    what ever happened to convict justice in prison…..??……………

    ~ Just another killer who never got revenge on who was really to blame, the guilty, rather than the innocent, which makes him the loser not the winner.
    So no matter how many people he killed, he never killed who was truly responsible for his emotional criminal affliction.
    ** REM:
    ~ Sociopaths think they know how society thinks & feels.
    ~ Psychopaths want everyone else to think & feel like they do.

    When Trump announced he was running for president for 2016 that day he said that Mexicans were rapists and murderers. Yet, most of the serial killers on Youtube and captured all over the United States are white crazy men. People who live in glass houses.

    January 5, 2024 at 9:09 am

    The fact that he felt the rush from what he did refutes the idea that he was a true psychopath, it proves he knew it was wrong and felt it was wrong which is where his elation came from

    people always talk about how guys like this are so emotionless. What is it that makes the mass of American culture so emotional because I don't seen it? They have to watch TV shows and videos and all sorts of stuff just to stir up some kind of feeling within themselves. No -Americans -most of them -are a cold bunch.

    Death by torture is the only right thing to do with people like this. And yes because sometimes revenge is justice.

    dus vanaf kinds af aan t/m dat je volwassen ben
    heb jij een overzicht gekregen

    hoe dit soort mensen gebruik maken van jou

    zelfs op dit moment zijn ze bezig

    van kinds af aan
    tot aan dat je een peuter ben
    word je een tiener dan zijn ze er nog steeds
    word je 20 dat blijven zen
    ben je 30 en ze zitten nog achter je aan

    elke leeftijds categorie zijn ze er aanwezig in je leven

    ben jij nu 16 dan zijn ze er nog als je 20 ben
    dus als je mee leest.

    geef ik je een omschrijving hoe ziek deze mensen in hun kop zijn en wat ze met je doen
    ik heb je beelden plaatjes en foto's gegeven toch

    nu blijven ze door praten in je gedachte
    maar de woorden en zinnen die ze jou laten uitspreken
    al die gevoelens die jij voelt al die gevoelens die er worden geproduceerd door jou lichaam

    is omdat ze jou nu vormen toch

    wil je dat ik verder ga?
    of moet ik ophouden
    _______________________________________________
    hoe oud ben jij nu?

    morgen zijn jullie er weer en doen dit soort mensen alsof er niks aan de hand is

    Humans are hunters, predators and this is what we live with even today when people are not adjusted to living a civilized life. Upbringing is everything!

    January 5, 2024 at 9:09 am

    Is KILLING not in our muscle coordination? Or is it being illegal something we humans created. Is killing natural in human beings? Because it doesn’t seem to go away, no matter what psychologist or psychiatrists do

  32. @DanKirchner5150

    January 5, 2024 at 9:09 am

    this reaffirms my initial thoughts on this man being nothing more than a great big JERK!!

    Hes just a pedofile rapist.

  34. @chintzrose

    January 5, 2024 at 9:09 am

    If he has no emotions nor feelings remorse then why cant he outright say how many he killed❓🤷🏾‍♀️ i say bs, true biology and mostly environment in his case hampered the natural processing if guilt ….he does have a soul, he is tormented and imprisoned in his SELf

  35. @FearIsaLiar

    Martin: and then what happens ?

    Tommy: it cracks like a coconut

    Martin: and then what happens?

    Tommy: well , you die.

    Martin: and then what happens?

    Tommy: depends on whether you've been a good person or not you'll go to heaven or hell

    Martin: and then what happens?

    Tommy: i'll smack your head on the concrete !

    When white people kill it has to do with the brain, when black people kill is a monster…

  40. @Alejandro-cc4hk

    January 5, 2024 at 9:09 am

    One thing I see is he's not in control of his emotions!! It's like he doesn't know who he is ! That's why is difficult to understand a person that forgot about the purpose of life

  41. @fatimamelo3858

    January 5, 2024 at 9:09 am

    This is horrifying to hear the calm of this man!? Hard to hear him talk 😅
