Parents actions isn't responsible for your actions or your choice to be at the least a plain good human being

@@shanemyrick5432 Well idk because I grew up in the tail end of the crack era, and if you are surrounded by that kind ugliness it's hard especially when you don't have any type of support. I think of myself as a decent person, and even though i didn't have much I had good people around who cared, but some people don't have that.

@@chillasweet879 I don't remember where I heard this but the most important thing any kid can have is someone who they think is there for them and cares about them. If a kid doesn't have this it will lead to all sorts of issues in their life. I too had a difficult childhood which greatly affected me and my life has been a challenge because of it. I'm lucky to be where I'm at but the people in this thread are hard and don't want to understand how an abusive childhood affects people. You show me someone who has issues like drug abuse or violence and I'll show you someone who grew up in difficult circumstances. I'm glad you had some decent people in your life.

Not a word of remorse. It was all about him.

Yup. So I didn't feel sorry for him. In my opinion, he doesn't belong in human society

@@ralphtkane1106 At least he's gone.

He was hangry, my man. How is capital punishment anything other than state sanctioned homicide.

Because he doesn't care. Narcissistic monster.

Everyone doesn't respond to traumatic events the same way. I'm not excusing murder because there is no excuse for it but to expect everyone to react to different, terrible circumstances the same way is ignorant.

@@kingayy9267I think they mean that the MAJORITY of people don’t kill people because of a hard life. Sure, people deal with it differently, but obviously most people deal with it in better ways.

We don't necessarily have to feel sorry for him, This case does highlight how an idividual's upbringing can affect their future behaviors. In this instance, it stemmed from his mother, but, in the end, it was his choice.

Exactly! Once you become an adult you make a choice and you choose not to harm and deflect due to childhood trauma.

I do. What he did was horrible, and he should spend a long time in prison for it, but repeating his heinous act by sentencing him to death isn't the answer.

Yes..or when she says she hates you.

Yea. and when she punches you in the face and calls you a little fat girl.

Or when your mother applies to the authorities to have the custody of you revoked. That happened to my kids. When she - the mother - finally committed suicide, all agreed that it was the best for all. Both her mother and her children.

i think its more to make people more aware of how a horrible parent can affect their children

Nobody's telling you to feel sorry for the person he was, but rather for the person he could've been. Had he been raised in a loving and caring household, and had he not had to fight to survive to the next day, this man could've been your neighbor who invites you over for barbecues now and then. The people he killed would've also been alive and well, their families wouldn't have to go through the trauma of losing a loved one to murder, and his own family wouldn't have to go through the grief associated with his crimes and his eventual execution. Nobody is born a murderer, but any one of us could grow into one. Obviously it was a good thing that he was held accountable for what he did to his victims, but his background and fate is still all-around tragic, and also an important lesson to any would-be parents.

RIGHT?! As soon as they told me the crime all I could think is why the actual fk am I watching a documentary about this man and not the two innocent women killed by him. To kill somebody after they do what you tell them to do during a robbery makes you a MURDERER not a robber gone bad.

Mf did we ask you to?

@@Nationof300 Yes, VICE News very clearly tried to.

Seriously, this loser never showed remorse for murdering 2 innocent women. He only ever talks about how bad his life was.

Not sure which brother you're referencing but I dont think its that people feel bad for the bad guy (I sure dont), its that government is terribly incompetent and should not be trusted to do much of anything, certainly not decide over life and death. They've already demonstrated that they cant even properly kill people even though killing is probably what government is best at.

It still doesn’t make forcing multiple innocent individuals to murder another human being remotely okay. You ever seen an interview with a former executioner? I would suggest you go watch one. There is no sympathy for this man, but thou shall not kill has ZERO exceptions.

You must be fun at parties ​@@Alexya-td4je

I honestly wish they just did it more humanly. People often say it can’t be done but I really disagree. It’s definitely possible the problem is making both humane for the family and for the person being killed. Lethal injection is obviously the easiest to watch but really bad for the one being killed. Actually I think gun to the head is the best option because it’s by far the less painful, probably no pain at all actually since the place where the brain process pain is gone almost instantly depending on the gun, but it’s probably very scary since it’s sudden for the person rather than a “sleepy” death. I think properly administration of anesthetic followed by gun to head works. As for witnesses it’s the worse because gun to head is fucking traumatizing.

​@@ager126 how is a gun shot to the head less painful and more humane?? do you understand some people survive gun shots to the head? did you know sometimes you dont die instantly but a few mins later. how is that ok? youd have to sit there with a painful gunshot wound for a few minutes. the lethal injection is a way better option to humanely put someone down because they first put the person under with an anesthetic like when you have surgery, so at that point you are asleep. then they use another drug to stop the heart. you wont be aware of this because you are, again, sleeping. basically youll go to sleep and just never wake back up. simple. why do you think people say when they get old, the wanna die in their sleep? its because its painless and you arent aware of it happening. gunshots are painful and messy. ive done some crime scene clean up and the crimes that happen by gun is so messy and horrific. theres alot of blood, brain matter and hair/scalp after a shot to the head. thats just not ideal. sorry i had to get graphic but i think its important to explain that.

@@nappssnapps2891 ooh this is only 14 hours old I can debate this!!! The lethal injection has the highest % of botched executions firing squad has the lowest. Using chemicals to kill someone humanley is very ineffective as different people need different amounts and the staff are not qualified in any way, they aren’t doctors or nurses. Too little of the first drug designed to ‘put you to sleep’ make it ineffective too much keeps you awake but paralyzes you meaning you die in Agony.

​@@ager126 mam are you stupid. Legal injection makes sure the victim doesn't feel pain. Maybe you should do some research before you speak on things you obviously don't know about

@ager # Napps Snapps This is a hard one, 2 different opinions, it all depends, if you are lucky with just one gunshot to the head, you are gone instantly, but like you said, I have seen peope with múltiple gunshots to the head and living for hours, this guy was shot in the eye, right next to it, he did not loose the eye, the bullet was in his brain, and he was talking a little nonsense , and a headache, he was like that for over 2 days, the doctors saved his life, he developed seizures after that, lost that eye, and bc the bullet was in his brain for to long he developed a nasty brain infection. 2 years later he commited suicide. ( sorry I got out the topic ) but yeah people can survive gunshots to the head or die many hours later, its better to use a shotgun to make sure its fast and as painless as possible.

I'm sorry you went through that. Starvation is a powerful feeling

A brother's grief doesn't take away from what he did. Unless you allow it.

And he killed them in the most barbarac way he could with no thought of how they felt.

His brother didn't do anything and he doesn't owe you or anyone else meticulously prepared words. In my opinion you shouldn't demand things from those who've done nothing wrong. Leave the guy alone.

No one wins here, in situations like this there are only victims, including the communities and society as a whole.

There are never any winners. Death penalty brings no one back

i think it's horrific in a different way, knowing far ahead of time exactly when you'll die can't be easy psychologically. let alone their close family having to deal with that as well

Retribution in the form of the death penalty, due to the delays and complexity of the process, does not appear to be a deterrent that prevents extreme violence. The offender has hurt not only the victim, but the victims family as well as their own. Selfish acts of extreme violence harm so many including society in general having to house individuals that are unable to be productive members of society. Poor parenting and lack of proper education has amplified the problem in our society.

They're documenting what they saw.

@@SobboMonkeVR didn't see an inmate going to a death chamber Maybe they're bad at documenting

Both boys and girls can grow up to be evil in different ways, but this kind of homocide is largely a man’s issue. Only men kill random people they don’t know. There are millions of girls who have abusive parents and they grow up to never commit homicide. And plenty of boys with abusive parents grow up to do well in life. And plenty of murderers had perfectly adequate mommies. So I don’t really believe this line that his mother created a monster. Why aren’t any of his other siblings on death row? They all had the same mommy. And like I said before, plenty of murderers had good childhoods. I truly don’t think it matters to the extent you think it does.

The absolute worst part is they begged for their lives n he still killed the 2 women , sooo sad 😑

Obviously none of the other siblings killed and they were raised in the same house. OKST got it right

@@chrisgraham8711 how is that obvious

Indeed, tragedy all around.

What about the families of the two people he senselessly killed?

@@ashtonhatfield3104 they lost their family members so it's not a win

Texas once turned the process around in 252 days. In the UK there was a rule (not really a law) that you had to wait three Sundays before an execution could take place. The shortest time between conviction and the gallows was five weeks. Average was usually around 5-6 months.

There have been people proven innocent 20 years after their convictions because of newer technology. What you're saying doesn't make sense.

But if it was quick then the prison wouldn’t make all that money

How many innocent people would be killed then...

This is a very mature view to have on this There's so many people here hiding behind justice and karma, when it just sounds like plain old vindictiveness It's even crazier to see Christians applauding his death, considering that I'm sure that nobody conducting the execution is "free of sin" to be casting the stone. By killing the criminal, they damn themselves.

true but look at it this way. His brother looks to be having a good life and a stable mind, why didn't he help his brother? I don't think he probably cared at all and nor did his other siblings. Terrorists also have traumatic pasts but you can't justify their actions because of their past. The inmate took the wrong path and he paid for his sins. This happened in 2001 which means he would be around 25 years old when he killed the 2 women at the hotel. He at least went to high school and had a chance to change his life or get help to overcome his childhood trauma. So it's not like he has been trapped in a room all his life and was brainwashed. He chose his path and took two women's life who were probably no threat to him during his robbery. He deserved this!! Please don't try to justify his actions because he was beaten in his childhood and treated like no one loved him. There are billions of kids that have similar childhood or probably worse but have a brain of their own to decide what's right or wrong. I was watching Vice News videos on North Korea right before this and that's why your comment seems even more stupid to me. North Korean citizens are the most controlled humans on the planet and there are still people who understand what's right and what's not and escaped from that nightmare.

people built different i remember when my dad leave us all, my sister didn't have any tears on, she didn't even shaken when heard the news. she's the only kids that loving by my father because she's his only daughter and she's youngest of all. she standing in the front when my father lowered but she's hardly looked sad different stories i know my neighbour and also my childhood friend, she had bad relationship with her parents, espicially her dad. his drunk behaviour often lead him to beat his only daughter, and she's grown into rebel behaviour. when her dad dead, she really flew 3 hour just to attend the funeral. she's crying so hard because he's already lowered and she didn't have proper goodbye. now she often stares blankly and often mumbling to herself

However he took two lives which denied their families of the right to be with their loves one's for the rest of their lives. I agree his Mom had much to so with his outcome, but in the end he made choices that got him on death row and executed. His family suffers as well and the victim's families. There is never an excuse to kill someone and I do think this guy would change it if he could, I feel justice was done overall for the victims themselves.

@@GM8101PHX of course he deserved to be punished for taking away 2 innocent lives. That's no something anybody is debating. It's the root of the cause. Just cause someone's a criminal it doesn't mean u can't talk about his back story as well. Discussions are important inorder to lower crime.

He was so eloquent and composed during what was clearly torture for him. Glad he agreed to do this ....

WOW , you 2 people totally missed what Life is about , I wouldn't give a $H1T about any family member of mine that MURDERED two women , He shot the first one and then stabbed her with a box cutter knife , The second woman he shot 3 times in the Face , She had to have a CLOSED casket funeral because of all the damage to her Face , How do you think her family members were feeling that day ? They couldn't even see their loved one being laid to rest because of this Violent piece of human Trash

But he did make an excuse for him. He said that he was “seeking his mother’s love” when he killed those women to get his girlfriend out of jail.

He made multiple excuses for his brothers actions

He committed a crime in which he showed no love, for love? I guess whatever man. You kill two innocent people you deserve it.

My cousin was strangled by her date when she was a teenager after she refused his sexual advances. Her killer got out after seven years due to a technicality. We all wanted him to get the chair (Kentucky), but he was released on a technicality after seven years. He soon killed himself during an autoerotic sex act. It was a fitting end for that pervert. Poetic even. The world's better off with him reduced to a husk. Sorry for your sister.

You shouldn’t need any excuse not to be killed yourself. Sure he’s a monster and would probably hurt more people if he was out, but that doesn’t mean he can’t sleep and eat and get some exercise and read a book and play ping pong. He’s out of society, so the problem is already solved.

@@paulaccuardi9071 So we should pay for a monster to have a quality life? I wonder how you would feel if that was your parent, sibling, or child who was killed, would you still feel that way towards the murderer?

@@UNDERCOVER_E I think I would. I’ve been made to consider that kind of scenario before. Though I guess that kind of thing would put your mind in a totally different place if it were to happen to you, so maybe I wouldn’t. If it never happens, I would always tell you I would, and I’d genuinely think so.

Everyone reacts differently to trauma. Nobody who has grown up well, unless they have antisocial disorder, chooses to act violently or murder others. We as humans can pity this man while pitying his victims more.

Thats what Vice does. Soros bought and paid for as well.

Even rarer to think about is the perspective of the victim's family, you know the truly innocent... i really wish we could've heard from them, i bet their side of it might not have sounded so sympathetic. Laws are what keeps the soft and easily led alive, and keeps the manipulators and murders at bay...

@@lmvirella1904 I see what you're saying, but most families who lose a loved one to a violent crime don't feel good when their murderer is put to death. It doesn't bring their loved ones back, and most of the time doesn't bring any form of closure to the whole situation. Life in prison is definitely terrible, but a lot of people feel like the death penalty is getting the easy way out of that punishment when their family member is the one killed. Nobody wins with the death penalty, and Donald's case was the best case scenario for the family of a victim because they knew for an absolute fact that Donald was the one who killed them, and why he did it. I really do think getting their perspective would've brought a lot more to the piece but at the same time I would totally understand if the families didn't want to be involved, because they get nothing but more pain out of it.

When someone chooses to commit a heinous crime, they so much pain to many more people than just their victims. Of course the most important people are the victims who've been directly hurt or killed & their family & friends but their pain & loss doesn't take away the validity of the pain of the perpetrators family & friends.

​@@lmvirella1904 All loved ones of both the victims & perpetrator suffer greatly. The pain & suffering the perpetrators loved ones go through doesn't take away the pain & suffering from the victims or their loved ones & it doesn't minimise the awful crimes. When someone chooses to commit a heinous crime, they cause a lot of pain to many people, not just the victims & their family, although they are the most important people of the crime. We see a lot of the victims family & friends perspective in video programs & not near as often the perpetrators family & friends, this program highlighted their view this time. The perpetrators family & friends pain & loss is just as valid as the victims family. Their pain is different from different perspective, different experience etc but pain is pain & shouldn't be comparable or made invalid when they are also innocent of the crimes. Normally the perpetrators family & friends are forgotten about, loathed, bullied, harassed, judged etc for awful choices & actions they had nothing to do with, so not only do they deal with the pain of what their loved one did but also the loss of that loved one (varying degrees depending on the situation, country, laws) but also the opinions & actions of people hating them just because they are related or associated to the perpetrator. They also can't just turn off their love of someone they love dearly & their love doesn't minimise the crimes of the perpetrator, many people see loved ones love, pain & suffering as minimising what they did & that just isn't true. I have seen this as a community services worker & working with police. Please don't under estimate the pain & suffering of what the perpetrators family goes through because they are just as innocent as the victims loved ones. The pain & suffering of all the innocent people around the crime is valid.

so since you went though that you offed 2 people after you were already done robbing them? I'm sure you didn't because humans can easily have even worse trauma and never execute anyone let alone 2. He actively made the choice to kill them after the purpose of the crime ie robbing them. Because of that he deserved to die. deserved and will are different things and he got the will. I think the victims family should have sway over being able to reduce their sentence and i guess forgive them if that's what they need. and in todays courts they do mostly. But at the same time families that need that eye for a eye type deal shouldn't be made to feel like they caused the murderers death. Vice fucked up making this and basically gave a middle finger to the surviving family.

What's really sad is you sit here and defend and make excuses for criminals . . . Lots of people have hard lives and never resort to murder and crime . . .

Because people like you just want to defend and justify their criminal behavior . . . Maybe you should go to the state prison and even go to death row and get these criminals to come to your house and babysit for you sometime or maybe get them a job at the school where your kids go . . . Since you seem to think these criminals are just poor little victims and just deserve a chance at a regular life . . . If you don't believe in punishment then don't cry about the crime .. . And that goes for crimes they might commit against you or your family . . . Instead of seeing these people for the criminals they are . . You just want to see them as poor little victims . . . And then wonder why crime is getting so bad and much worser nowadays .

I might be wrong but uh, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of days not included in this clip where it's quite possible he felt regret for his actions. That said I wasn't there and wouldn't know.

So make his family and him suffer more is the answer?

this wasnt about his crime. this was about donald and following him to his death

That's unfortunately something common with people who were never shown love. Everyone was a victim in some form.

Thanks for your thoughtful response.

I agree with you.

@@artchem1 Thanks for your thoughtful response.

This is where restorative justice *should* come in.

Only God has the right to Judge.

I’m so deeply sorry you went through that.❤

All the families are victims here,...Everyone,...all around.

@@Valleygirl66 the guy that got executed was not a victim

@@chrislotts4551 He was a victim of his mother. Don't be so closed minded

@@PukkaKeef only a small percentage of abuse victims go on to be evil people... You don't get a hard life as an excuse.

@@PukkaKeef Ok, and? Just because he had a hard life doesn't mean he can do what he did. I know so many people who've had horribly hard lives and they never even thought about killing somebody. When you do something like that you're not a victim anymore, you're a monster

Not so much dumb as desperate, I'm thinking.

I know why do such a thing

Goes to show the death penalty doesn't work. Its not a deterrent.. We shouldn't repay evil with evil.

Yes the laws that the white man made ? Yeah we know ma’am

Some people can’t help it. Have you seen the brain dead sheep out there? Murderers are doing us all a favor and thinning the herd

This

Why did he murder someone? WTF

Dont get fooled by this. Listen to him, what he tells us. How hard his life was. What struggles he went through, what motivated him to do the robbery. That he is afraid of execution. That he knows pain and how hard life is. He says he would change his actions if he could. Think about: Why? He didnt talk a second about his victims. Not even in the last minute. Only about himself. He would only change his actions because they have hurt himself, not because of his victims. This is an evil man who does not truly regret what he did.

@@sonyxperiasmk I agree that nothing excuses murder. I don't agree that we can know if he is truly sorry. Sadly there is just no way to know for sure. Also, there is no way to know if his life led him to be able to commit murder or if that is just the way he was born. Still, I don't think that I could ever recommend the death penalty. Killing is killing, no matter what.

@@sonyxperiasmk Life CAN be hard but you dont fucking shoot someone in the face because of it

Yea but there is such thing as reasonability: when very bad things happen to you it may lead to you doing very bad things. This will not act as an excuse but as a kind of explanation which should lessen the consequences. In other words: if someone harasses you, insults you and provoques you for halt an hour, and after many attempts to stop him peaceauffly, you decide to slap him, it should be taken into consideration what happend to you before that action. It obviously is quite a different example but still similar in the term of reasoning. You think you wouldve lived a normal "peaceful" life if you were him? And if yes? Do you think all the other 17 people liking this comment would have? I doubt it...

@@vincentquehenberger6556 I believe you simply didn't understand my comment. Those innocent souls had nothing to do with his crazy upbringing. His parents should be held accountable. Would you react same way if any of these victims were someone close to you?

@@vinayrajkhunti5988 if you say his parents should be held accountable, i agree But in your first comment you clearly implied that he should also be held accountable with which i also agree but only to a far less far point, because of said upbringing.

@@vinayrajkhunti5988 i would obviously not react that way, but i think you agree that one emotionally attached person might be the worst one to judge.

So very true!

" CHATTERBOX ABOUT HIMSELF " well said!

As long as people like you wouldn't even try to understand or do something about why people turn into or become killers, violents, the circle will never end. Death penalty is barbaric, is something from thousands of years ago, an eye for an eye, their is no justice nor logic into kill a killer. And worst of all, death penalty, punishment, never dissuaded anybody, countries with death penalty and horrible conditions of incarceration have the highest inmate population, ask yourself why... this man killed people, but the real responsible are the people who made him a killer, like his mother.

@@chanmax2 Don't agree.

There is no denial of the crime. His family knows that he is guilty. Where is the rage within the black community when their “brothers” are selling destructive drugs within their neighborhood to other blacks? Why is that tolerated amongst blacks rather than reported to the police? Because the black community protects them out of some perverse notion.

@@Stetsonhatman The worst thing that is perpetuated in black communities is ghetto/black culture. Even Malcolm X was disappointed that blacks, among all other cultures, can''t rise above themselves.

The brother complaining about the cookies… get a grip. It’s a typical self-absorbed pity-party. It seems the whole family is delusional.

Those are numbers to Vice, Vice's goal is to support anarchy.

What both sides? This is in its most basic purpose is just to document what an execution is like, and what the family of a convicted would feel and experience. Though out the video all the gruesome crime committed by grant was mentioned so there's no need for sympathy manipulating.

@@juch3 I suppose you're right. The victims & their families don't deserve any sympathy. Their lives don't really matter nor the horrible way in which they were murdered. The cold blooded murderer deserves compassion & the victims, hey, who cares, right? They didn't deserve to live a full life (like you or I) did they?

@@jaydibernardo4320 who are you replying to exactly? Because I never wrote whatever that is in your reply, I'm saying this is a documentary about the process of capital punishment in the US, not a documentary about Donald grant and his criminal activities and how it affected his victims.

@@juch3 I replied to your post & in particular when you wrote there was no need for sympathy manipulation (for the victims) since this video is about capital punishment in the US. To me that came across as rather cold blooded with little regard for the victims & familes & I would argue that this video was, in its own way a form of manipulation.

Does anybody?

Fr and he totally tries to downplay the value of the lives for the two innocent victims that this animal killed. He just simply refers to them as hotel clerks but never elaborates on the pain his brother inflicted on the victims families. Also, the pure terror and suffering those victims must’ve experienced.

@@chrisjenkins203 That's no downplaying anything. These people happened to be hotel clerks. He would have called them lawyers had they been in this profession. This isn't downplaying other aspects of their lives at all.

Yeah Ikr, dude had a tough life but what he did to those people was totally unnecessary and cruel

Whilst the process of execution is morbid and the prisoner’s life circumstances are harsh. Many have been in his situation and not done what he did. Execution is correct in this situation.

@@BurgundySorcerer I completely agree. Even if you're not a proponent of the death penalty, in certain situations such as these it is the correct punishment.

Yeah. Vice telling such a one sided story. Tell the story of how that women begged for their lives. Tell thr story of how they where absolutely depraved of their innocence. F this man. Sorry

Hard disagree. I can't think of a worse punishment than "you are locked up forever and will never be released." It costs more money to execute someone than to lock them up for life. If someone did that to my loved ones I would want them to die. But hopefully in a modern society we can reach a point where no human does by the state, which is actually on all of our hands. You cannot begin to imagine all the death row inmates exonerated by DNA evidence. How many did we put to death unjustly? I am not religious, but _Thou shall NOT kill_ is a commandment. There is no asterisk next to that line. But hey, it's not like the commandments were written on stone or anything.

Yea that’s true I chose not to do some of the things I am capable of because I have a little sister

wtf comment.

@lifeson90 it's really hard to not care about your siblings or parents even when they have done truly bad things

@@paddymcdoogle4025 what's wtf about it?

@@sonicdiablo8968 lol

He didn’t just shoot and run he pulled the trigger multiple times and stabbed and women no less they were no physical threat to him

But if you remember he did have a very rough upbringing he probably wasn’t mentally stable because of his mom so in part I feel as if his mom had an impact on his life decisions… Therefore people who have never been in that kind of situation would never know how it felt. I think he really just wanted someone to love him the way a mother should have loved her kid and he went too far due to past trauma trying to chase that love he never received. Truly just a sad world we live in😞

I feel like no human should have the power to take another humans life . Period .

@@luhmary5636 but we do and when two muslims behead A guy on the streets of london in front of multiple witnesses and cameras should they just get life in prison it cost £80,000 to keep a prisoner for a year still talking millions of pounds to keep them locked up shouldn’t they just be executed the next day and that money to go towards so many programs to help people

@@luhmary5636 I agree, so we should remove people from society who think they have the right to take a person's life.

Criminals should be gotten rid of

@@PatriotsHateTheLeft46 you sound like a child, grow up!

@@opiesmith9270 If you're brother or sister were murdered you wouldn't care about how their siblings felt I promise you that.

@@halamadrid71814 good thing its not the governments job to care about how we feel and do whats right

@@PatriotsHateTheLeft46 Wait until it's your family member. Prison has its place, but it's attitudes like yours sucks down an immense amount of my tax dollars.

Oz. Yes sympathies to the victims and their families of this heinous crime I am a born again Christian but I am not against the death penalty because I am a scripture driven Bible believing woman since I was 16 years old and when the Bible says an eye for an eye that's exactly what it means and that's why we need to follow the scripture! That's the way I believe I know other people don't feel that way but I am sorry for this convicts family I don't care for his I don't want to eat your cookies I and drink your water! The victims in this crime will never eat cookies or ever drink water again and you are I'm sorry smug enough to make this about yourself God help you

You really could have kept that to yourself. This video is clearly about the inmate and his brother's feelings throughout the process. His brother didn't commit a crime. My sympathy goes out to Donald and his family being victims themselves.

Agree totally…it’s amazing that criminals are so worried about the possibility of ‘pain and suffering’ during their own deaths but are unable to equate any of it to what they did to their victims. Sympathy to the victims of the crime and sympathy to the murderer’s family, who were also victims of his heinous crimes too.

@@mandyellis876 What they did to someone else has nothing to do with them. They don't want to feel pain and that's understandable.

@@Nah.ImCool the fact that you think he is a victim is despicable and you are the reason crime is tolerated and real victimhood will increase

Amen.

Totally

Same here.

Yep

That.

The cruelty is completely unnecessary

I can't even imagine how long it would feel as those days dragged by. It's almost like they take the things away to force them to dwell on what it going to happen and replay what got them there 1000 times over and over in their head...damn, it's a sad situation all the way around.

@@ka3097 I agree with you I think you’re right I think the food is probably towards the family of the victims makes sense but you’re right where do you draw the line. I don’t know if it’s something to try to make people comfortable but you shouldn’t feel comfortable you’re watching somebody’s life be taken away even if proven guilty.

*than, not then

@@ka3097 You'd probably feel differently if it was your mom he shot in the face 3 times or shot then stabbed in the neck like he did to his 2 victims.

He made excuses.

I would gladly watch my family membet die for commiting a murder. Family means nothing at that point

I know right that is so cruel I feel so sorry for him too bro☹☹☹

He should acknowledge his brother deserved it and quit feeling sorry for himself no one forced him to watch

I agree with you 100%. These comments before me - if it were their loved one in his shoes I bet they’d change their tune. Unless you’ve lived it, you can’t relate. It’s the internet so people feel good spewing at others. Until it happens to you. Sad

Exactly. The victim was much much worse off.

I'm happy this monkey isn't living off our tax dollars.

🤣

@@staytight6340 😐

Literally. Very brutal, got the money and still shot the girl 3 times in the face?? like he deserves to be put down.

@@Zombiesteve03 deserved the botched table tbh

@@johnbarry8283 even if he chooses murder is it even necessary to stab someone’s throat multiple times or shoot someone’s face multiple times ? The women experienced very very painful death . And I understand he needs the money , he couldnt get it but in this case he can rob them . Put them to sleep yet he chooses to kill them

well.. yeah. but in the end we have to agree that the US judical system and pro-profit prisons are messed up af. most interned people per capita... and over a third of the people leaving prison return to it in less than 5 years... for such a country to also have the death penalty is just... scary. i know death seems fair but giving the state the right to kill is.... wwelll... ,ets just say there are good reasons why so many nations stopped it..

@@johnbarry8283 I am only against death penalty because sometimes wrongful conviction happens . Innocent people or people who are mentally ill and commited minor crimes gets executed because justice system got the wrong person . But not his case , he actually did it

Exactly!
