He preened with guns and knives on social media, (click here) bragged about shooting rats with his BB gun and got kicked out of school — in part because he had brought bullets in his backpack, according to one classmate. He was later expelled for still-undisclosed disciplinary reasons.
The portrait of Nikolas Cruz, suspected of fatally shooting 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and wounding 15 others at his former school, is a troubled teen with few friends and an obsessive interest in weapons. Administrators considered him enough of a potential threat that one teacher said a warning was emailed last year against allowing him on the campus with a backpack...
There seems to be an identity issue among these high school killers. The Columbine murderers were member of "The Black Trenchcoat Mafia." Dylan Roof was an avowed White Supremacist and evidently so is Nicholas Cruz. I suppose the young men need to find their masculinity and motivation somewhere, they are unable to justify it themselves.
That seems to be the difference between mass murderers that hunt down innocent people to maim and kill and these murdering idiots.
In realizing that there is a very strong case to remove symbols of hate and antisemitism from the American landscape.
To critic the media at this time is to remind the country that this is the 18th school shooting in the USA according to Bloomberg's political group that reports this mess on a regular basis. I think it was the Washington Post that criticized the Bloomberg Group that three of their accountings occurred either by a single suicide whereby the man was on an abandoned school property and/or other parameters that made the entries more truthiness and not fact. The Washington Post is very set on revealing the truth of any media reporting and that is very important, however, do a few listings mean the accounting in total should be considered in error? I don't think so.
I don't consider any of the reporting, extraneous or not, within the Bloomberg group unimportant. There are dead people, primarily Americans, they occurred in affiliation with an education property and it should be scrutinized. Absolutely. Child murderers could be rehearsing for an actual attack.
The Huffington Post is stating Cruz ties to White Supremacist was loose and nearly unimportant. Really? I don't think so.
White Supremacists are self-avowed and with that comes the understanding if they say they then they are.
I might point to an interest paradigm related to the Roof murders and those in Florida. Both young men were very casual about their plans. Roof was so cold blooded he sat among his victims inside a church for bible study. After he killed nine people, he simply went about his business and was only apprehended when a woman saw him walking down her street.
The very same cold-blooded paradigm occurred in Florida, only this time it was the murderer of children called the police to brag about it and left the scene without a scratch.
It is my opinion, Roof and Cruz were coached. I don't care if they ever attended a Clan meeting, they were coached. They were brought along, even if just the internet, and then turned loose when the time was right for them. I strongly believe Cruz is a mimic of Roof. I also believe men that align any aspect of their identity to White Supremacy are a danger within this country and this goes back decades, SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM already. If a person is affiliated with an extremist group that is known to be dangerous, receives coaching to murder in any way possible then the White Supremacists are a definite danger to the people of the USA and need to be handled to remove any potential to weapons. The Second Amendment of the USA Constitution does not allow for mass murderers, especially of children, to roam free in the name of the First Amendment.
I disagree strongly that Cruz was mentally ill. If Donald Trump wants to say White Supremacists in general are mentally ill, then keep the guns out of their hands.
I might add, it was the Russians that were the first to arm their soldiers with automatic weapons. The Kalashnikov rifle. That rifle is now a menace to the entire world in the many versions that exist today. It is time the Small Arms Treaty mean something.
