@@alexandrostheodorou8387 i don't care what would of happened tard. You're bashing the judge like this is a small claims court. Kicks rocks mouth breather.
Alyssa's dad was right - all this trial showed was that his pathetic life was worth more than the 17 lives he killed and the dozens he injured - I think those 1 or 2 jurists that let him go should have had to listen to this, hear the impact statements of the parents he brutally murdered, and they should have to explain why they did what they did letting him off with so much less than he deserves
Life in Prison with the other inmates knowing what he was convicted of is a whole lot worse than death. What people should be hoping for is his sentence is spent in Solitary Confinement the rest of his days. 23 hours a day without a single soul in contact with you. No writing utensils, paper nothing but a box to suffer under the weight of what he has done is a whole lot worse than death. Death is an escape in my opinion. Monsters like this man should live in agony and intense loneliness to sit and have to be constantly reminded of what he has done.
I'm so glad the father called his prison# out. Now the other prisoners will know who he is. And if he's ever let into the general population of the prison. He will not live long.
My heart broke when Alyssa's mom spoke about trying to cover the gunshot wounds her daughter succumbed to and how she tried to warm her body with her hands. If this doesn't scream MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFE idk wat does. OUR KIDS deserve to go to school and TO BE SAFE THERE!! They DESERVE to walk out of those school doors the same way they walked thru them each AND EVERY DAY! May that evil POS get what he DESERVES in prison! Someone there will make sure of that, best believe.
Not really we should pull our kids out of school because of incels shooting up the place plus they indoctorate kids into thinking changing genders is ok etc etc world is coming to an end

Out of the 40,000 Americans killed by guns in 2019 more than half were suicides, out of the homicides only 4% came from mass shootings, and out of all mass shootings only 10% happen at schools.

Someone will get him. For comparison, Dahmer didn’t even last 5 years inside. Being the one to end him will practically be a badge of honor in prison society.
its going to be really hard to get him in Florence supermax which is one of the toughest prisons. every prisoner is isolated and they are on a strict schedule. unlike Jeffery Dahmer, they can only work out by themselves. just to know how tough this prison is they keep high-profile murderers like Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, Ted Kaczynski, and many more. if he were to die in that prison it would most likely be one of the guards or some very suspicious curcumin stance or he does it himself.
I’m crying watching all of their statements. I can’t even imagine the pain, how they have the strength to go on after having their loved ones taking away in such a brutal and horrific way. I think praying is wonderful for those who believe, but I also think if people care they need to fight for change. There’s always something you can do to help. My hearts are with the families and the victims, I will pray and fight for change and I hope everyone who has been following this trial does the same as well💜
As a parent I can’t imagine hating him I guess ima real Christ loving being I mean at first yes I would probably hate him but I’m 100% in the end I would forgive and not hate and wish death and misery on him
@@ilsegonzalez811 3 Jurors refused giving the killer the Death Penalty. He got life with no parole. Which is what he wanted. His lawyer got in trouble for giving the finger and Lol.. The defense made it seem like he slipped through the cracks, with not getting help for his issues. That was a lie. He had more help for his mental illness then I ever heard. He had doctor's and therapy, help for his speech. Defense didn't mention any of that. He 47 sessions with his doctor, and therapist. He belongs on death row.
@@cgarza1260 that is one way of looking at it, however, if he gets the death penalty it can make other maniacs think twice before doing something like this.
These parents heartbreaking statements unfortunately fall on the mass murderers deaf ears. The very fact that they have the capacity to set up foundations to honor their children speaks to their character and the children they were raising. I pray that no one ever forgets the names of their children that were murdered.
@@smendonca9859 I normally don’t inquire whenever I see such (vague) comments such as the brief one-word responses you’ve made here, but……….. Are you OK??? I’m a great listener if you need to talk / vent to someone “anonymous.” 😌
I can’t listen to her without crying and feeling her pain. Not even the amount of pain she is experiencing. The pain I feel for her is not near the pain she has. God gives you strength Queen🤗!
Same. All of these statements were powerful but as a mother, this woman’s pain was unbearable to hear and feel. I cried for her, with her. Their daughter was absolutely beautiful. I pray they can find even a bit of some sort of healing.
Listening to these statements has me screaming inside, I can only imagine the constant pain and internal screaming these hurting parents feel. I’m so sorry for the loss and pain they’ve had to face 💔💔💔
I couldn't have expressed it better myself. God bless you both, Lori and Dr. Alhadeff. May your beloved Alyssa's memory continue to endure as an eternal blessing. 🕯️ ❤️
my half sister homeschooled her four children and so many of them are socially stunted it's crazy LOL. don't let these monsters deprive your child of a normal, happy, social upbringing.
As someone who's been to prison, I PROMISE the death penalty is better than life in prison. Even though it's hard to swallow, they should be happy he got life over the easy way out.
Dead means he no longer suffers...thinks...has to deal. No no noooo... life behind bars, till he dies. Let those prison folks serve him well, every,single,day.
THIS!!!!!!!!!!! It’s what I’ve said all along!!!!!!!!!!!! W/the DP, an inmate (eventually) KNOWS their DOD. W/LIFE (w/o parole), an inmate never knows if any particular / given day will be their last. I do hope & pray NC lasts maayyyybe (5-10) years behind bars before someone (fellow inmate) puts an end to that POS’s earthly existence-giving him just a few more years of misery of each passing day’s “unknown.”
I live in TN and I've had friends in FL prisons and they have said FL and Georgia are the worst it's basically Ike living in a 3rd world country ppl getting stabbed to death ect. Not even letting families kno what happened to loved ones under staffed like 200 inmates to 2 guards this kid is used to a jail not a prison and he was in pc now he may stay in pc for Lil while but give it 5 years he will be in population and in a maximum security prison this kid won't last a year
I'm not a parent but man these statements are truly heartbreaking tried to warm her body with my hands man that's just awful I hope these families get peace or something close to it
This trial has affected the judge mentally as well, I truly hope that everyone mentally affected is able to seek help/therapy of this trial. I can only imagine the images and videos all has had to see in this trial. Traumatizing.
I've sobbed through all of these victims speeches. I can't even imagine what they feel daily. I'm absolutely heart broken for them and the victims. This trial was so appalling and demeaning to these victims and their families. I just cant even comprehend how he gets protected and they get paraded like a joke. May they all Rot in hell. I know they wanted the death penalty for him and I agree but I can't help but think how that is the easy way out. I wish nothing but days of the worst suffering a human being can feel.
Your comment is SO right. These poor people have gone through enough!! It shouldnt be on them to have to do this because the people that CAN & SHOULD be making the changes toward right just arent. These families are so, so strong.
I dont know if it was intentional but it felt powerful and a great tribute to their daughter that her number for Soccer was 8 and the time from when they started their statements was 8 minutes. All these parents giving their statements are so brave and I hope one day they can find the peace that they deserve
Such strong messages coming from two strong individuals. They're in pain, and their love for their daughter was truly remarkable. Alyssa was unbelievably beautiful and talented. Although I've never seen Alyssa play soccer, I am sure her talent lives on. RIP
I have a daughter and I can't imagine the grief and pain all the families are going through. It's heartbreaking to see them speak and they are all so incredibly brave and strong, and so unselfish with working to try and stop this happening again
@@timothywait9457 Can't believe what a low life you are. You think people who cry are not brave??? If that happened to a child of yours I doubt you'd give a shit because you're so 'brave'
really?!! What a completely ignorant outrageous comment!! They are brave and strong and amazing people!! To be able to get up and speak while in the face of the vile pig who took the lives of their loved ones; is completely brave and stoic!!
This is so painful to watch, I can't stop my tears. My heart hurts for the victims and their families. I hope they find some peace after this sentencing🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😢😢
These parents are suffering so much but what they do not realize is that this Monster loves every minute of it. He will replay their suffering with DELIGHT when he is alone. He is a sociopath who relishes pain and suffering - it feeds him in every way. I am happy they are given this time to express themselves but for one such as this Monster it is his lifeblood.
He doesn't feel bad at all. Cruz was only disappointed it wasn't more fun for him to do it. He was hoping for more screaming. And it was too easy and he hoped to kill more peolle out the window but couldn't. Per his interview with detectives.
No matter what she didn’t deserve to die like that . She was beautiful and so talented . My heart broke hearing her parents speak . Rest in Paradise Alyssa.
My heart breaks for you and your family for the loss of your forever Angel 👼🏻 ❤😢 The strength you both have astounds me…. I’m so so so sorry for the loss of your baby girl … 😢😢😢❤️🙏🏻
This judge held her composure so well through all the victims’ pain… you can see the pain in her eyes but she had to keep cool so the scumbag defence can’t call a mistrial… what a compassionate and composed judge
As a mother who has lost 2 children, I cry and share these families pain. When you’re robbed of the very beings that you live for .. that you helped create and live and protect .. you heart and mind go savage. That thing will get his for destroying these families lives.
@user-en7nr7tp1z yo I was gonna say the same thing! Yeah, they act like it’s so beautiful but they know how disgusting they really are and yet they expect us to respect them ha ha ha
The pain is huge...I wish them all the strength to focus now on healing and to be able to celebrate their daughters love and life, as their daughter surely wants them to do.
This is absolutely unbelievable that these families suffer from that monster. I pray everyday that the world will rise up against these horrible shootings and keep our country safe. It is not right that this monster is able to go to prison and get away with what he did. As I watch these videos I feel like I’ve lost hope in our justice system because of this horrible tragedy with no justice. For any of the victims, parents, friends, and family’s I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong, and I pray that you all find peace.
Agreed. Some of these trolls that are appalled that he is being referred to as an "animal". Well, I love my animal the same as if she were a person and i'm sure majority of pet-owners would agree. Even big, wild animals don't kill just for the hell of it. They do it as a necessity. There are tons of evil ppl in this world, but i've never heard of an evil animal!! I actually feel bad for all the poor, innocent animals that this child killer is being compared to.
This was so heartbreaking to hear. I couldn't imagine the pain these parents are feeling. Her death affected much more than just her friends and family. It affected her would be-future husband, her would be- future children, her would be- future grandchildren and so on. When NC killed these kids, all their hopes and dreams were stolen from them.
The fact these families had to be reminded of this every day for 4 yrs!! Why did it take so long!? At least it's over and they can try and heal from this tragedy 🙏🙏
I don’t understand how people do things like this and put people in this kind of pain every one of this has got me bawling my eyes out my prayers are always with the familys
what the parents said they are correct. the schools need to be safe sometimes i don't even feel safe when i go to the schools to help at disabilities programs.
@Judith Gerard He was mentally ill from childhood, diagnosed with autism and because everyone ignored it, making fun of him for being different he grew into a mass murderer. If you want to FIX the problem, his murder isn’t the answer, it is finding how health care professionals, schools, parents, and others can do something before it reaches this level. I was a victim of bullying for a long time and today I suffer from severe depression and anxiety which are treated with medication that I have to take every day.
@Judith Gerard I agree I also feel for the families as well to. a few years ago back in 2008 I learn that one of my friends who wanted to understand about autism passed away by a falling tree in New Mexico he and 2 others was camping and they saw a loose log on the tree and was trying to take it down but it also got tangle with another tree and then a few mins later the tree trunk fell ontop of my friend and he was killed and it was hard for me and his family and I still miss him.
@Judith Gerard thanks. are you farmiler with autism? im also Autistic and i help at autism events. what got you into being a biology and chemistry teacher?
Alyssa's mother's outfit is so cute. I love the pearls with that dress. Every one of the families has shown so much class and dignity in the courtroom. They deserve nothing but the best💜
Did you see the look he gave when Alyssas mom talked? It was a sneer - almost a humorous look. I wish those parents could each have 1 minute alone with him to do what they want...to do what he deserves...
nikkipennington if those parents did not lose there Children i suspect if they watched a you tube of parents that did it would not affect them i can see inter deeper truths
He doesn't want mercy, he doesn't feel pain with these words. There is only one thing that will make him feel the pain and regret, seeing and feeling the value of life. Only then will justice be served. I do not know if that will happen.
I am a former gun collector and an EMT & a PARAMEDIC . There is NO REASON for anyone to possess an Automatic Weapon that was used in this mass murder!! It hurts when I have to see these things OCCUR!!! I took an oath to SAVE lives!!! How could I save a life when the victims are Bludgeoned beyond REASONING!!!! IT breaks my HEART to see and hear about such things as this!!! May the holy father give comfort & strength to the families of these victims to carry on with their lives
Just watched a guy that ran over 60 something people-with his SUV-6 died. Another trial of a family that took out 8 people in another family-with knives. I understand your sentiments-however, I don’t agree with them. I am sane, and when I was assaulted last November- and my family and I are licensed to carry-and we did not discharge our pistols. The guy was on drugs, drunk big time, and came at me with a huge machete. He hurt my wrist, popped 3 ribs off their cartilage, “costochondritis” and I was happy he got carted off to jail on a felony assault with a deadly weapon..I was not allowed to be in any of his hearings, (6th Amendment violation,) where they offered him a plea at his first trial-to plead guilty to Aggravated Assault-(a non-felony) and of course he took it. He had to go to anger management for 6 months, and AA. He didn’t even need to prove he went. Just on his own basis. I could not even read my witness Impact statement-which is guaranteed to me as a right in the Constitution in the US. I had to write it out, send it to his probation officer-and I do not believe she even read it! So, where’s the punishment? Seems like they always blame the legal gun owners. I believe I was rational, my family member with me was level headed, rational, and law enforcement reminded me of our Castle Doctrine that definitely applied to this situation-as I was in my vehicle in gear- and advised that I should have defended myself with my weapon. Literally asked me why I chose not to? I did get injured, and he was coming at me for round 2 of his attack-but my back passenger hollered out and gave him instruction to back away from my vehicle! He didn’t know anyone was in there besides me-it was at midnight and in the dark. I will also say-I’m a 59 year old female, with a severe back injury. He was 45 when he attacked me. Our collection is all trigger locked, in our safe. This Cruz kid is evil-psychopath. He wanted to kill. He would have probably figured a way to blow up the school. Evil demon.
A mom’s love for her child is indescribable!!! The most honest and truthful statement! I can literally die for my kids! God please protect them for me.
One can only hope and pray that the inmates will show the monster NO MERCY… that they will use him day and night… that he will pray for death… that death will not come… just pain..misery… and a body wracked with pain. Though I believe Old Sparky should have been your sentence, I am rethinking that keeping you alive and in absolute pain would be more appropriate.
NK statement to the victims how he thought they want him to “to pull through because I know that’s what you want me to do” how he thought they would love and hug him would be almost comic if it was not under these circumstances. I mean 8 times shooting this beautiful girl who loved soccer over 8 times is reprehensible and just disgusting
This is so heartbreaking I can't imagine how hard it is for them to keep their composure I pray for all the families of every child that has had to go thru such pain because of gun violence and such evil soul this is exactly why I never understood how some parents cant wait for school to start and to send of their babies off I am truly scared to do so with all these mass murders
All of these parents show absolute strength and control. I couldn't do it. I would've completely DESTROYED that p.o.s. and not thought twice and would have zero remorse. I hope the other prisoners deal with that pile of trash, in the worst, most painful way possible.
The pain on this wonderful judge’s face at the end shows how much this hurts her too.Thank you judge

Someone will get him. For comparison, Dahmer didn’t even last 5 years inside. Being the one to end him will practically be a badge of honor in prison society.
That’s my exact thought. I think it will be soon too.
I'm so hoping to hear that it's happened.
And I hope it happens very soon, and that sick smirk gets wiped off that monster's face forever.
its going to be really hard to get him in Florence supermax which is one of the toughest prisons. every prisoner is isolated and they are on a strict schedule. unlike Jeffery Dahmer, they can only work out by themselves. just to know how tough this prison is they keep high-profile murderers like Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, Ted Kaczynski, and many more. if he were to die in that prison it would most likely be one of the guards or some very suspicious curcumin stance or he does it himself.
The judge did make sure he will NEVER be released from prison. She imposed all 30 sentences consecutively. He will remain in prison until his death.

I’m crying watching all of their statements. I can’t even imagine the pain, how they have the strength to go on after having their loved ones taking away in such a brutal and horrific way. I think praying is wonderful for those who believe, but I also think if people care they need to fight for change. There’s always something you can do to help. My hearts are with the families and the victims, I will pray and fight for change and I hope everyone who has been following this trial does the same as well💜
I have been watching these final statements from the families every day. As a parent, my heart is shattered

As a parent I can’t imagine hating him I guess ima real Christ loving being I mean at first yes I would probably hate him but I’m 100% in the end I would forgive and not hate and wish death and misery on him
I'm not even a parent but this so shattered

Why is it that mass shootings don’t count as terrorism? Terrorists are punished to the full extent of the law.
They are. It's not only mass shootings but, mass killings
I have no idea it sure is terrorism to everyone affected.
I agree !!!
no literally?? at the very least domestic terrorism
Due to the lack of religious motive. But they need to face harsher penalities, agree.

@@ilsegonzalez811 3 Jurors refused giving the killer the Death Penalty. He got life with no parole. Which is what he wanted. His lawyer got in trouble for giving the finger and Lol.. The defense made it seem like he slipped through the cracks, with not getting help for his issues. That was a lie. He had more help for his mental illness then I ever heard. He had doctor's and therapy, help for his speech. Defense didn't mention any of that. He 47 sessions with his doctor, and therapist. He belongs on death row.
@@_tomiichi why give him the easy way out with death?
@@cgarza1260 that is one way of looking at it, however, if he gets the death penalty it can make other maniacs think twice before doing something like this.
These parents heartbreaking statements unfortunately fall on the mass murderers deaf ears. The very fact that they have the capacity to set up foundations to honor their children speaks to their character and the children they were raising. I pray that no one ever forgets the names of their children that were murdered.
Beautifully said!

my half sister homeschooled her four children and so many of them are socially stunted it's crazy LOL. don't let these monsters deprive your child of a normal, happy, social upbringing.
As a mother of a daughter, this completely destroyed me.
You can hear the pain in the mother’s voice. And the frustration/pain in the father’s voice & the judge she’s trying to fight back tears😢
As someone who's been to prison, I PROMISE the death penalty is better than life in prison. Even though it's hard to swallow, they should be happy he got life over the easy way out.
Especially in Florida. A lot of the prisons do not have A/C.
Dead means he no longer suffers...thinks...has to deal.
No no noooo... life behind bars, till he dies.
Let those prison folks serve him well, every,single,day.
THIS!!!!!!!!!!! It’s what I’ve said all along!!!!!!!!!!!! W/the DP, an inmate (eventually) KNOWS their DOD.
W/LIFE (w/o parole), an inmate never knows if any particular / given day will be their last.
I do hope & pray NC lasts maayyyybe (5-10) years behind bars before someone (fellow inmate) puts an end to that POS’s earthly existence-giving him just a few more years of misery of each passing day’s “unknown.”
I live in TN and I've had friends in FL prisons and they have said FL and Georgia are the worst it's basically Ike living in a 3rd world country ppl getting stabbed to death ect.

Wow, I felt these parent's words.
As a mom of two teen girls, my heart hurts so much and my prayers are with the victims’ parents
These parents are suffering so much but what they do not realize is that this Monster loves every minute of it. He will replay their suffering with DELIGHT when he is alone. He is a sociopath who relishes pain and suffering - it feeds him in every way. I am happy they are given this time to express themselves but for one such as this Monster it is his lifeblood.
He is a psychopath, even worse.
He doesn't feel bad at all. Cruz was only disappointed it wasn't more fun for him to do it. He was hoping for more screaming. And it was too easy and he hoped to kill more peolle out the window but couldn't. Per his interview with detectives.
So heartbreaking hearing Alyssa's mother. 💔

Mm-tv3jr i bet she has a brandy and coke when she gets home and her husband cooks the dinner

He shot her 8 times OMG!!😱
Yes because he came back to the classroom 2 times
I know. Its unreal. Like since he couldn't find more people to shoot, go back and shoot them again.
That's sadistic
It probably makes the killer happy to know how much pain he has caused these parents.
Why do people refer to him as an, "animal"? Are "animals" wicked and evil? NO, refer to him as an EVIL MONSTER, not a helpless animal.
Amen 🙏 not even are so called ,man eating animals would ever do ,what this f""***king monster did
Agreed. Some of these trolls that are appalled that he is being referred to as an "animal". Well, I love my animal the same as if she were a person and i'm sure majority of pet-owners would agree. Even big, wild animals don't kill just for the hell of it. They do it as a necessity. There are tons of evil ppl in this world, but i've never heard of an evil animal!! I actually feel bad for all the poor, innocent animals that this child killer is being compared to.
This was so heartbreaking to hear. I couldn't imagine the pain these parents are feeling. Her death affected much more than just her friends and family. It affected her would be-future husband, her would be- future children, her would be- future grandchildren and so on. When NC killed these kids, all their hopes and dreams were stolen from them.
The fact these families had to be reminded of this every day for 4 yrs!! Why did it take so long!? At least it's over and they can try and heal from this tragedy 🙏🙏
I don’t understand how people do things like this and put people in this kind of pain every one of this has got me bawling my eyes out my prayers are always with the familys

what the parents said they are correct. the schools need to be safe sometimes i don't even feel safe when i go to the schools to help at disabilities programs.
@Judith Gerard Im not sure but i do know that the monster i hope he gets what he deserve
@Judith Gerard the school, the county, the town.. it’s more than one entities fault
@Judith Gerard He was mentally ill from childhood, diagnosed with autism and because everyone ignored it, making fun of him for being different he grew into a mass murderer. If you want to FIX the problem, his murder isn’t the answer, it is finding how health care professionals, schools, parents, and others can do something before it reaches this level. I was a victim of bullying for a long time and today I suffer from severe depression and anxiety which are treated with medication that I have to take every day.
@Judith Gerard I agree I also feel for the families as well to. a few years ago back in 2008 I learn that one of my friends who wanted to understand about autism passed away by a falling tree in New Mexico he and 2 others was camping and they saw a loose log on the tree and was trying to take it down but it also got tangle with another tree and then a few mins later the tree trunk fell ontop of my friend and he was killed and it was hard for me and his family and I still miss him.

Just watched a guy that ran over 60 something people-with his SUV-6 died. Another trial of a family that took out 8 people in another family-with knives. I understand your sentiments-however, I don’t agree with them. I am sane, and when I was assaulted last November- and my family and I are licensed to carry-and we did not discharge our pistols. The guy was on drugs, drunk big time, and came at me with a huge machete. He hurt my wrist, popped 3 ribs off their cartilage, “costochondritis” and I was happy he got carted off to jail on a felony assault with a deadly weapon..I was not allowed to be in any of his hearings, (6th Amendment violation,) where they offered him a plea at his first trial-to plead guilty to Aggravated Assault-(a non-felony) and of course he took it. He had to go to anger management for 6 months, and AA. He didn’t even need to prove he went. Just on his own basis. I could not even read my witness Impact statement-which is guaranteed to me as a right in the Constitution in the US. I had to write it out, send it to his probation officer-and I do not believe she even read it! So, where’s the punishment? Seems like they always blame the legal gun owners. I believe I was rational, my family member with me was level headed, rational, and law enforcement reminded me of our Castle Doctrine that definitely applied to this situation-as I was in my vehicle in gear- and advised that I should have defended myself with my weapon. Literally asked me why I chose not to? I did get injured, and he was coming at me for round 2 of his attack-but my back passenger hollered out and gave him instruction to back away from my vehicle! He didn’t know anyone was in there besides me-it was at midnight and in the dark. I will also say-I’m a 59 year old female, with a severe back injury. He was 45 when he attacked me. Our collection is all trigger locked, in our safe. This Cruz kid is evil-psychopath. He wanted to kill. He would have probably figured a way to blow up the school. Evil demon.
This judge is so heartbroken while listening victimized families my big respect to her and my prayers for all these families 🙏
He killed 17 people. I don’t think words will hurt his feelings.
A mom’s love for her child is indescribable!!! The most honest and truthful statement! I can literally die for my kids! God please protect them for me.
One can only hope and pray that the inmates will show the monster NO MERCY… that they will use him day and night… that he will pray for death… that death will not come… just pain..misery… and a body wracked with pain. Though I believe Old Sparky should have been your sentence, I am rethinking that keeping you alive and in absolute pain would be more appropriate.

NK statement to the victims how he thought they want him to “to pull through because I know that’s what you want me to do” how he thought they would love and hug him would be almost comic if it was not under these circumstances.

This is so heartbreaking I can't imagine how hard it is for them to keep their composure I pray for all the families of every child that has had to go thru such pain because of gun violence and such evil soul this is exactly why I never understood how some parents cant wait for school to start and to send of their babies off I am truly scared to do so with all these mass murders
I worked at the Walmart that was next to the school. I still remember all the sirens that just kept coming. 😢
He truly doesn’t even care. This is definitely more about being a step toward healing because nothing impacts this murderer. He is pure evil!
All of these parents show absolute strength and control. I couldn't do it. I would've completely DESTROYED that p.o.s. and not thought twice and would have zero remorse.
