I don't know Coffee House crime is really good with Adrian, disturbing, ape Honcho, monsters, Truth for reality, Mr Black pasta, dire trip, the crime Atlas, black girl lost, Mr Ballin, that dude Jack with the curly hair he's a really good Storyteller too. those are just a few of some really really good ones. Especially Truth for reality and Mr Black pasta. They make this channel look insignificant. Both of them really really care about the victims. Mike's is not bad the only thing that drives me nuts is he's got a bad habit of taking old cases from like a year ago deleting them reuploading them and making them seem like they're new. That shit drives me crazy cuz it makes me feel like I've lost my mind. It's happened like five or six times now. But other than that yeah he's all right. Before he started doing that I liked him a lot more. His humor is really good but like I said the other ones care a lot more about the victims Adrian from the coffee house crime he's also really caring when it comes to the victims in their stories.

So true. Most of just end up hating ourselves and making decisions that will mostly just hurt us.

Sadly God, the Bible and Christianity get a bad name when people do evil in His name. God is loving, patient and kind. Merciful. He tells those who follow Him and His word to be the same. Any evil that’s done does NOT come from Him. Evil has a source and unfortunately that source almost always never gets the blame. Devil. All sources of evil are his handy work.

Longtime fan here, (since sometime before 100k, at least). We’re very happy that your channel has been thriving, as we’ve witnessed you grow, you more than deserve your support and success. We’re also now elated for you that you’re at an exciting moment of evolving into… the future! We will be supporting you through it all. My boyfriend is not a true crime fan, because he just doesn’t like anything “dark.” He knew I watched Disturban, This Is Monsters, Slapped Ham, Coffee House Crime, EWU, JCS, Lazy Masquerade, Nuke’s Top 5, Deadbug says, Dire Trip, Missing Person Mysteries, Shrouded Hand, Kendall Rae, Mr. Ballen, and a few more. Most of which, my boyfriend won’t watch (well, he does like the paranormal stuff). However, years ago, my boyfriend stumbled upon That Chapter, and said to me, “Let’s watch something together, for once. How about this guy (aka Mike)? He looks like he might be cool.” Lo and behold, my boyfriend, who doesn’t even like true crime, not only discovered one of MY top 5 favorite YT channels, but he truly enjoyed your content based on several different factors, including your one of a kind sense of humor! That Chapter is the ONLY true crime channel my boyfriend will watch, and as for me, well, I’ve been hooked ever since he found you. Starting that first night, I began going through every upload. Excellent content, bar none, and still going strong! I know you probably won’t see this, and that’s okay. I just felt like sharing my “How we found your channel and loved it ever since” story, because we really do appreciate all of the hard work you, quite clearly, put in.

I think his upbringing had something to do with who he became as an individual. however I don't believe it's the only factor. There is plenty of debate on what creates a psychopath. Nature or nurture. Bundy, Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer. countless books argue what makes a serial killer. I'm thankful that whatever it is that makes an individual act on such atrocious impulses I was spared.

[@rolandm9750]

Thought the same! This guy def. seems like a serial killer in mindset. He took out his anger on Mennonites as did his brothers, but I doubt his bros had ideas on killing anyone. Just going to randomly kill someone on your own, driving like 7+ hrs away to do so, seems to be less of a hate crime and more of just a killer looking for a victim to kill. He probably would have killed again if not caught; mind have even killed before and not been caught.

You hit the nail on the head when you said there’s more to this story. I also think there was some deep rooted trauma that he endured as a child, possibly at the hands of a woman or his mother.

he may have been abused or maybe his psyche just magnified smaller things in his childhood , maybe he picked up ways of thinking from the culture that reinforced the perceived injury . i often wonder how we can kill a million iraqis and call each other heroes without any repercussions , add economic inequality, single shooter games, prestige tv ( sopranos)`a whole host of manichean cultural ideas. surprised it doesn't happen more often. not an excuse just saying america is weird
