'It's time for you to be afraid of me:' Manuel Oliver addresses Parkland school shooter
Вставка

- His son Joaquin Oliver, died in the school shooting. He was an immigration advocate.
Judge Elizabeth Scherer handed down the sentencing for Nikolas Cruz on Nov. 2, 2022: www.firstcoast...
“You needed an AR-15 to do that, because my son would have beaten the shit out of you.” This man is a true king, right along with his son. This entire family did absolutely amazing. Such a strong and magnificent group of humans. Much love to the Oliver family !
This monster looks like a pathetic little deformed breadstick. What an absolute coward he is. If only the parents were able to take him in a room for 10 mins so they could torture him and kill him themselves.
Losing your son is not easy.

@@PatricioTheGreat you need help.
@@PatricioTheGreat sounds like you always playing victim
"Part of me thinks you did this to be famous. Whoever takes care of you, will own that fame" jesus christ that line was cold
Because that's the true reality of it all. You think you're hard and not afraid of death? You're afraid of losing your fame and attention.
Dude earned immense amounts of respect
May I ask what that means? I’m just a little confused with what it meant
Justice is best served COLD.
@@cassiesayshi8174 It means whoever kills the Parkland shooter will steal whatever fame he got for the mass murders. That person will be the one with the fame. Basically saying he’s a nobody. And also scaring the crap out of him in the process I hope.
And I totally love it ! Bless this man this Father. You spoke the truth and held yourself in a very mature way. I am sure I could not have done so well. I applaud you Sir. Be blessed
This man was total BEAST MODE with his speech. I felt the power of each word. There was such strength in what he said, even thru the pain he feels. I am glad the murderer had his mask off. We needed to see his face and Mr. Oliver deserved to see his face. Blown away by this impact statement. Blown away!
He looked a bit shook with that gulp at 8:02
This man was the essence of how being calm and collected is so much scarier and imposing than any kind of anger or rage could ever be. His clear enunciation. His calm cadence. And while you could obviously tell it wasn't easy for him and that emotions were strong, the controlled release of pent-up feelings that never escaped his control is exactly why that monster needs to be glad he's got bars to hide behind.
@@JonathanAmar79 I saw that too!!!!!
He actually looked scared of him. 😂😂
yes. he was so impactful.. if my baby had been shot, they'd have to tie me down .. I respect and am in awe of his self restraint..but. the shooter, the coward, should be very afraid.. of parents in search of justice.. the ultimate punishment..death.
This was delivered so perfectly it almost seems like it’s a script out of a movie and not real life. I salute you, sir, and I am truly sorry for your loss.
yea, ALMOST. lol
Powerful

He makes me want to cry. You can feel his pain, his anger, his frustration, and his disgust with that piece of shit who murdered his son for no reason.

How all of the families laughed together was quite beautiful, they share the same pain and heartache and have formed a bonded community.
it is very beautiful. something i pray i will never ever be a part of.
It was nice to see them smiling. I imagine they don't really do it that much anymore.
I noticed that too, they are all stronger than I could ever be. I wish the end of the trial meant they all got their kids back at home.
What a Wonderful Father his words are perfect from his son who this monster took! God Bless this Family 🙏
My heart broke as they saw that THING..get life I stead of the death penalty as he did to all their kin. I was shocked, appalled heartbroken. .as I am sure they all were....:_(
This grieving father was more composed than I could ever be. He said what needed to be said and I support him whole heartedly as father. My heart goes out to all the families.
You disgust me!
#IStandWithNikolas
Agreed, but there's no point in losing control of yourself and screaming at a sociopathic, mass murderer like that will only think inside that such outrage he caused will be secret a joke to himself.
This grieving father spoke to the nation, to the sociopath and most importantly to all the current & future dept of corrections inmates...
@@MrBigShotFancyPants lol no he didn’t
@@snooziblu lol, yes he did
“…you blew his head..his marvelous brain, dreams and ideas..you destroyed them.”

"You will die before me. And I will celebrate when you die."
Spoken like a boss. The toughest line you can ever deliver to a convicted murderer who you know will get the death sentence. And he said it calmly with a cool tone and showing absolutely no anger or other emotional outburts. For a father who is speaking face to face to the guy who killed his son this was absolutely incredible!

Joaquins mom wrote a book called “joaquins first school shooting”, it is a powerful, powerful, book. The parents of joaquins have done a lot of great charity work in honor of their son.

Or a bully, u don’t know
I'm absolutely speechless hearing this absolute badass of a human, a man, and a father. I don't want to just shake this man's hand. I want to give him the biggest hug. What restraint he had in this speech, but his remarks are no less impactful and jaw-dropping. I hope he finds peace with his family and can eventually heal.
This is a Legend.
Agreed! This man is s superlative, courageous, and great human being. He spoke the truth...God bless and protect him, his remaining family, and the families of all the victims of this revolting little maggot. This gentleman had the families actually smiling. That was beautiful to see. He is a warrior and a true and wonderful man.
I feel the same way. . .he handled himself with such dignity . . .amidst his heartbreaking pain. It was his restraint that really moved me.
This is a MAN
In a world that is tamping down masculine men, this man is what we need!
Ya I want to hug him as well
Don't know if anyone caught this or not, but when the father said that nobody loves the shooter, he broke that blank stare off of the shooter's face. The shooter's eyes widened when the father said all the love goes to the father's son (and all the other victims), and not the shooter.
The father is very smart, his words slashed the shooter's ego in two.
correct his adams apple moved
@@timothywait9457I noticed that as well. “Now it’s time for you to be afraid of me.”
I think you're seeing what you want to see, EInstein. It's called projection. Nothing like what you described actually happened.
He should’ve dug deeper into that. Shooters don’t care when they’re being called monsters or evil…in fact they like it. Go at his lack of friends, lack of love, the fact he’s a loser and a loner. Go at the fact weakness caused him to mess up, not strength. The fact that they’d all kill him if he didn’t have a weapon. Go at what causes him to commit the crimes in the first place. He wants to feel like the boss, so make him feel like the dork that he is.
I don't think the shooter's has an ego. Unfortunately there's no ego to slash.
“you will die before me and i will celebrate” what a powerful line. props to this father for his strength.
Doubt it
He is amazing and he is very big guy with those broad shoulders,he look very intimidating with that huge beard,he is very good looking guy:-)imagine that he get 10 min alone with nikolas cruz in some empty room,i bet he would tear nikolas apart
the killer will outlive him and the killer will have control over him till he gets over the hatred.
@@oeheaven The killer has no control because he allowed his hatred to lead him to cool. The definition of self control is not doing something when you know it could be detrimental to you.
@BST Specialist no he gets off on it there is a difference. Killers love that aspect of control.
I am humbled by this man’s ability to express himself so eloquently while feeling so much pain and grief. ❤

Amen my friend
just want to say that your comment is beautiful & that the wholesomeness & the support that you are providing to this man - a stranger to you - is something the world needs more of…. there is a whole lot of hate & negativity both in the world & especially on the internet - but even so, your words had the biggest effect on me & stood out above the rest.
@jobathan easy to be tough in a courtroom with the guy restrained and the cops protecting you
Pride assumes you had something to do with it. You did not
Most superficial speech ever.The problem is much deeper.
A nation that grants the freedom to shoot by selling weapons is a nation unable to educate or avoid such things which will continue to happen in the absence of reform
What an absolute stud this father is. Oozes masculinity, but a total gentleman. A man's man. A protective father and husband, a great friend and cares about others. Couldn't ask for better! My condolences to all the families.
@GrandZeno It's his deceased son's t-shirt.
@GrandZenothis is the perfect name for you. At least you’re aware that you’re a zero. I definitely agree
@GrandZenodid you take a break from masturbating to hentai to post that? That guy shit turds more masculine than you could ever dream to be. Your response demonstrates weakness of spine.
that opinion of yours must be why you're lacking parental love@GrandZeno
@GrandZenoI know that you don’t have any actual friends and that your parents don’t like you around, but that’s no excuse to act like even more of a loser.
This King was even able to make the other parents smile for a moment. He spoke 100% facts about what's going to happen to this POS once he gets sentenced.
I also noticed them smile. They really needed this day. I wish I had the words to give each of them some comfort.
This guy knows something we don’t.
@@Yyyyyy5 It's not subtle. Between his speech and the speech from the new york guy, they pretty much said "someone in prison should end this guy's life, and they will be famous for it".

What an eloquent man. How he kept composure when talking about his child being murdered is beyond me. My love to him and the rest of the families and children suffering from this tragedy.
This man and his queen of a wife had the most profound words, it was his wife's speech about karma that had the defense team shaking with fear. They both spoke the truth and it will all surely come to pass. God bless that Honorable Judge for having the integrity to refuse to silence the survivors.
they were both very moving. i think they knew exactly what to say to take pride away from his crimes and instead open his eyes to his new reality. ahhh, karma. a bitch to some, but beauty to others
You forgot his Goddess daughter 😍😍😍
Exactly!
It is WRONG to hate a defense team for defending someone you despise. For every criminal like him there are many who are innocent and need a decent defense. Attitudes like yours and his may jeopardize that. Want to talk about karma? What if Karma decides YOU should be falsely accused and YOU need a decent defense? What if the crime isso heinous and public that no defense attorney will give YOU an adequate defense for fear of being threatened
People like you and this man do nit understand at all why our judicial system is the best in the world
@A 177 Wow.. U R America true value 👏
I had chills when he called the families his friends and they all smiled. It’s beautiful how connections can be made even through tragedy. I’m glad these families have each other and I hope they find peace no matter how impossible it seems.
There's no peace forthcoming. Your sweet nothings are hollow.
@@prometheusrex1 there is a way to peace. A guy showed me. It's to tread so lightly and so tracelessly that you're basically invisible. The problem is you become antisocial. No matter what you do, though, you become a tool to be manipulated by others. Gaining agency requires many dangerous steps... The final step is gaining full control of your life. The cost is enormous and you certainly will have your own box of tools upon graduation.

@@micheleh5269 Jesus Christ. Why is it with some women and Beta males, as soon as someone makes you a little wet, all of a sudden he/she has the capability of running a public office?

Idk. He seems cocky and arrogant. If his son was anything like him, not surprising some kid having a bad day would want to blow his face off. Don’t get why the parents want to hate on the public defenders so much. The judge was completely out of line this whole trial. She was way too emotional and self conceded for this high profile case. U can tell she’s a narcissist how she’s always fixing hair.
The previous comment makes me so very sad. If someone does not understand the pain of losing a child, and justifies killing a person because they see them as cocky, seriously has a black hole in their heart. This father has endured a pain no parents wants to ever experience.
@@vgarcia9724 I reported his comment as promoting terrorism. No one should ever say "I understand why you'd want to blow his head off". That was absolutely terrible. This guy has been through the wringer, and i have nothing but respect for his behavior, and grief for his loss.
"You know who they love? Joaquin." A M E N......i am so proud of this man and for a lot of others for making their children proud.
It took all but a couple minutes to realize this is a man of character, integrity and courage. What a speech.

He is one cool dad!! Beast! 👏🏼 well said! Proud of all these parents speaking nothing but TRUTH.
This man has to be some sort of professional speaker/writer. If he’s not, he should be. Not one mistake. Not one wasted word. He never lost his composure. This was like a speech from a movie except it’s reality. Like others have said. This is how a real man looks and speaks.
He had tour all over country telling his son story in the news, in theater, in conferences, so he has had some practice. He is currently advocating for gun control laws. He had met with both presidents and everything. He is very inspiring. He and his wife are very good friends of my family.

This speech was one that could never be replicated. This was spoken eloquently whilst delivering a cold statement which was right at the shooters face. What a Boss!
What an honorable man. It is through him, Victoria, his wife, and his daughter that we all see the incredible human Joaquin Oliver was. Rest In Peace, Joaquin, and my deepest sympathy stays with this family and all other families of the victims of such a horrible event.
Well said
Joaquin must have been an incredible human being. From listening to Victoria, seeing the light and love in his mother and sister’s eyes, and listening to his powerhouse of a father. He lives on through each and every one of them, it’s because of Joaquin, who he was, and his love, that they are who they are today. As Victoria said “Joaquin is love.”
Joaquin was the soccer player who used his body to shield the bullets yes?
@@masterodisguise2983 No, that was Anthony Borges who survived
all the victims' loved ones share an awful bond. Joaquin's father could have said the worst things possible to the shooter, and nobody would judge him.
Was thinking the same
This dad summed everything up with his powerful words. I honestly don't know how he got through his feelings. He held it together. Respect. He is a giant of a man.
Even though he isn't showing it I don't think he never got through his feelings. Its been more than 4 years since his son's death. Manuel kept protesting so hard for change that he'd climbed on a crane. ua-cam.com/video/fIbBWIqdEb0/v-deo.html
Those nine words...."It's Time for you to be afraid of me." EPIC
This man is one of the best speakers i've ever heard, and one of the realist. I'm beyond moved.
His wife and daughters pride for him was evident on their faces
I heard pettiness, veiled anger, revenge. Yes understandable he's hurt but entire speech is ego and vengeance to me. STRONGER reaction is to forgive is he's such a religious man.
I just loved how his wife looked at her husband with such pride and love. You can tell she had his back with whatever he chose to say but he said everything perfectly. That is a truly a wife supporting her husband. So sorry for there lost.

When you look into the abyss the abyss also looks into you…
And you would hence become the same murderous monster.

Mad respect for this guy not only going after the shooter but also to the whole court.

What an extraordinary man! To be so expressive in your second language quite apart from the power of his words and presence. What an awesome representative of those parents and their children. Well done Papa Manuel.
This is what a real man looks like. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know your son watches over you and your family everyday.
I can't imagine the sheer pain of losing your child in this way. And to then have to confront the killer like this. Strong words from a strong man.

Safe to say they truly don't care
Confronting the killer is more satisfying than you can imagine.
@@charlibaltimore7641 Have you had the opportunity (edit: misfortune) to confront an assassin in this way?
The man is doing right cuz Jesus Christ said a vengeance is mine thus saith the Lord he told us to bless those of curses and pray for those who despite the use of yeah it's not easy when someone kills someone it's like Abel and Cain Cain killed Abel and Abel's blood was screaming out from the ground to Jesus to God the Father and look what happened to Kane he was to be destitute all the rest of his life and even those from his seed but thank God for Jesus who knows the heart of man who would truly repent and be born again and that can happen to anyone who comes with a broken and contrite heart so don't be deceived you will be an eternity somewhere and I'd rather be an eternity with Christ my Creator amen,
Actually seeing the parents smile was something I thought I wouldn’t see these parents became friends from tragedy and loss at least they have each other to hold together
I noticed that too. They are now a family. A family of grief but still a family. He is the epitome of a father. He is a man, a father that at last had the chance to talk directly to the monster that took his son. God bless all the families of this tragedy. I pray to God this gave all of them a little peace in their broken hearts.

@ Brain-rape ice cream cones What is funny? Tell us so we can be amused too.
This father right here is a legend. People may not remember the name of the killer in a week, but by God they will remember his sons name. He is the kind of dad I wish I was. And the last statement he made, "now it's time for you to be afraid of me". Epic. The families and attorneys chose right by letting him finish off the speaking portion for the families. And I agree, him and his wife are amazing. She spoke and instilled the fear in the defense and he came in at the end and dropped the hammer.
Better than Javier Bardem in the room! This Dad is amazing! Perfection.
I could’ve listened to him speak for hours 👏. Epic! Just Epic!
This is what needed to be said....I cry for those families...Yes he said we didnt show what true punishment is by the Death Penaltiy..God bless all the familes and live on knowing they are ALWAYS with you ♥
Oh yes that was the perfect choice for this Dad to speak last.
I felt the opposite. From my perspective he used this time to grieve and mostly made it about himself to cope. I pray for him and his family.

It's cut off from the start of this video, but when Joaquin's father first walked into the room, most of the other parents lit up like a Christmas tree. As though his presence alone made them feel stronger and more secure. From what Joaquin's girlfriend said about him, he was like his father in that way. The positive effect he had on other people.
This man is a legend. He told this piece of shit to count his days!
Sounds like a threat

Sir, I don’t know if you will ever read this message, but I have to say it… Damn well said, sir. DAMN. WELL. SAID. I cried half in sorrow, and half in love and pride for your son. What an incredible father Joaquin has.
When he made the statement that someone would steal his fame, I LIE NOT, my phone sang HALLELUJAH!!! I got CHILLS!!
Agreed
I promise you in due time he will read it and respect you for your special words. Thank you!
AMEN. Manuel Oliver made me cry. I could barely listen to his pain and my tears blurred the transcript of what he said. He has been arrested, he has fought hard and deserved this moment. God bless you, sir. You remind me of my husband and our sons father. He would have been just as angry and done what had to be done. Just wow.
He’s a bully, probably like his son was. What kind of message does this send, Keep bullying people? wtf is wrong with u people.
Very powerful.
You are speaking to a nation....and WE HEAR YOU!!! So sorry for your loss and the pain that you and your family have endured and will continue to endure. Bless you, your family, and all of the families affected by this monster.
Agreed! This is the other part they didn’t show: ua-cam.com/users/shortsqVxa46_AnO8?feature=share
Manuel Oliver handled himself with class and he was awesome and his son Joaquin would have so proud of his mom and sister.... GOD BLESS THIS MAN***
Profound. Spoke from his heart, no notes. Just wow.
The victim's father spoke with strength and courage ... well spoken trooper .
He spoke up for his son and the others that have been affected. Props to this dad for standing up and saying what everyone is thinking.

Your son is smiling down on you ❤ well done sir
That is a man! A real man! A father who spoke so perfectly and spoke to us all! Heroic stuff
You're one twisted and corrupt piece of work by design and consequence of corruption and neglect. smh You're just the majority who creates monsters in the first place. smh wake up, if that's even possible.
What a powerful speech. Left such an impression on me and hopefully millions more around the world. Rest in peace Joaquin, your Pops is keeping your memory alive.
This speech will make people speechless with awe all around the world from a Kiwi living in Oz.
@@janececelia7448 lol. Would make all bullies out there proud.
Wow. That is powerful. That is a DAD!!!!! Good man! Sorry for your loss!
My heart truly goes out to this man and his family. Losing the most precious thing in his life to such a poor excuse, a zealot...meaningless actions. I'm so glad that he took the opportunity to speak and get his heartfelt emotions out in the open for everyone to hear.
This guy is a good Man
Great man my heart really does break for him and all the families. For a team of politicians to tell the victim your the problem etc while a piece of shit that took lives is eating on the families dollars. And not being ate away from the worms just mind boggles me
What do you mean by a zealot? Is the dude claiming to be religious or something?
I completely agree. And I can only imagine the anger him and every single other parent that lost their child that day feel when his name is plastered all over the news, instead of their children’s name. Those are the names we should remember. The poor innocent lives that were just trying to get an education. We need to change how the news covers these tragedies. Instead of letting the shooter get the fame they want, instead we should list the names of those taken by such a gruesome, horrible act. I will never say the shooters name ever, nor sandy hook, nor columbine, nor any other mass shooters name. They don’t deserve it.
This moved me to tears.....rest in peace to Joaquin and all the victims
@Jason Voorhees tough guy here
@Jason Voorhees you sound like a coward. This man has more strength in this little finger than you have ever even witnessed.
Thank you Mr Oliver. Joaquin will be forever remembered and celebrated and because of this final message YOU HAVE MADE JOAQUIN A LEGEND
What a class act this father is! Talking about your beautiful son, Joaquin keeps him alive! ❤
He addressed his son's killer without shedding one single tear. This father is straight up ANGRY, and rightfully so. 😔
He went in there just as cold as that pos was when he killed his boy.
Not just the killer but his defenders and the jury!!!!! He truly is badass.
@Pay Way Truly..... I'll do the same for my baby boy
I’m at a loss for words. This father’s testimony should be played in every school. May your heart find a way to smile again dear man.
Amen.
He will ,once he gets his hands around the shooters neck. I guarantee you,this dad figures out a way to get into that prison!! Mark my words
Agree this is one of the best speeches ive hear in a court
There should be metal detection and armed guards in every school.
@@FosterFamilyFar-outFun what good did that do in this situation? The guard was a coward.
I have never heard facts spoken more loudly in such calm voice. Applause
They tend to be more impactful that way!
A class act my friend. You pain must be enormous. I wish you and your family well.
This is a FATHER. ♡ this is an example of FATHERHOOD. Bless you, kind sir. Thank you so much for addressing all that you did. My heart goes out to you and your family. Your sons legacy LIVES ON. ♡ I am so terribly sorry for your loss. May God comfort and console you and your family. I know you are hurting. 😔
🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜🦋
God was so nasty to let it happen
“Whoever takes care of you will take your fame.” Very true words. Perhaps this man is well connected. Imagine living with convicted killers with life sentences who have NOTHING to lose.
And they're WAY tougher and WAY scarier than he thinks he is...
@@jejteach1 Well I know someone who knows someone else who knows that family and they said he's a puss. 🤷♂
@@jejteach1 wtf sound dumb
@@MarkSmithhhh he’s dead within a year if the guards let it happen mark my words! Cruz family gonna want a settlement but nope. Same as uvalde but not quite that dude shoot it out with cops and died this dude will get messed up if guards let it
Nicolas Cruz was a product of our broken system...he is to blame but our system is also to blame bc Nicolas Cruz deserved to be protected while still an innocent child who had no control over the neglect he suffered...which in turn resulted in this horrific act with loss of so many innocent life's that will effect families for generations ahead...
Nicolas Cruz will undoubtedly meet his demise within the prison system.
Few will agree, but the fact is all these children could have been saved...if the system had stepped into Nicolas's misery from the time of his birth...even b4 while his incapable parents set the course of his existance.....it's said, "if you see something say something"...too many ppl ignore the red flags of warning! Again, this could have been avoided...now these parents are left to suffer their loss & guilt the remainder of their days!!
It's now a dangerously sad world we presently live...
BTW...yes, I do understand the impact of senseless murder and know 1st hand the life long trauma for every person involved. The pain never leaves, it only changes...
God will bless the parents who must struggle each day in finding their way to continue on without the love of these innocent lives taken.
This is a man, a father, spoken like a true legend.
My condolences to the families and victims.

This is what true manliness looks like. I'm not old fashioned but that man delivered the speech any mother would need to hear spoken for a lost child.
What a father. What a son he must have had. Love and some kind of peace to all affected.
Exactly!
I could watch this over and over again, the way this father, beautifully extended his heart into his sleeve, so eloquently, calling out the coward who murdered his son, with such dignified grace , and so impactful. God bless him and the rest of the families. This is an absolute epic moment in time. I applaud you, sir.
This is common. Eye for an eye stuff. Hate for hate. Nothing magnificent Anger is easy.
@@kimberlysmith7311 I cannot disagree with you. I started this comment before the end. It was a bit disappointing to see him “go there”. Joaquin’s GF’s testimony WAS 🔥🔥❤️❤️🙏🙏. Although, imho, I’d bet once the father processes his feelings in full, he may see the POV you have as well. Idk if I’m making sense. But- I still think the WAY he delivered this, was beautifully done, very vulnerable, and he did the best he could for what he’s been through.
@@kimberlysmith7311 The only true release come from forgiveness, until then, the killer and his actions have a home in you.
Hate to say it but he does have some good sense of humor to the defense council
I agree totally the Shirt, the Message, this was some Stuff from hes Bear Chest. And i learned how to do a Middlefinger.
I watched Manuel Oliver 3 times today. I wish everyone had a Dad who is not afraid to show their grief, love and truth. The person who killed his beloved son deserved his words, his depth and his rage at a system who failed them all. But he also broke my heart with his pain. Beautiful man.
That speech was nothing short of magnificent, moving, riveting, and fierce. He meant those words with total conviction. I applaud each and every one of them. May his son and the other children rest in heavenly peace.
Amen in JESUS MIGHTY Name GOD bless him and all of them in JESUS Name Amen. ✝️👑🦁🕍💒🙌🏻💞💯💖🙏🏻❤️🔥 This is the Gospel; The LORD KING JESUS CHRIST loves you so so much that He came down from Heaven, lived the perfect life that we cannot live by ourselves, He died on a cross at Calvary for you, me, and ALL of ours and ALL of our sins, and He rose again from the grave 3 days afterwards, conquering death, hell, sin, the devil, all evil, and condemnation. He's waiting for you to accept Him and come to Him with open arms in a genuine personal relationship and there's no other love ever like His since He loves you eternally and infinitely so believe in the LORD GOD KING JESUS CHRIST YESHUA HAMASHIACH, receive His HOLY SPIRIT that will dwell in you, change you, lead you, guide you, and be your absolute best friend as GOD the HOLY SPIRIT just alongside CHRIST JESUS the Son Of GOD, GOD incarnate, also finally GOD the FATHER, which those 3 together make the HOLY TRINITY the one and only true GOD. I love you but nowhere near as much as GOD. Repent by believing in the LORD GOD KING JESUS CHRIST and thou shalt be saved, and once you tell JESUS that you believe in Him and genuinely trust in Him by inviting Him into your heart, you are sealed unto the Day of Redemption and you cannot lose your salvation in CHRIST JESUS and He will help you live for Him with His HOLY SPIRIT Amen, the Rapture is the Day of Redemption also which is so extremely very soon and He does not want you or anybody to be left behind nor me nor you do. GOD bless you and KING JESUS CHRIST IS LORD GOD. ✝️👑🦁🕍💒🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🔥💞💯💖

I can’t understand him.
Wow! I was absolutely spell bound! I didn't move while he was speaking and I didn't want to miss a word! That's one passionate father! He's had a long time to choose his every word and he chose them well! How profound and beautiful his last words in the courtroom speaking about his precious son and how his loss has impacted him. His words were so very heartfelt that I literally didn't want to move a muscle 😢
What a great example of a fearless leader! He was composed and kept all his people calm, His kids look so proud sitting over there watching him speak to a whole nation! God bless this man and his family❤

This was LEGENDARY. Absolute perfection.

That “it’s time for you to be afraid of me” was CHILLING!!!!! Reminds me of my pop! Can’t tell me that man has some connections! Super Dad over here!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What an incredible human!! The best speech, composure, patience and honesty I have ever heard from a grieving father. Prayers for the Oliver family!
If you listen to the language that Cruz uses in the videos leading up to the shooting, it demonstrates an individual who has been rejected by society. His language is victim mentality, but so is the language used by the father. He was taunting Cruz, not attempting to celebrate his son. He spoke like a bully with victim mentality.
I'm sure he would love to be in a room alone with Cruz but he addressed the situation like a legit gentleman.
This man's speech was truly epic! Full of eloquence and self control. Conveying both power and personal integrity- he spoke with a capable voice.
And without hesitation he looked his son's murderer deep into his eyes when he spoke to him, commanding undivided attention and respect from his adversary.
He took his time to speak and every word he uttered carried a decisive significance. Mr. Oliver's speech was a masterclass in the art of oration, with each phrase carefully crafted to inspire fear- striking a deep sense of foreboding trepidation in the heart of this sociopath. It was a moment that he will not soon forget. Especially that closing line when he said "It's time for you to be afraid of me." {shivers}
He reminded me of a great King! I was honestly waiting for the dramatic and emotional melodies to start playing in the background, seriously!
Before he even starts his speech, I love how he makes the families giggle a little. Just a little spark of light in this dark, depressing trial. It really goes to show how connected these families now are, and shows the charisma of this father. My heart goes out to him
They know he's right: karma will get all of them.
