Nikolas Cruz's 15-year-old victim likely on ground when fatally shot in neck, med. examiner says 

@cpw vuk fo

So sad. I can't imagine and yet they HAVE to be there,for their child's memory and closure.

His mom's grieve just crushes me as a mom. I think anyone with a lick of empathy would have feeling for this. 😞😭

@@Ambah818 Not Cruz. He did not shed one tear (that I noticed) during medical examiner testimonies or impact statements where even most of his own defense team were blubbering messes. They sure drew shitty straws as public defenders to be assigned to represent this evil monster. Being completely devoid of empathy is how someone could do such heinous acts of violence and cruelty. God bless his poor mom and dad. 💔

A gentleman & a scholar ... dude's a hero.

Yeah! Not a lot of medical words, easy to understand how horrible what happened!

Yes, he's a brilliant man. He keeps his terminology simple for all people to be able to understand. This must have been very difficult for the family to hear. Those details would add to the devastation. NO kid should go to school, and not come home. NO kid should have to have drills on how to act in these events, because these events should not be happening. I'm praying for all these families. R.I.P to these victims......

He humanized the medical terminology

My heart goes out to the families that have to relive this night mare please put this kid in prison for the rest of his sorry life no no parole i wonder if he has any remorse for what he did or does he not care

@@cynthiadavid5282 hopefully he has some type of remorse/guilt. How can he not!?!? Then again, in the first place, who does what he does? It takes a certain kind of "sick/mentally ill" to do what he did!! I just hope the victim's families can find some sort of peace..... It puts me in mind of Carrie Underwood's song called The Bullet. Give it a listen. It's a good song......

@Antinatalist Shut up

@@iiLoveAutumn They were someone's babies.

@@makeupchick9544 so was Cruz then a Baby killing Babies?

They were in their teenage years 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, 12th grade.

@@emboarepicthose are babies. Their whole lives ahead of them. All with dreams and skills that they’ll never get to exceed or fulfill. Just babies new to all that was to come from life.

Some Christian always professing " forgiveness " because it wasn't their kids that were killed 😞

@@caramelbilqueeslol no. These are liberal voters in the most blue county in Florida. They weren’t preaching Jesus that’s for sure

@@caramelbilqueesnot true. There are plenty of Christians who have lost children in school shootings who forgive the killer

Maybe, probably, they already knew about it. If I'm one of the parents and I hear about all this details about how my child died, I would have cried and hyperventilate imagining it

@@ReyKaf they probably had to identify their kids :( so they probably knew at least partially the gruesomeness, but to hear it all read outloud in an autopsy report in court WITH the killer there... man that sounds gut wrenching

Idk how they kept their composure!!!! To have to identify your child is one thing but to actually hear the details of what the bullets did is entirely another & with the killer sitting right there....... I Can't Even Imagine the Pain their going thru!!!!! God Bless 'em!!!!!

Horrific, capital G for God.

That's a nice sentiment, but his background has nothing to do with justice! Look at the size of the psychopaths legal team, there is no shot he gets what he deserves.

@@davedronski7749 quality over quantity. If there is enough evidence against him he can still get the death penalty

@@davedronski7749 you don’t know that.

@@davedronski7749 I just really like and respect the guy-- it's my simple hope saying "assure" justice will be served. Idealist, yes, I know.

He seemed to describe the wounds and impact on the bodies very descriptively it seems almost on purpose, which is good bc the jurors are obviously gonna be swayed through emotion, I hope justice is served.

While it might be hard for them to hear, this was absolutely necessary and I’m so glad he did this. He needed to paint this picture for the world and the jury. Those children suffered terribly and we should know how. And more importantly, we should acknowledge that suffering with justice.

@@BMarie774 why is it our business to know? It would be nice if the government could pull out military from an occupied country successfully and station 2 soldiers in every school instead. They could even have a piece of equipment in the parking lot instead of abandoning it in Afghanistan. I’m sure that would discourage any shooter with a “powerful AR” How about instead of scaring the public with testimony they put fear into the hearts of the killers instead? Why do they only teach schools Sex Ed to ensure population doesn’t grow, instead of also teaching firearm safety to save lives? Because more people die from accidents using firearms than shootings. But people also die from cars way more. Even fists kill more people. My point is that showing an entire world of strangers the pain of grieving parents and how effective these firearms are at defense to invoke fear and entertainment is wrong. They are making so much money on this the parents will never see. These rifles are to remain available in case of government oppression. With pistols we wouldn’t stand a chance in hell.

@@oldaccount5217 it's not to put fear in us. It's so the jury decides the death penalty over life in prison. He is the states witness for a reason.

​@@oldaccount5217 "why is it our business to know?" ... no one is forcing you to watch this.

@@oldaccount5217 While I do agree we should be teaching about firearm safety, Sex Ed is more to stop teenagers having unsafe sex that leads to teen pregnancies. Also a military soldier in schools wouldn't help, plus very odd. They put security guards and some police personnel in schools since 2015/16. Do wonder what happened? Some of those left their guns in bathrooms and common areas kids would be around multiple times. A kid would now have access to a gun if they stole the gun. Don't even think about arming the teachers cause it would also be easy for a kid to steal it from the teacher. There has already been a teacher that brought a gun into school and barricaded his classroom, just suiciding basically. The students and staff members didn't see any changes in behavior and the posts leading up to it was happy, inspiring, quotes or comments. People snap for one reason or another. It should be that we pull back on gun manufacturing, Take away the unnecessary weapons you can legally buy right now, better access to therapy or physiatrists and stricter gun laws. Cause we make more guns then our whole population, and you can buy a grenade launcher and flame throwers. The main thing people say is that they buy a gun to protect themselves, well more guns equals more problems.

@@SethiozProject you sad soul.

@@SethiozProject im sorry you're going through pain as well. I am all ears to your pain if you want to talk about it.

@@SethiozProject Life gets better bro, trust me it does. It’s easy to fall into darkness, pulling yourself out is difficult. Good luck on your journey friend.

@@SethiozProject Hard to believe but most of us do go thru alot of pain in life but not all for the same reason, my son has been thru a tough life battling depression for many years when he lived with his Mom which was very abusive more mentally but some physical I took to many Doctors and they tried almost every medication until they finally got it right, medication and Counseling please don't let it keep building up and explode with anger or revenge, I have a brother in Prison his whole life for murder he was going to kill himself from what he told me, be careful what you think because you might just act on it like my brother did.

@@SethiozProject emo ? Goth ? Potencial shooter ? 🤔

This is incredibly well-put

He is remarkable.

He was saying that specifically for the second wound, and only if he received immediate medical attention. Tragically though, the first wound was fatal. I'm not trying to be cold or anything, just clarifying. Regardless, their heartbreak is very real, of course. I think that goes without saying.

@@SethiozProject wtf??? Omg I can u even compare?? The nerve of u 🤬🤬🤬

Trust me. He doesn't care. If he did, this wouldn't have happened. The all powerful, all knowing, god orchestrated this. He know's who will do what and when. He just sits back, laughs and enjoys the show he dictated. All he has to do is snap his fingers. Only thing I can think of is he's evil. 17 families destroyed. For what? Why does this continue?

@@michellefrost85 Thank you! I get so irritated with these people that bang on about this “god” of theirs! Religion was created in hope it would keep law and order. That people would fear bad consequences in life and death if they committed crimes. If there was a god , this holy person, why are people on their knees praying , begging at his mercy. It’s all wrong and religion causes nothing but pain!

Me either

Having a kid is dumb af 2022

Not only listening to it but seeing it , I couldnt even stand to see strangers , this is terrifying and sad , peace be upon them really it's sad

Yet you can easily imagine forcing a new human into existence who can be the next school shooter/victim. Don't cry about suffering that was well known ahead of time. If you procreate, you accept the risks of the evil your offspring will be subjected to or create for others

but your heart doesn't break when evil girls like Angie play on Cruz's feelings and make him suffer? this blood is on Angie's hands, Cruz just did a horrible thing out of desperation. Ask yourself this: If Angie would have accepted Cruz as her boyfriend, do you think Cruz would have still gone thru with this shooting? because I can bet my own life on it and say NO! he would have been happy and thrown this idea out of his head, but this b!atch Angie had to reject him... it's all her fault.

@Annon_28 You're like the fly at a picnic... unable to partake in the festivities at the level of a human, yet a superfluous annoyance ... my friend

Only if you treat said offspring like crap. Creating monsters isn't hard, out happens every single day.

@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Eh, humans don't look at statistical anomalies when establishing facts. I don't think it's a weird thing to not be able to comprehend the grief that parents have when they lose their teenage child, in fact, it being so rare makes it a feeling many of us will never go through. It's not that deep bro, nobody is "forcing" anyone to do anything. Humans reproduce just like everything in this world. Just call the event what it is, which is unfortunate, and we need to be better about treating each other better. No need to be super edgy.

And totally pre meditated! I saw the videos he made laughing and saying you're all going to die.

Totally agree with you.Evil as they come.

Apparently Nikolas Cruz's mother was on crack cocaine while she was carrying him and so he had crack cocaine going into his brain before he was born. As a result he likely has brain damage because of it. As one would expect he has had associated behavioral problems, including violence, all of his life. But you're right, let's put him to death. That will solve the problem for sure. Until of course the same thing happens again. Oh wait. It already has.

and how many of them had dates planned for that day?!

Imagine the pain and horror Cruz has been going thru his entire life. imagine how a lonely and depressed guy like Cruz feels like when love of his life rejects him and calls him stalker, this is so horrible. no wonder he broke, he was desperate and desperate times ... require desperate measures, he did the last thing he could. I don't blame him.

@@SethiozProject bruh

@@SethiozProject I see you in multiple replys trying to justify cruz's actions.. How can u pretend that this was justified in any way.. If you get to the point where you are so depressed, sad, in pain or whatever else, there still isnt any justification for murdering innocent people. Why should they suffer/die to "share his pain"??? As much as suicide is a terrible thing as well, i could MAYBE understand such an action. Killing people wont make you feel any better, and sure as hell wont improve any of your personal issues. I really hope you change the way you think...

@@SethiozProject 17 dead, 17 injured, thousands broken, and you have the audacity to say "I don't blame him".

This doctor's military background overseas prepared him to handle injuries from going to school in America... When I let that sink in...:(

O.k. If you would have explained yourself more like a civilian instead of writing abbreviations. I would have understood you.

It’s not a military thing, it’s everywhere. Everyone seems to use acronyms excessively nowadays.

It's sad that such a background is needed to explain the wounds on a kid that was simply at school. I will never understand why the U.S. is doing nothing about gun laws.

I bet he committed the massacre in the first place because of people like you who call him a demon.

That’s what they should do leave him to the parents

@@deviantlord142 most people do get bullied in school, have also been rejected in love and don’t murder people. So yes, he’s a demon.

@@deviantlord142 had he not committed the massacre maybe the word demon wouldn’t have to be used.

I get what you mean by 'demon' but I wish people would stop making such comparisons. It plays into his defense that he was possessed or acted with the influence of something not of this world. He is just a man. A man that committed an evil act and hopeful will face the harshest punishment. Then die like the sad man he is.

He's HEAVILY medicated on psychotropic medications.

There work had been done!

i wonder where the voices were when he went to eat at mcdonalds right after he killed children.smh.

Yup. Biggie Smalls was shot 4 times but 3 out of the 4 were not fatal, missing all of his vital organs until the final shot; the bullet went through his hip and ricocheted into his colon, liver, heart, upper lung and stopped at his shoulder. It truly depends on where the bullet goes. I remember reading about Dustin Theoharis, he was shot 16 times including being shot in the head multiple times and LIVED. He’s not paralyzed or disfigured or anything, just certain joints are more prone to injury now. The human body weird asf

@@XXXTENTAClON227 wow that’s amazing , you learn something new everyday .

@@theyluvaariel these people were shot with a rifle as opposed to a hand gun. The velocity of the bullet fired from a rifle is about 3 times that of a handgun. The equation for kinetic energy shows that speed of the object is exponentially proportional, so by tripling the speed, the energy is about 9 times greater. When the bullet hit a person the energy is released into tissue bones as well as the bullet fragmentation. The tissue is first crushed by temporary cavitation then lacerated by the projectiles (bullets and bone fragments)

He explained that if he had sustained that injury alone, he could've been saved, but the other injury was fatal..

Could have been a possibility yes, been watching this trial for a while now and to my understanding luke and another boy (Martin Duque) were the first victims, they were knocking on their classroom door to get in and at that moment the shooter shot at them probably hitting Luke in the hip first, the shooter went to the other side of the building and started shooting other kids, after that he went back to where he shot luke and the other boy martin and shot them again while they were on the ground, i believe that was the fatal shot to the jaw that ultimately killed him. So yeah if they did pulled luke into the classroom after the first shot and helped him he might have survived
