[@Kid_Kootenay]

well the argument could be made that if the adult who was hanging around them was a better role model they might have gone a different route. we have made adults around kids automatically a creepy affair and removed positive role models from the kids. people do not like everyone so if your kids do not like the coaches etc they will find someone else and good people are afraid to be that person for fear of being called a chomo.

[@Boyso5407]

This guy’s story has always baffled me. He went from a potential hero, where he could have possibly stopped all of this cause he’d overheard them talking about it, to a potential star witness cause he could’ve proven that they planned this murder and then to an actual accomplice by helping dispose the body. How he went down this road is just mind blowing. Why he choose to participate in all of this even after he left their house cause he was uncomfortable with the conversation just inexplicable. I’ll just never understand his thought process.

[@greenman6141]

Why did this man behave this way. He was part of their friend group. He did what they all did, participated. If you just ignore the parts where he says "I was shocked" "I didn't believe they would"..because those are lies meant to excuse himself,-then it all makes perfect sense. As the narration at the start said, he'd been hanging around with them for some time, both before and after the mother of several of these rat-children had gone back to her ex husband. They were his social circle. We can see what they're like, this group. They are, well, disgusting. Everything about them is degraded and sickening. They don't have a single thought which isn't shockingly repulsive. But this man, that was the company he sought out and enjoyed. So, the real question isn't why he did what he did. It is how he, or any of them, had become such people. It is as though there is nothing inside them. None of their emotions or thoughts are normal. Every single thing they say is shockingly evil and banal at the same time. The mother is exactly the same.. And she is the woman that this man was SAD had left him. That was his notion of a woman he found "lovable". How do you become a person who finds these dead eyed, vicious...things, the people you want to be with. THAT is what is impossible to comprehend. There is no surprise that he behaved as he did - he behaved like them, because he was one of them. How a person becomes like that though...that is a much more complex question.

[@2013Arcturus]

This poor guy 🥺 he's not any one of these kid's dad nor is he even Amber and Kyle's step dad at that time. Considering all that he was STILL there to help them out, not only did he give them rides to work and all that, THIS MAN QUIET LITERALLY HELPED THEM HIDE THE BODY! Gives a whole new meaning to the concept of ride or die! Obviously we all know how senseless and depraved this entire case is but damn did our homie James here get fucked over 💔

[@MichaelFagan-wn9fp]

He did it to himself

[@tabsg0015]

no, there was only one victim and that was the boy whos life was taken, Seth. he is a grown man who not only could have advised them not to commit the crime, but could have anonymously reported the boys and not his daughter, he could have refused to tote the body around. too many chances to turn back and take a stand, he just wanted to fit in and he chose this.

[@nidialeon5467]

As a parent, it is essential to intervene and talk to the adolescents if you hear them discussing anything related to killing someone. Ignoring the conversation could put the adolescents in danger of committing a serious crime. The parent needs to be responsible and guide the adolescents in the right direction by having a conversation with them and advising them not to take any drastic actions.

[@24get24give]

a conversation is the very least a parent should do, there is therapy, medication perhaps [depending on diagnosis, of course, and so on

​@@zacharymarkham5232He didn't serve any time because he was a law enforcement officer. Typical! Unfortunately since you said he didn't serve any time he basically got away with beating his wife. Hopefully they are no longer married, and I hope to God that he doesn't wind up in the future killing/murdering her. Many former officers have murdered their wives/girlfriends.

[@socialmediaego]

He never beat his wife because he’s not married. He got 5 years probation and resigned from his position. He now runs a law office as a bankruptcy attorney lol.

[@redfin382]

I joke around about killing people with my friends. " "oh I'll kill him if he does." " I will kill you if you do that." When you sit down and start planning a murder....then its clear they are no longer joking. Imagine knowing someone was going to die and goin to sleep without telling anyone. You have to be a sociopath to do that.

Why would you put him first confessing, then put the initial interrogation of him right after it. Kind of made the second half of the video pointless.

This man was ruled incompetent to stand trial. Can you imagine the corruption that needs to exist for this man to get off based on THAT?

[@TessaBain]

Being declared incompetent isn't getting off with it. You're literally just stuck into a mental ward somewhere for treatment. Either they eventually deem you fit and you then go to trial or they don't and you never get out despite never having a trial (the charges may be dismissed at some point depending upon where you are, but you're not going free). I swear you people are the ones who try to fake it, because you don't know what it actually means to be declared incompetent. It's not a declaration that you are free to go. If anything it's worse because if you actually aren't you're just dragging the entire thing out and risking never going free again even though you haven't been found guilty of anything.

It is hard to be mad at this guy while listening. When he says "I'm sorry". It's hard to believe he's talking about a murder. He makes kids look smart. He's only hanging out with them to get them to do it or to get them to help him. And he probably was friends with his stepdaughter because he wanted connection with his ex wife. He was not a father to his step daughter; friends. He cannot have adult friends with the way he thinks & acts.
