I guarantee you if cruz was treated like anders bearing brievik and rehabilited and shown love he might be of use to our society.

He should be executed, pure and simple.
And I state this on evolutionary grounds, not emotional.
He is defective.
His continued existence:
1. Provides for the possibility, however remote, of spreading his defective genes into the gene pool.
2. Provides for the possibility of his defective mind spreading defective evil thoughts to others who may become free.
3. He consumes resources that are better spent on keeping non-defective humans alive. Wouldn't our tax dollars be better spent providing meals to indigent school children than providing meals for the defective killer of school children?
4. His brain, once separated from his body, can be studied by medical scientists and perhaps provide insight as to how defectives like him can exist and so we can predict them.
5. He should be executed on live television to send a message what happens to you when you commit a heinous crime against innocent victims.
Show him mercy?
That's what God is for.
Let Him decide whether or not to do that.
We should stop wasting everyone's time and send this killer to God ASAP.
Rehabilitation?
I won't say that's horseshit, but, the bottom line is that you can't rehabilitate his genes and his genes enabled him to become a mass killer of innocent children.
Those genes and the defective mind they gave rise to need to be permanently removed from the gene pool ASAP.
Hate to break it to you, but people like this very rarely succeed in rehabilitation efforts. Norway and Sweden have their methods and should shut the fuck up about how it is handled in other countries.
Bottom line, this kid knowingly committed a crime of mass murder and could have been stopped had the FBI done their job when tipped off about him to begin with. Why rehabilitate a kid who snuffed the life of 17 others and give him a second chance? Let him rot.
I don't blame the parents that lost kids to this guy wanting the worst to happen to him. Keeping him alive at the American taxpayers dollar is a slap in the face to them specifically. He gets to live a full life in prison while their kids can't get theirs back and live theirs? No.
I don't know... Even though he killed all those people, the death penalty is murder. I cannot support murder being committed by the state, and was relieved to find out he's getting life in prison because an eye for an eye makes the world go blind
Norwegian here! Our prisons are not only for rehabilitation. It’s the goal, but not a goal all prisoners reach. Breivik will never be let out.

Why would any sane person ever suggest releasing this person and allowing them to move about freely? He knew he was doing something horribly, horribly wrong and that didn't matter. You can't rehabilitate a lack of conscience.
Then how is it working in Norway and sweden?
Why does that matter? Why would you unquestioningly assume that what works in Sweden would work in the US? We live in a different culture.
It blows my mind that while there are people out there that consider abortion murder there are people like you that want to help a mass murderer.
You really want to hold his hand and be a shoulder to cry on?
That's 17 people who never got to live their lives, that's 17-32 parents who's life's will never be the same again, potentially 32-64 heartbroken grandparents, who knows how many traumatized siblings and friends of the victims.
You're fucked up for thinking we need to help him
Oh yeah, looked him up cause I don't keep track of psycho trash, kid my ass he was 19.
You can't rehabilitate murder victims back to life so you can't rehabilitate the murderer either.
If you're OK with strangers killing your family that's fine I can't stop you but if someone had shot my brother at school and I got my hands on him... it would be a wrap. I geuss you don't care about your family.
He killed 17 people and so will spend the rest of his life in prison or the death penalty.
That being said I do not believe in any form of torture. Many Ameicans seem to be obssed with vengeance in general but I think this traces it's roots back to evangelical Christianity and the American worship of violence. Some people believe in torture medeveil style but that is not my cup if tea no matter how bad the crime is.
Being locked in a cage is bad enough. I also think it bears some thinking as to why is it that we produce so may mass shooters in the first place.
My 2 cents.
I don't know. Americans seem to be the most hateful people on the planet. I blame Fox News.
I mean if he murdered your kid I would understand it. Otherwise what's your gripe?
That said, regarding your details, I've seen no indication that Cruz could ever be rehabilitated, or that he could ever be released without being a danger to society. The lynchpin of his defence was that he was affected by prenatal alcoholic syndrome, which means his brain is permanently fucked. That's probably the only reason he didn't get the death sentence.
What are you talking about? You have to understand people CHOOSE to be killers. Stop making excuses. Maybe he will repent of his sins in prison. I don’t know.
You can’t force someone to change. They have to want it. It wouldn’t have mattered. He had LOTS of mental help. There are shooters who have come from loving homes.
This is such a insult to people who have had rough lives and never went out and killed anyone.
I think rehabilitation should be something that is available but not garuenteed. This guy, it might be worth a shot to rehabilitate. He's obviously sick.
I feel like in this case he'd spend a year or two in prison and then go to a center to be evaluated on his chances for getting better
Naw, it’s not blood thirsty, if you end up in there you deserve to get your ass took, that’s the rules, you fuck up like that you don’t get hell you get it here
and so what If someone rape him with a broom they’d probably kill him to, let another murderer do it
he’s still a human? So? So? Wtf? He fucked up, if you end up in there you deserve to get your ass took
What is gay rape supposed to do?
The truth is that the families should be the ones weighing in on his punishment. I have no need to see him needlessly suffer. But I didn't have a daughter or son, get blown away by this murderer.
I can't speak to the grief a parent feels looking down at the body of their child after being shot with an AR-15.
I don’t even think that is even a remote possibility. Talk to the creator of the question. She thinks Americans are bloodthirsty. We have a system of laws. We are not like other societies that do not have due process.
Such a prisoner would be held in solitary confinement or otherwise protected. But it seems to me unless there are some mitigating factors, this is one of the rare cases where capital punishment is justified. Rehabilitation works with some criminals, but this is not one of them.
The country puts black people who are in jail through hell. Everyone sees black people as criminals or thugs, and they deserve it. But when you talk about Nik Cruz, everyone says, "poor baby, he is mentally ill" no, he's a criminal, like how you treat everyone else. Just because he is famous doesn't mean shit, and he has white privileges doesn't mean shit.
How is getting gay rapes white privilege?
That has been happening to black people for decades. Welcome to the club. Look up Isaac Wright JR. Imagine going through what he went through. And the central park 5.
https://youtu.be/ixzqd2DXHSo
The only difference is people actually care Nik Cruz
Who gives a fuck if black people went through it, gay rape shouldn't be a thing for anywhere even prisons period. There's people falsely imprisoned for a crime they didn't do and still got raped and tortured by other inmates.
The way prisons are done outside of Scandinavia are worse than even roman or medieval era dungeons.
There's evidence that restorative justice, as practiced in Norway, has effectively reduced the retreat offensive by former convicts at less than 20% while the us repeat offenders are at over 75%.
You're a bleeding heart fucking idiot. He showed no mercy, he deserves no mercy. People like Cruz and Brievik can't be rehabilitated. You let them out and they will most likely kill again. They are psychopaths that killed a shitload of people, not some kid that just kicked his neighbor's dog. The right thing to do is kill them so they can't kill again. It's like shooting a dog with rabies, it has to be done. Wake up, dipshit. A merciless killer is not your friend.
Human beings have inherent natural/ inalienable rights. First among these is the right to life. If you purposefully violate someone else's natural rights you forfeit yours. To the gallows or firing squad is where he should go, cruel and unusual punishment is un American, unconstitutional, and just plain wrong.
Most people are dumb. They actually believe in “evil”. Ell oh ell! When you’re that dumb, you can’t help but say dumb things and post them online. Ignorance also breeds fear. So they’re afraid. Way more afraid than they should be.
Some people don’t deserve redemption, some people are beyond rehabilitation and just need to be removed from society.
The cheaper and simpler solution would be one between the eyes on the spot, but this is a fair alternative
You cannot save everyone and some people in this world are a big threat and needs to be eliminated.
The extreme rights believe the death penalty is a deterrent to crime… but it isn’t lol. I think America should use some European ideas (Norway, Denmark etc) on the criminal justice system and housing and medical care…
People don’t believe in redemption
they don’t have the strength to forgive
his suffering will not bring his victims back
they’re GONE AND NEVER COMING BACK! Let it go. This violence is so senseless
Holy shit that guy looks a lot like someone I know. Not totally, but a lot. I don't like that.
Murderers should be put to death, espessially murders of children that weren't acting on self defense.
Shit, Nicolás Cruz turned ugly when he turned 23, 🤦♀️now I'm afraid of getting older.
I have no idea who he is but, like they say, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime!!
Anyone who harms children needs a tall tree and a short rope.
Once you’ve murdered children there is no room for rehabilitation, ever.
Nope. He lost his chance to participate in the same society as me. He gets what he deserves.
So if he killed your kids you would have that same opinion? Get the fuck outta here
Because we don't coddle people. Fuck him.
He's a human being to
What is subjecting the scrawny young man to being raped by homosexual rapists and passed around going to do to make the victims families lives better? I know he killed little kids but I'm failing to see what gay raping him or roughing him up is going to do.
That's your problem then. Setting him free eventually doesn't do them any good, killing him doesn't do any good and keeping him in prison does them no good. And no, many people cannot be rehabilitated, and you're genuinely naive if you think they can.
But hey as I said, your lack of understanding is entirely your own issue. Think what you want.
Then how come it works in Scandinavia where their prisons are like hotel rooms with kitchens and no gay raping?
You have to be trolling... lol
Wow
Defending a criminal?
This country has the worst punitive system in the entire western world, I wish we had a system like what norway has.
there is no rehabilitating that psycho fuck
Hang him from the highest tree.
Oh look future serial killer.
Idiot
Yes florida is full of idiot people who want to see a young man gay raped and killed
You’re mentally ill.
