Just a tip: If you ever find yourself in a situation with a psycho, some things you should NOT say to them are:
-"You won't get away with this!"
-"I'm going to call the cops on you!"
-"You're gonna go back to prison for this when it's over!"
and other similar statements. IF you can, try to remain as calm as possible. Gaslight them into thinking you're not upset about what they've done to you & that it's no big deal. Basically ANYTHING to NOT escalate the situation and make them think that you're a liability if left alive. I know this may seem like common sense to most of us, but how many times have we heard of people doing exactly the opposite and losing their lives for it? Personally, anytime I get into a weird situation with a stranger, where I'm getting vibes that they might be unstable, I do everything I can to de-escalate it & act like everything's cool, or that I'm of no danger to them physically or legally.
Exactly I was raised by a nut case and this is how I survived.
@charliechurch5004 Oh man I'm sorry because i totally understand you since I was raised in the same environment with my father, and that's exactly where I learned to hone my "skills".
Same!! Wonderful childhood traumas have made me hyper aware of EVERYTHING. I can talk my way out of most situations
felt this so HARD.@@charliechurch5004
100%. This only goes to highlight how truly naive this poor victim was. If the priest was just a tiny bit more aware of his surroundings, and about violent meth heads in particular, he should have just stayed on the street corner where they first dropped him off. He may not have made the funeral that way but he for sure would have survived.
Could have, should have. RIP too nice guy, it's sad to me that society let you down and allowed yourself to feed yourself to literal wolves. Amazing to me that none of his "friends" stepped in to forcefully to remove him from the co-dependence situation he was caught up in. Sure, 20/20 hindsight, but still
Just because youve been through horrible things doesnt mean you have to do horrible things to others
Yup, exactly. So he said, I just want people to understand how damaged I am? My response is, it doesn't matter whatsoever. You did what you did bc you are what you are. Others are damaged, they don't do this.
@@raphaellavictoria01I'm very damaged and gone through so much but I could never hurt anybody! I want to help others heal not cause more pain
Literally billions agree.

I wish you all the best.
May your Life from today onward be happy, healthy, full of Love and fun, and wonder.

Not everybody reacts the same. Combat PTSD for instance. Some become violent when triggered, some suicidal. Just as child victims of SA more often go on to abuse kids themselves. That's why they say to "stop the cycle of abuse".
He's despicable through and through. Can't pity him for any reason at all.
may God someday grant you a soul
@@terminusnoctum you worry about your own, not mine.
@terminusnoctum he killed a priest but the guy admonishing him in the comments needs God? Lmao
Sure can't. So true. His tears were for himself and made me think of violin music. lol He reeeeally thought he was going to walk out that door being a stubborn lying mule. All those mental gymnastics and sassyness didn't prove anything but how quick he is to anger and more. He needed a exorcism not about anything mental how he described at the beginning he enjoys acting psycho and can't control IT! R.i.p to the Priest even if he wasn't one ill add it was the kind of person he was said to be and kind to a fault.
@@terminusnoctumThe priest felt sorry for him…………………………
He was using the priest for his own gain. He knew that man was kind & was a giver so he took advantage of him til the very last second of his life. He deserves everything coming to him !
Agree. His childhood would undoubtedly have made him like that but at the end of the day what he did was terrible. A waste of two lives.
Exactly. It's the ol' 'bands a make her dance' trick
Clergy always takes advantage. It's how they make money. They lie for a living, and when that doesn't pay enough, they manipulate emotions and coerce.
@@haywardjeblomey6505talk about painting everyone with the same brush.. I'm not religious in the slightest, in fact the total opposite & whilst I know the abuse, coercion & outright perversion in the church this priest wasn't that. You can't taint this victim because of others.
It's one thing to be evil enough to take a human life but to murder one of God's holy priesthood they have taken vows dedicating themselves
to the service of god...the church that christ has established...is the only way we have of getting to heaven...thank God for baptism and confession..Jesus said what you do for me least of these you did to me...
Wow the priests family didnt even wanna give him the death penalty, respecting and standing by his morals wishes still. Im tearing up😔😔
Catholics don't believe in the death penalty
So this priest is giving you money, and helping you out in many other ways, then you get mad at him and kill him? That makes absolutely no sense at all. Shaking my head big time here...
I kinda get the feeling it was jealousy!!! Jealousy can sometimes be hard to avoid, but jealousy never, ever leads to anything positive OR productive!!
You can't comprehend that because you're probably not a piece of sh##
Yes to a normal mind your right makes no sense. But to a really screwed up mind. It makes total sense. He’s sick. He’s a nut when taking drugs. And not taking his prescribed meds for his mental shortcomings.
I think the priest was giving him a whole lot more than money…I believe he was pressuring Steven to engage in s€xual activities with him
@@ronaldpellet854you’re*
Calling himself tough when he's built like Beaker from the Muppet show is hilarious
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
First off this guy is a manipulative murderer but I'm sure he can fight. Size and build don't mean much, look at some of the best MMA guys! I've seen little dudes beat the crap outta big dudes by being fast, knowledgeable and can take a punch. I'm glad he will never get out of prison.
@@Bettinasisrghe’s a coward. He’s a bully that picks on the weak. I’ve done time in the pen. those are the vibes I’m getting from this guy.
😂😂😂😂
I like to help others, but we must set boundaries. There are people out there who take and take. This man finally took this priest's life.
An Ohio priest was sentenced to life in prison Friday after he was convicted of grooming three boys and taking advantage of their opioid addictions to force them into commercial sex, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
In May, a federal jury in Toledo found the Rev. Michael Zacharias, a Roman Catholic clergymember, guilty of five counts of sex trafficking in allegations that spanned 15 years, from July 2005 to August 2020. Prosecutors said he abused his role as a teacher and priest at a Toledo parish school to groom the three boys into adulthood, force them into sex and enable their addictions to pain medications and heroin later in life.
“Michael Zacharias used his position as a trusted spiritual leader and role model for young boys and their families to exploit them in the most insidious ways, coercing his victims from childhood and beyond to engage in commercial sex with him,” said Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, in a statement.

I saw something on Facebook once that read: Givers know your limits, because the takers don't have any. " Stuck with me ever since
@kdallas3966 as a roman Catholic sadly this a story that's not surprising although I've never had anything but positivity within my local congregation our current priest is due to retire he's a beautiful man strict but lovely and with all these stories u wonder who u gonna get next personally I'd never leave my granddaughter with no one not even a man of the cloth alot of people use their religion for horrible reasons the c of e scientology lds they all at it but for 1 scum bag u get a 1000 good ones
@@kellyloulou81 you don't know priests. The priest who officiated at my wedding spent decades raping kids. I bounced him off the wall when I caught him trying to rape my ring bearer in the vestibule.
When we fail society, it will fail us back 10 fold.
What this guy did and his girlfriend was disgusting. Whether the priest was naive or enabling, this guy shooting him 3 times after walking him into the woods then bragging about being a tough guy, he's just a prick.
👹
He thinks he’s so tough, wait til he gets to prison. He’ll be someone’s b!tch. He might like to fight but he’s a little guy.
Agreed
I don't understand why the Father didn't have a cell phone with him??
@@cherbeatTX59fathers don’t carry cell phones. I’m catholic and it’s not the done thing
Talking about him in past tense is the same as confessing to his murder. He thinks he’s so smart and so tough 🙄🙄🙄
Prayers for the family of Father Renee🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 What a wonderful man for trying to help people that most of society looks down on.
i really hate how these thugs "speak" too, they really think it makes them sound cooler if they "don't care about anything", it's a cycle of aggression that can be broken but too many jackasses keep falling for it and trying to impress their stupid friends.

Right?? Totally agree with you on that👍
thank you!
@@BikingWIthPanda👹
@@BikingWIthPandatotally agree
"I just can't control myself when I get angry."
This is an *excuse* .
This simply means that you don't even bother to try, because you think that anger, aggression, and violence is the proper way to handle all problems, it's wrong.
Like the vast majority of killers in prison, he likely has the IQ of a small child.
@@Dinosaurchickin He still chose to take the drugs

Right, reminds me of a toddler throwing a tantrum, but only more violent and dangerous. Same emotional maturity level.

RIP to this unsung hero 😢❤️🙏🏻⚘️
I get that childhood trauma effects the way you think but at some level, those that were abused should know better than anyone else. Everyone has a choice to spread pain or love.
Some people who have been abused think that gives them the right to abuse others, it's the "no one looked out for me, why should I care" mentality. I do think it's the ones that are narcissists. Most are fortunately good people by choice for the reasons you stated. We all have free will and can change the world for the most amazing if we chose too!!
I think there’s neurological issues that occur after childhood abuse. Not sure if they’re capable of feeling empathy as we can. (I’m also just some idiot who knows nothing lol)
People that want to help need to realize that when you're a junkie you will do ANYTHING for your habit. It changes you and makes you lose your humanity completely. (Speaking as a former junkie of 17 years.) The only way to get that humanity back and see clearly again is total abstinance. Anyone that doesn't want to accept this does not need to help people in this position. They will get hurt.
I was longer than u too. 20yrs. Had my son at 30 im now 40 and have stopped since he was born as i became a single father since his birth.
@@philipsmi-lenguyen8155 crazy how things work out. I'm 41 and a single mom. I'm proud of you for stepping up! Many wouldn't!
He’s was sleeping with the girlfriend. Note he said she was deleting messages.. i I ya obvious
Salute too u on your 17 years clean ❤
Facts, you’re very right. There are very few ways you can truly help an addict. The best way you can help is give them a safe place to detox, provide them with necessities and wait for them to sober up.
this felt more like dude was in his therapist office
I get so excited when y’all upload a new video! Made my coffee, now time to enjoy 🥰
I think you are my best friend! Coffee and Crime! Lol ☕
Mane sheet
Can we please get this channel some sponsors?! They deserve the ad revenue, and the content is great.
I like this channel, but let's be honest about what it actually is, because it's not "content". The voice is AI, the tiny bits of information about the case were compiled within a few hours surfing Google, and the video itself is just interrogation footage they had no hand in making. Filing a FOIA request is all you have to do to make this "content". RUclips should demonitize shit like this, it's exploitative. At least other TC channels do actual work researching, editing, presenting, narrating, rendering, etc.
Honestly, I'm actually surprised the cops haven't started uploading interrogations for easy RUclips money. It's scummy, but I don't see why that would stop them.
@@denisehagwood4542Some agencies do release their own body cam videos to YT. Some examples: Akron (OH), Cleveland (OH), Eustis (FL). These videos have actually done a lot for the reputations of these agencies.
My sister tries to help everyone. Every loser with issues seems to have a magnet attracting my nieve sister, who has her own issues. I tell her time after time that some ppl are just leeches and will never change. I am afraid one day I will be putting up missing person flyers with my sisters face on them.
Love you sis xoxo
Naive ❤
@@RoseGold1224 thank u
That's her nature, mine too but I've learned my lesson and am very careful. Hopefully she stays safe and with a sister like you looking out for her I'm sure she'll be ok!
@@Bettinasisrg thank you for the kind words. I'm a brother. A brother with 5 sisters ❤️
Sadly people can see a pure heart from a mile away and take advantage of their kindness. I pray she stays safe and puts her life and kindness first before anyone else.
Whata dirtball, he thinks he can gaslight and manipulate his way though. Lock him up and throw away the key.
Thank you so much for your continuing efforts to bring us such great content. I even turned my coworkers on to police interrogations and we debate the tactics used 😂. Your content is amazing.
What kind of work you do
It amazes me how many of these Suspects who are clearly guilty will sit there for hours and believe they have been there to give information and not being charged for the crime they have been asked questions about.
Wow...right off starts bragging how tough he is.... he kidnapped a priest then shot him in the back....😐 unstable mental illness,, abuse and a desperate junkie with anger issues... thats vile! Not something to be proud of... omg... just my first observation ... 😬 some ppl can't be helped...
spoken like jesus himself
Whats good is bad and whats bad is good these days.
Many demons walk in human skin! 🤷🏽♀️
Well, he definitely "bit the hand that fed him". A true monster in human form.
Those drugs are just starting to come out of his system. I was waiting to see him start yawning. He's about to be in for a rough ride 😬
We appreciate how well you've articulated your own insights. Keep working hard.
It's AI 🤦🏿♂️😂
I appreciate your stupidity keep it up 😮😮😮
Steven said "You know", 12.764 times during this interview.
And cleared his nose cavities 281 times
None of which helped him whatsoever.
As a former alcoholic, I can’t even fathom, even f a t h o m, killing someone in the name of drugs or alcohol. piece of absolute trash that doesn’t deserve life in prison, because that implies he deserves a life, which he does NOT 👎🏻
It's wild to me, it's like drugs literally takes your common sense away and causes u to revert back to monkey brain and only react on instinct and his instinct is a single hit of some drug. It's so un comprehensible to me. And glad u kicked the habit, welcome back to sobriety my friend, that's a big feet
it’s not really related but congrats on recovering. that’s a difficult achievement that many don’t reach- you should be proud, friend! ❤
This man is obviously severely traumatized. I don't even think anyone implied that the drugs caused him to kill. But whatever man, go off

This is just tragic from every side.
“What’s the worst thing you’ve ever thought?” That was a great question
Listening to him talk is like sandpaper on the inside of my brain.
No good deed goes unpunished, unfortunately! So damn sad!
Always!!!
I’m only 3 minutes in and I’m absolutely heartbroken 😔
Then the screen goes straight to the devil laughing and now I’m pissed!!!
I sure hope there’s prison justice for a priest.
Clergy aren't the moral authorities they claim to be, nor are they exemplars of compassion or justice. They lie about everything to make people pay them. They threaten impossible violence should you not take their control over you seriously enough.
What an utter creep! A vile despicable monster unfit for society!
Not because of his upbringing either, but because of the choices HE made, showing no mercy to his victim. 😡
Soooooo many of these cases involve my city jacksonville, florida. Not even just this channel but a lot of others too. My city is so trash and toxic.
This guy does not care at all and thinks he is smarter than the Police. He shows no remorse or responsibility for he's actions and I hope he gets life without parole where he deserves to be.
This guy: no one can beat me up
Also this guy: kills a 70 year old man because he is so tough
But also yes, I do think he is on drugs to cover his mental instability. This is another example of what real mental health access could prevent. He may not have felt like he had to use drugs to cover his pain with drugs and also have his mental issues if he had care when he was young
Well, that ship has sailed.
@@mustbetuesday3982 but it hasn't for the thousands of other kids exactly like he was that we can do better for that won't end up like him.
With a gun
If you've ever heard the term "jailbird", this is the poster child of the term.
All this dude wanted was someone to talk to! Well… his cellie will fill that roll for him now
This priest sounds like a man with a heart to help people, but he stepped over into enabling. That’s when he was in danger. People who are enabled want desperately to continue to be enabled. I am not blaming Father for his own murder. Just pointing out a common mistake people make. They never realize over-helping puts them in mortal danger.

No good deed goes unpunished, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, let people fight their own battles, you can't fight their wars until your finished with yours etc ...
It's tragic, but this priest could have saved himself at about 15 different times. He must have really been naive to criminals. You get dropped off on a street corner? Go to the cops or the nearest church and tell them you are a kidnap victim. It makes little sense.
He was religious. He trusted god. His first mistake dont believe in imaginary beings to help you with real life issues.

As a smokers myself, I can't help but believe that detectives need to have a smoking interrogation room. I know the plan is for these folks to have to basically earn a cig, but I'm here to tell you, they are more likely to be ticked over wanting the cig than appreciative of one 4-5 hours into being grilled. Its a "Flies with honey" situation.
fuck smokers' entitlement is strong. there's no reason to subject an officer of the law to that smoke /in their workplace/
You catch more flies with honey you're right, give them a cig, relax them, then get the story. On the other hand there's one on EWU when the reward of a cig seems to make him admit stuff.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they've got a handle on the cigs for bait situation but ty for the insight ig...
Absolutely! I do definitely believe they could get more confessions, while building better rapport, with a smoking interrogation room. Brilliant!!
@@beevonerdah right because authority figures know everything and should never be questioned or informed of anything. How’s ur relationship with your parents btw

48:45 He also keeps talking about him in pas-tense, and only he knows that there is no more priest since he murdered him.

That’s What im thinking too, giving away so much money. I have no trust in catholic priests, sorry.
Thanks for saying it.
I can't keep listening to him say "I mean" and "you know" literally 3 times a sentence bro
So sad. Father Rene lived by setting the example by living a good, Christian life. May he rest in God’s arms ❤
Ya know how Christians say all LGBT people should be killed incase they are groomers.
Statistically Christian priests are some of the most likely to be actual groomers....
Foolish in retrospect. He’s no longer able to help deserving people.

Giving money to junkies so they can buy more drugs is living a good Christian life? 😅😂
Boomhauer looks different in real life...
Never tell your kidnapper that they "will never get away with this" and they are going back to prison...or any violent unpredictable person, really, just dont threaten ppl w the police...if you want to go to the police, just do it, no announcements necessary...and if you are kidnapped or held hostage, lie....say whatever you have to say to get out alive...its like signing a contract under duress, its not binding, so just lie..
Absolutely! I think the priest was just being honest, not realizing how his ingrained honesty could contribute to his demise.
You're right
That’s if what this killer is saying is true, it’s his telling of the story as the poor priest can’t tell it, not sure if I believe him he likely just wanted to make excuses for killing him
That’s according to this lying pos. He probably did it cuz he was high and paranoid but had to shift blame
@@scottanonymous798he’s lying. Shifting blame for excuse
What a mysterious plan god has for some people, huh?
God's plan? No. Satan was working through this killer.

Love your channel! Thanks for the videos!
That priest was unbelievably naive, wow.
This happened in my hometown. What a senseless crime all the guy was trying to do was help him
Predators can smell the scent of a person with a helpful nature from 100's of miles away. Motto of the story? Understand the scent you give off, and wear a powerful perfume and keep your bleeding heart quiet to cover that scent up.
Nice, a case I’ve never heard of, thanks!
Moral of the story: Help nobody but yourself.
Words of wisdom on having a fulfilling life and no friends.
Most of the people I encounter on a day to day basis pay it forward when receiving help. I like to think there are more people like that than souls like this
I just love how this dude acts like he has morals after he killed the only guy that cared about him. Saying how he doesn’t judge people
What a sick soul! Took me to hear him brag about how tough he is to find something else to watch!
I have to say, your videos are the only ones I love watching. There is especially something about your narrative voice that is so perfect.
"I had a lot of love for him"..."he was..."
He keeps talking in the past tense, which doesn't help him at all the idiot and im glad it didn't.
I’m Catholic and I know many priests who are just like Fr. Rene, especially Franciscan priests. We actually bought our parish priest new dress pants because his were so threadbare. He even gave them away, not wanting to appear worldly. Bad apples in the lot ruined the whole barrels reputations. The media loves to portray every priest as a pedophile. It’s very hurtful to see the faithful priests be spit on and treated badly. Rest in Jesus arms Fr. Rene. Well done, good and faithful servant, enter in to receive your reward.
If a significant percentage of clergy have abused children, why keep that company at all? In the case of teachers, it's necessary to expose your child to some risk in public school. Education is mandatory until adulthood. But you don't owe the false authority of the church anything at all. They have no right to abuse anyone, but preying on the weak is literally the only thing frauds do.
Brainwashing is the opposite of education. It takes up all the space with magical bullshit and leaves no room for facts or reason. It's not ok to lie at all, but brainwashing is violence. It's the r word for your mind. Every aspect of your personality is hardwired to think magically, which puts you at a severe disadvantage to modernity. If you think you're magically going to live forever, and that this life is just the waiting room, then you're not going to live your life to the fullest. Instead, your entire life will be devoted to a lie, and it will be soon forgotten.
If it's the default position to sweep child r under the rug, what does that say about the morality of the religion?
Worldly for wearing a pair of pants! Insanity at it’s best! 🤦🏽♀️
@@tammyslade1375 Franciscans take vows of poverty. You don’t understand.
Rest Now Father Renee. A job well done sir.
If only the Father had got out of the car at the unfamiliar, unsafe corner when Murray told him to. Odds are he'd had survived. Sad.
Agreed! He could have gone to the police and reported that his car was stolen. But Father Renee was too trusting and forgiving😢 I am Catholic, but I do not support this forgive and forget nonsense. If someone has a criminal past and keeps on taking, then give a wide berth. We can forgive, but don't forget. Remembering past offenses keeps us safe from harm.
He never imagined Murray was capable of murder, especially of a benefactor. No good deed goes unpunished 😢
This guy! Sitting in police interrogation talking like he is talking to a therapist. STFU, Steven!
I study human behavior so excuse me for interjecting but he didnt confess bc the detective missed a crucial step in the REID technique.. he never gave him the option of not looking like a monster. The only time he did was when the detective said, "ppl will respect u for doing the right thing". He never added, "we dont think ur a monster, we think you've had to fight to survive & we all make mistakes. A lot of ppl will respect you & will still love you, if you do the right thing. God will forgive you." Its something Father Rene would've said to him & by his facial expression when he was speaking w/ his sister & she said, "How would u feel if it were me out there missing?" both of those combined, he wouldve EASILY confessed. If nothing else in that technique, appealing to things/ppl THEY care about & painting them as a human that makes mistakes & not a cold-blooded monster then I have no doubt he would've confessed. Throughout every interagation Ive noticed both of those combined = confession, every single time. Food for thought that if they feel understood & not judged then its truly amazing the things ppl, in general, reveal to u.
What's just the worst is this guy talking up his victims' really kind and generous qualities, having killed him. It's incredibly creepy.
Dude got the definition of insanity all twisted. 😆
And he thought he was so clever! I bet he's heard his therapists say it but f-wit wasn't paying attention!! Misquoting Albert Einstein!
Father Renet was a special guy. He will be missed.
I don’t wanna make assumptions but I’ve seen it happen time and time again we’re older wealthy men will help out younger women for their company not always sexual but I feel like there was something going on behind the scenes and of course her boyfriends gonna get jealous because this guys giving her money all the time and belittling him in a way… probably had secretly wanted to hurt the priest for a long time.
'The family knew the victim would be against the death penalty and argued for his case'... and no lessons were learned.
Something is not adding up.
I AM a Giver. Period.
But, never to this degree and I was dumb.
I don't believe it was given with no strings attached. I could be wrong but........
I couldn't help but notice the often use of past tense to describe the victim, although I noticed the detectives also were doing that before it was revealed that he was already dead.
You gotta love it when a father knows that a brother should just go back to jail lol
Being tortured as a child literally alters your brain. Clearly, he should be punished for his crimes; dude is deranged, but between prolonged abuse and drug use, he really didn’t even have a chance. Just sad all the way around.
The fact that he F bombs every other word must mean he is innocent.
I think he took his speech patterns from Boomhauer on King of the Hill.
“I knew she wasn’t fuckin’ on me, he’s an old man.” Hahahaha
I don't think there is any point in telling a police man your sad back story when you already killed one of the few people who actually listened and cared
Love and prayers for father Renee 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
What a horrible evil “human”. You’ll never is him again. You will spend eternity in the depths of 🔥. Some people are truly inherently evil, and somebody that can do things to children and kind people that don’t even know you and are trying to help you a.k.a. a priest are unredeemable and they are truly just pure evil! Prayers to the kind people…. to the others you will sone day meet up with others of your kind and you’ll spend eternity treating each other how you treat others.
He's not mentally ill, he's just EVIL.
He's power hungry
He blaming that girl acting like he’s the voice of reason😂😂
I get no help and I pray every night lol it’s crazy how the ppl that get help mess it up but ppl that need help struggle and sacrificing daily to make ends meet for kids and dogs and wife
In that order 👍
This reminds me of the Henry Ford quote “Givers have to set limits because takers rarely do.” - I don’t see how providing cash to drug addicts on a regular basis could turn out well. Hopefully she had the opportunity to sober up after the priest was no longer able to fund her addiction. :/
Gonna take this one with me.(
The suspect speaks about the victim in past tense, "I HAD a lot of love and respect for Father Renee, he WAS there when nobody else was, when I couldn't depend on nobody else, he WAS there, I HAD a lot of love for him." I don't think the detective(s) caught on that he was speaking of the victim in past tense.....
Murray is a strange one, but a real psychopath. So good at mimicking emotions, that even his sister hopes he has a "good side"! And he is intelligent, clever, and not the usual dimwit. Of course he knows he is going to prison for life, but it's all so boring for him. Everybody exists to use or be abused in his mind, it's logical. He is quite at ease with himself, knows how violent he is, he just doesn't care. No kindness touches him, no loss hurts him. Yet, he seems to like the idea of love and kindness, can say the words. He is like the automated phone waiting voice repeating "We value your call".
Amazing response! 💯‼️‼️
Psychopathic criminals are like poisonous reptiles, who change their color to match any background. This character was not human. He was a complete sociopath, who only saw other people as things that exist to benefit, enrich or amuse him. Poison reptiles will often bite the hand that feeds them and if the people who show him kindness die as a result, it makes no difference to him. He laughs at forgiveness. He is a human parasite.
Thank-You..Interesting Case..
I’m sure Father Rene knew the risks involved with being very generous with people who had addictions. This obviously ended tragically, but I’m sure he helped a lot of people because of his generous spirit.
An Ohio priest was sentenced to life in prison Friday after he was convicted of grooming three boys and taking advantage of their opioid addictions to force them into commercial sex, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
In May, a federal jury in Toledo found the Rev. Michael Zacharias, a Roman Catholic clergymember, guilty of five counts of sex trafficking in allegations that spanned 15 years, from July 2005 to August 2020. Prosecutors said he abused his role as a teacher and priest at a Toledo parish school to groom the three boys into adulthood, force them into sex and enable their addictions to pain medications and heroin later in life.
“Michael Zacharias used his position as a trusted spiritual leader and role model for young boys and their families to exploit them in the most insidious ways, coercing his victims from childhood and beyond to engage in commercial sex with him,” said Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, in a statement.

@@kdallas3966that literally has nothing to do with this case. Lol
Not every priest is a pedo or groomer. This man certainly wasn't. A large percentage of children coming over the border were sold into trafficking by their own f'd up parents ffs. Your own President is a pedo.
@@kdallas3966the priest was offering anything but guidance, money, knowing he was buying drugs, ignoring the sister's pleas to stop enabling him. The priest has a no good do-gooder approach. Abuse of opiate users? More likely than not.
@@CutThroatJuggaloalso the same thing they keep cutting and pasting in an effort to continue making no point.
Well researched / coached individual. May get traction yet ! 😄
Prayers for the families
He always refers to Fr. Rene in the past tense...
The priest helped a lot of people in Jacksonville. He paid for a bunch of hotel rooms on the Lane Ave.
That's a Priest's car ????? He ball'n. R.I.P. Father.
