🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To THE MAN WHO TERRIFIED THE FBI!

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

8:38 Why have a camera pointed like that? Because the owner is more worried about employees stealing than catching criminals.

[@fanny_g]

Yea the "logic" is the camera is a deterrent and so no one is going to try anything because they'll get busted. Fyi almost all store owners before the information age operated on this "logic" they would have fake cameras (especially in dollar stores & 7/11 stores) and just tell the employees to yell "we got you on camera the cops are on their way!" Or have a camera but no tape to record anything bc it was "too expensive". In this case it looks like the owner just figured any old camera would do. Either that or the tape was reused so many times the footage was bad.

[@sharcrum]

That's a sad thought.

[@hanabi8698]

I foolishly looked up that 'Proof of Life' photo when originally watching this, but then found out the truth about it and I regret it. The chills and the unsettling feelings... never really leaves. Even just thinking about it...

If I was a young female working alone, I'd be packing heat. I lived in Anchorage for a little over 8 years. Some really weird folks up there, but mostly great people. It's legal to have a firearm. I also don't understand why she would let him tie her hands. She could have thrown boiling hot water in his face and called 911, or shot him had she been armed. So sad. My dad is a retired marshall. Ladies, he always told me to NEVER obey a criminal! You think of any way to get away.

[@baronvg]

I agree. Seems like listening to a criminal NEVER turns out well. Better to fight for your life than the alternative.

[@MelaniePoparad]

A self defense expert said to make as much of a scene as possible if someone is trying to abduct you because once you’re in their vehicle or whatever… you’re probably not going to make it out alive and if you do, you will prob never be the same. People will generally choose the path of least resistance so if you fight and make a it a big deal, they might give up on you.

[@LA_HA]

@@MelaniePoparad I wonder how she could've made a scene while being led away from the kiosk if there was no one around because of the weather and the location? Once in the car, was there any chance of getting out or trying to get someone's attention? Remember what this a-hole said, he targeted different people without regard to age, sex, or size; though I really wonder if he was telling the truth. I mean, would he have kidnapped a bigger, more powerful and capable male? Plus, he strikes me as a person who tells what I call "devil's lies". These are lies that are mixed with varying degrees of truth (or vice versa) meant to cause the most pain, confusion, etc. He appears to tell devil's lies to give his victims hope, and sometimes, in these situations, hope is a dangerous thing because it makes his victims docile, cooperative, and rather than planning an escape instead of waiting to be released, put into a state of Stockholm syndrome in which the victim becomes dependent and even grateful to their would be killer. It gives him all the power and he can do what he wants according to his own schedule. And with all that's said and done, isn't that what happened to her? Maybe the OP is right. Fight like hell because you're likely going to be murdered anyway. Do we never negotiate with terrorists and try to fight it out anyway when there's even the slightest chance compliance can get you free? It's hard to know

[@wolfe6220]

Yep. I'd rather die fighting, and have a chance at my family recovering my body, than submit to some twisted fuck like that. Any real thief only wants the money as quickly possible and to get away unnoticed. If they start demanding anything else, the money is just the cherry on the sundae.

[@lovely1641]

That man was beyond messed up for 3 main reasons: 1.He stashed kill kits in different places so if the urge hit him it would be easy 2.He gave that poor girl false hope that she would be saved just as an experiment 3. He sent a photo of her already dead to her parents and her parents thought for some time and had hope they'd see her again. Only for her parents to realize later they're holding a picture of their dead child.

[@xzonia1]

Yeah, I can see why this guy frightened the FBI and why they didn't release his full confession. Just the things we actually heard are so disturbing! :(

[@lonelylionsingle7582]

Oh shit! You’re doing a mr ballen vid?!?! Lesssgooooo!!!!!! You’re a real one for reacting to Mrballen!!!!!!!!

[@elkins4406]

Mr. Ballen's a great storyteller. Can you imagine being that psychopath's little girl? She was ten years old when he was arrested. I wonder how old she was before she learned exactly what her father had been up to all her life, or that for the entire duration of that (I assume) fun family trip to New Orleans with Daddy, a girl not all that much older than she was had been lying dead in their garden shed, because Daddy had abused and murdered her for fun. You must need *decades* of therapy, I'm guessing, to even *begin* to unpack a personal history like that.

[@kimlersue]

There are groups who are helping the children who suffer the stigma of being the child of a seriel killer. We need to remember the families of these creeps almost always innocent victims as well.

[@MelaniePoparad]

Businesses use surveillance cameras as a deterrent for criminals and to monitor employee behavior. Employees do a lot of shady stuff when they aren’t being monitored by someone else. It’s not necessarily to identify criminals. It’s kind of like a robber won’t try to break into a house that has a dog of any size because even a small dog will alert the owners to a problem.

[@joannamcpeak7531]

I used to work the nightshift at a 24 hour bakery. We had some scary patrons, but we also had surveillance cameras. After a few months, the owner laughingly told me that none of the cameras worked. They really didn't seem to care.

I think a lot is due to the the great way Mr. Ballen is at storytelling.

[@dianecomly6132]

Mr. Ballen is gold. Israel Keys was a scary psychopath.

[@defftony]

Stuff like this is why I feel the death penalty argument shouldn't come down to just the current requirements. I do feel that as it stands the death penalty isn't hard enough to get, but I don't necessarily think elimination rather than a higher burden of proof and/or repeat offense is the answer.

[@defftony]

For example if a charged murder successfully escapes prison and is recaptured later, the death penalty is no longer about vengeance or not but about safety and effectiveness.

[@SacredWaves]

Mr. Ballen is a definite sub. He is the best story teller, imo, on the web. This guy can take a story, and place you there. He is, by far, my favorite story teller on KZbin.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Mr Ballen is a wonderful presenter. There is another YT video that specifically provides more details on his crimes. The totality of his 'work' remains unknown. He made a deal with the FBI for full disclosure with one of the main points was not to disclose his name to protect his daughter. As hiccups happen, through some administrative fluke, his name was disclosed and pickup by a reporter. When the news broke in Alaska, he was very angry shut down and suicided, ending the full disclosures of his crimes across the country. From what I had learned, he was uber prepared for anytime the itch to kill came upon him, anywhere in the country. Like most serial killers, he was very methodical about choosing total strangers whom he would stalk for a very long time, like a game. What is odd, beyond his killing focus, was his love for his child. That fact that he was so engaged and positive for a child (I think she was 10 at the time) is unusual. As with other children of these kinds of serial killers, I always hope the remaining parent/guardian helps them with change of name and a lot of counseling. Can you imagine how she will view that once in a lifetime trip with her dad, knowing he had kidnapped/raped/killed a woman and shelved her in the family shed while you were enjoying yourself for 2 weeks???

[@Serenity_Dee]

the fucker who murdered my mother hanged himself in his jail cell while awaiting extradition (the murder was in NC, he'd fled to Georgia where they tracked him down at a gas station). the detective who was working the case told me and my sisters, before the dude did himself in, that he'd almost certainly get the death penalty in light of the "heinous nature of the crime." (The evidence found in his apartment showed that it was premeditated, although my mom was a victim of convenience; it seemed like he just wanted to kill someone and she was there. He was an upstairs neighbor.) If he hadn't I would have asked if I could be the one to press the button that actually started the lethal injection, and my only regret would be that I only get to do it once. But I know it wouldn't have made me whole. Nothing can do that now. It's been almost 21 years and in too many ways the wound remains fresh.

To answer the question about the camera some owners are more concern about their employees stealing from them. Not the employees getting robbed so they only have the cameras on the registers. That place was isolated with walk up window should have been an outside camera... this was so sad and so unnecessary 😞😔😪

[@davidcopple8071]

Howdy from Texas. I had exactly the same reaction about the placement of the security camera. Having worked in law enforcement and as a store detective for years. I'm well versed in security camera placements and their intended purpose. That particular camera in this video wasn't placed in order to identify anyone outside of the kiosk but rather it was very obviously placed so that the owner could watch what her employees were doing while on duty. So the owner was apparently more concerned about employees stealing from her than she was about the employees safety. And there was absolutely no reason why she couldn't have spent just a little extra money to have two cameras. One for her employees safety set to record outside at the window. And then the one inside watching the employees. Horrible Boss!

This is EXACTLY why I said the conversation about capital punishment can’t be had without also discussing the victims. Sometimes the crimes are so disgusting by someone who clearly can’t be trusted to live amongst the rest of us. And in those cases, my first thought isn’t if capital punishment is too cruel, but rather that the death penalty would be getting off easy. I think the feelings of the families left behind should be taken into consideration too. Some may not want them dead for religious reasons, others may think because their loved one can’t live, neither should they. It’s all very subjective.

Keyes was particularly creepy because his public behavior was so normal, and he got away with so much because he victimized people far away from his home. ********** He is misusing the word "cachet," which means prestige carried by an individual and is pronounced, "cash-ay," as he does. The word he meant to use is "cache," which is pronounced like "cash," and means a group of items hidden together, as in a rucksack or a hole in the ground. The two words are frequently confused.
