Parkland student Emma González...and her fellow students at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School “ostracized” fellow student Nikolas Cruz. Said González when speaking in Washington at the anti-gun “March for Our Lives”:
“Since he was in middle school, it was no surprise to anyone who knew him, that he was the shooter. Those talking about how we should have not ostracized him? You didn’t know this kid! OK? We did!”
Which is to say, González just made a startling admission. Parkland students bullied Nikolas Cruz.
It may well be that González is right — the rest of us didn’t know him.
But there are a large number of people — some of whom are celebrities and either marched in and/or supported the March — who have spent years insisting that what González and her friends who “ostracized” Nikolas Cruz did was… bullying....
Marolo Alvarez remembers students taunting Nikolas Cruz.
“He looked like a school shooter,” Alvarez said students used to say about him.
Alvarez, who spoke to reporters at a vigil for victims of the area’s second mass shooting in 13 months, said he wishes he had said something earlier. “I could have said something to administrators, that ‘hey this kid gets bullied a lot, please help him, please reach out to him.’ I kind of regret not doing that,” Alvarez said.

What a bunch of Pieces of Excrement.
I wonder what it feels like to be the 2 most hated 17 year olds in the country
These are the evil spawn of Leftist education and social media in our country. They should be held up as the bad result of rearing children with no consciences.
From the article (separated sentences for effect):
“Those talking about how we should have not ostracized him?
You didn’t know this kid!
OK?
We did!”
Hmm, why did those kids shut the perp out?
The Culture of Inclusion, Diversity, and Acceptance of All Gender Identification has given rise to probably the most self-centered, judgmental and bullying generation ever in the history of mankind.
They feel righteous because they know they are right about everything. Which is why they need to stamp so many people into the mud: because those other people are just so wrong.
Self-fulfilling prophecy... Of course, it's leftists doing the bullying again.
There is a difference between ostracizing and bullying.
I submit these kids were right to ignore and ostracize Cruz. He was a punk, a thief and a lowlife bum.
Going to church is not a spiritual life.
#winning!!
How many ways is this one the virtue signaling righteous victim? Let’s count them, shall we?
First she is a gender formerly known as female. That’s huge. Everyone knows that females are seriously discriminated against, perhaps even worse than Blacks, because we cannot even call them female any more even as they are “kept down” worse than Blacks who are targeted by the police for assassination!
Then, she is an LBQTQXZR so scraping along the bottom of societys rejects she must suffer indignity after indignity as she is forced to use a restroom that compromises her sense of inclusiveness and diversity!
Next, she herself cannot be accused of bullying He Who Would Not Be Named [Cruz, oops, I did it] because only whites can be bullies, she is not white, not male, nor straight, nor heteronormal and the NRA are murderers as we all know! Besides she is too busy virtue signaling to be unvirtuous because that would probiotic!
And finally, atop the pedestal she has created for herself out of sheer girl power for her normative subtransgendered racial intransigence she stands for and for the community of autoelegaical victimicians, she forms the paradigm of subtropical convergence adjacency privilege convulsives!
I count four. That is Nobel prize material, right there.
I knew a kid who was quite badly bullied during middle school years. He was very depressed at times, and he had quite a lot of anger. He never shot up the school. He never even went after the kid(s) who bullied him, although he confessed his fantasies of doing so. But things were different then than now, I believe. There are two main reasons I suspect these mass shooting happen now:
GLORY
I believe the media at large is fully culpable of glorifying mass shooters. Every time one happens, the shooter is ignominiously sensationalized, name and visage ceaselessly paraded before the people, and engraved in history as well as the collective psyche. Those like them.... are absorbing. We didn’t have this back in ‘the day’. If you wanted to know about things like this happening, you had to actively seek it out. Very often the very rare individual with a morbid curiosity about serial killers or mass murderers were not the same people who would or could commit them.
INHUMANITY
Everything is relative, but more than ever, kids are connected socially, but isolated socially. They are jacked in. Caught the ‘matrix’ and they are not as much a part of the human part of the human race. For this reason, it is much easier for anger and hatred against a few bullies to transfer to all. This transference of hate is due to a lack of a sense of empathy and humanity. Too often, people are just members of a horde, often more like characters on a screen than characters of person.
——“I could have said something to administrators, ——
It would not have mattered.
The political wishes of the corrupt black politicos instituted a hands off policy the would have prohibited any action against Cruz.
The Congressional Black Caucus, Black Lives Matter and the NAACP killed the 17. Everybody knows that fact and are working double overtime to cover it up.
History will record that black America operating in a lawless self interest killed the 17
The term black America does not include that great mass of law abiding and hard working black Americans. This post is political analysis and is not racist
And you idiots don't think he knew what you said about him? He probably said to himself, "So, you think I look like a shooter, huh? I'll show you what a real shooter can do!"
And, of course, they won't acknowledge what part they played in the death of the 17 kids.
Whatever that is supposed to mean.
They’ve learned nothing from Columbine.
While not making excuses for this piece of trash, I think an review of what happened would support this was not a random killing of cohorts at that school. To me it looked like more than a representation that those killed will girls, aside from the teachers who tried to intercede. I think the POS had a target list and carried it out.
Gonzalez’s “parents” came to this country as refugees to escape communist Cuba in 1968. As payback to the country that took them in, they raised a daughter who is a sexual deviant skinhead who wears a military style jacket with a communist Cuba flag on it. This has to be the worst case of piss poor parenting in the history of the world.
“Bullying” had nothing to do with it - the kid was crazy and simply shouldn’t have been outside of a locked ward. Everybody who met him knew he was a problem, including the police, but as Trump pointed out, the laws kept them from doing anything about him.
However, the thing that is creepy about this little witch is that she’s bragging about having “ostracized” him. She obviously doesn’t see how her words are confirming Trump’s point, which was that the mental health system and the legal system failed, something that has nothing to do with the weapons used by him.
I have very often seen loads of hypocrisy, but it most often seems to be those who play the victim card often have so many of their own bullying and ostracizing people.
It’s called making a postdiction about the kid to say that it was okay to bully and ostracize him since he became a murderer later on. Which is complete BS.
