Nikolas Cruz indicted on 17 counts of murder, jail records reveal odd behavior in days after Florida massacre [full title]

Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz, whose jail records show was unapologetic and behaved oddly in the days following the massacre, was formally charged Wednesday with 17 counts each of premeditated murder and attempted murder.

The Broward County grand jury announced on Wednesday the 34-count indictment for Cruz, who allegedly opened fire inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 17 people. The attempted murder charges were for the 17 other people injured in the mass shooting on Valentine’s Day.

Nikolas Cruz appeared to "break out in laughter" during and after a visit from his attorney, jail records showed. (Reuters) Fox News earlier obtained jail records released by the Broward Sheriff’s Office that detailed officers’ observation of Cruz in solitary confinement. The observations, taken between Feb. 17 and Feb. 24, illustrated the 19-year-old's odd behavior in the days after he allegedly opened fire inside

In an entry on Feb. 17 — three days after the Parkland massacre — Cruz was noted as relaxed, cooperate, “logical and coherent” with a normal speech, jail records showed. The reports for the following days showed roughly the same details. At times, Cruz is observed “lying on his back staring at the ceiling” and avoids eye contact. Cruz appeared “restless” and in “deep thought” other times.

On Feb. 24, the last entry of the records, Cruz requested a Bible. He doesn’t sleep at night, according to the records, and instead “twists and turns in bunk.” He “stares at wall in deep thought, eyes closed, appears to be resting [but] not asleep.”

He was acting oddly prior, too. Not that anybody cared.

There will not be a trial, or any use of evidence to nail this ‘boy’. Why? Because the rules of evidence were violated at the very beginning. If this ‘boy’ changes his plea to not guilty he will be ‘suicided’ before an attorney can nail this violation.

I wonder if he’ll be laughing when he’s kicking at the end of a rope.

He snuck out of the building when his rifle jammed. Doesn’t that go to consciousness of guilt?

It’s time to consider whether Cruz may be nothing more than an innocent patsy for yet another FBI false flag event.

A low blow was Israel dumping it on his deputies, “cowards”.

In fact their last orders were more or less to never arrest students; they were continuing the insanity they’d been instructed to enact.

The arrest was brought about by CITY cops, not the sheriff deputies.

Still NOT ONE F-ING NEWS REPORT on what psychotropic drugs Cruz was on. His aunt said he was. The media doesn’t want to know, as usual.

These people amaze me. What do they expect? This monster killed 17 people in cold blood. People he knew. How many normal people do that? The truth is that Cruz is a pure evil, bats*t crazy murderer.

“Because the rules of evidence were violated at the very beginning.”

How so?

So, lemme get this straight: We live in a world wherein a guy who spontaneously threatens to kill people, brings ammo and knives to school, gets himself tossed into the twinkle bin, assaults people, indicates a desire to be a school shooter, calls the cops on himself to indicate that something isn’t right in his head, CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING PEOPLE THINK IS “ODD”?!! Well, oK then...

His lawyer will go for that diminished capacity defense.

What’s odd about that? I always stare with my eyes closed...

It is no longer considered “odd” to conduct yourself like a lunatic, especially if your behavior is radically antisocial. The job of the authorities is now to convince everybody else that the problem is theirs and theirs alone. That’s how we handle the trannies and other sex freaks. It’s how we handled Cruz himself before the massacre. So why is it now OK to judge him? The ACLU needs to get on this ASAP.
