How I Robbed A Bank While Wearing A Burqa | Minutes With |

[@jordan12374]

The title of this video doesn’t give his story a lot of justice, this guy is braver than most men and is so admirable. Imagine having the courage to admit all of this and then dedicating your life to helping others in similar situations. God bless this guy and any other people going through abuse or neglect🙌🏼

[@salvadorsierra7153]

Is true what you say, but at the end, clickbait is what works on youtube. I dob mind it in this case bc i know os worth it. Also, this way this vids can reach more pp

[@siennamay3281]

@Jordan - I was about to say the same; the title sounds silly, like something a dumb teenager would do when drunk - which is why I didn't click on it for a while. I wasn't expecting such an in-depth story as we got.

[@tonydwyer5293]

I think the titles are all orchestrated, and very clever, here's why: The people who really need to hear this guy's story are those that will click on an interview about a bank robber but wouldn't necessarily click on an interview of a surviver of abuse.

[@mrsmallpinky9041]

That maybe so but it wasnt you that was robbed and left scared for life..

@@mrsmallpinky9041 he was raped and beaten repeatedly as a small child. It's cause and effect. If you're mad at him for abusing that woman, be mad at the people who abused a baby too. Theres a much bigger picture here which you seem to have missed. He's taken responsibilty, done the work to understand his trauma and is making amends. He apologises publicly at every opportunity. He wants to meet his victim amd apologise and explain himself. What more can you ask, other than for the guy to literally turn back time?

[@Vs3Walker]

It actually made me get teary when he talks about how important it is to talk and that is that men struggle talking cause it hits so close to home. I remember getting help growing up, but specifically when I was 18, the therapists either leaked things to family or were more on the unsupportive side. I lost faith in the system and as far as I could tell, the world was against me. After a year it was written that I was a normal person, but really I had just accepted that I deserved every bit and became a more broken man than I was before. Of course, thats years ago and I have thanks to my father getting back in my life, gotten proper help and guidance in taking back my life. What he did for me changed my life for good, and the only thing I can't get used to, but means so much to me, is the hugs he keeps giving me every time we meet.

[@TheGoldenboyo]

[@piggyMcchav1]

What that guy ended with about men not speaking out about problems is so bloody true n all and its something that seriously needs addressing. I'm guilty of it for sure, continuously letting things build up until either a problem becomes unmanageable or i flip out in a way that scares myself in hindsight.
