“Crazed girls flood Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz with fan mail”
Not my headline; theirs.
It’s a common phenomenon, although to the “non-crazed” among us (that would be most of us), it seems like a bad choice and a bad bet:
Mass 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.
Five years ago I wrote this post on the subject of women who fall in love with (or at least, have romantic and/or sexual relationships with) prisoners, the badder the better:
Various theories are offered: attraction to the famous, violent tendencies in the woman herself, fantasies (sometimes religiously oriented) of the redemptive power of love, and the fact that often the couple never has to face living together day in and day out and so can remain in the courting stage. But I think the words of a lawyer quoted in the article offer what is probably a better explanation:
“There are lots of sad relationships in prison. A lot of opportunistic, shallow, revolting relationships and a lot of sad, hopeless people clinging to each other.”
In that post, I commented that for some prisoners it’s mostly the opportunistic, shallow, manipulative, and psychopathic elements that are operating.
Cruz—and heartthrob terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev—have the added advantage of being young, which I suppose enhances their attractiveness in the eyes of some. The fascination is not just limited to women, either, as the quote about Cruz’s admirers indicates.
Cruz and David Hogg are both narcissists. I hope that this statement is clear. While Cruz’s behavior was so atrocious that he committed unspeakable horror, David Hogg’s undisciplined control freak way of the world would bring more harm to people as only the innocent would be disarmed to be slaughtered by the criminals.
It is a complex problem and David Hogg is so self-centered that he is unable to wrap his mind around the complexity of the problem.
These people are profoundly disturbed, yet they can vote…
Baklava,
David Hogg is the kind of person who, had he the power, would happily send millions to the reeducation camps, gulags and killing fields. I suspect he’s a sociopath.
See the guest editorial in the NYT.

Yeah, ” inclusion” and receiving attention solves all problems. It makes you feel special and needed, and sooooo good. If, that is, you are a somewhat dimwitted teenaged girl, or a liberal of any gender or age.
This young girl, learned better … despite her “desire to please”
Charles Manson had his groupies, too, back in the day. This is not at all unusual.
They’re ignoring the drugs and demon problems.
DNW: I’d hate to read your summation of Jesus’s life.
Ted Bundy had an enormous number of groupies. He was a goodlooking, personable young male who had no trouble getting women. What excited him to the core, however, was the absolute control one possesses during necrophilia.
Richard Ramirez, the “Night Stalker,” had all kinds of groupies, ultimately getting married and being allowed conjugal visits.
So too the “Gainesville Ripper.” I think he ended up married to his lawyer, who of course knew all the ugly details of his crimes.
Jamie Dornan, the former model for Calvin Klein, became a big star because of his role playing a serial killer in the British TV series “The Fall.” His performance was riveting, no doubt.
There’s something about the dangerous male which perversely appeals to many females on a prerational, irrational level, which modern feminism does not want to examine or admit.
“for some prisoners it’s mostly the opportunistic, shallow, manipulative, and psychopathic elements that are operating.”
While it is likely that all those adjectives are true in spades for Cruz that doesn’t explain “stacks of fan mail and love letters” because he couldn’t possibly have reached out personally to all the senders. They are the phenomenon here, not him.
One of the news reports I saw said Cruz doesn’t even know of this mail yet. Right now he doesn’t have any access to it or know what’s going on.
Just goes to show that there’s a twisted lid for every twisted pot.
Gun Rights is part of woman Rights, only when both holding an AR-15 A 5’2 woman and a 6’5 muscular man literally have close to equivalent offensive power. I still don’t understand under which liberal principles should there be more gun control, gun rights bring equality, without guns strong men would dominate everyone.
Somebody else said what I said.

I have seen this story on the local TV news. It goes against the idea to minimize the “mass shootings”. Don’t do anything to make these killers famous. While Cruz never sees the letters, I’m sure he hears about them and it, in a perverted way, may encourage copycat crimes. These murderers seem to keep score and try to outdo each other. Notoriety is, in their perverse minds, is desirable outcome. Refer to them in generic terms, age, sex, etc. There is no news value to knowing the persons name, or see his image in the headlines. It only encourages others.
Since David Hogg is the greatest leader and human being since perhaps Abraham Lincoln or MLK, why no liberals in high places offer to give up their position and salary to Hogg? Why DNC doesn’t hire him as their chairman? Why Anderson Cooper or Morning Joe doesn’t offer their job and salary to Hogg, ain’t they bullies denying Hogg the job he deserves?
This is why when Americans and Westerners began passing out the Kool Aid that Hussein was our Messiah and a light will shine down upon us as sea levels change at his command, or that Merkel was the savior of Germany, or that Trum was the hero king to save conservatives in the US from HRC and Leftists, I didn’t dare jump on that band wagon.
I know where this train goes, seen it before.
