To [Nikolas] Cruz, the campus’ sun-splashed courtyards were a dark place where he was mocked and ridiculed for his odd behavior, according to interviews with close family friends, students and recently released police and mental health reports.
“Someone could have approached a faculty member, a guidance counselor, a teacher and said, ‘This kid gets bullied a lot, someone should do something,’ ” said student Manolo Alvarez, 17, who had history class with Cruz. “I regret definitely not saying anything.”

These monsters are the ones who created this monster.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE - TOTAL FAILURE. The kids knoew it, the teachers knew it, the administrators know it, the police knew it, the fbi knew it, the social workers knew it - This is one BIG VILLAGE and the village people all failed this kid and kicked the can down the road to a school shooting. Next time I hear "It takes a Village to raise a child" I'll respond that it takes a village to destroy a child.
I wonder how right you may be.
Yeah...gotta love it. These soft little nothings think they’re going to take my guns away because they spent years tormenting a kid until he couldn’t take it any longer.
Melt, snowflakes. Just let go. It’s for the best. You’ll be able to see your first doggo again.
Cruz seemed to have a number of friends, including two in families who took him in to live with them. He doesn’t sound like a loner who no one would talk to and who had no friends.
Schools have been focused on “the bully problem” for many decades. And they have made no progress. Schools punish the victims probably more often than the victimizer. Schools contribute to the problem in material ways. Schools emphasize the power of the strong over the weak. It’s an inherently toxic environment.
But, by all means, let’s just void the Second Amendment.
Hint: The Bully problem largely goes away if the right to self-defense is recognized. Oddly enough, the gun-grabbers don’t get this.
Worth repeating .... Democrats and commies all are ignoring the stark fact that local police, the school administration and FBI ignored all warnings about the shooter for the single fact that his name is CRUZ, a Hispanic surname. These leftist cities, states, school system and their ‘sanctuary’ mentality and PC awareness for supposed minority defense got these 17 kids killed, plain and simple.
Some of that is human nature. If you are easily provoked you’re going to get teased, just to provide entertainment to the teasers. If you are ‘volatile’ and always one word away from a screaming meltdown, well guess what? People will tend to stay away from you. They don’t wish to be a target of your latest frenzy. This student should have been kept in that Alternate School he had been attending.
The these Nazi youth created a monster, it turned on them, and now they want to blame everyone but themselves.
“These monsters are the ones who created this monster.”
Yes. And the ones crying the loudest about guns and gun laws are the ones who glorify and make millions off violent movies.
We were told to shut up and change the channel if we didn’t like nudity, pornography, or violence.
We were told to shut up and “just don’t buy violent video games”.
Now the ones who create the pornography and exploit nudity are crying #metoo and the ones who exploit violence are calling for gun control.
Guess they should have listened to us. They didn’t, and they need to keep their grubby, filty, blood ridden hands off our guns.
And that makes killing kids OK?
Of course he was. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.
How does one come to hate an entire school full of people so much that he sets out to murder them all?
Because they hate him.
Kids are cruel. Turns our Nikolas was the cruelest.
I don't think kids engaging this kid, and trying to make him feels accepted, was going to prevent the voices in his head from urging him to kill. Sometimes people are just plain evil and it has nothing to do with society or mental illness.
The first woman that took him in after his Foster mother died was after his inheritance. He said that and I believe it because that is what she is trying to do now.
Just because he had a friend, some friends, doesn’t mean he wasn’t tormented.
I guarantee you he was.
One doesn’t set out to murder a school just ‘cuz.
This is the result of a slow building rage that boiled over.
“””The kids who are blaming guns are the kids who ostracized, bullied, mocked, and ridiculed Nikolas Cruz.”””
It will be very difficult for the self-centered brats who are wailing about gun control to realize they were major players causing Cruz to snap.
“Root cause” is not a subject taught today. 15 second soundbites are far more cool.
No, it doesn’t.
He’s a murderer.
But if you wonder how did it come to this...
Where did MM say killing kids was okay? I must have missed that.
That’s true.
And the only way to stop a bully is to stand up to them.
Might have to use your knuckles.
A gun, however, is ill advised. Too far.
The media is changing the story line to make the shooter the victim.
Earlier reports portray him as the monster he is and how liberal Broward county did nothing to stop him.
Countless assaults. Shooting neighbors pets and livestock.
