[@yvettedesmarais8107]

It’s remarkable that someone could think they’d get away with so many murders in order to avoid debts.

[@cw4608]

It is remarkable that an intelligent and moral person could even consider gambling, theft, and murder. Apparently he had none of these qualities.

[@peggyjaeger9280]

It worked

[@katherinethegreat]

Not so much; one must recall this entitled, psychopathic douchecanoe was already off the hook for 3 murders,thanks to Daddums ( b4 he died &Matteo began preying upon his sibs).

[@jackie0604oxon]

It's unthinkable that anyone could kill their family due to gambling debts, what an evil hold that kind of debt must have over people.

[@charlotteinnocent8752]

I think he was simply a complete narcissist who cared only about himself and no one else. It went unnoticed so long as his life was good, but the moment he had troubles....

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

The gambling was the symptom, not the cause. He was obviously a seriously disturbed individual who cared nothing for his family or others and seriously believed he could just kill people and walk away unscathed.

[@terriehumphries6028]

This guy should not have gotten out, no matter how good he was.

[@serenitynow288]

I agree.

[@luciebrisson5881]

How this monster, who killed so many of his kin, including a child, in hopes of an inheritance to pay off his debts, could be let out early for good behaviour is beyond understanding. Thank you Brief Case. A sad and horrifying but riveting story.

[@Screddy_Henks]

@melissabradley4499 doesn't it just! I have Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia and live in a subtropical climate. Heat and humidity are the big triggers and now also a neurological disorder. I mean, I don't want to brag, but some of us get all of the fun! Seriously though, channels like this and other stuff I'm interested in, has really had a massive impact for the positive. When it comes down to it, our attitude is the only thing we can control, I say, on a good day. I grateful for this cool little community here. A good bunch of grapes here lol.

[@melissabradley4499]

@@Screddy_Henks I understand I had stage 4 C.L.P..D. at age 12 in 1988 and only had my hip replaced just last year after 33 years of begging to be out of pain.

Holy crap! This dude was going around killing damn near everyone!

[@jenniferbailey1580]

16:04 yeah, this is the first time I ever remember “and this relative was in a mental institution” (or similar) and went “and I am quite happy you were. At least for a certain day. Beats being shot, tossed in a well, and then shot”. (A couple murderers over the years where being committed was the best option, but for standard neurodivergent, depressed, anxious or “hears God but hasn’t harmed anyone in obeying” types the places not as helpful as they wanted to think)

[@FinnishLapphund]

At first I thought if it hadn't been for the desperation caused by gambling madness, he wouldn't have done it. But at second thought, I'm thinking that he maybe just would've found another way to live beyond his means, if it hadn't been for gambling. Perhaps he would've hosted too lavish parties to try to impress on others, built himself a palace... And still have ended up in the situation were he thought killing some persons to try to inherit them would be able to solve his money problems.

Gambling seems to be the road to ruin for this man. What a terrible story. He seemed to be such an admirable man in his community, but hanging out with the boys at the club was a mistake. His turn-around in prison shows that he was basically a good man, but gambling had turned him into a monster.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

You Must be joking! Gambling does not turn ´good men´ into serial killers! he was psycho, and if it hadn´t been gambling that flipped the switch to overload, it would have ben something else.
