This is a terrible interview. Clearly this man is shocked. CBS, you really need to stop interviewing people in their worst moments. It's just not right. Have some compassion.
Like90 they need to leave these people the hell alone it's just inappropriate. Obviously they're traumatized too and this brilliant bimbo won't stop harassing him.
Wow, you guys are scumbags. What could you possibly have expected him to say? Not only did he find out his brother murdered a bunch of people, but you guys actually expected him to apologize for crimes he didn't commit? Not only that, he wasn't even mentally prepared to provide you all with details. Just shameful...
tHeShadyLuGia because he obviously feels the need to clear his man and ensure everyone that he wasnt part of the plan to kill as many random people as possible.
Aeolus i agree 100%! A few years back my cousin in florida killed my aunt and uncle, went on the run and then shot himself when police pulled him over for doing an illegal Uturn. The story went worldwide. Media is is HORRIBLE! I dont even live in florida and their news stations completely bombarded me. Everyday got phone calls, emails, texts, fb messages etc. I honestly think florida has THE WORST media personnel. They even went as far as calling literally 20 minutes after finding out. I feel SO BAD for this guy. They should be ashamed for grilling him. Lastly, whomever it was that was trying to get him to apologize for his brothers actions should be fired!
AD NYC I'm not sure he will. They might have been very close at one point in life, but from what I've heard they only spoke every few weeks. Even during Irma his brother only sent 1 text to his mother.
Jennifer A he didn’t have anything to do with this. He already said his last conversation with his brother was normal IE “hows mom?” “Did you get power yet”
even more disgusting is this guy doesn't offer empathy for his dead brother or the victims or ANYBODY; very strange actions from a guy in that situation, almost like he doesn't want to reveal something.
SevenWilly It's not race baiting it's the truth. If he was Muslim you would be saying God damn Terrorist. The fact you don't see he's getting preferential treatment, shows your ignorance, or your prejudice.
beautiful sasha It's like I'm communicating with morons. Let me ask you a question can you really not see it, or are pretending to not care because you benefit from it. Jesus said it best many will have eyes but will not see, many will have ears, but not hear.
I feel horrible for him. Imagine waking up one morning and your relative or loved one was on the news... For committing a horrible crime such as this. My prayers go out to this man and all the victims of the Las Vegas Shooting. This event could've been a whole lot worse, considering the items in his hotel suite. Thank god it didn't get anymore worse then it did
prayer...... its time that we realize that human are just like all the other being of this planet. Religion put Human on top of the animal but in reality were just the smartest animal on the planet. Were animal, animal make thing that you cannot explain.
Pikachu Sun These things will continue and get worse. The bottom line is this world is temporary, we all need a savior, we need to repent and receive Jesus Christ sincerely or else those who do not will noy be saved eternally. Without God people are vulnerable to the devil and demons. So choose wisley.
I thought it was a bit suspicious how he acted. His thoughts seemed so collected and he seemed to have a response to everything fairly quickly. People who go through this are usually angry or very confused. This interview just seemed performed. Don't know where I'm going with this but just my two cents.
"I thought it was suspicious" you saw a man in shock nothing more, this is exactly why they shouldn't do this too people on the news. This very well could ruin this guys life and he did nothing wrong. CBS is a piece of shit and all other news networks that will destroy people just to make a buck
Honestly reporters can't define the line between respect and disrespect. The brother is in shock of the disgusting thing his brother did. They should leave him alone. Just like the other victims. They like to take advantage of these poor people (victims) during their worst state.
His brother had no history of mental illness and no criminal record and was acting normal days before the shooting. How else would you expect him to react? Brother becomes mass murderer, kills him self, and now everyone hates you in a matter of minutes
not saying its true obviously but isis have claimed responsibility for this and stated that Stephen supposedly had converted to islam months before the shooting.
Poor guy now that his brother shot people he is being harassed by the press and now some people might blame him because of he his brother was going through a tough time they might blame him and say why didn't you help him or this would of never happened I mean let's just leave him alone he is in a state of shock right now
Watchinthefoolshere He wasn't cornered. No one standing between him and his front door. It gave him a chance to disassociate himself from his brother. I have a brother who has done awful things publicly and I was glad when I had an opportunity to publicly separate myself from him.
This is complete bull. I would be less surprised to hear that the so called official ISIS communication is in fact originating from our own pentagon so they can secure more funding or congressional backing.
These are two grown men with their own lives, they dont keep tabs on each other. Grow up people. Im 27 and my brother is 25 and we keep tabs on each other to just make sure we are both still alive and thats pretty much at at the moment. So to go to the criminal's relatives to get them to deliver a message to everyone and expecting them to give some narrative is both ludicrous and disheartning. Leave this guy alone. Quit trying to rationalize what the criminal did when a person only needs to make a simple choice to cause mayhem and destruction without having any kind of motive.
"When you were growing up did you ever imagine your brother could open fired on thousands of people with assault weapons?" Wow what a great question. Now that you mention it
I think his brother is innocent and was setup to take the fall for this false flag. No kids and distant from his family, perfect subject to take the fall for it.
I know you all want to know what happend but these reporters have no humanity. His brother is in shock right now, and you guys are shoving your fucking mics down the poor man's throat. He needs rest, needs professional help, leave him alone until he wants to speak about it
e james Sticking up for the terrorists brother, are you? Shame on you. How do you think the families of the victims feel reading these stupid comments that you white people are posting. Feel sorry for the victims and their families !!! Stupid people...
The MEDIA could care less about "HUMANITY", their JOB is to focused on INFORMATION, they don't give a ratts ass on EVIDENCE OR PROOF, they'll manipulate it wherever they see fit OR until someone speaks up and opposes demandingly!! Our Government is a billion times worse than this individual shooter! TRUST NOBODY!!
what ur an idiot, obviously after this dude causing mass murder they had to contact the people most closely to him HIS FAMILY who would they contact his pet dogs???????????????? u dont know only time will tell what fucking really happened damn
AA 15 how do you know? You don't know if he helped the brother plan this attack, just because he wasnt there at the scene doesn't mean he's automatically innocent.
...and some dipwads on the internet are shitting on this guy. Like, seriously? Because he DEFINITELY had control over what his brother was going to do, right?
We're not wondering why they're interested. More-so just wondering why the media does not have the decency to give him some space. As much as his brother was obviously absolute garbage, he was still his brother and he was probably still processing not only losing his brother, but that his brother did something so horrific.
John MacTavish The poor dude is in shock. If you're sibling committed mass murder, how would you feel if media outlet, after media outlet, after media outlet kept coming to your house and questioning you? If they want to ask him, maybe give his brother a couple of days, so he can relieve himself of the shock he is in. We're not saying that media shouldn't question his family, we're just saying that they shouldn't bother him, as he is emotionally and mentally distraught.
Gabe Mesa His brother "allegedly" did this. He shouldn't talk to anyone, it will be used against him, his brother. People, please don't assume what the "news" is telling you is factual.
why are all liberals associated with that conspiracy new world order shit? I'm a liberal and I don't believe in most conspiracies especially ones about these topics. I watch them because I'm interested in others thoughts not because I believe everything on the internet and why are conservatives associated with racism and slavery and rich bastards that try to do everything they can to save money and get more
Jesus - Honestly, I wouldn't think too much into that. Yeah, it's a sick thing to say however, living in Vegas, we hear that all the time. Some drunk idiot always wants to act tough. Security did what it always does, removes them. Come to Vegas, visit a bar or a concert. Heck, you'll find them in the comment section on FB on LV Posts on anything that offends them. Heck, the LGBT Pride festival gets threats here. So did the last presidential debate that was held here. ISIS has been threatening us for years. Honestly, it's a coincidence.
Finally, a brain on RU-vid. Yes, this is an unfortunate coincidence. It's a creepy one but a coincidence nonetheless. This wont convince conspiracy nuts though. They're superstitious. They have a mild form of mental illness: when you start making connections that aren't there but seem like they are. Paranoid delusions etc.
None of the story makes any sense. The owner of the hotel funded and called for people to donate to leftist groups. He also has stock in security firms and is on the national security board apparently. The very next day, a hotel down the way put up metal detectors...and every time there's a shooting, there's also a gun bill they're trying to pass, just like this time with the silencers, which is why Hillary tweeted about silencers, which have nothing to do with this situation. Set up.
Man, leave this poor guy alone. He's in complete shock... utterly dumbfounded by all that's happened. He must be absolutely reeling being dragged unwittingly and very reluctantly behind his brother's rocket ride into notoriety, I can't imagine what he is going through right now. Leave him alone.
He shouldn't. It would have been expected that every Muslim cleric on earth condemned this and apologised if he was Muslim. They shouldn't either. It's just reporters being reporters I suppose. Asking the questions for the sake of asking the questions.
don't let this video distract you from the fact that if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma you may be entitled to financial compensation.
I'm talking about the question she asked him at 0:45 "your message to these people, families". What is he supposed to say? Is he responsible? Does she want sorry from him? What does she mean exactly? This guy is himself shocked.
+Space Monky And he chose not to. How does that have anything to do with the question, whether it was a good question, and whether he should have been expected to answer something like that?
The stupid reporter is practically shoving a mic down his throat trying to elicit some sort of explanation from him for his brother's actions . . .what the hell. Are you serious? Leave him alone, he is already going to be associated with this for the rest of his life. Let him grieve.
Tennessee Jed He lost his brother that he grew up with to find out later in life that he would be the biggest mass shooter in history, I think you would be shook too, we are human afterall
Meraki So you believe this nonsense? You actually think he is telling the truth! That's laughable. This is just another incident which the left will use in their fight against the 2nd amendment.
So you think he knew ? Call up the FBI then and let them know if you are so sure. The issue is more about weapon attachments than actual guns. You shouldn't legally be able to make your gun into a fully auto weapon by using a bump stock like he was using. The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with bump stocks. You don't need them and they are too risky for the public to have.
Lmao people are actually overanalyzing this dude, look his brother was the shooter not him. You don't know what happened, you're only accusing him of one accusation based off of a 3 minute interview. Please people omg.
He acts so shocked yet his own father was a psychopath bank robber on FBI most wanted list and escaped from jail....mmmmyeah....it runs in the family dude. Don’t act surprised.
I think his reaction is real. Sure it may be awkward, but maybe that's just his personality. You can see it in his eyes he has absolutely no clue what is happening and he's at a loss for words
of course it's real. stop taking troll-bait and be aware of what's going on. the earth isn't flat either. it is however, full of assholes, so if this guy is someone who has connections who can get him machine guns and motivations to make him want to use them on a concert crowd, his relationships with his family might have something to do with that. people who want to get you talking about it being fake are taking your mind off the fact that there is a strain of violent authoritarianism in this country that is actively killing americans, and the people who are perpetuating it have the tactical advantage of not being identified unless and until they personally become a shooter. engaging in a conversation about whether or not it looks real isn't quite the same as actually joining in the shooting, but it makes you kind of like the guy who washes the dishes in the mess tent for the guys who do the shooting. it helps. how 'bout not doing that? in this guy's case, i'm much more interested in finding out if they fought a lot as kids, what the age difference is, what their father was like, etc. anybody testing him to figure out if he's a person or a mannequin is really doing a service to the shooter.
There is nothing unusual about this guy's reaction to this. In summer of 2013, my mom came into my room around 12:30 AM and tearfully told me that my grandparents just died in a car accident. I acted pretty much like this guy did. All I could say to her was "....are you sure??" Obviously she wouldn't say it if she wasn't, but how would you react to such a statement? It took a while for that to set in. Same for this guy. He went to bed, last night, everything is normal, then this morning he wakes up and gets phone calls saying his brother just shot and killed several people. Don't tell me you wouldn't react the same as this guy did.
I agree with you Sharkie626 , its the same way i felt when i find out my father passed when i was only FIVE YEARS OLD. Its something really hard to take in. Alot of what happened when i was younger is just starting to set in because I understand everything.
Because he is giving strange answers for an average person in an extreme situation. It makes him seem like there's more to the story and thus repeated questions are necessary.
Who ...who wouldn't be dumbfounded? Someone you never found dangerous and that you've known all your life suddenly harms hundreds of people would be a sudden punch to the face.
you're right. those people are insane. and now you are too, because you're engaging with their argument. difference is, you're a real person, and they're robots made of sarcasm.
he's so dumbfounded. and that makes me so upset. why are they drilling him about this? "This is like if he shot my kids". I feel so bad for him. Special prayers for him and his family tonight.
I can honestly say usually the Internet would be more than willing to destroy this man for something he had no control over but yet I look to the comment section and it's supportive and understanding. God bless you all. Prayers from Canada..... and the comment section caught up... guys don't scroll down its cancerous
Poor guy. It's a free for all out there, and I know it's only going to get worse. Takes a lot to make me worry, but I'm really feeling dreadful about the future. Maybe not so much for myself, but I can't stop thinking what my 8 and 10 yr old daughters will have to face. God bless us all. JP
This is sick and sad. How dare these people capitalize on everyone’s suffering and dare bother this poor guy who’s obviously in shock. The media makes me sick and this shouldn’t be allowed.
He could've said that he didn't want to say anything and the news reporter would accept that and move on. You're acting like the News reporter hold this guy hostage and slap him every time he didn't want to speak.
Jimmy Bob holly crap you are dumb. I know the comment section is too comment.... that's why I replied to his comment using logic. he's complaining about the news reporters all the guy had to say is no questions and leave. if no one watch the reporters wouldn't be out there.
Jimmy Bob he saying that it "the media makes him sick" if it made him sick don't watch simple. he is feeding the reporters to be out there with views and comments. no $hit You have to watch the video to comment. you don't understand logic....
Ya it's pretty fucked. I understand people are trying to do their jobs and it's one of those things where if I don't ask the questions first, someone else will. It's sad no doubt tho. Hope the big guy can get some peace.
For fucks sake, if you had no idea why this happened and had just found out and now have a news crew up in your face you might sound a little bit flustered as well. get a grip people.
What the fuck can he say to the victims families, Why the fuck do you think his words would do anything to make the families feel better. He's obviously super surprised about this shit.
+McC i would say he lost his brother A LONG TIME AGO, in as much as we can speculate on how long he had a sick enough mind to plan and go through with this
+tranny we r trying... i had a class in college, 3 credits in psych, beyond that its media and reading from time to time... will appreciate the shrinks speaking on him soon!
I can't imagine what he's thinking. Imagine a friend or family member that seemed perfectly normal to you and all of a sudden you hear that they're a mass murderer.
This is a horrible tragedy, I feel so sorry for this man and his family too they are going to be social pariahs the rest of their lives. But what DISGUSTS me, is all these comments. All this hate and lack of empathy. Is this what human beings are? Almost 60 people dead, hundreds wounded, but instead of banding together as human beings, you are ripping each other's throats out, slinging bullSHIT conspiracy theories it's absolutely DISGUSTING!! For every decent thing I see in the world I see ten things like this! Absolutely abhorrent, it makes me ashamed to be one of you.
Over The Spectrum I've been in shock. Everyone has. Seeing him in this state is horrible. I start controversy, but not on a poor man like this. This is a man living a normal life. But then wakes up one morning and sees that his own Brother has killed 60 people and injured 100+. I'd feel the same way "Dumbfounded" As his brother said.
Over The Spectrum who cares what you think punk es related to that sacknof shit he shoujd hide his face I knkw I woukd be ashamed and if he hes smart hed be hiding his face and laying low boo hoo for him not he needs to shut his damn mouth same goes for you and by the way if peole,want to hate this ass hole good for them your opinion means crap
Reporters attacked him to soon! At least let him get a grip of the reality of this.. Next moring already probably just got back from dropping off his kid at school, probably hasn't even talked with the family yet..
So, they have to have video of him carrying 10 rifles up 32 floors? And no one saw ANYTHING??? HMMM REALLY... #SMOKINGGUN AND EVERYONE IS EATING THIS UP LIKE IT'S TRUE! Brainwashed America for ya! IT'S IN A HOTEL/CASINO FOR GOD SAKES, CAMERAS ARE AT EVERY INCH OF THAT BUILDING!
Andre Wilson That's exactly why we can be certain they have the right guy because of the evidence currently under investigation. You're the brainwashed one buddy.
