Things like this are why I support the death penalty.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

This really should have been a DP case.

[@lawrencefrost9063]

I've changed my mind on the death penalty. But not because of this. I always knew there were people who deserve death. The problem is that how do you make sure you don't execute innocents? The problem with the death penalty was never the penalty itself but the fact that unlike other penalties, you can't rescind it after it's been implemented. The solution to this is the very highest standard of evidence required.

[@bbbb98765]

Why? All the evidence over many years shows that it is useless as a deterrent

[@evelynwaugh4053]

I have no problem with the death penalty! But sometimes I wonder which is worse... *- death, it's over, no guilt, no punishment, just...gone. over and done. *- the rest of their life being raped and beaten and being fed Sh*t Sandwiches for lunch... all alone in their tiny cell with nothing to do and no one to talk to for hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades... and they'll still be alive knowing they'll never the sunshine again. 🌞

This is so tragic both for Jonathan and his mother. Imagine being a single mother trying to take care of your young son and having to leave him at home alone so you can work some shitty minimum wage job to try to put food on the table, only to have some psycho take him away from you and torture and murder him horribly.

Absolutely tragic. I agree that poor Jonathan may have not been her first victim. This clearly wasn’t a blind/drunken rage crime. Everything she did was deliberate and methodical: she called the mother to make sure she was at work. She kidnapped her victim, tied and tortured him, hid the body, and knew to hide herself from a passing vehicle. She knew what she was doing. Without the surveillance cameras, she may have gotten away with it.

The woman who killed her stepson and left him in a suitcase a few years back definitely got brutalized in jail. One of the other inmates at the jail said she got beat, had hot coffee poured on her face, and everybody who walked past her kicked her in the head, and the guards took thier time to break it up. And that was just one day during lunch. Hopefully, this lady suffers every day for the rest of her life.

@Charlie Church The little boy was "white". The murderer was "black". That's why race may have been a factor in this case. Facts: *White people are more often the victims of racial based crime than vice versa. *White people are victimized FAR more often by black people period - whether race is a factor or not *It's very rare that any white person ever harms a black person period. *Much, MUCH rarer that a white person harms a black person for "racial" purposes.

[@CankleCankle]

@@peteywheatstraws4909here are some sympathetic comments in this comment section, but if I’m being honest, the mother should be held at least partially liable. She went to work, which is a good thing, but she did leave the child alone when she should have had a babysitter. I suppose she couldn’t afford a babysitter, as she had a very low level job and probably didn’t pay well. If there’s no one to watch your child, paid or not, it probably means you are not being a decent person and people or family are not willing to help you anymore. Children are born to unfit parents all of the time. Some of those times, these parents can continue to increase their success of raising children by continuing education, working harder to receive better pay, and at least maintain good relationships with family and friends. Why wasn’t the father willing to watch the child when he was instead drinking at a bar? Terribly unfit and irresponsible parenting, my heart aches for the poor child. May he rest in peace.

I get the impression that the doc is a bit of a stoic. He certainly seems the sort by the way he appears online. They’re always a good group to follow. The Christian stoics are my very favorite, especially the well read and practiced ones. They’re fewer and farther between in modern entertainment and news, though. More often these days you see the atheist stoic. Which I believe Dr Grande would be a part of, though he doesn’t self identify his ideology/personal philosophy anywhere that I’ve seen. They make more mistakes, though, in regards to blind spots they have in their insight. They have just a bit less virtue in my experience, anyway. And they’re a bit slower to see the truth in complicated situations. Dr Grande is certainly as successful as that philosophy tends to make people. We really ought to be teaching these principles in public school, but of course we aren’t.

I know that doesn't sound like much, but the power she had over me and the fear of not knowing what was going to happen next was terrifying. I'm fairly sure she wasn't allowed to keep me on the bus like that.

As a female welder myself, I can't even imagine using the tools I work with everyday to commit such an awful act. Especially not against a child. This poor little angel and his family.

[@inthelandofmorethansmall7582]

My husband is a welder and when we were dating (13 yrs ago) he had welded something and laid it on a metal table in front of me and said, "See?" So my instinct was to pick it up and look at it. It didn't click in my brain that he was wearing gloves and carrying the piece with tongs. As hot as THAT was I don't even want to imagine what that sweet baby mustve gone through! Absolutely sickening!

Her victim was white and defenseless so yes, of course she's got a cheerleading squad on the outside. Many in the US were, very likely relieved to hear about the macabre and depraved murder of the young white boy.

Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande. Who the hell uses torches to kill a child?!

On ID they said the son called his mom's job but they were busy and when the mom called back her son answered but a random woman took the phone asking if she was the mom etc and then said, "you're a bad mother!" and hung up.

How horrific. I feel so sad for both Jonathan and his mother

[@alloverdaplace2043]

This was a very disturbing case.. Even hard to just listen to it 😔

Dr. G, this was a fantastic analysis. I loved "but clearly out of the running for stepfather of the year award!" and "so, it was a NON-homicidal encounter!" 🤣🤣 Dr. G, I have a question for you: do you ever just laugh while making these videos? Because sometimes I re-play parts of your videos (or watch them a second time in their entirety) just so that I can laugh a second time at your perfectly timed insertions of dry humor. If you ever do burst out laughing, I would LOVE to see "bloopers" at the end of your videos! I think that would be awesome. ❤️ Thanks so much for helping us insomniacs out here in the world (not always, but last night I could not sleep for the life of me). Your videos are so original and well done. Congrats! Also, was it your birthday recently? (I think in one of your Patreon videos, some members were giving you birthday greetings about a week or so ago). If so, happy belated birthday! 🎂 🍾 🥂 🥳 🎉 And thank you once again for all you do for us! 🥰

Every once and a while, I catch the faintest hint of a laugh during his dryly comedic lines!

[@purpleslurple5149]

There are a few videos with the closest he's got to bloopers. They are very rare and you have to watch to the end! And I believe the good Drs bday is the day after Valentine's day, so just a few weeks ago. 👍

[@daliakuwait]

​@purple slurple I see! I will have to look for those particular videos, tho it might be like finding a needle in a haystack 😁 I would love to see all bloopers (f there are any!) at the end of each video, wouldn't that be great? Aha, so Dr. G's Bday was the day after Valentine's Day-- that makes me VERY late in my birthday wishes.... 😬🤨 Have a beautiful week! 😊😉

[@daliakuwait]

​@@MJFish yes, me too! 😄

[@rejaneoliveira5019]

What a heartbreaking case! Thank you for the excellent analysis, Dr. Grande!❤

[@petek210]

Any attempt at alliteration on so abhorrent an act would an affront

[@catherinecarella2928]

NEVER leave a child alone!!

[@eileenbauer4601]

Thank you for your incisive analysis of this case. Too gruesome to contemplate. God bless you sweet baby boy.

[@bricksloth6920]

Yep. Mona said she "loved" children, and Jonathan probably didn't want to be "loved" by her. I blame the mother and stepfather too. There's plenty of blame to go round

[@keivajones1865]

And blame Sharon for undermining the mothers authority

[@brittanywilcox7377]

This is just so damn sad

[@anacanales3499]

I’m so sorry for his mother.. if it wasn’t for that video this criminal will be free .. Ironically the only thing She can use as her defense it was her skin color and I can’t believe how some people still falling by that ..
