Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

Parkland, Fla. February 14, 2018 One more senseless mass homicide twas the sole arbitrary aim as a former student nonchalantly sauntered empty hallways seconds preceding blame brazenly intent to maximize total killed matter of factly telling police (his incomprehensible) (ill) logic he did explain when cornered, he willingly, unflinchingly, reticently admitted guilt Nikolas Cruz rocketed to instantaneous infamous fame pulling a fire alarm ("FAKE") emergency, then going leisurely ambling along his killing spree total of seventeen slain (comprising 3 faculty and 14 students) mercilessly gunned down as if they were wild game when handcuffed, an innocuous 19 year old did readily admit emptying one firearm after another at a fairly rapid clip then at some predestined or spurious moment didst dip and dive out amidst the chaotic madding crowd before reality flopped then did flip as lower teeth he nervously bit upper lip made feeble getaway at a nearby eatery casually flirted with cashier and made no move to flit upon his seizure as cornered prey subsequently large tract massively cordoned off strong arm of the law slightly halting in speech detailed his gambit deliberately staking a stance to maximize hit and once again afflicted parents lit up with rancor and rage pit toughly battling sorrow which will not quit til death doth bring peaceful rest sans, those grieving family visit.
