I don't understand how it was considered felony embezzlement. You have to steal over a certain amount to make it go from a misdemeanor to a felony (it's different in each state... But usually at least $600+) and if you have never had any charges before they usually drop it to something smaller. So how a VHS even with fees could get that high is beyond me.

I used to manage a video store in a small town and yes, I’m that old and we rented VHS tapes. I never turned anyone over to the police though. You figure say the one video is 4.00 a day to rent and if the customer keeps it a year the charges would be well over 1,000.00. We would have customers insist they returned a movie even if the movie was missing and they were the last one to rent it. There was really nothing to do because I would never turn a customer over to the police and we just absorbed the cost but it was very irritating. But not felony irritating!

I'd hoped it had a happy ending. But judging by the pitiful care she received, they probably didn't try to save her baby either time. If I was pregnant & had just passed away, I'd consider anyone who saved my baby a hero. Even if a random stranger used a penknife to cut the baby out. I'm left fuming at the authorities.

I had my ID changed, mailed the DMV a letter and several forms and it never stopped. Then my sister moved and I’ve been left wondering if it’s been continuing ever since..

That last story was so horrible, I couldn’t even imagine being that husband and you learn that she wasn’t dead after going through all those emotions and then you feel probably the greatest feeling ever by knowing your wife is actually alive but then to only lose her again and then go through all the ‘what if’s’ and ‘if only’ so all of that now stacked up on grieving again😭😢

@joy n, ya bro I would have to agree!

The first story actually spooked me a bit because I'm from Oklahoma and I've always felt that I probably owed some late fees to Blockbuster when they closed because I was still in the process of contesting an enormous late fee for something I never rented. That's so lovely. I don't think I've got an "Oklahoma problem" like she did but the story definitely has me wondering. 😆

Za'Zell's story is just heartbreaking. It wasn't enough to victimize her, he had victimize her children as well. Christmas will probably never be a happy occasion for her babies after that. That story makes me so angry. I hope that her children are able to heal--especially her girls who are likely to remember it. Those poor babies. :(

@@chrisyu327 I can understand how a man especially would hit a woman he loves (or used to love). Some women can be so evil even Jesus would be scared or be in tears to be in a relationship with them. Manipulation can really cause someone to snap. I just got out of an emotionally abusive, filled with venom and huge tons of lies relationship and I sometimes I wish I had just punched that girl into a coma. Never did get to express my physical violence on her. Loved her very much but for whatever reason, I wasn't the guy she wanted. I did everything for her, even getting her a job but she kept comparing me to her cheating ex and even cheated on me severally with him and others (evidence from her phone). I always got pity sex and you have no idea how frustrating that is. Especially before learning things like red pill or alpha widow nature. I sit down sometimes and remember the things I endured that would even make my friends laugh at me, that I'm either very stupid or I am the most patient person in the world. But they'd quickly follow it up with, you're a very intelligent person so you're obviously not stupid. I'm an engineer by the way (to explain the "intelligence"). The traditional nonsense that everyone who have never been in abusive (emotionally, not physical) relationship is to always tell a man to be patient. Be the bigger person. Fuck that shit. Fuck, I tried to self-delete myself several times, I am f**king rich as compared to my colleagues I sat in the same engineering classes with but I was miserable simply because I wanted to stay faithful to one woman who couldn't respect me. Everyone, my aunts, my own parents, her side of the family always told me to be the patient man. Years I endured this shit and I have receipts from going to a therapist to prove this. Multiple therapy sessions. I could've just done the worst and ended up in jail, probably be enduring shit in there but be happy I expressed my anger. Until recently that her true lying devilish nature came out, the only thing I ever got from anyone is that "oh you're such a patient man". I am not. I have murdered that girl in so many different ways in my mind. So many different ways. When it was time for her to leave my place, I went and called the police to come and bear witness to her packing her belongings, only for them to refuse to turn up at the very last minute with all forms of excuses. I later found out from a colleague, even they could get in trouble for touching a woman or some nonsense of that kind. I sometimes have my whole body visibly shaking just remembering some of the things I had to live through and endure. I am a broken man, and if you haven't been in my shoes you have no idea. I am lonely sometimes. Living all alone in a big house with everything to make a family possible, with money to travel anywhere I want. I have the freedom to travel (software engineer - remote work) but I am not able to. I buy new servers and computing tools just to play with at home. I do a whole lot of things to keep myself busy at night but after I've successfully done all of these things, I get reminded that I am lonely. A girl who has been taking naked pics of me when I sleep at night over the course of the years. If not because the nakedness of a man does not go too far, she's been preparing all these years for when the relationship would go to hell so she can disgrace me. The only thing that stopped her, is her family and the threat of me suing her with all I've got until she rots in jail forever. I want to be a husband, I want to be a good father, but with what I've experienced, I wonder what I did wrong to anyone to deserve any of this. I wonder if I'm cursed. I'm trying my very best not to go into any other relationship until next year. I don't think I am fit to be a man in any woman's life right now. I'll continue my therapy sessions and hopefully, God will help me with a woman who will appreciate my efforts. I do not support or condone any stupid thing a man does to a woman, like ZaZell's husband has done to her, I'm just saying, I can understand what could push a man to doing it. I feel fortunate I didn't do it, but I sometimes feel very angry I didn't do it either.

It’s horrific enough that he murdered his wife and mother of his children. But what makes this story so much worse is how he positioned her body on the sofa and made the children believe she had done something wrong when in reality he had murdered her in cold blood and made his children sit with her body. Those poor children 💔

The story about Za'Zell hit me so hard. It was like you were telling the story of my childhood Christmas's with my Mom and stepdad William. They always had horrible fights around holidays. I remember one Christmas Eve they fought and a gun got brought out. I could have very easily wound up like her kids. I try not to think about it and delude myself that it wasn't that bad. Hearing it from an outsider perspective really put it in perspective for me. Kids should never have to go through that. I guess my brother and I are very lucky we didn't have to bury one parental figure and watch another go to jail. Thank you for telling Za'Zells's story. Victims need others to be their voice.

I'd have thrown the book at him and gone for the max which should have been LIFE (if not death!). They usually only plea down when they think there's a chance they'll lose the case but with his stupid story about her "falling into the coffee table" and putting sunglasses on her, they had to have had a tightly wrapped-up case without his confession. I'm sure her family and friends were so sick over that nothing sentence he got for what he did to her AND orphaning those 3 innocent kids....one only 7 weeks old! He makes me sick and I want to wish him to burn in Hell but I know as a Christian I'm not supposed to feel that way, but it's hard not to! I know Jesus will make him pay for what he did.

Just heard the end of that story and holy crap that might be one of the worst things I've ever heard! What a selfish, abusive piece of garbage that William is!

I love these videos, but I also have to say that I love the background you chose for the first story!! Downtown Norman is such a fun place to go! 😄

That's why I wanted the Schrute family tradition of making sure the dead is already dead before burying :3

I would like to congratulate Karen for surviving a Mrballen video! You are one of a brave few.

I live in Norman, OK. I remember hearing about the lady with the VHS a while back. Does not surprise me that she was never notified. A few years ago, I got pulled over driving a vehicle that had an expired tag and no insurance. This was because, at the time, my primary transportation gad given up the ghost, and my project truck was all I had. Unfortunately, I didn't have the money to get it legal, but I still needed to work. I just figured I'd take care of everything on payday. Didn't work out that way, unfortunately. Fast forward about two years, I get stopped in my new car, and when the cop runs my info, he tells me I'm driving on a suspended license. Apparently, the state had suspended my license when I got stopped in the truck two years earlier, and they never notified me about it. Wound up costing me almost 700 dollars I'm fines and fees, which would never have happened if they had notified me of the suspension

Same thing happened to me. I got a ticket for an out headlight. I was unemployed at the time so on a payment plan. I was exactly one day late on a payment, which apparently suspended my license. This was in April. I went to get my license updated after I got married, which is when I found out it was suspended. Gee, thanks for never telling me. -_-

Ny did the same to me. I found out when I was getting papers together for marriage license. The dmv never received my payment, found out neighbor was stealing mail in the building, so they just suspended me without notice. Few hundred dollars and many choice words for the county clerk and it was straightened out. Such a hassel

We love you Mr Ballen- thank you for your service and storytelling!

That last story felt like a sledgehammer fit me right in the chest. That’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard. That poor sweet young woman and her husband + family. That tore my heart out.

@@borahmousam6332 and that she ran out of oxygen literally minutes before they were able to get her out since the husband heard her still screaming for help right before that. That's probably the most devastating part, knowing she could've been saved if someone herd her like half an hour earlier. Sadly the husband probably will blame himself forever that he didn't go just a little bit earlier, not that it's his fault but he'll always see it as such in his mind.

I love your stories mr Ballen, I just came across your channel and I have to say that I love your stories and they way you deliver them, I’m from Honduras and I genuinely hadn’t heard the story on this video, Im shocked anyhow, my country is full of stories like that though, shocking and scary.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR ENORMOUS EFFORT, WE LOVE YOU , I LOVE YOU

I miss Mr Ballen uploading “3, 4, sometimes even 5 times a week”! Your stories are the absolute best, so much so that I have rewatched all of them at least 3 times now! Your content is top notch! Can always imagine all the stories visually dancing in my mind. Thank you for all of your content, you are without a doubt the MVP of KZread! 🏆

Me too I’m so tired of being hounded with news about COVID and cdc warning and now monkeypox and the miserable heatwave and fire in California. And of course a war MrBallen is a breath of fresh air away from all the toxic media coverage

When I was in high school I read a story in the old “Tales from the Crypt” magazine. The story was about a man who suddenly drops dead on the street. He later wakes up in a coffin buried alive. The man had suffered what the magazine called a cataleptic fit which gave the appearance of death. After reading the story, I asked myself, “Could this ever happen to somebody in real life?” Mr. Ballen just answered that question for me. Horrific is hardly the word.

I think embalming the dead person eliminates that possibility. But obviously Honduras doesn't embalm.

I adore MrBallen, like so many others. Love the stories and how he tells them. Some of my FAVORITE parts of his videos are when he's incorporating an Ad into his video. Many times I'm still laughing by the time he begins telling the story again and I just...can't...help it. Especially when he aggressively "spits"🤣. Or when he starts laughing at himself and what he's saying about the "Like" button. And what's up with his Amazon Podcast only having 13 reviews?? They're 5 star but 13? Fellow Mr Ballen watcher's, we MUST start supporting his Podcasts on Amazon AND elsewhere. TELL....EVERYONE. I noticed SOME are being posted on KZread as well now but I just hate seeing so little support on Amazon for him, which is where I listen to his Podcasts.You're a great storyteller MrBallen. Thank you for all the hard work you do so we are able to enjoy these stories every week--Nadine Parks

I thought my KZread was filtering your videos so I couldn’t see them. I’m so glad you’re back and I checked, hope you’re mentally/physically okay so is your family. Now, excuse me while I mess up that like button on all the videos I missed!

At one point, my great-grandparents lived near a cemetery in Italy more than a century ago. As a child, I heard more than one story of villagers who had accidentally been buried alive, including two who had made their way out of it (burial wasn't as formal with big, heavy caskets, etc.). That had to have been hell on earth.
