@@armanclark2401 the officer couldn't have tell just like that, that there's something more deep in this case. it was intentional and not to mock them or anything, the joke only been said because to make the air less "tense" between the individuals.
Literally so easily. I don't know why cops don't undergo psychiatrist training or keep them on staff. All the signs were there and all the right reaching out was done
@@thriftsensei3713 My heart is also breaking at the bodycam footage. I don't really think much can be changed without potentially taking away civil liberties. You can't force somebody to be detained for pysch eval if there isn't provable danger. Don't know how you could change that sort of policy without compromising freedoms tbh.
@@KanataGamer if they had trained individuals that could evaluate people on visits like this they could involuntary commit people pretty common practice if someone is deemed a danger to themselves or others and a psychologist would quickly pick that up off of the reckless driving and saying their skin is so tough that bullets can't hurt them.
I don't understand how confessing to driving at 125mph on the wrong side of the road isn't considered a danger to himself and others. And in addition to that, he threatened his close family etc. I am sure the cops could have done something if they wanted to... People have been attacked by the police for less...
I think it's because he didn't confess to them. From the police's point of view it was just a rumour that had no evidence to it. Having been in simular situations myself I actually understand why the police didn't want to speak with him, in most cases getting the police involved in such scenarios just escelates the situation further, I've seen that exact thing happen with a friend of mine who was also in a bad way. This time it just so happens that a personal talk with him from the police probably would have done a difference...
He didn't confess, that's called "hearsay" because it's from a 3rd party saying that he said something. He didn't actually say it, they said that he said it. The kind of thing that would get the police officer (rightfully) thrown in prison or at least fired and probably punished. I do not trust his family. Imagine trying to talk to your parents about how you feel and they try to get you institutionalized when you're doing better than they are (professionally speaking) before you become an adult.
The fact that his parents got a lawsuit on them for not acting sooner is wild. They literally called the cops and the cops denied him and they get penalty for it? Like what the FUCK?!
@@SpecialKthx they literally cannot do anything else if they want justice and compensation. dont blame the fucking victims please. their son is still the one doing the bad thing here.
I feel the victim family lawsuit involving the family of Trevor is probably because of procedures and the only way to get some compensation out of it. The wild one in my opinion is the State against Trevor's parents, is inane having actual footage and evidence that show the neighbor and their parents tried many times to keep Trevor on check and asked help of the police that refused to act and take it seriously, is basically trying to absolve the police department of wrong doing and pin all fault into Trevor's family.
It's so important to check in on your friends and make the effort to connect with them on a deeper level. I used to play games regularly with McSkillet, Juicy, and Kryoz, and back then, everything seemed perfectly normal-nothing felt off. McSkillet was genuinely one of the kindest people you could ever meet or talk to, which makes what happened even more difficult to comprehend. It's a tragic reminder that we can never fully know what someone might be going through. Thanks for sharing this information with the community Sparkles or Ed, it's definitely good to hear more about it. and perhaps we can uncover more about the reasoning behind his mental state to bring awareness to it.
@@mattcs people viewed skillet as a guy who chose to drive on the wrong side of the road with a clear mind, almost intentionally choosing to ignore the factors of mental health that were evident. it was only after the heyzeus video that perception changed on a large scale
Can’t imagine the pain these families are going through. 18 years old, didn’t realise he was that young and clearly was suffering mentally a lot and likely wasn’t ready for these huge life events.
still doesnt give him the right to do what he did though just cause hes crashing doesnt mean he had to literally crash into people, him going the opposite way was NOT a mistake. RIP to the innocent souls
@@greatmark1612 I completely agree. I’m just thinking at 18 to have all the online attention money and perhaps sinister parties targeting him/scamming/bans he probably wasn’t mature enough to handle all of that alone and lost his marbles. Then even with parents trying to get him help they couldn’t. I guess if he were still under 18 his parents could make him go to therapy/confiscate his car idk to minimise risk and give him some time away from everything. Instead he’s lost in his delusions until something actually happened to allow authorities to intervene instead of preventing it in the first place.
I grew up watching McSkillet and he seemed like a solid dude who just needed help badly.. Watching that body cam footage is so frustrating because you can clearly tell how much his parents want him to get help and treated but the police just won't even do the bare minimum. Sad situation
the point the cop says he doesn't want to start something physical with the kid and have 10 other cops show up, is something to go after. as you said the bare minimum, the cops made up their minds that they didn't want to help and this shouldn't be their problem. in hindsight it all seems so easy to solve from that situation though. if only the cops did just go to his room, ruffle some feathers and have him arrested, while in custody they would've have him eventually seen by some sort of mental professional and one thing leads to another of him getting help. But ya to sum it all up, the cops were almost at their wits end in that situation.
don’t blame the police, for all they know the parents could just be making this up cause he pissed his parents off, police have rules that they must follow and they explained them very clearly, if they didn’t follow those rules that would be unconstitutional and they would be violating his rights. its just a very unfortunate circumstance that everyone was in but no one could really do anything about
@@GuaptologistWhen something like this happens, the police takes the suspect to their headquarters and question them. If necessary, they appoint a psychologist and lock them up. Yes, the police are the ones to be blamed. If not, would you say that a doctor who didn't prevent their patient's suicide wouldn't be liable for their deaths? McSkillet was someone in dire need of help, and the police refused to help him. I highly doubt that there are any laws against taking someone to the headquarters when you have death threats and suicidal thoughts against you and/or others.
This video really touched me. I lost a friend, basically 2, at 17 due to reckless driving. Although, my friend was not manic. There was no reason for his behavior, he was just a young dumb teenager who had fun driving fast. I was supposed to be in the car with him that day. Me and 2 buddies planned to go to a lake/dam to hike and have a good day. I woke up late, they had left my street 15 minutes before I woke up. The passenger in the car was my friend that is my next door neighbor I've known since I was 4 years old. He told me they had already driven to far, and couldn't turn around to come get me. I often think about those extra 15 minutes of sleep. About 2 hours later, my father came home from work and opened my door while I was doing math homework. He asked me if I knew so and so's name, I said yes. My father was a California Highway patrol officer. He told me, "so and so is dead, he lost control of his car going 130mph on the shoulder on the 65 and crashed into the exit sign, looking like a double fatal but the passenger is unrecognizable from his injuries". The crash was originally being reported over the highway patrol comms as a double fatal. My dads partner was the one working the scene, transporting my neighbor into the ambulance that ultimately saved his life. The driver died and was decapitated on impact. My neighbor in the passenger seat, was the only seat in the car that had a chance at survival due to how the car was launched into the pole after taking out near 300 feet of guard rail. So if I was there that day, I'd be dead, or my neighbor would be dead. Who knows what seat who would've been in. He was so messed up from the crash, and all of his belongings being ejected and lost on impact. He was a John Doe. I was the only person capable of explaining how I knew it was him. I had to go to the hospital and ID him for the police and was the one who had to go tell his family that their son was in a coma in critical condition. That was one of the hardest days of my life. My neighbor broke just about everything in his body, was scalped, had to get it re-stitched on in surgery, and spent 3 months in a coma and 8 in a rehab facility. He's physically full recovered, walks fine like it never happened. But mentally he's never been the same, it reset his mental capacity to that of a child in elementary school. Speeding isn't cool, speeding gets people killed.
@@JensonTM Yeah my friend that passed, the first time I was ever in his car he hit like 75 in a 25, going up a tiny ass road before whipping into my neighborhood like a maniac. When we got to my house, I grilled his ass for driving like an idiot and to never do that again with me in his car. He was super understanding and apologized and said he wouldnt. He stayed true to that word, he never drove like that when I was with him again. I often think maybe if I woke up on time and was there, he wouldn't of been driving like that and my friend wouldn't be mentally handicapped for the rest of his life.
@@igk916 dont do that to yourself. You really really dont have to do that. You already experienced enough and have a big enough package.

@@Lvggah I don't blame myself for it, its more or less just a feeling of a hypothetical what if, maybe if I was there that day things could've turned out differently.
I had a buddy who went to school with Trevor. They weren’t good friends, but they had spoken a bunch of times and they talked about CS:GO all the time. He was apparently really nice before this whole incident. So unfortunate
@@noyes. in that notion, you would consider not euthanizing a brain dead patient on a death bed in a hospital even though they would be clinically suffering for the rest of their life, based on their rights and what you feel like they should want?
The problem is that something always needs to happen, before action is taken. Happened to friends of me, and myself, too. A friend of mine was harassed, molested and threatened online, went to the police, nothing happened. I was very suicidal and went to a clinical therapist, who worked at a psychiatric facility. He didn't listen to me at all, I had to repeat things I just told him. When the session was over, he told me how worried he was about my safety on my way home, even diagnosed me with severe depression, and then did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing, even though he was well aware that I needed to take a train home, and that there was a very busy road on the way to the train station. I am so glad that I didn't throw myself in front of a train or car. Wasn't far away from doing that, especially after such a disappointing therapy session. Two years ago, my friend took her own life, after being harassed, molested, and threatened online, after she went to the police with it and exposed the people who had harassed her, but the police did NOTHING, and it kept happening, to the point where she couldn't take it anymore, and on June 14th, 2022, took her own life. She deserved so much better than this, and was one of the few genuine friends who actually cared.
I am so so sorry for your loss! As someone how was so close to ending it all a few times, and currently going through a hard time again, I can prouldy say I am still alive, and want it to stay that way! I hope you are doing better yourself now, and have found a way to cope with her death. Just know that you are loved, you are worth and your life means a lot! Love you bro
Feeling sorry for your loss mate! Keep it strong, tomorrow is gonna be a better day, even though we don't know each other, if you need to talk and have a new buddy from across the world, lmk... Hugs brother!
I got kind of simillar story, the guy was threating my family for 1 year and so (writing us and our friends on social media, making fake ai pictures of my family etc etc) It got so bad that he burned our car too and he was thinking we will never find him and finnaly after 1 year we caught him. Police arrested him and released him after 55 days and now till the court time comes he is still freely walking around and continued with same harrasment to our family (again). Police havent did a shit bout him but ye thats life if you ask me, you gotta stay strong..
Watching this video 1 month after i lost my friend to mental health issue aswell. I can't adress enough how important it is to talk to someone when you are feeling down. Happy you put some light on this issue. It is okay to be sad and cry. EVEN FOR MEN !! Thanks for this Video Sparkles. RIP Michael
People don't care, bro, lol. Especially "Mental Health Advocates". The absolute worst, most vile people I've met claim to care, but only do so to appear morally superior. My friend was murdered, and I cried at his memorial, and two female "friends" laughed at me for it, and they were supposed to be peer counsellors, lmao. In life, you are born alone, and death will be the same. RIP to your friend.
Thank you for your comment. I have been struggling with mental health issues for a while now (don't worry I have a psychiatrist and a therapist), and talking to people about it has been getting me the help I am needing. Also holy shit, idk how crying became so difficult, I was a crybaby as a kid but I haven't been able to cry in years. Don't get me wrong, the need to cry is there I abundance, but for some reason I just can't.
@@Vitalitay But sparkles shows that according to the law they could do something and they had atleast 1 threat that they had evidence of. I am not saying the cops are at fault but it is ridiculous that such a situation took place in the first place. If there wasn't such a culture of laws and technicality lawsuits it wouldn't be such an issue. The fact that the family got fucking sued for not acting soon enough is just icing on the cake.
He was the undisputed OG skins RU-vidr. To this day, I can still remembered vividly how we chatted about skins trading, and he is the reason why I built my stattrak gem collections in the first place. What happened was absolutely heart breaking, and I sincerely hope everyone to takes care of their mental health, and be surrounded with people that love you and you love. Many remembers him as the pioneer of skins content influencer, but I remember him as a fellow collector who made me craft a meme P250 sand dune. RIP.
I am glad he touched your heart the same way he did with mine. I remember subbing to his channel while he had 30-40K subs. Like you I remember chatting him via channels comments section and he was always there to give his comments. The guy made me spent all my money on skins without eating and drinking 😂😂 September 2018 I sold all my inventory to buy cryptocurrency after his passing because I lost my will to keep my inventory. The inventory I sold worth 10K+ dollars rn and it shows that he was the visionary of the community. This video reminded me of those nostalgic times where I geniunely felt excited about his videos and his replies to me. Until this day I felt somewhat pissed about the events that happened back than but now with some clarification, I feel nothing but sadness towards his passing. He is the OG burrito brother and may he rest in peace.
I bought $20 of p250 sand dunes at one point cus of him and had a couple hundred. Rip to mcskillet and the people who met their demise with him. Take care of yourselves guys please you’re all loved even if you don’t know it.
Thanks for covering this Sparkles. I think over the years, some of the details of this have been lost, and people boil it down to his steam ban causing him to do something reckless. This situation is obviously more nuanced, and truly a tragedy for everyone involved.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I always thought he had a snap so seeing ppl online trashing him for being "murderous" back then always sucked to see :(
My cousin had a manic episode and it’s sad because you genuinely don’t recognize that person anymore. I used to watch Mcskillet in my early high school days way back in the day. I really wish the police would’ve intervened despite the statutes they had to follow based on moral sake of public safety. Thank you for this video Sparkles. Genuinely love the effort you still put into RU-vid after all these years
While I understand a significant amount of your viewers enjoy more of your gambling/tradeup content, I have to say that for these kind of documentary-esque videos that you absolutely smash it out of the park every single time. It motivates me to work on something similar for some of the earlier tournaments in CS:GO. Thank you for the video, great work as always.
I have seen your contents for about 8 years, I didn't realised it has been this long since we last hear about him. Personally it was nice to hear more about this case and gotten to see more perspective on what has been happening to him. I am deeply sadden by the fact his parents tried to care and help him and the police couldn't do much to help either and cost them public endangerment. 🙏🏻
I work as a security guard in Southern California and Ashley Falls is one of the schools we patrol. I’ve been there several times and never knew about this history. I just got in to Counter strike maybe a month or two before the release of CS2 so I never heard of this story before. This is so shocking to me for something like this to be so close to home and associated with someone in this community that I’ve so recently became a part of. Wow I am speechless right now. I’m sorry this happened to one of your friends sparkles and I’m glad you made this video.
I finally got some time to sit down and watch the full video. I am absolutely devastated to listening to the full story laid out. I never watched Mcskillets videos but i knew how big he was around the time i got into Csgo. It was clear that mental health issues was the main factor, but i was surprised to see the body cam footage. His parents desperately trying to get the help he needed. I was heartbroken hearing the son of the deceased family side. It's very frustrating to hear the state's side of the events. I appreciate you taking the time to making a video on a very difficult topic. Highlighting the need for better Mental health treatment.
That's actually so sad, i definitely thought it was because of his inventory too. It was due to cops not listening to his parents to get him the help he needs. Look out for your brothers and sisters man sometime's we really aren't okay. Thank you for this Sparkles
No not at all. Cops CANNOT exploit/use words of mouth to violate his civil rights, hints why they kept asking if he was seen or has been seen by a doctor to have proof. Its 100% NOT the cops fault. Its the lawmakers faults. The cops did EVERYTHING they could
I truely have not heard a more NPC conversation from the cops... The parents are trying so hard to convince them he need to be taken to get help and they're just like "when he does something thats when we'll step in". Its Sickening.
I don't think you were listening The Sherrif or state will take them to prison for an unjustifiable and false arrest It's the laws that prevent them from taking action Who will help another if it means they get taken to prison and have their life ruined? You guys who berate cops for not breaking the law are fucking retarded
@@liubodimaka7272 Not trying to excuse him but I think it was things like that coming before 18 years old could made him manage himself incorrectly, in my eyes he is also a victim of the poor acting from the government/police/state
@@liubodimaka7272 im not saying what he did do, was right. Iam saying that if this was your brother or sister, getting blocked in by your father and one of them had a mental episode, you would underatand that its not right. But you would feel sorry for your siblings becuse you know its not them in there.
One of my best friends is chronically maniac. He is one of the smartest and good hearted people in the world. Everytime he gets a maniac episode I fear for his life. Common sense doesn´t exist when somebody is having a manic episode. He once jumped down a dam (which should have definitly killed him) because the swirls in the water were matching his shirt. It usually takes months of very heavy medication to bring his mind back to where it was but I always try to show him, that I dont like him less when he is on hard medication and therefor talking and thinking slow. If McSkillet had an episode, the police would have registered that right away if only they would have gone and talked to him... I think that the police werent in the wrong individually. In my opinion psychological behaviours like that should be looked at way more intensely during police training, so that officers have a better view on what might be going on. So sad to hear the true story but also thankful for you to share this Sparkles! Hope that the families and friends are doing as well as they can...
@@ReallyDavid01 After reading that all you can think of is a simple typing error? He is quite clearly not even a native speaker of English, and at the same time your personal account's "about me" section states that you are from the United States of America where English is the closest to an official language you have there. There are other languages than just English. I personally am from Finland, we speak Finnish, not English.

Thanks for covering this and going into more detail, the entire situation is truly sad. Trevor and I made similar videos and talked frequently back in the day. He was one of my first subs on YT. I still think about this situation a lot and it was helpful to see you shed new light on it.
It's actually pretty common how many people practically beg for help and they are turned away for one reason or another, it wasn't that he thought the police or bullets couldn't kill him.. he meant nothing could compare to the pain he was feeling inside. To people feeling this pain even death can seem like relief.
@@MrSHURIKENCHOIt means they can critically think and infer what the phrase meant douche canoe. I also felt the same thing and struggle with similar feelings.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video that took for sure months if not YEARS to complete! And I hope the whole community gets a better understanding of the situation.
still baffles me how there were several people saying he was not mentally well and needed help even a licensed psychiatrist said he needs to be diagnosed and be on a 5150 hold yet the cops were afraid to do anything. Jesus christ. That whole situation could have been prevented and 3 lives could still be here today because of the cops refusing to even try to help
School shooters also use the “mentally unwell” excuse. Should we all decide to support them too? Ohhh you only like to support the multimillionaires when they murder innocent people. You both sound sick in the heads yourselves.
not trying to defend the cops but they were kind of correct at least with what they were explaining to trevor's parents. just because he said he went fast in his car doesnt mean anything, and unless his parents could show credible threats of violence , the police cant really do much. Trevor needed to be diagnosed or at least evaluated by a professional who says he DOES in fact suffer from a mental health disorder. then whatever trevor tells that person can be used as justification for the 5150. simply having a neighbor give their opinion unfortunately doesnt hold up if trevor decided to sue the state for violating his rights. being involuntarily committed to a mental facility is a HUGE deal and isnt to be taken lightly, that's why there are criteria that need to be met (as stated by the cop on scene with trevor's parents). the cops DID NOT "refuse to help", they told the parents what needed to happen for them to essentially arrest their son for having a manic episode. what if a bunch of people around you gaslit you into thinking you were crazy then threw you in mental health jail? thats why he needed a PROFESSIONAL evaluation and a mental illness DIAGNOSIS for the police to commit him. anyone who says the police were useless have NO IDEA how big of a deal a 5150 is, including you
@@serendip1tyz they need to have probable cause to do that and they need to be able to prove that the person is acting as a result of a mental disorder. they explained that they didn't have enough probable cause and they had no way to prove that he had a mental disorder. thats why they needed to see proof of specific threats and why they couldnt take the neighbors' word about his mental health condition (she wasnt his psychiatrist). its a horrible situation, the police were trying to be careful about wrongfully arresting trevor and you cant blame his actions that followed on those officers whatsoever
Props to you for still shedding light on something which might've been just swept under the carpet. And even going through the entire story, with a conclusion. There have been so many cases in my life where, if someone could've said something, or done something, we would've been all good
I really enjoy watching your videos, but for me this was the best video you've made so far! Mental health is something that is often overlooked or ignored, and it should be taken VERY SERIOUSLY! Thank you for this video!
I have to say, this video is good for clearing up the big idea that "McSkillet unalived himself and 2 people because his inventory got trade banned" but I just hope people understand that Trevor was still an adult, a young one at that, but 18. He knew he was having mental issues, but he never chose to get help for his problem. I don't know if most people can forgive him for murdering a kid and their mom despite the clarification. The lesson being if you recognize yourself going down any kinda dark path, you need to get help, you may think your fine but if everyone you love and know is asking you to help yourself, you need to do it. To me, this is another cautionary tale of someone ignoring their mental health until they broke, and tragically took people with them. RIP to everyone involved, can't get over that kid was so young.
I don't think he should be forgiven. His actions directly killed 2 people, including a child, and no amount of mental issues makes that excuseable. He also made a bunch of kids addicted to gambling, so that's fun.
@@Dubulcle Dude he murdered a child and a mother, like I'm sure you're just rage baiting but I seriously don't hope you blame people for not just blanket forgiving him.
With all due respect to you and your friendship with him, regardless of his mental state at the time, and whatever was going on, it does not excuse the fact that he died a murderer. Yes, the state is culpable in this as well, as they should have done more, BUT, his actions are that of his own and its his actions that killed 2 people.
@@scruffex3736 you dont understand the concept apparently. Ones mental state doesn't exclude them from the repercussions of their actions. Creating excuses like this is a stupid concept to try and get those who did wrong off the hook. The guy fucked up and paid the price, regardless of what was going on in his life, and took 2 other people with him. If he lived i would like to see him rot in prison for his entire life. Also well done with a stupid deflect of just say "sue him then". I'm sure your a person who takes accountability for the stupid shit they do.
@@kdawgmaster youre talking about the accountability of a dead man without seeing the paradox. Of course the dude was responsibile for his actions. That you keep holding on to that desire for revenge("justice") doesnt help the victims family tho and it doesnt serve you either. Edit: also, where did i "create excuses"?
I remember being in middle school and watching McSkillet's videos all of the time. He and you are what got me into skins and more into CS as a whole. Was the end of a very very dark era of CS and RU-vid in general when the incident occurred. I hope the families of everyone involved are doing better.
Im going to give my 2 Cents here about this topic. Men in General are extremely susceptible to mental health disorders between 17-20. McSkillet from a late teen was in some HEAVY and HIGH stress situations with money he was earning Millions, Juggling drama, Bans, Scrutiny and overall limelight public opinions. From his old videos he seemed extremely calm and pretty level headed for a late teen doing what he was doing but as the male brain progresses and develops if you are going through high stress situations you can induce Schizo/Manic behaviors as I myself from the age of 17-19 Had a serious mental health decline and was pretty much bat shit crazy driving my cars fast thinking i was essentially invincible and ironically this whole Brain thing with men around that age is why the U.S and the UK and many other countires recruit young men to go fight because they have a lack of understanding about death it doesnt really compute with the young brain of a male so they are more likely to go BATSHIT in any situation putting them close to death because it doesnt scare them. McSkillet was unwell BUT it wasnt a slow progressive like something he had dealt with for years this was Sudden and a Rapid increase in Manic behavior and that in itself is the most dangerous part about being a young Male because the flood of hormones and new emotions literally and figuratively shut down who you once were and take over a shadow form of yourself and you do stupid shit that the normal version of themselves wouldnt even consider to be an option... Unfortunately this case is a sad one because we all knew Trevor but its a sad and highly common case among-st young men and its not something people really talk about. Family gets harder because you alienate yourself, Work gets insufferable because you are losing your mind and want to literally go to war with everyone 24/7. And girlfriends/boyfriends (If you are gay etc) Become challenging because of the fact the brain is changing you can very easily scare away anyone that cares for you because of how much of a danger to society you could and or CAN be. The world is too pressurized for young people now to compete with the elders to survive it is too competitive for someone at a young age to try and grasp. unless you have help it can get extremely daunting and turn someone into a mental case because its too much to handle for a young developing mind. God save the young Men. God save the young Women.
even if it sounds dumb and unrealistic, we/you never know how it feels when you never experienced it. For some people depression sounds unreasonable too, why would you want to die, just be happy. Thats just not how the human brain works
never thought that I'd see another video regarding McSkillet and I think this is the best one yet. Thanks for being respectful to all parties involved.
He put pics of two dead people on a clickbait thumbnail. This person died 6 years ago and he is capitalizing off of it. There is quite literally next to zero decency in this video and it’s shocking you think there is respect to all parties.
@@user-of8gd2ix5ican you read? The first thing the video says it “[ALL PROCEEDS OF THIS VIDEO WILL BE DONATED TO MENTAL HEALTH CHARITIES ]” in all caps. He talks about how the event went down and doesn’t does defame or play down any of the event when he talked about it. He was very respectful of it and was only thing he was critical of was the LAPD for not caring enough about doing their job properly. As far as the thumbnail, it fits with the rest of the channel and honestly doesn’t really mean much. I’d you don’t like him don’t watch him.

Sparkles, thank you for being such a great RU-vidr man. You always talk well, your content is always presented well, you give huge friendly vibes, and we appreciate you. Lastly, thank you for covering the story which I’m sure will bring to light those who know nothing about it.
After years of this accident, we go back to see that it was a series of very unfortunate events that lead to this sad disclosure. Thanks Sparkles to bring this to light and to respectfully talk about both sides.
the police could not have stopped this unless trevor saw a mental health professional who diagnosed him with a mental health disorder. they cant just take the word of the people around trevor and throw him in a mental facility without him being diagnosed with mania or bipolar or whatever it was. if the police arrested him they could have gotten fired and sued which is what they tried to explain to trevor's parents. if you dont know anything about the 5150 process you need to stop blaming the officers
@@argonaut8560 it took the family five years and several settlements that got shot down until a judge finally paid them out. Both families also agreed that there should have been a Psychiatric Emergency Response team instead of the police. Maybe try reading the actual case details? The police made a judgement call based on what they knew. In retrospect you can say whatever you want, but at the time there wasn't a lot they legally could have done. Everyone knows you dont call the local police when someone is mentally unwell unless they're actively being violent or causing problems. Makes no sense that Trevors family would call 911 while he was asleep in his room. You're just some kid watching this after the fact, you would have no clue what to do if you were an officer in that situation, so quiet down :)
thank you for this video sparkles, something similar happened to my best friend who suddenly became manic and schizophrenic thinking life was a video game sadly he died to suicide by cop on a 5150 call and a lot of people criminalized him in comments on social media etc. but he was genuinely one of the kindest people i’ve ever known and we need to spread more awareness to people to understand that a lot of these situations are good people who have mental health issues and need help not hate.
It's a heartbreaking situation yes, but no matter how dark your mind gets you still have the mental capacity to know right from wrong, it was so painfully obvious that going on a suicide run into oncoming traffic was NOT the way to go about it, and in his own ignorance he killed a woman and young child. So yes, there is no fucking excuse I'm afraid, under no circumstance do you EVER take innocent lives with you just because you're suicidal.
Well yeah, we judge people based on the actions they take. At the end of the day, he got 2 people killed, a mother and her 12 year old daughter. Imagine how the father felt having his wife and daughter taken away by some idiotic rich kid who drove into oncoming traffic, shameful really to try to excuse his behavior. Yes, the situation should of been avoided by getting proper help, and yes, the cops should of done their job better. But that did not happen
This is the first i am even hearing of all this, so from a completely outsiders perspective, it really sounds like he was suffering.. and suffering a lot. Sounds like he never got the help he was clearly asking for. It's very sad to see all of this and my he rest in peace
@@cammurray255 'no matter how dark your mind gets you still have the mental capacity to know right from wrong' this is just completely and utterly wrong and simply by saying you've outed yourself an out of touch moron who has no idea what they're talking about. I'll give you some help - google 'psychosis' and you can start feeling embarrassed about how wrong you are. And to be clear this doesn't make killing people ok. Trevor should've been taken in by the police. He wasn't, that's why people are dead and why the city had to pay a big settlement.
Do you not hear what the police are saying? The things he had done didn't meet the criteria for detaining him, and on top of that, they never witnessed any of the infractions he committed. If they arrest or detain him based on things that they don't have evidence for, they're gonna get sued and probably lose. Hindsight is 20/20 so it's easy to say they should've done more, but they didn't know what he would go on to do. They did their job without breaking the law, thats what they're supposed to do.
@@mcspike5003 Yeah - I see the LAW part of it, but I dont like the attitude that something must happen first before police can interact and I hope that will change one day. I think we need preventive action in a lot of cases
@@csgoM1LLER But you said you hope they lost their job? Would you rather the police are willing to stomp on civil rights and make an arrest with no warrant or probable cause?
lmao what if your dad calls police tomorrow and says that you went crazy because you said “fuck you i will kill you” in your room while you were actually playing cs? should they be able to detain you for 72h? the police has nothing to work with, there was no evidence of practically anything, even the speeding thing there’s no proof and for all they know it could’ve been a joke. they had no business doing anything, im actually surprised to how polite they were and how they explained everything in such a good manner
Skillet was only 2 years older than me. I looked up to him as I was at the age where I wanted to be a content Creator and seeing someone so close to my age succeed told me it was possible. The news of his passing all those years ago hit me like a freight train and haunted me. It made me realize not everyone is built for this, their psyche just breaks under the pressure. Its a big part as to why I stopped pursuing content creation. I wish he was still around and got the help he desperately needed so all those innocent lives and his own could still be here. Hard to think its been 6 years.
Man, I remember hearing about this, he was one of my favorite creators at the time. It’s so sad to lose such a great soul so early. Prayers to his family, I know there are still so many unanswered questions they have.
On the day of ,i remember watching these clips in random and having a negative view of mcskillet. put them all together and it becomes clear the neglect played a huge role , RIP to all souls lost that day. o7 good video sparkles
R.I.P for enyone involved with this, its so sad to hear about and now i know more. Thank you for the nice video Sparkles You will always be my fav cs youtuber
Thank you for this short film. Im glad someone finally explained to people what happened. After his death I felt very bad, cuz i knew he couldnt do such a thing (driving on the wrong side of a highway) because he was such a good and clever guy. I was following him since his first upload and his vids were very fresh and relaxing. I never jumped on the train of calling him a murder or defending him, I just knew we lost a real one that day R.I.P.
Seeing the footage, and also having watched Trevor's videos, it's heartbreaking to see the moments that went down before the crash. He needed serious help. his family knew it, yet when raising the alarms, they got ignored.
It is sad. Mental health is the most important thing to people's decisions. If all of us have problems with mental health we need to talk, we need specialists to help us. I hope everybody will be good and healthy to enjoy this journey of life. Be safe guys. Love you all
Wow. What a great video. I've been interested in skins for a long time and didn't really know much about this case until recently. Great video and thanks for clarifying so thoroughly. I do not think you were biased at all - really great job covering this
thank you sparkles for this very informative video. there are way too many false information about the story of mcskillet, and a video like this does really well to clear that up. rest in peace to everyone that passed away that day.
thank you for this bit of closure. its bothered me for years and years now. rip mc skillet. we need to support our people and work on communicating better with them. pay attention. life is short, and we all deserve to experience the most of it, together.
