After the verdict was delivered, the courtroom listened to Presiding Judge David Brabham seethe with moral outrage as he admonished Nancy Moses, who until that moment had appeared utterly unflappable. Then, Nancy gave the Judge (and the entire community of Kilgore, TX) a piece of her mind: "Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!!!" The Judge's leniency gave proper consideration to the greater context of the Rangerettes as an institution in Kilgore. A storied pillar of honor, pride, and tradition within their community.

[@doubleemcastillano464]

What I am wondering is what does the daughter think of all this? Story was that her mom was too intrusive into her relationships and it caused a break up. Next thing you know your mom is being arrested for kidnapping and you find out she tried to strangle one of your peers to death but made it home in time so dinner would be ready. It’s a new world of information into the person that parented you. Like, mom, what tf are you doing? Where did this come from? Why?! You’re making it harder to be normal. You quite literally are ruining my life. Oh you were trying to help? How are you gonna help me if you need help too?

[@aking4766]

And to have the Rangerettes involved which are also a Texas institution (arguably invented or made famous the good ole high kickline and have been the focus of numerous articles, documentaries, etc) Ah, DG, you killed me with the dinner comment! 😂 Seriously though, a total aspd/narc quite likely and still a complete danger to society.

[@magiccitymama1620]

That's what I piped in here to say. Two nutter mothers living vicariously through their unpopular daughters.

[@davishropshire5361]

Just as Texas takes “Friday Night Lights” H.S. football seriously, they ALSO take drill team, cheerleader, and majorette seriously. A high school classmate who didn’t make majorette due to “band parent politics” (quid pro quo crap) transferred to another high school with her parents’ blessing, and breezed through the audition, no problem. She even ended up becoming head majorette at the new school. It’s true, parents vicariously living through their kids to an unhealthy degree make things worse for everyone!

One of the key elements in life is the doing of justice and concern for those who suffer injustice. In this case, there was more emphasis on justice to the salmon dinner than to justice for the ones that Nancy said she really cared about. In this case, the optical lens was turned inward rather than outward, and the perverted sense of justice remained the key observation. The justice observed in this case, and the justice deserved, were on two different levels. May the Salmon Dinner forever Rest In Peace.

Dr. Grande I agree that Nancy Motes deserved longer in jail.

I just read about this case in Texas Monthly. One of the educators involved referred to parents like Nancy Motes as lawnmower parents, a step or two beyond helicopter parents. If you get in the way of what these parents want, they will mow you down. I was also shocked that Nancy's sentence was so light, given that she used a gun and kneeled on the girl's chest to stop her breathing. The reason that the young lady was able to get out of the storage area was because of her conditioning and training as a Kilgore Rangerette. She had to scale several tall fences to escape the space. Nancy was probably also outraged that this girl was a Rangerette, and that Kylie most likely would never be. What a strange and scary woman.

What was that movie with a young Jake Gyllenhaal and the song "Mad World"? Hey, didn't his movie little sister belong to an eyebrow-raising dance team? And Jake's character took a lot of psych meds and kept waking up in sodden golf courses, while receiving instructions from an imaginary, grotesque rabbit who informed him about neighborhood predators, causing him at one point to flood his movie high school? The "wet high school" bit showed up again in the TV series "Glee." Remember when the kids did "Singin' in the Rain"? That school auditorium stage was drenched with water. Okay, that was NOT believable (stage rot - sagging boards come up, holes develop in the wood, dancers fall through & suffer terminal injuries to their torsos, later excavation finds gruesome charred skeletons and tragic propmaster suicide) - but - ho-hum, it was TV, and great rendition of the song and dance.

Thanks as always for the valuable information Dr. Grande , I’m headed out now to get my “ stocker emergency kit!” 😂 to think I’ve been driving around all this time with just the basic emergency car kit is frightening!! You’re truly a lifesaver! Congratulations again on the one million subs!! 🎉

Wig - check. Firearm - check. Duct tape - check. Oversized snowman Christmas card - check. Let’s roll.

stalker.

[@LDiamondz]

lol. Thanks for all the laughs I got from this one, Dr.Grande! You've taken your comedy act to a whole new level with this one! 🤣 When I wasn't laughing, I was astonished. So much strange and odd behavior, it almost sounds made up! 🤯 That woman is a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic basket!!! 🧺

LD - How much does Texas have to do with this mind set? Participation in sports is the holy grail! Parents push their kids hard to excell! Living vicariously causes mental problems and the feeling of helplessness can cause over reactions! My kid must win!

[@LDiamondz]

@@bthomson I know a lot of parents who are way too involved with their kid's sports. Complaining they don't get enough play time, the coach is biased, screaming horrible things at the opposing team members, who are just kids, themselves. I've never heard of anything like this level of 'involvement.' I'd like to think it's just this woman, and nothing to do with Texas. They DO seem to be obsessed with their kid's achievements, though. This behavior only hurts the child, in the end, though.

[@Gr8Gasping]

Oh my gosh! What a story. It is so strange, to me, how many people can not seem to accept any firm of rejection in their lives. Our societies' 'love me or die' attitude seems to be growing.

[@loretta5432]

Perfect timing Dr. Grande!! Always dependable for a great video!!

[@ThePrufessa]

Dr. Grande takes deadpan humor to a whole new level.

[@AmandaDoyle]

Some of the best comedy to date, Doc. Came for the true crime, staying for the humour! 😆💁🏻‍♀️

[@TaborEaton]

The Question on everyone's mind made me choke on my Thai food. Thanks Dr. Grande. Congrats on 1mil.

[@user-ic9qm8mb4t]

I can't decide if this whole episode was horrible or hysterical. But I definitely agree Dr, Grande, this woman needed 20 years at least.

[@brostelio]

The doctor is in particularly great form today! Looking forward to an update on the husband's salmon dinner.

I think this case exemplifies the destructive outcome of boundary violation. Sometimes in close relationships such as romantic and parent/child relationships the boundary lines tend to get a little blurry. Appropriate barriers in close relationships are just as important as the ones we keep with a distant acquaintance or a boss for example, it allows independence and space for growth and learning. I am all for parental involvement, support and supervision, however involvement in anyone’s romantic relationship, even one’s own child, is off limits to me. Setting limits may not be easy when you are very close to someone but I think that’s one of the ways to keep a relationship healthy and strong. That was a thought- provoking analysis, thank you Dr. Grande.❤️

[@dianelipartito6654]

This was bad boundaries on steroids.

[@gloriaelmore9092]

Thank you so much for the "stalking kit" comments! It was a great laugh. I appreciate the humor. It felt good to laugh! The snowman disguise, hilarious. 😄 I lived one town away from Kilgore, I pictured it all! Hahaha!

[@rzarco01]

There are people on TV that call themselves comedians, people who put so much effort into trying to amuse their audiences or make them laugh. These Dr. Grande videos are bite sized stories that, in my opinion, are engrossing and unfailingly amusing. I have involuntarily exhaled more than one beverage through my nose in response to Dr. Grande's dry, deadpan sense of humor.

[@KoolT]

I feel so much better about my mental health after watching these things. Omg. I'm so same. How do people get this CRAZY.

[@gailrichardson8534]

Love your tongue-in-cheek comments about the salmon dinner. Your straight-faced dry remarks really gave me a good laugh.

[@Elmachuca]

Was just about to post the Texas Monthly story for people but see you posted in your ref list. Thanks Dr. Grande.

[@susansandler8429]

1. Truth is certainly stranger than fiction. 2. I’ll never look at salmon the same way again. 3. My deepest condolences to this whacko’s daughter. Recommend she move to an undisclosed location and change her identity.

[@shethingsd]

Dr. Grande is ON in this one. Stalker emergency kit, super size snowman greeting card, cold salmon dinner.

[@whisperingpoet4352]

Love your witty sarcastic comments. Great comedic timing.

[@Jo-Anne.Clarke]

I so enjoy your videos: Each one is concurrently interesting, educational and entertaining . You are a master of dry humour: The pressing question of Kyle’s dinner LOL: I did not see that one coming at all!! I burst out loud with laughter. Tks so much. I appreciate the belly-laughs.

[@annissagraves3076]

You are so delightfully dry and twisty, Dr. Grande!!

[@shanesullivan460]

In April of 2019, Nancy changed her story. She now admitted to having worn a wig.

[@ImSquiggs]

Always gonna show up in the comments to support a sick Wilson from Home Improvement reference, and to tell my pointless story about how I saw his face once. It's an episode where Tim is fixing up a real nice sports car, I think it was blue, and they were both in Tim's garage. Wilson was doing that thing where he walked in front of random objects to hide his face, but there were a few frames where you could see it in the rear-view mirror. I saw that growing up and it BLEW MY FLIPPIN TINY CHILD MIND and I still bring it up whenever I see Wilson. Never could track down that scene again, but I do plan on rewatching all of Home Improvement one day just to find it.
