As a law student, i love that you take time to explain specific terms and educate listeners about crimes and their consequences. You are more than a story teller and that's why this is my favorite channel ❤️ I love your content
I am also a law student and I find really interesting the differences in criminal law between usa and Italy, how our societies shape the laws based on their respective cultural compass
“As a law student”….. why tf did this bother me so much? You couldn’t leave a comment/ compliment with out typing as a law student? Like what you said didn’t reflect your studies at all. Wtf did this irritate me ? Being a student, meaning you’re not licensed yet, had nothing to do with your statement. I think I need therapy…. Bahahahh!!!
My girlfriend is recovering from brain surgery for epilepsy, I’m working 15-hour days and I’m mentally and physically drained. The world outside my door is never short of distressing and horrific events, but your videos never fail to lift my spirits. The attention to detail and thorough writing and editing are incredible, and your channel is my favorite. Thank you for everything you and the team do. You have such a widespread positive effect on others and it is greatly appreciated.
You are strong, you’ve proven that. God will not let you down and prayer is free, can be done anytime, and no one can take deprive you of that freedom. I just now prayed that God keep you and your friend in His arms.
That is one brave and devoted father. He could have laid there in agonizing pain, feeling like there was nothing he could do. Instead he got up and fought for his daughters, despite how badly injured he was. They’ll forever remember him as their hero and the bravest man alive. It’s because of him that they’re alive today.
Just a side note, I read the story about Richard Danziger, the man in the second story who was proven innocent; he's doing great & has a wife, kids, loves to garden & with his millions from the settlement he was able to travel around the world, including Australia where he's always wanted to go. Anyways, he's never told on who beat him so bad that day in prison, the only thing that's known is that he was severely kicked in the head with STEELTOE boots. Now, it doesn't take a genius to know who wears steeltoe boots around the prisons & it's definitely none of the inmates.
Actually they do sell steal toe boots in some prisons. It all boils down to what the warden will allow on the commissary. American prisons back in the 90's were a lot more lenient with security measures. Source: I did 10 years state and federal prison from 2003 - 2012 ...and they sell steel-toe Sketchers on the commissary ;)
@@TheDweeb002 yikes, that's pretty frightening. Put them on a bunch of violent inmates & for sure there's going to be damage. They can use them on guards also.
@@jaimestewart8295 oh I know!My fiancé did a lot of jail time & I've heard of many different things they have in there, if it's not brought in then they find a way of making something that replaces it lol... he said he never saw steeltoe shoes tho. But we're in Canada so it could be diff up here
Gosh, that first story is heart breaking! That dad proves just how far someone will go to protect their family. What a stud! And those evil bastards who committed such horrific and senseless crimes, sitting there on camera, opening the families gifts with such arrogance, they stood no chance against a fathers love for his family.
I had an African Gray parrot for 30 years. They're very very smart, but they don't pick up conversations that fast. They must have fought alot and Glena had to be abusive to her husband. That bird pick up words and phrases they had to have said to each other lots of times. So she was obviously threatening him for some time. Very sad.
It’s absolutely horrible that two men went to prison for something they never did and that even though they finally got out of prison. Their lives were permanently ruined. And it’s even more horrible to know this happens more than people think. I know no justice system is perfect but this story is a reminder of exactly why we must continue and never stop working towards at least improving our justice system.
This is why you must always remember: the police aren't your friend and you aren't obligated to speak to them without your lawyer present. Never speak to cops and always lawyer up, ESPECIALLY if you are innocent.
The justice system is working exactly as intended. It was never designed to do justice, it was always about punishing those who people in power wanted to be punished no matter their guilt.
Not to mention they could've been killed, nobody seems to care about the death still being active in some countries. If that person then turns out INNOCENT that judge who deemed them guilt is no better than a murderer.
How many years in prison and brain damage did Detective Hector Polanco receive for false arrest, intimidation, unlawful imprisonment against Chris and Richard, and for aggravated bodily harm against Richard? After all, he was, by and large, an accomplice to the attack on Richard, and the justice system also for acting in concert. It is only when the makers, keepers, and enforcers of law are held accountable for actions that impact the lives of others, that there could ever be any real justice.
He'd be fine with it. Trust me, a father is okay with the outcome. Especially since it means he was gonna go anyway and he got to save his baby's life before he went out. Cancer he can't beat a bullet and fire. He got this. But I'm also stoned so 🤷🏿♂️
Oh my god as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew it would involve the case where that African gray parrot essentially solved a murder. There’s a reason why African grays are considered to be one of the most intelligent animals in nature.
Oh my gosh, the last story. I couldn’t stop laughing because that’s literally how you solve an Ace Attorney trial, by literally cross examining a parrot to show Edgeworth is innocent.
I would love to know how many killers and rapists are shaking who got away with their crimes back in the day but now realize that DNA is catching up with them. Confession are just flimsy.
It’s not just THEIR DNA 🧬 that can get them caught, but familiar DNA 🧬 as well….one of your relatives could be on file OR have put their DNA 🧬 into one of those genealogy companies and they could trace it back to you cause the DNA is similar 😊
What scares me more than any crime or murder case, is someone being wrongly convicted for a murder they didn't commit. There needs to be a law holding corrupt & lazy police accountable. They can literally destroy your life based upon their incompetence & narcissistic egos,
I'm a newer viewer to your channel, but i appreciate that you put your sources (psychologist, lawyer, etc) in the video! adds credibility and is also very interesting.
The Tiede family is tough, even the daughters fixing up the cabin and taking it back for themselves is beyond badass considering what almost happened to them.
The love that a parent has for their children is absolutely indescribable.. He really showed that he will do whatever it takes and you gotta go through Dad first. Very sweet 💕
I'm addicted to these insane twists! First thing I listen to when getting ready for work in the morning, your voice is incredibly soothing thank you for providing us with these videos!!
In the second case, if Joseph hadn't come forward & confessed then the two innocent men would have died in jail labeled as guilty for the crime they didn't even commit. Had Joseph not already had a life sentence he probably would've not said anything at all. Only reason he did is because he wasn't ever getting out anyways. Just imagine how many times this has happened & is still happening? Lots of innocent men & women paying for a crime they didn't commit, usually because the cops want to get a quick closure to a case. I can't imagine nor would I want to imagine what hell it must be to have no freedom & locked up for the rest of life, especially for someone that's completely innocent. Also, for every person that's innocent within the jail, that equals one that's guilty outside the jail free within our society. THAT part scares the crap outta me!!
@@phancypheast6448 Easy to say from the comfort of your home. I can understand how people who are innocent just want an interrogation to end and confess to thinking they're going to sort it out because of their innocence.
This really shows a fathers love. I know a lot of people don't have relationships with their fathers, but I'm blessed that I have my dad. A few years back, by dad risked his own safety for mine. We were watching fireworks when something went wrong and the firework didn't explode the right way which knocked it over and the next firework shot straight for us. I remember jumping up from my seat as one of the fireworks exploded under my chair and my dad threw his arms around me and shielded me from the other fireworks with his own body. I ended up only having a small burn on my leg that didn't even blister.
The first story ending with the phrase "lightning never strikes twice in the same location" is quite unnerving to me. But I admire Linae and Tricia for their strength and resilience. And what an amazing father they had, a true hero.
I remember seeing this crime featured on one of the Primetime like programs. It's so deeply disturbing. Von is walking, breathing excrement. Seeing him open those gifts sickened me, as did the entire encounter. I hate to think what those pigs would have done to the girls if they had succeeded in their plan.
this channel was one of my biggest motivations to commit to my criminal justice major. i love this channel so much thanks for giving me motivation to do something with myself- especially studying how to help bring justice
Love these episodes, the facts are stated clearly and you define terms or laws for people unfamiliar. True crime right now is really disappointing, since most people leave out things, or add their own theories but present them as facts. Keep up the great work!
The Danziger and Ochoa one is so frustrating. Railroaded right into life sentences just because someone thought maybe they drank a toast to someone that died. Ridiculous; cops just wanted an easy win on that one.
Yes for sure. But stupid Ochoa has helped them. If you wanna ruin your own life, go ahead, but he didn't have to drag his friend down with him, offer a bogus confession on his friend's behalf and ruin his life, as well. I've seen several documentaries on this particular case.
@@needaccount94 i will repeat what I said and you can view it as stupid , I don't give a shit. It's ok if you wanna ruin your own life and incriminate yourself, just yourself. But this fool dragged his friend with him, and as a consequence, ruined his life! If you don't understand how wrong it is, i can't help you. I've seen several documentaries on this and I would feel sorry for Ochoa (yes false confessions happen) if IF he didn't get his poor innocent friend involved.
It isn't even a crime to drink a toast to someone who passed, honoring their memory even if you don't know them is respectful of those who have passed.
20:26 shouldn't that detective be fully responsible for whatever happened to Richard in prison? And also for the fact that they wasted 13 years of their most productive years? He should be sued and made to pay for it.
unfortunately, it is exceedingly rare for any law enforcement involved in wrongful conviction or similar miscarriages of justice to face any repercussions
This got to be your best one yet. All the stories are haunting. First one, about the heroic father and how the daughters choose to move on with their lives, heart-warming. Second story, feel so bad for the innocent men being convicted and tortured for a crime they didn’t do. The police officers and offenders who beat the innocent guy, so messed up! Third one, parrots are amazing. She is a coward really, causing all those troubles but didn’t even have the courage to kill herself properly.
Rolf has got to be the biggest badass ever. Every girl looks at her Dad as a hero. But it is usually for coming to change a flat tire for them. Rolf was a real life hero. An Avenger.
Father being shot on face clothes burned , pretending dead with that amount of blood loss to silently follow them lately definitely needs a separate documentary on him.
I’ve been into true crime since I was 14 (over 10 years ago) but after finding EWU I refuse to watch any other RUclips crime videos. The Ravens voice is wonderful to listen to, fits the ambiance, and is clear enough to understand without turning on closed captioning. 99% stories are stories I haven’t heard before, which is difficult to come across when you’ve seen enough true crime videos. And the in depth explanations of behavior (especially since I’m a clinical psychology major and love analyzing behavior) are absolutely amazing and greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work, I can’t get enough of your videos!!
A EWU video and That Chapter video both airing on the same day is just what I needed! 🥰 by the way I'm loving the frequency of your uploads and the detail per video, every time I hear the Raven's voice I get giddy lol - one of the best TC channels on RUclips. If YT screw about with true crime I have little reason to watch this platform any more, you and several other channels are the sole reason I have any interest in staying on here atm. Keep doing the amazing work you're doing EWU 👏 😊
This is much more than story time. Your channel has taught me more than “entertained me” You’re a Teacher who just happens to be able to tell a good tale too. Thank you for your knowledge and sharing it with me.
I love your voice so much! There is so much work and effort put into these videos, I know the victims families appreciate you telling their stories and calling to justice for all of them. Thank you for the uploads ❤️
Hands down the best narrator in youtube with JCC´s(tho they stopped sadly) I dont know whos in charge of the channel but keep it up! and never lose this man as your narrator! you/all are incredible!
Wow that first story really got to me & I am usually not that emotional about these stories. I think it's because I remember my Mom decorating for Christmas & filling the home with so much love. Also, my Dad was a burn victim& I was in the hospital, deathly ill at the same time. Had he known I was in the same hospital he wldve pulled the wires from himself to be by my side. Im so glad Rolf lived on for some time & that those girls had the strength to forgive (for themselves) & continued to move forward. Idk if I wld be able to rebuild the place where my Mom & Grandma were murdered but the strength that takes is immense & I admire them for that.
On the first story The fact that their dad was shot in the face and had fire on and around him and he still pretended to be dead so that he could chase the men and save his kids is amazing! That dad is an awesome father!
god bless the family, the girls acted so bravely and their father and uncle as well. i hope they found peace and know that their mother and grandmother are watching over them, proud that they survived.
Oh my gosh that bird. How smart and traumatized was that bird to take up the whole final conversation and rat her out? Poor thing. Good job little buddy. I’ll give you all the crackers.
My heart goes out for Chris and Richard💔 especially Richard. We get one life and theirs were totally ruined just because they chose to eat at a certain place and pay respect to the dead.
I talked to myself about it as soon as it showed how it ended. I said, "That father is a badass." I agreed with me, and you, he is a badass. Lol I've got a fever so that probably isnt as funny as I feel it may be
I completely forgot how cruel life can really be, not only did that man lose his loved ones, he got shot in the face, to then have to fight fire, and then on to heroically save his daughters with his brother, i can not begin to imagine the fear he must of felt, but then to die of cancer, sheesh that's hard. The only nice thing is that they were all able to be together. But I can't help feel sad for him. A true Hero.
I’ve seen a very detailed account of this crime, and the father was severely injured and has been difficult to understand. In the biography he apologizes for this and it is absolutely heartbreaking. Totally heart wrenching.
The second case is just further proof as to why you never speak to the police without a lawyer. Asking for a lawyer is not an admission of guilt. Refusing to talk is not a confession. If these two men would have asked for a lawyer the second they were accused of murder, none of that would have happened.
Deliberating for only 7 min is a big red flag. And WOW what a dad!! Shot in the face set on fire but still went after his babies and got them back!! Amazing. Good parents would do ANYTHING for their children. Anything.
The way you write these scripts and include actual photos/videos/phone calls make the stories so much more entertaining. Thanks for all the hard work! Addicted to this channel lol
“Corrupt group” you are acting like most police officers are corrupt lmfao. Why don’t you go and become a police officer since you appear to be the only good one?
Thank you EWU, your channel is one of my favorites, better than anything on actual tv these days! I think casinos should be held liable for the downfall of so many people! It is disgusting how they steal peoples souls and ruin so many families! I work with a guy that has a gambling addiction, he lives in a tiny camp trailer and has lost his vehicle because of his gambling, he is incapable of driving by a casino without stopping, he said a couple weeks ago he actually won $7000 but ended up walking out broke again! I just can’t wrap my head around that! He could’ve bought a new vehicle and improved his living condition with that money but he wasn’t able to leave, I guess that’s why casinos are so rich! They should do something like set half of a persons winning aside and not let them get it for a week or so, maybe by then they’ll come out of the gambling fog and realize how much they need that money! It is so frustrating casinos are aloud to destroy peoples lives without any repercussions! I realize it’s the persons fault for going in the first place but the cops crack down on drug addicts but they allow casinos to destroy just as many people, I personally have only gambled a couple times and have zero interest in it so I just don’t get the appeal 🤷🏼
Man, this is horrific. Clearly, all murder is awful, but attacks on seniors is another level of cowardess. May all those who did not make it home rest in peace. Respects and sympathies to the family and friends of the ones who have passed on. May they rest in peace and be remembered forever 🙏
Rolf is so badass for turning up after being shot and burned, on a snowmobile ready to hunt those guys down. i love how he just didn’t let anything stop him getting his girls back. what a legend!
damn bro was out there being the greatest dad to have ever existed. what a man..what a legend... shot in the face, burned down, had just lost his wife and mom, possible lost his two daughters and still went out there to fight. this stuff is for the movies. May you rest in Peace, Rolf. you are second to none when it comes to being a brave men.

@@needaccount94 i will repeat what I said and you can view it as stupid , I don't give a shit. It's ok if you wanna ruin your own life and incriminate yourself, just yourself. But this fool dragged his friend with him, and as a consequence, ruined his life! If you don't understand how wrong it is, i can't help you.
I've seen several documentaries on this and I would feel sorry for Ochoa (yes false confessions happen) if IF he didn't get his poor innocent friend involved.
@@auzieblo Same. Richard didn't deserve it at all.
It isn't even a crime to drink a toast to someone who passed, honoring their memory even if you don't know them is respectful of those who have passed.
20:26 shouldn't that detective be fully responsible for whatever happened to Richard in prison? And also for the fact that they wasted 13 years of their most productive years? He should be sued and made to pay for it.
unfortunately, it is exceedingly rare for any law enforcement involved in wrongful conviction or similar miscarriages of justice to face any repercussions
you should be responsible for whatever happened to Richard in prison
Who are you talking about?
@@humanfirst11 talking to you of course, you should be responsible.
@@terrorsquadlith ......why? they had nothing to do with the false conviction and incarceration of richard, unlike the pig
as a student in the law pathway i love watching these documentaries and give me a heads up of things before we actually learn about them lol
The first case is absolutely terrifying. My biggest fear is a home invasion/intruder.
Those young girls, and their father, are heroes. ❤️
Mine too 😬😔
This got to be your best one yet. All the stories are haunting. First one, about the heroic father and how the daughters choose to move on with their lives, heart-warming. Second story, feel so bad for the innocent men being convicted and tortured for a crime they didn’t do. The police officers and offenders who beat the innocent guy, so messed up! Third one, parrots are amazing. She is a coward really, causing all those troubles but didn’t even have the courage to kill herself properly.
Rolf has got to be the biggest badass ever. Every girl looks at her Dad as a hero. But it is usually for coming to change a flat tire for them. Rolf was a real life hero. An Avenger.
Father being shot on face clothes burned , pretending dead with that amount of blood loss to silently follow them lately definitely needs a separate documentary on him.
"There's no way to cross examine a parrot."
Phoenix Wright would say otherwise.
I’ve been into true crime since I was 14 (over 10 years ago) but after finding EWU I refuse to watch any other RUclips crime videos.
The Ravens voice is wonderful to listen to, fits the ambiance, and is clear enough to understand without turning on closed captioning.
99% stories are stories I haven’t heard before, which is difficult to come across when you’ve seen enough true crime videos.
And the in depth explanations of behavior (especially since I’m a clinical psychology major and love analyzing behavior) are absolutely amazing and greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good work, I can’t get enough of your videos!!
Please do a video on the Maguad Siblings case,
Mr Raven.
People liken the horrific case to the horror film, "Orphan".
That first story 💔 dad was awesome. It sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie. So glad the sisters found some happiness again ❤️
A EWU video and That Chapter video both airing on the same day is just what I needed! 🥰 by the way I'm loving the frequency of your uploads and the detail per video, every time I hear the Raven's voice I get giddy lol - one of the best TC channels on RUclips. If YT screw about with true crime I have little reason to watch this platform any more, you and several other channels are the sole reason I have any interest in staying on here atm. Keep doing the amazing work you're doing EWU 👏 😊
Let's give it a goo 😉
@@johnbartle2631 I hear you barking big dog
Thank you. You guys are the first channel, network or person or whatever to explain clearly what aggravated means when I comes to crime.
This is much more than story time. Your channel has taught me more than “entertained me”
You’re a Teacher who just happens to be able to tell a good tale too.
Thank you for your knowledge and sharing it with me.
“Lightning never strikes twice in the same location” is a scary saying to live by.
Man the dad in the first story is strait badass
I love your voice so much! There is so much work and effort put into these videos, I know the victims families appreciate you telling their stories and calling to justice for all of them. Thank you for the uploads ❤️
Hands down the best narrator in youtube with JCC´s(tho they stopped sadly) I dont know whos in charge of the channel but keep it up! and never lose this man as your narrator! you/all are incredible!
Wow that first story really got to me & I am usually not that emotional about these stories. I think it's because I remember my Mom decorating for Christmas & filling the home with so much love. Also, my Dad was a burn victim& I was in the hospital, deathly ill at the same time. Had he known I was in the same hospital he wldve pulled the wires from himself to be by my side. Im so glad Rolf lived on for some time & that those girls had the strength to forgive (for themselves) & continued to move forward. Idk if I wld be able to rebuild the place where my Mom & Grandma were murdered but the strength that takes is immense & I admire them for that.
On the first story The fact that their dad was shot in the face and had fire on and around him and he still pretended to be dead so that he could chase the men and save his kids is amazing! That dad is an awesome father!
I like that you show Glenna’s image on black/white then color it while saying she survived.
I recall several instances in FL where leading questions were asked to a serial confessor just to close cases.
Very admirable to mention red flags like you’ve been doing for a long time. Bravo Bruv!
god bless the family, the girls acted so bravely and their father and uncle as well. i hope they found peace and know that their mother and grandmother are watching over them, proud that they survived.
That bird is so smart it’s almost scary, the fact an animal can copy a voice and stuff like that is so terrifying to me.
Oh my gosh that bird. How smart and traumatized was that bird to take up the whole final conversation and rat her out? Poor thing. Good job little buddy. I’ll give you all the crackers.
I thought the same thing. Poor thing must have been so traumatised seeing it all, that it stuck in his memory like that.
THIS DAD IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND
My heart goes out for Chris and Richard💔 especially Richard. We get one life and theirs were totally ruined just because they chose to eat at a certain place and pay respect to the dead.
No one gonna talk about how badass the father is?
Shot set on fire and survives yep that's pretty badass.
@@leejackson7588 right.
I talked to myself about it as soon as it showed how it ended. I said, "That father is a badass." I agreed with me, and you, he is a badass.
Lol I've got a fever so that probably isnt as funny as I feel it may be
@c w literally several people did??
I know right?! What an absolute legend
Those detectives should be prosecuted for extracting a false confession.
Dude was shot in the face and burnt. Still came out at the top and saved his daughters. It's amazing what a parent's love can do.
First story should be made into a movie with Liam Neeson as Rolf
YESSSS
I completely forgot how cruel life can really be, not only did that man lose his loved ones, he got shot in the face, to then have to fight fire, and then on to heroically save his daughters with his brother, i can not begin to imagine the fear he must of felt, but then to die of cancer, sheesh that's hard. The only nice thing is that they were all able to be together. But I can't help feel sad for him. A true Hero.
I’ve seen a very detailed account of this crime, and the father was severely injured and has been difficult to understand. In the biography he apologizes for this and it is absolutely heartbreaking. Totally heart wrenching.
this is currently my favorite series on youtube. thanks for always putting out great content!
Thank you for continuing to upload even with the issues from youtube.
I know, I hope they’re at least still getting paid for the ads for this channel. I let them all play just in case. They definitely earn it.
The second case is just further proof as to why you never speak to the police without a lawyer. Asking for a lawyer is not an admission of guilt. Refusing to talk is not a confession. If these two men would have asked for a lawyer the second they were accused of murder, none of that would have happened.
Why would a corrupt cop get anyone a lawyer? They are already breaking the law so why not continue to break the law?
I so want a parrot now LMFAO 🤣 badass
‘You can’t cross examine a parrot’ said so seriously had me inappropriately cracking up.
Shout out to the father on the first case he’s a true hero right there
Deliberating for only 7 min is a big red flag.
And WOW what a dad!! Shot in the face set on fire but still went after his babies and got them back!! Amazing. Good parents would do ANYTHING for their children. Anything.
I know I’ve never seen a jury make a decision in so little time. Smells very fishy
Rolf is the type of man you’re hoping your man will be if anything ever happens to you. Father of the decade ❤
The way you write these scripts and include actual photos/videos/phone calls make the stories so much more entertaining. Thanks for all the hard work! Addicted to this channel lol
What is up E.W.U. Crew!!!
This is the most detailed report of this case I've ever heard. Thank you & bless those survivors.
I usually watch these kinds of things without batting much of an eye but damn that first one got my crying.
"There's no way to cross-examine a parrot" Phoenix Wright would like a word with you
Powerful action from a father.
"Lightning never strikes twice in the same location" --- That is not only WRONG, but it's also quite a stupid remark in such a situation!
Perfect for a Friday night, thanks!
"Lightning never strikes twice in the same location." What a wonderful quote coming from a legend.
That's actually false.
Hello 👋🏾 EWU fam . !! Here for another Disturbing stories . Showing love to EWU Crew , as Always great 👍🏾 details & the home videos are chilling.
No amount of compensation will make up for lost time spent in prison you can't turn back the clock and relive those lost years.
Yesssss!!! Grabbing some wine and enjoying this!!
Crazy to think they can get innocent people to confess to a murder they didn't commit. So much power given to a corrupt group. God bless!
“Corrupt group” you are acting like most police officers are corrupt lmfao. Why don’t you go and become a police officer since you appear to be the only good one?
This channel needs independent sponsors, along with clear communication from team RUclips in order to survive.
Rolf Tiede should be given the world's greatest father ever award
Those grey parrots are super smart. I would trust what the bird says.
The parrot repeating the moments before the gunshots is insane.
I cried when I read about the dad o the snow mobile....What a strong and brave man!
Everyone deserves a parent like Rolf. Holy moly
glad your the one telling all the stories now, your channel will grow FAST
If you are a true crime fan, EWU is the only channel you'll ever need. Excellent content and narration. Seriously great work guys love your stuff!
EWU Crew....let's go!! Best channel out there. Thank you for all the awesome videos. 👍
Rolf is a damn hero
Thank you EWU, your channel is one of my favorites, better than anything on actual tv these days! I think casinos should be held liable for the downfall of so many people! It is disgusting how they steal peoples souls and ruin so many families! I work with a guy that has a gambling addiction, he lives in a tiny camp trailer and has lost his vehicle because of his gambling, he is incapable of driving by a casino without stopping, he said a couple weeks ago he actually won $7000 but ended up walking out broke again! I just can’t wrap my head around that! He could’ve bought a new vehicle and improved his living condition with that money but he wasn’t able to leave, I guess that’s why casinos are so rich! They should do something like set half of a persons winning aside and not let them get it for a week or so, maybe by then they’ll come out of the gambling fog and realize how much they need that money! It is so frustrating casinos are aloud to destroy peoples lives without any repercussions! I realize it’s the persons fault for going in the first place but the cops crack down on drug addicts but they allow casinos to destroy just as many people, I personally have only gambled a couple times and have zero interest in it so I just don’t get the appeal 🤷🏼
Man, this is horrific. Clearly, all murder is awful, but attacks on seniors is another level of cowardess. May all those who did not make it home rest in peace. Respects and sympathies to the family and friends of the ones who have passed on. May they rest in peace and be remembered forever 🙏
Rolf is so badass for turning up after being shot and burned, on a snowmobile ready to hunt those guys down. i love how he just didn’t let anything stop him getting his girls back. what a legend!
Thank you for the content The Raven and everyone else in the ewu crew love you
damn bro was out there being the greatest dad to have ever existed. what a man..what a legend... shot in the face, burned down, had just lost his wife and mom, possible lost his two daughters and still went out there to fight. this stuff is for the movies. May you rest in Peace, Rolf. you are second to none when it comes to being a brave men.
Just in time with the best crew and narrator THE EWU CREW AND THE RAVEN, have a great and safe Friday and weekend everyone 😗😘😍
They always talk about mama bears but father Bears can be just as ferocious
Just made my night.
Thank you, EWU Crew❤️
