Seeing that monster be unmoved by the suffering he inflicted upon so many shows he has neither empathy or remorse & has no place in civilized society. It’s sad they jury failed to provide real justice to these precious families. I have a feeling, as he said, someone will take up the cause & steal his ‘fame.’ As some who’s lost a family member to a murderer I empathize with them on a level I hope no one else ever has to suffer the pain of knowing.

Four.

I've watched (from a long way away, in Australia) most of the statements of the families of those killed, all of them spoke well, made well structured, articulate statements that really hit home to most people. They also showed their rightful anger at the murderer, the shameful defence team, and the "justice system". But that murderer is not like most people, he doesn't care of their pain, suffering and loss. He has no idea, no comprehension of such things. If anything, in his twisted mind their statements validated his actions. But this guy, Joaquim's father, he got to him. He said the things that really got into his head. You can see it in his eyes. The loss of "fame", the fact he will die in pain, and that after everything, no one will care about him. Well done Mr Oliver, Sir. You have my respect, and you all have my deepest condolences. I lost my son just before his 16th birthday, so I think I understand your pain.

Such a tragedy. All the kids lives lost and their families left to grieve. Joaquin Oliver was such a beautiful boy. He was so handsome but listening to how his family and friends speak of him shows truly how beautiful he was. His parents are so gracious. I can’t imagine such loss. They are in my prayers as well as all of the other families who so tragically lost their babies way too soon.

Every parent should love their child THIS MUCH!! You honored your son today with words I will never forget!!

This father has been so vocal in gun reform since this happened. I’m pretty sure they put him last on purpose bc he doesn’t like to censor himself at all and says it like it is. I’m really impressed with the composure he had here. I really wanted someone to just tear into him. So many had such deep impactful statements. I don’t think I had a dry eye for any of them.

It's not the guns. It's the people. Don't blame guns. The people that want to take out guns themselves have armed security guards. Guns are just objects. We have background checks already no matter what the left wants you to believe. The 2nd amendment is already limited to much right now.

My heart goes out to the victims of this tragic loss. As parents we carry their burden and must do better as a society to take all measures in preventing such horrible events. Our children need us more now than ever.

If I could find a way to carry some of his burden, I would, the best I could do was quietly listen from start to finish. This showed up at random today, and this comment allows me the closure to shut down peacefully. 🤘

I’m glad he made the other families smile a little ❤

How he held in tears is beyond me. I couldn’t stand still saying all of this without crying thinking of my child. This guy is something else.

I lost a brother in a car accident also.. he was 16yrs old. I was 11 at the time. Jacob Harris. He was killed in a police chase that he wasn't involved in, at all . Cop crossed 3 lanes into oncoming traffic to go around my brother in the center lane as he was turning left.. Just the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, and one jacked up hillbilly cop from a small town excited to finally see some action lol.. anyways, I turned 30 February of this year. Really sorry for your loss brother🙏

Dylan Brean was a friend of mine and coworker for 4 months. He died in a forklift accident at 21. Very sad.

All of the fathers speaking so passionately about their love for their murdered children is just overwhelming. God bless and heal the souls of the families.🙏🏻

I love this man. The love he has for his precious son that is lost because of a monster. And the restraint he showed. I don't think I would have the strength that all these families of the victims are showing. God bless each and every family member and friends with comfort and peace. I unfortunately know the heart break of losing a child. My son in 2012. The pain is always with you, but God is our greatest comfort. I pray for every one of you who lost your loved ones that horrific day. 💙❤️🙏🙏

Sir as a father an amazing statement. My condolences to you and your family

This father's words were powerful and the pauses between sentences made his words more stronger and to the point - If this father was my teacher when I was a kid I would of paid attention in class how can anyone not listen to what he had to say - So sorry for your loss so senseless my prayers are with your son and family may he rest in peace 🌹

I can’t fathom how much pain this mans endured and I hope I never have to - Bless all the family affected ❤

the strength all of the parents showed facing the murderer of their children.. is quite profound.

Absolutely beautiful and eloquent statement. It was perfect. Love his voice, soft and so powerful.🙏

Mad respect to this man !! Mr. Oliver . Your son is really proud of you 👏 I'm so sorry for your loss and your family and the families of the victims 😢

I am so very sorry and have incredible respect for you...Powerful words...HUGS

This man’s heart is broken beyond words, I can feel and know his pain.

Holy moly! What a statement 🙌 you sir have done your son proud by your words. The little weasel who killed your son will definitely remember them and will spend his days wondering when that time will be that someone will come to “steal his fame”. Bravo sir!

Wow just wow what a powerful statement! My heart hurts for these parents 💔

So glad this dear man spoke! He needed to speak and we needed to hear.

1:05 seeing them smiling makes me so happy yet so sad. I’m so glad they were able to lean on each other through all this.

Powerful speech . Everyone in that courtroom heard every word .

The middle finger gesture was greatly appreciated

I admire each one of the victims and their families. I see so much pain and suffering but they've got so much courage and love for each one. I've thought about them almost every single day and because of this shooting, I kept my little sister home if there was even a hint of violence at her school. I couldn't handle losing her. Shes been with me since she was born

So, so very sorry for your loss, Sir! None of you deserve what has happened to you and the other families! Your impact statement was moving yet defiant! Admire yours, your Joaquin, your family and all the families resilience in the face of absolute evil! Wish you and all the families every success, peace, or whatever you need, to try to get through, taking each day as it arrives 😊

When I look at him sitting there I get this overwhelming urge to punch him in the face.

I feel terrible for all these families. I’m left without words. No words.

I can't even imagine the pain this man has endured. It's devastating and so very sad.

What an eloquent and genuine man. Spoken from the heart. What a wonderful family they must have been with Joaquin.

May god heal this beautiful soul. I am so sorry for your loss Mr. Oliver.

May your son and all the victims rest in eternal peace. I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤

I have such respect for the parents, family members and friends of the victims. And all of the survivors. And for everyone everywhere even having to hear of this all and being effected by this even from great distances. I am glad this gentleman came to the court and spoke of course that goes for all of the parents who spoke. My broken heart goes out to all of you. Thank you sir for stepping forward.💔
