Cashing out the Fam | The Disturbing Case of Karl Karlsen

[@MirandaSinistra]

It's pretty twisted knowing that in his son's last moments he realized that his father was just gonna watch him die and do nothing.

Knowing he did that is absolutely heartbreaking. He is an absolute monster. They should put a truck on him for hours everyday for the next 25 years.

I'm a life insurance agent in all 50 states. Business is booming 😂 A lot of new laws have been made the last 8 years I've been involved in this business. It used to be that anyone could go and take a policy out on anyone else. Sometimes without even their knowledge. Now you have to prove insurable interest which means you are financially tied to the insured in some major way and they have to sign off on the policy being taken out.

Murder is obviously never pleasant, but to drop a car on his own Son, before leaving him to be crushed to death is quite easily one of the worst things I've ever heard. Clearly it isn't the same as serial killers who actively hunt people, but it's shocking in a different way. I couldn't leave an animal, (even what most people would consider vermin) to be slowly crushed, but his Son... I know that on these videos, (and others like them) some people often comment on animals, "I know that____killed ten people, but thankfully the dogs are okay" which is just how some people view things - I understand the empathy towards animals, so that's fine.

Amen! Someone who thinks like I do. Money is such a big motive yet no law is passed about life insurance policies. There should be an automatic check on life insurance policies right away when it comes to murders. So many murders could be prevented if life insurances policies were more regulated.

@goofballCartoonist They're not ignorant. Untrained people, especially in moments of high stress, aren't going to be able to accurately determine that someone is past the point of successful resuscitation.
