@@andrimarbi I think most of his legal team is comprised of public defenders, so they don't exactly have a choice who to defend. Public defenders are very much humans who feel very human emotions, its not unprofessional to have empathy.

@@GirlofGlamour89 I think so, but even if they weren't, their job is to make sure he gets a fair trial. Doesn't mean they condone his actions and wants him released. It's also possible they are against the death penalty for moral reasons, and therefore wants to ensure he doesn't get the death sentence. People sometimes seem to go after lawyers as if they are heartless. It's important we have people that do what they do. Can't have fair trials if we don't have lawyers.

@@ifeelbetterabouthis.louis3 some times the state or the court automatically assigns these cases to lawyers, regardless of their own opinions on the subject.

God damn they must be a cold human being.
4:21 “On the days I don’t think about my brother, I feel guilty. On the days I do think about him, I feel broken. There is no peace.” Wow. Incredibly poignant and sharp words from this brilliant young woman.
“There is no peace”. Many of us know that feeling when we wrestle with losing someone in our lives without any kind of closure. It is a horrible feeling.
No peace what so ever. Even if your brain tries to take a short break the heart will not allow it. It’s a debilitating pain that only those who have been affected, can ever feel.
I lost my 11 year old daughter a few years ago. There is no peace, no normal. Life is lived with the acute awareness that your child is missing from every aspect of your continued existence. These parents heartache is something no one can imagine. The war they wage behind their eyes will go unnoticed. And they will suffer in silence, and alone. Oh what a terrible fate life has dealt these poor parents. How I wish I could wipe away their pain.
Same here. I lost my 2 year old son in a horrible accident. You don’t heal. You change and deal with it. I’m so sorry for you loss. The pain is unexplainable. Make sure you always are honest with your feelings. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My sister was murdered by a man with a gun. Her words made me cry and think about my dead sister. Rest in peace to all the victims of this very sad tragedy.
My heart is with you. My baby brother was murdered by a gunman 17 years ago. He was released on a technicality. We had no justice. My heart has cried for every one of you.
I lost my sister in 2014. I went to therapy because I was having trouble coping with my best friend being gone & multiple therapists told me that death is something we can't cope with & don't have to. The pain stays the same. Worse when they aren't there for a milestone...
This is so painfully true. My mom died of cancer when I was in my early 20s. Now that my friends and I are getting older, they're starting to lose their parents and always ask me if it will get easier, hoping for an answer to make them feel better. It breaks my heart each time I have to tell them it never does - you may think about them less but the pain is always the same. I'm sorry for your loss.
If an explanation of how one feels after losing a loved one, Abby, you have put feelings into words perfectly. My heart breaks for you, your family and all the families hurting from this tragedy. May the injected poison or electrical shower that Cruz will endure bring you some comfort as you heal.
Is so hard to witness these families traumatized for years because of a mass shooting at a school. Nobody know only except them how it feels; hope and pray that she finds peace.
I lost my 18 year old son in 2015 to murder. So much of what she says hits me because I feel the same. I refer to my son as being present but deceased. Nothing about my life today is normal and never will be.
I’m so sorry for your loss I can’t even imagine the pain you’ve been through, but you’re very strong and it’s hard to continue after you lose someone you love.
The purest words I ever spoke were as a 6 year old trying to deal with the loss of a friend. I had written in a class that "I wanted to forget him" and when my teacher asked "don't you mean remember?", I responded with "no, it's too painful to remember", and my teacher broke down in tears.
I lost my little brother to brain cancer and she hit every nail on the head . It's been 3 years for me and that trauma never goes away. I pray for all these families , especially the siblings . We highlight the parents which is expected but losing a younger sibling is so unnatural as well.
The way I get through the loss of my loved one is to constantly remind myself that they would want me to keep going, thrive, be happy and be successful and live for both of us. I am not saying it's easy but I feel like it is the truth and what they would really want for me. It's the only way to honor someone we lose. We have to go on living and cannot die with them. Honor your brother by thriving and carrying on. I am pretty sure that is what he would want for you. Best wishes to you.
@@badlander6369 this was so well said and you’re right. That is what I’m sure our loved ones want but it’s so hard. I was so struck with grief when my Dad died. I shouldn’t be here but I am. Your words hit me exactly when I needed it because I’m struggling. Thank you 🙏🏻
@@NennieC123 Thank you. I believe that any negative behavior we engage in as a result of our loved one's death is dishonoring them instead of honoring them. I am sure they would not want their passing to be the catalyst for us doing anything bad or harmful to ourselves. Would we want any of our loved one's to fall apart if something were to happen to you ? There is a time for grief but there is not a time for guilt. Honor them by thriving.
Brianna Brown i recemend a book to you Cold Read sky in the morning by Elizabeth lead you may not under stand some of the words as its British i prusume your American but it a good book for a teenage girl
Abby, I am so touched by your victim impact statement. You are able to articulate in a way that many of us can relate to. This is evidenced by the lead Defense Attorney for NC being brought to uncontrollable tears as you spoke. Abbey, you honor Luke in an amazing & touching way. Thank you for sharing a bit of him with us. I pray that you know God's loving arms as Luke does. 🙏
As someone who tragically lost someone it is a wound that does not close and sometimes I don't understand why life is so unfair with good people 💔 I'm so sorry and karma exists for this monster.
I believed we are like actors in this temporary world, we have our own roles to portray, and we have our Director somewhere whom I also believed is behind all of these. I call him our creator, our supreme being. Everything here is already scripted, we have no absolute choice, but we can do simple adlibs. It is what it is, let’s just enjoy whatever role is tasked to us, at the end of the day I believed we all go back together in one paradise when our partial role is over here
Cruz took so many good people to gain self attention. I pray he is finally where he should be. Guns aren't the problem. He should never have been allowed access at any age.Many government agencies notified with no response. He should not have been allowed to attend Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS. Clearly he did not like the challenge. Should have been put at Cross Creek forever, no challenge. Many people are responsible, only one, Nicholas Jacob Cruz pulled the trigger, cold and calculating past what most people see in a lifetime.
@Jo There's a world of difference between the "sins" of occasional blasphemy or petty theft and the premeditated willful and wanton destruction of your classmates and teachers and the never-ending heartbreak dealt to their families and friends.
By the looks of her, she looks so successful, strong, pretty and doesn't have a single problem in the world. Crazy what we humans can have going on in our minds and bodies while looking perfectly okay. What a tough human.
So true. You will never know by just looking at someone. It’s so important to be kind to those you encounter. You don’t know what burdens they’re carrying.
I'm so sorry!! That's awful!! I think we underestimate the pain of losing a sibling. It's easier to see how losing a child is heart-shattering, but a sibling is also shattering.
I'm so sorry you've gone through that, I too lost my brother Justin in May 2020. I lost him to cancer, I couldn't imagine losing him to violence before he reached adulthood. The pain of being a sibling to a murdered child is more than anyone that hasn't been through that is more than anyone can imagine 💔
Reading all these comments is hard. My brother has overdosed 6 times in my life. I’m so glad he’s here and doing better. For all you who have lost someone to early I wish I could do something for but I can’t. I am so sorry for your losses and I hope that maybe one day things will get better. Much love from New Hampshire❤️
I’m sorry for what you’re going through with your brother. Never apologize for not being able to help others when you’re trying to help those close to you. You’re a good person for staying by his side. 🙏🙏🙏. Remember that staying strong doesn’t mean being hard or cold. Always let your emotions run freely so you don’t lie to yourself about how you feel. You’re doing great by talking about it on here. 🙏
I have ADHD, OCD, and PTSD and felt like I was nothing but a burden so I overdosed at my school during my freshman year of high school because I had no friends and was a complete introvert. I remember waking up in the hospital and seeing how badly it affected my family. I'm almost 21 now, and I'm doing a lot better. My half-brother hung himself last year, and I nearly lost my big brother, but luckily he didn't go through with it as I did. So you are not alone in this.
I am so heartbroken. I just can’t imagine losing my brothers to this horrible and cruel situation. I pray for my brothers now when they go off to school, hoping they still come back home all the time. I always tell them to always be careful, and I cannot imagine the pain this young lady is going through. My thoughts are with you and your family!! It is so hard to lose a sibling and as an older sister I can relate. They’re not just our siblings but our best friends who have watched us grow up and for them to see how far we have come in our lives, in hopes of paving the way and guiding them to be the best adults they can be. A sister’s love will always be the most gentle, kind, sweet and nurturing, next to the mother’s of course. Luke was so blessed to have you in his life. Stay strong. Love and blessings to you ❤️
This has destroyed these families. When my cousin was stabbed to death 32 times my mothers sister never got over it. She was put in a psych ward and died 2 yrs later from a broken heart. I dont think anyone can ever get over burrying a child. What a piece of $hit this cruz kid is for this . 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏
This one hits me hard, I as well have two brothers and I couldn’t imagine not having my younger brother in our own trio. Sending all of my love and condolences to her and her family.
Think about how many lives that parkland shooting affected from then until now and beyond! There's going to be no mercy for this guy whatsoever he didn't show Mercy he won't receive any and that's because of his own doing!
Oh Melissa, treasure the memories, life is short and when it's gone love goes on and on xxxxxx x xxxxxxxxxxX xxxxxx a hug a squeeze of your hand and strength in your heart from me to you - wherever you are xxxxxxx
It’s good to see that the legal team cries when family and friends share statements. The lady sitting directly next to him has cried several times and I can’t help but find that beautiful to see. The pain and humanity ❤️ I hope that Cruz feels uncomfortable with his legal team crying.
@@m3staken983 yep you’re right & he said it himself that he wants to see the families suffer and cry in court…. With his little Creepy ass foreshadowing - I just know he’s suffering somewhere in his heart and that helps me sleep at night. A Subhuman at best
I lost my younger brother the same way about 10 months ago. He died 1 week after his 18th birthday on his way home from picking up his bike. My parents bought him new tires for his birthday. I hope you can eventually find some happiness in life, love from oregon
This young lady is well spoken and versed. She couldn’t have describe her family’s lost any better. May she, her family and the rest of these family’s who have lost their child have peace after this. 😢❤
Bless your heart, young lady. I'm so sorry your brother was taken from you and your family. It was heartbreaking when she said that now she only has one brother, and that her brother no longer has a brother. How tragic life is. How sad and tragic it is all by itself. Then man chooses to make it devastating and tragic by his actions against his very own brother.
Their 'little trio'. That made me, a, 57 year old guy break down. This poor girl and her brother and Luke obviously thrived and loved life because they were going through life together, sharing experiences and guiding each other. That 3 has become 2 and their World has collapsed. I am certain they will pick up the pieces, carry on and make a success of their lives for the memory of Luke.
@@lynncantrell2782 with all due respect you have 0 elbow room to suggest a family member of the victims or anyone else shouldn't want to put this vermin to death. If you want attention go stand in the middle of a highway
Heart wrenching. This makes me cry for my little brother. I would lose it if anything ever happened to him. I usually am not one to like the death penalty just because there could be a chance of innocence, but for crimes like this. There is no innocence. No humanity. People like that don't deserve life.
I was saying to myself when I saw the defense attorney break down "How do you defend him?" He already admitted guilt. You know he's guilty. The defense attorney might have children/kids....to think someone like him, the guilty man you are defending, could enter her own kids classroom and do the same thing? He deserves what he gave the 17 he murdered for the countless number of lives he has changed forever
@@lillyrose9785 sorry. are you an attorney? if you are, have you ever or could you imagine working such an emotionally heavy case? i don’t think any of us can understand what months and years of prepping for a case like this can do to a person. so respectfully, stop
The lawyers get to see ALL of the evidence and hear ALL of the statements. It’s an awful case and only the lawyers and victims know all the details. So if they are emotional, that’s why. They are privy to info that we the general public are not.

I lost my big brother to a drug overdose last year and what she said about feeling guilty on the days you don't remember them is so true. Also replaying all the times you hurt them in some stupid silly way and wishing you could see them one more time and tell them you love them. My brother's death is what brought me to God, because I need to believe I will see him again in the afterlife. It's the only thing that eases the pain a bit.
I have followed this trail for quite awhile now, and listened to all the families impact letters and well…….this one I felt on a different level💔from a only girl with brothers I felt this so much and how life would & could never be my “normal” without one of mine! I’m so so sorry any one person has to feel the level of hurt after each of these innocent lives were so, each of you remain in so many of our prayers🙏🏻
Why are they still in the court room???? Why is this being dragged out so long. This is so traumatizing that they have to relive this over and over. Is he getting the death penalty yet or not?!
This young woman has a fine way with words. The way she delivered them right at that monster showed courage... Though he himself didn't have courage enough to catch her glare! Nor did I expect him to either. Bless the memory of all the victims, and here's hoping this horrific event will springboard changes to protect the next generation., because every child should be able to go to school without fear... much less risk of gun violence.
*My brain can't come up with words for what my heart feels for these families. AND for the loss of 17 people I would loved to have known. And for what might have been.* 🙏❤️
This is sad and heartbreaking. The devastation this defendant has caused is beyond horrific. She said it all. Now, may justice be served in Full. I pray for you and your family.
I don't have words to respond to this heartbreaking loss. I am so very sorry for each person who lost a precious loved one in this senseless mass murder.
When I saw this one it hit me for a different reason. I struggle with depression daily. Hourly. By the minute at times. And a lot of my thoughts are about after I’m dead. Like will I cause my family to become more distant? Or could it force them to come together and appreciate the importance of family. But then I think of my sister. I think of her being the one to stop my mom and dad from blaming each other. I see her being stronger than most. But I can see her break down like she did. Idk. It actually made me cry for multiple reasons but that was the main one. I truly haven’t cried in years. And pls don’t worry or feel the need to say I’ll be okay. Those sort of comments make me only feel worse because I don’t really like attention. But if you feel the need to say it, I totally understand. Just know I’ve taken the steps to get help and I’m as optimistic as I can be! I guess I’m saying this as a reminder to realize at crucial times - it all can be over. This goes to siblings who may be mad at each other over something so small. Parents who may have kids acting out (find out why). Anyone who hasn’t spoke to family in years. Or friends who may be distant over a disagreement. Idk I feel what I said sounds kinda corny and dumb but felt the need to.
Thank you for sharing your message. Your words are important and so are you. Life’s not fun at times. I struggle with depression too, but the world needs one of you. Keep up the great work! ❤️
Every young person who spoke showed us adults how much we lose over our older years. The strength I have seen here warms my heart because I see hope in our future again. You all are such an inspiration and example of what so many of us have lost sight of in ourselves and others. I thank u for showing me what I feared didn't exist anymore. You are all my heroes. I pray u all stay strong in ur lives and God guides you every step of the way. I'm humbled. Ty
@@stevorobo692 Oh ok, idk. Religion, praying, and being spiritual is different for everyone. Others don’t have to follow my vibe or like my comment, it’s all good here.
Your life is not normal Abby but the world shares your pain and knows who made it abnormal ,if there is any justice in this world and although it will not bring Luke back. That justice will be served.
I lost my father recently after having a falling out with him and not speaking to him for awhile I'll always always blame myself and wish it was me that went or that I was there to try and save him be careful out there everyone
I personally don’t think I could ever defend this kind of person as an attorney. I would just be so disgusted hearing what he did to all of those children and to be on the side of him would absolutely disgust me.
This hurts insanely to listen to, absolutely heartbreaking. Now imagine the pain of this poor girl, her family, and ALL of the families and friends of the victims. Dear God help them all
His attorneys have cried when listening to each and everyone of the victim impact statements! Only an evil heartless bastard like Nick Cruz could listen and NOT cry!
Losing your loved one can effect your life, I lost a loved one 2 years ago, and developed an illness and depression, still fighting through it each day. Poor girl is living through it and it's not easy.
I lost my older brother to car accident and I understand the pain of loosing your sibling. I bet loosing your sibling to senseless school shooting is worse pain because it shouldn't have happened at all.
There’s a quote I keep seeing and it goes “ and now I will have to love you for longer than I’ve known you” this quote really hits deep and I feel it’s relevant for many of these family’s. Rest In Peace Luke. 🤍
I don't know how someone could just go out and hurt so many people. I get a lot of bullying, even as an adult but I don't think of going out and hurting a bunch of people. However, with that said, it should be obvious that not everyone reacts the same way. People should really try to be nicer to each other. If you don't like someone don't try and be friends, don't try and hangout, fine. But to just bully someone makes them part of the problem as well. There is no justification for what he did but you have to step back and think.. if he had not been bullied would this have still happened? Maybe.. maybe not.. but regardless, it wouldn't have made things worse.
I can't stand hearing that you get bullied even as an adult. I wish you could find a way to get away from those people. I hope you have very caring people in your life, too, and if you don't, please find some. Volunteer somewhere where good people are, anything. I care. ❤️
I totally agree, but this kid was mentally screwed, and I don't think bullying would've changed anything. His own mother hated him. He was violent since childhood.
How this girl spoke about her brother and how he was so special to her made everyone realize that an amazing human being was taken from the world by this monster.
I hav 2 brothers too, not normal is right!!! My brother died in a four wheeler accident in 2011! I know my family also is never the same!! I wish ALL the parkland parents, siblings & friends peace & love & justice ❤️🩹
*A reminder to those scrolling through the comments below* : DONT FEED THE TROLLS! You just acknowledge the dumb ignorant comment they make and they have won. That's all they want. Acknowledgment that they exist. Don't give it to them! Just ignore the comment and move on.
He did plead guilty so it's a matter of what sentence to give him. His lawyers are human and just doing their job assigned to them. I couldn't imagine being in their position.
I know your brother is not here physically but he is in your heart forever!!!! I know you miss your brother. He is always in your heart. My grandparents passed away & I miss them terribly. But I know I carry them in my heart. Your brother will always love you & look down from heaven and wait until you live a good long life & be successful. He wants you to be strong!!!!! My prayers are with you.... Be strong & do good in life!!! Be positive & work hard to become successful in life. That is what your brother wants you to do. May God bless you & protect you.
I'm so sorry when they say the first two years after are the worst, they are right, I don't remember a lot of my past because of it. I might sound dramatic but I'm not the same person anymore, for a while there I thought I wasn't even alive.
“On the days that I don’t think about my brother, I feel guilty. On the days that I do think about my brother, I feel broken. There is no peace.” Heart-wrenching, omg.

If an explanation of how one feels after losing a loved one, Abby, you have put feelings into words perfectly. My heart breaks for you, your family and all the families hurting from this tragedy. May the injected poison or electrical shower that Cruz will endure bring you some comfort as you heal.
Did you mean electric chair or is an electrical shower a actual form of execution cause I'm pretty sure an electric shower is just a way to bathe
that's a really american point of view, thinking that murdering an extra person will solve anything😂

I’m going to be so pissed if they don’t sentence him to death.
Is so hard to witness these families traumatized for years because of a mass shooting at a school. Nobody know only except them how it feels; hope and pray that she finds peace.
I lost my 18 year old son in 2015 to murder. So much of what she says hits me because I feel the same. I refer to my son as being present but deceased. Nothing about my life today is normal and never will be.
I’m so sorry

The purest words I ever spoke were as a 6 year old trying to deal with the loss of a friend. I had written in a class that "I wanted to forget him" and when my teacher asked "don't you mean remember?", I responded with "no, it's too painful to remember", and my teacher broke down in tears.
I lost my little brother to brain cancer and she hit every nail on the head . It's been 3 years for me and that trauma never goes away. I pray for all these families , especially the siblings . We highlight the parents which is expected but losing a younger sibling is so unnatural as well.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
The way I get through the loss of my loved one is to constantly remind myself that they would want me to keep going, thrive, be happy and be successful and live for both of us. I am not saying it's easy but I feel like it is the truth and what they would really want for me. It's the only way to honor someone we lose. We have to go on living and cannot die with them. Honor your brother by thriving and carrying on. I am pretty sure that is what he would want for you. Best wishes to you.
@@badlander6369 this was so well said and you’re right. That is what I’m sure our loved ones want but it’s so hard. I was so struck with grief when my Dad died. I shouldn’t be here but I am. Your words hit me exactly when I needed it because I’m struggling. Thank you 🙏🏻
@@NennieC123 Thank you. I believe that any negative behavior we engage in as a result of our loved one's death is dishonoring them instead of honoring them. I am sure they would not want their passing to be the catalyst for us doing anything bad or harmful to ourselves. Would we want any of our loved one's to fall apart if something were to happen to you ? There is a time for grief but there is not a time for guilt. Honor them by thriving.

This is evidenced by the lead Defense Attorney for NC being brought to uncontrollable tears as you spoke. Abbey, you honor Luke in an amazing & touching way.

As someone who tragically lost someone it is a wound that does not close and sometimes I don't understand why life is so unfair with good people 💔 I'm so sorry and karma exists for this monster.
I believed we are like actors in this temporary world, we have our own roles to portray, and we have our Director somewhere whom I also believed is behind all of these. I call him our creator, our supreme being. Everything here is already scripted, we have no absolute choice, but we can do simple adlibs. It is what it is, let’s just enjoy whatever role is tasked to us, at the end of the day I believed we all go back together in one paradise when our partial role is over here
Cruz took so many good people to gain self attention. I pray he is finally where he should be. Guns aren't the problem. He should never have been allowed access at any age.Many government agencies notified with no response. He should not have been allowed to attend Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS. Clearly he did not like the challenge. Should have been put at Cross Creek forever, no challenge. Many people are responsible, only one, Nicholas Jacob Cruz pulled the trigger, cold and calculating past what most people see in a lifetime.

I'm so sorry you've gone through that, I too lost my brother Justin in May 2020. I lost him to cancer, I couldn't imagine losing him to violence before he reached adulthood. The pain of being a sibling to a murdered child is more than anyone that hasn't been through that is more than anyone can imagine 💔
Reading all these comments is hard. My brother has overdosed 6 times in my life. I’m so glad he’s here and doing better. For all you who have lost someone to early I wish I could do something for but I can’t. I am so sorry for your losses and I hope that maybe one day things will get better. Much love from New Hampshire❤️
I’m sorry for what you’re going through with your brother. Never apologize for not being able to help others when you’re trying to help those close to you. You’re a good person for staying by his side. 🙏🙏🙏. Remember that staying strong doesn’t mean being hard or cold. Always let your emotions run freely so you don’t lie to yourself about how you feel. You’re doing great by talking about it on here. 🙏

I have ADHD, OCD, and PTSD and felt like I was nothing but a burden so
I overdosed at my school during my freshman year of high school because I had no friends and was a complete introvert. I remember waking up in the hospital and seeing how badly it affected my family. I'm almost 21 now, and I'm doing a lot better. My half-brother hung himself last year, and I nearly lost my big brother, but luckily he didn't go through with it as I did.
So you are not alone in this.
I'm so glad I'm not capable of getting attached to anyone.

I pray for my brothers now when they go off to school, hoping they still come back home all the time. I always tell them to always be careful, and I cannot imagine the pain this young lady is going through. My thoughts are with you and your family!! It is so hard to lose a sibling and as an older sister I can relate. They’re not just our siblings but our best friends who have watched us grow up and for them to see how far we have come in our lives, in hopes of paving the way and guiding them to be the best adults they can be. A sister’s love will always be the most gentle, kind, sweet and nurturing, next to the mother’s of course. Luke was so blessed to have you in his life. Stay strong. Love and blessings to you ❤️
So brave, sweet girl. I'm so sorry. My heart breaks for your loss. And no, this is NOT normal.

Bless your heart, young lady. I'm so sorry your brother was taken from you and your family.
It was heartbreaking when she said that now she only has one brother, and that her brother no longer has a brother.
How tragic life is. How sad and tragic it is all by itself. Then man chooses to make it devastating and tragic by his actions against his very own brother.
Their 'little trio'. That made me, a, 57 year old guy break down. This poor girl and her brother and Luke obviously thrived and loved life because they were going through life together, sharing experiences and guiding each other. That 3 has become 2 and their World has collapsed. I am certain they will pick up the pieces, carry on and make a success of their lives for the memory of Luke.
I also have 2 little brothers and this made me cry so much. I can’t imagine one of them dying. Im so so sorry for your loss.

Heart wrenching. This makes me cry for my little brother. I would lose it if anything ever happened to him.

I was saying to myself when I saw the defense attorney break down "How do you defend him?" He already admitted guilt. You know he's guilty.

I lost my big brother to a drug overdose last year and what she said about feeling guilty on the days you don't remember them is so true. Also replaying all the times you hurt them in some stupid silly way and wishing you could see them one more time and tell them you love them. My brother's death is what brought me to God, because I need to believe I will see him again in the afterlife. It's the only thing that eases the pain a bit.
I have followed this trail for quite awhile now, and listened to all the families impact letters and well…….this one I felt on a different level💔from a only girl with brothers I felt this so much and how life would & could never be my “normal” without one of mine! I’m so so sorry any one person has to feel the level of hurt after each of these innocent lives were so, each of you remain in so many of our prayers🙏🏻
After all of this, Cruz still didn’t get handed the death penalty due to one juror. Absolutely disgusting.
I couldn't fathom being in the same room as the person who killed my sibling.
Why are they still in the court room???? Why is this being dragged out so long. This is so traumatizing that they have to relive this over and over. Is he getting the death penalty yet or not?!
This young woman has a fine way with words.
The way she delivered them right at that monster showed courage... Though he himself didn't have courage enough to catch her glare!
Nor did I expect him to either.
Bless the memory of all the victims, and here's hoping this horrific event will springboard changes to protect the next generation., because every child should be able to go to school without fear... much less risk of gun violence.

Very brave of that young lady to keep her composure while talking about her brother.
This is sad and heartbreaking. The devastation this defendant has caused is beyond horrific. She said it all. Now, may justice be served in Full. I pray for you and your family.

Very brave and wonderful sister! Your words are very powerful the love for your brother is very real.. so sorry for your loss.
What an incredible and strong young woman. I could not have spoken with such control and passion as she did.
When I saw this one it hit me for a different reason. I struggle with depression daily. Hourly. By the minute at times. And a lot of my thoughts are about after I’m dead. Like will I cause my family to become more distant? Or could it force them to come together and appreciate the importance of family.
But then I think of my sister. I think of her being the one to stop my mom and dad from blaming each other. I see her being stronger than most. But I can see her break down like she did. Idk. It actually made me cry for multiple reasons but that was the main one.
I truly haven’t cried in years. And pls don’t worry or feel the need to say I’ll be okay. Those sort of comments make me only feel worse because I don’t really like attention. But if you feel the need to say it, I totally understand. Just know I’ve taken the steps to get help and I’m as optimistic as I can be!
I guess I’m saying this as a reminder to realize at crucial times - it all can be over. This goes to siblings who may be mad at each other over something so small. Parents who may have kids acting out (find out why). Anyone who hasn’t spoke to family in years. Or friends who may be distant over a disagreement.
Idk I feel what I said sounds kinda corny and dumb but felt the need to.
Thank you for sharing your message. Your words are important and so are you. Life’s not fun at times. I struggle with depression too, but the world needs one of you. Keep up the great work! ❤️
Every young person who spoke showed us adults how much we lose over our older years. The strength I have seen here warms my heart because I see hope in our future again. You all are such an inspiration and example of what so many of us have lost sight of in ourselves and others. I thank u for showing me what I feared didn't exist anymore. You are all my heroes. I pray u all stay strong in ur lives and God guides you every step of the way. I'm humbled. Ty

Losing your loved one can effect your life, I lost a loved one 2 years ago, and developed an illness and depression, still fighting through it each day. Poor girl is living through it and it's not easy.
I lost my older brother to car accident and I understand the pain of loosing your sibling. I bet loosing your sibling to senseless school shooting is worse pain because it shouldn't have happened at all.
Only ONE person from his defense team cried. The woman closest to the court camera.
Listening to her made my heart hurt.
There’s a quote I keep seeing and it goes “ and now I will have to love you for longer than I’ve known you” this quote really hits deep and I feel it’s relevant for many of these family’s. Rest In Peace Luke. 🤍
I don't know how someone could just go out and hurt so many people. I get a lot of bullying, even as an adult but I don't think of going out and hurting a bunch of people. However, with that said, it should be obvious that not everyone reacts the same way. People should really try to be nicer to each other. If you don't like someone don't try and be friends, don't try and hangout, fine. But to just bully someone makes them part of the problem as well. There is no justification for what he did but you have to step back and think.. if he had not been bullied would this have still happened? Maybe.. maybe not.. but regardless, it wouldn't have made things worse.
I can't stand hearing that you get bullied even as an adult. I wish you could find a way to get away from those people. I hope you have very caring people in your life, too, and if you don't, please find some. Volunteer somewhere where good people are, anything.
I care. ❤️
psychopathic narcissist. selfish people who have zero empathy. yes they exist.
Yeah if you'd look back at his videos and text messages you'd feel less sorry for him. Simply put, he was an awkward annoyance to a girl in a text.
I totally agree, but this kid was mentally screwed, and I don't think bullying would've changed anything.
