Parkland mass murderer get flood of fan mail & support

Post by Bruenor »

What is wrong with people, and others wonder why these mass murders keep happening,. This guy had little chance of ever being famous except via one route, and the media has certainly done their publicity job well.

Fan clubs, fan mail, facebook groups, money for his commissary, merchandise sales.

When will the Media accept responsibility for their part in these repeated acts ? Never I'm guessing.

butt murderer Nikolas Cruz is getting stacks of fan mail and love letters sent to the Broward County jail, along with hundreds of dollars in contributions to his commissary account.

Teenage girls, women and even older men are writing to the Parkland school shooter and sending photographs — some suggestive — tucked inside cute greeting cards and attached to notebook paper with offers of friendship and encouragement. Groupies also are joining Facebook communities to talk about how to help the killer.

"There's piles of letters," said Broward County Public Defender , whose office is representing Cruz. "In my 40 years as public defender, I've never seen this many letters to a defendant. Everyone now and then gets a few, but nothing like this."
Finkelstein said he worries “everyday boys and girls are starting to view him in an elevated way, looking up to his fame and notoriety.”

"The letters shake me up because they are written by regular, everyday teenage girls from across the nation,” he said. “That scares me. It's perverted.”
Cruz also now has $800 deposited into his growing commissary account, apparently sent by fans, Finkelstein said. From Feb. 15 through March 5, $630 was deposited, jail records show.
“[Zachary] has been heard and observed discussing how popular his brother is now. That his face is everywhere and his name is national,” Broward Assistant State Attorney Sarahnell Murphy said in court after the younger on March 20.

“There is discussion of starting some sort of pen pal or fan club and how many girls he’s capable of attracting — referring to his brother, Nikolas,” Murphy said.
He’s referred to in some posts as “our Nikolas” and described as “cute.”

Some of those same Facebook members are also selling Nik Cruz merchandise.

One supporter who uses the hashtag #NikFam is selling $2 purple bracelets on eBay.com, declaring “Justice for Nik.” The seller lists a litany of reasons for supporting the confessed mass killer, including that “we believe EVERYONE is worthy of love.”

T-shirts declaring “I stand with Nikolas Cruz” also were briefly offered online.

There is a portion of our society, as we all know, that is sick. These "sicko's" are what makes it hard on the rest of us.

That's another reason why we need guns - to protect us from the "sickos."

Back in the late '80s, either Merle Polis or Joel Rose once had on one of their local Cleveland radio shows a woman who was pen pals with a bunch of serial killers.

She spent her time hurling invective at the parents of the kid who was raped and murdered by a couple of NAMBLA members. Te parents were suing NAMBLA, a great deal of its propaganda having been found in the possession of the killers. She claimed they were "only in it for the money"

Maybe the jail should use the money donations for his room and board. That would be more justified and stick it to the sicko's that are sending it.
