I know why,,,you,v bean bullied to,,,and didn't get the heIp you ask for,,,just Iike him,,,but he aint aII there,,,an they knew it,,thats why they got away with it tiII he went off,,an shot them,,,I dont bIaim him at aII,,,I bIaim them,,,
Who the fuck cares about what u have written, he killed 17 peoples, all the talking shit is irrelevant
Schizophrenia is an uncontrollable "dream" just like when you jump off of a cliff in your dream and wake up when you hit the ground, you wouldn't jump off of a cliff in real life, so clearly you had no control. With schizophrenia you wake up, and realize it WASN'T a dream, yet you still have just as little control during it. There is an innocent side of him that had absolutely nothing to do with it. That doesn't make it forgivable or less of a horrific tragedy, i fully agree with that, so no need to preach to someone who already agrees. It doesn't come and go several times a day like in the movies, you are the negative version for weeks or months, and the positive version for an hour or two, then back to the negative for weeks or months again. Just remember your dreams/nightmares of falling, you can't control that any more than the positive good hearted side of him could control his "nightmare". I know this because i'm schizophrenic and i fully understand if you can't grasp the concept, i felt the same way most of you do for most of my life until i experienced it myself. Schizophrenia is fully splitting your mind into two people, one positive, one severely negative, and only one can be in control at a time. There is an innocent kid in his body, and a guilty kid in his body that killed 17 people. Unfortunately they're impossible to separate. Those who feel empathy for him feel it for the positive him, not the murderer. Cruz himself would thank you endlessly if you were able to execute the negative side without hurting the positive side. Again, murdering 17 kids is not excusable, i fully agree, so don't try to bash something into me that i already agree with, i'm just trying to help people understand how this happens.
@@kaw628 WHO CARES U IDIOT?? WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT UR STUPUD TEXT? HE KILLED 17 PEOPLE, WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT UR WANNA BE TEXT
Every single time I hear a report about this guy being acknowledged like this always makes me think; "How the fuck was he NOT apprehended beforehand?" This could have prevented, if the authorities just did their job. There were WAY TOO many red flags, man.
The local authorities failed because of their incompetence. The FBI failed because they refused to follow protocol. The school failed. This is just sad.
Sierra Pearl Shrewd What if they intentionally ignored the danger?
Sierra Pearl Shrewd ain't sure how the police in America is but in Britain the police physically can't do anything before it happens because they just don't have to funding.
His family acted like they didn't see the fucking signs! This pisses me off!
He is 19 and he is getting tried as a "child" thats fucked up
FBI DROPPED THE BALL.
CNN never talks about the fact that there is always a shooting drill running parallel with these shootings.
Schools have been running drills for the past couple years now so not sure wtf you're even talking about. Quit the stupid conspiracy theories no one is buying it.
This is outrageous! No one investigated & now 17 dead. He had mentally lost it before the shooting itself. When will 911 and police act?? What does it take?
Wow the world really is that unfair.
A clap cannot be heard by one hand.The suspect was bullied and treated very badly by the people around him and thus he became a total psychopath.Innocent people surrounded by hatred,are the ones who become serial killers.People should stop bullying and hating each other
Shellogy skinny roach is gonna know the meaning of bullying in his new forever home.
Bounce that Shit Wow 👏👏👏 That completely made it more better.
He literally was reaching out for help! Yet again, we miss it when it comes to mental health...WHY!!
The man is a monster.....but this was something that could've been avoided. Despite me seeing him as a monster my heart still aches to see this....this man lost his mom, bullied, had mental illnesses on top of all of that and personally the only reason why my heart goes out to his life circumstances since I've seen family....people I know go through exactly what he did despite not going all crazy but it's something most people don't understand and never will.
How did someone like him get a gun so easily?! Smh.
Is the argument now that this is released about mental health issues or is it about gun rights because iam seeing both from alot of people. Case in point if the police or fbi followed up properly on cruz he would have been in jail... and unable to buy guns legally.
Goku Norris do you think this is still about guns?
JustGotALife no I am saying if the proper background checks were done and the fbi took the complaints seriously he would have been in jail.
Shouldn't have been able to buy guns period. But instances of people pop up every day who people "think" are going to commit a crime. There will never be any hope to just know which ones are for real. Blaming this on police etc is pointless.
I don't see why it *can't* be both? Not everything is a single faceted issue.
Yes, what this kid did was wrong. There is no doubt about that. But it was more than evident that he had issues. Mental issues maybe depression issues and I doubt that anyone did anything to help him out because they didn't want to deal with a "troubled" kid. People too soon lose hope in these kids and teens which is why they end up being another statistic of prisons.
Also, I'm more than positive he was bullied at school. Bullying is hard I don't care what anyone says. You feel alone and hopeless. I saw a video where students from the Florida school mentioned that he "tried" to make friends yet never really "fit in". You know why this kid never really "fit in" because no one every gave him a chance. Everyone pushed him away... including his family. Kids can be cruel... I know this because I work with them.
Again if you see any alarming signs something should be done right away. Not until it is too late.
Treat everyone with love and compassion. Because you don't know what they might be going through
Viviana Ramirez I'm gonna bet 100% of my whole complete family don't even see this comment.
So killed innocent kids instead of manning up and beating his bullies make sense
When your in the deepest pit of depression and sadness nothing matters your gonna wanna hurt someone also he needed help so just stop talking
Im sorry was that before or after
The Bible says love your enemies and pray for those to become a children of God love your neighbor as yourself no one is perfect but God has Mercy on each one of us
Alejandro Perez but it was written by a human who was in a prison pretty sure it was his thoughts

you are wrong

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
How did he get into the school with classes in session? We have to go to the main office, show ID. Our iD is scanned into the students record! We also have an armed officer sitting at the main entrance watching who enters and exits and the desk is also where the main hallway is to student classes! I don't understand why this can't be implemented in every school across the nation. They are there watching on site not outside. If there is a problem another officer is called to the office leaving the other officer at the entrance. They are not there filling in with other jobs around the school. They are watching! They talk to the kids, the kids feel comfortable telling them something if it's not right and if it needs to be investigated that's what they do! They do their job and we have lost millions in budget cuts for our school but our school system main agenda is keeping our students safe!!!!!
Angelique Coleman my school lets anyone in. tbh i think we should do something about it
Angelique Coleman maybe your school is not as open as Stoneman Douglas HS
Angelique Coleman my school is between trees and the only entrance is like the road going to the entrance but Stoneman Douglas HS there is no trees or nothing surrounding it
Angelique Coleman all that security, and yet shootings still happen.... Makes you wonder if that's really why they track you so closely.
Angelique Coleman I do not agree with you!! If a tragedy has to happen than it will happen, no metter what you do for preventing it. It is impossible to know when and where a crazy man want to kill people..... it will alaways find a way!!
The problem, in my opinion, is the american system and the laws that they have. This guy was completely excluded from the society and from the school leaving him alone suffering and getting violent. The school failed in this case because did not had the sensibility or the willing in helping him.. they just ignored the problem and did not care about that!!! What is the role of the school than?? Is not that in helping in integration and formation of the community??
the pain in his voice, someone should’ve helped him
It's really sad how he killed his brother and mom
this poor kid needs a hug he has been through a lot I don't like what he did but he was hurting and over reacted people should have seen this coming he doesn't need to die he needs help
Skyla Star I agree. I just wanna give him a hug. I feel really bad for him 😢
Skyla Star are you fucking delusional?? He took the lives of 17 people he lost the right to sympathy he deserves to be hanged for his actions
Sniper Gang I hope u are being sarcastic
Now, you guys can go hug the victim’s families. They didn’t ask for this and now they’re broken for life.
Wanna give him a hug? It doesn't matter what the fuck was happening in the kid's head, he killed 17 people. You're sick.
I completely don’t support what he did, but I also feel bad for this guy, he just clearly seemed depressed and not loved. He needed help!
Look, I don't think you should feel bad for him, at all, shits happen, it's normal for your love one to die and you have to deal with lots of shits in life, it's normal for the society to ignore you, it's your problem anyway, what does it have to do with the rest of the world ?! He's 19, he's an adult, he should know how valuable lives is by now, Especially the lives of young people who have a long future ahead, they can have a wonderful life, they can do what they want and finish their goals in the future but this depressed asshole came in and ruin everything ! Get your shit together instead of killing innocent students, it's not like I don't understand how hard it is to lose your love one and having to deal with life on your own, reaching out for help but there was no response.... But that is ABSOLUTELY NOT THE EXCUSE TO KILL STUDENTS, I'm amazed how many people ignore the people who died under his hand and just decided to defend him like it's okay to kill people as long as shits happen in your life !
I dont feel shit for this killer :)
He is a disgusting human dung. He needs to go straight to prison forever and never come outside. My prayers still go out to everyone involved in the school shooting.
The Abuse Excuse is no excuse at all.
what he did completely wrong, but feel bad for the kid
fuck him feel bad for the victims
Kaleb Balcha how u feel bad for that fuck
Bro are you fucking serious 😂😂😂😂
Feel bad for the 17 sets of parents that dont have a child anymore
I dont feel bad cuz he is going to jail I feel bad for the stuff he went through. Because not alot understand that, and nobody cared until this happened.
This kid was going through a hard moment losing a mom that's very hard to get over, then getting bullied,threatened, the reason why people shoot up schools is to get over there misery and somehow make them feel better. But his act was very very wrong and I hope TRUMP will do something about bullying and make it harder to get guns.
Yasmina1418 well first off if you dig into the reasons of many school shootings many of them where bullied and shoot up schools to make them fell better I’m a just shooked why a person would do this I don’t stand on the shooters side
You cant feel bad for him theres many people that go through tough times I know worse stories than this. Just think about it, he lost his mom. He knows how it feels to lose someone you love. And then he turns around and kills 17 innocent people, and takes their lifes and ruins their families life. He is a psychopath he obviously only cares about himself.
Omg I’m so sick of people playing the “bullied” card. We all been bullied at some point in our lives but have we all shot up schools? We are all gonna lose our moms at some point but that doesn’t mean we are all gonna shoot up schools. How do you think the families of the victims feel? Do you see them shooting up schools? No honey people shoot up schools because they choose too? I been bullied my entire school career. As much as I hate my life and feel like I’ll be better off dead sometimes. I would never in a million years shoot up a school. What good does killing innocent people and putting families through misery do?
Yasmina1418 THANK YOU!!! I’m glad someone finally agrees with me.
Moritz B Exactly
"You understand right, A loved one was ripped from me, so now I will do that to 17 other people, I dont care if they're your loved ones"
his life is really messed up
Smh he sounds so innocent 😞
bruh are u fr
@Destiny Graham FUCK YOU
Destiny Graham So you think someone that killed 17 innocent people sounds innocent? Wtf is wrong with you? I guess Dylan Roof sounds innocent to you too.
Olivia Boyd Did nothing wrong, if it was so wrong why are guns allowed? Heh pathetic people you all are.
_kingmtb Just because guns are legal doesn’t mean it’s okay to kill. That’s like saying just because cars are legal means it’s okay to drive drunk. If Nikolas killed those people in self defense it would have been different. I do think there should be better gun laws. If you saw a gun laying on the ground would you pick it up and start killing people?
God bless cruz and the ones that passed cause society let cruz fall through the cracks losing parents being bulied and a broken heart cause of a bitch God comfort him and the ones who hurt and list cause of societys laziness
Rafael Alvarez thankyou❤️ At least there are open minded people like you on this earth. I love ur comment. I live in Broward and I wish somehow that I knew nikolas and I could’ve helped him. I feel bad for him and the kids just like him. Listening to these 911 calls of him begging for help really brought tears to my eyes. And the mental health system here in Florida (Broward) is terrible. I can tell from my own experiences😞honestly I feel sympathy for nikolas
God doesn't exist.
But I agree with someone helping Cruz. He killed someone, but who cares. Life is worthless.
Rafael Alvarez “God bless a mass murderer that killed 17 innocent people and the ones he killed” oh stfu. Listen to how stupid you sound. “Society let him” my ass. You act like we own him. He’s an adult. He’s old enough to know better. Who tf told him to shoot up that school? If people told him “Nikolas please don’t shoot up a school” do you think he would have listened? Absolutely not considering he planned it for a long time. Nobody made him pick that gun and shoot up that school. He did it on his own free will.
Rafael Alvarez fuck god
Man this is crazy. This is going to raise lots of eyebrows and much more controversy. What started as a school shooting has now become more than just that
They said 4 more laid to rest so 21 deaths an several in the hospital still fighting
