James was more than willing to show me court documents of all his court cases and prison time. As for his other claims, I’m certain his family would tell a different story. James passed away in his tent in December 2019 from complications from a stabbing. I spoke with James five times and each talk got deeper and more disturbing. I can’t possibly upload the last two because I think I’d lose my channel. RIP One month later... I didn’t realize anyone else found James as interesting as I did. I’ve uploaded a second video of James to the Soft White Underbelly subscription channel. I remember when I was sitting with James on these long talks that went into the night, that no one will ever want to hear this, but apparently I was wrong.

As much as I agree with the comments that this was a troubled, nasty human being, these conversations are absolutely necessary. We cannot confront these problems without attempting to understand the mechanisms that make someone like that. It is impossible to build something without understanding how the parts go together. By no means am I downplaying his monstrous acts, I just ask that everyone try to understand on some level why people are like this, how it happens, how society reacts to these actions, and things we can do to prevent these types of things in an ethical way. You'd be hardpressed to find many cases where someone was simply born a rapist, pedophile, etc. It's a vicious cycle that has claimed many as a victim and then they many times end up being the perpetrator. This doesn't mean they don't deserve to be in jail, but their problems need to be understood is all, so that they can be addressed.

[@loverice8259]

No one can be born a rapist or pedophile. He is sick. I dont care what happen to him

[@idylledoll]

Yes, I agree. People really undermine how ones environment has such a huge impact on ones development. It’s more common to follow what you were subjected to than not. While there are people who don’t continue the cycle, I find that ones background can explain a lot when they do. Of course there is no justification for harming others but humans are often a product of their environment. How can you have a healthy relationship to sex or women when your own mother was raping you from an early age. Super fucked up.

[@prorok21]

I totally agree. It's so easy to place a sticker on a person and ignore the actual image and roots of why he did what he did. Everybody is a human in the end, the more we can understand about ourselves the better we become at mitigating our flaws. For now we can't fix people like him, nor his victims.

My sister and I were raised in a family of abuse and sexual abuse. My grandpa (a convicted rapist/molester) raped little girls the first victim was own daughter. He kept trophies. One of which was one of my cloth diapers he kept till his 70s. So as the rape and incest trickles down in families my sister was the one who continued the path. I was her victim. She used to say things like “if you weren’t my sister I’d marry you” etc. once I hit an age to know this was wrong I never spoke to them again. My grandpa died in prison and my sister is somewhere on the streets doing drugs. I’m waiting to come across her in one of these videos if she lives that long. No one believes us though the court documents are evidence enough. Rape is a cycle. Abused people abuse others.

Autumn Marie Damn, Ms. Autumn, I so wish that was true. But I’ve worked with more than a few who were sexually abused and exploited by Mommy-Dearest from their earliest memories. I wish that was rare. It’s not. As they get older the shame is so overwhelming they retreat to booze and drugs because who are you gonna share this with? They ended up in my office because they were mandated and yeah, ya gotta work like hell on the relationship. But when they finally trust you, you have done what what it takes to connect with them as human beings, to do to deal with their hostility and shame, what comes out after is a child, broken by Mommy-Dearest. Does that make their crimes OK? OHHELLNO. “I don’t deserve to live” etc. they tell you. Most of mine were high risk suicide and some completed. Men are less likely than women to play out the typical scenario of “leading to a suicide” and more likely to complete due to no prior notice/behavior and the lethality of their methods-hanging, shooting, intentional OD. Help is available and ya can’t just take their drugs away all at once. A bit at a time and replace them with psychotropic meds a little at a time. Will they ever be OK or “safe?” No. Hell No. And they are the first to tell you that. And *yes, they are violent.* Much of the time they aren’t even living in the here and now-the reality you and I live. They are so far removed from and dissociated from the here and now they are in something like a Dream State where their behavior doesn’t seem or feel real. They know they don’t belong and they know they are alone and words fail to explain.... *And nothing excuses, mitigates or makes their behavior less than horrific.*

As a recent viewer of Soft White Underbelly interviews, I am getting a sense what the channel is about. It is about hearing and acknowledging humanity, despite how ugly that can get.

Everyone, regardless of their past (good or bad) or their deeds (good or bad) have a story that is worth hearing. Though my past is nothing resembling James' past, I know what it is like to be hurt; I also know what it is like to hurt others. I would not want to be discarded by society.

Sending love and hoping for your peace and healing 🤍 Your responsibility not to inflict trauma amongst others is ultimately a choice that we all applaud and respect you for choosing. As an outsider who doesn’t ultimately know you or fully understand what you’ve been through, I can think of many reasons “why” you should heal and not repeat a pattern of trauma. One reason that sticks out to me is that repeating the pattern of trauma does not change what happened. And nothing can change or alter what happened, but also the trauma does not have to overwhelm all of the positive and beautiful things that can happen for and to you moving forward. Hopefully life and the world can repay you in kind by showing you beauty, peace, happiness, and healing which won’t take away what happened but also won’t be overshadowed by what happened. Hopefully the dark and the light can exist together and by living in the present you can experience them both for what they actually are and for what you can learn from them. I don’t have the answers at the end of the day, but I hope you can experience the kindness of people and see through experience that you’re never truly alone ever in this world. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤗🤗🤗

This is as morbid as it is interesting. You can see this man is very much a product of his environment while also seeing he's beyond redemption. Been watching this channel on and off since my mental health rotation for nursing school. This work is extremely valuable, the insights given and lessons that can be taken are important.

[@cezarab5236]

I agree. I have a degree in education and I am aware how his upbringing played a huge role in what he's done. I agree that it is an attenuating circumstance in his case and we must acknowledge the huge role that the trauma, the conditioning he's been exposed to has played in what he's done. But I also have a master's degree in probation and know that he is dangerous. There's a huge difference between acknowledging your circumstances, acknowledging your trauma and using it as an excuse for not feeling remorse. He didn't once express remorse for what he did - not for the SA, not for the killing. He has no support system, nobody to hold him accountable, nothung to lose and he said he does what he wants and nobody can stop him. That's a very dangerous individual.

I was abused, by my mother, then i was s^xually assaulted, and m0lested by 3 different boys (i was 6 the first time). The first one did it for a year, until i finally told someone, another was a few timea on a school bus, and the last was later at 12 in a group home. My girl cousin also got on top of me when i was 9 or 10, and i woke up to her using me as a "Toy" for herself, she was about 10 or 11. The abuse from my mother started at 8 until i was 17. Punched kicked, beaten, chased, hit with a belt up my back, the back of my legs. I had bruises most days, and got called out of school, so my mom wouldnt get caught.

I am a child sexual abuse survivor. 3 years old, a family member. Extreme childhood trauma changes your brain. This is how sociopaths are made. You can't feel bad for the boy he once was but hate the man now because, that little boy is still in there, frozen in time, reliving the abuse over and over. That's what complex PTSD does to you. It creates "parts" of you that are frozen in time. They never grow up. They never heal and they never go away. Unless you find an extremely good trauma therapist and work for years to help manage the trauma.

I was abused as a young boy. But growing up hearing that abuse victims almost always become abusers is EXACTLY the reason I'm a 46 year old man who has no children. I certainly don't have any desire to impose such trauma on another human being or anything. Nothing like that, the way I see it is that you're supposed to protect your children 1000% at all times and there is nothing more sacred. Then it's my duty time my unborn children to protect them from the trauma that happened to me. And statistics show that over a lifetime, I somehow probably would. So that will NEVER happen. I love children, their ability to forgive is profound. I told everyone since I was 12 that I'd never have kids just not why and EVERYONE said "it's just a phase." Nope, ask my wife of 13 years, if there's ANYTHING I can do in this world, it's to commit to something. Nobody has any loyalty anymore.
