At this point, there's doubt whether Chris Hansen actually did that. Read the court records.

They should all be reviewed.

The Tiger Boi This quote is just sad and dark. It’s very negative and I just don’t like it. The whole saying is basically that “heroes” *must* die young to be treated with any significant value.

Otherwise most good guys or “heroes” live a regular long happy existence into old age and die just as good or heroic as they always had been, except by that point nobody cares... sad.

@Stoney Their actions could've led to him being in a suicidal state, even if he was ultimately responsible.

[@themudpit621]

Two ways, 1. you said it yourself 'suspected of', not proven. 2. TV Show broadcasting the 'confrontation' with this suspect to the world. Those two factors, along with his high profile public office, created a genuine crisis for him which was supposedly justified only by an artificial, victimless, false scenario, set up with the motive of profit. So while the suspect is ultimately responsible for their own suicide, the TV company contributed to it by creating the crisis that pre-empted it.

[@RustCole01]

@@supaseshXO I really don't consider the DA suicide a scandal, despite the manipulations on Hansen's part. Good riddance. There is an instance of Hansen and the show completely rail-roading at least 1 guy that was completely innocent. Some dude that was essentially doing something similar as "To Catch a Predator", showed up at one of the sting houses to warn the parents. He had screenshots of all the conversations where the fake victim was presenting the bait and this guy told her she was gonna get hurt if she kept inviting strange men to her house. The dude called the cops and showed up at the sting house and even had his story corroborated by the local cops but NBC still aired highly edited clips of this guy to make it seem like he was a pedo. I think that is ACTUALLY what led to the cancellation of the show. I don't know how the fuck the creator of this video didn't include this story. The death of the DA pretty much got the exact reaction as this comments section. Most people were quite pleased that a scumbag authority figure that regularly prosecuted teenagers for possession of marijuana, ended up dying in a terrified state of paranoia... knowing full well that everyone was gonna know he was a diddler. But after it got exposed that Hansen intentionally portrayed a fellow vigilante as being a kid-fucker, the network caught some serious heat. They also had another series of incidents where they had a sting-house that led to the detainment of like 20 pedo's but they were all cut loose because they used private security to carry out the investigations and arrests rather than involving local police. I think they also got caught trying to submit edited video footage as evidence to one of the courts. Personally, I think the man contributed a net-positive to society. Even though many of the arrests were thrown out, the show did manage to OUT quite a few unknown predators in communities that had no idea that they had child molesters in their midst. So I don't take any real issue with the original concept of the show but the way they did that one guy dirty was unforgiveable in my mind. Slapping the pedo label on someone is literally the worst thing you can do to someone and they appeared to very intentionally ruin this guys life.

It's weird Hansen would try to frame Onision as a cult leader instead of his more evident behaviour of grooming underage girls to use them for any purpose he wanted. Even from my cursory knowledge of Onision's history, those who've done the research know that his attempt to start a religion were very far in the past and ultimately fruitless. Hansen seems to want him to fit a particular narrative, which isn't good journalism. And what's even *more* bizarre is that there is so much you could do with the quasi legal or even likely illegal activities he's done, not to mention the evidence of abuse.

[@smokythebear1004]

Yeah as someone who watched all the interviews from the very beginning, Hansen only brought that up when the stories were starting to get repetitive or when he ran out of the more evident behavior in the first few interviews. I think he was just covering all his bases with this one not fixating on it. I personally always guessed that Chris was in this fornmoney but I didn’t care because I like how he tells it. That’s why people watch drama channels. I think people took him more seriosuly then they should have.

[@Predalien195]

You are aware that cults are not always religious right? There are several cults over the years that religion is not the center piece of it all. A guy who grooms underage girls for his own agenda can very well be that of a cult, especially if they fall for it and get sucked into it all. That said, I don't think that was the case so much as it was just general predatory behavior.
