The Florida teen accused shooting and killing 17 people at his former high school on Wednesday was reportedly in a private group chat on Instagram where he regularly discussed his hatred of African Americans and Jewish people and openly talked about his desire to commit murder.
Nikolas Cruz, who allegedly confessed to Wednesday’s shooting saying ‘demon voices’ told him how to pull off the massacre, was one of the members added to ‘Murica (American flag emoji) (eagle emoji) great’, a group chat where hatred and violence were often the main topics of discussion.
According to CNN, Cruz joined the private chat around August 2017 and mainly conversed with five of its members. The outlet reports that most of the people in the chat appear to be younger than 18 and refused to reveal their identities.
CNN also reports that Cruz was the one who gave the chat its name.
In one message Cruz sent to the group the 19-year-old reportedly discussed his hatred for ‘jews, n******, immigrants’. He also talked about killing Mexicans and keeping black people in chains and cutting their necks.
One member reportedly joked about Cruz’s hatred toward African Americans writing that he hated black people, too, but not ‘to a point I wanna kill the (sic) like nick’.
Cruz told the members that he did not like black people simply because they were black. He said his dislike for Jewish people was because he believed they wanted to destroy the world.
In one message, Cruz told the members that his birth mother was Jewish and said he was glad he never met her. Cruz was adopted by Roger and Lynda Cruz when he was a child.
Lynda died in November after getting sick with the flu and pneumonia. Roger died from a heart attack in 2004. Following the deaths of his adoptive parents, Cruz was taken in by James and Kimberly Snead, and their 17-year-old son, who went to school with Cruz.
The confessed killer also expressed his hatred for gay people, at one point writing that they should be shot ‘in the back of the head’.
