Alleged school shooter Nikolas Cruz threatened to kill his ex girlfriend and was expelled after fighting with her new boyfriend, classmates revealed Thursday.
The reason he got expelled was because he was fighting with his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend, Connor Dietrich, 17, a junior at Floridas Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, told The Post.
He stalked her and threatened her. He was like, Im going to kill you, and he would say awful things to her and harass her to the point I would walk her to the bus just to make sure she was OK. We all made sure she was never alone.

Tina Meier's description of Lori Drew at the 20:40 mark describes Nikolas Cruz. There is also Investigation Discovery Web Of Lies Friend Request. In both cases, they are consumed by envy and are negativistic. They are very resentful and unhappy people. They are perpetual victims. They were avoided by people. Meier's description of Drew is also similar to Jodi Arias, Yoselyn Ortega, David and Louise Turpin, Howell Donaldson, Stephen Paddock, Devin Kelley, Omar Mateen, Seung-Hui Cho, Adam Lanza, Eric Harris, Elliot Rodger, and Osama bin Laden.
I found this dissertation to be really interesting.
'A Psychoanalytic View of the Psychopath'
http://www.yorku.ca/rweisman/courses/sosc6890/pdf/meloypaper-psychopathy.pdf
I don't know definitively if NC is a psychopath, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he is.
Anyway, the linked essay talks about how the characteristics of a psychopath are fueled by the absence of emotional attachment to others.
It says, "attachment is a biologically-based, species-specific behavioral system which serves the survival of the infant by maintaining the closeness of the caretaker... it is deeply rooted in mammals, but absent in reptiles." (Oddly enough, this is the reason some psychology professionals refer to that empty eyed look of his as a "reptilian stare".)
"Bowlby (1969) regarded the elements of detachment to be apathy, self-absorption, preoccupation with nonhuman objects, and no displays of emotion. He initially described it as affectionless psychopathy in a sample of juvenile thieves, and believed it was caused by constant maternal rejection.
"Raine, Brennan, and Mednick (1997) demonstrated in a large cohort of Danish adult males that birth complications and maternal rejection during the first year of life predisposed them to the early onset and sustained patterns of violent criminality. Gacono and Meloy (1994) found in multiple samples of antisocial children, adolescents, and adults that the texture response, a Rorschach measure of attachment, was less frequent than in normal samples. Meloy (1988) described this measure as a somatosensory analog for early skin contact with the mother, the first means of affectional relatedness and perhaps the genesis of secure attachment, albeit missing in the psychopath."
(Depending on the amount of time that passed between NC's birth and his adoption - as I've seen conflicting reports about this - he may not have received sufficient affection during early infancy, which could have led to a failure of attachment.)
"Sadism, the experience of pleasure through the dominance and suffering of another, is most clinically evident in childhood cruelty toward animals, particularly domestic pets. The infliction of suffering is the childs attempt to defend against his own helplessness through the exercise of omnipotent control over another object. Gleyzer, Felthous and Holzer (2002) showed that a history of animal cruelty is significantly associated with an adult diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder and polysubstance abuse."
"What is emotionally absent in the psychopath is most important. More mature feelings that require whole object relatedness and a capacity for secure attachment are missing. These include anger, fear, guilt, depression, sympathy, jealousy, gratitude, empathy, remorse, sadness, loneliness, and reciprocal joyemotions that are broad, deep, and complex. Instead, the emotional life of the psychopath centers on his internal management of envy (Kernberg, 1984) and shame (Kohut, 1968), two affects that often precede intentional destruction of the object in
real life. The damaged object diminishes envy since there are no longer any qualities worth possessing; the damaged object diminishes shame since it can no longer threaten as a source of humiliation."
