I think there's often no actual way the person would be granted parole. Maybe they're granted the 'possibility' of parole, as part of getting them to plead guilty? Not sure. But people like this are never actually freed. I think maybe having the criminal admit what they did could be a boon to the family of the victim, so it's beneficial.

I mean the step father was obviously abusing the kid, so yeah punish the kid for the abuse he endured. Makes sense.🙄 Then again we all know that abusers are almost always victims themselves. Where is the accountability for those who have gotten lucky enough to avoid being a victim, yet seem to want to hold those who have "accountable" for their unavoidable experiences? This world is not fair and there is no such thing as accountability.

[@mac001texas]

@sarahalderman3126 at least the chain would've stopped there though. There is no need for "accountability" for people who haven't done anything bad. Your suggestion is insanely naive - just let all the crazy people do whatever they want because they have some unfortunate history? Can't change the past but we can protect the present and the future. Yea it sucks for them but we can't let the misfortune spread. Feeling sorry for someone doesn't justify doing nothing in the present to prevent other innocent people from being victimized. If your child or mother was killed by someone with antisocial personality disorder, you wouldn't be sitting here saying oh just let him go he's just a poor misfortunate fella.

[@sarahalderman3126]

@@mac001texas nah my dude, I just don't believe we should hold child abuse victims "accountable" for fighting back against the abuse. Which is EXACTLY what occurred here. He fought back, did what was right and necessary... what did the "adults"/authorities do in response? They generously allowed him to take responsibility for his "error" in fighting back against his abusers. This IS the problem, our society is set up in a way that protects the abusers, not the abused. This reality is what pushed him to this. Had they instead held the abuser accountable and helped the young man work through the trauma and suffering he endured and reinforced his right to protect himself, his psyche would have developed much different. Abuse creates abuse, because pain leads to more pain. As a victim of childhood sexual and physical abuse myself, I understand EXACTLY why and how this develops in those without the intellectual capacity to see "outside" themselves. People who have not experienced this kind of diabolical treatment as children do not understand the progression of this kind of thinking.

[@sk8razer]

This actually isn't that uncommon. Like, we always hear about how psychopaths/serial k*llers kill animals during childhood. But it's really not uncommon for psychopaths to have an affinity for dogs and to feel distressed by the idea of dogs being hurt or killed. Like that one woman who went on that spree in the UK specifically targeted two men with a dog for one of her m*rders because she wanted a dog... Like, just because she loved dogs. I was hoping he would talk about that, because it's something that kinda just gets ignored by the mental health field. It always makes me wonder about the development of psychopathology. Because the prevailing idea has long been that psychopaths are just born evil. But newer theories about the oppositional defiant disorder to conduct disorder to socio/psychopathy pipeline postulate that being born with a "difficult" temperament causes others to treat these kids in ways that are very cold, callous, and rejecting. Everyone is capable of behaving psychopathically towards anyone whom we've dehumanized in our minds (whether that be an ex or an entire demographic of people). So these kids are already born behind the curve in terms of prosocial traits, like empathy, then they have all of these important people, including their caregivers in many cases, behaving in cruel and vindictive ways towards them. So they're effectively conditioned to be more antisocial, because they're receiving all of this antisocial treatment from most or all of the people in their lives. They're also forming few, if any, loving and nurturing bonds with others. So it makes me wonder if psychopaths who love dogs _were_ able to form mutually warm and loving bonds with the family dog as kids. Like, because dogs are only going to be bothered by a very limited range of "difficult" human behaviors (mainly related to aggression). So they aren't going to be triggered to dislike a "difficult" kid as easily. And, of course, most dogs are masters of creating warm loving bonds with humans. It's also not uncommon for some psychopaths to genuinely love one or two people whom they were able to connect with during childhood. So I guess that's kinda the same logic.

Can’t believe he still got the possibility of parole in the first trial. Just wondering what in his history made the judge feel he had a potential to be safe to release in society.

In many cases it's an issue of state/local/federal law, not the personal discretion of the judge. In other cases, "possibility of parole" is nowhere close to "snowball's chance in Hell of parole". A lot of these laws--not all of them, but a lot--exist so people who could *potentially* be rehabilitated aren't permanently denied any opportunity to change.

Intuition is your friend.

[@thelogicaldanger]

The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker takes a secular approach to intuition. Basically he points out how people unconsciously pick up danger signals and while they don't consciously recognize them as danger, they get that feeling/intuition that something is wrong and they need to run/fight/whatever. The book gives many examples, for example a woman who had been kidnapped/assaulted and was being held in an apartment. The perpetrator left the room to get a weapon to kill her, but he told her not to worry that he wasn't going to kill her. Her unconsciousness picked up that he hadn't said this previously, why would he say this now....consciously, she suddenly had an intuition that she needed to run. And run she did and survived. Afterward, she said she had no idea where the feeling to run came from, its only listening to her description of what happened (and knowing the would be killer's story) that the "clues" that she unconsciously picked up lead to an understanding of her sudden desire to run. Incidentally, I do believe in God, and the supernatural....but I think God most often works through natural means. Such as our unconscious picking up on clues.

As an autistic man, I have to be aware that sometimes I look at people a bit long. It's only out of fascination, not predatory. It never used to be a problem. Only now that all these crime channels are "analysing a case like this." 😂 Seriously, life has become more complicated for all of us. We want to know, but then we know. Or think we do. I'll leave it to the experts.

@@hahaha9076 Staring is OK but not if you are creepy too though?

@lorenzbroll0101 What is ok for one may be creepy to another. It doesn't make someone predatory. Many women are diagnosed, autistic and look with an expressionless face. My daughter is on the spectrum also. She has a tough time because bitches be bitchen when you're different. Social media helps us, judge or understand others. I understand. Which is why I come here. Having said all that. The world has a lot of wonderful people but has some very dangerous ones too. Stay safe, carry a force multiplier alone on a trail.

Fun fact The Cherokee Indians called it Blood Mountain because there was a great indian war between 2 tribes on the mountain. So many lives were lost that blood was in the rivers and streams coming from the mountain.
