That first story is going to occur at my job. Theres these 2 guys who wont leave this third guy alone so ive told my supervisor if he ever flips out and hurts them, its their fault. They think its funny to poke the guy on the spectrum with a stick -_- I just pray and pray and pray that he doesnt go off on them violently (i mean its being taken care of but at the same time theyre still thinking its a game) 13:39 being shitty kids didnt make him fall btw, he probably woulda fallen anyways

@@theredscum4202 if you think about it though, they chanted for that man to fall, and he did. I’d imagine someone feeling guilty for chanting for a man to fall to his death, following by him actually falling to his demise, leading to a guiltily feeling of it partially being their fault.

Here's ya one. I hang sheetrock I was on a job in Kansas years ago and the electricians were brothers . They were from Oklahoma and had been on the job for about 5 weeks and the younger one was ready to go home. The job didn't any lights on yet and the younger bro kept hounding the older one about going home for the weekend. The older one finally told him as soon as it gets to dark to work they would leave. The younger one walked over to hit him way to hard in the head with his hammer and said lights out m******f****r. Nobody said a word.

Being a life long construction worker I’ve known my share of “Marks”. I certainly don’t condone murder, but a good butt-kicking is usually well deserved and does a lot of good. Unfortunately they are usually the sort to wine to the boss or cops when that happens.

This one was so good I didn’t want it to end! I could have listened to these types of stories for hours. Also went and subbed to your friends channel. The content is really interesting and well made from the video I have seen. Looking forward to more from both of you.

[@Samantha-qx9ow]

I've been a fan of Mr. Black/The Disturbing Truth for awhile now, and it made me smile to hear that y'all are friends and to see his channel being promoted. His videos are so underrated and have such a professional/hi-quality feel to them. They're SO good, and the stories are SO disturbing/shocking (My favorite kind… Even though it's super rare to find ones that truly shock me, he somehow almost always does!!) asdfghjkl, I love both channels!! 🖤🖤

[@ZiZla999]

These stories aren't scary, they're tragic. It just shows how hard life gets and can kick you while you're down sometimes even literally. As much as I love America, there is so much broken financially and systemically here that can punish honest hardworking people. It's as if these construction stories are a metaphor - one small mistake and your entire life can fall crumbling down.

[@GoddessPallasAthena]

One moment and on the job, and you're near bankruptcy. Our healthcare system is a scary story. I hear from people from all over the world, just scratching their heads at WHY it's the way it is and why we seem OK with it. I've heard too many stories like this, though not always with one injury but often with serious illness that takes long treatment. People who, some, comfortable middle-class people, who found themselves in financial trouble after one of the family members had a serious illness. And in years past, of insurance companies who gave bonuses to employees who would go through paperwork to find "lies" (probably more like honest mistakes) on forms that their clients filled out years ago, so they could cancel the coverage, sometimes mid-treatment.

[@missdolittle]

The guy who fell during construction work is funny. He said nearly the exact same thing as his negligent boss friend when checking the structure and blew it off the same way. Perfect example of when u point one finger, 3 fingers point right back at you.

[@Rainy..Day.]

Wow, I didn't know u and Mr Black were/are friends. That's awesome, he's truly underated and one of the best on KZbin, well IMO. Thanks for promoting him ❤️

[@Kiansza]

Joel, do you think you could do a video about the residential school survivor stories??

[@abellabarbie]

You mean the genocide?

[@LinSama0717]

People's personal stories about being tortured and abused for years are not for your entertainment. These things are so horrid that they don't even discuss it with close family and friends because it's too painful. If they ever find the courage to speak about it, then they will, on their own terms. It's not your place to ask for their traumatic experiences for a Scary Story KZbin video. Asking people to re-live their trauma for you is disgusting. Have some respect.

[@arbutusviper1]

That's a tough call because it's such a raw, sensitive topic involving numerous victims. It might work, but it has to be handled carefully. There are plenty of horror stories about government sanctioned abuses toward minorities all over the world (US, China, Canada, Turkey, Australia...the list goes on). The trick is to share their stories tactfully without seeming exploitative.

[@jenniferw5095]

RIP Moses. You left us a gift. Thank you.

[@randomly_unlucky7877]

[@terrasause2182]

These stories are really sad this time

[@AZyzk]

First story: Oh, OK. So, that dude deserved to die because of a joke? You sounded like that in the end bish.

[@alejandraalcantar4805]

Danny really hit the nail on the head. No but that's awful to be pushed that far. No one should have to feel on the edge like that.

[@coffeebeanB]

Wow, American health-care is indeed a horror story, it's stupid how much it costs to go for an emergency situation, dying is cheaper in this so-called great country. I paid almost (correction) 4000 for a hairline fracture on my elbow and sprained ankle, and what did they do? Do x-rays and tell me, yeah, there's not much we can do, just don't use your cast (wtf) and it'll be back to normal in 4 weeks (shi hurt like hell) and a few physical therapy sessions (another bs dump of money where they barely did anything and focused more on my weight than in recovering mobility in my elbow. Still screwed up more than a year later. Life lesson: don't even dare get into accidents in this country

[@jacquelynbean5771]

Wasaaa

[@codyfullerton6382]

Oooooor, and this is just a suggestion, get health insurance…? Since you know… they like, cover that for you…? Oh oh I’m sorry I totally forgot! You can tell by your single comment that you believe health care should be free😂😂😂

[@melissajacobs5822]

Ooof story 1, i feel bad for Daniel. Story 3, im glad you & your relationship survived that horrible accident 💚 Story 6 omg i legit teared up 💔 Poor carpenter.

[@amaccoy]

The last story didn't go as badly as I thought it would. I heard " collected military items from WW1 and WW2" and was sure there was a live shell or a grenade that was going to go off when they tried to move them.

[@melawyn9096]

The last story is so sad. An every day occurrence for many people who live in America. If I got bitten by a snake and sought treatment at the hospital, I wouldn't have to pay a cent; maybe just for parking at the hospital

[@kat3217]

Yeah it’s awful. In my town a single ambulance ride costs around $3k, it’s insane. One of my friends got in a car crash and didn’t get in the ambulance bc she didn’t want to pay all that money it’s sad. Luckily she was like 90% ok

So I love your stuff and The disturbing truth was very well done. Please understand people it is extremely disturbing. Like no joke. I have been listening to true crime stuff for over 20 years now and I have a pretty strong stomach. The very first episode of The disturbing truth i actually had to turn off half way through because it was so disturbing I was getting nauseous. That is saying a lot for me. So The Disturbing Truth is very well done but fair warning it is next level disturbing 😳 😬 🤔

[@Areniapixie]

These readings make me realize things about myself that I don’t quite feel comfortable with. I feel zero sympathy for the dude hit by the hammer 😬😳

[@GoddessPallasAthena]

Totally understand. On one hand, I wish it was just some bruises, but Mark was probably the vindictive type and get Daniel in trouble. If nothing else, Daniel (who sounds like he was otherwise a decent person, shown by the fact that he felt he had to do penance by refusing parole, or maybe he was afraid of his own ability to act violently and wanted to protect others) seemed like a decent person outside of this incident, would have been arrested for assault rather than murder. But kicking someone when they're down, especially if you don't think/know they'll take it well, is just cruel. Mark was either so socially inept that he didn't know NOT to do that, or most likely, had a really bad cruel streak. They mentioned racism and misogyny. I have to wonder how many other people he may have hurt to the point of psychological abuse (such as family, partners, friends) and enjoyed it.

[@SneakySalaXander]

It was likely discussed that the that day would be finishing building, next would be cosmetic. So like staining, or decorative fixtures. If you notice, he said he left immediately after placing the last portion, not checking his work. Meaning, he couldn’t inform the owner of any unsafe portions, because his stupid ass felt his home life was more important than the safety of his clients. You don’t just “forget” to glue/nail something in carpentry. That’s literally the first thing drilled into your head: safety. In carpentry, you triple check your work. Not just to make sure it’s safe for the client, but to cover your own ass. Because the client was likely told it would be the last building day, it’s perfectly reasonable to assume it would be safe. His negligence was the only thing that made it dangerous.

[@samankhadirrash5700]

This was one of the saddest compilation of stories I had ever heard. With both Moses and the guy who paralyzed someones son oh man. Great narration but some horrible stories
