Anyone who'd torture a handicapped human being like this is just a VILE monster 💀 and this is definitely one of the worst of the WORST! It's heartbreaking to imagine what he sent through, along with the teacher. Sick!!!!! 😡 I hope you and me never have a neighbor such as this dude.

[@sharcrum]

It is very hard to believe that a human being can be like this to another human being. Just so hard to wrap your head around. I've hated someone so hard before that I thought my own eyeballs were gonna pop out of my own head but I could never do something even remotely close to this. I just hurt myself by letting that hatred eat me up but this guy wasn't even driven by hatred (or at least it don't portray it that way) so I just can't imagine how it happens.

[@raphaellavictoria01]

5:00 defensiveness, can't depend on people, it's just me: great, so what? That's exactly how I feel, but that never negated my empathy. I was bullied too, and not just a little. I hate it when someone tries to find a psychological/upbringing factor involved in these monsters. There is nothing to figure out, they are born predisposed to this bc they lack empathy, then some of them develop a taste for violence. Plus or minus a head injury. Nothing more to understand!

Again this criminologist with the farfetched "explanations". His neighbour reported the burglary to the police "and in doing so he'd taken the power away from Arkwright and he wanted that power back"... How about he wanted revenge for being caught by the police? It's like she's purposefully makes everything more complicated because she otherwise would have nothing to add to the show.

[@babavee100]

An horrific story. One of the worst I have listened to. I am bound to say however, that regretably there are many more children who are abused, but grow up to be successful and valued members of society, so one might ask if is it a question of choice, or is some 'bad wiring' at birth responsible. If the experts don't know, then I certainly don't. We are all so grateful to these 'experts' for their insight into the past and present of these monsters; but tell me.... After all their deliberations, is there any chance they might actually PREVENT a crime, instead of waffling on after the fait accompli ? If not, then they aren't much use are they?

[@bruggeman672]

@babavee100 and how do you propose to do that? Perhaps keeping millions of people desperate and on the verge of losing everything living paycheck to paycheck isn't the best way to create a healthy well adjusted population. What you've suggested is arresting people for crimes they have yet to commit... Would you like to be arrested for something someone else claims you will do eventually? If not how can you suggest doing it to others?

[@babavee100]

@@bruggeman672 No didn't..! In fact I am an avocat for NOT arresting people for what they MIGHT do,.. My point was, that these 'experts' do not contribute to preventing crimes.. and only there to analyse affer the fact. Once the judicial procedure deems someone guilty, then it is rather easy to pontificate about why they did it, rather than prevent them from doing it, which is a useless attribute and doesn't need the prefix of professor or doctor, or psychologist. It is the painstaking work of the forensic scientists and the police, and the courts who bring these folks to justice. Little help if these experts explain why they did it, because AS I SAID .;you can't arrest someone for what they MIGHT do and thank goodness for that ! Dear God... ! Read the comments carefully before you offer a gobbledegook reaction. MY gripe was against the 'experts' and their paid, useless performance for the telly, in telling us something we already know, once the perpertrator has been found guilty. Idiot !!!!

[@jesterr7133]

I enjoy this show, but it is not well researched. According to the textbook definition, Arkwright was not a serial killer, as his crimes were committed in the span of a few days. A serial killer is defined as a person who kills three or more people with a cooling off period between kills. As Arkwright had no cooling off period, he was not a serial killer, and is not listed as such in anything that I have read. I am surprised that trained Criminologists would refer to him as a serial killer.

[@yojez]

Thank you for this comment! Very astute

[@bruggeman672]

@Jester a serial killer is someone who kills two or more people no cooling off period needed. Definitions get updated now and then. If people want to play expert perhaps they should stay on top of their subjects of choice...

Reckoning under who? Is this more Christian fairy tails? How can you say stupid crap like this and expect people to take you seriously? You can't have it both ways. Either you truly believe that bull$shit or you want to have a serious conversation. You can't have both.

[@ChessArmyCommander]

@@chndlr18 _Reckoning under who?_ I hold the position that classical theism is true. That an ultimate creator God exists, and we know this in virtue of natural and special revelation. God's self disclosure. In nature, facts generally, are indirect evidence of God. _Is this more Christian fairy tails?_ I argue for the existence of God on classical theism. I don't agree with mainstream Christianity to a significant extent. For example, I think the trinity is false, and I don't believe there is a hell or eternal punishment. I'm a universalist. _How can you say stupid crap like this_ I can understand why you made that comment. You thought I was coming with mainstream Christian nonsense. Such as "turn or burn" teachings. _You can't have it both ways._ You haven't established that I asserted anything that is wrong. _Either you truly believe that bull$shit_ First you're going to have to show that the proposition of the existence of God on classical theism is a problem. Otherwise your criticism is vacuous. Right? _want to have a serious conversation._ I do quite often with skeptics. _You can't have both._ You haven't shown that there is a problem on my end.

[@ChessArmyCommander]

@@chndlr18 Again, I'm not apart of the Christian religion. I don't agree with far too much of it. I also have some bad news for you. Since your comments implied that you hold to an atheistic worldview. Here it is. In the theism/atheism dichotomy, its the theistic worldview that is internally coherent. Not the atheistic worldview. The atheistic model of reality has no very first principle of any ultimacy. NO metaphysical primary category. That means a skeptic will not be able to account for that their model of reality has intelligibility. Due to how the skeptic has no ultimate source of dependent facts to appeal to. Whereas a theist doesn't have that problem. God basically defined on classical theism, means that a theist has a very first principle, of a divine ultimacy of reality for grounding the viability and intelligibility of all the general facts that we know. That's why I'm not an atheist.

Like ok go thst route to but don't cut off all other leads and suspects I was freaking out watching one documentary because the old guy Oldfield totally fucked investigation right up by taking it way too personal I would have demanded he step down if I were Lapteau I think it's spelled because he had the ripper in his sights and knew Sutcliffe was their man but was humiliate by Oldfield for what for doing a great investigation and zeroing in on the right guy only to be told he didn't sound lkke a jordie so right there Oldfield should have Been told ok your getting way too out of hand and cost 3 women's lives ,,becsuse of his actions and attitude plain and simple
