Boy Left Stranded for 17 YEARS in 1858 | Horrible Fates

[@gordonfreeman5179]

​@@fartgoobermonkey1667 I wanna know what judge looked at that guys douchey face after killing a girl and assaulting two other and only gave 12 years. Maybe the Netherlands prison has additional oversight on release or something though, I do think it's good that they try to rehab low level offenders but I really don't think murderers should get the chance.

[@BioHunter1990]

Yeah, and because of the "humane" position of joke justice systems like the Netherlands...the killer wasn't put in a gibbet and left to rot.

[@ChunkyOrca]

​@@gordonfreeman5179 Yeah the dutch law system is insane. An actual "life" sentence in the netherlands is maximally 20 years. However for these kind of offenders they get an insane amount of rehab. And they will only get released from rehab if it is certain that they won't recommit the crimes. And they are very strict so a lot of those criminals stay in rehab for the rest of their life.

[@heehoopeanut420]

So he assaulted an ex girlfriend, got locked up, assaulted a woman biking, hopefully got locked up, got out again, and finally he assaulted and murdered a 15 year old little girl, and was STILL only sentenced to 5 years and then changed to 12 later? 2 women and a girl were violently assaulted and 1 of them was murdered because they let this animal out every. single. time... Could you imagine if a man stabbed 2 people on 2 seperate ocassions, and then got out of jail only to stab and then kill another person? 1st and foremost, they would've been put away for a long time after the first stabbing! The second? Oh, they would be in jail forever! And to get out only to KILL someone?? Life in prison or death penalty, at least in the US. That's the kind of punishment these sex offenders deserve, I actually think it's WORSE to do that to someone than it is to just physically hurt them. I mean, damn, beating someone up can get you charged with ATTEMPTED MURDER and that's a lot of jail time! but sexual assault gets super light sentences comparatively, even though I know for a FACT every one, men and women both, would rather be beat up than be sexually assaulted. Yet the punishment is the opposite. Make it make sense.🤦‍♀️

[@derpymule7977]

These comments always confuse me, because honestly, do you understand how long 5 years is? And 12 is even worse. Are you really going to tell me that you’d live through imprisonment for what is probably, at that point, a quarter to a third of your life and immediately risk going back? Plus, are you really going to tell me you’re the same sort of person at ages, say, 24 and 36, especially after going through something like prisoner rehabilitation? I know we see all the stories about reoffenders, trust me I watch the videos too, but that’s a tiny, tiny minority. After 10 or so years of imprisonment the chances of someone being released and reoffending are pretty much the same as the chances of any given member of the public without a criminal record committing an offence. And yes, that applies to all crimes. The only reason to hold anyone at all longer than 10-20 years, unless they truly show no remorse whatsoever, is to make the victims feel better. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to completely destroy someone’s life.

[@oryzasativa9876]

Because god forbid these killers and rapist gets hurt or umcomfortable right, think about the rapist and killers! Who cares about three lives ruined and their family, not enough reason do destroy the rapist/killers lives i guess

If I might offer some criticism…if you are going to name an entire video after a single topic, just make the video about that topic. By the time the first completely unrelated story ended and I had already dealt with multiple ads, you basically lost my attention and I didn’t even really listen to the actual story you named the video after. I came fully prepared and interested to hear a story about a boy being stranded for 17 years and how he survived, but instead had to listen to a typical true crime story first that I wasn’t prepared for, not had any interest in.

[@fredanderson7728]

Hearing about cannibalistic aggressive tribes kinda reminds me of the video game, "The Forest".

[@charles2521]

I'm very skeptical of this narrative. Let's look at the facts: 1. Why did the tribe that rescued Narcisse behaved in such an opposite way? They are neighbors of the supposedly hostile tribe and had the same culture. 2. The boat had a much larger capacity than that which was taken, what was the reason for this? 3. Search about cannibalism in so-called "Europe". Whether for magical or medicinal reasons (books: "Medicinal Cannibalism in Early Modern English Literature and Culture" and "Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires"), hunger or even pleasure. From accounts of cannibalism of northern barbarians by the ancient Greeks (Androphagi), medieval fairy tales (such as Hansel and Gretel), to stories told on this very channel (The Raft of the Medusa). Armin Meiwes said that there are thousands of cannibals in Germany alone. With these facts and the traditional psychological projection of "Western ethnicity", it is easy to deduce that the truth is the opposite of what has been said. Furthermore, during colonization, many peoples (including the natives of New Guinea) were falsely accused of cannibalism in order to justify genocide. The book The Man-Eating Myth by W. Arens discusses this.
