It is beyond anything I have ever heard. 17 murders and all the whiners regarding the death penalty. I have been a taxpayer for 45 years. The taxes on my income that I worked for all my adult life and continue to pay on my retirement income will keep you alive so that you can enjoy a warm bunk to sleep in at night, enjoy free dental and health benefits (my health benefits cost my $1000 a month), enjoy free cable TV, three square meals a day, and everything else my taxes give to you free of charge for the rest of your natural life. If you had done this in any other country than the United States you would already be swinging from a rope.
SOS SOS SOS.
VER BOE.
MONITORIZACION NAZI EN ESPAÑA.
BIOMONITORIZACION NAZI.
Actually, there was one moment of emotion, when a victim's girlfriend told him she was worried for him in class and felt compassion for him at the time. Then, he signed a huge one, the only time he showed any movement, emotion.
I hereby sentence you to a lifetime of healthcare and consistent food supply for the rest of your natural life. I sentence you to a lifetime of this treatment at our expense.
He is an American Hero 🇺🇸 it was self defense! Like his boyfriend Kyle Rittenhouse! So brave 🇺🇸🇺🇸
More guns more klling. Trump.silence he a petophike nazi
Don't say his name.
He won't make it in prison…..He will live in fear…cause he has no feelings..it would have been easier with death….he will wish he was dead sooner than later
About time. Garbage with two legs.
Why does this take 4 FN YEARS!!????
WATCH OUT FOR TELE CRIMES ON TVE AND LULA DETAINED.

Sam was really emotional about this
Maybe if you Americans paid as much time looking after people – especially kids – who have mental issues – rather than spending huge amounts of money on other countries and your military – these types of actions would not be so common! Maybe do something about bullying! (?) look at your gun laws. And do you think that this young man cares about your pain – you lost ones!
The inmates will take justice in their hands the krama comes round
I’m in love with that judge.
Only safe place for this dude is Guantanamo Bay
These parents have so much more strength than I would have. There could be nothing more heartbreaking than watching your child die at the hands of a monster. Since the majority of men in prison were childhood victims of violence, abuse and trauma I look forward to hearing about his "life" in prison.
I got rid of my TV about a year ago, can't stand all the bad news, everyday.
RIP to all those kids. Still shocking
The families of the victims showed tremendous strength to have tolerated watching those defense attorneys work exceptionally hard in an attempt to portray that beast as some sort of poor little lost soul who had such a terrible life.
It’s mind boggling how public defenders rarely work that hard to defend evil, yet these vile humans spared no expense of the taxpayers dime to defend this evil beast.
I don’t believe anything the lying media says now, not one thing!
False Flag, in my opinion. Outrageous that Broward sheriffs were told to stand down. .. Not to be addressed. Fired Sherif ‘in Chief?’ Yeah.. big whoop.
HALLELUJAH❗️ my heart goes out to the parents . Nothing will replace their children.😡😢😡😢
They should’ve done the death penalty…. That’ll teach others not to do the same.
The death sentence is an easy out for this monster. And unfortunately, it's not the closure that people think it will be. Let him sit and rot in prison until he dies. He's a child killer. They are not looked upon favorably by the incarcerated population. Think about him living in constant fear (white, 24, 5'7") never knowing safety. Or perhaps he will be in an isolation cell with an hour each day alone in the prison yard.
Whew. I deeply bow to you noble & heroic parents. I pray for heaven to be near us all, in these times, pouring out love, relief, peace & a desire/effort for The Good.
the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is not to sell him a gun in the first place.
I hope his prison mates take capital punishment upon themselves and do to him what he did to all the people this shooter hurt.
I think he should have gotten the death penalty just like all mass shooters should, but the next best thing is life without parole. Knowing he will never step foot out of prison s somewhat comforting. I do understand the parents wanting the death penalty and feeling like justice was not served because he didn’t get it.
Cruz showed no emotion when he took down his mask while the woman testified in court. A lifeless psychopath. He deserved the life in prison and no parole. Let him rot in prison and the other inmates/ guards teach him a lesson.
Despite the economic downturn, I'm having the best time of my life financially. Earning over $83k in the last 2months with an investment of $19,000. Money can be made even in a bear market. Make the most of it.
Feed him to the wolves in the general prison population. There are rules and he will certainly have a hard time in prison.
His reaction was the parents reaction, he was soaking it all in, he didn't need to do anything other than to remove his mask to egg them on like " see he obeys us " when in fact they are obeying him. He made the Juniors suffer he made the Parents suffer, and until he dies they will continue to suffer, a master plan. The Parents should never have showed up giving or taking away the final moment of Nicholas to see and hear the suffering, imagine the Court Room near empty, his ego shattered. The Parents knew the sentence 20 life no parole etc…. Well, now its game on in the big house, the Parents will no doubt assemble outside whichever prison he dies in to nail the coffin shut, then move forward….
This case will change the death penalty laws in Florida to ensure people like Nikolas will be sentenced appropriately if they go on a shooting spree.
This looks good on paper. The real justice happens behinds bars. The judge is hot—
Stfu. Have a nice day.
At least Cruz is still alive, god bless his heart, he did nothing wrong
