Florida school shooting suspect said he heard 'demons'

The suspect in last year's Florida high school massacre told officers moments after his capture he was hearing demons, a statement that could be used if his attorneys mount an insanity defense... In the body camera video released Friday, the unidentified Coral Springs officer wearing it asks the then 19-year-old suspect casually, "What's going on today, bro?" Cruz replies, "Demons, man." "Demons?" the officer asks, playing with a piece of string in his hands. "Voices," Cruz replies.

The kid needed to be locked up in an institution years ago.

Obvious try for an insanity defense.

Yeah, whatever. Just think of upcoming defense lawyer billing hours.

Just because you hear voices doesn’t mean you have to listen to them.

But that would violate the principle of “harm reduction,” not to mention cut federal funds to the school!/sarc

I told that kid a thousand times to stop watching CNN, and now look what happens...

No, that would be hearsay... second hand voices.

But I do what she asks, often, without asking too hard why she wants it done. Luv.

Those demon voices were no other than the deep state FBI.

DARPA has a device that sends voices that only you can hear.

Sound crazy?

An FBI agent urged the Draw Mohammed shooter to “tear up Texas” and then drove him to the location. Tucker Carlson had a show about it.

My brother in law hears voices from the FBI all the time. When it gets out of hand, the police take him into the hospital where he gets to stay for a week or two.

Yup. Unfortunately, the combination of cost-paring and the Left’s de-institutionalization policy make residential bed space in psychiatric institutions limited and harder than ever to access except as a result of a criminal sanction. In effect, dangerous nutcases rarely get locked up as a way to protect the public unless they have first committed a major crime.

Go ahead and laugh. Everyone laughed about FBI spying on Trump and Jussie Smollet faking his own attack, and Planned Parenthood selling body parts, Fast and Furious, and Benghazi NOT being about a YouTube video.

Behind every evil act, stands a government liberal.

I didn’t hear demons but I heard the sound of crickets every time that punk Nikolai Cruz was reported to the useless FBI......F..king Bunch of Idiots.

They have blood on their hands.

This punk had more red flags than a Mayday parade in the former Soviet Union.

Yeah. Demons. Like a psychotic person would casually announce this after shooting up a school. Kid thinks he’s smart enough to get NGRI. The funny thing is, if he does, he won’t like it much.
