You know, for someone who wanted to be the most famous serial killer there was, I’m glad most people don’t know about him.

Yeah my wife is all into true crime and has never heard of him

[@IncredibleWerekitty]

That's because Knowles isn't a serial killer. He's a spree killer. The only thing a serial killer and a spree killer have in common are the multiple victims. Serial killers have the patterns, signatures, and cooling-off periods. Spree killers just don't. Spree killers kill people in a relatively short time (compared to serial killers) with no rhyme and reason. Their goal is just to kill. So Knowles wouldn't be known as a serial killer.

[@1truek269]

Facts!

[@user39482]

@IncredibleWerekitty That's not the reason he's not known, this is all just semantic bull shit. His notoriety is not dictated by whatever neat little technicality you try to file him under. At the end of the day, he was a killer who seeked a level of fame from his actions that was, rightfully, never given to him. Stop trying to sound like a fucking smart arse.

Thank you for saying we shouldn’t rate trauma, Simon. I think rating trauma is dangerous because even if trauma doesn’t affect one person a certain way, it doesn’t mean it won’t affect another person that way. And also the best thing to do when a trauma survivor talks to you is to just listen. RIP to the victims in this case and I hope their families are able to find peace and move forward and heal.

[@alderonchunks1279]

It's true people handle trauma differently..I love that you hoped the families could move on..my thoughts as well because closure sounds insulting

[@missjustice2730]

The other flip side of the coin is ... When you start rating trauma, the victims may feel like their experience is not "as bad, thus not as important or they feel that they will be judged because speaking out about their experiences seems trivial in comparison. as the experience of others. So they don't come forward. However the information is just relevant and has the possibility to reveal more or unknown information to the case and that opportunity being missed is a huge disadvantage. Also when it comes to seeking help for the trauma you endured. If Traumatic experiences ranked. It can cause peoples individual experiences to loose validity in comparison and people can start to feel that they are unworthy of help, that they are overreacting or their experiences are not even "that bad" because other people had it worse than them. All traumatic experiences are equally worth seeking help to process and work through if it is negatively affecting your life after. Everyone deserves acknowledgement that what they experienced was traumatic. That how they are feeling afterwards is valid and deserves to be heard, spoken of and steps to begin healing from.

[@ladygrndr9424]

He knew about the First Nation residential schools in Canada, but not that the problem was more widespread. Unfortunately, abuse, neglect and corruption has long been rife in private schools, orphanages, juvenile detention centers, etc, and is not a problem isolated to either a particular culture or targeted at a particular ethnicity. Children are vulnerable, and there are too many who exploit that vulnerability. Children are prone to testing boundaries and not being able to communicate or control their needs...and there are too many people who will punish any "disobedience" in the harshest manner possible. When a layer of dehumanization due to racism is added to that, it only gets worse.

[@ardenalexa94]

I agree. Rating trauma is always disturbing to me. Just because something isn’t traumatic to one person or they don’t consider it that way because they didn’t go through it, doesn’t mean it isn’t traumatic to another person.

[@ardenalexa94]

@@annetidwell4807 not everything is a trauma but many victims of trauma often experience others minimizing their trauma because some people still don’t understand trauma and the affect it can have or are just plain ignorant. So it’s best not to rate trauma, as that can make someone that experiences a trauma, if they feel it’s minimized, not come forward and/ or cope with that trauma. Society is still flawed in many ways for how it deals with trauma victims.

Love the respect you give the victims in these episodes and the clear empathy you feel when any brutality is brought up.

There are ~75 murders and the police and the public are divided on whether or not they are the work of a lone killer.

@SoManyRandomRamblings I don't disagree with your point, but I think you misunderstood mine. An abuser will make that threat regardless of any right or wrongdoing in the system. The child will only have the frame of reference their abuser is giving them through coercion and manipulation. They have been traumatised and scared out of seeking the help they so desperately need

Even if the system is improved - it's not like the child knows that. If parents threaten their children by saying that adoption or foster care is way worse, how many children do you think would start research to fact check if their parents' threats are actually correct?

Another great pod cast😊

So, I know what a fan of the paranormal you are Simon(😆). However, I feel this is the perfect time to mention the one episode of Zack Baggins show 'Ghost Adventures', where they visited a closed down children's home(here in the States), and not quite different from the Dozer School. While interviewing a former woman who worked there, she described the way they operated the place and actually had a look of fondness and even threw in a kind of smile when explaining how it was common place to simply shove kids down a full flight of stairs if they felt it necessary to get the kids to "cooperate". To quote you yourself: "The past was just the worst"

i go to college in macon and the amount of weird shit that goes down there is insane! we had a bunch of inmates escape recently

[@chadknowles869]

Loved the story man, if u ever want extra details dnt hesitate to resch out. A relative showed up for ur video

[@SniperkingSogeking04]

I know the point of this video is to highlight the cruelty and horror of PJK, but I saw the editor's note at 14:34 and I had to stop the video because I was laughing so hard XD

[@Nike-gs8ig]

The fact that Simon dreams about being pulled over for speeding...how often does this happen to you, neither me nor my family members have had that happen to them, how fast are you driving😅😂

[@boltybee]

The elderly woman who suffocated... this got to me. This has to be one of the worst ways to die. Slowly suffocating alone ,on the floor in the dark. What a monster

[@shadow·palette]

I love your channels, Simon! Keep it coming! I did want you to know, however, that the title above one of the two victims from Connecticut, Dawn Marie Wine, says she was the Cleveland Strangler. Maybe I noticed because I'm from Connecticut and we don't pop up too much in your videos. Ok, just wanted you to know in case you want to fix it.

11:10 "what the fuck is happening, America?" as an American I am just as shocked as you are 😭😭😭

[@jeffdroog]

It's weird for me to hear about parents that describe my parents perfectly,and yet I'm still not the subject of an episode.Profress! Break the cycle.Just because you were harmed,that doesn't mean you have to harm others in response.

[@HealingBlight]

When the subject of the podcast spent time in an institution that deserves it's own episode, you know it's grim. In fact that might be an idea, doing CC episodes on infamous places.

[@georgiemaw1439]

Ooo I’ve never been this early to a video, how exciting 😂

[@lindasimons691]

Interesting. Well told. Thank you.

"So what happens when you combine physically attractive traits, a burning desire to be famous and recognized and twisted moral codes" Dennis Reynolds is what you get. And that shit is hilarious because it's TV.

[@wavygravy63]

“You get a KZbinr” omg 😂😂😂😂

[@JordanHowellMusic]

What in the oh luck is this shit about…..this guy was just insane. I forget but I think you said he didn’t have a terribly abusive upbringing, maybe not the best, but. Yep some people just are psychopaths or serial murderers . This is awful, and you did a good job with everything about it. Thanks for your video again y’all!!!

[@khironkinney1667]

I thought you were talking about the E'lan facility in the state of Maine. It was in Poland Maine a few miles from where I grew up

[@Whispersintheshadows81]

Definitely never heard of him but I’m glad you did a video

[@lordMartiya]

Simon, a couple suggestions for future videos: the Monster of Florence, and the Monster of Rome.

[@namelia4439]

53 yo here, born and raised in the US and pretty well tuned in…never heard of that school or all the deaths and bodies. I am horrified. Not surprised it was Florida…still, I’m sickened, especially bc it wasn’t that long ago…seems like the kind of thing you might hear about happening in Victorian Britain…no offense, Simon…

[@lsd358]

This man was one messed-up puppy so to speak. Brilliant work has always Simon and the crew 👏.

[@katherinecollins4685]

Well presented

[@tyzilla358]

Thank you so much for that incredibly important and absolutely fascinating tangent at the beginning........what would we do without your excellence?............ Your editor needs to go back to using the tangent clock with funny music in the background.

[@SubXaeroZA]

"Handsome and Murdery" LOL 😅😅

[@popmateo1233]

Hey Simon, I recommend the book "The Nickel Boys" about the Doser school. It is a historical fiction about a young African boy and his experience there.

[@popmateo1233]

*Dozier

[@skuldsbane]

Only half listening until I heard "Dozier". Which would explain many, MANY things about the rest of the episode.

[@mariatorres9789]

I've never heard of this, & I live in FL. Doesn't surprise me though, this State is effed up.

[@honeyypainn]

I’m so happy that I stumbled onto this channel tonight because I am enthralled about horrible crimes committed and trying to learn the psychology behind it but also excited and laughing at macabre content and enjoying ✨dark humor✨- Not to forget that Simon is the most handsome with incredible wit to blurt out his opinions and laughing at him and he has the mind of stuff I fall asleep listening to at night. Also I am a little highh from some potent gummies and just needed this little break from reality 🫶🏼

Ah the memories 😊 graduation class of 2019 🎉🎉🎉
