Parkland shooter is getting lots of fan mail from teen girls

Post Reply New Topic

In a sign of the times that disturbs even his court-appointed defender, Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz is getting flooded with fan mail from women and men who profess love and support for the teen killer of 17 people.

The letters addressed to the mass murderer are building in stacks at the Broward County Jail, where Cruz sits under suicide watch. Cruz, 19, a former Marjory Stoneman Douglas student, was indicted by a Broward grand jury on 17 counts of first degree murder and an additional 17 counts of attempted murder.

The Sun Sentinel, which first reported this story, obtained copies of several.

“I’m 18-years-old. I’m a senior in high school. When I saw your picture on the television, something attracted me to you,” read one that arrived from Texas. “Your eyes are beautiful and the freckles on your face make you so handsome.”

Another: “No one else is dealing w/your demons, meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning of your meaning, friend. I know you could use a good friend right now. Hang in there and keep your head up.”

In addition, Cruz’s commissary account is swelling with at least $800 in donated funds.

“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,” public defender Howard Finkelstein, whose office represents Cruz, told the Sun Sentinel.

“The letters shake me up because they are written by regular, everyday teenage girls from across the nation,” Finkelstein added. “That scares me. It’s perverted.”

This, of course, is not a new trend. Jailhouse and prison convicts have long attracted the attention of the unbalanced.

Serial killer Ted Bundy, executed at Florida State Prison in 1989 for killing Florida State University sorority sisters Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman in January 1978, attracted a slew of fans, besotted by the good-looking mass murderer who confessed to 30 murders but may have committed more.

Lyle and Erik Menendez, the Beverly Hills brothers convicted in 1994 of the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, each got married while in prison.

There goes my ability to eat solid food for the rest of my life. No wonder society hates girls and women so much.
(It's okay for me to say that because I'm female, right?)

Any theories on why males would send someone like that fan mail?

Maybe after the trial in regular jail he will get a special admirer who goes by the name Bubba.
