Parkland school shooter’s swastika carvings are focus of court fight
2022-07-07
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors say Nikolas Cruz’s Nazi symbols, racist posts, cruelty to animals show he’s not mentally ill, was not impaired when he killed 17 people in Florida in 2018.

Prosecutors and attorneys for Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz
...pre-attack diagnoses of autism, anxiety, depression and significant psychological problems, described as a troubled kid obsessed with guns — the police came to the family home frequently to deal with him. Mr. Cruz was adopted at birth, then his adoptive father died when he was young, followed into the grave by his adoptive mother a few months before he ran amok. So really he was a classic school shooter. Interestingly, his biological sister Danielle Woodard, a decade older, also has a long rap sheet and is classified as a habitual violent offender...
battled Wednesday over whether jurors at his upcoming penalty trial should learn about the swastikas carved on his gun’s magazine, his racist, homophobic and threatening online posts, his computer searches for child pornography and his cruelty to animals.

#3  ...When I was a mere lad, in the Jurassic '60s, I remember a lot of - shall we say - rebellious - young men thought it was cool to draw or carve swastikas in things to show how tough and edgy they were.

Many were never caught, but those that were usually ended facing a teacher or principal who had seen up close what the swastika stood for, and received guidance. And then they were marched up to their parents, many of whom had boots on the ground in the ETO...and from who more guidance was given.

And did not do it again. I wish this young man had had just one man like that in his life; maybe things would have been different.

He's still alive?
What type of Prison System are they running in FLA.?

Hell, even in isolation, he could have hung himself.
