Yeah, I remember the whole McSkillet controversy. The police officers in question actually had the ability to hold Trevor for a day in custody under the pretense of having a psychiatric evaluation performed by professionals, but for some odd reason, they chose not to, instead placing the onus on the family to try and look after him while they were already struggling with finding a psychiatrist to see him on such short notice. Personally I think those officers kinda dropped the ball for the aforementioned reasons, though given the fact that I am unfamiliar with big city police procedures due to being a lifelong country boy, I cannot say whether they intentionally bungled this mess up or simply made a bad judgment call on their part without realizing until far too late how badly it would get.

The rumor (without proof) that they went out for drinks was just that a rumor but his crush wouldn't stop pursuing him. I truly believe that he should have won a temporarily insanity case and got probation and not prison, his crush knew he wasn't gay but didn't care he still tried to force his lifestyle on an innocent straight man.

This July 4th, an extremist furry in our fandom set up an IED in the middle of a crowd in downtown NC and thank goodness the bombs didn't go off, but he did get charged with "intent of deadly force of weapons of mass destruction". I heard he got out of jail on bail, and that's the scariest thought. The good thing is that now the entire fandom knows about him and there are BOLOs directed at him in our fandom.

I was initially confused, as the commentary suggests that it is Schmitz who is initially pictured sitting on stage with the large girl who is obviously the encouraging friend, and that Amedure is the one being brought out from backstage - so when he is the one later being shown in handcuffs (as well as being named in caption as Schmitz), the context becomes murky..

Wait you feel sorry for the murderer? (Unless I have the names mixed up) Shouldn’t you feel sorry for the victim? Like what the heck, homophobic jerk killed that poor guy. Why would you feel sorry for him?

The game company's response to Trevor McClaren's death is one of the most appalling things I've ever heard of when it comes to a corporate response. How old were those execs, seven?!?!?

Nope, just incredibly selfish. He wasn't doing anything wrong, but of course corporate greed got the best of the CS Execs. This story was one of the reasons I stopped playing, I don't wanna incorporate myself with garbage people. Trevor did a horrible thing, but he wasn't well (as a depressive person, I understand). But the corporate pigs are to blame for it. And then they decide to pay "tribute" to him, bullshit. Still hoping to this day CS loses all of its audience.

@@JohnSacapano ik im necro-ing this but y'all really don't know what you are waffling about. The map "Engage" (featured in Operation Broken Fang) was not made by Valve and McSkillet's logo was not included there because of corporate greed. I am under the impression that Joel did not do enough research, so let me clear some things up. Engage was made by a community mapper "catfood" and 2 other persons, Valve used to regularly accept community-made content into CS:GO (maps, weapon skins and gun stickers among others) and they used to pay the creators huge sums for it aswell, so the scene was flourishing. catfood could have included McSkillet's logo as an easter egg/homage or something, or it could just be a coincidence. But the gist is that Valve is lazy with quality control and almost never checks for stuff like this in community made content. So they are partly responsible for the controversy, but they did not do it out of greed, that's for sure

it's pretty crazy to think if that garbage truck was on time, she would have never been found and declared dead. they may have just listened her as 'missing' and never spent time trying to make an arrest.😳

If you have a family member in a severe psychiatric episode, don't just send for police. Tell 9/11 you need an ambulance, too. Police are looking for a crime and if there isn't one, they aren't likely to intervene. They will happily pass it off to an ambulance who can get your loved one to a hospital, where they can be held in a psychiatric unit where they can be seen by a doctor who can recommend the next course of treatment.

If you call the police on a loved one who is in a psychiatric episode without requesting an ambulance here, your loved one will not survive the encounter. I'm sorry you're such a simp for the police that you make excuses for unnecessary deadly force, but again, that's a you problem. Please, go troll someone else. You can't change the statistics with your little comment box posts, so take your misery elsewhere.

I love these type of videos. Idk why but to me it makes the story more tense and personal when you can put a face to the people the story’s are about. Maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

I've heard all these stories before but never with the detail that you have given them they sound like new stories to me thanks once again

The first video is truly chilling. It goes to show you the depths of human depravity. What’s even worse, is the lack of humanity that exists in some men who stalk the objects of their obsessions. Humans have an animal instinct that warns us of imminent danger and a person’s intentions. If your gut tells you that you’re in danger, believe it.

Its cool that you change the format of your videos. Keep up the great content and consistancy! Much love

bless this channel for the content it uploads.

The Marathon Bombing was one of those events that you remember where you were when it happened. I had the day of the Marathon off but my gf at the time had to work at the ritzy Health Club. I remember hanging out in the lobby area waiting for her to finish up when I noticed a news report come on.

I'm truly sad that these sick people are still able to get out of prison eventually. They should be sentenced to death. Sorry for all these victims.

Dude I love all your uploads! And appreciate your topics, research and narration! VERY cool topic!

I love these types of videos the most, thank you.

This one really hits home for me since I was living in Massachusetts at the time of the marathon bombing and due to unforeseen circumstances did not go to the marathon on that day which kept me and my husband from being right at the sight where the bombs went off on Boylston Street. Someone was definitely looking out for us that day.

You can tell John wasn't feeling that hug on stage from Scott. He just played it off for tv and himself sake.

Actually, I'm very surprised to be saying that it was not the show's fault (having listened to the facts provided). The young man kept his composure on the show, hugged the admirer, declared himself heterosexual (politely declining romantic advances), and apparently was well behaved on a get-together or "date" (organized by the show as well). What sent him over the edge, was the "explicit" note that the admirer chose to put on his front door. That was a PERSONAL choice, an action taken by the dead man, and not one that had been encouraged on or arranged by the show. It is tragic and he is indeed guilty of murder, but all of this still could have played out in real life. Legally, and ultimately, the Jenny Jones show was not responsible -- the individuals were.

@@tablescissors I would disagree, not solely responsible but they need to own some of it. These questions/subjects are on purpose triggering. To cover their ass for liability, guests need to be at least slight aware of what they may be talking about. You don’t know who is going to snap or what will be the push over point. Hindsight, I understand, especially during the 90s, but current year - that show was deeeefinitely liable.

Correction to the first story, it was Macon the city, not macon the county. (There are both in Georgia, and they're pretty far from each other.) I'm from there; we drove down the road the dumpster was on the day before they found her. We all commented on the smell and not knowing what it could be. It's shocking to have that happen so close to home. And very sad, she was so young and had so much ahead of her.
