Was Serial Squatter the "Worst Roommate Ever?" | Jamison Bachman Case Analysis 

Too bad that he didn't put all of that energy into something productive like passing the bar or helping animals. Thanks for the video. Loved your summation of this cautionary tale.

I'm surprised that Jamison lived as long as he did without getting shot by someone. It's obvious that he never tried squatting in Texas...lol.

It is beyond my comprehension how a woman would want to have a male, total stranger, as a roommate.

I'm glad you covered this case. I just went through a squatter situation at a friend's house. It's ridiculous that you have to go through so much and pay ridiculous fees to get people out of your own home. Especially if you don't feel safe!

Mental illness should be part of a person’s record even when before they end up in jail.

Have definitely seen that con tactic of using a love of pets to throw off everyone’s critical thinking. Add intimidation over petty issues, and creating a crisis, and the next thing you know, the con is living in your mother’s lakeside home, will changed and family life ruined.

It’s Pacific Heights with Michael Keaton all over again

Background checks are KEY. I'm a landlord and rented to many people from various walks of life. The walks of life, while statistically may have some correlation to being decent isn't always true. There are good and bad in every walk of life. I had to learn the hard way to do thorough checks, though the hard way could have been much worse. A background check is like fishing with good bait to help "bring the catch (the undesirable qualities) to the surface." I've seen grand larceny, attempted murder, threatening witnesses, robbery/burglary, assaults, felony drug possession, pedophilia and more show up on background checks from seemingly decent people - and that is just the criminal not counting financial (civil law issues such as evictions and so on). Don't get swindled or worse, do the checks and follow up with employment history, address history and references. If there's a shaky story likely it is unstable for a reason - and so will your tenant likely be. If you want to do a favor in this venue, I'll lend you my lighter while you buy the gasoline and watch the combining effect because that will be you.

Is it me, or was there a pattern of him choosing women to abuse as tenant from hell? .. that’s definitely something to consider in an aspect of his AWFUL behavior 🤔🤔

I saw this on Netflix and I knew that creep was a psychopath.

Bath mat placement is everything.

You are stepping it up, Dr. Grande! That plaid is awesome! Perfect fit and color!

Great video and detailed as usual. But every kid who comes home to live because of hard times, is a potential squatter. My middle son decided to "come home" and live and expected to share rent and common wealth like buy food. He has since become resentful of us, decided to not pay rent and complain that he didn't get a good "upbringing" like his friends including exposure to video games, etc. He is now a squatter and really pushing his resentment about life, and blaming us anyway he can. He does have a job, a car, and a pot habit too. We want to evict him but I think that is a little harsh, and want him to go on his own feet. Should I fear that he becomes murderous too?

I got here from the Jamison Family Deaths video. I'm getting all the Jamisons off my plate this morning.

You are ON FIRE DR. GRANDE!!!! Every video you put out about something is incredibly RELEVANT. Keep up the pace and you will hit 2 million subs before you know it!! Whoop whoop!

As I watched this episode on Netflix I thought what would Dr. GRANDE have to say about this? Glad I can hear your analysis

I watched the Netflix. I had him pegged as a malignant narcissist, aka Satan, when the plants and chairs disappeared and he gaslighted her. Unfortunately, I’ve have personal experience with these types. Alex and the others are nice people, so these types will be stalking them throughout their entire lives. Sort of reminds me of the movie “Pacific Heights.” Edited: Now I’m at the end of this, Grande says a he was all 3. For sure that’s true.

I watched the Netflix episode last night, and afterwards I was wondering if Grande covered this guy yet. Well, here we are

So I have gone back and liked every video of Dr. Grande after seeing the first 2. I am a complete fan ☺️

This whole story is like a Better Call Saul: If Jimmy never became successful. 1) Jamison and Slipping Jimmy similarity in terms of their names 2) He wanted to be a lawyer and his older brother was actually the successful lawyer who saw his brother as violent and not trustworthy 3) Older brother bailing Jimmy out of jail 4) Jamison pretends to be something he is not to get what he wants 5) he survived by staying in crowded spaces, like Jimmy in the nail salon

I was hoping there would be a video tonight and Dr Grande didn’t disappoint! Now if I just had a cheese sandwich 🥪 too!

Great video Dr Grande Hope all is well 🕊🕊

He should have rented a place in Skidmore, MO

2:50 Dr. G raising the real questions.

The whole «bail-out» thing is so foreign of a concept to me. He cut another human being with a knife… his brother bailed him out. We might have potential for development in my country, but at least we don’t just pay a price and let violent criminals back out on the streets.

He murdered at least two cats. He didn't love them.

the second episode I just sat there with my mouth open - absolutely horrifying

It amazes me how these people can " Squat " for so long. I lived in a house with my then husband for five years. We were going through a divorce and I his mother had me put out on the street within three weeks of filing for divorce. She owned the house. I was left with what I could carry. Then she tried to sue me for rent! Bottom line. He got everything. I just don't get how people can drag this out for so long and I essentially had absolutely no rights!

I would love you to also go over the other cases in the series, mainly the one from Chile !

Still no news on cheese sandwich lol first time I’ve ever seen you, but loved it.

Can you analyze KC Joy case too please?

Your hair cut looks great Doc!! Excellent vid too!

2:51 dad humor level 100 😂💕 Edit: time stamp

Why would you want to live with roommates that hate you

*Wow I really enjoyed your commentary‼️No idea why it was in the algorithm but I'm glad. Definitely subscribing. I just saw that episode 2 nights ago & 😳Smh Jamison🤦🏽*

He kind of reminds me of Hitler - not in the scale of his crimes, of course - but in his fearlessness in provoking conflict in order to get what he wants. Also, kinder to animals than to people.

"there was never any update on what happened to the cheese sandwhich" 🤣

What’s crazy is he charged at the police with an ax when they confronted him they didn’t shoot him down they tased him smfh that’s sad

Sad- they are such liars- and users.

Dr. Grande, I have a question. Can you discuss the case of Wendi Andriano? It was a murder case from 2000 that occurred in Arizona. There's not many videos discussing the case online and I think it's one you would have an interesting case on in terms of the mental health aspects.

I live in Philly but somehow never heard of this guy.

I'm surprised none of them did a background check or credit check. Or maybe his law background got him out of those problems also. Along with cash.

I just watched that story the other night. That man was just all around awful. Good video 👍

Wow. that story is crazy!

this is a rare type of person usually a mix of a crust punk and a gangster a junkie gangster usually but i call it a crust gangster lol i have done it but just in the sence i mean being a land lord in court is a very very very bad position if your tenant know anything about law

What does “excessively dependent on the world” mean?

"No update on what happened to the..." 😂🤣🤣🤣

12/8/2017 Now marked on my calendar as one of my favorite days. 8:50 into the story, a fantastic ending. That was the last soggy bath mat he will leave in the corner. The End.

Dr. Grandeee you just crack me up XD "He used his remarkable talents...to fail the bar exam."

Damn, your videos are awesome!.. yep, nothing else to add.

How is a speculative diagnosis different from a real one?

Like the glasses. You look great dr g

How can he keep doing this????

🌵❤️We love you over here in TN!! ❤️🌵

Our legal system is a total joke. Innocent law abiding citizens are repeatedly abused and mistreated by criminals and they are not held accountable. Thank you Dr. Grande for posting another very interesting case!

This story reminded me of a woman who preyed on seniors by posing as a caregiver and moving in with a senior but then not wanting to move out.. with while living in the home would cause many problems. Thank God for a good attorney that helped my mother finally get a criminal kicked out on a similar case. Maybe you could do an analysis on these types of criminals. Thanks for listening!

I binged "worst roommate ever" last night and holy cow. Each episode, especially Jamison's, was freaky!

I had a tenant who fitted both the description of Jamison and his modus operandi. He was an actual tenant so I didn't share my house with him. Although otherwise he came and, eventually, left in ways just as described by TG here. I discovered he was well versed about the local laws regarding tenancy, down to very fine detail. He took full advantage of this forcing me to go through a very expensive, long winded, high risk and extremely stressful legal eviction process, despite that he was not even resident at the property through the entire eight month period it took to get legal possession. He did take the trouble however to abuse the property at will throughout the period (yes indeed, "the law is an ass"). My lesson, and warning to anyone, when meeting with a stranger over business issues is never to let your guard down, never listen to tales of woe, never underestimate how clever some people can actually be, never fail to thoroughly check backgrounds, never buy charm, never "identify" with the person and, most of all, trust your instincts

I was hoping you’d analyze this case! What a total nightmare this human was!

His brother Harry bailed him out TWICE. Then Jameson killed him.

I've got a similar story about some who lived with me once, eventually I moved and he had to deal with the apartment landlord. Thanks for sharing, this guy was a turd. It's like his whole life was to annoy and hurt people. What a terrible legacy.

I actually cackled when he said "he used his remarkable talents to fail the bar exam" lol

The fact that he could attack police with an ax and lived to later kill himself still befuddles me. People die by police for much less.

Great timing! Just finished watching his story on the Worst Roommate Ever series :)

This reminds me of the time when my husband against my wishes allowed an elder woman to use our barn and pasture. Within a week, the old lady was squatting in our milkhouse and acting as if the entire world was plotting against her. Took two years and the sheriff to flush her out. She travels with all kinds of hooved and fanged furry pets.

He's obviously delusional. Only lunatics eat cheese sandwiches.

Dr Grande, if you are being exploited and held captive against your will, forced to make daily videos at gun point then please scratch your ear and adjust your glasses in the next video so we can send help. If not, our sincere thanks and admiration for the quality and quantity of your content. That said, could you do a video on the interviews of captured Russian soldiers in Ukraine and give your opinion on whether their denouncing Russian agression and Putin is sincere or survivalism?

The disturbing part of this case after watching this Netflix series, his brother bailed him out only to be killed, if he didn't he'd be alive today for his wife and children. Clearly, this man had issues, one's that shouldn't have been ignored, I'm surprised that everyone knew he wasn't ok yet as long as he was terrifying others then the parent's and brother were alright with that! I am sure there was more to this story, we won't ever know. Parent's have a right to be disappointed in a child but ignoring that your child is dangerous and put that abuse onto other's is not the solution. If he was dangerous or mentally ill, he should have been treated early on in his life.

My ex-best friend lived with me for six months , she did very similar things with me, turns out she was a sociopath but I got her out...all of her things are still here...I boxed them up put them in a storage room and paid for one month....apparently she failed to pay the storage and lost everything blaming me...we no longer talk!

When I had room mates, my cardinal rule was that, if they had no place else they could stay, they could not stay with me. There had to be a reason they had no other options, family, friends, public housing, personal resources, etc. It sounds cruel but, it was a hard lesson to learn.

The worst roommate ever was my ex husband.....

Coincidentally, only this week have we had a minor family disagreement about bath mat positioning. I think it might be a long overlooked area of scientific investigation.

I was thinking of requesting analysis of the Worst Roommate Ever cases! He was self-centered, arrogant, cold … I don’t think I had ever heard that many bad traits being said right after each other…

I can only imagine how successful Jamison would have become if he dedicated the same amount of time and effort into building a career as an attorney as he did bumming off people for a living

OMG, the list goes on and on endlessly… I feel terrible for those people who came in contact with him - they simply couldn’t get rid of him. He was like a leech. Thanks for the lesson you pointed out at the end, Dr. Grande. I need to keep reminding myself... I trust everyone until she/he proves me otherwise - it should be the other way around, I know.

Ok so this happened to my mother in law recently what a fucking nightmare. She rented out a room to a man in his 60s and he was nuts. She was scared to leave her room. He brought 4 guns in her house even though she asked him not to. He left all his furniture and bed on her deck and refused to remove it ( apparently his stuff had bed bugs and keeping it outside in the cold would kill them🤦‍♀️) hes a conspiracy theories guy who spent day and night watching internet videos on my mother in laws computer... he refused to move out or help out with bills or house duties I thought he was going to kill her honestly and then just lile that he died sitting up in his chair watching his internet videos... sounds cruel but it was honestly the best case scenario

Dr Grande Thanks for your thoughts on this monster. It’s true you can’t judge a person so easily. Some People fake being nice and use their attractiveness to use and manipulate others.

I really hate to say it but it's absolutely amazing how gullible people can be. To let a total stranger move into your own home with zero checks on anything, basically someone right off the street. Unbelievable

What really got me about this story was that none of the roommates moved out when they realised this man was dangerous. The system was forcing them to prioritise other things over their own safety. I was also extremely appalled he stole Arleen's cats. Absolute P.O.S.

I worked my ass off for my M.D . As does anyone with a doctorate level degree it's takes allot of sacrifice , hard work, long nights, hours of committing to memory boring facts and histories now with all that and as stressed as I stayed I loved it . I love knowledge and learning. One the reason I love your channel. But one failed B.A.R attempt and give up , what a lazy fuck he obviously had no drive to be a lawyer or any perseverance. He sounds like most nor all rich kids I've meet who've had everything handed to them. Love the channel good doc , keep up the heat work.

He also catnapped Arleen’s cats and she never saw them again. Who knows where he truly got his dog…

Very similar experience but, not dead obviously. Didn't hear about this case. These guys aren't that rare. If you're a single woman looking for roommates these guys prey on you. I had one person try and light their rented room on fire. Refuse to leave. Police could care a less. They know it. Never ever again. Great job thanks. ✌️♥️🇨🇦🥓

Love you, Man. Enjoy your channel and your humor. I've always had an interest in true crime and human behavior. Learning what some people can be like, I have no problem to semi isolate myself. Always interesting. Thank you. Peace 💕🇺🇲

you should do an analysis of the batman like you did with the joker movie a few years ago

I doubt the stabbing earlier in his life would have had that much an impact later on in life either; it could have started a chain reaction of behavior that wouldn't have occurred if that event had never taken place, but that's obviously speculation. It's weird for me to say, but my situation right now mirrors this guy's past in a lot of ways, especially with the older sibling being successful while I am still finding my ways. Although I could never see myself actively taking advantage of someone like this guy did, I take things like my parents for granted and treat them coldly even when I probably shouldn't. Don't know why I felt like sharing, but this story just gave me an urge to comment on it. Two movie/book quotes I tend to live by are "Violence begets more violence" and "A Lannister always pays his debts." so I really can't see myself ever resorting to violence to settle a debt I owed.

Imagine killing your own brother that bailed you out

I think the courts are to blame, using the wrong name alone is a good reason to grant Alex on the spot eviction of this monster.

You know, Dr Grande has become a regular part of my daily routine. I find his storytelling combined with psychology just to be so tremendously interesting and soothing and relaxing.

Hi Dr. Grande! Greetings from circus clowns everywhere.

Squatters are the worst. Even the name sounds disgusting. But this guy, he's The Supreme Squatter...the King of Squatters, the Grand Poobah of Squatters. OK, I'll stop now. Thanks Dr Grande!

Roommate disasters!!! I'll vouch highly for this video- they also become stalkers and physically/mentally abusive in every way they can and will abuse you, they will - and the police won't do anything about it until the narcissist hurts you or kills you- thank you Dr. Grande maybe this video may help someone think twice about having roomates....especially of the opposite sex

I ONCE HAD A 'SQUATTER', ALLOWED BY THE HOME OWNER, CRASH IN MY LIVING ROOM. I FINALLY TOLD HER THAT EVERY MORNING FOR 2 WEEKS, AS I CRAPPED, I SCRUBBED MY TESTICLES WITH A LITTLE BRUSH... AND I WAS UPSET THAT SHE HADN'T NOTICED! SINCE WE WEREN'T INTIMATE- SHE ASKED WHY ON EARTH WOULD SHE NOTICE!? I SAID THE LITTLE BRUSH WAS HER TOOTHBRUSH... SHE WAS GONE WITHIN 30 MINUTES! I NEVER HAD SO MUCH JOY FROM A LIE BEFORE.

What stood out for me is after he killed his brother, he became a fleeing felon. Upon his apprehenion he slashed 2 officers with an ax and the police still had the where with all to take him down using a taser? A luxury not afforded black men who some say ' he just should have complied' and he'd still be alive. Yeah ok.

My sister was the golden child. Me, the black sheep. I get along with other's, responsible. Weird how people can end up.

There's no way I would have put up with Jameson for more than a very brief time. I would have twisted Jameson up like a pretzel.

Who on earth would stab someone (thereby committing murder) over a cheese sandwich-fueled argument? That reminds me of the video you did just two days ago, Dr. Grande. Shane Ragland didn't seem to have a significant motive for killing Trent Diguiro, either. Although compared to murder fueled by one's anger over someone eating a sandwich in the library, I now feel like Shane's motive seems slightly less frivolous (but only very slightly). Makes me wonder if there's a theme here, of college kids having considerably senseless motives in murder cases. Perhaps this is because the average college student is young and has, most likely, lived a rather sheltered life? Because of this, the small injustices done towards them by their peers might seem to be of momentous importance at the time, causing some small percentage of already impulsive people to behave in a vengeful way that will ultimately have a negative impact on the young lives of anyone involved.

A mental health clinician said, Jamison was excessively dependent on the world? What the hell does that blasé diagnosis mean?

I feel the terror of these people. A former flatmate verbally sexually harassed me. But not enough for me to do anything to call the police. But i got so scared. Your home should be the one place you feel safe. But instead, i got over the threshold, i got tense. Every night i was scared as the room i had had no functioning lock (i don't think he knew this as from the outside one thinks you can close it, but it scared me so badly). I don't wish this upon anyone; to not feel safe in your own home anymore, not able to do anything. I moved out with the help of my then bf and got a sub tenant. But it was so much stress. I still wonder what would have happened if i had kicked him out. Whether he would have flipped.

I'm sorry, but cats do ask for rent money

I wish there was a nonprofit agency that matches people up with room mates, that does through background checks and has people availible 24/7, that you can call for help if you have any problems with the person.
