Thanks for sticking around guys, it’s truly appreciated. And sorry for the long gaps between episodes. 2023 will be a more active year for this channel, I promise. Love goes out to you all x
when he faked shooting himself with his hand made me laugh. he had a real gun an hour earlier which they obviously know so it’s obvious he never wanted to die.
The guy was literally caught at Macdonald's lol, what did he try and kill himself by choking on a bigmac? Did the voices tell him to "burn, kill, destroy" some french fries?? Worthless boy.
Ah, yes, very relatable, if you would like to hear my story here it is.. pretty personal but might as well share since it's cringe as hell. TW: I was 11 already going through an "insane" phase like this, I remember filling up a whole drawing book colored and filled with shit like suicide, murder, mental illness which was Bi-polar disorder and intoxication of this one character I made up and his ex gf he couldn't get over, this was all because of a dumb online relationship I had for only 2 weeks and already was suffering. I WAS ONLY 11. I got caught at school for some things i've done to myself which i'd rather not mention, then put in the hospital and got a therapist. It was terrible. I look back at it and cringe like crazy, luckily I already ripped up the book in shreds one by one and got over that phase but it was the worst. I'm ok now, mentally improved, just graduated high school last week and still waiting on my college responses. I've had other phases, but the one at 11 years old was the worst and would never like to look back at it again.
These are people whose idea of what mental illness looks like comes from fiction (e.g. One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, The Twelve Monkeys, etc). In reality, the most severe mental illness doesn’t look like anything at all, as the middle guy in this video.
"What were you depressed about back then?" "Loneliness." "What kind of loneliness?" "Solitude." We got Captain Thesaurus in the interrogation room today, lads.
@@Fridoking1 A thesaurus is a book (or often a database nowadays) used for finding synonyms of words. "Loneliness" and "solitude" have basically the same meaning in English, so they are considered synonyms. I used "Captain Thesaurus" to refer to a guy who uses a lot of synonyms, just like how "Captain Obvious" is a sarcastic term for a guy who says obvious things. It was a joke about how the suspect said a synonym instead of an explanation like the detective wanted.
@@Fridoking1 It's like if he said "What were you depressed about back then?" "Oh, just feeling unhappy." "What kind of unhappiness?" "Just sadness." "What kind of sadness." "You know, when you feel melancholy sometimes." "What kind of melancholy?" "Oh, like, when you feel sorrowful." He's just saying words with the same meaning, and not expanding on the point about why he was lonely.
I would probably act like the guy that admitted everything. Except I wouldn’t be insane, I would just know “well I’m fucked so might as well just accept it”
@@jigokunohi6538 I mean don't kill people but also don't talk to the police without an attorney. If you want to confess it'll always be better for you if you do it for a plea deal.
*Something hilarious: the "evil" song Panzermensch Nick mentioned is about keeping on dancing till your legs fall off like a Panzer tank advancing in a war. I can just imagine Nick listening to this thinking it’s hardcore and aggressive just because it’s German but in reality it’s a song about dancing super hard lmfao.*
Panzermensch could be as surface level as the fact that it was a German tank in WWII when you consider his other lousy half baked racist remarks. he comes off like more of a hateful internet edge lord than a committed racist if you know what I mean. That's what I usually assume with the neonazi type mass shooters, they were usually going to kill people anyways just using racism as the excuse because it's edgy and makes them seem scary so it gives them a sense of superiority and power. Plus I mean it definitely sounds like stereotypical school shooter angry scary music, which is probably partly the logic in why he picked it knowing people would make that assumption too. A lot of these guys put the same amount of lazy half baked effort into their whole image and "brand" as Cruz did in the video towards pretending to be insane. Hell the buffalo shooter literally copy pasted most of his manifesto from the Christchurch shooter.. it's very transparent and pathetic once you start to notice it, it's also very common sadly and makes people assume there's some kind of larger motive and trend and not just a bunch of random dumbass nobodies with access to high powered firearms and a social media page to archive their delusional narcissism.
The most memorable part of this video to me is the 4:40 interview, the way that guy answered every question matter of factly but had no justification as to why he killed a man, that was really something else.
True psychopath mixed with mental illness are the scares. Psychopath already see human beings as things much like a chair or a cup. They don’t have any regards for life and if you mix in a psychotic break from mental illness you get exactly what we saw with the second young man. He has no fear or remorse for the young man he killed or the fact he destroyed his own life. Life doesn’t hold the same meaning to psychopath’s or psychopath’s during a psychotic break from reality, nobody’s live is important to him.
Honestly I felt disgusted by the level of cringe this kid showed. I almost felt bad for him for a bit but then his actions were so cringe I don’t care anymore if they send him to jail for decades.
@@fart63 technically psychopathy is not a real medical diagnosis but i was just saying that in response to the sociopath comment as a sociopath would be a manipulator but i don’t think he was manipulative i think he was just a few chocolate chips short of a cookie
The second guy is absolutely insane. The twisted fact of unloading the gun to calm them then taking another out is twisted to hell. He’s emotionless and is for being sentenced to death. He certainly was right to be found insane.
He was very obviously on the spectrum. He talked like a high functioning autist. Blunt, straight to the point, no BS. The 1920s fashion is commonly also an autism special interest. That being said, I don't believe this would qualify as criminally insane on its own. People with autism are less criminal than their peers statistically. But there's probably some psychopathy (lack of remorse, indifference to punishment) and some other mental health issues going on.
Having this interrogation is so cathartic. He wanted to be known. He wanted to be infamous and he is, sure. He destroyed countless lives. But I hope he knows how bad he's getting memed on. I hope he knows how we are all laughing at him and what a pathetic loser he is and always will be.
If Nick blindly trusted the interrogator's leading questions, he would've answered right on almost every insanity defense. 10/10 reverse psychology from the detective.
It would be funny if the cops made a game on it. "Every time he acts like a ham, take a sip". But sipping your drink can have some affect on the person being interrogated. It is social engineering that allows you to link each sip into a certain idea in the targets head. For example with this, this could be the cop telling the kid "I know you are faking, just stop" without using words. Action does speak louder than words and is more affective in dealing with these kinds of people.
I’ve met this detective back in 2014 when some dude broke into my friends house after running from the cops and he took down our statements. He is very laid back and nice. Surreal to see him in this situation Edit: worth mentioning there was a police helicopter looking for him because he ditched his stolen vehicle and we woke up to him standing in the living room. He told us he got robbed and wanted us to smuggle him out in one of our trunks but cops swarmed the house while he was talking and he gave up. I remember him saying “It’s over” and then I ran into a room and came out with my hands up and had to explain the story. Shit was wild. There was a small news story about it but it in the paper but I’m not gonna share it for privacy reasons. Just figured I’d provide more context.
It's so infuriating that these kinds of people think mental illnesses are essentially just 'being zoned out and quiet' or 'destroying your surroundings in the most calm and controlled manner possible'.
@@someneet145 and thats why we will continue to have these things happen, instead of responsible gun owners having guns to protect their families, we have cowards who take kids lives without remorse because of how stupidly easy it is to acquire rifles in states like florida or texas
@@someneet145”as it should be”??? do you see what goes on in the us? just this year there were over SIX HUNDRED mass shootings. numbers have only gotten worse in recent years. if its easy enough to the point where sick and evil people like the guy in the video can obtain high powered weapons, it is far, far too easy. the regulations we currently have are just not working in a way that protects public schools enough. esp in states w/ looser gun laws. there is no way for things to get better without some form of change. if you arent already one, put yourself in the shoes of parents in states like florida that have to worry about their kids getting shot up at school. even better, put yourself in the shoes of the innocent kids that were killed by the man in this video. put yourself in their shoes, as this guy was pointing his rifle at them and shooting them, as they realized that they were either going to die or be seriously wounded. if you were in their position in that moment, i doubt youd still feel that obtaining high power weapons should remain as easy as it is. there are definitely benefits to easily obtainable high powered weapons but its just so obvious that the negatives are far more impactful (when you think on a large scale instead of just focusing on the individuals that responsibly keep/use their guns). just a few evil people jeopardize the situation for all of us. but failing to efficiently address those people will perpetuate our country as the country of school shooters for the rest of our history.
If he actually gave the demon blood the demon wouldn't have set him up. Or did you think the demonic realm preys upon the ugly and fat? Those enslaved will laugh at the innocent until judgement day.
As a person who genuinely does have hallucinations, it’s honestly kinda funny (and frustrating) seeing what people without psychotic features THINK it’s like. A small part of me is content in knowing that these misconceptions and demonizations are biting criminals faking it in the butt though.
Same here it’s so funny to me, I have cptsd which presents with psychotic symptoms (delusions and hallucinations). Guess that makes it easier to pick out the liars
@ghostlytavern129 what goes through your head when you see these delusions and hallucinations? Once in a while I get so caught up in my uneasiness I start to get delusions I'm in my head and can't get out.
It's so chilling to see tha actually insane guy's responses. The way he talks about murder is like the way a bored child answers questions when their teacher calls on them in class...
People who are disconnected from reality are completely unaware that what they believe isn’t real and/or that something is wrong with their thought process. The murderers who insist that they’re sane and argue against that defense are the ones who aren’t faking it.
The detective on this case is kind of brilliant. The way he was able to walk that line between being outright confrontational and sympathetic is just pretty amazing.
This reminded me of one of George Carlin's monologues, and how people who claim they hear voices in the head ALWAYS tell them to unlive their entire family or something similar, "Doesn't a voice ever tell a guy 'go take a shit in the salad bar at Wendy's???'"
I kinda feel sad for the guy who was legitimately insane. I would love more detail on him. Like his home life and parents. What made him snap? Was he being treated for his mental illness? So many questions
The guy is an actual psychopath, I've seen that interrogation and as someone who sees these videos for insight on human behaviour, the 12 seconds that he goes silent are the most interesting seconds because in those 12 seconds he makes his story fall in place and goes through with it
Imagine rubbing a bandaid on your arm in an attempt to hurt yourself. People stab themselves in the chest with knifes or bang their head on the floor until they pass out, and this guy thinks a little scratching will convince anyone 😂 I wish him torture.
Or when he said he didn’t have anything sharp enough to hurt himself, just made me chuckle a little bit. For someone who had 5 hunting knives, he didn’t have anything sharp enough??
It's something that definitely presents for some people. I have this whole "mind palace" I go into and I can visualize the gun, pick it up, I imagine the weight and the feeling in the hand, and then pantomime shooting myself and going limp. One time I was so fucked in the head I "went limp" for 90 minutes. Years ago it was just thumb up finger out and an imaginary bang sound. So it's not that unlikely this guy saw someone else do that and repeated it. Maybe he even was suicidal and he knows what the optics look like to perform that motion.
Many people were disappointed when he didn’t get the death penalty. And honestly, he should have gotten it for what he did. But I think the rest of his life in prison is going to be hell. I’m pretty sure that a mass murderer who shot 17 people will have a hard life in prison. Inmates usually don’t like child murderers. He’ll have to watch every step he takes.
Prisons generally are extremely careful not to let high profile inmates get murdered. Living out the next 60-70 years in solitary doesn't sound too pleasant though.
@@ygthemoth9425remember when the Charleston church shooter got attacked by an inmate when the guards slipped up. Like all an inmate needs is to get lucky once and in 60 or 70 years this dude is probably going to have a lot of close calls.
@@ygthemoth9425 I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer was killed in prison. So was Whitey Bulger and Donald Harvey. And less than 2 months ago, Derek Chauvin was stabbed 22 times.
I got second hand embarrassment when they started faking the hallucinations. I have auditory and visual. It ruins my life and makes it very difficult to do what I love. I can’t stand to see people faking them, they don’t know what it’s like and it’s not at all fun or something you should fake. Some people think its “cool” and fake it for attention. If you do this I advise you to reach out and tell someone. Your free to ask me any questions!
I’m in the same boat. Mine have been better lately. But sometimes I have to pretend like nothing is happening, or give random reasons for my reactions. Because I don’t want people around me to know about the hallucinations.
I love the detective saying youre not hearing voices youve been cleared and youre normal but Nikolas keeps going. The detective is amazing for putting up with his bs
Hats off to the detective, I love this man hahaha. He deserves to be awarded for how well he handled this interrogation alone. Also its really funny how he says the voice starts at a specific time everyday. Mfs 'psychosis' has a daily schedule LMAO Edit: Shockingly, a month or two after I wrote this comment, I had a huge psychotic manic episode and got diagnosed with bipolar 1 w/ psychotic features. I can now further confirm from first hand experience that this is the worst attempted portrayal of psychosis that currently exists. He just looks more like an idiot than he does psychotic. That's just not how it works hahaha
bruh nobody in the history of anything ever has ever displayed sewicydal thoughs by doing a finger gon at their own head that is text book attention seeking
these psych hospitals/facilities are no joke. The one I worked at, as soon as these patients/inmates enter they’re sentence is one to life. They can keep them there forever if they want.
50:16 “So you had a playlist of music that the demon helped you pick out but you picked out some of them.” It was at this point that I just lost it and started cackling. As someone who actually suffers with psychosis and voices, that whole thing was hilarious for me to watch. Dude has ZERO idea what he’s talking about! 😂 I don’t think I could’ve kept my composure if I were the one interrogating him. That officer is a pro!
As someone who has genuinely seriously intentionally inflicted harm upon myself, I can't help but bitterly laugh at him lightly scratching himself in a feeble attempt to portray harm
Its part of the whole “victimhood as personality” package. It starts with doctors feeding antidepressants to kids at a young age. I say this as someone who grew up that way and it took a very long time to get over myself and stop trying to say things like this to virtue signal.
@dustinandclaire8861 oh....kay??? Because of course, sharing your experience is virtue signaling, and calling others out for commenting their life story is commendable and virtuous 🙏
He probably did it on purpose to create a „more organic“ interaction and make himself seen purposefully unprofessionally. It helps to create a „bond“ between the interviewer and the interviewee. Correct me if I’m wrong :-)
He's probably doing that to appear more harmless, like insisting he's old and can't hear well. At the end didn't even have to continue on with the act, so perhaps it is actually unconscious.
This had me cracking up. They don't give a shit after the cuffs are on. He's non threatening now and the cops know what has happened so their done with his shit. (He's trying his best but it's obvious the cop has heard this shit. Not to mention the perps actions immediately after the shooting, he's clearly not insane and they know it.)
