The amount of fan mail the Parkland shooter is receiving is unreal

[SummerSnow]

CNN)It's an eerie pile of messages to a killer.

Postmarked from all over the United States and Europe, they are from women, girls and grown men. Some are handwritten, others are typed. They are written on college-ruled notebook paper and in fancy greeting cards with cartoons. Some are stuffed with sexually suggestive photos of women and teens in lingerie.

There's even a handwritten note from a Girl Scout troop in New Jersey, signed by more than a dozen girls. "May God Forgive," they wrote.

9. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

They should go on a list and be monitored, because they are obviously very sick and possibly dangerous. Who celebrates a mass killer and why?

10. Nobody Sends Me Fancy Cards, Suggestive Photos & Money

I guess we're all doing something wrong. Too bad he won't ever be able to touch a woman again, otherwise he would be set.
