"It was 4 years ago to everyone else, but to us it was only yesterday" The hardest words I've ever heard
This man's rage and heartbreak is harrowing. He feels so powerless because some horrid idiot shot his 14 year old child. It was harrowing listening to him. I wish this would stop
I was looking for a word to comment. Harrowing fits. They should turn this murderer over to this father. That would be justice.
Yet those killed in the BLM riots are not covered.
It will stop for 1,000 years in `2033, when Yeshua sets up his 'Eternal Kingdom' on this newly made over earth!
@@k.lisaswensen9877 Under Moses' Law, you could hire an assassin to kill the murderer, or do it yourself. Unless the Murderer made it to a Sanctuary City where they awaited their trial.
@@rickyrichards7596 No body cares about your Bronze Age fairy tales.
When the father said that his daughter was right where she was supposed to be (learning in school), really hit me in the core. The lil ones involved were in the right places doing the right thing ... To only have the most wrong thing cross their paths. Noone deserves to go through this. Unfair and brutal.
He's angry, and rightly so. I hope this grieving dad can find healing and peace. "This is not normal" He's right, it's not, something is seriously wrong with our society that this is happening in our schools. Sending love to this family. 💜🙏
When you push already marginalized people over the edge sometimes they snap, be kind. You never know what someone could be going through
@@jasmines.6325 you can't be serious
People should probably not gang stalk or harass someone habitually. We know people who feed these rage machines. He reacted exactly how they wanted him too. Now he's a crazy, evil monster and there are a bunch of dead children. I bet the ones that used to go around constantly harassing him just can't believe it, say there were no warning signs and no one ever was evil towards him. OOOOOOOk 😑
@@someoneout-there2165 You are an absolute nut-head. High schoolers don't gangstalk. Plus most people who believe they are being gangstalked are delusional and think theyre being harrassed just because their neighbor gets home at the same time every day.
@Hardcoreleftist p*ss off, who said life is fair? If we all reacted like him it would have been a world war. Most kids get bullied but you don’t shoot up a school. Part of what problem exactly? Because I don’t condone violence? So those kids deserved it? Again check yourself!
Before you have children, seeing and listening to parents who have lost a child hits hard but when you attempt to put yourself in their shoes when you have kids, it's nothing short of unimaginable.
I wish you nothing but strength.
Absolutely :( as a mother of 2 beautiful boys...this is absolutely the worst nightmare. My heartbreaks for these families.
Indeed, it's hard for me to Imagine it
💯!!! I can’t believe even in my daughters collage having shooter drills. Sad as can be man.
What really is sad is parents who have not had a child die, think parents should get over it, as if time erases the horrid pain.
Parent's worst nightmare. I am a parent.
He explained his and his family's loss very well.
Was more than just him and his wife, listen to the whole statement
@@crmwilliams5116 I don’t think the OP was arguing that it was just he and his wife. Not sure where you got that. The fact that he says family already means more than he and his wife.
Yes almost like a movie clip
Even if you a non believer of this tragedy fight for gun control anyway..
@@crmwilliams5116 No need for your comment. But hey, that’s how Americans are today right?! You need the attention, you need it to feel like you matter more than those who are most important in the moment at hand. You need it. You. Need. It. Until you learn that you do not.
This broke me. Imagine having to hear coroner's, day in and out describe how each child died, each teacher and coach... and sit feet away from the monster who did it. Sit unremoreseful, looking bored, drawing or plugging his ears to not hear the damage he created. How dare he. I think these parents are incredibly strong to recall the life of their children. It's nothing less than harrowing to hear how the loss of their babies has changed their world. Forever. So much pain. So much. I share tears with them all.
i agree i thought the "note taking" was rude asf.
He should be in a jail cell in that courtroom and hand cuffed and forced to see and hear what he did! It makes me so damn sick seeing him act as if nothing ever happened.
@@Kr-ul5sy If you have seen the Jodi Arias trial and the victim impact statement of Travis Alexander's brother, the look of anger on his brother's face is identical to the look by the father in this video. I found this to be INCREDIBLY telling and indicative of the true anguish that these types of situations cause. I actually had chills up my spine when I first made the comparison 😶
It's so sickening that he hasn't shed one tear. I don't know how that is humanly possible!! I guess he's completely empty and filled with jealousy and hate. Unlike the kids he killed, nothing ever revolved around him. He wasn't the center of anyone's world. I think in some way he hates to hear how much the parents, family and friends cared, adored and loved their children. Just because he never had that didn't give him the right to take it upon himself to murder them.
I pray the parents and families can one day find peace somehow. 🙏
@@wrestlerx8494 I'll definitely check it out. We are in a awful sick world. It's just plan awful!
Remember that after we watch this, we might click on another video or do something else and move on with our lives. But the emotion and heartbreak you witnessed in this video is this man's entire existence now, every single day living with these feelings and this grief. Imagine how tiring and horrendous that is to live with this pain 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
this man is a doctor. I can't imagine what it is like to save lives all day, only to live with the fact that you couldn't save your daughter. it's not his fault of course, and I hope he doesn't feel guilty, and is able to have the best possible life after this.
@@keishamarsielle3990 ♥️
Oh my gosh how true 😪❤️
I pray he see his work as saving life its for his lost daughter that was murdered and in her name he will continue to honor her the time they had by doing so. I really hope and wish he thinks that and all the victims family, so they dont feed themselves to stop living and care and see the rest of the family that are left and yes they all struggle with that but i hope they meet, forgive themselfes for keep going cause that would be the lost ones wish and think of them with honour and also remember the good days more than the bad ones later on even tho a lost will never go away but it can be eased what it are or has been. R.i.p all over the victims, and prayers upon the rest of families. Let the lost live by the memory by keep living your life, do that for them aswell as the next closest to you!
Wow. I don't even know what to say. I did not know he was a doctor. You pointed out how unfair it is. A man dedicating his to life helping and trying to keep people well. Has his own child ripped away from him and his family. Just. ... Wow
@@ham7357 That was your only take away from this comment? You’re ridiculous.
Not ashamed to admit as a 38 year old man, im sat here crying like a baby. I can't imagine the heartbreak they must be going through each day. All i can do i say I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I hope this pos gets everything he deserves.
They should let him have few minutes with that excrement. At least that.
I sit here watching this as a 41 yo father of a 14 year old daughter and I am filled with rage and wish I could do unspeakable things to that piece of scum that took away so many young lives from their families.
I’m crying my eyes out holding my 3 year old
Me too man hands down heart breaking
Hmmmm
I lost my only daughter 3 years ago. She was just 21. The pain of losing a child is absolutely soul crushing. 😢
I'm so sorry that you had to deal with such pain.
❤️
💜💜
I’m so sorry💗
I'm very sorry for you loss Ma'am😥💔
My heart bleeds for this father. I'm so pleased that he is able to say exactly what he feels. I only hope time will bring him some kind of peace.
He looks happy.
You never recover from the death of a child. My dad lost his son in a car accident and a child at birth. He was never the same. Absolutely heartbreaking for the families.
I assume that means you lost your brother.. I’m sorry for the pain you felt too 💖
@@kassandravaldezcontreras8075Thank you. Lost both parents quick also. It makes you look at the world differently. Had someone tell me once to remember the good times. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself. You need to find strength to move on and hopefully make them proud. I know I will see them again in heaven.
U couldn't be more right me and my wife lost are 2 daughters at birth do to complications 5yrs to the day my wife gave birth to are son whom was killed in a motorcycle accident at 20yrs old it's been 6yrs as of this June and not 1 day these past 6yrs has felt the same for us
One of my favorite plays is 'Our Town'. Emily dies in childbirth and is watching her husband George from heaven. You will see them all again in heaven. They are waiting for you.
I lost my son at birth and almost lost my wife same day I wake all the time checking her and my now gorgeous rainbow baby but live that night over and over it’s the worst definitely changed me
My heart breaks for these families...no parent should loose a child.
It's lose not loose. Maybe you have a loose child.
@Dik Hurtz For all you know they could've. Don't judge them or criticise them for speaking their mind.
No person should have a child. All you're doing is creating evil, fear, suffering, and victims. Satan uses procreation to have an endless supply of new souls 😃
@Dik Hurtz "WTF" cmon man get some new material
Lose** smh
My heart breaks for this incredibly strong Dad and his family. There just aren't words to describe this pain.
Well said! Awful 🙏🏿
It really made an impact when he said, "my daughter was exactly where she was supposed to be!" He was right. We send our kids to school because we have to. It's what you do, but we should all be able to have the confidence that they are safe. I work in a school district, we are not safe. Parents need to ask the tough questions to their school boards and administrators about safety in the buildings, where the cameras are located and every parent needs to be okay with consequences for bad behavior. Nothing bad happens, till it does. Dont let it happen in your schools. Keep your district accountable for the safety and security of the students. This amazing father is filled with hurt, anger and rage. I pray he can somehow find some peace. He didn't deserve this.
How about sensible gun control laws? This doesn’t happen anywhere else but here, our schools don’t need to be armed and locked down. That’s insane.
@@friedtofufan never said schools should be armed. As far as gun control, you can use many many things as a weapon. When I was in HS a kid put a pipe bomb in his bully's locker. It was terrifying. He blew the kids fingers off. Kids are violent at school because that is where they are being bullied and discriminated against. As a society we need to restructure what we are doing with these kids all day and it can't be just babysitting them. There is no consequences for bullying, so kids take it into their own hands. Quiet kids get overlooked. So much is required for faculty and staff in a day that there is zero time to connect personally to students. Parents make excuses for their kids bad behavior as well. Why does it always have to be a law to fix things? If so then how about a law that pays a parent to stay home with their kid? Maybe we need to focus on better parenting and prevention. Like preventing the child from growing up to be evil, not preventing the evil child from getting their hands on a gun. (Legally) because they will get their hands on something to use as a weapon and it might be worse then a gun.
I can't imagine what they're going through. The grief, the sorrow, the anger the loss. God bless them all
Exactly
I don't feel sorry for them. Only a moron is dumb enough to bring a child into this world long gone. Why sign up for misery. Look at this guy he's going to kill himself. Crying like a baby. I lost both my parents before the age if 30. You'll never see me cry like this or feel sorry for myself.
But you can write a comment to get likes
@@omensoffate and you can write one to get attention
@@sarahburggraf907 I don’t want attention. These comments are just like baits
I’m so glad they are using the word “murdered”, and not “killed”.
Agree
Because Cruz killed indiscriminately, "killed" is probably the better word choice. To murder someone involves the premeditative planning of his or her death, and Cruz didn't specifically target this young woman when he entered the school that day.
@@Zenigundam Sometimes all you have to do is shut up. This was one of those times.
@@VIK_1903 couldn’t have said it better my self
@@Zenigundam he may not have targeted her specifically , but the entire situation was premeditated. He MURDERED every single one of those teenagers. Whether it’s a specific motive towards one person or not, it’s still murder. He planned it for months and knew exactly what he was doing.
Tears are running down my face listening to this poor man speak of his beloved daughter. I am a mother to my own 14 year old and I get sick to my stomach trying to put myself in his shoes. I can't even begin to imagine the devastating heartbreak these families are forced to live with day in and day out.
The pain the father is going through talking about his daughter is unimaginable. And certainly understandable.The brutal killer is choosing up valuable air that he shouldn't be using.Deepest of condolences to all family and friends.May God be with you all Amen.
I started crying at the "father daughter dance". He never got the chance to give her away because she was taken too soon. Time to give Physco the Death Penalty.
Let him rot In isolation in a small cell for decades. Death penalty takes forever to actually go through with anyway.
They really need to. PLEASE Florida don’t fail them . Don’t fail us
Yes killers got no right to live no place on the Earth.
@@kyletoman3892 he did got the death penalty.
adam...and give the gun industry lobby and republicans a kick in the ass on their way out! this will NEVER stop unless people vote against the suppliers who make mass murders possible.
As a Dad this brought me to tears, I cannot imagine this mans grief.. Just no words, could not listen to it all... RIP to those Victims of that lunatic and condolences to all their families..
@@masonkanterbury3007 I heard the testimony from the gun seller. He did his due diligence, asking Cruz why he wanted the gun. A sociopath can be very good at convincing someone that they have no evil intentions.
I don't have kids and never will. I don't feel sad one bit. He signed up for it brought kids into this world. So it was inevitable.
@@honkingantalope The issue is these are innocent Kids, don't blame them for the fact that Libtards have removed Culpability from people for their actions. Just look around do you think Lunatics GAS about things like this.. NO they don't but saying you have no heart for the innocent is well a Typical Libtard thing to say.. But I'm pretty sure you Supported Brandon and Team Tard so I'm not surprised here..
@@honkingantalope originally I came here to say nothing but „shame on you“. Instead I wish you’ll find love and empathy in life, so you don’t show up on the internet spitting on peoples pain and grief.
Mariateresa agreed. We pity those who don't feel deeply or live fully. I couldn't listen to all of the video either.
I can feel his anger through his words. I'm so sorry for his loss :(
I feel so bad for this father. As a father I don't know what I would do without her.
It's really difficult to grieve a child. You have to change your entire life, just to be able to function. Walking past the children's clothing department is enough to set of a rollercoaster ride of reliving the loss. And you just feel lost. You really don't know what to do with your self because before this, your entire life revolves around your kids. You feel like a parent without children. A misplaced puzzle piece.
And if by chance you get a hug from someone else's child, your so grateful it overwhelms you and you get to ride the rollercoaster and relive it again.
Well look at it this way. Not that it's a good way to think about things or that this was right by any means. The kid should be tortured imo. But everyone dies at some point. You and everyone else and everything will eventually die. After you die you will soon be forgotten about and the world moves on. Pretty shallow but it's the truth.
Thank you for sharing your story. I know there is more.
You explained it very well.
Gosh you explained it so well. Thankyou
I've observed the damage losing children can do, my best friend lost all 4 of her children at different times in their lives and the holes in her heart are tremendous. She's raised/is raising 2 of the children's children and that has brought her joy as well as her deep faith.
I am crying. Having lost a son in Afghanistan, I know the profound pain and horror of the loss of a child. God help this father to find peace in the years ahead. Grief is a hard, hard journey.
So sorry for your.loss
But I bet your son murdered innocent civilians
May you find peace, sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. God bless.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your brave son. Thank you for your sacrifice. I’m so very grateful for our soldiers and their families.
The level of pain and perfectly justified, totally undeserved anger in his voice and on his face is staggering. It was an incredible act of strength for him to give this statement, and I hope he is able to find peace and justice.
That is the deepest, most honest victim impact statement I have ever heard. No, Dr. Alhadeff, you shouldn't be in a court room having to read that statement either. I hope you will turn to your colleagues for extra strength when you need it. Your anger is so important to this. I swear you channel ALL of it. So take care of yourself - please.
Heartbreaking. Absolutely devastating to hear and confront, but in my humble opinion it is so necessary for the court and murder on trial to hear this directly from the family. They need to know and get a sense of the trauma and impact this senselessness had on this poor family. No parent should ever have to bare the loss of a child and endure a burial. BUT to have it be a loss to murder is a jolt to the soul. Shame on the gunman, shame on the systems that failed him, but love and support to this poor brave dad.
‘Shame on the systems that failed him’. F U.
I was actually thinking the complete opposite,that the famalies don't need to see and hear all this information around the murder of their precious children, just lock that animal up and be done with it, jeeze its so horrific. The U.S.A really needs to change the legislation around gun ownership its absolutely appalling and I'm surprised you dont hear of even more murders because of the stupid firearm laws.
@@donsforever1462 we do hear of lots of murders due to shootings. It's really sad that it's been happening a lot lately. There was a grocery store shooting, one in a convenience store or was it a bodega? There was a lot that happened in Philly. I live in PA and in the Philly suburbs. so we hear about all of the news there. But yeah, it's just heartbreaking. I do hope something is done. It shouldn't be so easy for anyone to buy any kind of weapon.
@@tamielynne7374 No, it's not the weapons that murder. Murderers should be put to death then there would not be as many of them!
@@donsforever1462 No hang the murderers and there would not be as many murders!
Americans with firearms have kept the world free! Europe and the rest of the world would be speaking German and Japanese now, if it were NOT for Armed Americans!
And communists would take over the world!
Commies don't want Americans armed!
Wake up!
If anyone took my firstborn daughter away in any way- let alone the way he lost his- I wouldn’t miss a minute of pondering how I would have revenge. I’m so sorry for all the families and persons affected by this horrific tragedy.
I'm the same. I would lose it. Everyone this coward loves would be dead
This father and the whole family that spoke about Alyssa has made me so upset about all these shootings I could not imagine what these families go through for the rest of their lives I’m so sorry ♥️
Dude you are not going through this alone . I and millions of others share our
sympathy. I know I can never feel your grief . Your daughter Ellisa is an Angel . Your passion hits me deep in my heart . I wish I could do something to help with your pain . Your bravery inspires me . I am so sorry .

This brought tears to my eyes. The intense pain and anger this man feels just crushes my heart. The feeling of being powerless and broken, how do you ever heal from this? Losing a child would be terrible, but losing a child to murder? That is something I could not deal with. Having to look him in the eyes would bring on a burning rage and test every ounce of control the most sane person has
This was the most heart-rending speech I've heard.
yeah it’s sad
I thought it was really cringe tbh. I mean dude this isn't a soap opera.
@@MayorMcheese12 a soap opera is having free access to guns all these children being killed on a regular basis in America being normalised that is a real soap opera ....just stop making money from guns and end this horrific soap opera. It's really that bad!

I agree
I hope someone makes him an honorary dad to his daughters friends.
This is just horrible.
Even when I'm not a parents yet, and only just accepted at college, I cannot stop crying when I hear the deep emotion and how much he grieves for his wonderful daughter. I hope all the parents will find peace and happiness and this tragedy will never happen again.
I cannot imagine living with the pain of losing a family member, especially losing your own child. Got taken forcefully, because one person's heartless and gruesome action.
I am sorry if I cannot express how I feel in a better phrase or words. English is not my native language. But still I want to send my condolences to all the family who lost their beloved children in this massacre.
Your English is fine😀
The two students, who died by suicide, after the shooting, shall have their victim impact statements read.
There were two suicides as a result of the shooting? That’s terrible and it doesn’t surprise me.
When he said "This is not normal" that hurt man like parents are supposed to pass away before their child but to lose a child in the family that's just something no one should ever have to experience
But!dont get blinded!parent’s supposed to pass away before their child!but dont forget that this kids to(nikolas and his brother)lost his parents when they were child!Take a deep though at that!
@@lasurenia7 I understand that and I'm also aware that Cruz's own brother even treated him poorly up until this tragic event but I'm not even gonna say that doesn't excuse his actions that without saying but the truth is it doesn't even matter what Cruz went through it would've matters if he didn't go out and take lives but he deserves nothing now

“She occasionally sprays Alissa’s perfume just to try and smell her.” This poor family. 😢
My heart goes out to this grieving dad.. no one should have to go through losing family members like this
And yet your thumbnail is what appears to be Tupac, a gangsta, pointing an (unregistered) handgun at someone.
@@Zenigundam stfu tupac never shot anyone and i dont think any "gangstas" have ever walked into a school with an ar15 and killed over a dozen kids.
From here to `2033, many families will lose members! Just remember this: Ps. 116:15 “His loved ones are very precious to him and he does not lightly let them die.” (TLB).
Is. 57: 1, 2 “The Good men perish; the Godly die before their time and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to realize that God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. For the Godly who die shall rest in peace.” (TLB).

He hasn't killed any innocent people, and he has empathy.
hard to imagine the pain those people went though when 4 years later you can still see it hasn't even lifted a little yet, probably never will
It doesn't get better. You just get more used to living in the pain.
That’s the truth. The pain stays the same, you miss them the same. You just grow as a person around it :( truly the worst feeling in the universe
My heart breaks for your family, and all the victims and their families. I'm a dad, and I could not even begin to imagine the pain you all have every day. My deepest condolences.
This speech destroyed me. The raw despair emanating from this totally-crushed man is all-encompassing.
Wow- you can feel the sheer contempt towards the defendant in the thick air of the courtroom
I want to give this man a hug, I really feel his pain! Its heartbreaking!
How can you not shed tears hearing this father speak about the loss of his 14 year old daughter, and the effect it has had on him and his family. Not to mention the loss of a grandfather that could not go on without her
God I feel so bad for these people. Every day they have to wake up and be the parent of someone who was murdered. No one deserves that. Even the students and faculty that were there that day and survived; their lives are always gonna have the pain and terror of that day in their bones. Just horrific. I can’t imagine how I’d be if someone needlessly hurt someone I cared about.
The pain of losing a child to a disease or accident is horrific enough, but to have one taken in this way, and the anger that would accompany it, would be unimaginable.

That poor man has been carrying that rage and sorrow around for 4 and a half years. It's the families who really suffer.
And meanwhile, one or two outcomes for the BASTARD takes place;
1. He gets prison "treatment" from other inmates to the point where he eventually becomes those inmates for the next murderer to get the same treatment and then eventually play cards, watch TV, talk with others, have FUN...
2. He gets solitary confinement where he gets to live when his victims are 6 feet below, not worrying about the "treatment" that would eventually end up convienent for him.
All these deputies protecting this BASTARD. But not one who was able to protect CHILDREN in time of their greatest need...
And that's saying there was a resource officer in the school who decided to be a coward. Found NOT GUILTY for his negligence.
I wish you nothing but strength. Your impact statement was truly powerful and had me in tears. All I can do is wish you and your family my very deepest sympathy and pray and hope that time can sometime help to heal some of the pain you all obviously feel. Respect to you man and much love sent from the UK x
If this jury doesn't choose the death penalty we might as well not have it at all.
Amen
Death penalty would put a end to his suffering. Why do you want the death penalty? “And he even said a part of him is wishing it end” so if he gets the death penalty that’s what he wants he wants the death penalty
Agreed. As well as let this dork know all the families just LOVE knowing how great it is that he’ll not be breathing soon enough! He seemed to be pretty delighted for what he’s done. I think he’s loving this pain they have.
I can't even imagine how this feels, and I'm not even a parent. I have no words.
me too. i have little sibblings and i treat them like my own and if they were taken from me i would be angry and on the last day of the shooters sentence i would take off him in the court room and leave his face bloody
💔 No words.
We don't them, but it has affected us very deeply.
the audacity to put an ad in the middle of this video
The mom sleeping with Alyssa's blankets 😞. That brought it home to me. This dad's speech is pure love.
Heartbreaking 💔 You cannot convince me that an 18 year old’s “right” to own a gun is more important than children being able to live out their full life.

This man is good enough already.
this is why kids are afraid to go to school. i feel so bad for this family that lost their little girl.
This is really an all-time incredible speech. Clearly so much emotion involved, but very eloquent at the same time
As a father of 3 beautiful girls, I can't imagine what that family is going through as I can't imagine the pain of losing a child to such a senseless act! He has every right to speak in anger as every word he spoke hit me inside and brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely heartbreaking!
That's right.
I think the shooter is enjoying these impact statements. I know they want to have their say but it's almost sickening to give him this opportunity. to enjoy it. Disgusting so-called human being
Yes this dirty dog is enjoying hearing these hurt people speak about losing their child. It is a pitiful shame this lunatic got to kill so many innocent young people.
I agree because that POS bragged on his videos what he was going to do, planned it and said 'everyone will know who I am'....He took his mask off because he is enjoying this in his cold hearted way. The parents should be the ones deciding his fate. Personally he deserves the death penalty because he didn't care that the lives he took that day that he doesn't deserve to breathe another day. I am so glad that one of the parents spoke out in the manner that this man did. ANGER towards the cold blooded murderer who took his daughter's life.
If only they could execute this abomination 17 times instead of just once. There is no justice for a person who kills this many innocent children.
His lawyers were crying during some of the statements, while he just looked bored.
I really hope the jury also sees that when they pass judgement.
@@cypherdk85 if i was nikolas cruz lawyer i would testify against cruz
They will never stop missing their children. It’s impossible to do so.
My heart breaks to listen to the pain and suffering this man displays through his testimony. These families are broken , life for them will never be the same. Protect your children from the monsters that walk this earth , fear not the idea of over protecting, this world is full of evil and one should not reject the idea that being careful and cautious is NOT not allowing your children to grow up but rather protecting them from the crazy’s.
Very powerful. Well said dad. She would be proud of you.
Can we arrange a "meeting" with this man and Nickolas?
This is powerful, sorry to anyone going through such pain like this. Doesn't matter what the cause is, hope it gets better for anyone going through this type of pain.
I weep together with all those parents who lost their child.
Over here in Germany we had two school shootings in the last 10 years . Two too many.
I do hope our countries will find solutions to prevent such horrible events..
In America there's more then 2 school shooting yearly.. it's sickening. 2 in 10 yrs, only hope America could get to that point.
@@alexuscook5052 Theres school shootings monthy in America.
I'm sorry to hear about the shootings in Germany, but here in my country, the USA, I could die anywhere I go. I go grocery shopping, I could die. I go to a movie theater, I could die. I go to a concert, I could die. I go to a parade, I could die. I go to school or work, I could die. I even go to a public library, I could die....You get the point. There are mass shootings all the time here. Any time I leave my house, I could die in a mass shooting. The same goes for any other person living here in the US. There are many vile, deranged people here and it's scary.
@@fibonaccisequence4225 well, over here we have much stricter laws concerning who may buy a wapon and who not.
We do not quite understand why Americans want this free access to guns and pistols.
Yes, there was an ancient law for a time out in the wilderness...
( but even then: rifles, guns and pistols did more harm to innocent persons ...)
Why not try a better registration?
In Switzerland every adult has his military equipment at home . Everyone learns how to handle that rifle.
Up to now ( as far as I know) NOTHING bad happened!
@@riekebusch2293 The issue here is quite complex. It's not just guns. Americans have had access to these guns for quite some time. The problem is way deeper than that. Why are there way more mass shootings now than 30 years ago when Americans still had access to these guns back then? Anyone that commits a mass shooting is mentally deranged. Something is increasing mental illness. I believe that the pandemic and social media is playing a huge role in people having more mental illness, especially depression and anxiety, narcissism, etc. Deranged people hear about the latest mass shooting, and then they want to top it off by killing more people. A lot of them post on social media. It's like a domino effect. I think that social media is causing a huge portion of it. Even if these guns were banned, people could still just build them if they wanted to. We need to get at the root of the problem, deranged people, and making sure that they don't get access to weapons. Even that's not a simple solution. Some parents let their kids have access to the weapons. My point in this is that banning guns alone isn't going to solve all this. The issue is way deeper than that. Personally, I don't own any guns, but I live in an extremely low crime area, far from any city. So, I don't really need to protect myself.
This is so painful! Man didn’t finish watching without tears in my eyes. Hopefully this may bring some closure and peace. But I would not blame this father to wish tearing that monster apart as I would gladly volunteer.
What else from Fox broadcasting brings you to tears?
I can honestly say there is no closure or peace when a child or sibling is murdered, I know! I lost my little sister 25 years ago this coming Oct.1. I gave the victims impact statement at the trials , the pain never ends it affects you the rest of your life, my parents took it to their graves and i am the only one left on this earth from my family, I have been in therapy, tried everything and it still remains. Listening to these families give these impact statements brings back enormous pain as I know exactly how they feel and where they are coming from.
@@ricbiff3569 hey everyone, look someone that needs attention! 🤡
@@michelleobamasbulge818 -- the poor thing does indeed.
@@ricbiff3569 -- don't know, but your comment is a contender 🤡... J/K no, you're quite amusing actually.
I can’t begin to sit here and imagine what these people have went through and are continuing to go through, and I know this testimony is somewhat cathartic…but PISS on this waste of space that did this. I think he’s absolutely elated that he smashed all these families to pieces. I think it’s almost rewarding to him to be able to sit there and have the victims actually come to him and tell him how good of a job he did. I think all law enforcement should just leave the room for about 10 minutes and leave him with the families.
you seem to be as sick as he is....
@jerhkdra I guess the 20 people that liked my comment do too.
@@Wrexxxx he's sick because he has a solution no sympathy for murders the only way to stop this from happening again is to torture him for all to see so maybe the next person would think twice
Even if they were to torture him and beat him to near death, their children are still gone and the void in their hearts are still there.
I'm pretty sure the majority of the USA disagrees with you D Schmitz
What is even more devastating, she was hiding behind a teachers desk when she thought she was out of sight… she was not
Heartbreaking 💔 I have a 14 &16 year old cannot imagine the pain , my heart goes out to all these grieving parents
That father truly expressed his pain.
This pain never really goes away. My heart goes out to all those that have been affected by this sick human being. This has nothing to do with politics or government and has everything to do with this sick human.
well-stated, Susan
A lot of this does have to do with Politics and Government. They have the power to pass legislation to make the world a safer place and yet, they don’t. Not to mention the fact that billions of dollars are stripped from mental health services and educational institutions every year, only fueling these problems even more.
So what is the solution to this problem? To simply rely on the good will of "sick individuals" to not act on their desires?
@@bobkane432 not allow people with mental illness get a gun and parents of people with mental illness should be required to keep locked up at all times or be held accountable. Also, not give air time to absolute assholes like Alex Jones.
This is so heartbreaking to watch and listen. It’s unimaginable how much this tragedy has affected the families involved, even those who didn’t lose a child. This tragedy is so traumatizing even for parents who didn’t experience this tragedy firsthand, to imagine your child could get murdered while they’re in school.
The cascading effect of pain and sorry for the decision from an evil kid that just "wants to kill people" is unimaginable. Take time to heal and find your place in life, it can be great.
This is so sad, I cannot imagine how anyone deals with this!!
This man is a TRUE HERO.... Sincerely sending all my love to you sir..
I went through this in 1999
It changes you as a person 😢
I lost two of my friends and a coworker. I miss these people.
Columbine?
@@alexmcaruthur6966 no
Use the chang to Fight for gun control and for its success.
I cry listening to this. My heart breaks for this father and his family. I wish I could take away their pain. I have no doubt that Alyssa was everything her father says she was. A brilliant student, supportive friend, a determined athlete, and an overall amazing person. I wish the Alhadeff family and the families of the other victims nothing but strength, courage, peace, and love.
I don't have kids but I feel the intensity of the pain so much when they talk it must be unimaginable. Prayers to all family members and victims. I wish I cold hug all of you. 😢😢
God, please give these parents strength.
Would that be the same god that ignored the prayers and cries of the children being murdered?
@Holy bruh what
@Holy ok karen
As for Nick Cruz: time to fire up Old Sparky
My heart breaks for your family!! Praying justice is served 🙏🙏
God bless this man and his family. I cried listening to this, as a mother with a 14 year old daughter who is my oldest.... I am filled with empathy and sorrow for these families. God bless you all.
I cannot fathom the pain these parents are going through. I am so so sorry, I know you will never completely heal, I just hope you have some peace in your hearts.
I can't pray hard enough for healing for this father
My deepest sympathies and condolences to all of the families of the victims...May you find peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's heartbreaking. ❤️
My heart breaks....for all the families involved...I'm so sorry for your loss.
Life in prison shouldnt be on the table
So heartbreaking. The rage & grief may never go away, but I hope that time softens those feelings so that Mr. Alhadeff can live a life that would have made his daughter proud. May he & his family find peace.
This breaks my heart. So many lost their child and lost their selves.. My life would be no more if I has such a loss. These parents and survivors are so strong and I hope their stories will help someone in whatever way is needed.
Such a senseless crime, for nothing.
I am so so sorry for his loss! May God help hill that terrible wound!
god aint HERE TO HELP ANYONE !!!
The same god that knew about this shooting and did nothing to stop it?
