Her daddy, is an important figure in Broward. He moved the right strings, to get her in this spot. It was supposed to be a garunteed death penalty. The Judge would have been a hero. Now her future career is damaged, and the families get no justice.
@@alexandrostheodorou8387 i don't care what would of happened tard. You're bashing the judge like this is a small claims court. Kicks rocks mouth breather.
Alyssa's dad was right - all this trial showed was that his pathetic life was worth more than the 17 lives he killed and the dozens he injured - I think those 1 or 2 jurists that let him go should have had to listen to this, hear the impact statements of the parents he brutally murdered, and they should have to explain why they did what they did letting him off with so much less than he deserves
Life in Prison with the other inmates knowing what he was convicted of is a whole lot worse than death. What people should be hoping for is his sentence is spent in Solitary Confinement the rest of his days. 23 hours a day without a single soul in contact with you. No writing utensils, paper nothing but a box to suffer under the weight of what he has done is a whole lot worse than death. Death is an escape in my opinion. Monsters like this man should live in agony and intense loneliness to sit and have to be constantly reminded of what he has done.
I'm so glad the father called his prison# out. Now the other prisoners will know who he is. And if he's ever let into the general population of the prison. He will not live long.
You was laughing? There is nothing funny about 17 individuals being gunned down and their families, friends and everyone else are hurting. So Father in the name of Jesus whoever made this comment deal with their heart. Let them know that this was not okay to say. Save them oh God. Please. In your holy name Jesus. Amen.
My heart broke when Alyssa's mom spoke about trying to cover the gunshot wounds her daughter succumbed to and how she tried to warm her body with her hands. If this doesn't scream MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFE idk wat does. OUR KIDS deserve to go to school and TO BE SAFE THERE!! They DESERVE to walk out of those school doors the same way they walked thru them each AND EVERY DAY! May that evil POS get what he DESERVES in prison! Someone there will make sure of that, best believe.
Not really we should pull our kids out of school because of incels shooting up the place plus they indoctorate kids into thinking changing genders is ok etc etc world is coming to an end
A black family would never have this much anger or hate I see the difference now we actually would of forgave him and wished him well & not wanted him killed y’all a different kind of special
Someone will get him. For comparison, Dahmer didn’t even last 5 years inside. Being the one to end him will practically be a badge of honor in prison society.
its going to be really hard to get him in Florence supermax which is one of the toughest prisons. every prisoner is isolated and they are on a strict schedule. unlike Jeffery Dahmer, they can only work out by themselves. just to know how tough this prison is they keep high-profile murderers like Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, Ted Kaczynski, and many more. if he were to die in that prison it would most likely be one of the guards or some very suspicious curcumin stance or he does it himself.
I felt what mom said, a moms love cannot be described. Especially with our daughters😢 I pray they can heal and hope he gets gets everything he deserves
My heart breaks for these Parents. They all show the strength of their character by being able to stand so close to the murderer of their Daughter without lunging at that POS, I wouldn't be that strong. Blessed be to all of them. ❤
Heather G when thaat husband and wife got home they sat on there daughters bed and cryd and cryd so loud they were screaming then they sat in a corner whimpering for hours
I can’t stop crying at each parent’s final speech. I have a 3 year old. I was in high school when Columbine happened. Our school and teachers were in shock and tried to talk to students about it. I did not grasp the craziness of events then nor of 9/11 when I was in 9th grade. I do now that I have a child. She is 3. To think some asshole with a gun Will kill a defenseless person, this coward or in the case of our nation, these cowards, is just making you so angry you just want to get even. I can’t imagine my child going to school in 4 years and feeling like each day could be her last. Each day in SCHOOL…. Could be her LAST. What the f*** is wrong with our nation?!
Its not a gun problem he could have used a vehicle or a knife to kill. Unfortunately its just demonic and I just b lost someone to fentanyl that has been killing kids its just horrible all the way around.
What's wrong with our nation is democrats wanting to disarm our civilians and defund our police, otherwise mass shootings are incredibly rare and you live in the best country on Earth. No border conflicts, no civil war, no warlordism, so stop with your doom and gloom "wah please give me attention".
Out of the 40,000 Americans killed by guns in 2019 more than half were suicides, out of the homicides only 4% came from mass shootings, and out of all mass shootings only 10% happen at schools. So that's about 60 school shooting deaths or less every year compared to about 19,000 deaths caused by street violence, and out of the top 10 cities in the US with the worst street violence they all have Democrat mayors. If you want to make a change, vote red this Tuesday.
@@kidfox3971 first of , doom and gloom sir, I’m tired of finger pointing parties (both of them). Don’t like either. Both act likes toddlers and spill trash on each other. Also, in regards to our amazing nation “as is”. It’s not really. In terms of quality of life etc we are in 100th+ spot, look it up online. In terms of safety, I felt safer in Singapore although would not want to live there. While I believe in having guns, I also believe we have way too many loop holes If every shmack who loses their mind, goes around and shoots. You are right , it doesn’t happen often. But it happens often enough where outside countries make fun of us already and say it’s an American way to lose your sh”” and go shooting. By the way, we even have a saying to go “postal”. No one said all is bad. But I’m frustrated. Do you have a child you’re planning to bring into school soon? Are you cool with him possibly being shot at coz that’s the new norm. Is it Norma that this prisoner is getting love mail. Improving systems comes from folks not feeling ok with what’s going on. Same with product improvements and system improvements. We can keep waiting until there’s more shootings like in Gilroy, Uvalde, parade drive ins by a car killing many, or we can prevent and have serious consequences for these folks. What they do should not get glamorized and attention. People who died and innocent lives should get attention. Lastly, no one is taking your gun away. Folks are talking about better tracking of guns with serial # because you can built ghost ones for instance and no way to track. Finally, this only becomes important when you realize your loved one could be shot coz you have a kid who goes to school. I also didn’t care 10 years ago and used to say that you can kill someone with a pencil. But all of sudden, I realized my kid will go to school in 4 yrs. And honestly, random “get even” shootings, I’m over them. Only in US do people take other people’s lives this way when they are mad about whatever that might be so often. It’s way too frequent at this point even if it’s 2 shootings per year. It’s not normal to even have one. Let’s not get desensitized.
@@ilsegonzalez811 3 Jurors refused giving the killer the Death Penalty. He got life with no parole. Which is what he wanted. His lawyer got in trouble for giving the finger and Lol.. The defense made it seem like he slipped through the cracks, with not getting help for his issues. That was a lie. He had more help for his mental illness then I ever heard. He had doctor's and therapy, help for his speech. Defense didn't mention any of that. He 47 sessions with his doctor, and therapist. He belongs on death row.
@@cgarza1260 that is one way of looking at it, however, if he gets the death penalty it can make other maniacs think twice before doing something like this.
As a parent I can’t imagine hating him I guess ima real Christ loving being I mean at first yes I would probably hate him but I’m 100% in the end I would forgive and not hate and wish death and misery on him
I can’t listen to her without crying and feeling her pain. Not even the amount of pain she is experiencing. The pain I feel for her is not near the pain she has. God gives you strength Queen🤗!
Same. All of these statements were powerful but as a mother, this woman’s pain was unbearable to hear and feel. I cried for her, with her. Their daughter was absolutely beautiful. I pray they can find even a bit of some sort of healing.
I’m crying watching all of their statements. I can’t even imagine the pain, how they have the strength to go on after having their loved ones taking away in such a brutal and horrific way. I think praying is wonderful for those who believe, but I also think if people care they need to fight for change. There’s always something you can do to help. My hearts are with the families and the victims, I will pray and fight for change and I hope everyone who has been following this trial does the same as well💜
These parents heartbreaking statements unfortunately fall on the mass murderers deaf ears. The very fact that they have the capacity to set up foundations to honor their children speaks to their character and the children they were raising. I pray that no one ever forgets the names of their children that were murdered.
@@smendonca9859 I normally don’t inquire whenever I see such (vague) comments such as the brief one-word responses you’ve made here, but……….. Are you OK??? I’m a great listener if you need to talk / vent to someone “anonymous.” 😌
my half sister homeschooled her four children and so many of them are socially stunted it's crazy LOL. don't let these monsters deprive your child of a normal, happy, social upbringing.
As someone who's been to prison, I PROMISE the death penalty is better than life in prison. Even though it's hard to swallow, they should be happy he got life over the easy way out.
Dead means he no longer suffers...thinks...has to deal. No no noooo... life behind bars, till he dies. Let those prison folks serve him well, every,single,day.
THIS!!!!!!!!!!! It’s what I’ve said all along!!!!!!!!!!!! W/the DP, an inmate (eventually) KNOWS their DOD. W/LIFE (w/o parole), an inmate never knows if any particular / given day will be their last. I do hope & pray NC lasts maayyyybe (5-10) years behind bars before someone (fellow inmate) puts an end to that POS’s earthly existence-giving him just a few more years of misery of each passing day’s “unknown.”
I live in TN and I've had friends in FL prisons and they have said FL and Georgia are the worst it's basically Ike living in a 3rd world country ppl getting stabbed to death ect. Not even letting families kno what happened to loved ones under staffed like 200 inmates to 2 guards this kid is used to a jail not a prison and he was in pc now he may stay in pc for Lil while but give it 5 years he will be in population and in a maximum security prison this kid won't last a year
I couldn't have expressed it better myself. God bless you both, Lori and Dr. Alhadeff. May your beloved Alyssa's memory continue to endure as an eternal blessing. 🕯️ ❤️
Listening to these statements has me screaming inside, I can only imagine the constant pain and internal screaming these hurting parents feel. I’m so sorry for the loss and pain they’ve had to face 💔💔💔
Your comment is SO right. These poor people have gone through enough!! It shouldnt be on them to have to do this because the people that CAN & SHOULD be making the changes toward right just arent. These families are so, so strong.
This trial has affected the judge mentally as well, I truly hope that everyone mentally affected is able to seek help/therapy of this trial. I can only imagine the images and videos all has had to see in this trial. Traumatizing.
I'm not a parent but man these statements are truly heartbreaking tried to warm her body with my hands man that's just awful I hope these families get peace or something close to it
I've sobbed through all of these victims speeches. I can't even imagine what they feel daily. I'm absolutely heart broken for them and the victims. This trial was so appalling and demeaning to these victims and their families. I just cant even comprehend how he gets protected and they get paraded like a joke. May they all Rot in hell. I know they wanted the death penalty for him and I agree but I can't help but think how that is the easy way out. I wish nothing but days of the worst suffering a human being can feel.
I dont know if it was intentional but it felt powerful and a great tribute to their daughter that her number for Soccer was 8 and the time from when they started their statements was 8 minutes. All these parents giving their statements are so brave and I hope one day they can find the peace that they deserve
My heart breaks for you and your family for the loss of your forever Angel 👼🏻 ❤😢 The strength you both have astounds me…. I’m so so so sorry for the loss of your baby girl … 😢😢😢❤️🙏🏻
Such strong messages coming from two strong individuals. They're in pain, and their love for their daughter was truly remarkable. Alyssa was unbelievably beautiful and talented. Although I've never seen Alyssa play soccer, I am sure her talent lives on. RIP
These parents are suffering so much but what they do not realize is that this Monster loves every minute of it. He will replay their suffering with DELIGHT when he is alone. He is a sociopath who relishes pain and suffering - it feeds him in every way. I am happy they are given this time to express themselves but for one such as this Monster it is his lifeblood.
He doesn't feel bad at all. Cruz was only disappointed it wasn't more fun for him to do it. He was hoping for more screaming. And it was too easy and he hoped to kill more peolle out the window but couldn't. Per his interview with detectives.
The pain is huge...I wish them all the strength to focus now on healing and to be able to celebrate their daughters love and life, as their daughter surely wants them to do.
I have a daughter and I can't imagine the grief and pain all the families are going through. It's heartbreaking to see them speak and they are all so incredibly brave and strong, and so unselfish with working to try and stop this happening again
@@timothywait9457 Can't believe what a low life you are. You think people who cry are not brave??? If that happened to a child of yours I doubt you'd give a shit because you're so 'brave'
As a mother who has lost 2 children, I cry and share these families pain. When you’re robbed of the very beings that you live for .. that you helped create and live and protect .. you heart and mind go savage. That thing will get his for destroying these families lives.
@user-en7nr7tp1z yo I was gonna say the same thing! Yeah, they act like it’s so beautiful but they know how disgusting they really are and yet they expect us to respect them ha ha ha
This is so painful to watch, I can't stop my tears. My heart hurts for the victims and their families. I hope they find some peace after this sentencing🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😢😢
Did you see the look he gave when Alyssas mom talked? It was a sneer - almost a humorous look. I wish those parents could each have 1 minute alone with him to do what they want...to do what he deserves...
I fear this every single day I send my child to school. We constantly talk about what she should do if something like this happens as I dont always agree with what the school thinks. They want them to cower and hide waiting to be killed. I tell my daughter if she sees a window or a door to get out and do not look back. She can call me or her Dad when she gets far enough away. We discuss which classrooms have windows or doors or where exit points are depending on which class she is in during the day. If she is trapped I want her to fight for her life. Or worst case scenario play dead. I pray it never comes to that. I have suffered loss, but this is unimaginable. I pray for these families and their beautiful children. I hope one day we can send our kids into the world without fear of school shootings. 🙏♥
This judge held her composure so well through all the victims’ pain… you can see the pain in her eyes but she had to keep cool so the scumbag defence can’t call a mistrial… what a compassionate and composed judge
No matter what she didn’t deserve to die like that . She was beautiful and so talented . My heart broke hearing her parents speak . Rest in Paradise Alyssa.
This is absolutely unbelievable that these families suffer from that monster. I pray everyday that the world will rise up against these horrible shootings and keep our country safe. It is not right that this monster is able to go to prison and get away with what he did. As I watch these videos I feel like I’ve lost hope in our justice system because of this horrible tragedy with no justice. For any of the victims, parents, friends, and family’s I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong, and I pray that you all find peace.
nikkipennington if those parents did not lose there Children i suspect if they watched a you tube of parents that did it would not affect them i can see inter deeper truths
what the parents said they are correct. the schools need to be safe sometimes i don't even feel safe when i go to the schools to help at disabilities programs.
@Judith Gerard He was mentally ill from childhood, diagnosed with autism and because everyone ignored it, making fun of him for being different he grew into a mass murderer. If you want to FIX the problem, his murder isn’t the answer, it is finding how health care professionals, schools, parents, and others can do something before it reaches this level. I was a victim of bullying for a long time and today I suffer from severe depression and anxiety which are treated with medication that I have to take every day.
@Judith Gerard I agree I also feel for the families as well to. a few years ago back in 2008 I learn that one of my friends who wanted to understand about autism passed away by a falling tree in New Mexico he and 2 others was camping and they saw a loose log on the tree and was trying to take it down but it also got tangle with another tree and then a few mins later the tree trunk fell ontop of my friend and he was killed and it was hard for me and his family and I still miss him.
@Judith Gerard thanks. are you farmiler with autism? im also Autistic and i help at autism events. what got you into being a biology and chemistry teacher?
Agreed. Some of these trolls that are appalled that he is being referred to as an "animal". Well, I love my animal the same as if she were a person and i'm sure majority of pet-owners would agree. Even big, wild animals don't kill just for the hell of it. They do it as a necessity. There are tons of evil ppl in this world, but i've never heard of an evil animal!! I actually feel bad for all the poor, innocent animals that this child killer is being compared to.
I don’t understand how people do things like this and put people in this kind of pain every one of this has got me bawling my eyes out my prayers are always with the familys
The fact these families had to be reminded of this every day for 4 yrs!! Why did it take so long!? At least it's over and they can try and heal from this tragedy 🙏🙏
One can only hope and pray that the inmates will show the monster NO MERCY… that they will use him day and night… that he will pray for death… that death will not come… just pain..misery… and a body wracked with pain. Though I believe Old Sparky should have been your sentence, I am rethinking that keeping you alive and in absolute pain would be more appropriate.
GOD BLESS each one of these beautiful families 🙏 my heart is broken for everyone who lives were altered all because of this evil entity that just because his life was worthless he decided to inflict harm to innocent people who had so much to offer this world 🌍 GOD Wrap your loving arms around these precious families gave them strength and courage and blessings and showering with your Love 🙏🙏💜💜🌹🌹
This was so heartbreaking to hear. I couldn't imagine the pain these parents are feeling. Her death affected much more than just her friends and family. It affected her would be-future husband, her would be- future children, her would be- future grandchildren and so on. When NC killed these kids, all their hopes and dreams were stolen from them.
NK statement to the victims how he thought they want him to “to pull through because I know that’s what you want me to do” how he thought they would love and hug him would be almost comic if it was not under these circumstances. I mean 8 times shooting this beautiful girl who loved soccer over 8 times is reprehensible and just disgusting
