Top 3 photos with DISTURBING backstories | Part 3 | REACTION

[@deborahvernarelli6394]

On the first story, I, too remember this criminal..forensics has come such a long way since that time period..I still think if you are caught and guilty of these heinous crimes, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you should be put to death immediately ..not sit forlife in prison getting 3 meals a day..just my opinion..thank you Jamel.

[@anitamariaa]

I've seen all of Mr Ballen's videos and heard all his podcast but I love watching them again, it's like watching with a friend. Keep up the good work Jamel, we appreciate you! ❤🙂

That’s what I was going to say. Thank You.

I mean, DeAngelo was a cop, so attending the town meeting wouldn't have seemed weird. In fact, it would maybe seem weirder if he didn't go. He may have even been asked to attend it.

[@disableddragonborn]

I mean, Tyler didn't have to reveal the motive when caught. It is evident. They disciplined him, he became angry and resentful, and decided that if he has to kill them to throw a party, so be it.

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

There were some really foul people in this one. I'd vaguely heard the other two stories, but lived in Denver when Columbine happened. That was a horrible day, followed by horrible months.

[@lumariadp]

This one is one of Mr. Ballen's earliest, so I excuse it now, but the first story bugs me so much. The moniker 'Golden State Killer' was actually not used until 2013. Back in the days these things were taking place, he was known as Original Night Stalker or East Area Rapist (usually abbreviated as ONS/EAR). So hearing him saying that 'by then he was known as another name' bugs me so much even though it shouldn't.

[@bethhendricks5567]

A childhood friend lived one street over from the GSK and he was, according to my friend, disturbing looking and erratic. They joked, sort of, that he was a serial killer. Scary!

[@darkangel4rmk88]

D'Angelo went to this town meeting to gather information. He knew that they didn't know it was him, he wanted to see how close they were to figuring out it was him. Then to get their plans on how they were going to capture the killer.

[@jules3048]

Yep. I was thinking the same thing

[@oougahersharr]

D'Angelo was a cop. He wasn't just gathering information. He was pretty much expected to attend.

[@darkangel4rmk88]

I must have missed that bit of intel while I was letting in my dogs. That is a bit embarrassing.

[@oougahersharr]

@@darkangel4rmk88 I am not sure when it was said, but at the end of the video Jamal repeated the info that D'Angelo was a cop. (I also remember when the case had been busted open by DNA a few years ago. They were able to link three different crime sprees with three different 'suspects' all to the same crime spree and the same suspect. To sum it up quickly, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia (though normally I prefer a more legitimate source). In the end, his linked crime sprees were given the overall name of "The Golden State Killer". Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. (born November 8, 1945) is an American serial killer, serial rapist, burglar, and former police officer who committed at least 13 murders, 51 rapes, and 120 burglaries across California between 1974 and 1986.[4][5][6] He was responsible for at least three separate crime sprees throughout the state, each of which spawned a different nickname in the press, before it became evident that they were committed by the same person. In the San Joaquin Valley, he was known as the Visalia Ransacker before moving to the Sacramento area, where he became known as the East Area Rapist and was linked by modus operandi to additional attacks in Contra Costa County, Stockton, and Modesto.[7][8] DeAngelo committed serial murders in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Orange counties, where he was known as the Night Stalker and later the Original Night Stalker (owing to serial killer Richard Ramirez also being called the "Night Stalker"). He is believed to have taunted and threatened both victims and police in obscene phone calls and possibly written communications.

[@BeeWhistler]

The Columbine one will always make me angry. Folks went on for ages wondering why they did it and talking about the effects of bullying. I heard those two actually were bullies, not the other way around. I dunno. But the result of all the speculation cuts both ways. On the one hand, it paints a bullseye right on the forehead of every awkward kid and outsider in every school, whether that kid would ever hurt anyone or not, but on the other hand, the adults keep yapping about the effects of bullying but don’t do a damn thing about it.

[@blagageorge3824]

most bullies were themselves bullied at some point. I myself got bullied all through school and let me tell you, wanting to strike back at not just the bullies but everyone who sat by, watched and did nothing or pretended to see nothing is not a small feeling. fortunately, there were people who stood up for me and that helped me not snap (and I'm not a violent person by nature, in any case, but who knows). many people don't have that luck and they eventually take their fantasies out in reality. if they had more violent tendencies to begin with, it can become a ticking time bomb

[@Lowtiergecko]

^

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

The worst thing about the speculation after 25 years is we know the reason for the mass shootings (the majority of them) but the agendas will never let the reason be addressed. The politicians always go straight to gun conversation and the few of them that focus on the fact that these people are crazy and medicated is ignored. The ones that finally do focus on it don't try to fix the problem (the pharmaceutical industry wouldn't let them since it's in the drugs) but instead just create laws that can be abused by exes and angry friends/family members. A simple observation shows an escalation in the violence tied in with the "improved" medicine. Any real scientist in search of "ground-breaking" research would be able to figure it out but something tells me that person(s) wouldn't be able to get it published.

[@margaretmclaren4685]

I recognized the 2nd one from Sword and Scale. This retelling wasn't too bad. It really is weird to consider the actions and thoughts of killers.

[@kimking6036]

If I were on the case, when that man that said all stuff was murdered, I would have been looking very close at the people at that town hall meeting

[@deborahvernarelli6394]

Columbine was such a tragic event..so much sadness, sorrow, as well as anger over what happened there..and so many more school shootings since then..it's still happening..what is this world coming to???..I'll just leave it at that,..and everyone can form their own opinions..thank you Jamel.

Just watched this reaction. If you want to know more about the Golden State killer there’s a great documentary series on HBO. There’s more to the story involving the wife of famous comedian/actor who helped solve who the serial killer could be. Check it out if you have HBO. It’s called “ I’ll Be Gone In The Dark”

[@sherroncunningham7845]

Don't feel bad I love my mom more than anything I would have never ever said anything or done anything to hurt her and now she's passed away and I miss her more and more everyday I'd give anything to have a conversation with her so I totally agree with you I could never do that to my mom my mom passed away last year

[@dorothylloyd1804]

Hey Janel. Thanks for more Mr Ballen. Really enjoy your reaction to these. Have a good night

[@deborahvernarelli6394]

On the 2nd story, it was obvious to me, being an adult, that this boy really had issues that went beyond just rebellion..it sounds like he was tried as an adult, and he should have been..if he went to a psychiatric hospital, there is no guarantee that his life could have been turned around..especially if he lacked certain things in his mind, that normal thinking people do, like compassion, empathy, and respect..thank you, Jamel.

Brother Jamel, one of my co-workers was a student at Columbine. She decided to skip school that day. If she hadn't, she wouldv'e been in the middle of the cafeteria when the shootings took place. Talk about divine intervention... Peace and Love to all...

[@disableddragonborn]

It's tragic that just over a dozen victims seems so insignificantly low because of what has happened since Columbine.

[@Hope-fv3kf]

1976 young people were still hitch hiking. No security cameras, no cell phones, no computers, no internet, police the next county over did not have access to crimes in neighboring counties. Obviously, the Golden Gate Killer, as a police officer the Dept had his fingerprints "on file" but was not suspected.

[@Gu3ssWhatsN3XT]

in a way the whole golden state killer story just makes me think of scream. The whole town hall meeting just gave me those vibes

[@carnivoroushoneybee7862]

Cops dropped the ball. The man who put down the killer was the next victim. If it wasn't on tv, obviously, he had to have been at the meeting. There is your suspect pool.

[@apa6331]

[@KanetsidohiKanotoush]

My favorite story by Mr Ballen is the one with the bell and the running across a forest, I could actually hear the bell ringing and feel the desperation

[@carlagrisso6086]

You need to watch Coffeehouse Crime and That Chapter. They are as good as MrBallen.

You should read some of John Douglas’s books about FBI profiling, very often they go to these meetings and insert themselves into the investigation!

[@nyyankeesfan9865]

The Golden State killer was also a Vietnam vet and was fired from the Auburn police force for stealing a hammer from a drugstore.

"This is the one I was looking for... but I wanted to hear MrBallen talk about it..." - If you'd like another MrBallen video of something you don't think you need to hear about yet again, but you'd like to hear MrBallen talk about it, try MrBallen's 9/11 video from last year. WARNING: Be ready to be both horrified and extremely sad. I didn't know that I ever needed to hear a first-person view of the 9/11 Twin Towers story, but apparently I did.

[@BlackCat-rm2wv]

I just found out he is a Navy Seal and made lots of videos about his Navy Seal experiences before he started telling true crime stories.

[@disableddragonborn]

MrBallen goes more into detail than most crime shows. I've had times where I feel like I recognize a story but then learn another detail and assume it is different, only to find out I was correct.

[@gertrudelaronge6864]

There is a channel called "Fasinating Horror". I think you'll enjoy it, if you enjoy the type of content in this video. It's good story telling in the form of 10 minute documentaries about a variety of horrible events. Both recent and historic. Famous disasters, murders, accidents, and my personal favorite, horrific fatal or disfiguring amusement park ride accidents. (the "Superman Drop Tower accident" will haunt you.) And, don't miss the "The Who Concert Crush" mini-doc. About a tragic incident occurring December 3, 1979 in Cincinati Ohio. 11 people died. All stories are all entirely factual, there is no need to sensationalize these tales. I hope you'll check it out.

[@Diffidentone]

The second one seems odd, how did no one go into that room and see the bodies if there was a big party and as was said people were disrespecting the house. Someone would have certainly not only seen the blood but gone into the room. Having been a teenager that threw parties I can say there is not one place in the house or yard or even neighbors yards where someone did not go during a party.

[@TheRealdal]

The Golden State killer, He was a married police officer at the time. Crazy

I kinda feel like it wasn't an 'ironic' twist of fate that the killer targeted the guy who was insulting him at that public meeting. I feel that would have been expected.

[@Sgt.chickens]

Yeah if i was that guy or the police i woulda just posted up with a bat and i guess in the US a gun. Seems like an obvious way to bait him into getting court.

[@willowfalls7528]

Finally subscribed to Mr. Ballen after this video. I've wanted to for a while, but somehow, all his videos I've seen I've watched through this channel, and I've kept forgetting to go and subscribe myself. Fixed that now, though.

[@sherroncunningham7845]

Yes it is I seen this on television I remember it God how I remember it I will never forget I still remember them saying that the ones that survived that the killer walked up to a girl and said do you believe in God and she said yes and he killed her I still remember that

[@ademoss80]

There was a photo, it was of the killer at the town hall meeting. 🤭The thing is that is probably one of the reasons the meeting was set up to begin with to see if they could get lucky. Hell I would have assumed the chance of him being there were pretty high. It would be the perfect opportunity to see what they had on him.

[@disableddragonborn]

In telling Michael to look upstairs, he tainted the crime scene. I wonder if that is why.

[@openmindz7689]

I mean obviously he was in the town meeting if the one guy that was calling him a coward was the next victim. It's like duh.. ofcourse he had to be at the town meeting. I picked tht up right away.

And it was at least four dudes in that picture "shooting" which always make me wonder, was there going to be more participating?

No Jamel, he isn't always accurate with his information in fact he elaborates and sometime outright gives the wrong info. If that's your total opinion go check out his video on Harrison Ford and how he got his start with Lucas. Most of it is wrong. That's one example. ----------------------------------------------------------- Truth over lies. Empathy over Apathy.

[@lynncunningham829]

I remember that I remember it as if it was yesterday one walked up to this girl and said do you believe in Jesus or it was God one and she said yes and that's when he shot her and killed her that is the most coldest thing you could do to a person especially a child and I don't know how those kids are but they were still too young they were just children I don't care if they were teenagers my God to take their lives for no reason at all may all their souls rest in peace you take care and God bless

[@woah_millie9931]

I've never like going to house parties for the same reason.

[@DoNkEy_LoVE]

I hate to say it because yeah he was criminally insane but I actually think it was very smart to go to those meetings cuz then he got to hear all the people's concerns and then like Mr Bowen said the cops told them what they're doing and what leaves they had so it was like he was able to go in there and learn everything that was either possibly getting them closer to catching him and then changing it which is probably why he changed his demo that's about him said he changed his Mo after that town meeting and said it only went toward married couples and I think I watched a longer documentary about him and he chose that coupleBecause he wanted to show that man that he wasn't as bad as he thought he was if I'm right if somebody knows that I'm talking about a different case please let me know but didn't he put plates on the husband's back after he tied him up so that while he was SA the wife and then murdering her so the husband would have to watch and hear it but he put the plates on his back so that he couldn't get up without him hearing cuz if he got up the plates would fall if that's a different murderer I'm sorry to mix them up but it just sounds like it cuz I'm pretty sure the reason the guy did the plate thing was because he was at a meeting and they were talking about him and that he was a p**** and I want to think that he had been a cop before this might be a different case I'm thinking of I'll have to look into it I guess I'll delete this comment if I'm wrong
