'I watched you kill my daughter': Parkland father faces Nikolas Cruz, blasts defense attorneys
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ย. 2024
- Fred Guttenberg, the father of 14-year-old Parkland victim Jaime Guttenberg, said he watched footage of Nikolas Cruz's massacre inside the school and saw him "enjoy" killing 17 people, including his daughter. He lamented how he and other victims' families will never see their children grow up, then blasted the defense attorneys for their objections in Tuesday's hearing, where they claimed they had to "endure" attacks from the grieving families.
He then asked for a show of hands from those in the room of those who would never see their children get married as a result of the massacre, and over a dozen hands went up.
Guttenberg pointedly looked at the defense table and said, "Anyone who claims that they had to ‘endure’ anything close to what we endure may want to rethink your language and choice of words just a bit."

This man is a legend. So well spoken and so passionate. I hope all the families can find peace. You are all in my heart.
@@AWretchedMan Anthony is talking about the father.
But I absolutely agree that the childish, cowardly little *child* who thinks he is all macho and cool for shooting a bunch of kids who wasn’t even involved in his ‘bullying’ is going to hell!!
@@AWretchedMan hell isn’t real bucko
@@Monkforilla there’s more proof that it exist than it not existing.
@@AWretchedMan why is that?
He is a crisis actor. No one died! It is a CIA staged event!
This man needs a standing ovation because he maintained his composure through his entire speech.
That would be very inappropriate for the situation tho

This is court not a comedy club
@@Flyeaglesfly00 he meant not cry
This broke my heart. He spoke for every parent who has lost a child to violence, be it a mass shooting, school shooting, domestic violence & drunk drivers. God bless all these grieving parents.
Nikolas is more badass than this shallow/weak father
We should stop these ghetto kids. Enough is enough.
Gods not going to do anything in this situation cuz he doesn’t exist

“No”??? That’s his daughter!!!
@@movieandshowclipsssTf you mean “no”?
To give a speech like that without breaking a tear as a father who lost his little princess, in front of her killer, is unimaginable. Only love for your daughter and fighting for her justice powered him. I am deeply sorry for all these families and all the pain they have to endure because of the monster who killed their kids.

I don't think I could ever go on if my child was tragically killed. I can't fathom how a parent could feel. Sorry to everyone who lost children that horrible day.
@phill unrau what did you gain saying that.
@phill unrau how’s you’re sister bin buddy I never seen her for a while now😂
Eventually we must forgive Him, it's not fair to judge people who change all throughout life for something they once did, give him a chance to change or he definitely won't
you keep on ignoring the cries for help of teenage boys in your social circle and it'll inevitably happen to you. putting a child in prison for life because they did in america what other kids are doing in the middle-east with uncle sam's stamp of approval, that's so good and understanding of you.
*Jesus Christ is Lord & He's coming soon* ❤🙏🏽
The defense attorney's behavior was deployable and despicable. The way they treated these grieving families. Flipping off a bird and laughing with a mass murderer. They should be reprimanded or disbarred. The judge was great and showed as much passion as she could. Especially after sentencing this monster!
I agree with you on this! You are absolutely right!
Yeaa they favor the criminal just like most democrats
The entire WORLD seen those lawyers actions. Trust me ALL of their careers are over. Their career is going to be reduced to ambulance chasers.
If the Justice system protects this killer from all the hands of the many enraged parents then it’s a broken system

I have a 14 year old daughter in high school and a 13 year old 8th grader.
Watching this man expressing his pain and anger brings me to tear. Seeing your own baby gunned down in video is just unimaginable. I am gonna hug my daughters and I pick them up from school today.
well they should probably be in private school or homeschooled, on top of the fact menaces like this continue to gun down children, your children are probably being taught they're the opposite gender and getting groomed by staff
Hey, please don’t take this the wrong way but it’s actually outrageously hurtful to grieving parents to talk about how their tragedy, them losing their kid, is going to make you hug your’s. Think about what you’re saying “you can’t hug your dead kid but I can, and your dead kid makes me want to hug them.” Ik that’s obviously not your intent, and the parents probably won’t read your comment but its just something to keep in mind when talking with/about bereaved parents. I myself only realized it when a bereaved parent pointed out to me how insensitive I was being.
@@ScreamingDucksShotMyMother ridiculous, that is absolutely not your fault that they perceived it that way

My heart breaks for this man I lost my son to a mad truck driver. He was only 22, I couldn't look as his killer. There is nothing worse than losing a child. The pain never goes away. God bless you sir. I'm very glad you got to say how you felt.

@@robbierob808 what exactly is funny?
The entire WORLD seen those lawyers. Trust me ALL of their careers are over.
They didn't do it towards the families but 2 of them were laughing and goofing off during a break and flicked off a camera they thought was off.
There was an objection to the position of a certain camera because they were afraid it could zoom in on their paperwork. One of the other attorneys was moving the camera around and 2 of the attorneys flicked her off because she playing around with the camera. Still unprofessional, but not what people are saying.
@@Larindarr Well, your opinions arent a deciding factor
He admonished the entire defense team and I love it. Good for him! Excellent victim impact statement. My heart is with the parents of these poor kids, always ❤

The defense team are doing their job, for which it's neither fair nor intellectual to be admonished.

@@Temptthedevil No, Nicholas had some money to hire a component defense team.
I felt every single word that he said. My heart breaks for the survivors, families, and the communities in general.
Nonetheless the killer doesn't feel anything about his word whatever, especially not now. The killer might think the same thing is this reality or something else's. And thinks & say this: Did I've really kill those kids 🤔 do I feel anything by doing so?
So yeah the murderer is there just to here blah, blah, blah, bla.........!
On that day that's the only thing he is hearing from this father who can't see his daughter anymore and can't walk her at her wedding 😳😒🙄 if that was her destiny in the first place? Only God knows.
@@yarahgil7452 Millions of people in the world have been bullied, but that doesn't give anyone the right to kill innocent people because of it. The students and teachers that he killed weren't even the ones that bullied him. He's just a racist who painted swastikas on his weapon before he shot up the school, making sure to shoot directly into the classroom of students studying about the Holocaust. This is not just about being bullied; it's about him just being pure evil.

Glad he addressed the whole legal team and not just the killer. Because they are all helping him get away with it as much they possibly can.
They have no choice.. read the constitution...
Everybody has the right to an attorney. The legal system would be even more unfair than it already is otherwise.
@@crossbowskiss that doesn’t give them the right to make a mockery of the court, insulting the judge, flipping the bird and claiming “no one had to endure what we had to endure” in THAT room of all rooms.
Defendant is legally entitled to the best defense he can get. It's our LAW. if the defendant's counsel does not do a good job, the trial can be thrown out due to ineffective counsel.

@@boileranimal5343 The idiot is you, and "animal" was a perceptive name choice. Get lost.
@@lefantomer Hi, I know you don't answer, but I hope you'll see this. You see, God has a perfect standard of morality, that is, all sins in His eyes are equal. All of us has sinned, and that makes us as evil as breaking one of His commandments means breaking all of them. If you want Him to intervene and stop evil, you must agree with us being killed also, to match His just characteristics. But God didn't do that. Instead, He sent Jesus Christ to die at the cross for our sins that whoever trusts in Him will be saved. We're evil, and the dreadfulness of our sins even took God to conquer them.
God didn't care enough to stop such a tragedy (and countless others) from happening, so why should he care now?
17ppl and no death sentence. Again our justice system is trash
All because one person voted against it

Those defense attorneys should be disbarred for their behaviors throughout this trial. And the gall to whine they've been through a lot is more than atrocious.

BEHAVIORS which they chose to exhibit, which was disrespectful, condescending, childish toward the court and victims/families of this crime. Not the job, the behavior.

Bless you Mr. and Mrs. Guttenberg. Thank you for addressing the ridiculous defense team.
Man, if you haven't experienced loss like that it's difficult to comprehend how hard it is to be composed as this father when your child's killer is in front of you.
Hes absolutely right the lack of human decency, common respect,and empathy for other human beings makes me sick to live on this planet. Much respect to them for turning their pain into positivity and helping other people and trying to change the world instead of just killing dude i dont think i personally could face someone that had murdered my child.
the defense is absolutely disgusting for their behavior in this trial. My heart goes out to all of the victims' families, the survivors, and all of thoseaffected by this horrible tragedy.
I just want to let this poor father know that he’s an extraordinary human being. His strength is amazing to witness, and his words are so powerful. I have so much empathy and respect for him.
Well stated. I can't imagine myself being able to maintain composure and express myself like this man did under the emotional stress that he has been through. Mr. and Mrs. Guttenberg, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter Jaime. Thank you for expressing what you did and for having the strength and compassion to help others dealing with grief and loss.
Absolute unit of a man I strive to be. I will send my prayer for your daughter.
Stay strong.
This man made me cry. So strong father,so strong person...
The killer is so cold and it is sooo visible that he has zero feelings in his body. I am soooo sorry for all the families who lost their loved ones.
I have so much respect for this dad. He's an amazing person able to speak with sooooo much emotion inside trying to explode out. I hope his wife and family are ok. Unimaginable sadness 😢🙏
Ikr. The worst tragedy ever.
Poor dad
This man is living thru Hell. You can hear it in his voice. The hurt, the anger.
As I watched this video, a tear started to roll down. I feel the pain, as a dad, how hard it is.
Love this fathers heart felt speech! In which he presented very calmly but I bet he got his point across and this is one they will never forget… God bless him and every family that this tragedy has affected.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This man gave the strongest statement I've ever seen 👏 You Sir sure made your daughter proud, you made sure what happened to her and your family won't be forgotten 👏 ❤
This parent gave one of the most eloquent and hard hitting addresses to the court. Everything he said was hard hitting and spot on. I can never imagine what these parents have gone through but I hope as a community all those affected can heal together.
My sincerest condolences to these families who lost children. I lost my 22 year old son last year from a brain bleed! He loved high school. He graduated top 2 percent of high school, had his pick of colleges. God had other plans for him. I know how it feels not to see him or talk to him, but I cant imagine how these parents feel. God bless you all!
Sorry for your loss 😢
Excuse me: was he c vaxd?
@@ItachiRyu Thank you so much!
@@annawiniarska2054 why the f would u ask that that irrelevant and none of your buisness!!!
so sorry for your loss ! may you someday find peace and comfort some day🙏🏼🙏🏼
Why should he be saved from death penalty? His daughter didn't have a choice regarding that.
One juror messed that up
Those defense lawyers should be ashamed of themselves.
They are proud because its always their people doing this...
They should be disbarred too. They should be held accountable for their own actions.
no
It's more gruesome than I realized. Having to endure this is excruciating!! I'm so sorry parents. There's nothing I can say or do to help take your pain away. You parents are strong to the end. It's disgusting what this kid has done.
He's a creep.
I mean you can help some hitman snipe the guy aight,? 😶
This is so terrible. I am so sorry for the lost of the children and the suffering of the parents.God please help them heal.
How disgusting is his face to be so blanked out whilst he hearing all of this.
These are the ones which piss me off most.
God dam.... the strength needed by the father to speak this, and the strength of the mother to stand with him. Can't imagine the pain
Yeah I really don't know how he kept his composure. And as for Cruz....is he trying to win a Jeffrey Dahmer look-alike contest?
God is good repent and believe the gospel 💙
I have a 15 year old daughter I can't imagine the pain these people have suffered, my condolences to all the families. I wouldn't be able to be in that room had I been in there shoes.
Hug her every day and never forget to tell her u love her.
2:00 when they raised their hands I cried. THAT IS painful to watch.
The son is destined to bury their fathers not the other way around. When the father bury his own son or daughter then we did something terribly wrong as a society.
lmao

I cannot imagine the pain that these families have to go through with the loss of their beloved ones.
My heart with them.
I hope they find some peace.
Powerful speech from this man. I fought back tears I’m not gonna lie even though he’s the one who lost someone. Bless this strong man.
hopefully he meets them nasty dementors in there.
You're not obliged to lie.. such emotions show strength.
Yo, Prison Mike. I hope you show Nicky how you talk to women in the clink.
@@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights Gross and obscene. You’re simultaneously insinuating and promoting prison rape while also complaining about US firearm and judicial policy being poor compared to other “first-world” (developed) countries. That seems a bit inconsistent.
This is very powerful and emotional. These families should be treated with respect and even the defense attorneys should acknowledge their pain. My heart goes out to these families. The fact that you have turned this horror into a positive experience speaks volumes about you and your family's character. I'm sure your daughter had this same character as well. And I'm sure she is as proud of you as you are of her. Thank you for your candid and factual speech. It needed to be said.
This father has serious self restraint. The amount of love I have for my daughter is immeasurable, as it is for other parents. It's a primal, deep, unbreakable bond. I couldn't have done what this man did. I would have been busy the past few weeks coming up with a plan to take this guy out. He wouldn't be breathing much longer, no way. I would make it happen.
I need to shake this man's hand. He just spoke for every parent in that courtroom.
I can feel the parents pain. It's very sad and devastating
It is. Justice WAS NOT served for that mass murderer and the world knows it. I think the outcome of this trial will serve as a catalyst of positive changes for the justice system in FL.
@@Romulan2469 I agree. We need to do better in our judicial system.
12-28-07 a drunk driver killed my 3 month old infant son and mom, he got 5 years. He wasn't blamed, his lawyer did a grand job blaming Alcohol and the illness known as alcoholism. According to that side is wasn't the killer's poor choices, it was the booze that killed my baby and mom. These people who defend these monsters are no better than the monsters themselves.
My son was born 9-25-07, he was killed 12-28-07, he didn't get a chance at life but the monster who took my family some how gets the chance to live a pretty fulfilling life.
Our courts are definitely messed up.
@@vixxxenfoxxx3660 I'm so sorry for you loss. I understand the devastation I understand grief. Noone should go through having their family die and you are left. But you are and now you can live and you will see them again in spirit.
@@vixxxenfoxxx3660 stay strong. Keep up the fight. You can do it.
Those defense lawyers are absolutely disgusting, I know they are suppose to be on the defense side, but trying to justify these disgusting acts instead of admitting what actually happened and apologize? Ugh, they should be exposed and shamed just as that criminal was.
Anyone whose caught red handed doing something like this shouldn't even get a lawyer.
@Nuper
Everyone has a right to a proper defence. If you were ever arrested for something you would want the right to defend yourself in Court.
If a person is not given a chance to properly defend themself in Court thier Sentence can be overturned on appeal.
Nicholas may have plead guilty to all the charges, but that did not take away his rights to have lawyers on his side in Court. In my opinion I think that his defence lawyers did a wonderful job in presenting his case.
You could tell that to most if not all of the lawyers it was not just a Case that they were made to take. They truly care for Nicholas and were able to overlook the Crimes he did and had empathy and compassion for what he went through growing up.
And they understood that he suffers from severe mental illness and did not have complete control over his actions because of it.
As for the lawyer flipping off the camera and laughing. She did it in an almost empty Courtroom to what she thought was a shut off camera. The Judge, Jury and Families were not evan there, I don't think the Prosecution was evan there.
It was a joke , get over it!!!
The fact that his Lawyers were laughing and joking with him, and talking to him shows how much they cared and that they had bonded with him, almost like thier own child.
They clearly saw him as a mentally ill Client and not the heartless Monster that the Prosecution wanted people to see him as.
The Families acted so rude saying nasty stuff and making threats. And they expect people to have sympathy for them?!!! What a joke!!!
I'm sorry but thier behavior was so rude and disgusting it made me not like any of them. I certainly don't sympathize with them.
Doing what they have, wishing for Nicholas to be Beaten, SA and or Murdered by the other Prisoners.
It only demeans them and thier dead loved ones.
The ones I do feel bad for are all the victims and Nicholas himself.
RIP to the victims that died. 🙂❤
I hope Nicholas is doing okay in Prison and that he is getting the mental health help that he so desperately needs. I hope and pray that they have him in protective custody so he is kept safe and not hurt or killed. 🙂❤💯👍🏻
@@gailobright8070 would u be polite and compassionate to ur child's murderer??? I know I wouldn't be able to...
@@gailobright8070 Oh yes, the poor Nicholas the murderer of over 15 people, he should spent some time in a mental health facility and he will be ok. Right? He is just lost, he didn’t mean to kill all these people. He is a menace to society and should be executed for what he did no matter his mental health. Not at this point. Do you really feel no sympathy for the victims? Or maybe you just feel more sympathy for the criminal? How would you feel if somebody murder your daughter?
@trist-
I said RIP to the victims that died.
It's terrible what happened to them all. As well as the other victims that were shot and lived. 🙂❤
I feel so sad for what happened to all the victims, it never should have happened. Nicholas was failed by so many people.
And I never said that I condoned that Nicholas killed people and tried to kill others.
All I meant is that I feel bad for everything he went through while he was growing up.
It's obvious that he had(and still has) severe mental health problems.
And so I believe that instead of being put in Prison for the rest of his life, he should have been sent somewhere to get the mental health help he needs.
I don't like the things he did and that he killed 17 people, and tried to kill 17 others anymore than anyone else does. But I am of the opinion that you can absolutely hate what a person has done, but still feel bad for what they are going through. Still have compassion and empathy for your fellow man that is suffering from mental illness. And that he has been sent to Prison for the rest of his life, it's just so sad and heart-
breaking the whole Tragedy. ❤🙂
So I am not going to let anyone tell me I am in the wrong for feeling the way I do. Let's agree to disagree shall we?!!!
As for the Family members of the victims they lost a loved one, and have a right to be upset and angry.
But I find it hard to feel anything other than anger towards them for the way they have acted and things they have said.
They are so filled with hatred and
vindictiveness.
It was sickening how they stood there in the Courtroom and proclaimed gleefully that they hope Nicholas gets Beaten, SA and or Murdered by the other Prisoners.
And that damn Judge sat there and said nothing!!!
They should all feel ashamed of themselves for thier behavior.
It only demeans them and thier dead loved ones, by acting the way they have.
Nicholas could not fully control his actions because of severe mental illness.
What's the Families' excuse for thier horrible actions?!!!
Which is why I feel bad for Nicholas and not the Families'.
Sending my best wishes to Nicholas, I hope he is getting the mental health help he needs.
And I hope and 🙏 pray that they keep him safe in protective custody,
so he does not get injured or killed.
🙂❤💯👍🏻
17 people killed. This father didn’t just stand up for himself. He spoke for everyone who lost loved ones. Again, this justice system is crap. Killing 17 and no death penalty.
How is this the justice systems fault? It was the jury who decided whether life imprisonment or the death penalty.

As a father of 3 daughter's it would have took every ounce of strength to not take that boys life right there in that court room. Im so sorry to all the families and I commend this father for being able to express himself in this manner. I'm in tears
I respect you. This is the first logical comment I've seen yet. It's a parents duty, to protect their child to blood and bone.
Not one person would blame you either.
I'm sure if they were alone he wouldn't fair so well. But in front of a judge with cops and knowing you will be in jail forever makes it a little different. Nobody in these comments would have done a thing. Not because they don't want to, because they can't in that setting. Period.
*Taken, not "took."
