This promise in May of 2017 to copycat the 1966 Tower shooter, and the “I want to be a professional school shooter’ post dated September of 2017- in combination, will kill any chance he had of pleading an insanity defense in the state of Florida.
Alleged Shooter Nikolas Cruz Threatened Mass Campus Shooting 9 Months Ago
The man accused of slaughtering 17 students in Florida apparently had his sights set on a mass campus shooting 9 months ago, and made that clear in a YouTube comment.
Nikolas Cruz posted on a video months ago, saying he was going to mimic the first mass school shooting in America. Charles Whitman shocked the nation in 1966 when he killed 17 people while perched on the University of Texas bell tower and began unloading rounds from his rifle. It was the first mass shooting of its kind in American history.
Cruz, who allegedly also killed 17, posted this eerie comment ... “I am going to [do] what he did.” The comment was dated 9 months ago.
He went on to write, “f*** antifa wish to kill as many as I can.” This second comment was posted 6 months ago, which suggests these were not passing thoughts. He returned to the same video to reiterate these hateful thoughts. He added, “I am going to kill them in the future.”

Whitman used a bolt action hunting rifle with a 3 round capacity. It has a scope on it.
His rampage was stopped when ordinary citizens started shooting back pinning him down long enough for a police officer to kill him.

It’s now apparent that he made three separate posted online threats to be a school shooter / mass murderer: May, Aug, & Sept 2017. All three threats precede his mother’s untimely death.
