An Open Letter to the Florida School Shooter

[heydaralon]

Nikolas,

You don't know me, but you can call me Hwen. I am very disappointed in your actions. You put school property at risk, and the responding officers who took the call all drink from the public trough, and thus the taxpayers took a major financial hit when they responded to the call. You are not well, and some people might call you a sick little bastard. I would not disagree with the wedlock description, because your disgusting behavior would not have happened if your mother saved herself for marriage. However, I do disagree with the little part. In your photos, you appear to be about 5'4''. If this is true, you have about 2 inches on me. We are not little. In Mexico, that would put us above average. In ancient Greece, we would probably be about average height, though we would know more than they would about thermodynamics or the NFL, because those people lived before the 24 hour news cycle. It would take a Plato or Sophocles several years to find out who won the Superbowl, assuming it did not take place in Greece and happened somewhere like Thrace or Asia Minor. Times have changed, and information and the media has happened far faster than either of us could have predicted. It is from this rapid media cycle that I found out about your revolting crimes and I used the Greek references because before Constantine of Rome, K was used in place of a C. Normally your name would be spelled like Nicholas, although I am sure your parents wanted to pay homage to the pre-C era of ancient Greece, a nod to Virgil and John Byron (a poet famous for writing Esio Trot and the Twits) and chose to give you a more fancy first name. I can't say I blame them. I read Yeats before I knew how to bike, and I have always considered myself quite cerebral. You are the opposite, because you did something horrible and stupid. What were you thinking dude?

The purpose of this letter is to let you know that you are at the edge of the abyss, and are about to reach a point of no redemption. You are still young, and you may think that this sort of behavior is acceptable. Let me tell you, it is not. If you do not shape up, you will find yourself in serious trouble. Please do not think I am being dramatic to scare you. Yes, you don't have any serious priors, and yes, you will probably be of jail in six months, once the appeals court overturns the verdict, but six months is a long time, especially for such a young man.
During your time in jail, you should think of positive ways to re-integrate yourself into society. You have your whole life in front of you, and it would be quite a tragedy to have it end on such a horrible note. If you ever shoot up a school again, the judge will probably throw the book at you. You may spend 5-10 years in prison on your second offense. Judges do not like seeing the same faces time and again[sic]. Consider this a wake up call. Start doing the right thing. Killing anyone is wrong. With a good lawyer, you can probably get your record expunged, but in Florida, felons cannot vote. I have little doubt that voting in primaries and elections has been a dream of yours from a young age, and this be a body blow to your political future determining aspirations. This is a very important point for me to hammer home. You will not get to vote in Florida if you have any felony convictions. You read that right. Smarten up, and stop shooting high schoolers. This is so unacceptable that I am feeling physically ill. You had it all. Two dead parents, and you were on the way to making Dean's list at Jefferson Davis High School. You threw it all away, and will have to answer for your crimes. They don't have good tv in jail, so missing the Women's Basketball playoffs will act as a deterrent for copycat criminals. Although they could wait until the playoffs are over, and then do it, so there is a problem with my theory. If you have any close friends they could DVR it, but I'm guessing you are a loner (sorry I spelled loser wrong! You just got owned worse than Dred Scott post verdict). I would not want to DVR Women's basketball games for someone who shot 17 people, and despite my keen interest in the sport, I would avoid watching the games so that if you asked me who won, I would not be lying when I said I didn't watch them. I am willing to sacrifice person athletic interests to make sure that you learn that killing innocent people is not ok even in 2018. President Trump may be the worst president since Franklin Eleano (quoth the Raven Never More) Roosevelt, but that doesn't you can behave violently towards others. You give our State a bad name you deliquent piece of trash.

I am 39 years old, and have always had trouble in the Romance department. I even went to an Gilmore Girls reunion tour to meet members of the opposite sex, but the only sex I had was with my hand when I masturbated in my Days Inn room to an extremely erotic scene from the William Hurt film body heat. Mickey Rourke's quote stood out with me, "That's my advice anyway Counselor, don't do it!" You should have watched this film and taken the message to heart before your abhorrent rampage. Maybe you were sex deprived and that's why you did what you did. That pitiful excuse won't work on a jury. And let me tell you, it doesn't get easier. Girls do not date guys who are really into Harry Potter novels to an unhealthy degree the way I am. I even carved the lightning bolt into my forehead with an x-acto knife. It does not look like Daniel Radcliffe's so I grew my bangs out to cover it up. These girls who rejected me are called muggles. They are the Vernon Dursleys of the world, and are completely unimaginative. Because of this constant rejection to this day, I started a bro-mance and subsequent bro-mosexual relationship with one of my Everquest friendsters. He happens to be black, but a racist white nationalist who has proven ties to Richard Spencer and Jordan Peterson's hate groups like you do would probably be unable to connect with someone of a different race. Since this chatroulette erotica has begun, I have stopped having nocturnal emissions which has cut my laundry detergent bill in half. He is 51 years old and lives in another state, replete with draconian laws against bakery buying for alternative lifestyles, so our whirlwind relationship has been kept a secret. Let me tell you, I was swept off my feet! In jail, despite your brief sentence, you may discover the rugged and enchanting beauty of a grown man's ass. The ass hairs, especially if unwashed, secrete an amorous odor that will cause even the most hetero among us to question their sexual orientation. Considering that you are already experiencing a severe identity crisis, this transition will not be so hard to make.

I have wondered what went on in your mind after your mass shooting. What did you order at McDonald's? You strike me as a man who would probably order something off the dollar menu, and ignore many of the other amazing options. Filet of Fish is barely scratching the surface, and the salads are actually quite low on sodium, assuming you ignore the servings and do not base this on a 2000 calorie per day diet, but a growing boy needs to eat. Did you know Mcdonald's offers fruit with its Happy Meals? Consider yourself informed now, Nikolaus. If you had just gone to McDonald's instead of harming innocents, you would have time to fully check out the menu and make a truly wise decision on what to eat. Now, you will probably only be able to eat bologna sandwiches or ramen from the jail canteen. Unlike McDonald's salads, these items are full of sodium and will cause your blood pressure to spike! You deserve that, and worse you sick son of a bitch.

When you get out of jail, you need to make things right. The families of your victims will never recover from their loss, but time heals all wounds. Small acts of kindness, like mowing the lawns of the parents, or taking their trash out to the curb will do wonders to show that you are truly sorry for what you did. Cards never made a bad situation worse, and a thoughtful handwritten message will help break the ice. Rome wasn't built in a day, and friendship blossoms, the spring of a bond after the winter of tragedy. Use that line in your apology note if you want! I won't complain!

I do not like you, but I think there is still hope. David Berkowitz aka The Boston Strangler, underwent a prison redemption and became a force for good. You could go around lecturing at high schools about the dangers of firearms and push Congress for a full repeal of the Second Amendment. You will never live down your crimes, so you need to live up your positive influence on society. Volunteer at the public library, and return your guns for cash through government programs. Pick up litter at public parks, read to the blind, sing to the deaf. Make society a better place than you found it. Eat, like, and pray. I have never owned a gun or even pepperspray, and would not even harm a moth [sic]. Take a page from my book, because yours has a shitty ending. Stop the hate, and stop the violence. In the final word's of John Singleton's masterful film Higher Education: UNLEARN.


Sincerely,

Daralon Hoshimo

Well you can write him in prison. Since he's a White Nationalist mestizo our White Nationalist networks will be reaching out to the Florida police for how to pad his commissary account soon.

LORD POLONIUS
This business is well ended.
My liege, and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
Why day is day, night night, and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night, day and time.
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief: your noble son is mad:
Mad call I it; for, to define true madness,
What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
But let that go.

[de officiis]

I hope you've found a way to turn your writing talent into some dough.

I think this letter made an impact on Nikolas' troubled mind. He has not shot anyone else since it has been published, and I hope that guy cleans up his act. No one got seriously hurt this time, but he is on a path of destruction that could cost lives. It makes me angry that he was able to get an assault rifle for free through Trump's new bill. He didn't even have to show an ID, he literally went to the Republican headquarters and they gave him bullets and a dangerous weapon. Sickening! Fuck Nick Cruz! Scumbag...
