For saving dogs?😂

[@Jokermolester]

@sbravo831 Yes, saving dogs. Saving feeling, sentinent creatures whom feel pain, fear and are innocent and just want to be loved and happy. I would save a dog's life any day over a human's. Humans are the worst, nature destroying creatures creating pain, suffering, and by their egoistic, selfish nature practice r@piñg the sh1t out of everything they get their leech-like filthy ways spread around on. Humans were a mistake.

[@jaebyrd4608]

I have no words how incredibly stupid it is to sit and wait knowing a wildfire is coming directly at you. the idea of waiting like her husband is Superman or invincible like he can walk through fire is beyond me. It was so incredibly stupid considering she was taking this chance with a child

[@magnoliaflower3310]

Agree. She also made firefighters work more than needed to rescue her when they could have done other things. Her husband drove back into danger when he could have been in a much safer area. I understand that not everyone has to think like a collective, but she should have followed other people and go to a safe zone.

[@olililiomart3472]

I agree, what an idiot… It was a mandatory evacuation, and she chose not to follow directions. All because of her and her husband’s “intuition” when the people with experience and know how, had already told her to leave. Stupid people making it harder for first responders.

[@jillianpw9789]

Wow!!! You guys sound like a bunch of ignorant people, I actually lived through that wildfire myself, we were told in the town of paradise that we had nothing to worry about, the fire started up in the mountains far away from us, all of a sudden 60 mile an hour winds came up, and before we knew it, our town was on fire with no escape plan, we all thought we had time, it took 80 football fields in minute, please do some research, California campfire, I literally choked up reading your comments, when you have no idea what we went through, maybe you should think before you type never knowing of people who went through that might be reading it

[@kadygirlforever]

I had to put my dog down after 12 years together, she was in pain and dying so it was an act of mercy. I can’t imagine just throwing her away for a puppy. Our connection just grew through the years, she was family. Even now, getting a new puppy will never replace her. It was heartbreaking but a blessing at the same time to hold her in my arms as her soul left her body. Pets are living beings, innocents entrusted into our care like children, and should be respected as such.

[@redwoodrebelgirl3010]

​@@kadygirlforever Amen. ❤️ I'm so very sorry for your deep & terrible loss. I'm so very sorry that you lost your good girl. 💔 May she rest in peace, perfection, freedom, & Joy, for Eternity. You WILL see her again. I KNOW you will. 💗 I wish you comfort, healing, strength, support, Light, Hope, & ever-increasing Peace, until that day, a long, long time from now. (Yet, a blink of an eye, in the face of Eternity.). I am not surprised that a new puppy won't "take her place". *_*No*_*_ precious animal friend ever takes the place of _*_*another*_*_ precious animal friend._ But, having a new friend in your life _can_ be a blessed, healing balm for the heart, Spirit, & Soul. And, it can bring Love, Light, Life, Laughter, Beauty, & JOY to your life, which can lighten your burden of grief & loss. And, having a new FOCUS, & being very busy, as one is, with a new animal friend (especially a puppy!) can also be a blessed, helpful, hopeful, & joyful distraction from our grief & loss. However, please don't rush it. Your heart will know. ❤️ Alternately, if you need the healing (& distraction), but do not feel quite ready, you can just go to the shelter, & fall in Love with someone, so that you can't HELP yourself but take your precious new friend home. ;) God be with you, hold you close, & bless you hard. 💗

When there is a mandatory fire evacuation you go. I'm not one to usually comment but that last story got to me.. and a mandatory evacuation, especially with the child, leave no questions asked. you don't wait for somebody else to come get you! you just go! it almost makes me a little bit upset but at the same time I'm glad they were able to get through and tell their story. I hope This was a big lesson. I live in Southern California and I see wildfires Every year and It just makes me scared for people that think like these people..they aren't always as bad as the Camp Fire but they do take lives every year and those mandatory evacuations need to be taken so so seriously especially especially especially if you have children.

That lady bashing the dude with a knife in the head with a baseball bat, that is fantastic. You go girl, stay safe from those incels.

[@BORNdischarged]

@@amg3790 Yes, I do. It’s a noun, generally associated with online communities of men who belittle, demean, troll, and sometimes attack women for misguided beliefs that they are the sole reason for their problems. Sometimes even taking their misdirected aggression out on sexually active men out of jealousy or other selfish reasons. Essentially they’re neck beards who lack social etiquette and blame women for everything wrong with their life and sometimes even equate that with what’s wrong with the world. They also sometimes break into women’s houses in an attempt to to whatever depraved incel crap they have planned. When people try and pull these “gotcha moments” on a comment about someone getting what they had coming it really comes off like you’re trying to defend the guy hit with the bat, is that what your intentions were here?

[@jayw.2493]

​@@BORNdischarged You're trying to counter a "gotcha moment" with an actual gotcha moment. No one is defending incels nor are they defending the guys in the story. But also maybe don't continue to misuse an already chronically misused term and apply it where it makes sense next time?? Thanks!

We live in oroville my family was expecting them but they had gotten stuck in the worst of the traffic we were beyond panic when it took almost 2 hrs for them to get to my aunt and uncles house. My poor niece was only 7 and was so traumatized. I will never be able to forget it seemed like time stood still waiting for it to be over seeing all the smoke tons of ash all over everything.

Winds gusted upwards of 60 miles an hr and the fire hit paradise ca in just minutes! Demolishing 80 FOOTBALL FIELDS A MIN! I lost everything but the clothes I was wearing that day. It was the worst in California history. Look it up, Camp Fire.. Paradise, Ca 11/08/18 I was super surprised to hear someone who had been through that tell their story on here! Anyways, have a great night! 😊😊

[@corrienotcorey]

The Camp Fire will always be with me. I spent my college years in college in Chico, twenty minutes away from Paradise. There is no going back to that place. Ironically, it was the first place I ever saw snow. In a weird turn of events, I volunteer in an animal shelter with a woman who lost everything there. Everything except her and her husband's records. They owned a really popular store in downtown Chico. It's where I bought my first record ever. Her husband sold it to me ten years ago and now I'm meeting her, almost to the day. The happy ending is that she is now opening a new record store in Florence, Oregon. It makes me so happy they were able to make something out of the saddest and scariest situation possible.

[@viancyc9381]

The story about sleeping overnight on pch Growing up we were told never to do that. Not because the locals were dangerous but because it's such a touristy area you don't know what kind of people are really out thereally out there waiting to stop tourists or to take advantage of them there is one too many stories about how people from other cities nor cities not even from the area itself comes specifically to break into cars and it's just terrible. I hope the people in the story are doing so much better and that one day they do catch those men.

[@cyndytower1263]

This is for the two women who went camping and were accosted. I'm so sorry you had this experience. But don't give up on camping together. I can tell you that just up until s couple years ago I was an avid outdoors woman. I used to run 7 to 10 miles every morning on along the Potomac river, Geo. Washington parkway at 5 a m. There would be other people occasionally, but it was often dark out and I ran through three or four large areas of woods. I eventually moved to New Hampshire and took up mountain climbing and hiking. I most often was alone because as a nurse I worked 3pm to 3am. so it was hard to find hiking partners. I always had a knife mostly as a useful tool but also for safety. I spent years climbing and hiking the White Mountains. I enjoyed every moment I was out there. I was never accosted, hit on or threatened. It wasn't because I was ugly either as some might think. It's because most people that enjoy hiking and climbing are there because they enjoy the outdoors and not to pick up or get picked up. So don't lose the desire to go camping, it's so much fun and being outdoors sleeping under the night sky is amazing. God Bless.

I live in Florida and people always assume in mandatory evacuations that they will be ok, but when the mess is over, nobody is coming for them. If you ever get a mandatory warning, please leave immediately. Even though it upsets me when people put themselves in danger like this, I’m glad her and her son made it out alive, even though they definitely came out traumatized for life.

The wild part of it is how she was able to check stuff. It spread so fast I never got the official mandatory evacuation because all communications crashed. Couldn't even use my cell until we got to Chico. Yeah even warnings you should have stuff prepped to run. You don't ignore mandatory. She's very lucky cause that fire melted so many cars trying to escape and how the firefighters actually helped her. When mandatory evacs for fire kick in here they're attached to a warning that if people stay that emergency personnel won't be able to help them. It's pretty chilling tbh

When I was 4, I went to a beach in California with my family and relatives. While in the water with my Tia, the lifeguard sent out the warning of a shark in the waters. Well my Tia dipped and left me in my floatie and ran for her life. I saw the shark but was then grabbed by my dad and taken to shore. I thought I saw a mermaid and later told my whole class my experience with my mermaid friend 😅

For those that lost their homes and family in the fires up at Paradise, I’m so sorry and will continue to pray for y’all. I pray the insurance companies find a heart and do their jobs to at least help y’all get some of what y’all built. May you find the strength to keep moving forward.

[@johnnagalloway8056]

I’m from Paradise CA and went through that awful evacuation. Both my mom and my and my dad lost their houses in the fire along with all of our belongings and pictures/memories. They each rebuilt.

[@t.mendous7922]

My grandparents lived outside Paradise at the time of the fire, but my cousin was able to get them out before things got really bad. They also lost everything, and now my grandmother lives with my aunt. My grandfather passed soon after moving

The scariest story in California is the name Eric Garcetti. The man that ruined Los Angeles.

[@JustinSimperlake]

Literally put these stories on every night! Love you man

[@ecsaj33]

Charles! 💀

[@LadyKris3345]

I hope you are doing well Joel. You put out so much great content for your fans but make sure you take time for you and don't get burnt out. I worry about you but love and appreciate all the videos you put out. This is by far my favorite channel ever.

[@euroshane]

How crazy, the story about the 2 girls going camping in Yosemite are from my current city I live in! So weird to hear it mentioned!!

[@randomvids9507]

Story 1. Please always go to a hospital. Not an urgent care. Urgent care centers are completely useless and won't do anything for you. My aunt is a retired nurse after 37 years and told me that urgent care centers often do nothing useful

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

They don’t. They’re a waste of money

[@KD....]

"Thanks so much friends, and remember......to wash your ass." Lol Was not expecting that in the slightest 😂

[@PumpkinPieDoll]

That woman who found that dog ring is A HERO, AN ICON, MY IDOL 💝💝💝

[@GoddessPallasAthena]

I really enjoy these state/location stories. I live in CA and have seen the Camp Fire (around Paradise) on the news as it happened. Also heard about shark sightings in waters near CA. While some of the stories could have happened almost anywhere, some were very specific to our state.

[@blakem.2611]

Going for a walk and stepping on a needle and then getting hepatitis c is the most California story I've ever heard

[@Anjela2211]

Freaking LOVE the 🐕 shelter woman! What an absolute 💯 star 🌟

[@invhincible2211]

To the woman who save the dog. Thank you for saving the dogs and thank you for putting this low life in jail

[@pentagrin4157]

First story is messed up on every level, but a big one is that how he wasn't able to get medication. Life-saving medication like that needs to be free. My dad got infected with Hep-C because of his last ex-wife, as much as I hate him for abandoning us as a father it still hurt to see him suffering from it when he used to be so energetic.

[@sstephkate86]

It's sad that people don't have access to drs and medicine. How many lives are lost becasue of this ? How many people resort to crime to get what they need ? It's horrible

[@LEE-kq9tq]

Scary stories from California The story- "So I live in California...... the end."

[@amaliachristina]

Yes! I can finally watch the video! Thank you Joel! 🖤

[@AmandaE24]

I can't stand people who fight/ hurt dogs. Monsters. Good for her for doing all she could to get answers and getting him caught.

[@KikiCakes]

That shark story made me think of The Shallows lol

[@alldat06]

Your voice is so hypnotic that I instantly get sleepy when I tune into your stories...keep'em coming sexy voice.

I’m from California and this video shows our state well, driving to San Francisco from Fresno rn lol so hot too

[@HakuFreak19]

Lol it's been hot for October. Bet San Francisco is more cooler than over here in Fresno. Where I work at we have Been getting a lot of biker for some reason and rn the Big Fresno Fair is going on too. Rn I'm sick from the flu, went to work for a bit. Been out for about a week and today I was feeling a bit better but got send home after 3 hrs. But yeah IHOP (downtown one) was dead, got busy for an hour but after that just died. Maybe everyone is getting going out of Fresno or at the Fair. Hmm 🧐 hey hope you had a safe trip.

[@meeeepducks5681]

Love this set of stories Joel! Probably my favorite so far! Keep up the awesome work. :):):)

[@PhantomMagician1846]

That 1st story is crazy. That woman will be haunted for the rest of her life with a "what if" question..... What if I wore Converse instead of flip flops that day. My heart goes out to her. We need to do better as Americans. Cleaner streets, better mental health care, medical insurance for all

[@vojake100]

I grew up in Oxnard!!!! And work in Camarillo! Thia is so cool that you covered this! I love your channel

[@emilylavelle7636]

Joel this is magic to my ears ur so creative with the themes I'm obcessed 🧦👌❤️

[@SB-wo1vv]

The girl from the animal shelter is amazing!! We need more people like her in this World.

[@Poloassassin828]

Ok, end of that dog story, totally crying.

[@celesteortiz4304]

Hearing Camarillo, and being from Oxnard. Hello there 👋🏽 😄

[@TheHighlanderGirl]

DAYUM -- these ONIONS!!!!!! To the HEROIC WOMAN WHO BUSTED UP THE DOG FIGHTING RING - GOD BLESS YOU!!!!! Bravo Zulu - I salute your bravery and determination to hold fast for Morpheus and those forced to fight. You’re amazing and Morpheus has the silverest lining to the darkest storm clouds of his former life. Many happy, healthy years to both of you together! May all those other dogs find their forever loving homes.

[@AstroChildLabs]

Here for the encore upload! 😅 Glad you fixed it - really appreciate all your hard work dude!

[@laceyerickson1262]

That last story was so intense made me cry lol

[@susieturk1]

I volunteer at a city shelter who take all dogs. These horrors are true and we fight everyday to save these dogs. Thank you for bringing awareness to this huge problem❤️💔

[@nicholestroup1770]

If you ever think somebody's following you don't do not pull up to your destination Excelsior home keep driving but to a fire station the police the hospital somewhere safe always know your surroundings and go with your first gut instinct

[@susiejones3634]

Really loved this video, thanks Charles. Take care ❤

[@buckeyegirl16]

I wouldnt be stupid enough to stay home during a mandatory evacuation but if I was for some reason, I'd never submit a story admitting my stupidity.

[@NuckingFuts56]

Damn! Born and raised from California moved to a much better state. There are a lot of changes since 1998! I’m married happily. But growing up there was definitely different. People, over population, but the ocean and theme parks and places to eat! But Violence is what drove me to move. Thanks for sharing the interesting stories your voice. I listen because I never watch tv. You are on my top 10! list ❤ of favorites. Thank you. 1:10:04

[@eriktout5084]

Can't believe that people actually believe most if not all of these stories , wow ! AI is going to be a mind bending experience for those who do .

Thanks for the video ❤

[@AshleyMintz]

These stories are nuts! Omg.

I actually felt bad for the guy that only wanted medicine let’s hope he got the treatment he needed while been locked up in the hospital, thank you lets read brilliant as always 😊😘😘

It sucks that women can’t do a lot of things alone because of awful predatory men out there.

Yeah if I ever see a woman doing something fun I always go and ruin it. It makes me happy.

[@susanlsolarz8920]

My thought exactly! The last sentence of that story made me so sad.

@@CalvinCandieMO Damn bro, his comment hit a little too close to home or smth?

Why don't you take matters in to your own hands? 99% of the time you'll be fine but for that 1% of the time carry a firearm and get trained to use it effectively. There's things you can and should do to ensure your safety no matter your gender.

[@flednanders4601]

@@alrightalright4585 I mean I feel pretty safe. I’m a 6’1” male and I’m in relatively good shape. But yeah I do worry about whackos with guns quite frequently.

the first story is the scariest story I have ever heard from you. I also live in San Francisco
