Despite all I know about the story, I'd never seen that first clip. My initial suspicions were that he was having some kind of mental episode when he drove that day, your research definitely backs that up. 12:55 I think I actually asked him to take that video down at the time because of the amount it bashed drakemoon which was my main sponsor. Wasn't just me who was upset at his hypocrisy. I know for a fact he definitely wasn't broke, he also was for sure into crypto. Had conversations about crypto with him. Wish the police had taken him that day. Thanks for making this, took me back.
Great video Zues, spot on. A very sad story but anything can tip you over the edge whether it be pressure, stress or anxiety, it can trigger a mental illness at any time, some people are different to others. I myself have witnissed it. My thoughts to everyone involved. Keep up the good work brother!.
You should do a mental health charity stream thing with all of the CSGO names. Idk not directly for mcskillet. But like just for everyone. That’d be a cool thing to see done.
@TDM_Heyzeus Thank you for making this video! It was just sent to me, and I am grateful that even after time has passed, this tragedy has not been forgotten. Thank you, thank you, thank you. -Dominic Pizarro
This guy was a literal joke, he nearly hit other innocent people just minutes prior to going on the highway. He had ever resource to gather help but never did, he was all upset about losing his scamming scheme look it up. No chance he was a victim- he was a coward
@@eternalhatred666 the fact that you honestly admitted that goes to show that, at the very least, your self reflection and self knowledge is very strong. Which is a very good attribute for bettering yourself and adapting to environments that other would usually really struggle with!
@@witmilk6527: Walked? The other guy said ran. Did the police know he was autistic? Did the police know he was 13? Was he of hieght and/or weight proportions that would suggest he was older than he really was? Did the police have reason to believe he was armed? Was he running towards occupied buildings? Was he running towards bystanders? Was there reason to believe he was a threat to the public? That's the context I'm talking about. All you did was restate what the first guy said.
@@cgaqui5593 answer no he was not armed yes he was massive for a 13 year old (5'10) and he actually survived the shooting his mom said he would run and that he was autistic and 13 he was not running towards anything just away
Idk whose more at fault here, the San Diego Police not doing anything about the whole thing or Valve banning shit trying to combat gambling only to make it worse
The amount of research and effort that went into this video is immense. I had no idea what happened to McSkillet and i must say it’s quite sad to hear about

Oh woah ... Finally the full story of McSkillet, like we all knew about the car crash and that something wasn't alright but daamn .. this video clears everything out. It's really sad that he took 2 other lives with his. Everything that build up to this moment was not that well known. Really interesting video Heyzeus, love that i found your channel through out a Jake Lucky shout out, ever since i am watching you.
These stupid kiddies here just calling him a murder... oh man. Watch the video. Inform yourself about mental illness. And especially everything explained itself in the last 5 minutes of the video.
@@RandomDudeOnRU-vid the same people that shoot up schools are called murderers and they have mental illness. McSkillet did not have to take those lives with him and he did. Do not justify murder.

I never realised this even happened until watching this. I quite playing CS around 2017 but remember frequently watching his content. What a completely preventable tragedy. Such a shame, but very good video nonetheless. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
@Electr It... definitely *was* McSkillet's fault. Yes the cops and docs could've reacted faster but the reason the two innocents died is because of McSkillet.
@@ok-ue7yl no no no it's noone's but valve's fault. Poor mcskillet, should've not killed innocent people, but I miss him and hope karma hits valve, death to all valve employees
Can we just give props to heyzues for not monetizing or putting a sponsored intro on this video. Edit: I don't think that he shouldn't earn money for his hard work, this was a very well made video and yes he did wait two years. I think monetizing this video would have been completely fine. Not sure about a sponsor though unless it was going to a charity although even if he did I still wouldn't mind all that much.
2013 - 2016 CSGO was on a different level man... It's probably just nostalgia but the skins were such a cool and original consept back then and something about them was magical. The game is still great but has lost a lot of its charm
I think we were just young tbh, it felt way more magical to me as well but I was born in 2000, grew up with cs 1.6 so cs go was a massive part of my life during my early and middle teens. Played it since the beta, of course. Now at 22 it absolutely is not the same, for me that is. I imagine for other teens and kids it feels just as magical.
Right??? The second I heard the Iconic intro I had a flashback to when I would imitate his voice to my friends over skype and say the intro and they’d all think it was funny
As someone who went through an year of serious depression I kid you not it’s unbelievable how different your mind thinks in that state. The mental clouding is INSANE! You literally will be shocked how negative and unreasonable your thinking becomes, you would try your hardest to pull yourself out of that hole you keep digging deeper into but you will fail. A friendly reminded to always seek help if you think you are losing yourself, dont make the mistake I did and lose so much time. Heck dont make the mistake McSkillet made and lose your life all together, seek help. Heal!
@@lolhavefun9201 didnt. For many reasons. One of the biggest being I was afraid along with very low self confidence. Your brain keeps on saying to yourself “Come on, one big pull and you’ll be out of that hole you dug, in no time” but that ‘pull’ never comes.
@@lolhavefun9201 i just had to open up to my family. They called me home (since I lived in a different city) and believe me, I improved SO MCUH just by being around people I knew. It helps a lot, family, friends, all of them.
Mental health is something everyone needs to be more sensitive and aware of. It's horrible that he took other people with him, and that he committed suicide the way he did, but if our health care system worked properly & held him until he got better - and people had tried to help him instead of being oblivious, he & all 3 of them would still be here.
how tf would anyone know about his mental health issues if he didn't tell anyone? There was no indication whatsoever that he was going thru all this. His problems that he kept to himself don't justify the killing of two innocent people. I can only imagine what the family of those two people must be feeling knowing people are justifying their killer.
@@adityabhardwaj875 Not everyone can, or wants to, open up about their mental stability. In some families, it is seen as a disease and the person is considered a manic even before he goes crazy. They are treated as an outcast. This behavior in turn actually descalates their mental stability even further. Not every family upbringing knows how to deal with a mentally unstable person. I know this because I have held off talking about depression to my family. But even then, I seek help from my friends and peers.
@@adityabhardwaj875 I dont think anyone here wants to 'justify' the horrible act, we are just saying that there is more to it then just some stupid 18-year old in a sports car driving recklessly
can we take a second to admire the heart of dominic pizarro in this situation? theres absolutely no way in hell id be able to think that clear taking into consideration what he had to go through 22:05
What person is going to go on air and rip apart a deceased beloved RU-vidr? The kid played it smart, showed the good, choir boy religious side on interviews and TV and radio. But you know behind closed doors and with his family who also lost those same loved ones he calls McSkillet every name in the God damn book. I bet he's said and thought about the things he would have done to McSkillet if he ever met him, and we can't even begin to fathom them. No body loses their loved ones and feels sympathy for the person who killed them. (unless of course he wanted his family dead which is equally disgusting).
He’s a murderer. A crybaby who can’t handle pixels online and killed 2 innocent people because of his inability to cope. You should not give this person a platform.
@@TDMHeyzeus he killed innocent people because he couldn’t handle pixels. You can defend him as much as you want and you can also Insult me as much as you want he’s still a murderer.
Firstly, I had no idea he was that young. With that deep voice and the way he spoke, I figured he was at least mid 20's. No wonder he went off the rails like he did. What he did was absoluteIy horrific, no question, but I can't lie and say I didn't miss his videos for a long time after he was gone. I tried to get into turbomotionz but he wasn't for me. Luckily though, I found a fellow aussie who was real good at this 'making videos about skins' biz, and I haven't looked back.
age has nothing to do with it, i knew a 40 year old mother who had like a 1 year old kid and a happy marriage who killed herself and on the outside she seemed totally normal and happy, i also know a family where the mother is in her 60s and had a $150,000 gambling debt and just suddenly starts screaming sometimes
Turbo was kinda my way to go next too. But I quickly figured that he was no guy to deserve appreciation, when his channel took a big hit, someone tried to help him with advice and he simply denied and sent us fuck off.
oh my god I had no idea how dark this would become. Im new in the csgo community and McSkillet is a name I have herd. I assumed he was banned or something and I didnt know the full story. God dang Thank you for educating me Heyzeus my prayers go to The Pizarro family and Mcskillets too.
This was actually really well made. Whenever it comes to mental illness, people don't understand that a person can completely change in the matter of days. McSkillet took his life out in anger. Etika took his life out in embarrassment after his actions were made public and was ridiculed. God knows the amount of times other RU-vidrs have been accused of career-cancelling allegations which easily could have taken them down the same route. Communities are hurt everywhere.
who's Etika i've been on the internet since 2015 when i was young, didn't start going on news sites until 2019 and only got into csgo in 2018 pls explain
@@kevindoingthings7874 I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just wondering what could've happened if that was the case. Would history would've been rewritten? It's just a monologue of mine.
@@aturfhee.3727 All over there is a large mental illness epidemic. But especially in California. With all the homeless and various other reasons. This wouldn't get any better though since all the rioting and "defund the police" campaigns have led most CA based law enforcement departments to cut programs. The LAPD has cut their mental illness special section due to the "outrage" and "protests".
@@Xanth1um It’s not necessarily bad that cops are cutting programs like that, as most if not all “defund the police” advocates would rather have medical experts respond to cases of mental illness. There are countless of stories of police being inadequately trained to deal with people having mental episodes, panicking, and killing them. There has been a recent program, forgot which city, in which a medic and trained psychiatrist were sent to instances of mental health related issues, with very promising results.
Dominic, the guy who lost his mom and sister in the accident, is just a hero of this story for me. It is unbelievable he was able to see the whole context of McSkillets life in such a hard moment like losing his close family members. He is a great example of what religion should be about. I am a Christian and it made me feel sad that most of the believers, and me as well, would not be able to act like Dominic. Huge respect
@@mcchickennugMy bad for speaking about all Christians, but Catholic Church has no official statement regarding evolution, so it's up to individual according to them. However most Catholics that I know (inc. me) believes in evolution, because science.
This is where a ridgid system fails, for all it's benefits of consistancy it has severe downsides. I don't really know if there is a good soultion to it.
For real. Mcskillet was clearly a derranged individual, and lets not forget that the police did absoutley nothing to help. I would go as far as to say that they caused those deaths. Moral of the story: police in America fucking suck so bad.
It’s truly sickening how people in the community decide to “take sides” and only take 1 of 2 perspectives. Nobody deserves to commit suicide, and nobody deserves to be killed. Incredibly sad situation for all involved, and all the ignorance from the police was the main factor. Sad.
It might have not even been suicide, he didnt know what the fuck was going on, he thought he could just clip through the cars if he went fast enough. its just sad how it would have been avoided if the cops did their job
@@oochiboo8047 This still doesn’t dismiss the fact that he is a murderer. Mental health problems or not, I don’t see how someone can even side with McSkillet.
@@oochiboo8047 I understand that, but I see people in the comments acting as if McSkillet's actions can be excused on account of his mental health and the police's inability to do the right thing.
I really appreciated his content and what he did in the end was very wrong I feel sad that he came to such a low point he didn't see any other solutions
@@Dzonnyg The thing is, he wasn't in his right frame of mind. no matter how many times you would've told him this is wrong just as his parents were trying to do,it wouldn't get through to him. He was just lost at that point. The perfect storm.
Incredible video, I was part of the crowd who despised Mcskillet for his actions but this video changes a lot, this entire situation was so unfortunate, rip Mcskillet and the mother and daughter
The first thing anyone thinks when they hear the story is "That man was suffering from mental illness" everyone knew that and some people decided that was a fair argument, most didn't. That's all it was.
Damn, I really wish the cops did something to help him that day. He wouldn't have liked it but at least he and the two innocent people he killed would still be here today.
@@mazevlad2263 uhhh idk dude are you familiar with California’s laws? I’ve known people that’ve gotten 5150d for a lot lot less. They would’ve been within their rights to take him in to a psychward. This is honestly why we either need to get cops better training or have someone replace a lot of their responsibilities that they clearly aren’t qualified for. Dude needed serious mental help and was a clear danger to himself and others, if you have a psychiatrist making that kind of call to police or even a concerned family member they can and often do take you in to a psychward at least for an interview.
@@NotSoMax Police officers don't have the final say when it comes to involuntary institutionalization in a mental facility. Officers uphold the law and must follow it as it is written. Its very difficult to have someone institutionalized against their will, blame the court system for it's broken processes not the cops who are forced to follow them.
@@ant1952 first off the courts should 100% not be giving cops more responsibility, second in the case of a 5150 the cops do a small “interview” then they take them to an institution and the institutions gets the final say. I’ve seen perfectly calm people taken in to an institution by police, the institution released them immediately after the interview but they were still taken in against their will. In this situation no mental institution was even given the opportunity to evaluate him when it was already expressed by his family and a medical professional that he was at risk of hurting himself or others. This is not a rare occurrence but it’s something that cannot be solved by “giving police more power and freedom” when you consider how often they already abuse the power and freedom they already have, and how often that abuse of power disproportionately effects those struggling with Mental health not to mention POC and the waman.
I think hating on McSkillet for the "murder" is unfair. Obviously I have no idea what was going on in his head at the time, but what I see is a young man who had success given to him early and taken away very fast. He had a fragile mind and it was broken, leading him to suicide. The death of the mother and child is absolutely tragic and my heart goes out to their family, but I have trouble believing that their deaths were intentional - which makes it manslaughter, not murder. Should he have drove down a highway the wrong way and crashed? Absolutely not, but people shouldn't jump off bridges either. The kid was driven to suicide by things I doubt we'll ever even hear about - that is tragic by itself. The fact that more lives were taken by this tragedy is even more tragic. Sadly, I feel this is just "how it is" nowadays. People commit suicide, it's awful. I think that if someone is going to commit suicide then they're gonna do it however they want - but you can't really tell someone driving down a highway the wrong way to hit the breaks and find a bridge to jump from. The whole situation is just a horrific tragedy and I don't think anyone is at fault. Blaming a depressed suicidal kid won't solve anything, just let all three of them rest easy. Before anyone says "he wasn't depressed before," depression can be hidden. you can live with it for years before anyone notices. He could well have been depressed from the moment he made his channel, it's unfair to assume he wasn't. He killed himself, there was undoubtedly something wrong. For the people who hate on him - please keep it to yourself. He's dead, he's not gonna see ur hate comments. The only people you can hurt with those comments are the innocent members of his family.
moments before disaster. it's extremely eerie. there's nothing left to your imagination, that is him, 20 ish minutes before crashing that very same car. that guy trying to talk to him is probably the last person mcskillet ever talked to, we have no idea if mcskillet said anything back but whatever he did was enough for the stranger to know that something was seriously wrong past trespassing and vandalism.
I was a big mcskillet fan back in the days, but ever since he "left" I haven't watched a lot of csgo skins videos. Great job on this video and nice to see someone overtaking the "king of skins" title!

I almost don't want to say "rip" but at the same time I watched every single one of his videos back in the day. It's kinda hard to find a balance between someone you like, and someone who did something horrendous.
He was mentally ill. A sane person wouldnt do that. I have family members with history of mental illness, I rather die than scold them for the things they've done under manic episodes. They werent in control
I used to watch all of his videos as soon as he'd release them. He was the reason I started playing csgo. McSkillet was in my eyes, someone who, like you said, just couldn't get the help they needed. He deserved better.
Mental Health is something that is very serious and very sensitive, its an illness people don't choose to be mentally ill and its something that more people need to be aware of, it effects the way you think, the way you look at things, your actions, how you perceive the actions of others as well as many many more things, people think mental illness and depression is just someone being weak minded and sad but its not, mental illness can effect anyone someone having a perfectly normal life can become mentally ill just as easily as someone living the worst life possible. outside factors like bullying, rough life patches, losing your job, losing loved ones ect don't cause mental illnesses they just enhance them they make it worse they kick you while you are already down so its not fair to just judge someone on there actions without actually trying to understand the situation they are in first, my brother has suffered from mental illnesses since he was about 12-13 and we didn't know it at the start, he become paranoid, insecure and stressed, people at school figured out that something was wrong and instead of helping they bullied him, he put on weight, tried to avoid school as much as possible, gave up sports and barely left his room and we didn't know what to do none of us had experienced mental illness before so we didn't act accordingly because we didn't know what the right way to act was, he has attempted suicide 3 times and i wont get into details about that because its private and frankly hard to talk about but he said he had never contemplated it before and it had just gotten stuck in his head one day, for me it was the hardest time of my life so far and i learnt a lot from it, we know have a good support system around him and although hes not "cured" hes in better shape now then he was back then. if you see a friend or loved one having some problems or showing signs that something is wrong then talk to them, its really not that hard to ask if they are ok its only 3 words Are You Ok, sometimes people need someone to talk to and try to help them and if you don't know how to help someone there are helplines out there that will help you help someone, suicide helplines aren't just there to help the person in need they are also there for people who need the help to help someone in need, they take it very seriously and will listen and give advice to you even if you are not the one in need. if you are in need of help yourself just give them a call, seek help and talk to people about it and in most countries the helpline is toll free and it might just save your life. Huge respect for Dominic Pizarro, i wish more people thought the way he does the world would be a better place if they did.

Fantastic video, I had almost forgotten about McSkillet but this video just goes to show that everyone should learn something from other peoples situations too, not just your own experiences.
If i was 17 and a millioinaire and i got allmost everything i have as income and the thong that i loved to do taken from me by one company over a phone number and i cant get treatment for the anger and haterige problems id probably go insane too

yeah i know its 2 yrs ago but i was also goin to school back then and we all moved on in life, hearing that mcskillet voice once again gives me chills like i havent heard this voice in decades
Mc Skillet was just way to young for his success. He could not handle the stress when some things went wrong and when you are in a tough situation etc. That is exactly the sort of stuff you learn while studying for example. Just the ability to fight your way through problems and to never give up.
@@TheVirumXD actually it does, he did not expect to get set back this much. When you're not aware something like that can happen to your or how to deal with it, it can crush ones ego.
Studying isn't even remotely comparable to the insurmountable stress, anxiety and depression bipolar people experience. When you enter a manic state, you have no control of your actions. His age also had nothing to do with it. Plenty of 18 year olds have faced the Taliban, ISIS and Al-Qaeda in the middle east. They completed their mission, or they gave their lives trying; but they didn't start offing themselves. This is a simple, yet very complex case of untreated mental illness.
@@mouthwash8182 What are you talking? I did not even claim that Studying is comperable to bipolar people experience?! You should honestly read before writing some random stuff. I said he probably could not cope with the situation that the ban of his sites and steam account enforced on him since he is so young and did not study for example where you learn how to deal with a insane amount of stress. But he was so young that he has never experienced anything like that.
Just discovered your channel yesterday (and started playing CS a week ago) You are amazing The way you cover the content is fascinating The content you choose to talk about is fascinating You are amazing - keep up the incredible work - Im sure you will explode soon - you deserve it! Much love from Israel :)
when everyone was bashing him after he did what he did I knew exactly what it was. Its easy for people to judge when they havent gone through something. Maybe its just my personality but I like to not jump to conclusions too much and I try to think about the other side of the story. When I looked up what he said and what his actions were prior to his death I felt like it was pretty obvious that he was seriously destroyed mentally, but people continued to bash him. I definitely feel horrible for the 2 people he ended up killing, but its not fair to necessarily blame only mcskillet. The cops literally had the information to take him in against his will and didnt. I blame the police more than I blame mcskillet
Yeah when people were saying stuff like 'he did it just because he was banned' or 'he was having a temper tantrum', I thought it was so obvious that there was something seriously wrong with his mental state at the time for him to do that.
Back in 2016 when I was only 16-17 years old myself, McSkillet contacted me on a Reddit post I made outing SkinFreak not only taking ideas, but also blatantly stealing the exact footage from McSkillet from his videos to be used in his own videos with hard evidence. For a few days we worked pretty tirelessly on not only the connection between the videos but the scripting and the allegations to ensure everything was completely concrete before he uploaded the video. I took a break for a couple years after the rank curve update, came back and found he'd murdered a mother and daughter with a car bought on the funds and the platform I'd fought with him to defend, and I felt like absolute pure shit. Sure I've played, but I haven't had the ability to enjoy CS since. Thank you for shedding some light on the circumstances. It definitely doesn't excuse the actions but it'll help me sleep a little easier knowing that with or without the input of anyone else around him, things probably still would have ended up the same way.

Great video. I see youtubers cursing and making fun of everything he did. In hindsight, this guy was really smart. Imagine owning 3 websites that are cash flow positive when you are 18. I know what mania does to people, experienced it first hand, so I can relate. Rip OG

He was one of my favorite cs go youtubers... I really miss his videos. And as a person with a mental illness myself, I felt very sorry for McSkillet back then despite other people wishing him to rot in hell, some just have no idea what impact a mental illness can have on your mind.
So glad you made a video on this, feels like no one really properly covered this story or wanted to speak about it, despite it being one of the biggest and most tragic things to happen with CSGO. RIP
@@inaki.arambarri And unable to control himself which led to him murdering a mother and a 12 year old. Do you not blame drunk drivers for killing others? McSkillet may have had some shit going on but regardless he was a worthless human for being selfish enough to take half of a family with him.
@@Frostyev you're no one to judge him, pretty sure you've not been in that situation and you never been in any of the two positions (mcskillet or for example, the father of the family). still, i understand what you say because it is a very fucked up case. much respect to you bro
I'm glad you focus on the issue of mental health. You established Mcskillets frame of mind without trying to push for sympathy for him. Do I still have scorn against Mcskillet for what he did? Yes but there's some understanding now that he needed help and there were people who tried and who could have helped prevent this but they failed. When I used to hear Mcskillet brought up I would usually just get mad, but now I think all I will feel is sadness. You are a stand up guy heyzues wish you all the best m8.
Dominic is a strong man to forgive mckillet for what he did to his mother and sister. If it were me I would’ve been wishing for the worst and wanting to do the worst to the murderer. I hope Dominic and his family have a good fortunate future
This video is so hard to watch. I remember crying the day I heard about this. We all wanted to be mad at mcskillet for taking the lives of others but we couldn’t. He was such an influential person in me and my friends lives and he was battling his own demons and felt like that was the only way out. Miss you buddy.
thank you for this very eye opening video. putting a light on this makes me wonder why no one tried earlier. very unfortunate to have someone's name be so soiled for so long after his death. i hope he finds peace knowing that someone shared his full story.
Yeah, I remember when the news broke and I remember how everyone was disgusted by him in his steam comments. I am very glad that they privated it shortly after. A shame really, how the people of the internet reacted.
@@vazione5410 of course he did, but it is outrageous to see that people actually wished his family harm and wrote stupid comments like 'i hope you rot in hell'. You should NEVER wish anyone harm. Whoever does is not a good person
I really love his videos. I always dreamed of getting a decent job and buying those skins I see in his videos. I never knew this happened until now. I just noticed that he stopped uploading contents on his channel (Reddit is really not in the minds of people in my place). I just thought he stopped to create a new channel or try streaming. So much respect to him.
I knew he was special when I, in my mid twenties at the time, was taking his investment advice seriously. But it wasn't until the whole 'plagiarism from SkinFreak' episode occurred that you could see how he hadn't yet fully matured. I feel like you really shed some light on the situation with insight that is likely new to most of us.
Even if He was “broke” he was also a child lol and he grew up in the same place as me it was an upper middle class suburban area and his parents most definitely could support him even if he was a NEET. It’s also a very isolated bubble of rich people whose kids have no life perspective. Most likely he sacrificed his high school education/social life for csgo and thought his life was over/purposeless. It’s probably rough when you are the only person you know who didn’t go to college and is still at home with no friends and no foreseeable future. Being stuck there alone where there are only children and parents in their 50s would make any young adult go crazy, trust me. But yeah, with just some years of hard work he could’ve found himself back on a normal life path compared to his peers.
It’s crazy to think how the son and brother of the people McSkillet killed managed to forgive him, but every random RU-vid comment says he should rot in hell. It shows how little most people really care about mental illness
He murdered a mother and her 12 year old child by trapping them in the car while they burnt to crisps. Who cares what their family thinks, the dude was a coward and a massive POS. Deserves nothing but the worst.
Ofcource he had a mental ilness, isn’t that normal for someone who commits suicide in such a manner? If you throw “a tantrum” by killing yourself then you are not just “mad”. Then you need help. Not this villification that he got. RIP.
Excellent video, Heyzeus. I feel like McSkillet's content did a lot for the community and regardless of his actions outside of his youtube videos he should be remembered for how informative his videos were and the glamour he brought to a understated trading scene.
The fact that the police didn't do anything to stop him from doing what he did is pretty upsetting. I cant even think what could've been if they have just put him in the Police car and taken him to the hospital. R.I.P The OG Mcskillet. Thank you for not forgetting this man.
I know he made mistakes, but once a person passes away you should always respect that soul and not address their mistakes. May god put all the lost souls of that day to rest.
Dominic God bless him. Lost his mom and sister. In his heart he has forgiveness. I'm a psychiatric nurse I can only imagine how manic his behaviors were. It's a shame the cops didn't take a more proactive approach. Prayers to the families
@@Person-el3sf he wasn't mentally okay and didn't know what he was doing. if the son/brother of the victims can forgive him and understand that then there's no reason why we can't
so sad that people like you can't recognize that he literally killed a 12 year old that was going to live a long and full filling life, but yeah, lets just drive in the opposite lane like its gta and because why not. sooo sad that people don't have compassion for mcskillet. Lol.
@@rive3051 sad that people like you dont realise that the kid didnt get the help he desperately needed despite there being huge red flags for several days prior to his suicide and still nobody helped him, he wasn't in control of what he was doing he was just going on autopilot
@@rive3051 He was 6 years older. He also had a full life ahead of him. What we should be blaming is the cops that didn't take him in. A man with bipolar disorder has no self control.
Damn this had a way more sad ending than I thought, also sad to see that despite the mom talking to the police asking for help they don't help. Everyone blames McSkillet for his actions but he wasn't in the right state of mind and the people who cared for him realized this, but despite their efforts nobody decided to help.
@@ravin7047 so you mean to say a person living in California, the most liberal and accepting city for such persons wasn’t understanding enough for him? I’d like to know which other place in the world would’ve been more supportive. Please enlighten me 🙏
99% of the comments on videos covering this back when it happened were people saying he was a horrible person and hes a murderer. I always felt bad for him and i loved some of his videos, im glad someone covered this...
I am heart broken for him Holy sh*t he had a hard time. That must've been a nightmare.. Could someone have saved him before this escalated like that? I'm so sad for him. His dad tried to stop him that day. Oh my God he must've been feeling like hell.
@@TheOperatorKB I'm heart broken for all of them dawg. Everyone. McSkillet + McSkillet's family, as well as Aileen & Aryana and their family. I'm not usually soft but this shit is heartbreaking. If only the laws were different and he coulda got 5150'd things would've been different
