Florida Pre Med Student Faces CAPITAL PUNISHMENT for Own Mother's Murder! Emmanuel Espinoza

[@ChugalugDonna]

I’m so glad he never became a doctor. Imagine what he could’ve done.

[@livingintheforest3963]

YES!!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ScabibbleWilly]

You are so right.

[@genevievegreene1595]

Yes!!! He is a danger to everyone.

[@hilriekemp]

What? The two things don't even correlate and how many doctors have you seen or heard willing killing their patients? The medical board reviews all patient deaths especially those that happen while in surgery. And if we're being honest your statistically more likely to be murdered by a woman nurse in a hospital setting then you are by your doctor male or female. This guy is an animal and him wanting to be a doctor has nothing to do with it he could have been an exceptional physician and still killed people in his freetime. And last you want your doctor or surgeon to have some level of indifference and narcissism. It's only when you're doctor hesitates or second guesses himself that patients usually end up dying

[@ChugalugDonna]

@@hilriekemp I’m saying that he’s a psychopath devoid of empathy that would kill his own mother.. How much do you think he’d care about patients? Just so we are clear.. We are animals, mammals to be exact, but humans are the only mammal that kills for gratification/greed/lust/& on and on. Animals kill for survival. Get your head right.

I knew his Mother and her entire family he was also my daughter’s math tutor his senior year he was at my house 3 or more days a week. He was as sweet and kind as his mother was. He was brilliant but not the type of person that acted like he was smarter than everyone else even though he was. He wasn’t spoiled either. I have no idea what happened to him to cause this unbelievable change in his personality. I would have never expected him doing something so horrific. I hadn’t seen him since he graduated but I never expected to hear anything but wonderful things about him. His Mother is missed terribly by her family and friends and the entire city of Frostproof.

Scarily, to an intelligent person with any of the antisocial personality disorders, it's one of the perfect careers - power over life and death, seen as a prestigious career where you're highly valued and 'better' (to them) than ordinary people, and after a certain amount of time, you have people who have to show you respect and look up to you and you're very rarely questioned.

[@desert_moon]

It's happened before so it would not surprise me. This is why I don't believe you should tell children that they are geniuses or what their IQ is or that they are gifted/talented, or make a big deal of it. Just allow them to be kids and keep that information to yourself. I think it creates unnecessary pressure and stress for them to know that and have to continuously live up to that label.
