A judge accepted a plea deal Monday for a man who randomly killed a Martin County couple in their garage six years ago and then chewed on one victim's face that will send him to a mental hospital for treatment.
@@USA-ly1uy well there's no verdict or plea that says "not guilty by reason of coming of drugs". The reason is still because he was temporarily insane during the commission of the crime.
He was on drugs. He might have suffered a psychotic break but it's because of substance use. Too bad the neighbor didn't own a gun because everyone else might have been alive still. Austin should have been put down like a rabid dog. Now he'll eventually be released and he'll probably snap again. Charge him with murder and lock him up for good.
@@USA-ly1uy he was at dinner with his folks an hour before the attack. he went outside halfway through and didn't come back to the table. he wasn't wasted. he was going through some hardcore psychological breakdown.
Naw this stuff is crazy, treating 19 year olds like toddlers. "But your honor our poor little angel was crazy! You couldn't possibly charge him with anything!" 🤡
He had no drugs in his system during the attack even if your were pretending to be insane you wouldn’t be able to handle a taser multiple dog attacks and full force kicks to the face he was pure insane and the blame should go to his family and close circle for not doing something sooner
Yeah exactly! I'm back here because of the Leticia Stauch case where she actually is pretending to be insane to escape justice. 😂And for the people online who I came across who believed her I just kept directing them to this case specifically. I truly believe Austin wasn't sane. I truly believe his parents should be the ones facing trial. They failed their son. They were afraid of him for the entire summer yet didn't bother to call 911? Disgusting. I am truly horrified by his parents actions.
I don't think you're being considerate to the family. These things are so rare you, I, and everyone would never expect them. All they thought was that he needed help, their son, and they were getting it. There are tons who wouldn't even take that step. As far as him being insane, it's only obvious. Thrill killers avoid capture. For one out of the so many obvious things.
He ate a mans face A dog bit his arm twice unfazed He was tazed He drank cleaning chemicals and a bottle of Oil He said he saw slenderman . This is not his fault his brain malfunctioned, and he wasnt diagnosed early enough.
@Darkhorse the "Dahmer cannibalism" is so overblown, he did that with maybe 2 victims and it was after his 9th murder. He was too far gone to be rehabilitated, he fell into a deep hole and was addicted by sexual and emotional pleasure. Dahmer was not evil, he did horrible evil acts but he wanted to know why he was so mentally unhinged and why he committed such vicous crimes. This kid was not evil either, he was legally insane. You need to get over it and look into forgiveness, hatred is not the answer
@@darkhorse7460 Dahmer didn’t snap, he premeditated murder😂 he knew exactly what he was doing, no comparison. This dude thought he was a dog, lost his damn mind, something snapped in his brain.
except he bragged about taking a ton of drugs. you don't need drugs in your system for them to have everlasting effects that can spawn at a later time. it's pretty obvious that drugs induced his psychosis even though he was sober at the time.
The parents neglected the signs but at the same time were in denial because they didn’t understand. They were just hoping it would get better. People can say all day what to do with your kids but denial is a crazy thing. Ignorance is a crazy thing. No one ever thinks it can happen to them. No one ever dreams this would be the outcome regardless of mental illness. It’s so extremely rare to get this this place so why would they have thought any different. This kid is one of the rare cases of 100% mental illness. Forgiveness will still be so hard and my heart hurts for the victims. This is a hard one especially when you understand mental illness. What a terrible outcome for all the families.
Absolutely I would too but as someone who wasn’t affected and can look at this neutrally I feel bad for Austin too. I couldn’t imagine losing control of you’re mind and finding out you did that to people.
People who think this judgement is better than prison? These are very dark places these ppl have to live in. And for a person who is no longer insane, it's even worse. It'll take years - even decades - to prove he is no longer a threat. He's not going free anytime soon
Someone that has dealt with drugs and would prob get bk involved and are someone's face, but ok to stand trial can not be trusted in society. The Hospital will tell the tale of how his mental state will be without the drugs and drinking chemicals that prob removed some of them
He can't be trusted to be out, he was crazy and it's a shame the neighbor didn't have a gun. Austin is a sick individual and it's a travesty he won't be locked up for good. What he did was absolutely disgusting. Plus he STILL thinks he was "possessed" showing he still isn't mentally ok.
1:31 She's right. They failed to send him to rehab when they knew he was under drug use and wasn't acting straight. That doesn't excuse his behavior and what he did though
Wrong they had a appointment. I'm sure you've tried to get in to a Dr office before you usually got to wait for a bit to be seen, pointing fingers isn't going to change a thing
Meth and diff drugs make u lose alot of weight. I'm sure too have him on un needed psyc med. I'm a big person on mental health. Most of my famiky is on med including me for dep and anxiety. Maybe him getting diagnosed or the drugs messing up his chemical imbalance
I’m super angry at his family and friends. It’s one thing to not notice depression signs because it’s very complicated. But you can immediately tell someone is in some sort of psychosis just from: 1. Consistently claiming about fighting demons and you actively see them going on ‘Patrol’ to fight them. 2. Saying that they are half-dog and half-man. Or any sort of supernatural figures or things that is untrue about them. 3. Drinking cooking oil out of nowhere or consuming weird items. 4. Tendency to talk to one self as if there’s another person in the room. 5. Express to others that a higher up figured like god convincing them to hurt themselves or others in the name of ‘saving’.
I don’t see how you can say he wasn’t insane even if you ignore his episodes and him having no drugs in his body , he was tased, ripped up by a dog, kicked in the head and face, had his head cracked open and was still attacking
I was completely healthy mentally. Untill I was stuck in a 6 year extreme traumatic situation. After that I was diagnosed with severe Burn out, Complicated PTSD, Sever unipolar and bipolar depression. I found most people don't understand mental health, because its not a broken arm or cut over your face. It is something you cant see with your eyes. I have a totally new respect for mental health, disabled people est. Mental health is a lonely road. If you have friends and family that support you in make a world of different. I can just imagine the pain, anger and grief of the victims family. It sounds like your parents were great people. The neighbours sir...your a hero for trying to help. This is not easy. But for parents who ignoring mental health issues is un acceptable. Even if you don't understand it, get help.
I just watched the police questioning of Austin's parents. They didn't know what was going on. They tried to understand what was going on but didn't really know bc bc he was sleeping during the day and couldn't sleep at night. Poor kid himself sounds scared bc he doesn't know what happened or why (Dr Phil). Cops didn't find any hard drugs in his system. I know this is a tragic case and the victim's families are angry. No winners here.
Someone in my family was diagnosed with depression because these are same symptoms, but come to find out he had tried Meth. Alot of things can cause this and getting the right help, but I truely believe drugs affected his chemical imbalance and he burned his insides so naturally wouldn't show up in system. He was ok to stand trial. Guess the mental hospital will tell the tell after drugs are out of his system
*He should never get out.* In fact, wtf does crazy matter because he's still a murderer. There should be no such clause for not guilty by reason of insanity.
Do you think not guilty by reason of insanity is a get out of jail free card or something? Asylums tend to be worse than a lot of prisons for numerous reasons.
@@-u-waa but the potential to get out in an unacceptable amount of time exists and absolutely happens. Do you think knowing nothing about something makes you an expert? I'm more than aware that they can be much worse, I'm very well educated in government as a whole with a lot of special focus on the judiciary. *I actually read the laws in their legislated form, I very much doubt you can say the same.*
@@JonDeththe potential is less then one percent. Once you get sent to a asylum it’s almost impossible to ever leave and when they do leave they remain under heavy surveillance by police and doctors for long time.
@@blossomcharles4592 I was having “severe paranoid symptoms”? I could have sworn I just had the munchies from drinking too much beer. Your diagnosis of my behavior 20 years after the fact w/o even knowing me is making me paranoid now (if that helps). 😉😳
He needs to never be let out if he is who knows, one thing could trigger him into another psychosis and he could attack someone else. My great-grandma had schizophrenia and was insane she was locked in a facility but somehow she never went back, she was very crazy my mom tells me stories of how crazy she was. So Austin should never be let out, his parents failed him and he failed himself. Michelle and John never deserved this I just hope they can find peace one day.
He'd have take antipsychotics, I'm sure. You know, the thing he didn't get before he went "psychotic." Plus I'm sure he'll have to do some sort of mandated therapy. If anything, perhaps nonstop harrassment from the people who are against his case, will drive him have an acute mental break too. I guess we'll see. Better watch out, then. 🤗 And also, way to stigmatize, not biased at all. 🙄 Anyone can go "insane", just like him. Some just have more of a predisposition. He should have gotten help. In no way, am I advocating for him, no one deserves what happened to the people he hurt, whether he meant to or not. I just don't like how you spoke about mental illness.
@@HomoLegalMedic So you think this Maniac who ate a man’s face should be let out? But his take was stupid? Tell me you’re a liberal without telling me you’re a liberal
@Tom Campbell you read "effective medicine and outpatient treatment" and heard "let out"? Tell me you're an American without telling me you're an American. Over 50% of your population have a literacy skill below fifth-grade level. I'm not interested in your opinion since it's more than likely you're not going to be able to sufficiently understand mine.
He could have been a drug addict and also had a psychotic break. He didn't even try to hide what he had done. He seemed completely delusional to me when I first heard the story.
@@theunalivenetwork7067 first off i never said give him a pass, you seem to like to make assumptions a whole lot, do you think being in a psychiatric institute is not being locked up, those places are very much so like prisons, but for mentally ill people. it's a real shame that people are all more for people being completely locked away forgotten about, instead of trying to rehabilitate them. that's like saying capital punishment is a good deterrent, that's why a lot of states got rid of it because low and behold people were still killing people, who knew killing people legally wasn't going to do a damn thing.
He was ill ,end of no drugs in his system during the attack so the victims families attacking Austin's family are out of order - i understand they are angry- i think the professionals in this case were spot on for the defence and the prosecution doctors to actually agree 100% on insanity is rare ... the victims family should take solace that Austin will be treated and unlike alot of people is remorseful
it's terrible what happened to the couple. but in this case i really think he had mental illness or a psychotic break that led him to this. he was tazed and dogs attacking him but he still didn't respond....that itself right there is telling he's not faking it. but the family of the victim has a right to be angry as no one wants that to happen to their family members.
People never want to accept that sometimes terrible things happen and it's not the result of wrongdoing or injustice, because then there's no one to blame. Then you have to accept you're living in a capricious unsafe universe. That doesn't feel good.
i don't think people understand, he's not going to a day spaw, chances are he's probably going to be in an asylum for a long time. and those places are not like open, their under lock and key just like a jail. i feel sorry for the family, but i mean people do suffer mental issues like this that cause them to do some horrible stuff. but the ultimate goal here should not be to lock a person up and throw away the key, people are so easy to rush to that, the goal should be to rehabilitate people. do you know why a large number of states got rid of the death penalty, because contrary to what people think, it's not a deterrent. if it were there would be no murder.
Well said. The family is hurt and angry, but she's no better throwing out threats. I don't think she understands that a mental institution is not freedom. I think prison is possibly more free in general population, and you get a job, hopefully meet friends and feel part of a community, but in a mental institution, I feel like you're around some pretty ill people and more isolated. I don't think either of them are fun. He definitely should not be set free if he can randomly lose it for no reason. He's a danger to society. It was just too bizarre. I didn't think they found any real major drug in his system, but can't remember. And his family is suffering too. That woman is hurt and angry, but I can only imagine his family has been shamed in their community and all the money they've had to spend to fight for him, plus even though he's alive, he's not with them anymore.
I think we can agree that the drugs made him do this, and if we're going to persecute people who cause homicides during drunk driver and other drinking related deaths, then this should count as well. The mistake was made when taking those drugs in the first place. You are responsible for the actions afterwards.
@@Brandon_66 Numerous professionals agree that he was clearly legally insane. Drugs obviously only made it worse, but if there’s some it’s pretty clear he didn’t have a lot of, it’s choice.
A lot of people that get the insanity plea are stuck in whatever facility they're sent to for the rest of their life, and with even less freedom than they'd have in prison.
@@demonpride1975 but he still has the chance of getting "rehabilitated" and sent home. That is why the family is so upset. But in canada, thats the norm! Culture and law is arbitrary
He ate John stevens face. Much more than biting. Also used at least 2 different weapons to murder these people, one being a knife and the other a wine cork screw.
He was in psychosis… seeing things that aren’t there… in his mind, he truly believed he was in danger. It’s an extremely unfortunate circumstance altogether but mental health issues do exist, people
It should be guilty by reason of insanity…guilty…he did it…he’s guilty whether he’s sane or not. Either way he needs to be locked up for life wherever he ends up.
I understand the family's grief but there has been extensive psychological interviews and assessments and he truly was in a state of insanity. The family members are obviously not any type of expert or doctor with a freaking PhD. Have they even taken time to try to understand the condition and what happened? He didn't even have basic human instincts when he was in that state. It's quite ignorant to act The way they are. He literally is the description of a person who is not guilty by reason of insanity. I understand if they don't understand or want to understand some psychological or mental atrocities that plague people but they don't really have a choice they need to look inside themselves and understand this wasn't some evil person who just wanted to go eat their dad's face he was in a truly psychotic state and it's horrible for the victims but it's also horrible for this man.
"taken the time to understand what happend", they're probably to busy grieving the horrific dead of their family members. I get what you're saying and this dude was obviously in some psychotic state but if we say he wasn't responsible bcs of it than who is? As a grieving family, you need to put your anger somewhere and that becomes impossible when responsibility is being taken away by an insanity claim. One could also argue he is responsible because of his drug abuse, which can effect chemical interactions and therefore brain physiology, even chronically. Ask yourself, if someone is drunk and becomes very violent & punches a guy and that guy dies, who is responsible? The drunk guy or the alcohol? How is it different with a person who took say bath salts? This guy might not have done drugs or drink at the time so he wasn't "acutely sick" (intoxicated), he did however on a chronical level. So I do agree that he was insane during those actions & should be put in a psych ward but he still carries some responsibility in my opinion (assuming it was drug abuse induced, which seems very likely). Than there's the question do you think he should ever be released again (which can happen under an insanity claim)? I'm not a psychologist but psychology isn't an exact science. I'm however a biomedical scientist and I'd say they should analyse his genetics as well as biochemical interactions in his brain, determine whether he's genetically inclined to his behavior or if his drug abuse altered his brain physiology. If so this guy should never be released and kept under surveillance for the rest of his life. I get that there's a lot of perspectives to look at this case, but to call the family ignorant is wrong, they're not ignorant, they're hurt and angry. And I personally think they're entitled to feel that way.
@@lalalaland4552 That was well said. This is a state hospital he is in, it isn't exactly a joy ride. Still, I understand the family of the victims, they wanted a prison sentence. This will be an interesting case to watch.
I get what you're saying but it's not their duty to have sympathy for him, especially when his family is getting away scott free while they carry this burden for the rest of their lives. They also get no closure while the killer is getting the help he needed. I do not blame them at all, I would never be able to forgive him too, despite his condition.
No he's a disgusting psychotic freak who needs to be locked up forever. Too bad the neighbor who tried to help didn't have a gun so he could put Austin down like the rabid dog he is. It could have saved lives that day. And now they are actually going to release him? Absolutely insane. He's a monster.
Why is it not guilty by reason of insanity. Cant it be guilty by reason of insanity. If your sane or not. People died and you should still pay for the consequences.
guilt requires choice with full awareness of your actions and insane people are detached from reality so they cannot really be responsible for their actions. this does not mean they get to go free, people who get this verdict get carted away to a mental hospital with even less freedom than prison and their length of stay is entirely up to their psychologists so quite a few are stuck there for the rest of the lives
Because that requires you being fully sane and aware of what’s going on and willingness to do something. He was literally seeing daemons, and according to him that’s the reason he was sprinting was because he was apparently being chased by deamons.
Because to be deemed "guilty" you need to have consciously made the choices leading to whatever you're in court for, even if they were unintentional. In a case of extreme schizophrenia like this, you aren't making choices. You don't even know you're there.
Sound like your the type that would cross the street if a poc was walking that same street yet don’t mind walking down the street and or living beside a person like Ol Hannibal Lectors son here
You're completely fooled by this guy because hes working the system,he is on record saying how he wants to be famous before he dies that's not being insane its a narcissist,experts lol anyone that claims to be a mental health expert is the biggest quack con man around that peddle pills and claim chemical imbalances exist which they don't because there's no way to check on someones brain chemistry. You need to educate yourself about real mental health from people that are using it as an excuse to work the system instead of trusting so called experts that also have no clue because they've never experienced any of the things there claiming to know about.
NO he chose to take those drugs. Just like you choose to get wasted and drive. You are responsible for your actions even while on illegal and legal drugs.

I hope the daughter can give their anger to God and let their souls be healed. For their Own good. This is so deeply tragic, so heart breaking. Only God can fix this
Good thing we don't live in the stone ages anymore, then. Imagine a world where you lose your mind and can't help it, and, society casts you away or kills you. You're a horrible person if you think like that.
At the end of the day, we’re all a victim of whatever brain we were born with. Not every person has the mental capacity to choose right from wrong. It’s tragic, but the reality is, there are many terrible situations in life where no one is fully at fault. This appears to be one of those sad cases.
This has nothing to do with money. The kid was literally having a psychotic break. His parents failed him. It’s sad for everybody. I do feel bad for the guy.
Can't stand the way the court clerk kept craning her head like she's watching Days of our Lives.... @1:43 Also, nobody had sleep on this day. Austin was up for 24 hours straight and it appears the Mishcon's as well.
So sad that money will buy you freedom no matter what the cost to the victim/victims. That judge needs to be sentenced and his parents should have been fixed years ago. Pathetic that this world has turned into one big toilet full of $hitty, cold, heartless, souless monsters and we are all going down the drain.
what money bought him his freedom, i don't get this line of thinking. his lawyer was probably a state lawyer so he had no care either way, the judge is paid to do his job, you know to be impartial and fair. i hate to break it to you but feelings don't dictate the outcome thank god.

The insanity plea isn't a get out of jail free card, it's a ticket to a place with even less freedom than most prisons where you're stuck indefinitely if you aren't deemed able.
🇿🇦🇿🇦, He will kill again and the next tine he does it , it will be his family . He saw how easy it is to get away with murder by acting insane . Am not just saying it , true true Austin will do it to his own family next time 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Do you dumbasses in the comments here just think people that get the insanity plea just walk out or something? The insanity plea means you're sent to a secure mental facility with *even less freedom* than the majority of prisons. You're in there until you're deemed fit to return to society. There are a vast amount of cases where people never leave.
Jesus Christ, these so-called experts are insane. ANYONE that commits murder is insane. There is something wrong in their head for murdering. That is an excuse that has successfully being used by lawyers in other cases. At the very least, in his "sane" state, the monster does not look remorseful. The first rule of helping others is seeing if they want to be helped. In this case, he is not remorseful. Why help him?
Even medicated, not all mental illness dissipates. There is no magic cure-all pill. People can still have hallucinations, paranoia, and experience delusions while taking several medications. The guy looks like he's incredibly internally stimulated by hallucinations and blunted affect due to symptoms and also probably all the meds he's on. It doesn't diminish what he did, but also, mental illness is a terrible thing. A great thing to take from this is that there is a huge lack of understanding and stigma against mental illness. If people understood more and were better educated on mental health, others could recognize signs and get help sooner. Also, drug induced psychosis is 100% a thing. It doesn't mean you need to be high at the time. You could smoke weed, meth, pick your poison, and end up with a lifelong psychotic disorder depending on susceptibility and genetics. It's terrifying. Source: I work in an outpatient mental health facility with individuals who have bipolar, schizophrenia, and general psychosis symptoms. I know this is an old as hell comment, but I hope anyone who comes across this comment is able to learn a little more about mental health and recognize the importance of reducing stigma and educating themselves.
Omg he litteraly wanted police to kill him cuz he couldnt control himself. Now instead of jumping to conclusion you could have just watched some of the interviews he did or watch videos from his old youtube channel. In the videos you saw a man sliping into insanity litteraly, he suffered with schizophrenia and didnt get proper treatment in time. Why is it so hard for people to understand what a psychosis is? that man was out of his mind no sane person could have sustained dog bites, partially cracked skull and multiple tasings."He dosent look remorsful" wow didnt know we had a body language expert in the comments.
Having a mental illness should never be an excuse to cause harm. If a person who is mentally ill harms another person, the criminal should be locked up. They are a danger to society and should not be cared for. Life in prison is the only place for them.
I can agree to an extent like people with bipolar and depression etc know what they're doing,on the other hand someone hearing voices is not in control of their mental faculties they can get a pass.
Seems like the judge, prosecutors and victims advocate failed this poor family. Were the Harrouff’s a wealthy, well connected family who received special treatment? Were strings pulled, favors called in to protect this animal? I’m not a lawyer but to me this all seems shady. The victims should’ve at least had their day in court. Why do we live in a society where expensive lawyers, time and time again set guilty people free on some bs. It shouldn’t matter who the family is, what lawyer they get, or what good things the killer did before the murder. People who kill should receive harsh punishment. We shouldn’t send murders to a posh hospital with every amenity just to be found perfectly mentally stable and released. My heart breaks for the victims and their loved ones. They deserve justice. If the defendant had don’t this to the judge’s family I have no doubt there would’ve been a trial. And I think the defendant’s family could’ve done more but ultimately this was the defendant’s choices that caused this senseless attack. And I understand the defendant’s family wants to be there for their loved one. But that doesn’t mean they can’t offer the victim’s family a sincere apology or show remorse for the victims and not just their entitled, spoiled, impenitent family member. My question to y’all is what can be done? Can the judge’s decision be revoked or something? And is there anything we can do to help the victims family?
No, the prosecutor's own psychiatrist said he was insane. This happens all the time. It got attention because of the affluency, and horror of the crime.
Sounded like he was totally sane and just a druggie that needs to be put under the jail. Why did this freak get off? Who’s his family and what pull do they have? Texts show he was sane. Someone needs to lose their judge position, and the whole family needs to be incarcerated
What part of there were no drugs (more specifically no drugs that could cause what he did) in his system do you not understand? he had Trace Amounts of THC and alcohol, barely even detectable which means he hadn't smoked in at least a month or two and he hadn't drank within the last few weeks. The text do not prove he was sane whatsoever nor do they prove he is insane, it proves he's a typical teenager. The victim's family is more of a POS than anybody in this case. That lady read out all of his texts and Facebook messages out of hate and anger and literally all his messages were about was partying getting messed up and getting laid and that's what virtually every single teenage boy thinks about
@@YouAreTroll I understood it all, maybe you didn’t watch the entire vid like I did. He was a druggie that partied all the time, and a drunk. His brain was probably fried from all the alcohol and drugs
@@MyMysaysFU BAHAHAHAHAHA a little drugs and alcohol here and there does not turn people psychotic. what part of there was no drugs in his system at the time of the murder do you not understand? (except trace amounts of thc). you are butthurt so you are going to keep replying with something illogical while slightly changing the subject lolololol
@@YouAreTroll nah, better do your research. He had a bad habit of drinking until he passed out, smoking pot, popping pills. Every day. His words read from his texts, by one of the victims family members “at the trial”. Law and crime probably has it somewhere. I think that’s where I saw it, live. Seek and help shall find
If he does end up getting released, he’s statistically not more likely to reoffend. It’s a very common myth that people like him would just end up back on the streets and redo the same crimes when none of the data backs that up. There are hundreds of cases in Canada and the US exactly like this who end up on monitored conditional release and never murder again. And I have personal experience - I had a family member in the same situation. Never got in trouble with the law again, and we as a family never felt unsafe around them, nor did anyone else in the community. If anything, this is proof that hardcore rehab works better than prison for people who commit crimes (even murder) because of severe untreated mental illness.
The “victims” are the real problem, they were given evidence that shows he was completely out of it and had absolutely no drugs in his system but rather then looking at the facts they just want to hate and hold on to the bitterness rather then trying to find help for people like Austin so these things don’t happen and by help I don’t mean send them to prison and treat them like an animal when the “victims” don’t even understand what it’s like to experience psychosis…..just another example of people who don’t care about the truth and just want somebody to hate
Are u feeling ok?? I can guarantee if that were your family u wouldn't be saying that. The nightmares they have of someone eating their family's face off. As far as drugs they will do crazy things and he has a small trace and had issues before for month with drugs. The same night drank chemicals and burned his inside so naturally wouldn't show up. I'm a big believer in mental health as alot of our family is on med for dep and anxiety, but the tale will tell while he is in Hospital without drugs. I'm pretty sure most family in their right mind wouldn't feel sorry for him
@@CR-qf1ddAs someone whose family has been on both sides of this situation where both the perp and the victim were family members, I 100% agree with OP. I understand the families’ pain, but their comments towards Austin and his family are completely uncalled for, and they show their ignorance of how psychosis can literally break a person mentally. Unless you see how complex severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia can completely break a person to the point where they’re out of their mind and murder someone (in our case, another family member), then on top of that, have the mental healthcare system completely fail that person, it is SO easy to talk bad about that person when in actuality, they aren’t monsters. They’re victims of their own mental illnesses, and unfortunately with the way the system works, no one can get proper help until someone gets hurt. The reality is that Austin didn’t commit these murders. His schizophrenia did. Same with my family member when this same thing happened to them. It’s hard to understand if you haven’t been on that side of the equation, but if you’ve gone through it, you get it. So, I’m gonna echo your statement here but coming from the other side of it (really, both sides, but I’m focusing on the perp side): if it was your family, you wouldn’t be saying that. This is one of those rare cases where people can and should feel sorry for both the victims and the perpetrator.
This poor man. I'm not making his mental health problems an excuse but this guy must've been so troubled and paranoid to the point of murdering that couple. The mom and dad are BOTH just as guilty; the mom reported her son before it happened, but she didn't do it any other time? And the dad appeared on Dr. Phil just to get media attention, because who DOESN'T go on Dr. Phil for attention these days.... yeesh
The family needs to get over themselves. I understand they are a victim and their parents were killed. But seriously get over yourselves acting like you understand what the hell was going on with this kid
its interesting how many people in society have actually gone insane just like this guy.. sitting here feeling sorry for him.. "oh he's a victim too". like when did we become this kind of culture that worships and coddles mental illness and assigns victim status to the evil and disgusting people who commit horrible crimes.
Condolences to the victim's family. Btw, how can he eat human flesh so casually? I think he had a terrible childhood. This is why I refused having kids until I really want.
Ask your kids if they want you. Nobody wants to be here it’s just narcissists who force souls to be born into the flesh of this human hell. Keep the latex on your man’s Jack!
you think he had a terrible childhood, ugh everyone is a bloody psychiatrist on here. maybe just maybe there actually is something mentally wrong with him. hence the whole psychiatrist.
