[@raphaellavictoria01]

6:00 "we have to ask ourselves why", why did growing up in a normal family do nothing to prevent his murderous impulses? But it's obvious: psychopaths are born, not raised. Granny passed on her murderous predisposition, not through upbringing but through inheritance. It's unbelievable that the commentator guy twists this into saying it became an "intergenerational message that women are very dangerous." OMG. Even if it were so, why didn't his father become a murderer, then? He was way closer tot he "message". BS, people, BS. Psychopaths are born, some of them will develop sadistic sexual desires and a lust for power and will become serial murderers; those who don't, become CEOs instead :D

[@freespiritable]

Thought the same. These journalists making these shows are misogynists most of the time.

[@Lisa-hc3uq]

Inherited, raised etc. Narcissists are created by the environment they grew up in. If he has narcissist traits he could've been created by the environment he grew up in as well. Depends upon his upbringing. Early on in life, narcs manipulate to get what they want. As they grow older, those manipulative tactics get more deliberate and targeted, all while their anger and frustration inside grows. By adulthood, they are masters at manipulating and controlling others. Along with those traits, they grow more angry, resentful and frustrated..but you hardly see that side of them. As for murdering innocent people, their playground is vunerable people, never anyone who is healthy and strong, with a good head on their shoulders that would stand up to them. Vunerable people are easy targets. Narcs are lazy and anyone they sense that has a head on their shoulders isn't a good target for them. They steer clear away from those kinds of people. It's too much of a challenge to manipulate someone who could be on to their odd behavior so they don't bother. Narcs never prey on healthy minded people. Narcs go through life studying others behaviors..They're known to be quiet, shy and not aggressive, but while they appear to be shy and quiet, they are that way because they are studying people. They're known to copy manurisms and actual content of conversations. They know they are different and have to study people to learn how to communicate and get by on life. There's so much more to narcissism than what most believe is someone over the top loving themselves..that's actually the opposite of covert narcissists which are considered stealth because they are most dangerous..They cause not only psychological damage to their targets in relationships but have the tendency to actually kill, silence a person who is a threat to them without a care in the world. They are true wolves in sheep's clothing.

I live in Washington State, and Spokane always amazes me when it's discussed nationally. It is actually a fair sized city, but few people know about it. I feel bad for people trying to put together a video because there are no iconic Spokane shots to be used in a video. There is a clock tower in a park downtown, and there is the skyline, but otherwise, it's just a whole bunch of shots of railroad underpasses and extremely undistinguished streets. Spokane is pronounced Spoke-Anne, by the way. People who live in this part of the world often refer to it as SpoCompton. It has some of the poorest neighborhoods on the West Coast, and there are areas where it's kind of scary to be out at night. There's a beautiful walking path beside the river, where unfortunately people are often beaten or violated. When I lived in Spokane and was doing a residency, there was a horrifying incident in which a woman on meth tried to lead her four children across a four-lane street that had a concrete median in the center. All of her children were killed. In Spokane, that's just how life goes. On the other hand, there are some really beautiful parks and a lot of good people and the cost of living is phenomenally lower than Seattle. I just didn't like my years in Spokane, obviously.

OMGod, what a story. When I lived there, it was pretty much a big Cow-Town USA - mostly about farming, and processing beef. It was a trading post for fur trappings, and hookers, when it began - that's it main energy - and the hookers hung out in a certain part of town. I hated Spokane - the energy was dense. It was all about trucks, drinking all the time, and I could not find any friends at all. I lived there for 3 yrs, then moved on up to Seattle and began the time of my life. (I would never go there now!) It wasn't so crazy - my time was 1984-86. ALL of USA used to be relatively good, (compared to now), until the chemicals came flowing into the streets and there was money to bad, and corrupt officials on the take. This is how you destroy everything, corruption - no one understands - it's not what the corrupt puppets point and say is WRONG (they always CREATE it - in a sinister way)it's ALL due to the corruption. You have BAD at the top in any hierarchy EVERYTHING will reflect it - and if people are so dumbed down, they can't discern it, they will lose their free will and potential of life. That's just how it goes. I loved Seattle until the chemicals were FLOWED into the streets and people. It was heaven on Earth and now is a complete nightmare. And every one just pretends and not see the million homeless in the streets and tranny twerkers reading to gradeschoolers. Now you must understand why Spokane is so bad....it never used to be. It was just dense, dense energy.

Washington State, once you cross the mountains just outside of Seattle....is mostly desert. When you have mountains just after a coastline, you get a rain shadow. So, Seattle get about 37" of rain a year, while Spokane get an average of 17" annually. Seattle doesn't get snow.....Spokane gets snow and often ice storms. Spokane is 280 miles east of Seattle.....to put that on context: Death Valley is just about 270 miles from the California coast (Bay Area). Washington State....not as rainy as people think.

The statement : "he didn't look like a serial killer"(or a monster) was coined after the image that the movies industry gave to us for generations. Mostly nobody does looks that way, although there are some unkept creepy looking people that give us the chills. The reality is that most murderers,rapist,child killers and pedos look as unconspicuous as any of us.Unless they are caught in the act there's no real way to recognize them as such. Serial killers must be doing something in particular to look as "normal" as anyone else, otherwise they would'n be hat prolific in their crimes. A creepy looking character is always watched and often falls victim of being wrongly accused. This particular monster didn't look that bad at all, even when he was younger he could have been easily considered good looking. Although I'm personally against capital punishment, I have to agree that this creature was the poster boy for that penalty. It is my hope that he dies in prison. Greetings from Toronto.

[@veggigoddess]

I've watched probably 10,000 of these types of crime videos, and I'm so tired of them bringing up how the person didn't look like a murderer or rapist or a serial killer and they had a normal life and they were well respected or went under the radar. Yes, because that's what they are! That's why they can do what they do for such a long time! So it doesn't need to be pointed out that they didn't look like such and such where they didn't have the life of blah blah blah

Really?

[@biged4476]

Lmao

[@cecelia1350]

No he wasn’t, the guidelines were for non-violent offenders and those at the end of their sentence. Having a sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole Yates wouldn’t have been considered for release.

[@richardcranium3579]

@@cecelia1350 check out Kenneth McDuff. It happens, oh it definitely happens. Old Kenneth was a triple murderer on death row, got released because they didn’t want to hurt his feelings or esteem. Read up on how he spent his 2nd bite at the victim apple….the insane ones that released him should have had to sit in the death chamber with him. Maniacs.

So I lived in Spokane from aged 10 till nearly 14 and I was thought to be way older than I was . I was a beautiful girl .. I'm so glad that we lived out in the valley and still though I got a bad vibe walking to and from junior high .. back then but felt safe enough in Utah to hitchhike regularly when my parents divorced abd we moved to Utah my mother abd I anyway yes Washington had some doosies for serial killers
