On a scale from 1-10, what influence did the following have on these murders?
(1 for little/no influence, 10 for significant influence)
Perpetrator was an orphan from his bio parents at age 2.
Perp's adoptive father died of heart attack, causing major loss to the family's earning potential.
After his dad died, the family made a major move down to Florida.

Perp was bullied at the school regularly.
Perp was a member of the JROTC and had received multiple awards for outstanding academic performance.

In attempts to deal with his behavior issues, he was transferred between schools six times in three years.
In 2014, he was transferred to a school for children with emotional or learning disabilities, and returned to Stoneman Douglas High School two years later.
The Florida Department of Children and Families investigated him in September 2016 for Snapchat posts in which he cut both his arms and said he planned to buy a gun.
State investigators reported Cruz had depression, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
After the State investigation, they assessed that he was not a risk.
Perp's YouTube videos included comments such as "I wanna die Fighting killing shit ton of people", threats against police officers and Antifa, and that he intended to mimic the University of Texas tower shooting.
Perp left a comment on another user's YouTube video on September 24, 2017, stating "Im going to be a professional school shooter", which prompted the user to report him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
According to FBI agent Robert Lasky, the FBI was unable to identify the commenter after conducting database reviews and checks. (His YouTube name is his actual name.) Mighty fine police work there.
Perp bragged about killing animals.
Perp and his girlfriend became physically-violent with each other.
Perp's girlfriend dumped him.
Perp was told by multiple students throughout his time at the school that he would be a school shooter.
Perp verbalized to many other witnesses that he planned to shoot up the school.
Perp was expelled from the school.
His girlfriend found a new boyfriend.
After numerous threats against the school, local and Federal LE investigators did not interview and confiscate any weapons from the perp, or charge him with making terrorist threats.
He had access to firearms and was able to legally purchase a rifle at age 19.
Within just the past few years, he has experienced life-changing events that result in most marriages falling apart, domestic violence, estrangement, and severe consequences for people who don't have autism and ADHD.
