@@bethstaley467 Okay can someone tell me this? What if Daniel Marsh never confessed, even after the phone call that was called in by his friend, who pointed at Daniel Marsh. What if Daniel Marsh said, he liked to get the attention and be an edgy teenager, and make up stories that if he hears about any murders in news, he would claim that he did it by appearing edgy and gaining attention. At that point, how would they have proceeded as I understand he never left any evidence. How would they pin him because the friends didnt actually see the murder. They only reported because of what Daniel Marsh told them and claimed its him, but if he had said he lied to his friends for attention?

[@barnyfraggles]

As soon as someone tortures a pet or you even hear about it, get them on the radar with a cruelty charge. Even if it's an anonymous tip, even if it goes nowhere and it only means the police are aware of them. It's the worst sign that someone has escalating psychopathy that is not going to end well.

I treated a 7yo boy over 20+ years ago whose life took a similar trajectory to this kid. He lived on a farm that had dozens of cats running around. He'd leave the heavy front door ajar, snap open a can of cat food, and as they walked through the door, he'd slam it shut and snap their neck/spine. After not to long they had no cats left and the father found a 55 gallon drum full of decomping cats.

They all brag in some way and that's usually what does them in. Be it on social media, to family, to friends, blogs, diaries, even to the police themselves. They all have the bragging as a common factor because of how their brain works. If he wasn't a psychopath yet still did this it would be scarier because he probably wouldn't have bragged, thus making it much more difficult to catch him because a normal person would know bragging is the wrong thing to do if you intend to not get caught. Also if he wasn't a psychopath, he probably wouldn't have done it again but in this case he attempted to intimidate people by breaking into his exs house which is what started the chain reaction of him getting caught.

[@KitsuneJager]

This one hits me a little personally. Parents divorced when I was young also, mom went to live with her girlfriend. Dad was a homicide investigator, and I wanted to be like him one day. Learned a lot about how crime scene investigation worked. Mom got t-boned by a drunk driver, got prescribed oxycontin when it was still new. Her girlfriend manipulated that, also did heroin. It eventually got to the point where I felt the only way I could protect my mother was to kill this person. Planned the whole fucking thing. 3 days before I was going to do it, mom overdosed. She moved away to rehab and live with her mother for a while, and I was free of it all. I'm so happy now I didn't ruin my life. I have a 3 year old daughter I would die for and I'd never have known such joy if I'd thrown it all away. Fortunately my only mental illnesses are ADHD and depression. Definitely not a psychopath. Was just an emotional kid who didn't see a way out.

[@aintgonnatolerateit2314]

Yeah my mom was a really severe alcoholic and she beat me, my siblings had already moved out at this point and I was by myself.

@@CoExist64 i really appreciate that. Mom and I will probably always have somewhat of a tenuous relationship but she's come a long way. I've learned that continuing to remain upset about some of my mother's let's say "less than desirable" aspects of her personality and things in the past I'm just causing myself pain that simply can't be fixed because a lot of it stems from me wanting someone of my mom that she just won't ever be. Same can be said for my dad but we've always been closer than my mom and I. All I can do is push forward. Unfortunately I'm living in a car at the moment because of a divorce I didn't see coming, but for my little girl's sake I'm not leaving this plane of existence yet.

Imagine what he may have done if he’d been off the medication… his dopamine spikes would have been 2-10x the amount they would be under antidepressants. He would have undoubtedly gone on to kill again, and very soon. Statistically, that’s how those kinds of dopamine spikes perpetuate. Not trying to @ you.

One of the traits of antisocial personality disorder is difficulty in consistently seeing the future consequences of present actions.

He is a 100% psychopath who fucked up by telling his friends and HE KNOWS THAT. Luckily he didn't start killing later when he would've been a little smarter enough to cover that base as well.

the councilor called the police and the therapist about his homicidal urges but nothing happened. then the friends get blamed for not calling the police sooner when he actually did it. the police are generally incompetent at such things because they are not obligated to protect people.

[@SAOS451316]

@@ipeeinpublicpools543 probably, with this person. psych wards are absolutely not a good solution though. from experience i can confirm they're horribly abusive and usually don't help. for example when i was there there was another patient who only spoke spanish. none of the staff knew any spanish and there wasn't so much as a spanish dictionary around. the staff made fun of the poor guy and only gave him aspirin instead of whatever meds he was supposed to have. how is that going to help him? with this kid there is something wrong with him but we really don't know how to treat it because of minimal research. it doesn't help that such people are manipulative and will weasel out of actually cooperating. he's certainly not getting the help he needs in prison though so he should probably be in a high-security psychiatric hospital for his own good and others' safety. there's some brain injury, chemical deficiency, developmental disorder, and/or mental illness that causes whatever he has. i feel bad for him because he lives in a time without people who give a damn enough to help and he is going to be imprisoned for the rest of his life. he should be out experiencing life and his neighbors should be living out their golden years.

@@ipeeinpublicpools543 it really matters what kind of therapist you see and what method they use. It wasn't until I finally found and read "DBT Skills and Training Manual: Second Edition" by Marsha Linehan that I started understanding things much better. But then I wondered why I want taught this stuff at a much younger age. Why none of my therapists told me this stuff. But Texas is behind the times and at the time I read it there wasn't anyone listed in my city that was using DBT, there is now, years later.

Not crazy at all it's totally rational to not lock anyone up or take them seriously when they say such things. Happens more than you'd think and in 99.9% of times it's total fantasy.

Hopefully he never gets released on parole, and the fact that TedTalk gave him an opportunity to speak is disgusting, after what he did. And him saying "there are no evil people" is pure BS, especially since he is one of them and now trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. Anyhow, thanks for the video... never heard of this one before.

[@girlwhomustnotbenamed4139]

Nah, he is right about that. Evil is a juvenile buzzword and it doesn't exist. Severely damaged people, however, do often do horrific things - just like he did. Doesn't in the slightest mean that he shouldn't be locked up for the rest of his life. If anything, we have a much better understanding why and how a criminal is beyond rehabilitation than if we just make up some voodoo shit reason why they commit the crimes they do. That only ensures nothing is ever going to be done about it because you already have your "answer" that they are just somehow, randomly evil. Yeah, that's not a thing.

[@HeyIwasaValedictorian]

Technically, psychopathy is a mental illness & those who 'suffer' have no choice. He DID say in the cop interview that he wished it were different (wanting to kill, having no sym/empathy etc). He is held responsible for his actions, but he cannot be held accountable for the mental illness. He had no choice in that. All is not lost tho; psychopaths are usu highly intelligent & can be 'trained' to NOT murder, but instead become Dr's, politicians, scientists, etc. (Imagine that, a manipulative psycho being manipulated & groomed lolol). They're intelligent enuff to see that religion & motivational speaking pay more bills than murdering harmless senior citizens. There's actual hope for the guy! Heh heh, I mean, sorta...

I hate hearing rude, caddy 911 operators. Answer every call with the kindness you'd show to someone in the last moments or worst moment of their life until you know for sure it isn't. I get asking location or standard questions first in order to dispatch help quickly or having to tell them to calm down, but tone is everything. And I get being tired a bogus calls, but it's more important to be kind to suffering so just err on that side in my opinion.

[@lisahinton9682]

@Paula Birch Billingsley I so agree. I was told once, by a 911 operator, "That probably would've already happened if it was gonna happen," when I called at 2:50 AM when I had been woken from a deep sleep by banging on my front door, and someone asking me to let them in. The operator asked me to open my door and see if I could see if I knew the person, and I said, "I am not expecting anyone at almost 3 AM, all my lights are off, I live in a not-so-great area, and I am afraid to open my door as I could be met by the blast of a bullet!" Really, she told me that would've probably already happened if it were going to happen, and acted all snarky when I would not check who it was. (It seemed to be a man trying to sound like a woman in distress, and like hell I was going to open that door. She made such a bad impression on me that I called the next morning to complain. I hope she got retraining, cuz there are too many snarky, rude, bored-with-their-job 911 operators out there.)

I can't fathom the number of lives saved by his peers (finally) speaking out. This young man could have ended up being one for the history books. He could have grown old with too many lives to count before being caught, or never been caught. Evil has no age, no remorse, no heart. Despite his being able to easily recognize he felt NOTHING but joy in his unimaginable act, his only comment was he wishes he wasn't that way, but was what he is. Too bad, so sad. His punishment should be made to dig graves by hand, attached to a 100 lb ball and chain for every murdered victim within Ca. until he's worked to death after digging his own. Maybe the number of murdered lives would end up meaning something to him.
