Yeah and that's after 4 years it's still traumatic of course he's upset fighting back tears of rage his daughter is gone and his life is forever altered. The life he had is over too it's as though his life ended when hers did it will never be the same. Tragic.
I'm a 49 yo male who doesn't show much emotion, but good lord, I cannot make it through any of these videos, I've never seen such misery and hurt. God, please help these people and we should all be praying for them.
@@enteratenuevayork6851 Thanks for your post. I'm sitting here today watching the Victim Impact Statements and it is totally disgusting watching him react to the people reading their statements to him. He's rolling his eyes, showing absolutely no remorse or anything as people are crying and breaking down in front of him. Never seen anything like this.
Same 25 male, often told I have no emotions but I do just don't show them.. this here has me in tears. Which I have never been over something not directly related to me in my life. Feel terrible for them. A true monster on earth.
Considering what he’s been through, this is incredibly measured and calm, having to take that level of anger and hate to the grave with you is another tragedy.
@@democratsmakeyoupoorerandr2335 The tears stop after awhile. Nobody is going to cry about things that happened to them years ago unless they're drunk or in therapy. Go pound sand basement dwelling troll - your hot pockets are ready.
"It was 4 years ago for everybody, but for me it was yesterday!" It's sad how the lives of those impacted from such a tragedy come to a screeching halt, while the rest of us carry on with everyday life
This man’s anger made me uncomfortable, as it should have! He is living every parent’s worst nightmare, proving it can happen to any of us at anytime. These raw emotions, feelings and pain that he feels is not fair. I can’t even imagine. Just the few minutes he spoke about his baby girl, Alyssa, shook me to my core. This is so terribly heart wrenching. R.I.P. to these 17 beautiful angels.
"proving it can happen to any of us at anytime." Well, the chance is a lot bigger if you live in a country where retards are yelling about their "right to bear arms", based on a completely obsolete line in an ancient constitution, written in and for a time that is in no way to be compared to modern days. The fact that no sensible person in the USA has ever realized that it's time to burn that constitution and write a 21st century version, would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

I feel awful for this father. He didn't erupt. He was letting us know the horrible crushing pain he was feeling. No parent should have to bury their child. Parents who have lost children told me it's a wound which never heals. My condolences to him and all those other families.
This Dad showed a side all of the parents feel, all of us feel- anger. He is not alone. He spoke very beautifully about his Daughter, Alyssa. He is right, this is not normal, none of us watching truly understand his pain… these parents should have NEVER experienced something so horrific! NO parent should fear sending their child to school!
@@davidwilliam9451 ain’t no fun when the rabbits got a gun huh?😂😂 stop making of people in the United States when they can do this kind of damage with a high powered rifle relatively easily🤣🤣
I can't even begin to comprehend the grief behind losing a child. I just wanted to hug this guy and let him just cry and scream. He painted a beautiful picture of his daughter and her relationship to him and her brothers. I continue to hold these parents in my prayers. I would say the list is getting big, but it got big with the first one killed. I'm at a loss.
i lost my daughter in a car accident and the grief is something that you couldn’t even comprehend in your worst nightmare but to know that another human being took her life would be next level cruelty to me and my loved ones…😢
The amount of sorrow I feel for people I don’t know is crazy. You should NEVER have to bury your children. This breaks my heart. I know if that was my family on the stand they wouldn’t be able to make a sentence without breaking apart. This man is so strong, all the families are strong
@@parklandpsy0pgoblina876 I don’t think it was duper’s delight. The father on the stand was talking about his wife sleeping with the deceased daughter’s blanket and the woman nods and smiles in agreement that it is a comforting gesture.
This shooting still sticks with me. I was in my sophomore year of high school. I was already so terrified of high school in general but the fear and anxiety of my school the day after was tense. We all felt it. We all continue to feel it. I shouldnt have graduated before some of those kids. They should be in college or trade school or the work force. Not in the ground.
Same, I remember seeing the Snapchat videos, having assembly’s, even having to do active shooter drills everyday in each class for the remainder of the year. I remember we didn’t even have fire drills for that entire year after this happened because at the time everyone was under the impression that Cruz pulled the fire alarm which now we know he didn’t. It was traumatizing, not as much as it was for the ones who loved it but over here in Arkansas it was so sad.
I was in school when the Columbine shooting happened, it effected me tremendously. I was convinced it would happen in our school, and it changed the way I lived.
This is the exact reason why we do not send exchange students to the US anymore. Instead, we send them to Canada, Australia, or Britain if they want to learn English - much safer places. I am so happy I moved to Germany where my daughter can go to school every day without being afraid.
Dude... this is just horrible. Having a daughter myself, this just break me. I can't imagine the pain this man goes through on a daily and nightly basis.
I'm not saying i don't feel sorry for them but maybe all this is happening because people have turned away from God. He protects those who truly serve him.
@@Graylegs Not at all, but if a person chooses not to serve him then why should they expect him to protect them? Besides he died for us why shouldn't we serve him?
@@tamitribbiani7907 Wow, god has a fragile ego then. Ridiculous. Why do some babies get treated horribly and die shortly after being born and some don't?
@@Graylegs So if you died a horrible death for everyone's sins and those same people just turned their backs on you that'd be just fine with you i guess. And to clarify i mean he protects his people from evil.
"I have to live my life with anger now" I know what he's talking about; when you loose a child to cancer it's a terrible tragedy and the sadness you have to deal with will have you gasping for air, yet it's nobody's fault. When you daughter is murdered not only you have to live without her you also feel that your soul has been kidnapped because no matter how hard you try you can't be that guy you used to know as yourself.
This is why you get a nice scope, a nice ar-10, a nice spot next to the court house and you get rid of the murderer. That's the only closure I could ever think of is enough.

Felt every single word this man spoke... His daughter would be so proud and grateful for how he represented her today... My heart is with all these family's today. 💞 Deepest condolences.
I understand that he had hopes and dreams for his child....but, she was 14 years old....and he actually believes he KNEW exactly everything about what her life would have been had she not been killed???? For me, it made his statement less powerful and less compelling. Still tragic and sad of course.
@@tinameyer7080 I think it’s just a part of healing, the fact that he doesn’t know but he can just imagine her being that… and he will never really know. Which is the whole point. I thought it was beautiful that he imagines her in such a way.

As a father of a daughter, I felt the pain in every word spoken. I can't remember the last time I actually cry but I did while watching and hearing this father's pain. May his daughter's soul and those other innocent victims rest in eternal peace.
I just left a lady's house who I was supposed to look at her microwave issue. Turns out she loss her only daughter 16 years ago and she's never been the same she said. It's still effecting her 16 years later and I could feel the pain in her voice. I decided to do the work for free because I couldn't imagine what she's been through just like this father. Losing a child has to be hardest thing on this planet.
I can't imagine how hard this is for a parent to go through. His anger is justified and shows how much he loves his daughter, how much it broke him and how much he misses her. Poor guy. He is definitely an amazing father.
No tears. Still so many unanswered questions. Lanza was probably groomed by the fbi. I can’t believe they awarded these people $50million because Alex questioned the story and the facts. So many just get sucked into the emotional aspect and ignore the obvious questions surrounding this horrible situation.

Not just part of a process but also there's the hope that the killer will get death Penalty, I dearly hope that is the case!!! If death Penalty is enacted, that will help a little.
My heart goes out to Alyssa’s family, all the families and victims of this senseless crime. Most people will never understand the damage that reverberates from the murder of one person. That murder affects so many lives on such a deep level. Elderly people( grandparents) often have a stroke or heart attack as a result of hearing of a murdered grandchild. No one ever ‘gets over ‘ this kind of crime. They simply learn to live with it. . . or they don’t, because they can’t. Very tragic and unnecessary.

As a father of 3 girls this video brings tears to my eyes and makes me hug my girls a little tighter, I can’t imagine going through what this man is going through but I hope he continues to get all the support from friends and family
I was in 8th grade when this tragedy occurred. We organized and held a prayer service mass at my school in honor of those who lost their lives and for their families. As we prayed we read each name over the speaker and laid a rose upon the alter in their honor. I will always remember I had the honor to lay Alyssa’s rose. My thoughts and prayers remain with you all.
My kids are older, but last year, we lost my firstborn, a daughter.(Accident, not murder.) Her younger brother and sister struggle with their memories, the bad and the good. People tend to forget how siblings' lives are affected by losing one, and so I'm really gratified that Alyssa's dad here made mention of this. I pray for peace in all our hearts, all of us members if "the club nobody wants to be in." My daughter's birthday is coming up late in this month, and over eight months later, I still can't bring myself to read the poems and songs she wrote in the last few months of her life. It takes something out of me when I garner the energy to sort through yet another bag of her belongings. She was supposed to have been there for me when I get old, and now I'll have to go it without her. She will always, always be my baby. Blessings of peace and hope to Alyssa's family, and to the families of all kids who die before their time. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm so sorry you had to experience such tragedy. Just know in due time u will be able to read and a sing her songs. Take life one day at a time because its never a time limit on grieving. Blessings to you and your family ❤
Yes me too, I’m in tears, I just can’t imagine how anybody can take somebody else’s life. I love people. How did this boy get so twisted to kill all of these kids.
None of us can except for these various loved ones who were left to pick up the pieces…..to all of the various shootings! But it still breaks my heart to hear these family and friends speak of these precious anglers! Sending love and prayers to all those touched by trade goes of this nature. That slug should pay with torment and misery!!!
Unfortunately, you know that all this grief is going in one ear and coming out the other for the murderer. He already said in his journal that he wanted the parents to suffer and didn't care. He only seems to have an actual reaction when something embarrassing about him is spoken about. He's eating all this up and loving it.
its sickening honestly!! but when all this media attention is gone Nikolas wont find peace in his Cell. its all gonna play out in his mind! I wish i can watch him suffer every minute
Your grief is eloquent, heartbreaking and haunting. Alyssa was lucky to have you as a father. It is why she was such a wonderful young woman - the love from her family was such a power of good. You are a remarkable person to have endured what you have endured since her murder. My heart goes out to you. And yes, this is NOT normal. This. Is. Not. Normal.
@@spoon4682 no it’s not. Not when it’s your kid and you’re talking about the pain of losing them. I know as a parent… there were never any tears from any of these people. They pretend to wipe tears…. It’s sus
@@gracemarion499 if you were talking about the murder of your kids, you’d probably cry and be emotionally overwhelmed by the topic on the stand. I’ve never seen any of them cry. It was the first thing that seemed really suspect about this whole situation. Green screens used. Photo shoots moving kids around in pictures for the same dramatic shot, etc etc, so much about this was suspect .. that lady isn’t crying either but she pretends to wipe tears.. lets be honest… Maybe it was real though and Lanza was just another 1fbi groomed shooter. They seems to have connections to most.
I’m going to tell you the worst feeling as a parent is losing a child, but a very, very close second is telling their younger sibling. I’ve healed from much of the pain from that Sunday morning, but I won’t ever get over watching a 10 year old boy be overcome by grief and completely fall to pieces in front of me.
I truly feel horrible for these parents and he’s right no father or mother should go through losing a child . I personally know families that have watched their very young children suffer then pass from cancer and other sicknesses and it’s truly heartbreaking. Be thankful for the time you have with your children because life can throw some really bad crap your way . Hug them and treat them like todays their last day , that’s how we live in my house nobody goes to bed angry nobody just walks away from a fight you must always open your heart and find peace because it could be the last time you see them .
That's not how the household I grew up in was. Nothing was ever resolved. It was a bottomless pit of psychological hell living there. Thanks for speaking on how things should be, though.
I lost my best friend and cousin 23yo freak happenstance about 5 years ago. It broke the faith in our family. All my good memories were shared with him, we were supposed to grow old together and our kids grow up together like we did. Life's short.
What a powerful, heartfelt impact statement. That was so tragically beautiful and wrenching how he handled his testimony. God bless them all, the victims and their families and friends.
@@hereticapostate9560 I pray the Good Lord above removes that painful chip off your shoulder. I have no hurtful words for you or anyone else, and I do participate in "real world" solutions as well as my faith based solutions. To some it goes hand in hand.
I commend him for his honesty and raw emotion. He deserves to express the suffering they’ve endured. Anyone who’s offended by anger has not gone through this level of adversity and suffering.
Opening in detail to the rage, anger and pain that he is going through provides so much knowledge about how differently humans deal with pain and traumatizing events. When he describes "I burn like an inferno' and his facial expression clearly shows his rage/anger he then mentions 'anger... fuels my existence' and he also mentions his process of 'feeling empathy again' and how this affects his profession which as a doctor comes in contact with vulnerable people. How people deal with traumatizing experiences has lead to a continuous study of human behavior and it is still ongoing for instance a rapist and killer who tortured his victims indicated that he was raped and abused as a child and that his criminal actions allowed him to release that hatred, rage and seeing someone else in pain and suffering fueled his anger. Thus, at the end of the day regardless of personality traits, genetics, coping mechanisms and whether there is support or not at the end is FREE WILL to go into darkness and harm others or seek the light and enter a healing journey that requires courage and resilience.
His strength and endurance in his grief is inspiring. The outpouring of love from his community and THE WORLD is a monument to mankind's courage and a testimony to humanity. Why isn't this on the BBC News!?
I lost my Dad to cancer. I loved him more than I know words to say. Seeing a Dad talk about His little girl tears me up. I can’t watch a Daddy suffer. It’s a horrible sight and sound. This is horrible.
This tore me in half to listen to. My daughter is 23 and I was worried every day she was in school which is insane to have to feel. This and the Sandy Hook trial...it's just devastating to see the parents after. I would never recover...ever.
This was so powerful. You could really tell the love he had for his sweet daughter Alyssa. I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm sorry you have to relive this
If this is considered “erupting” then I don’t know what you would call it if that were me. I don’t know if I would even be able to hold myself back from jumping on the person who murdered my child. This is so heart breaking. This father was very calm compared to what I’m sure he wanted to do and he put it perfectly into words. So sad!
@@msb46 you’d be surprised to see how far a person can go when they have nothing left to lose. Especially a grieving parent filled with anger. I’m sure if any of those parents were left in a room for 5 minutes with that sick monster he would be dead.
There’s a name for all sorts of death. But no one ever prepares you to bury your baby. My silent tears fall for this father. I can’t imagine the depth of his grief. My heart goes out to him.
His grief is raw you can feel, his despair. I can't imagine the heartache, he must be feeling. I wish I could carry or take away his pain for him. 😢 His powerful impact statement conveys his immense love for his beloved daughter, Alyssa, so eloquently.
As a father of two daughters - the youngest of which just celebrated her wedding two weekends ago - this speech had a profound impact on me. I can't begin to imagine the depths of his (and his family's) sorrow and grief. His words paint a picture of loss that sadly is becoming all too common in today's society. It should be a rallying cry across the nation that fundamental change must take place.

It's normal for all of us to get drawn into this, no matter how much it breaks us.. I feel for all of them, and felt every word here :( and that is not fair of me to say, because I don't know the exact pain any of these Families feel.. I just know The shooter disgusts me along with them and hope soon justice can help mend some of this disaster and they can celebrate the victims lives just a little bit... Regardless, They have a world full of support, and I hope they know that.
Do you know what think about girls/women: You all are the best people on our planet. I'd take my own life before I'd harm one. Always, I had girlfriends while I was growing up. If I were reincarnated, I'd focus most of my life on trying to as attractive as I can for the ladies. Cruz is obviously a misogynist who hates you all, and I HATE HIM!
i’ve watched a lot of videos from this trial but it’s something about the emotion behind this fathers speech bringing me to tears. i pray this man finds peace in something he loves doing and same for all the other families who lost family members in this horrific act of terror.

Man this is the kind of pain nobody deserves to go through. I don’t even have children but having lived with family and seeing two of my cousins grow up since birth I can’t fathom ever losing them like this. I’d be beyond devastated and i know I wouldn’t be as strong as this man.
This poor dad, breaks my heart for him, I can’t even begin to Imagine the pain he & his family are going through every single moments of each day, so unbelievably sad.
The woman in the gallery mouthing “me too” when in reference to the father on the stand saying his wife sleeps with Alyssa’s blankets. I’m the father of two beautiful daughters. I cannot even fathom this man’s pain.
The guy has no remorse for what he’s done at times covering his ears when earing himself doing this terrible thing i hurt so much for this family and every other family who will never be the same🥺❤️
Even if he had remorse, would that change anything? Killers who say they’re remorseful are lying. Only after they’re caught do they “have remorse”. Bottom line is, if he genuinely had remorse, society would give a 💩 so why say “I have remorse”.
Listening to this man talk about his daughter is so heartbreaking. All the things that his daughter won't get to do. My heart goes out to him and his family.
God just wanted her to go to heaven. Why do they need comfort if their daughter is in heaven? How do you know God didn't send Cruz to kill those kids for some greater purpose?
I lost it when he described his little son on that day calling him for updates if they found her and him knowing the truth but stalling having to tell him, Imagining being in his shoes having to go back home and bring this horrific news is so unbearably painful. :(
The amount of pain he has cannot even be expressed through his words. A very powerful speech and I hope that this poor man finds some healing and comfort from his other family members. Peace and blessings.
I have a 3 year old daughter....I can't even imagine the pain I would feel if something like this happened to her. There is not even words. I'm so sorry for all these families. I pray that God will heal their hearts
This Parkland trial has been so difficult to watch but I feel like this is the only way to honor those precious babies who lost their lives way too young. Once you suddenly lose someone young to some act of violence, you get so confused with mourning. In my 20s my fiancee was killed by a crazy drugged out driver who already had lost her license for 3 prior DUIs but this time she killed my love and put his younger brother in a coma for months. I had only lost beloved pets prior to his death so I was just in shock and could not process the sudden death like that, and the loss of my entire future. I have never forgotten, and you never can "get over" such a loss. As time passed I really recognized how much more his parents suffered losing their son, but I was too weak of a person to give them real comfort and soon lost touch with them because it was too painful. I just tried to escape my emotions, but this father, is better for acknowledging his pain and sadness and anger. God bless all the families who lost their little angels so soon. They all seemed like amazing kids with bright futures at Parkland! May you have some peace in your lives.
Yes, they should be known individually and celebrated for their special and unique qualities! Each of these victims should be seen for who they are and I would rather see their lovely pictures that that jerk’s emotionless face. And for the defense lawyers who were affected by the testimonies and the huge male lawyer that dwarfs him, he just seemed utterly disgusted with Cruz.
nobody cared when i almost committed suicide i was complaining about the abuse for months and nobody did anything im going to only kill the ones who have abused me no one else i can't live another day knowing they get to live their lives normally while i now have trauma forever
I'm laying in bed recovering from emergency surgery in a very uncomfortable situation and another surgery coming up apparently,... feeling sorry for myself until I watched this. This put it in perspective and my problem is a flea on the moon. My heart goes out to all these parents and families for such a tragic and senseless act.
i’m home from the hospital today and listening to this man speak made me forget about the pain i’m in. it doesn’t even compare to the hurt him and his family are going through grieving Alyssa. ps: get well soon!
The parents and families of the souls Cruz slaughtered are incredible. To have the strength and dignity to sit there every day after a 4 year wait and have to listen to what happened, and still remain calm, is nothing short of incredible. I know I’m not that strong and I know I wouldn’t be able to sit in the same room as the toxic waste of life that carried out this massacre.
I look up to my older sister and this really hits home when he says the brother looks up to Alyssa. If she were my sister I would be in dire straights. I can only imagine what it is like to be in his shoes. I really hope you can one day find peace and am very sorry once again for your loss.
Losing a child, no matter their age is so painful. I lost my son in 2020, but not to a murderer. He was 43. The grief is very deep and the heartache this man feels is so real. Sending thoughts of peace and comfort to Parkland families.
my daughter just turned 2 last week.. she’s so amazing. she literally saved my life and gave me reason to live for.. more than just myself and the many vices and thrills i would chase.. starting out fun, but always leading to a pitfall of despair and disappointment. i was so selfish in the way i lived, and you don’t even realize that until you have a legit change like i had. then it hits you like a ton of bricks and you’re like DUh! it’s embarrassing and shameful that you don’t come to that conclusion by yourself long before because it’s so obvious after the fact. now, i wouldn’t say i was a bad person. i have great friends and family, no enemies, and i think 99 out of 100 people would tell you i was a good person who was kind and considerate, caring and honest, dependable and trustworthy.. but thats all surface level in comparison when talking about the true you that only you know.. your soul. this baby girl changed my life for the better and i’ll do everything i can to show her how happy she makes me and how much she is loved, until i take my last breath. i can’t imagine the pain and anger and hatred and despair that i would feel if she was taken from me.. listening to this man pour his heart out, made me shed a tear. thinking about the hard reality that he is facing every second of every day.. i couldn’t do it. and nothing can ever make up for the time lost with her, but i know he is happy he was able to spend 14 amazing years with her and it sounds like this family, and their community, will do everything they can to keep her memory alive. thinking about losing my daughter at just the age of 2… i truly can’t even picture it. i am a very mentally strong individual, and i don’t believe there is anything in this world that i can’t do or accomplish with the right motivation and dedication of time.. but with that being said.. if she was taken from me like this, i would break.. heads would roll, and bodies would hit the floor, along with my own. the hatred that would build up inside me would be unquenchable.. and i’m truly afraid to see what i would become.. i can feel the pain and hatred in every single word that comes out of this man’s mouth. it’s practically seething out of his every pore, you can feel the energy that is built up inside him that is just wanting to be released. like an eruption. pray for this man and his family and their community. no one deserves this

My great grandmother once told me that the most painful loss you will ever know in life is your child dying before you do... After watching this father speak and hearing the pain, the anger, and the overwhelming sorrow in his voice, I definitely don't think she was wrong. Not in the slightest. I have a lot of sympathy for these families, and it definitely takes restraint to go into a court room with the individual who murdered your child and be civil, even though on the inside you have to be screaming. God, I can't even imagine. Their restraint and grace is truly admirable, cause I couldn't do it.
A parent should never have to bury their child. This man is in so much pain. His daughter touched people's lives in the most positive and uplifting way. It is such a tragic loss. The fact that all these amazing lives are being lost at the hand of another person for no reason. The killer should've gotten the death penalty. He should've never gotten life in prison. He showed no mercy when he gunned down his victims. We should not be showing mercy to him now.
May he get through this with all the strength in the world. He’s a wonderful and loving father. She was truly lucky. I would do anything to have such a compassionate dad ❤️ sending prayers to this family
Instead of telling his sad pity story, it might be better to focus on the solution. We live in an atheist society which is the root cause of these crazy school shooters. If Nicholas Cruz would have been raised to believe in God and respect all life, then he would never have committed these acts. Being angry isn't going to help anything. He should be angry at our degraded culture and society. People should be taught about karma. Nicholas Cruz is a by-product of our atheistic culture. Also, stop killing innocent animals as well. Millions of innocent animals are slaughtered mercilessly, but we only get shocked when innocent humans are murdered. Implement the changes mentioned above, and the senseless killing will stop.
@@robertnicholas9468 it’s f***ed up that you would bring religion into this. There have been many times in history when “people of God” committed horrendous acts.

He needs to have peace. Chaos happens to all of us. Doesn’t matter what it is. Loss, tragedy, suffering is part of life. We also have happiness, laughter, and newness. Everyone here will need peace. It’s important for your soul to have inner peace and comfort. I lost my first daughter too. She was almost 6. I have peace now. What could have, what would, why is not going to help. Life is about balance. I pray this family finds peace. They have to be thankful for what they have left. I have one son left and I’m thankful for him everyday.
My heart is wrenched watching this gentleman describe the trauma of suddenly losing his daughter. I know from experience of losing loved ones that the only thing that heals the wound is time. I wish him nothing but the best and of course my condolences.
My throat is burning from trying not to cry but I can’t help the emotions I feel from his words. He told ever else grief and left his for last. Very noble of him to be grieving after loosing his baby girl but at the same time worried of feeling for his other family members who aren’t coping with this loss easily. Rip sweat girl ❤️🙏🏾
I was in my junior year going to a highschool very close to the one where the event occurred. I felt so much fear, sadness, and anger. I visited the school for weekends after the event and would leave notes and flowers. I’ve never felt so close to something like this, and I pray that the families of the lost children, teachers, and friends of those all find healing and peace within themselves.

This shooting still sticks with me. I was in my sophomore year of high school. I was already so terrified of high school in general but the fear and anxiety of my school the day after was tense. We all felt it. We all continue to feel it. I shouldnt have graduated before some of those kids. They should be in college or trade school or the work force. Not in the ground.
Same, I remember seeing the Snapchat videos, having assembly’s, even having to do active shooter drills everyday in each class for the remainder of the year. I remember we didn’t even have fire drills for that entire year after this happened because at the time everyone was under the impression that Cruz pulled the fire alarm which now we know he didn’t. It was traumatizing, not as much as it was for the ones who loved it but over here in Arkansas it was so sad.

"I have to live my life with anger now" I know what he's talking about; when you loose a child to cancer it's a terrible tragedy and the sadness you have to deal with will have you gasping for air, yet it's nobody's fault. When you daughter is murdered not only you have to live without her you also feel that your soul has been kidnapped because no matter how hard you try you can't be that guy you used to know as yourself.

I was in 8th grade when this tragedy occurred.
We organized and held a prayer service mass at my school in honor of those who lost their lives and for their families.
As we prayed we read each name over the speaker and laid a rose upon the alter in their honor.
I will always remember I had the honor to lay Alyssa’s rose. My thoughts and prayers remain with you all.
My kids are older, but last year, we lost my firstborn, a daughter.(Accident, not murder.) Her younger brother and sister struggle with their memories, the bad and the good. People tend to forget how siblings' lives are affected by losing one, and so I'm really gratified that Alyssa's dad here made mention of this.
I pray for peace in all our hearts, all of us members if "the club nobody wants to be in." My daughter's birthday is coming up late in this month, and over eight months later, I still can't bring myself to read the poems and songs she wrote in the last few months of her life. It takes something out of me when I garner the energy to sort through yet another bag of her belongings. She was supposed to have been there for me when I get old, and now I'll have to go it without her. She will always, always be my baby.
Blessings of peace and hope to Alyssa's family, and to the families of all kids who die before their time.

That's not how the household I grew up in was. Nothing was ever resolved. It was a bottomless pit of psychological hell living there. Thanks for speaking on how things should be, though.
I lost my best friend and cousin 23yo freak happenstance about 5 years ago. It broke the faith in our family. All my good memories were shared with him, we were supposed to grow old together and our kids grow up together like we did. Life's short.

What a powerful, heartfelt impact statement. That was so tragically beautiful and wrenching how he handled his testimony. God bless them all, the victims and their families and friends.
Plz keep your god/s out of Real World issues. It’s completely useless and unhelpful.
@@hereticapostate9560 I pray the Good Lord above removes that painful chip off your shoulder. I have no hurtful words for you or anyone else, and I do participate in "real world" solutions as well as my faith based solutions. To some it goes hand in hand.

I commend him for his honesty and raw emotion. He deserves to express the suffering they’ve endured. Anyone who’s offended by anger has not gone through this level of adversity and suffering.
I think it's a normal response to something traumatic like this.
Opening in detail to the rage, anger and pain that he is going through provides so much knowledge about how differently humans deal with pain and traumatizing events. When he describes "I burn like an inferno' and his facial expression clearly shows his rage/anger he then mentions 'anger... fuels my existence' and he also mentions his process of 'feeling empathy again' and how this affects his profession which as a doctor comes in contact with vulnerable people.
How people deal with traumatizing experiences has lead to a continuous study of human behavior and it is still ongoing for instance a rapist and killer who tortured his victims indicated that he was raped and abused as a child and that his criminal actions allowed him to release that hatred, rage and seeing someone else in pain and suffering fueled his anger. Thus, at the end of the day regardless of personality traits, genetics, coping mechanisms and whether there is support or not at the end is FREE WILL to go into darkness and harm others or seek the light and enter a healing journey that requires courage and resilience.
My heart broke when he mentioned the father-daughter dance. No-one should have to go through what these people have gone through.
His strength and endurance in his grief is inspiring. The outpouring of love from his community and THE WORLD is a monument to mankind's courage and a testimony to humanity. Why isn't this on the BBC News!?
They only report bad stuff from the US I hate it here
whats the point? they are still having daily mass shootings and dont want to do a thing to stop them.

I lost my Dad to cancer. I loved him more than I know words to say. Seeing a Dad talk about His little girl tears me up. I can’t watch a Daddy suffer. It’s a horrible sight and sound. This is horrible.

This tore me in half to listen to. My daughter is 23 and I was worried every day she was in school which is insane to have to feel.

This was so powerful. You could really tell the love he had for his sweet daughter Alyssa. I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm sorry you have to relive this
If this is considered “erupting” then I don’t know what you would call it if that were me. I don’t know if I would even be able to hold myself back from jumping on the person who murdered my child. This is so heart breaking. This father was very calm compared to what I’m sure he wanted to do and he put it perfectly into words. So sad!
Would love to see get arrested if you tried to jump the killer
@@msb46 you’d be surprised to see how far a person can go when they have nothing left to lose. Especially a grieving parent filled with anger. I’m sure if any of those parents were left in a room for 5 minutes with that sick monster he would be dead.

You would be escorted out.
There’s a name for all sorts of death. But no one ever prepares you to bury your baby. My silent tears fall for this father. I can’t imagine the depth of his grief. My heart goes out to him.
His grief is raw you can feel, his despair. I can't imagine the heartache, he must be feeling. I wish I could carry or take away his pain for him. 😢 His powerful impact statement conveys his immense love for his beloved daughter, Alyssa, so eloquently.
As a father of two daughters - the youngest of which just celebrated her wedding two weekends ago - this speech had a profound impact on me. I can't begin to imagine the depths of his (and his family's) sorrow and grief. His words paint a picture of loss that sadly is becoming all too common in today's society. It should be a rallying cry across the nation that fundamental change must take place.

@@DodgeMotorsports SHAME FOR WHAT
@@DodgeMotorsports shame on him?! What planet are you living on?? This worthless piece of crap got rejected by some girl who wanted nothing to do with him, so he went and murdered a bunch of children. How could you NOT hate this guy?!
@@DodgeMotorsports dude, F you. This isn't about mental health. All of this is based on entitled, MALE rage. I hope they toss Nikolas Cruz in GP, where he gets the beating and shanking he is due.
@@DodgeMotorsports get out of here! Don’t shame someone for feeling hatred for a monster that stole children away from their parents and families!! He knew exactly what he was doing! None of those kids he killed ever did a thing to him!! They didn’t Deserve this and their parents certainly don’t deserve the loss and pain they’ve endured! So don’t shame someone for feeling anger and hatred! Because as a mother of three children who are the ages of these innocent children who were taken too soon….I hate him as well!!! He deserves all the hate and animosity he receives and may he rot in prison until his dying day whether that is execution style or old age idc ….
@Henry Cross ppl seem to think because the girl dissed him that day that that’s the reasoning behind his madness but he had this planned long before her texts!!
His rage is so understandable. My heart. My god.
This is heart wrenching…my heart goes out to him & everyone who lost someone in this awful tragedy.
Tell me a fable....
I don’t know why I watch this, knowing my heart breaks right along with each families testimony. I can NOT imagine their pain. I pray for God to wrap his arms around every family and give them the strength to get through this unimaginable nightmare! I’m so sorry you lost your babies. 🙏🏼🛐💔😢😢
It's normal for all of us to get drawn into this, no matter how much it breaks us.. I feel for all of them, and felt every word here :( and that is not fair of me to say, because I don't know the exact pain any of these Families feel.. I just know The shooter disgusts me along with them and hope soon justice can help mend some of this disaster and they can celebrate the victims lives just a little bit... Regardless, They have a world full of support, and I hope they know that.
You watch it for the same reason we all do: morbid curiosity. Ooh, a grieving father, can't wait to see how much he suffers!
Why didn’t God stop this before it happened 😔
God doesn’t exist. If He did, it would be His fault that this happened.
Do you know what think about girls/women: You all are the best people on our planet. I'd take my own life before I'd harm one. Always, I had girlfriends while I was growing up. If I were reincarnated, I'd focus most of my life on trying to as attractive as I can for the ladies. Cruz is obviously a misogynist who hates you all, and I HATE HIM!
i’ve watched a lot of videos from this trial but it’s something about the emotion behind this fathers speech bringing me to tears. i pray this man finds peace in something he loves doing and same for all the other families who lost family members in this horrific act of terror.
No family should ever have to go through something like this. My heart goes out to all affected.

Man this is the kind of pain nobody deserves to go through. I don’t even have children but having lived with family and seeing two of my cousins grow up since birth I can’t fathom ever losing them like this. I’d be beyond devastated and i know I wouldn’t be as strong as this man.

Deepest Condolences to this family. Their daughter's laugh and smile are now forever etched upon the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
The guy has no remorse for what he’s done at times covering his ears when earing himself doing this terrible thing i hurt so much for this family and every other family who will never be the same🥺❤️
If I was that judge, I would have stopped the trial dead and had his hands handcuffed behind his back. Cannot believe he was allowed to plug his ears.
He shouldn't be allowed to cover his ears.
Even if he had remorse, would that change anything? Killers who say they’re remorseful are lying. Only after they’re caught do they “have remorse”. Bottom line is, if he genuinely had remorse, society would give a 💩 so why say “I have remorse”.
Listening to this man talk about his daughter is so heartbreaking. All the things that his daughter won't get to do. My heart goes out to him and his family.
Dear Heavenly Father , please watch over and comfort the students and family members who's lives have been forever changed by this senseless act. Amen
How can you believe in God your entire site is full of the occult and satanic movies and music ?
Amen
Amen 🙏🏽
God just wanted her to go to heaven. Why do they need comfort if their daughter is in heaven? How do you know God didn't send Cruz to kill those kids for some greater purpose?
Amen
What a speech
Every bit of anger every bit of pain I felt
My heart goes out to him and his family ❤️❤️❤️
Ya you are right. What a speech. Almost like he's reading a script like an actor. Oh wait he is. Only brainwash sheep out there believe this nonsense
I lost it when he described his little son on that day calling him for updates if they found her and him knowing the truth but stalling having to tell him, Imagining being in his shoes having to go back home and bring this horrific news is so unbearably painful. :(
The amount of pain he has cannot even be expressed through his words. A very powerful speech and I hope that this poor man finds some healing and comfort from his other family members. Peace and blessings.
I have a 3 year old daughter....I can't even imagine the pain I would feel if something like this happened to her. There is not even words. I'm so sorry for all these families. I pray that God will heal their hearts
This Parkland trial has been so difficult to watch but I feel like this is the only way to honor those precious babies who lost their lives way too young. Once you suddenly lose someone young to some act of violence, you get so confused with mourning. In my 20s my fiancee was killed by a crazy drugged out driver who already had lost her license for 3 prior DUIs but this time she killed my love and put his younger brother in a coma for months. I had only lost beloved pets prior to his death so I was just in shock and could not process the sudden death like that, and the loss of my entire future. I have never forgotten, and you never can "get over" such a loss. As time passed I really recognized how much more his parents suffered losing their son, but I was too weak of a person to give them real comfort and soon lost touch with them because it was too painful. I just tried to escape my emotions, but this father, is better for acknowledging his pain and sadness and anger. God bless all the families who lost their little angels so soon. They all seemed like amazing kids with bright futures at Parkland! May you have some peace in your lives.
Yes, they should be known individually and celebrated for their special and unique qualities! Each of these victims should be seen for who they are and I would rather see their lovely pictures that that jerk’s emotionless face. And for the defense lawyers who were affected by the testimonies and the huge male lawyer that dwarfs him, he just seemed utterly disgusted with Cruz.
Democrats Love murdering babies, abortion
nobody cared when i almost committed suicide i was complaining about the abuse for months and nobody did anything im going to only kill the ones who have abused me no one else i can't live another day knowing they get to live their lives normally while i now have trauma forever
I'm laying in bed recovering from emergency surgery in a very uncomfortable situation and another surgery coming up apparently,... feeling sorry for myself until I watched this. This put it in perspective and my problem is a flea on the moon. My heart goes out to all these parents and families for such a tragic and senseless act.
Blessings for a speedy recovery
Get well soon 👍💪🙏
We all feel sorry for ourselves at times. It's ok. Don't feel bad. I hope your surgeries went well.
May you be blessed and recover soon
i’m home from the hospital today and listening to this man speak made me forget about the pain i’m in. it doesn’t even compare to the hurt him and his family are going through grieving Alyssa.
ps: get well soon!
No father should go through this.
His speech is heartbreaking 💔.
The parents and families of the souls Cruz slaughtered are incredible. To have the strength and dignity to sit there every day after a 4 year wait and have to listen to what happened, and still remain calm, is nothing short of incredible. I know I’m not that strong and I know I wouldn’t be able to sit in the same room as the toxic waste of life that carried out this massacre.
Why did it take 4 years?

ALL THE LOVE, ALL THE LOVE in the world to these parents. I can't imagine the pain they go through, thus is barely a glimpse.
Outfield fan ?
I look up to my older sister and this really hits home when he says the brother looks up to Alyssa. If she were my sister I would be in dire straights. I can only imagine what it is like to be in his shoes. I really hope you can one day find peace and am very sorry once again for your loss.
Losing a child, no matter their age is so painful. I lost my son in 2020, but not to a murderer. He was 43. The grief is very deep and the heartache this man feels is so real. Sending thoughts of peace and comfort to Parkland families.
I’m so sorry 😞
Bless you ❤️
my daughter just turned 2 last week.. she’s so amazing. she literally saved my life and gave me reason to live for.. more than just myself and the many vices and thrills i would chase.. starting out fun, but always leading to a pitfall of despair and disappointment. i was so selfish in the way i lived, and you don’t even realize that until you have a legit change like i had. then it hits you like a ton of bricks and you’re like DUh! it’s embarrassing and shameful that you don’t come to that conclusion by yourself long before because it’s so obvious after the fact.
now, i wouldn’t say i was a bad person. i have great friends and family, no enemies, and i think 99 out of 100 people would tell you i was a good person who was kind and considerate, caring and honest, dependable and trustworthy.. but thats all surface level in comparison when talking about the true you that only you know.. your soul.
this baby girl changed my life for the better and i’ll do everything i can to show her how happy she makes me and how much she is loved, until i take my last breath.
i can’t imagine the pain and anger and hatred and despair that i would feel if she was taken from me.. listening to this man pour his heart out, made me shed a tear. thinking about the hard reality that he is facing every second of every day.. i couldn’t do it.
and nothing can ever make up for the time lost with her, but i know he is happy he was able to spend 14 amazing years with her and it sounds like this family, and their community, will do everything they can to keep her memory alive.
thinking about losing my daughter at just the age of 2… i truly can’t even picture it.
i am a very mentally strong individual, and i don’t believe there is anything in this world that i can’t do or accomplish with the right motivation and dedication of time.. but with that being said.. if she was taken from me like this, i would break.. heads would roll, and bodies would hit the floor, along with my own. the hatred that would build up inside me would be unquenchable.. and i’m truly afraid to see what i would become..
i can feel the pain and hatred in every single word that comes out of this man’s mouth. it’s practically seething out of his every pore, you can feel the energy that is built up inside him that is just wanting to be released. like an eruption.
pray for this man and his family and their community. no one deserves this

My great grandmother once told me that the most painful loss you will ever know in life is your child dying before you do... After watching this father speak and hearing the pain, the anger, and the overwhelming sorrow in his voice, I definitely don't think she was wrong. Not in the slightest. I have a lot of sympathy for these families, and it definitely takes restraint to go into a court room with the individual who murdered your child and be civil, even though on the inside you have to be screaming. God, I can't even imagine. Their restraint and grace is truly admirable, cause I couldn't do it.
I feel for this dad, and all of the parents who lost children in this tragedy.
Watching this as a carry my newborn daughter around my house …I couldn’t imagine so heartbroken for the family

The fact that all these amazing lives are being lost at the hand of another person for no reason. The killer should've gotten the death penalty. He should've never gotten life in prison. He showed no mercy when he gunned down his victims. We should not be showing mercy to him now.
May he get through this with all the strength in the world. He’s a wonderful and loving father. She was truly lucky. I would do anything to have such a compassionate dad ❤️ sending prayers to this family
Instead of telling his sad pity story, it might be better to focus on the solution.
We live in an atheist society which is the root cause of these crazy school shooters.
If Nicholas Cruz would have been raised to believe in God and respect all life, then he would never have committed these acts.
Being angry isn't going to help anything.
He should be angry at our degraded culture and society.
People should be taught about karma.
Nicholas Cruz is a by-product of our atheistic culture.
Also, stop killing innocent animals as well.
