Why should the tax payers pay for him to live in prison for life, he should be given 1 week to think about what he did, then executed. And I don't want hear that it's cheaper to keep him alive.
The self control these parents had was beyond any words of strength I could ever phantom to use to express their courage. My deepest condolences to all the loved ones of each and every victim. 🥀
I could never sit there and listen to the words, “for the murder of” followed by my child’s name. These parents are brave. They are stronger now because of this.
The thing is if any of these parents murder him, they to get thrown in prison. The whole justice system is a joke, why can't I murder him myself. The kid should be tortured beyond belief then set on fire at the end. The whole bullcrap of we can't be monsters ourselves is bullshit, you wanna cut down on stuff like this, make the penalty so unbearable.
I also feel for the judge .She has to handle everyone and maintain sanity and put her emotions aside and I will never know how she went through the list of those poor people 😔
@@pippipster6767 if you've never encountered a high court / senior judge, who is highly intelligent, versed in legal matters, who's had a career handling the very best and worst in society, I expect your classic ignorance could be forgiven. Consider yourself educated.
Some say that a life sentence is harder punishment than the death penalty, and I believe it. Some witnesses to the execution of killers who murdered their loved ones say that the killer got out of it too easy. As a side note, note that the judge ordered that his commissary be garnisheed until all the various costs she listed were paid in full. That's probably going to make for an additional really cruddy feeling for a couple of years or so in whatever prison he goes to now.
I understand you, however, I believe that the rest of his life in prison, is much harder than allowing him to die. May God has mercy on him. Amen & Amen
30 life sentences consecutive w/o commissary is going to be hell. Any prison guard will tell you this guy is going to wish he was dead. No skiing, surfing, camping, bars, restaurants, lobster, margaritas, baseball games, vacations, or ocean views, canyons. He will be forgotten by public & die an old man. Deep inside himself alone on his bunk at night there will be regret till the day he dies.
Do you have knowledge about Mental Health and disorders? Do some studies and you wil learn about Psychotecic behaviors. That boy is seriously mentally ill and the school contacted FBI, who failed to assist Nikolas Cruz to get the help that he desperately needed. Think if he was your son or brother or relative. how will you feel knowing that he is gravely mentally ill.
@@TerriKnight-x3s The boy has severe mental health disorders from his early childhood. FBI was called by the school and they didn't respond. They are the ones to be blamed for everything.
Non person?. He was an 18 yr special needs student, whose parents left him when he turned 18. He had a house,a bed and no food. Then his school was dropping him because he had aged out of the special needs program. Since his parents didn’t care there were no plans to further his education or skills so he could be a productive human. He was left alone with a sever learning disability, no parents, no school and few if any friends. The child was lost and angry. The school community saw him as a drain on resources. This wealthy community only saw a looser who would not prosper like their kids. If anything, the entire community and school should be jailed.
I don't care who or what you believe in but no parent or person should experience the kind of pain these parents are going through. A bullet doesn't just end a life, it rips apart entire families and communities.
Really? What about firing someone who is competent in their field? What does that do to a person? I'm a fair person. I am not racist, but I am a victim of it. There's no way that a teacher can handle classroom management issues if he/she doesn't have the support of the other staff at a school. A lot of the schools have vicious administrators.They want others to act like they're Gods! Learn the truth!
@@EM2theBee It is if the person who was fired is also black balled in society, and no matter what he/she does, it's setup to where the person is either going to die from suicide and/or become homeless and die that way. Actually, in a way, it's worse because a homeless person is stripped of everything, and the mean people will have complete dominance over him/her. It doesn't matter how it's done, murder is murder, and ruining someone's life like that is the same thing as killing them with a gun. It just takes longer.
@@John-w9c7m Nikolas Jacob Cruz (born September 24, 1998)[1][2][3] is an American mass murderer who perpetrated the Parkland high school shooting, where he shot and killed 17 people while wounding 17 others on February 14, 2018. In 2022, Cruz was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for his involvement in the deaths and injuries caused during the shooting, which is the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history. Copy pasted from Wikipedia. Educate yourself
1:49 this really effed me up, the way they look at each other and put their heads together when they hear his name completely broke me and burst in tears, this is the first time someone else’s pain makes me feel with no control of my emotions, I can’t even imagine the pain they most be suffering, that’s it, I don’t want to become a father, I’ve been thinking a lot about that after seeing my parents struggle so much after my sister died and this made me decided for good, I just wouldn’t be able to handle it. I’m sorry for your loss to all the families.
Please don’t let this tragedy keep you from knowing the joys of becoming a dad yourself. Otherwise, he will have claimed at least two more victims (you and your future unborn child or children). Just because these children were unfortunate enough to be caught in his destructive path does not mean your future children will suffer the same fate too. You sound like you have a good heart and would make a loving and excellent parent.
The chances of this happening to your child are 0.004% according to FBI statistics from 2017. While there were 40,000 gun deaths that year, most were suicides. So, using elementary math calculations, this rounds to 0%. Have a kid and enjoy your life. Shit happens; don't let it erase your blood line!

How mentally and emotionally exhausting for everyone. I hope each person, aside from the murderer, can find some peace from justice served. Prayers to all victims and families.
I hope the murderer gets smacked, jumped, forced to do the most humiliating forms of actions for inmates entertaintment, punched raped, everyday single day till someone beats the shit out of him.

@@idontknowwhattoputhere.3572 how about respect other peoples religion and not be such a child? 🙄 who knows? praying and religion might be a part of op's culture so dont be so ignorant 😭
The way I see it, there's two sides to the life or death sentence debate. It feels like a waste having scum like this live off of tax dollars. Sentence them to death and get done with it. Don't spend any money on these beings. On the other hand, a life sentence can be a lot more punishing than dying. Being forced to live the rest of your life in prison, withering away without making getting to live out your life, let alone achieve anything significant. Someone committing such a disgusting crime, especially this young, should just be put in permanent solitary confinement, stuck in their cell without getting to leave it, without any free time activities. Obviously that's not a way to treat a human, but someone like this .. come on. While you're at it, put them on suicide watch so they don't get to take the easy way out. Really make him take in those 50-60+ years to come.
My deepest possible condolences go out to the parents, as well as all the siblings, extended family members, friends, acquaintances, members of the community, teachers/ staff at the school, all the first responders, all the medical personnel who treated the wounded and dying, all the funeral workers who respectfully handled the remains of all these dearly departed children and had to deal with seeing such horrible carnage, as well as anyone else who was affected by this horrible tragedy! There are so many victims, and affected people as a result of this senseless and horrible tragedy. My deepest condolences go out to all of you, and I am so sorry for your loss! I cannot fully fathom the depth of your sadness, but please know that the world grieves with you, and that your loved ones will never be forgotten!
@@seminole676 You know what your absolutely right! Their family members were killed in one of the most horrific ways imaginable, so how dare we offer our condolences to them! Douchebag!
I could barely hold back throwing up from the nausea I felt whilst even just skipping ahead frequently through this sentencing; I can't imagine how physically hard it was for those who already lost loved ones, but had to relive the massive weight of the damage this person has inflicted just by listening to how many counts of injury this person inflicted. Mostly the calm face of the guilty person alone made my head want to explode from the anguish in knowning how much pain they have caused.
@@grimreaper6112 9/11, do you think the surviving terrorists show remorse for the victims? There is a difference between war and murder. That is why there is a law dealing with War Crimes.

I know shes legally required to read all verdicts but it would have saved so much time if she could have just looked at him and said "your going to die in prison"
Saying something like that could give the impression that she has an opinion about the case, which is appealable, so it's best to remain as stoic and clinical as possible.
The defence were completely disrespectful to the families of the victims and tried to dehumanise them. Glad the families got the last say. They were powerful statements at the end. Hope the little shit doesn’t last long and gives these families some peace.
Oh I hope he lives many decades in his cage. Death is too swift. He needs to be afraid every single day and to always wonder if someone will beat him into an inch of his pathetic life. He needs to slowly forget what pretty girls look like, what fresh cut grass smells like, what the night sky looks like, what delicious food tastes like, what nice clothes feel like, what a great, live concert sounds like. He needs to slowly forget what good fun having a bbq with good friends and family is like. He will never have a profession, or a family of his own, he will never buy a nice car, he will never chose to eat what he wants, when he wants. He will get up when told, eat when told, go to bed when told. A life sentence is best in my opinion as this freak will eventually have a blurred image of what a good life is. He will develop the "institution shuffle", head down, feet dragging... He will struggle to remember, and do not doubt for a minute that it will kill him to want it so bad he will cry in the night. And he will hear other inmates also scream and cry out in the night. He will be surrounded by murderers and thugs for the rest of his repulsive life, without any love or peace. Sorry for the rant... lol Take good care and be safe! Isabelle in Canada
Well they say prison IS punishment, that what happens IN prison is not supposed to BE part of the punishment. Maybe, but IN prison I don't think he will have a nice time of it. Bubba and crew will have at him I would think. And I doubt th guards will come a runnin.
The garnishee order on his commissary account is brilliant.May he never again experience anything that will make his life bearable for the rest of his existence.
You can see the pain on the parents faces as she says them. How horribly sad. He just sits there stone face. Like this is what he wanted. All these babies and future ppl gone, the ones witnessed it. I love you all so very much. I'm always here if anyone needs help with a listening ear and validation, love and hugs.
So, just for the record, in my country, Mr. Cruz would be held for about a week then shot. You Americans are way too soft. You'll end up protecting him during his incarceration, and who's footing the bill? The American tax payers. Happy?
My heart goes out to the parents of the victims. You know their children are in God's loving hands but this consolation doesn't bring them back to live their lives with their friends and family here on earth. The sickness in a mind of a killer like this in just unfathomable to me.
@@TheRivrPrncess but god could have done something..but nope..if i had the cure for cancer and said no you dont get none, then what would you think of me as you lay dying....but if god doesnt help he gets a pass?...sure
It is hard for me to wrap my mind around what NC did and all the suffering and pain he caused! My heart and more inportantly my prayers go out to all the people affected!
i can't find the words to describe what the parents must of felt seating 6 feet away from that animal. The courage not to kill him themselves is indescribable. He will get what's coming for him inside the prison, someone will tear him a new one. R.I.P for the victims and my deepest condolence to the family that lost their children's.
I saw this by accident. I am in tears. I will never try to tell anyone how to forgive in a situation like this. Any of these killers get what they deserve. Their actions require a response that they can not plan for when they decide to kill other children. There is no way to explain it. I will always pray for these families and others who endure this type of pain. They don't deserve it. The parents of the killers don't deserve the pain they have to endure either.
If we don't forgive, we don't have peace. To harbor anger is evil. Those children who were murdered are returned to the Source of All Life. They're one with God again.
Sentenced to a life sentence is not good enough. The killer deserves to have his life terminated. Bring closure to this case and set an example for would be killers that if you kill someone the government will terminate your life. Public executions would serve to deter future murderers from killing innocent people.
The pained expression on the faces of loved ones. The poker-faced look of the accused. The calm sentencing of the judge. And the deafening silence in that courtroom. Sad for the victims. Sad for the families of the victims. Sad for America.
It's waste time reading out sentences on this object he's not moved either brain dead hard to figure out just eye opener for babies born into world from drug mothers when a female gets pregnant and are substance abusers should be aborted
Lol trust me she laughing in the assholes face she gave him 25 years for each victim he killed plus no parole. So he not getting out. That why she said each victims names. The family I hope will realize she did the best since Florida let him out otherwise since couldn't get death penalty.
I am so sorry that these families and this world has to go through things like this. I give the families of all the victims credit for controlling themselves. As a father of three, I am not sure that I would not have ripped his stupid face off in the courtroom! We need to protect OUR children! These kids are our collective future. My heart hurts for every single one of those young lives
Fret not, inmates seem always to find a way. His incarceration will be horrific, terrified about the retribution he will very likely face, he will be forever looking over his shoulder. Sooner or later, he will meet his end, and it is likely to be a very brutal end indeed. Forgive me Lord God, I have no pity for him.
@@FinnMcCool-ev6wlExactly. At this point the only thing he can do is listen respectfully to what the families have to say to him. Least he didn't roll his eyes or laugh like Darrell Brooks did during the victim impact statements in his trial.
She did a good job. My condolences to all the families, friends and the Emergency Professionals that had to deal with this whole sick mess. Thank you for your service. To the parents: My deepest sympathies go out to all of you. I am very sorry this happened, it is still very sad, all these months later.
I wish to express my sincere sympathy to the parents of these victims. Your lives have been forever altered due to the tragedies you have suffered, and my heartfelt prayers 🙏 for the easing of your pain have been said. As to the sentencing, I am grateful the life sentences were made consecutively rather than concurrently. This will ensure he remains in prison until the day of his death, so that he can never inflict harm to anyone else. God bless you all.
I feel bad for him as well. He was born to a drug addicted criminal mother who was incarcerated and had to give him up. He was adopted. Both of his adoptive parents died a few months before the mass shooting. Obviously this doesn’t justify what he did but it does shed some light on how people go berzerk. There is no way the drugs his mother was taking did not affect his brain.
His biological mother was a violent person so he learned it from her basically.. i say if lynda gave birth to Cruz he wwouldnt have a crazy thoughts on killing, as she a good person and did good in life, if she tried to discipline this physco go the right path without guns and killing life forms this wouldn't even happen. Even zach tried to help him but all failed.. This man was evil from the start of life cause of brenda
This is sad. How hard it must’ve been for the parents to keep their cool as they hear their dead child’s name while this worthless being sits there looking like he don’t care. So sorry for all of your losses. If it was up to me he wouldn’t have made it to jail he’d be dead before he got there. This is something no parent should ever have to feel.
Yeah if this doesn't call for the death penalty what does? What is Florida's 10/20 life deal? I genuinely do not know what that means but with that kid being as young as he is I think it means he will potentially get out with a fair amount of life left. Or am I totally wrong?
He doesn’t even look like he has any remorse for his actions! He’s almost sitting there like he’s an outsider looking at someone else whose done this. All the people effected by his choice including his mom and families are loss from grief! So very sad 😢
Was this kid actually being followed or was this person doing something non illegal and didn't even realize the kid was there or that he was freaking out? That is the question.
What drives a human being to destroy so many lives? What for? My heart and prayers go out to all the loved ones of the victims .May Gods Grace give them strength 😢
Ive been to prison. Protective custody only goes so far. Theres always a way to get to people. Inmates know the facility and how it operates better than the guards/staff. All it takes is time. Somethings gotta give.
now the police need to go on trail as well who were armed and stood down and did nothing while this slaughter was allowed to happen at least the person who gave the order should go on trial as well
@@renegadecomic7577 Broward County had deputies at the school and they were told to stand down,same with Uvalde the Sheriff didn't want his officers hurt.
I wonder... How long will he make it? For myself, I would hope it's at least long enough for him to feel the terror that he caused his victims, every single day. I hope he never has an 'easy' day, that he always has the fear of being called to account for his actions.
All of his life on the outside, people, including his mother, were scared or afraid of him I think because of his anger and rage. Unless he stays fully medicated, the same may happen in prison ... Or maybe he'll meet his match!
You know this turd can only die one time don't you? In Ancient times Generals called them Brave Men but they only died once all the same. This is why I oppose gun control. It didn't stop this turd or anyone else with a death wish.
This Cowardly Punk will not be by himself, staying safe from physical pain. He will physically be in pain many times over. He has had it easy. His understanding of his situation.. his reality, this Punk soon will have an awakening.
It pisses me off to no end that my tax dollars and the tax dollars of all Floridians will be used to keep this POS alive in prison. He is exactly why a death penalty exists in Florida. Judge Scherer presided over this mess of a trial with dignity. The Public Defenders office…that’s a different story. I can only hope some of not all of these clowns are referred to the Bar on character and mental fitness concerns.
--- Wholeheartedly agree. Appalling sentence. No justice served. Subject doesn’t just intentionally kill one or two or three innocent humans but seventeen and gets to fully live until he dies of natural causes while his victims don’t. But wait .. here’s the kicker... subject will live off his victims families and their friends tax payer dollars till he passes away, which realistically can be till he’s hundred or so years of age. His room (roof, bed, utilities, etc), board (food, clothes, etc), entertainment (board games, magazines, cards, TV, etcc), dental, medical...all FREE. How anyone can advocate for a life in prison sentence and or say this sentence is righteousness, is beyond my comprehension. Obviously the mind of a leftist loon. Same mind who say it’s okay to kill human babies just don’t hurt animals because they have rights. Same deranged minds of those climate change loons too. Normal people aren’t able to grasp or comprehend the minds of those sick sick twisted individuals. This is truly appalling. Tax payers have already footed more than $900,000.00 between incarceration and court costs. I have no further. I’m disgusted. 🤦🏻♂️ ----
I feel ya on this. Take hope in this, death penalty sentence comes with years of appeals and such, sometimes 10 to 15, while sitting on death row isolated. Life sentence a chance he gets to mingle with others and well….accidents happen. Just a thought
The death penalty would cost you more taxdollars than life in prison due to a longer legal proces, appeals, etc. I don't think this kid deserves any of that
My condolences to the parents and families of the victims for suddenly having their lives turned upside down beyond repair. May you all find peace as you attempt to move on. It’s so sad that there are such evil entities amongst US. The defendant showed no flicker of remorse. May he never find peace in his prison environment.
I am so deeply sorry for all the families that lost your precious ones and also the ones that got wounded this should have never happened the re needs to justice
This trial has been long and tortuous. The families have behaved with the greatest dignity, sitting thru the defence teams antics, they spoke well when given the chance, how they have gotten thru this, heaven knows. I admire each one of them. I hope the defence team suffer for their role in causing more suffering to those poor families. The judge has been amazing, I'm sure she has had many sleepless nights and shed many tears, but she has done her job admirably. Love and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
So, just for the record, in my country, Mr. Cruz would be held for about a week then shot. You Americans are way too soft. You'll end up protecting him during his incarceration, and who's footing the bill? The American tax payers. Happy?
Why on earth do you want the defence legal teams to suffer? They play a hugely important role in the judicial process. They are professionals doing their job, within the remit set by the law and judge.
The defense team had to do their job - Yes, this young man did a very evil thing and destroyed lives- and if he does not repent and turn to God ,he will receive an eternal life of damnation worse than prison!! The defense team did their job- I hold nothing against them!!!
You're absolutely right. The trial lasted way too long and the ignorant "Defense Team" mocked and disrespected the victims and their families and survivors and loved ones. We Floridians need to make a law that anyone who kills or murders any child 17 years of age or younger automatically gets the DEATH Penalty. Also all the members of the Defense Team should be hanged. And Nicolas Cruz should be put to death by the same method he did his victims. Where is that in the Bible?? Jesus Christ said "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you (Nicolas Cruz) do ye even so to them..." In short The Golden Rule Do unto others what you would have them do to you" So we want a Broward County Sheriff to do to Nicolas Cruz the same thing he did to 34: victims. They need to put him to death 34 times. One death for each victim...Oh wait...he only has one LIFE to give. Even if he gets the death Penalty, he will deserve 17 to 33 more deaths, to fully pay for his crimes. Wait a minute there's a GOD Almighty JESUS CHRIST Who is going to punish Cruz the rest of what Cruz stole from Florida at M.S.D. "For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ that every one may receive the things done in his (or her Casey Anthony) body according to that he hath done whether it be good or bad." 2nd Corinthians 5:10. Hebrews 13:8, Genesis 9:6.
I tend to be pretty cold when it comes to emotions. I cannot help but be moved by the loss and sadness of the families. Nothing will bring their loved ones back and they can rest in the knowledge that this "thing" will never get out of prison. I hate that the taxpayers are stuck with the bill for feeding and housing him.
it is impossible to understand the grief a parent feels when losing a child, the pain never goes away, my heart and deepest feelings go out to these parents.

I said that same thing, then remembered how long it took for James Holmes to be sentenced. Just ridiculous. The Rona also didn’t help this case move any faster.
My heart goes out to all the families of their children murdered. There's no way to have real Justice in a this... they couldn't even give him a death sentence...
Oh they could have. Had he done this in Texas that is exactly what he would have got and unlike other states the state of Texas follows through with death penalties.
What gratitude? Life in prison for 17 murdered and 17 injured? You think that’s enough and that she’s feeling gratitude? Gratitude would be to put this kid in the ground. Even THEN that’s one life to 17 innocent.

I understand you, however, I believe that the rest of his life in prison, is much harder than allowing him to die. May God has mercy on him. Amen & Amen
30 life sentences consecutive w/o commissary is going to be hell. Any prison guard will tell you this guy is going to wish he was dead. No skiing, surfing, camping, bars, restaurants, lobster, margaritas, baseball games, vacations, or ocean views, canyons. He will be forgotten by public & die an old man. Deep inside himself alone on his bunk at night there will be regret till the day he dies.
There are worse things than dying and I’m pretty sure this young man is going to become acutely aware of this reality…
The prison sodomy will be a death sentence in its own right.
This country is so messed up!!! 17 murders and NO DEATH PENALTY?????
Maybe something to do with his age at the time?
Do you have knowledge about Mental Health and disorders? Do some studies and you wil learn about Psychotecic behaviors. That boy is seriously mentally ill and the school contacted FBI, who failed to assist Nikolas Cruz to get the help that he desperately needed. Think if he was your son or brother or relative. how will you feel knowing that he is gravely mentally ill.
@@kennethbrancart You certainly have no knowledge of Mental Health disorders, so you run your mouth like a laxative
@@TerriKnight-x3s The boy has severe mental health disorders from his early childhood. FBI was called by the school and they didn't respond. They are the ones to be blamed for everything.
This non person did not deserve to live under any circumstances...period. My heart goes out to all who lost someone dear .
Non person?. He was an 18 yr special needs student, whose parents left him when he turned 18. He had a house,a bed and no food. Then his school was dropping him because he had aged out of the special needs program. Since his parents didn’t care there were no plans to further his education or skills so he could be a productive human. He was left alone with a sever learning disability, no parents, no school and few if any friends. The child was lost and angry. The school community saw him as a drain on resources. This wealthy community only saw a looser who would not prosper like their kids. If anything, the entire community and school should be jailed.

@@guitarttimman I suppose getting fired is comparable to losing a child to gun violence...O.o
@@EM2theBee It is if the person who was fired is also black balled in society, and no matter what he/she does, it's setup to where the person is either going to die from suicide and/or become homeless and die that way. Actually, in a way, it's worse because a homeless person is stripped of everything, and the mean people will have complete dominance over him/her. It doesn't matter how it's done, murder is murder, and ruining someone's life like that is the same thing as killing them with a gun. It just takes longer.

@@John-w9c7m he wasn’t, do a research before talking
@@John-w9c7m Nikolas Jacob Cruz (born September 24, 1998)[1][2][3] is an American mass murderer who perpetrated the Parkland high school shooting, where he shot and killed 17 people while wounding 17 others on February 14, 2018. In 2022, Cruz was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for his involvement in the deaths and injuries caused during the shooting, which is the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history.

1:49 this really effed me up, the way they look at each other and put their heads together when they hear his name completely broke me and burst in tears, this is the first time someone else’s pain makes me feel with no control of my emotions, I can’t even imagine the pain they most be suffering, that’s it, I don’t want to become a father, I’ve been thinking a lot about that after seeing my parents struggle so much after my sister died and this made me decided for good, I just wouldn’t be able to handle it. I’m sorry for your loss to all the families.
Please don’t let this tragedy keep you from knowing the joys of becoming a dad yourself. Otherwise, he will have claimed at least two more victims (you and your future unborn child or children). Just because these children were unfortunate enough to be caught in his destructive path does not mean your future children will suffer the same fate too. You sound like you have a good heart and would make a loving and excellent parent.
The chances of this happening to your child are 0.004% according to FBI statistics from 2017. While there were 40,000 gun deaths that year, most were suicides. So, using elementary math calculations, this rounds to 0%.
Have a kid and enjoy your life. Shit happens; don't let it erase your blood line!

The amount of murders and attempted murders and he gets life sentences not death is a disgrace and an insult to all the victims.
The way I see it, there's two sides to the life or death sentence debate.
It feels like a waste having scum like this live off of tax dollars. Sentence them to death and get done with it. Don't spend any money on these beings.
On the other hand, a life sentence can be a lot more punishing than dying. Being forced to live the rest of your life in prison, withering away without making getting to live out your life, let alone achieve anything significant.
Someone committing such a disgusting crime, especially this young, should just be put in permanent solitary confinement, stuck in their cell without getting to leave it, without any free time activities. Obviously that's not a way to treat a human, but someone like this .. come on. While you're at it, put them on suicide watch so they don't get to take the easy way out. Really make him take in those 50-60+ years to come.
Hell agree with you take him out back and plug him with holes like he did his victim's
The insult is that he didn't take his own life. Taking it now achieves nothing except negating the cost of incarceration.
Exactly killing more then 2 should give anyone death sentence
Yes it is
My deepest possible condolences go out to the parents, as well as all the siblings, extended family members, friends, acquaintances, members of the community, teachers/ staff at the school, all the first responders, all the medical personnel who treated the wounded and dying, all the funeral workers who respectfully handled the remains of all these dearly departed children and had to deal with seeing such horrible carnage, as well as anyone else who was affected by this horrible tragedy! There are so many victims, and affected people as a result of this senseless and horrible tragedy. My deepest condolences go out to all of you, and I am so sorry for your loss!

I could barely hold back throwing up from the nausea I felt whilst even just skipping ahead frequently through this sentencing; I can't imagine how physically hard it was for those who already lost loved ones, but had to relive the massive weight of the damage this person has inflicted just by listening to how many counts of injury this person inflicted. Mostly the calm face of the guilty person alone made my head want to explode from the anguish in knowning how much pain they have caused.

I know shes legally required to read all verdicts but it would have saved so much time if she could have just looked at him and said "your going to die in prison"
Reading each name and sentence gives each family member justice
Ditto
Saying something like that could give the impression that she has an opinion about the case, which is appealable, so it's best to remain as stoic and clinical as possible.
You forget the importance of closure for these parents. They need to hear the name of their child and the sentence for the murder.
@@tabithadente7139 can't appeal, he gave that right up when he plead guilty.
This really is a light punishment for this evil bastard. He deserves to be turtured in prison everyday for the rest of his life
Beheading is sufficient
He will be dealt wit in whatever prison he’s in.
The defence were completely disrespectful to the families of the victims and tried to dehumanise them. Glad the families got the last say. They were powerful statements at the end. Hope the little shit doesn’t last long and gives these families some peace.
Oh I hope he lives many decades in his cage.
Death is too swift.
He needs to be afraid every single day and to always wonder if someone will beat him into an inch of his pathetic life.
He needs to slowly forget what pretty girls look like, what fresh cut grass smells like, what the night sky looks like, what delicious food tastes like, what nice clothes feel like, what a great, live concert sounds like.
He needs to slowly forget what good fun having a bbq with good friends and family is like.
He will never have a profession, or a family of his own, he will never buy a nice car, he will never chose to eat what he wants, when he wants.
He will get up when told, eat when told, go to bed when told.
A life sentence is best in my opinion as this freak will eventually have a blurred image of what a good life is.
He will develop the "institution shuffle", head down, feet dragging...
He will struggle to remember, and do not doubt for a minute that it will kill him to want it so bad he will cry in the night.
And he will hear other inmates also scream and cry out in the night.
He will be surrounded by murderers and thugs for the rest of his repulsive life, without any love or peace.
Sorry for the rant... lol
Take good care and be safe!
Isabelle in Canada
He's not going to last very long when inmates hear what Nikolas has done.
The majority of inmates don't take kindly to those who destroy children.
I couldn’t believe that I saw one defense attorney LAUGHING with Cruz and giving an obscene gesture. I hope that person’s law license is reviewed.
“Nobody has had to endure what this defense has had to endure”. I was floored. Dumbass.

I get the feeling this guy feels like the day of his crimes was the best day of his life. There's no punishment harsh enough for him.
Well they say prison IS punishment, that what happens IN prison is not supposed to BE part of the punishment. Maybe, but IN prison I don't think he will have a nice time of it. Bubba and crew will have at him I would think. And I doubt th guards will come a runnin.
Life without parole seems a much worse penalty than death. I would choose death over the knowledge that I would never breathe free air again. Never.
The worst punishment of being sentenced to Life without parole is not the lack of free air ... It is having to live with your Conscious ...

I love you all so very much.
I'm always here if anyone needs help with a listening ear and validation, love and hugs.
So, just for the record, in my country, Mr. Cruz would be held for about a week then shot. You Americans are way too soft. You'll end up protecting him during his incarceration, and who's footing the bill? The American tax payers. Happy?
He obviously has issues.
What is his family backstory?
My heart goes out to the parents of the victims. You know their children are in God's loving hands but this consolation doesn't bring them back to live their lives with their friends and family here on earth. The sickness in a mind of a killer like this in just unfathomable to me.

I disagree life locked up is far worse then the easy way out and death knowing he will spend his last breath there is torture
I believe the inmates will administer the justice that the jury did not have the courage to do.
Them's Facts Jack Inmates are licking there chops and can't wait for this POS to get there
Just for the record it was only 1 juror that didn't have the courage to impose the death penalty
I'll bet he'll be kept away/isolated from the other inmates. I'm sure there are inmates that want to take a piece out of him.

How's Phil doing?
The pained expression on the faces of loved ones. The poker-faced look of the accused. The calm sentencing of the judge. And the deafening silence in that courtroom. Sad for the victims. Sad for the families of the victims. Sad for America.
It's waste time reading out sentences on this object he's not moved either brain dead hard to figure out just eye opener for babies born into world from drug mothers when a female gets pregnant and are substance abusers should be aborted
Lol trust me she laughing in the assholes face she gave him 25 years for each victim he killed plus no parole. So he not getting out. That why she said each victims names. The family I hope will realize she did the best since Florida let him out otherwise since couldn't get death penalty.
I am so sorry that these families and this world has to go through things like this. I give the families of all the victims credit for controlling themselves. As a father of three, I am not sure that I would not have ripped his stupid face off in the courtroom! We need to protect OUR children! These kids are our collective future. My heart hurts for every single one of those young lives
Fret not, inmates seem always to find a way. His incarceration will be horrific, terrified about the retribution he will very likely face, he will be forever looking over his shoulder. Sooner or later, he will meet his end, and it is likely to be a very brutal end indeed. Forgive me Lord God, I have no pity for him.

Feel for all the families who lost loved ones.
Oh well
My heart bleeds for these victims families 💔 😢 I lost 2 adult children and trust me nothing prepares you for that phone call...it shatters your soul
Cool
I feel bad for him as well. He was born to a drug addicted criminal mother who was incarcerated and had to give him up. He was adopted. Both of his adoptive parents died a few months before the mass shooting. Obviously this doesn’t justify what he did but it does shed some light on how people go berzerk. There is no way the drugs his mother was taking did not affect his brain.
His biological mother was a violent person so he learned it from her basically.. i say if lynda gave birth to Cruz he wwouldnt have a crazy thoughts on killing, as she a good person and did good in life, if she tried to discipline this physco go the right path without guns and killing life forms this wouldn't even happen. Even zach tried to help him but all failed.. This man was evil from the start of life cause of brenda
So very sorry, no parent should have to go through what you have all gone through.
This is sad. How hard it must’ve been for the parents to keep their cool as they hear their dead child’s name while this worthless being sits there looking like he don’t care. So sorry for all of your losses. If it was up to me he wouldn’t have made it to jail he’d be dead before he got there. This is something no parent should ever have to feel.
Where do you think he learned to kill?Wasn't born that way.America is a killing machine.Dont believe me,ask the native Indisns and Africans
He shows no remorse for his actions. My condolence to all the families that have lost their loved ones and those affected by this deadbeats actions.
I think that I would have lost it as a parent. This is heart breaking 💔💔
Yeah if this doesn't call for the death penalty what does? What is Florida's 10/20 life deal? I genuinely do not know what that means but with that kid being as young as he is I think it means he will potentially get out with a fair amount of life left. Or am I totally wrong?
If it was up to you? You wouldn't have done anything, stop trying to be all tough. You wouldn't even have had touched him.
He doesn’t even look like he has any remorse for his actions! He’s almost sitting there like he’s an outsider looking at someone else whose done this. All the people effected by his choice including his mom and families are loss from grief! So very sad 😢
completely agree, monster
Was this kid actually being followed or was this person doing something non illegal and didn't even realize the kid was there or that he was freaking out? That is the question.

I'm extremely hopeful that he doesnt get in protective custody

Wholeheartedly agree.
Appalling sentence.
No justice served.
Subject doesn’t just intentionally kill one or two or three innocent humans but seventeen and gets to fully live until he dies of natural causes while his victims don’t.
But wait .. here’s the kicker... subject will live off his victims families and their friends tax payer dollars till he passes away, which realistically can be till he’s hundred or so years of age. His room (roof, bed, utilities, etc), board (food, clothes, etc), entertainment (board games, magazines, cards, TV, etcc), dental, medical...all FREE.
How anyone can advocate for a life in prison sentence and or say this sentence is righteousness, is beyond my comprehension. Obviously the mind of a leftist loon. Same mind who say it’s okay to kill human babies just don’t hurt animals because they have rights. Same deranged minds of those climate change loons too.
Normal people aren’t able to grasp or comprehend the minds of those sick sick twisted individuals.
This is truly appalling. Tax payers have already footed more than $900,000.00 between incarceration and court costs.
I have no further.
I’m disgusted.

I feel ya on this. Take hope in this, death penalty sentence comes with years of appeals and such, sometimes 10 to 15, while sitting on death row isolated. Life sentence a chance he gets to mingle with others and well….accidents happen. Just a thought
I think the death penalty is actually more expensive if he was executed and maybe 30 years probably more expensive than him living another 60 years
The death penalty would cost you more taxdollars than life in prison due to a longer legal proces, appeals, etc. I don't think this kid deserves any of that
That's Florida for you.
My condolences to the parents and families of the victims for suddenly having their lives turned upside down beyond repair. May you all find peace as you attempt to move on. It’s so sad that there are such evil entities amongst US. The defendant showed no flicker of remorse. May he never find peace in his prison environment.
Real justice will be served when someone does him like someone did Dahmer.
Facts
Where’s our Christopher Scarver
I look forward to that day.
They killed the same amount of people too insane
No, hopefully, he'll come to Christ for forgiveness and repent. No one deserves to die without God's permission.
I am so deeply sorry for all the families that lost your precious ones and also the ones that got wounded this should have never happened the re needs to justice
I have no sympathy for this guy none. My heart hurts for these victims families.
The damage horror & pain he wrought on all those families is beyond measure. I so feel for them & their loss.
How can such a young man be such a monster?
A child who feels unloved by his village may burn it down just to feel its warmth.
No, a child who had major mental issues as was not put away when he should have been.
Vanidia Ogega.......watching to many killing videos on the net.
@@cassidypresley7154 this reply is both true and creepy.
How did it get to a point where anyone would want to do this.
It was hard to maintain my tears out of anger and saddnes.. I could just imagine how the victims family and friends felt. Dam!!
Life sentence! What the hell happened to death penalty!?
This is so sad watching the families of the victims. Why is he being allowed to live for what he did?
This trial has been long and tortuous. The families have behaved with the greatest dignity, sitting thru the defence teams antics, they spoke well when given the chance, how they have gotten thru this, heaven knows. I admire each one of them. I hope the defence team suffer for their role in causing more suffering to those poor families. The judge has been amazing, I'm sure she has had many sleepless nights and shed many tears, but she has done her job admirably. Love and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
So, just for the record, in my country, Mr. Cruz would be held for about a week then shot. You Americans are way too soft. You'll end up protecting him during his incarceration, and who's footing the bill? The American tax payers. Happy?
@@Bootmahoy88 I'm English!
Why on earth do you want the defence legal teams to suffer? They play a hugely important role in the judicial process. They are professionals doing their job, within the remit set by the law and judge.
The defense team had to do their job - Yes, this young man did a very evil thing and destroyed lives- and if he does not repent and turn to God ,he will receive an eternal life of damnation worse than prison!! The defense team did their job- I hold nothing against them!!!
You're absolutely right. The trial lasted way too long and the ignorant "Defense Team" mocked and disrespected the victims and their families and survivors and loved ones. We Floridians need to make a law that anyone who kills or murders any child 17 years of age or younger automatically gets the DEATH Penalty. Also all the members of the Defense Team should be hanged. And Nicolas Cruz should be put to death by the same method he did his victims. Where is that in the Bible?? Jesus Christ said "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you (Nicolas Cruz) do ye even so to them..." In short The Golden Rule Do unto others what you would have them do to you" So we want a Broward County Sheriff to do to Nicolas Cruz the same thing he did to 34: victims. They need to put him to death 34 times. One death for each victim...Oh wait...he only has one LIFE to give. Even if he gets the death Penalty, he will deserve 17 to 33 more deaths, to fully pay for his crimes. Wait a minute there's a GOD Almighty JESUS CHRIST Who is going to punish Cruz the rest of what Cruz stole from Florida at M.S.D. "For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ that every one may receive the things done in his (or her Casey Anthony) body according to that he hath done whether it be good or bad." 2nd Corinthians 5:10. Hebrews 13:8, Genesis 9:6.
Mercy for the guilty is cruelty for the victim.
I tend to be pretty cold when it comes to emotions. I cannot help but be moved by the loss and sadness of the families. Nothing will bring their loved ones back and they can rest in the knowledge that this "thing" will never get out of prison. I hate that the taxpayers are stuck with the bill for feeding and housing him.
R.I.P to all of those victims.. I am so sorry this happened to those family’s!!
If he was to reincarnate he would have to use that life in prison to 😂
it is impossible to understand the grief a parent feels when losing a child, the pain never goes away, my heart and deepest feelings go out to these parents.
My thoughts and prayers to all the families ❤
Did the parents request that the death penalty not be imposed?
My heart goes out to All of the victims including the surviving family members!
No they wanted it. It was the jury that decided it.
Praying 🙏🏻 for the families that have lost their loved ones 😢🙏🏻
Praying? That's funny. So, just for the record, in my country, Mr. Cruz would be held for about a week then shot. You Americans are way too soft. You'll end up protecting him during his incarceration, and who's footing the bill? The American tax payers. Happy?
The judge clearly was hurting inside for the families as she read off each name. Applause for maintaining a professional demeaner
I don’t think I could look at him if I were one of the parents without charging at him .
Hate breeds hate, so people will want to react how he acted. Dumb world
@@flukesl8615 what do you mean?
@@katherinegruber499 he wanted to shoot people for what he felt in his heart and mind and now people want to kill him for what they feel in their heart and minds. Cycle
@@flukesl8615 what would you expect?? give him a hug? If he killed my son there’s no way I could handle it calmly. By the way I didn’t say “kill”
@@katherinegruber499 no, just put him in jail and learn, some emotions are best controlled.
wth this happend in 2018 n we are barely getting to it ? the process is slow af
I said that same thing, then remembered how long it took for James Holmes to be sentenced. Just ridiculous. The Rona also didn’t help this case move any faster.
Covid delay
its sad that we delayed it because of rona but everyone partyin in clubs and wants to go out ,even when they have covid ,
My heart goes out to those families who have lost love ones.R.I.L.young souls gone to soon.
Bless the hearts of those who lost loved ones!!
we need to bring back the quick drop and sudden stop. waste of tax dollars and resources keeping him alive and well fed and comfortable in prison.
Eye for an eye
Death penalty is more expensive
Not really. Death rowe inmates piss away many more tax dollars through the appeal system.
He will not be comfortable. Requis, Jamal, and Demetrius will take care of that.
Also, life in prison is actually cheaper than death row/execution.
Parent is what makes kids ,love is what's keep us together,
My heart goes out to all the families of their children murdered. There's no way to have real Justice in a this... they couldn't even give him a death sentence...
Oh they could have. Had he done this in Texas that is exactly what he would have got and unlike other states the state of Texas follows through with death penalties.
@@mdp4022Oh, stop being a little snowflake.
God bless you all, in deeply sorry for your loss.
I love how as shes reading these charges and shes eyeballing him. You know she feels great gratitude in doing this sentencing. Fantastic judge!
What gratitude? Life in prison for 17 murdered and 17 injured? You think that’s enough and that she’s feeling gratitude? Gratitude would be to put this kid in the ground. Even THEN that’s one life to 17 innocent.
Judge Elizabeth Scherer exercised her duty as jurist with calm, resolve, and amazing strength.
She garnished his commissary as a way to pay restitution…omg prison will definitely be rough for him
My heart bleeds for him!
I loved that.
Hopefully he doesn’t get an easy out by offing himself.
@@stevenm8674 Hopefully someone does it for him and it is slow and painful.
Florida prisons are the worst in the country, the conditions are horrible .
Shame On that Defence Team Shame On Them Laughing With the Monster and Flipping the finger Name and Shame her 💯 May God Give 🙏🏻 these Parents Strength and Peace Utterly Disgusted at that Defence Team Not for Defending the Monster but for Showing No RESPECT TO THOSE POOR FAMILIES 💔🏴✌🏻
So, just for the record, in my country, Mr. Cruz would be held for about a week then shot. You Americans are way too soft. You'll end up protecting him during his incarceration, and who's footing the bill? The American tax payers. Happy?
That was disgusting, what a classless pig.
@@KONAMAN100 ??? 🤷♂️✌🏻
@@Bootmahoy88 what will he get hold for???
What’s the point of 20 life sentences?
If this isn’t a case for the Death Penalty then there isn’t one!! This really ticks me off!!
no remorse or reaction what so ever!!!
Sociopaths act like that. They have no feelings. They have the feelings of an iceberg.
Defendants are told my their lawyers not to react when the verdicts and sentences are announced. He was found guilty a whole ago. This was just sentencing, so basically he knew ahead of time what to expect.
What do you expect he is an evil sociopath.
