This man was convinced I was putting things in his food trying to control him and kill him, locking me up in room for hours, calling the police on me telling them I am trying to poison him. I wouldn’t understand what was happening until I spoke to his mother. Long story short I had break up with him after he tried to kill me on night. If I date someone now I wanna know if they have mental health issues cause I don’t wanna go through that again. And please I am not bashing anyone with mental health issues cause if the person is medicated it can be controlled but if it’s not then it’s not easy to deal with. Being with someone that has mental illness that refuse treatment is like hell!!!! Never again!!!!

@EyesOfTheBeast his story is he was raped, and then dropped off at the bus station, where he HUGGED his supposed rapist, and later went back to him for a place to stay. The victim didn't even have defensive wounds, meaning he never saw the initial blow to the head coming (if he was raping him, he would've seen it coming). Kai may have been triggered by something and had a violent episode (his history showed evidence of those). Then again, his history also showed evidence that makes it seem like he wanted to be a vigilante. Either way, at the end of the day, he brutally murdered someone who never even had the chance to defend himself, and then proceeded to smear his victim's name, even though there is not a shred of evidence the guy did anything wrong. Also, would you give someone a friendly hug the morning after supposedly being raped, and then go back to them for a place to stay the night? Gotta admit none of that sounds right.

You seem to think that simply because he was put in two life threatening situations because he's literally a homeless drifter, the homeless meet dangerous crazy people almost everyday. He was sentenced for murder because of the assumptions of people who have no idea about the realities of being homeless. Just like you they couldn't possibly believe that being homeless is actually that dangerous and they destroyed a mans life because of those false assumptions.

I blame Kai’s beginnings, his mother is a psycho and showed zero effort in getting him help as a kid. There is no doubt, Kai killed that old man.
