I bought a t-shirt and some stickers. T-shirt is good quality, and sports a skull logo. Mike deserves the business, friends! And you won’t be disappointed in the product. Great stuff, quality surpassed only by the vids on this channel!
This kid is scary as hell. His little Ted Talk shows that he is able to parrot back the kind of things that make parole boards and psychologists think he has changed. God help us if he gets out again.
To make it to the blessed age of 87, make it through the war, only to be taken by a deranged psycho is just heartbreaking. May they rest in peace always.
This is one of the saddest and most frightening stories I have ever heard. I am not religious at all, and this story makes me hope that the victims made it to Heaven and that Dan gets sent to Hell.
As soon as someone tortures a pet or you even hear about it, get them on the radar with a cruelty charge. Even if it's an anonymous tip, even if it goes nowhere and it only means the police are aware of them. It's the worst sign that someone has escalating psychopathy that is not going to end well.
I treated a 7yo boy over 20+ years ago whose life took a similar trajectory to this kid. He lived on a farm that had dozens of cats running around. He'd leave the heavy front door ajar, snap open a can of cat food, and as they walked through the door, he'd slam it shut and snap their neck/spine. After not to long they had no cats left and the father found a 55 gallon drum full of decomping cats.
Unfortunately police can't do anything in many U.S. states as pets aren't considered as valuable as humans. Sad but true. It isn't right and it's heartbreaking.
@@SunShinyDaysPlease I don't understand the obsession with treating pets well when we live in a time of factory animal farming. Like people will call the cops on a dog being kicked but then will pay some guy to pull a pigs teeth.
He was frighteningly efficient in his first murder considering what he actually did he didn't leave a scrap of evidence. Had he not said anything to his friends there is little doubt he would have got away with this and God knows how many more. Definitely a serial killer caught at the right time.
@@bethstaley467 Okay can someone tell me this? What if Daniel Marsh never confessed, even after the phone call that was called in by his friend, who pointed at Daniel Marsh. What if Daniel Marsh said, he liked to get the attention and be an edgy teenager, and make up stories that if he hears about any murders in news, he would claim that he did it by appearing edgy and gaining attention. At that point, how would they have proceeded as I understand he never left any evidence. How would they pin him because the friends didnt actually see the murder. They only reported because of what Daniel Marsh told them and claimed its him, but if he had said he lied to his friends for attention?
I can't imagine being one of those people in the crowd giving this guy a round of applause for ANYTHING that spews from his mouth. And TED talks should be ashamed giving him that platform.
I had the same thought. Also I imagined they must have populated that audience with people who had relatives on death row. Anyone who applauded and vocalized in support of this monster must also have a lack of empathy themselves. Perhaps the audience members were a mix of sociopaths and psychopaths.
Wow, that TED talk! Dude is growing up, getting smarter and more manipulative as he ages. He emulates a normal person very well. That tiny smirk he couldn't help letting go as the crowd applauses gives it away. It's a knowing smirk. He knows he's got them right where he wants them.
I trust the idiot at 'Ted Talks' who decided this cowardly murderer of a sleeping elderly couple deserved a sympathetic 'TT' platform was fired! Unbelievable the scumbag was put in front of an attentive audience and allowed to share his 'wisdom'. WTF? A narcissistic killer's wet dream.
@@FugueSt4te nah you lose the right to a second chance when you actively want to kill people. Bc a murder victim doesn’t get a second chance at life and no one should have to be his next victim.
Yeah the detective said he would've gotten away they're weren't even looking his way... 🤦 But kids can never keep a secret or their mouth shut thinking that's gonna make them seem cooler.. 😏
What a beautiful couple they were. Enjoying their golden years and not harming a soul. I always feel for the victims in these videos, but these two hit me a lot harder.
When you look at how absolutely horrific his first crimes were, and recall that serial killers tend to escalate as they go along...Christ, I can't even imagine what he would've done, had he not been stopped.
The fact that he, as a child was able to calmly resuscitate his dad and prevent a car accident just showcases another side to his psychopathy. Psychopaths don't really feel fear in the way a "normal" person does. It explains why they can function in such extreme situations. He could have used this for good but ultimately chose evil
When this kid said “it was pure happiness” after killing two old people cutting them open and removing their organs and placing objects inside them is just beyond F’d Up’d.
yeah its the only way psychopaths can feel anything that isn't just negative emotion. That's why they do it. It's probably a primal evolutionary adaptation meant to be the perfect warrior at any time in history, capable of killing calmly and accurately and without the emotional turmoil.
@Rapportus : yep, that's exactly why they do it. I studied this particular case for a criminal psychology class back in 2017. Hopefully this dude never sees life on the other side of the fence. Unless, say, the gov't uses him for some type of black ops or psychological testing. I think id be o.k. with that. Cheers!
@@DekkarJr full blown psychopaths don't experience positive OR negative emotions. The term psychopath is banded around a lot and linked to almost every single killer going, when in fact a psychopath is just as likely to kill as you or I, and in fact, a true psychopath is pretty damn rare.
@Ben McReynolds I came looking for this comment. I am 35 and their lifestyle sounded exhausting. All I want nowdays is to hold my remote, scroll through RUclips on my flat sheet made bed and chillllll 😎
I work in a hospital and it’s crazy to see how well some people age compared to others. Some are bedridden and frail by age 60 while others are still active and relatively younger-looking than their age at 80+. There’s a big difference in coherence and hearing as well in a lot of elderly people, as some are so hard of hearing where I use a white board and marker to communicate with them, and others know what I’m going to say before I even say it.
“I don’t feel any sympathy for those people at all.” Mike, you killed it with your final comment. “We feel the same about you, Dan.” Great episode as usual.
His Ted Talk sounded like the villain in a B movie where the writers wanted to make him appear to be a really convincing liar while also making it obvious to the audience that he's lying.
YES, I THINK THAT YOUNG MAN IS A HERO FOR MANY! BLESS HIS HEART FOR TURNING IN A "FRIEND" THAT IS A MURDERER! I HOPE & PRAY HE'S DOING GREAT IN LIFE. BRAVO, JOB WELL DONE!
Very true, but it was really weird that he requested anonymity because his mom would send him to military school for... reporting a murderer. Kid's a goddamn trooper. o7
@@Dragonatrix It could be that his mom would send him to Military school for hanging out with all these kids who knew what had happened weeks earlier and done nothing about it, nor did he tell his parents. Military schools teach young people how to have self respect and not be afraid to do the right thing, also life skills etc. Years ago they had clubs for children who taught similar skills (scouts)
He was told the day after the murders yet didn't report it for two months! Daniel went out 3 days after the first muders with a baseball bat to murder someone but luckily didnt find anyone. The friend just got extremely lucky that nobody else got killed.
There is absolutely no way he will get parole. Hearing him talk about how he would kill the police detective with no emotion was so chilling. And for his FIRST crime to be that gruesome and how he was able to leave no evidence behind, I can only imagine how much it would escalate.
It's California. He absolutely could be released. They released thousands during CV and some were worse than this guy. I live less than an hour from Dixon (where this happened) and sadly our legal system is a revolving door here.
I beg to differ. Given he managed to manipulate prison officials into letting him do a Ted Talk while in prison already, I can't imagine how much more skilled he'll get at manipulating them over the course of decades!
@@anovemberstar I agree. Serial killer Edmund Kemper is an example. He learned how to fake it til he made it the first time around in prison after killing his grandparents when he was 15. After release years later he knew just how to con his parole officer & therapist, even leaving a therapy session he had scmoozed his way through while one of his dismembered victims was in the car trunk in the parking lot.
Man, this is a crazy one. If he hadn't told people about what he'd done, he might have been able to do this for a very long time. Glad his friend finally wised up because this kid was definitely not going to stop..
@@cuddlecakes7153 Yeah, especially knowing it's a compulsive desire. Sooner or later he wouldn't have been able to help himself. I can't imagine the fear she must've felt when he snuck in after knowing what he'd done to those people. Gives me chills..
@@informanti THE YOUNG MAN, STILL A BOY IN MY EYES, IS TRULY A HERO! BLESS HIS HEART FOR CALLING IN TO TURN THIS PSYCHOPATH OVER TO THE POLICE. WITHOUT HIM, WHO KNOWS HOW LONG HE WOULD HAVE KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE. I HOPE & PRAY THAT HE'S DOING GREAT IN LIFE. HE SAVED SOME BY HIS BRAVE ACTIONS! * IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, DO SOMETHING :)
I met him once, his mom was a friend of my mom. Once my wife and I were helping bring some furniture from my mom's house to their house. It's quite a strange feeling to see someone you've met on That Chapter, let me tell you!
I get the feeling she was used to being in denial since she obviously denied her own sexuality for years! She left her husband for her sons female kindergarten teacher!!! That’s like the plot of some hot porn!
'Nothing personal,' says Daniel Marsh when asked how he would imagine butchering the police detective. I never really understood what the 'flat affect' meant in the context of the Psychopathy Checklist, but I totally get it now after seeing this terrifying, creepy, atavistic murderer's dispassionate response. Jesus, he answered as though he were only asked if he took milk and sugar in his tea.
In the childhood interview you can notice he has an extremely flat affect and unemotive gaze as well. I notice that profoundly neutral and open expression in peoples eyes sometimes and there is something terrifying about it. This sounds made up but the last time I really noticed it was in the lobby of a seedy motel, on a guy who I later saw punching a woman (he was almost certainly her pimp) inside a car in the parking lot from my window.
Just watch some clips of Johnny Depp from the recent trial and you'll see what the definition of flat affect is lol I can't believe they let this fkin monster give a TED talk, let alone that his entire TED talk was about how "he isn't a monster" since "monsters don't exist" and that he deserves a second chance.. Pff.
@@jonslg240 he’s not a monster. They don’t exist. That’s something humans do to separate ourselves from the terrible things humans are capable of. He’s very much a human. A very terrible human. He deserves every bit of punishment he gets, but don’t fool yourself. He’s human.
Id bet anything he didn’t just look for an open window. He went to their house because they were seniors and he wouldn’t fare well in a fight. This kid is pathetic.
Jeez Mike, that was a brutal one. I don't blame his friends for being scared. That kid scared me too, and that poor couple. My lord, may they rest in beautiful paradise
@@isabellind1292 _They were kids_ And I think they were terrified of Daniel. The kid that called him in was likely both terrified and feeling guilty- terrified of his friend, but also feeling guilty for not contacting the police sooner. His comment about being sent to military school may have been completely fictitious- for all we know. Instead of condemning his friends, how about focusing on the one that was brave enough to contact the police? If he had not done that, this would likely still be a cold case.
@@isabellind1292 Of course you are- no one is disputing that. And I am entitled to disagree with you. I don’t understand the point of your response. This is the *Comments* section. Where people discuss their opinions. That’s the purpose… I don’t get why you are so harsh and so angry. I kindly and respectfully disagreed with you. And I remain kind and respectful toward you. This is meant to be a discussion- where people provide their particular perspective on a situation. This can be a debate, but it does not have to be an argument.
@@isabellind1292 this is a public comment thread, typically, people respond to another with the explanation behind their thoughts and why they think the way they do - also known as a discussion. no one is trying to tell you what to think/feel.
@@isabellind1292 Good God. I never told you what to think or do. That is not my place. I also didn’t “school” you. Nor do I conduct my life in such a manner. I provided my perspective/opinion. I truly don’t understand why you are so aggressive- you respond to a differing opinion as if it’s an attack on you- and it’s not. That is never my intention, and I think my responses in this thread reflect that. Lastly- review the tone in your initial comment to the OP. Everything you just dumped on me could just as easily be dumped on you- it’s right there in black and white.
Oh, he's beyond damaged. The people in the audience applauding him might need to reevaluate their own shite...that poor innocent couple never deserved this. Thank you Mike, God help us all if he ever gets out.
How the hell did he get to participate in a Ted"s Talk. The fact he was able to manipulate whom ever to be able to participate in a Ted's Talk is beyond frightening. Glad the family were able to "kibosh" that. He showed No remorse, stated he has no empathy for anyone.....Psychopaths don't change. They wait and manipulate to get what they want, for their own means, so whoever allowed him to do his little "performance", shame on them. (just my little old opinion). - Peace and Love to Everyone
Ted talk isn't a very prestigious show or platform anymore. It's just "can you talk about this sure go ahead " there's been several ted talks saying being fat is healthy. I'm not for fat shaming, but saying being obese is perfectly healthy is a bad message
tedtalk became trash years ago already. They ban incredible videos about consciousness, or alternative medicine or anything that doesn't go with the mainstream, yet they let people advocating for pedophilia and psychopath killers cry babies asking for mercy. It's been trash for a while and thank god they are tanking big time.
@@broeheemed32 I love the snappy reply. His mother was however fighting an extremely painful illness and is still fighting it today. So, though self absorbed, not selfish.
He sounded like a cult leader in that small clip of his Ted Talk, I can't imagine the damage he would've caused if one of his friends didn't finally speak up to the police.
I love how you cover things Mike, like dude the whole life insurance thing kills me every time. You're clever af but you show a lot of care and empathy towards the victims. Thanks for being s breath of fresh air in this community, we love you for what you do!
It’s a good reminder to put locks on your sliding windows. There are some that will allow you to open the window to a certain point. It helps prevent outsiders from breaking in. Also, keep bushes and trees trimmed back and away from windows.
@@myunknownland9272 people can pick locks easily. Windows arent the only way in. Security, cameras and dogs... Even better- a person. Dont live alone. If someone capable is always at home with the security and cameras and dogs and a weapon when a psycho arrives ... You are safer. They leave and find some other victim or get an oops upside their head.
Ok this one actually scared me a bit.. they had no evidence, no fingerprints or shoe prints. If he killed a few people after with the bat there's almost no way they could have linked anything to him. If he didn't brag he might have never got caught, snuck in snuffed them out and vanished with all the evidence. Scary
it's good he was a juvenile when he committed the murders. he had less impulse control to tell his friends. if he was an adult when he committed these crimes it's likely he would never have been caught.
@@ze_doodles Psychopaths operate VERY different to "normal" people. They do brag. Look at most of the cases even on this channel about actual psychopaths. They all brag in some way and that's usually what does them in. Be it on social media, to family, to friends, blogs, diaries, even to the police themselves. They all have the bragging as a common factor because of how their brain works. If he wasn't a psychopath yet still did this it would be scarier because he probably wouldn't have bragged, thus making it much more difficult to catch him because a normal person would know bragging is the wrong thing to do if you intend to not get caught. Also if he wasn't a psychopath, he probably wouldn't have done it again but in this case he attempted to intimidate people by breaking into his exs house which is what started the chain reaction of him getting caught.
"Like an alcoholic who's done rationalizing and just picks up the bottle" absolute gold Mike, I love how insightful your snide remarks about some of these creeps are xD
Nah , not how it works You have the main Ted events then there are TED Talks that are put on by School , Uni's , Public Speaking forums. You can essentially just ask to put on a Ted Talk, so Ted Talks probably had 0 knowledge of it. Whomever the original organiser was would be the reason why. Ted Talks have control about what is uploaded to the Channel though so that is TED talks fault Having said all this TED talks are a shitty company anyway How they treated Graham Hancock and Rupert Sheldrake is appalling.They will let a sick Killer try and gas light an audience, but they cant handle hearing about Psychedelic research or ESP research? Not too warped priorities, oh no wait yeh they are f*cked
Mike! I have only ever heard this true crime story based off of the killer being the "main character" . This couple sound like they were a credit to society and hearing about them was very respectful. Good on you x
@@VioletJoy and they sounded like the most lovely couple EVER! The terror and physical pain they must of felt. The protection and utter helplessness. The murderer is an evil monster.
Went to UC Davis few years after he was arrested & worked as a legal clerk during his appeal. People in Davis were very happy the judge decided to keep Daniel in jail, but to me the disturbing part was how the other kids didn't immediately turn the guy in....they only went to the police when they thought their own lives might be in danger.
I think they thought their lives were in danger from the very moment he said what he did, they were scared to provoke him into harming them and then decided they are in danger anyway, just because of the break up, so then it didn’t matter
@@joebrinson5040 I don't mean to be blunt but you have to be narrow-minded to just assume people have a lack of character and integrity because of 1 action they didn't take. These are people as well, they have emotions like joy, fear, love, hate, and so on, you don't know what they are going through mentally when caught in what is a very sensitive and dangerous situation.
@@joebrinson5040 yeah I agree, but to be completely fair they were still kids, there is so many thing to teach them most educators don’t put a lot of pressure on “how to act when someone confesses murder to you”. Maybe they also really wanted to believe it’s not true, but again I am not trying to justify being in denial also, just a thought. Horrible situation all around :(
I’m born and raised here in Davis and hoo, boy, this was all spot on. I know a lot of people who went to school with Daniel (we both actually went to Davis School for Independent Studies, but I was a few years older and never crossed paths afaik) and they all said he was always a lil off but never thought he was capable of this. Basically the classic loner story. A coworker of mine’s best friend is the person that confessed to the cops what he knew. Still remember the news story about him saving his dad too. Crazy
That is crazy. I was a freshman at uc davis in 2013 and it’s stuck with me for the past 10 years. There’s no chance he will ever be rehabilitated, actual insanity to think he may get out one day.
He's terrifying. He has NO emotions... even when he's describing his level of excitement after killing them... he remains even-toned. I totally understand why everybody in his circle was afraid of him. Shout out to the "friend" who was brave enough to call the cops and put an end to this- evil, monstrous, psychotic, serial killer in the making. He saved a lot of lives and I hope he knows it. ✊🏾👏🏾❤🏆🏅
@@VioletJoy how did it exacerbate things? He said he felt a euphoric rush when he killed them; that’s not numbness. Imagine what he may have done if he’d been off the medication… his dopamine spikes would have been 2-10x the amount they would be under antidepressants. He would have undoubtedly gone on to kill again, and very soon. Statistically, that’s how those kinds of dopamine spikes perpetuate. Not trying to @ you. I just don’t want antidepressants, which help many innocent people after devastating losses or trauma, to get lumped in with causes for homicide.
I was chilled by him talking so persuasively (it was definitely a pretense, learned, at what people want to hear on his end) at the Ted Talk, but more so by the applause for a psychopath by that audience. He's literally thinking about how to slice and dice them as he speaks, and persuading them to let that happen.
Consider who those people in the audience are. Ted Talks are junk, and the people who listen to them, well, I guess the kindest way to put it is that they aren't exactly the brightest. 😂
@@thankyouverymuch My actual point, if you read that again, is that he is in fact very persuasive, compelling, and clearly has been using his time to be more effective at luring. Making him more dangerous than ever. One shouldn't blame victims of killers, groomers, rapists, etc, for being lured or tricked by someone like him. He should never be in the outside world again.
I spent twenty-five years as a psychiatric nurse, twenty of those years I worked on three different locked hospital units. I understand psychopaths in the academic sense, yet I am completely mystified how someone can feel pleasure hurting others. There is no hope for him. He is doomed. He will always be a monster. He should never see the light of day.
The fact that he already had thoughts of how he could kill the interrogator gives me the craziest chills . How does one find killing someone exhilarating or happy smh. Some people shud just be put out immediately. No time wasting
Wait don't we all have John wick fantasies about murdering everyone in a supermarket when we're waiting in line? No? Just me? XD I kid of course I would never do that but I do like making up fancy fight choreography when I'm bored XD (again, not gonna murder anyone I promise)
So strange to think ahead enough to leave basically no evidence at the scene, and then *immediately* confess to multiple friends the next day. I can't tell if his mind is so broken that he actually thought the police were his only threat, and his friends wouldn't care about a *double murder*... or if he was telling the truth about "not wanting" to feel the murderous way he felt, and basically decided after the fact that he wanted to be stopped. Strange case.
One of the traits of antisocial personality disorder is difficulty in consistently seeing the future consequences of present actions. He planned the murder itself meticulously because that was the thing he was obsessed with, but didn't plan anything beyond that. It's not a matter of what he thought about friends or the police, it's that he simply wasn't thinking at that point.
He is a 100% psychopath who fucked up by telling his friends and HE KNOWS THAT. Luckily he didn't start killing later when he would've been a little smarter enough to cover that base as well. He fucked up and he knows it. This guy would've ended up being a serial killer for many years with many victims. If he ever get's out he will 100% kill again.
What threw me was him saying “I’m so scared right now.” Dude imagine how those people felt when some random guy broke into their house and decided to end their lives 😒
The lovely woman woke up to HIM STANDING THERE AT HER BEDSIDE, STARING DOWN AT HER. Sheer and utter dred smh smh. RIEP 🕊 TO their family and loved ones.
I worked in an adolescent treatment facility for a few years in my late 20s and this kid would make those kids look like angels. And we dealt with some serious offenders. Just made my blood run cold to watch this.
It's mind-blowing how people will fight tirelessly to shorten a prison sentence of an absolute psychopath but abused children fall through the cracks over and over without fail.....
He is one of those abused kids that fell through the cracks. Neither of his parents cared about what was going on with him and his doctors had many opportunities to help him but didn't take it seriously enough and ultimately failed him and the people he murdered. My question is this; where do we draw the line between abused children who slipped through the cracks and psychopathic monsters to be locked away?
He may have fooled the TED audience but this shit isn't going to fly with forensic psychologists brought in during his parole hearing. They can see through this shit in less than two seconds. It's their job. They have P.hDs in this stuff and not even badass here is sly enough to get passed them. They see people try to fake this shit all the time.
Sadly another part of this story is one of Chip's sons was originally accused of the murder and never got over it and took his own life a couple years later.
I feel less bad honestly. The saddest ones are the homeless people and disadvantaged ones like prostitutes. Just pure tragedy at all times. These people happened to have a really bad end, but they lived great lives with little suffering for a long time.
@@woffe8094"the real tragic ones aren't when the nice old people are killed but when the drug addicts and prostitutes are killed" Jesus that's the most Democrat thing I've ever heard. You're a lunatic.
I went back to 14:38 the list of psychopathic traits, from just the 18 seconds clip of the *TED talk,* I can see that right away he checks 8 off the list: 1. Glibness/superficial charm 2. Grandiose sense of self worth 3. Need for stimulation 5. Conning/manipulative 6. Lack of remorse or guilt 7. Shallow affect 8. lack of empathy 16. failure to accept responsibility for own actions.
A difficult subject because it involves two totally innocent victims with not a single connection to a extremely depraved teen who just wanted someone- anyone dead. A young psychopath caught because of his own need to brag about his “adventures”. Thank you again, Mike for your sensitivity in regards to the victims when reporting this story. You succeed because you have a talent for lightening a dark subject without disrespecting the victims. Good on you! Have a wonderful day! Luv ya lad.
Hi Mike, this is Joanne from Tasmania Australia, hope life's treating well. Just watched the story about the youngest couple of killers in England. I believe strongly you choose to have a child 100 percent of unconditional love they receive from me for the rest of my life. I also have a strong voice that has values, ethics, empathy, and the love that is used as a teaching mechanism that has worked with my son. Parenting is a learned skill, you put the time into your child they learn quickly what is right and wrong, make a bad choice or do anything wrong I am still a 1oo percent your mum, I could never let my son down. Thanx for your amazing true life crime love Jo xxxxxxx
His manipulation levels are off the charts and you can see he has no remorse AT ALL. I truly hope he doesn’t get parole, ever. He would definitely do it again, and only work harder to not get caught this time.
Wow a extremely manipulative sociopath who'd have thought it. That's basically their trade mark as they are acting at humanity at all times and so coldly logically observe others and learn what makes them tick and what works. Especially with a Sociopath with narcissistic tendencies.
Oh man! Just leaving to see my hubby in the icu. He has covid pneumonia and is expected to fully recover. We have faith and hope. I just wanted to let you know, I felt that at the end there. That's why hubby and I both love you. You are a genuinely authentic soul. We've been watching for a long time now. Thanks for being there. I'll pass on your love to him my friend💜
I just stumbled on your channel and find it amazing. Your presentation and Analysis and your dry humor make this informative as well as entertaining. I've liked and subscribed and have shared this to a few people. Good job!
I'm new to this channel, but being a true crime fan I've seen and heard A LOT of podcasts/tv/movies, etc... But honestly Mike puts these stories together better than all of them.👏 His research tells me some things I never knew about a certain case, and he doesn't hesitate to share his opinion. Even calling these bastards, well- "bastards." I've seen nearly every episode, but I'm going back to do it again, because I love it so much.👍 Keep up the good work Mike... Cause... I love ya. 💋 -Kara out 💖
And this is why I'm not totally drooling crazy over "Ted Talks" like so many people seem to be. Some are great, don't get me wrong, but if something is a Ted Talk, I don't automatically think it's something that is a positive contribution to society, wise beyond imaginable, and must be watched in order for me to be an enlightened person.
True. He says," there are no evil people in the world". Yes there are my friend, and you're one of them. "Embrace your humanity", sounds like a line from the devil himself.
I think they started out always being positive contributions to society...but too many people got ahold of how to do it, and...yeah. Some are just a joke.
tedx is borderline or actual scam crap a lot of the time, ted itself was good like 10 years ago for a while and sometimes borderline scam crap now. for young innovators they shouldn't really feature anyone young based just on promises their company will do etc
Please never ever stop the , “Let’s give it a goo.” And the “I hear you barking big dawg.” And also the “Because I love you.” I live for this moments! And anytime you have to say anything with a t in it. Hell all of your jokes are amazing. We love you more Mike!! Thank you for all the amazing top notch content. Always my go to on RUclips!!!🖤🤍 Best content creator in my book. And one of the few who actually appreciates his followers like you do.
"Give it a goo" is funny. I hate dogs, so I'd rather not have the dog one, and I don't even remember him ever saying that, guess I blocked it out since I hate dogs. And the "I love you one", well, that's just not true. He can't possibly love every person who hears his voice. If there's any doubt about that, just look at me. Nobody who knows me loves me, so why would this random stranger give a flippin' goo about me? 🤣 I always try to turn off his video before it gets to the "I love you" part, because I don't need to hear that as a reminder that nobody cares.
It's absolutely amazing to me how psycopaths feel great pain and anguish for themselves but virtually none for others. They trully can not take what they dish out.
Hearing him talk about how he always imagined killing people, and how exciting and exhilarating it was to kill those people was absolutely CHILLING and horrifying that people like him exist. Medication doesn’t make people do that. He should never be free. I agree with your comment about how we could say the same about him and not having sympathy because I definitely do not.
but kudos to the cop who already got the confession but made him talk about murdering others and describe how he would do it and what he feels, etc. because they know it can be very effective in court and on parole day (if that ever comes) With that puppy of a video he ain't going out ever!!!!
I have some sympathy. Kid was born a psychopath. There's no fixing it. That's sad. I'm sad people are born this way and we can't fix them. But he's where he needs to be, until the day he dies, for the protection of innocent people like his victims, who seemed like wonderful people.
This is definitely one sick puppy & I'm inclined to agree with you that his homicidal idea are not just going to go poof. I also don't believe he will suddenly be able to empathize with others or grow a conscience, so the longer they can keep him locked up the better. Thank you once again for an interesting case told only the way you can. Take care and remember we love ya.
there is psychopathic behavior (enviormentally induced by bad childhood etc) then there's born psychopaths. People to this day don't understand that born sociopaths or psychopath have nothing to do with the family, or school or anything. They are born this way, they've been always this way and it won't change.
"Unfortunately I guess he had no mirrors in his house" ahahah Only you can narrate such a grim event so respectfully towards the victims while still roasting the murderers. Never change, Mike. 🍀
How in the hell does a murder get to do a TED talk? Especially when it's just a sob story. Yes there are evil people in the world especially one who would randomly kill and elderly couple for no other reason but he could
@@alostbard That has nothing to do with anything lol Psychopathy or ASPD don't develope because of mild childhood trauma like parental infidelity, we'd have a hell of a lot more psychos running around if it did
You ha e to wonder if the old man didn't pass out drunk driving and the kid started pounding on him... The kid looked like he'd been coached to talk. The whole story with his parents seemed one giant lie. His main kick was lying and manipulating right up to that Ted Talk.
These murders were so preventable. He talked to adults about his homicidal thoughts for years before he acted on them. He was literally asking for help to not act out his horrible fantasies. That couple should never have been murdered
"This old couple" Daniel instantly giving away his guilt during interrogation! He lived right near them. He knew them personally. Poor attempt at distancing himself from the victims.
I think it's so bizarre that Marsh was so careful to not leave any forensic evidence behind, but then told his friends every detail of the crime. He probably could've gone on killing for a long time without being caught. Shows he wasn't exactly an evil genius/mastermind. I love your work, Mike, and everything about how you put these videos together. And I love your new shirt, very nice... and I love you, too 😊
He's completely void of all human emotions and feelings, and the way he so calmly and casually described the way in which he killed the elderly couple and enjoyed it so much..........that's just terrifying. He will kill again when he's released from prison because he simply can't control his evil urges and he's probably counting the days until he gets to have that thrill again!
the crazy thing (i think) is that he warned people that he would commit murder. And if the police, psychiatrists or anyone would’ve taken him seriously and done something, he might’ve never killed that couple
Not crazy at all it's totally rational to not lock anyone up or take them seriously when they say such things. Happens more than you'd think and in 99.9% of times it's total fantasy.
Hey Mike I can see the spark back in your eyes when you say give it a goo Take whatever time you need at any time, it's great to have you back ❣️ From Melbourne Australia
Been watching for years now, one of the few RUclips channels that keeps me coming back every week. My favourite source for true crime. Thanks for all your hard work Mike!!! Love from Canada 💖
The literal applause. No. JUST NO! Everybody should be ashamed for even clapping. And the end with him saying “embrace our humanity”…he’s literally saying embrace the killer inside
This kid was smart, I will give him that. I never would have even considered taping the bottom of shoes to not leave shoe prints. We are lucky he couldn't resist the urge to brag about his crime or he likely could have gotten away with hundreds of murders😬
@@frankboff1260 Intelligence isn't mutually exclusive with boisterousness or even foolishness, especially when underage. He may be criminally insane. Probably is. That doesn't mean he isn't smart.
Thank you Mike for presenting these cases in such a respectful manner to the victims, you're an amazing story teller, and, I luv ya ❤️ May this sick, twisted mass of flesh get his karma in prison. Deplorable being. RIP to that sweet couple and animals he harmed 🥺
What "karma"??? It's not like he did it out of hatred, or malice. This guy was born defective, unable to feel empathy towards fellow human beings. He is, quite simply, broken as a member of society. Until we're able to come up with a way to physically fix this defect (there's no way in hell it can be done mentally, imo), then we really have no choice but to either remove them from society when the first signs begin to show, or do what we do today and let these non-humans roam free until they carry out their desires.
My favorite thing about this channel’s style is how he never seems to be reading off a strict script. It’s like he has notes to follow & authentically says what comes to mind based on each point ...either that, or it actually is a script & he’s just one of the greatest Irish actors of all time (there are only like twenty-tree of them so idk how much of a compliment that would be)
Hearing Mike tell us to take care of ourselves and the ever present ‘I love ya!’ is the reason I always stick around til the end..I know I’m not alone in this thought. 🙂❤️
I don't even need to say "keep em coming" because this guy aaaalways does, he always has. The most consistent channel I watch on RUclips. Never seen a bad video here tbh. Cheers Mike. Much love and respect mate 👏🏼👍🏻
what do you think of Mike's shirt..... some shirt company should sponsor him. I felt from first watching him, he says what most of us are thinking during the videos.
I've been a That Chapter fan for a while and am currently living in Davis. It is certainly exhilarating to have the channel visit this area, for better or for worse. Mike forgot to mention that Davis is also a top school in plant medicine too (I'm a graduate of the Plant Pathology department)!
What do people in your field do? Are you guys tackling plant specific diseases like blight or powdery mildew, or using plants to help with identifying and treating diseases in other organisms?
I used to work in the plant pathology department at Davis! I’ve been here a long time too and remember when this murder happened, it was definitely one of those things you don’t expect to happen in a place like this. Really interesting to learn about it in more detail
I can't fathom the number of lives saved by his peers (finally) speaking out. This young man could have ended up being one for the history books. He could have grown old with too many lives to count before being caught, or never been caught. Evil has no age, no remorse, no heart. Despite his being able to easily recognize he felt NOTHING but joy in his unimaginable act, his only comment was he wishes he wasn't that way, but was what he is. Too bad, so sad. His punishment should be made to dig graves by hand, attached to a 100 lb ball and chain for every murdered victim within Ca. until he's worked to death after digging his own. Maybe the number of murdered lives would end up meaning something to him.
He didn't "lose control" he made a choice. They are 2 totally different things. Most normal people have intrusive thoughts, that doesn't mean you act on them.
the fact that he left no clues at the crime scene means he made a choice to murder otherwise he would never have taped his shoes etc...but...then to tell friends about it without concern of being reported to police is very strange behavior even for a killer.....
Your sardonic reporting of these awful killers, is spot on ! Makes us care far more than the gruesome reportage we hear on a daily basis....Unless of course they come into our bedroom in the dead of night......
Hopefully he never gets released on parole, and the fact that TedTalk gave him an opportunity to speak is disgusting, after what he did. And him saying "there are no evil people" is pure BS, especially since he is one of them and now trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. Anyhow, thanks for the video... never heard of this one before.
Nah, he is right about that. Evil is a juvenile buzzword and it doesn't exist. Severely damaged people, however, do often do horrific things - just like he did. Doesn't in the slightest mean that he shouldn't be locked up for the rest of his life. If anything, we have a much better understanding why and how a criminal is beyond rehabilitation than if we just make up some voodoo shit reason why they commit the crimes they do. That only ensures nothing is ever going to be done about it because you already have your "answer" that they are just somehow, randomly evil. Yeah, that's not a thing.
Technically, psychopathy is a mental illness & those who 'suffer' have no choice. He DID say in the cop interview that he wished it were different (wanting to kill, having no sym/empathy etc). He is held responsible for his actions, but he cannot be held accountable for the mental illness. He had no choice in that. All is not lost tho; psychopaths are usu highly intelligent & can be 'trained' to NOT murder, but instead become Dr's, politicians, scientists, etc. (Imagine that, a manipulative psycho being manipulated & groomed lolol). They're intelligent enuff to see that religion & motivational speaking pay more bills than murdering harmless senior citizens. There's actual hope for the guy! Heh heh, I mean, sorta...
They gave this monster the platform of a TED Talk to preach his nonsense? Seriously? Who made THAT terrible decision? "Embrace our humanity!" Sounded like he was pretending to be a self-help guru. At least it has since been taken down, but I wish we knew why the choice was made in the first place.
If I were on the parole board, my first question to him would be, "Why are you here today?" I get the sense that he will not tell how murdered two people, but rather he will launch into the changed man spiel.
This one hits me a little personally. Parents divorced when I was young also, mom went to live with her girlfriend. Dad was a homicide investigator, and I wanted to be like him one day. Learned a lot about how crime scene investigation worked. Mom got t-boned by a drunk driver, got prescribed oxycontin when it was still new. Her girlfriend manipulated that, also did heroin. It eventually got to the point where I felt the only way I could protect my mother was to kill this person. Planned the whole fucking thing. 3 days before I was going to do it, mom overdosed. She moved away to rehab and live with her mother for a while, and I was free of it all. I'm so happy now I didn't ruin my life. I have a 3 year old daughter I would die for and I'd never have known such joy if I'd thrown it all away. Fortunately my only mental illnesses are ADHD and depression. Definitely not a psychopath. Was just an emotional kid who didn't see a way out.
Yeah my mom was a really severe alcoholic and she beat me, my siblings had already moved out at this point and I was by myself. One night she was drunk and in the tub I had my opportunity I calculated it I didnt do it though. Now I'm pregnant and legally my mom can't be around children anymore so my son will never have to go through what we did with her he will be safe. I'm so happy for you that you and your mom are safe an that you're happy
@@aintgonnatolerateit2314 wouldn't say I'm happy necessarily, but divorce and split custody my ex wife doesn't like to abide is the reason for that. Certainly safer and my daughter will never have to go through something like I did. On that i can rest assured. I'm happy for you getting out of that too.
I am sorry to hear that you had to live through this, but I must say that I totally understand your feelings. I also want to say that I’m proud of you for not doing it, although it’s hard not to want to protect our moms, and I hope you’re living your best life now. God bless
@@aintgonnatolerateit2314 gosh, it hurts my heart hearing these things, but I am very happy that you are here today and not locked up. I can totally understand the thought process considering what was going on, but it’s good to know that you made the right choice and you’re free to live and love. God bless
@@CoExist64 i really appreciate that. Mom and I will probably always have somewhat of a tenuous relationship but she's come a long way. I've learned that continuing to remain upset about some of my mother's let's say "less than desirable" aspects of her personality and things in the past I'm just causing myself pain that simply can't be fixed because a lot of it stems from me wanting someone of my mom that she just won't ever be. Same can be said for my dad but we've always been closer than my mom and I. All I can do is push forward. Unfortunately I'm living in a car at the moment because of a divorce I didn't see coming, but for my little girl's sake I'm not leaving this plane of existence yet.
Thanks for including the awkward little "what a weird..." after saying he was obsessed with serial killers. Nice subtle little joke, got a chuckle out of me! Pretty sure all of us on this channel are at least a little weird in that regard.

Hi Mike let's give it a gew!!
Bring back captain conspiracy!!!
This kid is scary as hell. His little Ted Talk shows that he is able to parrot back the kind of things that make parole boards and psychologists think he has changed. God help us if he gets out again.
He's in Cali, the land of early release 👀
Agreed! He will never change!!

@@limlaith 🙏🏾
As soon as someone tortures a pet or you even hear about it, get them on the radar with a cruelty charge. Even if it's an anonymous tip, even if it goes nowhere and it only means the police are aware of them. It's the worst sign that someone has escalating psychopathy that is not going to end well.
Truer words have never been spoken…
I treated a 7yo boy over 20+ years ago whose life took a similar trajectory to this kid. He lived on a farm that had dozens of cats running around. He'd leave the heavy front door ajar, snap open a can of cat food, and as they walked through the door, he'd slam it shut and snap their neck/spine. After not to long they had no cats left and the father found a 55 gallon drum full of decomping cats.
Unfortunately police can't do anything in many U.S. states as pets aren't considered as valuable as humans. Sad but true. It isn't right and it's heartbreaking.
I don't know what I'd do if I had a kid and they hurt an animal. I'd be like "Welp. Jimmy let's just put you in jail now."
@@SunShinyDaysPlease I don't understand the obsession with treating pets well when we live in a time of factory animal farming. Like people will call the cops on a dog being kicked but then will pay some guy to pull a pigs teeth.
What is actually scary is that this was the perfect murder..
If his friends didn't inform on him, no one would've known..
If his friends didn't inform on him he would have done it again. This guy should be locked up for life without any parole.
He was frighteningly efficient in his first murder considering what he actually did he didn't leave a scrap of evidence.
Had he not said anything to his friends there is little doubt he would have got away with this and God knows how many more.
Definitely a serial killer caught at the right time.
I think a perfect murder would of been that he didn't tell anyone
Actually, if he hadn't been dumb enough to confess, then he may have gotten away with it. That's murder 101.
@@bethstaley467 Okay can someone tell me this? What if Daniel Marsh never confessed, even after the phone call that was called in by his friend, who pointed at Daniel Marsh. What if Daniel Marsh said, he liked to get the attention and be an edgy teenager, and make up stories that if he hears about any murders in news, he would claim that he did it by appearing edgy and gaining attention. At that point, how would they have proceeded as I understand he never left any evidence. How would they pin him because the friends didnt actually see the murder. They only reported because of what Daniel Marsh told them and claimed its him, but if he had said he lied to his friends for attention?
He has the audacity to beg "don't ruin my life please" after he destroyed two lives completely?
Absolute monster.

@@ryanbesco8067 Daniel Marsh watched PARADIGM SHIFT 2070 and the message about old people really resonated with him

I had the same thought. Also I imagined they must have populated that audience with people who had relatives on death row. Anyone who applauded and vocalized in support of this monster must also have a lack of empathy themselves. Perhaps the audience members were a mix of sociopaths and psychopaths.
@@51Dss no it's because people who watch ted talks will clap like seals at anything.
Wow, that TED talk! Dude is growing up, getting smarter and more manipulative as he ages. He emulates a normal person very well. That tiny smirk he couldn't help letting go as the crowd applauses gives it away. It's a knowing smirk. He knows he's got them right where he wants them.
He reminded me so much of a cult leader in that TedTalk. That dude should never step foot outside a prison again.
I trust the idiot at 'Ted Talks' who decided this cowardly murderer of a sleeping elderly couple deserved a sympathetic 'TT' platform was fired!
Unbelievable the scumbag was put in front of an attentive audience and allowed to share his 'wisdom'. WTF? A narcissistic killer's wet dream.
that was scary
@@lailiakadaisy my exact thoughts!
The Ted talk audience should have to listen to his chat with the police before mindlessly applauding him.
That confession alone and explaining how much he wants to kill people and loves it, tells very clearly that he should never be released.
He deserves a second chance, we all do
@@FugueSt4te nah you lose the right to a second chance when you actively want to kill people. Bc a murder victim doesn’t get a second chance at life and no one should have to be his next victim.
@@FugueSt4te why are you defending him.
@@ibox9s Everyone deserves a second chance. If one evil person can be reformed and made to see the light out of a hundred, that's a win in my book.
@@FugueSt4te lmao and take the chance of them committing the same crime? no thanks.
The scariest part is if he hadn't told anyone what he did, it seems he would have gotten away with it.. And most likely killed again.
Also that there's many kids exactly like this and worse that haven't made their decision to kill yet
True
Yeah the detective said he would've gotten away they're weren't even looking his way... 🤦 But kids can never keep a secret or their mouth shut thinking that's gonna make them seem cooler.. 😏
He would have eventually got caught if he would have kept murdering.
Agree...
What a beautiful couple they were. Enjoying their golden years and not harming a soul. I always feel for the victims in these videos, but these two hit me a lot harder.
me too!
Same here
Those folks were still active and volunteering in their community. Terribly saddening.
I really hope I’m like this couple if I get there.
@@darenmiller2218 yikes 😱 god I hope not. That was brutal. But it’s your funeral
When you look at how absolutely horrific his first crimes were, and recall that serial killers tend to escalate as they go along...Christ, I can't even imagine what he would've done, had he not been stopped.
He definitely would have killed again and he would have continued killing.
@@johndavis9432 He will probably kill in jail.

@@TapDancerDood lol oh wait. This whole words hurt thing has gotten old! Grow a pair already
The fact that he, as a child was able to calmly resuscitate his dad and prevent a car accident just showcases another side to his psychopathy. Psychopaths don't really feel fear in the way a "normal" person does. It explains why they can function in such extreme situations. He could have used this for good but ultimately chose evil
When this kid said “it was pure happiness” after killing two old people cutting them open and removing their organs and placing objects inside them is just beyond F’d Up’d.
yeah its the only way psychopaths can feel anything that isn't just negative emotion. That's why they do it. It's probably a primal evolutionary adaptation meant to be the perfect warrior at any time in history, capable of killing calmly and accurately and without the emotional turmoil.
@Rapportus : yep, that's exactly why they do it. I studied this particular case for a criminal psychology class back in 2017. Hopefully this dude never sees life on the other side of the fence. Unless, say, the gov't uses him for some type of black ops or psychological testing. I think id be o.k. with that. Cheers!
Yea bud...killers are F'd Up
🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾
@@DekkarJr full blown psychopaths don't experience positive OR negative emotions.
The term psychopath is banded around a lot and linked to almost every single killer going, when in fact a psychopath is just as likely to kill as you or I, and in fact, a true psychopath is pretty damn rare.
They were the most Active 80 yr old people I have ever seen! They deserve immense respect. I'm 32 and they had more energy than me... WTF...

@Ben McReynolds I came looking for this comment. I am 35 and their lifestyle sounded exhausting. All I want nowdays is to hold my remote, scroll through RUclips on my flat sheet made bed and chillllll 😎
It's all about your mindset sometimes
It's past noon and I'm struggling to get out of my warm cosy bed,
I work in a hospital and it’s crazy to see how well some people age compared to others. Some are bedridden and frail by age 60 while others are still active and relatively younger-looking than their age at 80+. There’s a big difference in coherence and hearing as well in a lot of elderly people, as some are so hard of hearing where I use a white board and marker to communicate with them, and others know what I’m going to say before I even say it.
“I don’t feel any sympathy for those people at all.”
Mike, you killed it with your final comment. “We feel the same about you, Dan.”
Great episode as usual.
Rules for thee and not for me right. That makes you no better
"killed" it?...🤔
His Ted Talk sounded like the villain in a B movie where the writers wanted to make him appear to be a really convincing liar while also making it obvious to the audience that he's lying.
right? worst acting job ever
Right??? Wtf were the people at Ted Talks even thinking??
@@jhz614 They weren't. Charisma, remember? The things he SAID FELT good so clap, clap, you know?

YES, I THINK THAT YOUNG MAN IS A HERO FOR MANY! BLESS HIS HEART FOR TURNING IN A "FRIEND" THAT IS A MURDERER! I HOPE & PRAY HE'S DOING GREAT IN LIFE. BRAVO, JOB WELL DONE!
Very true, but it was really weird that he requested anonymity because his mom would send him to military school for... reporting a murderer. Kid's a goddamn trooper. o7
I was worried for him when they said they played the recording for Daniel. Like damn that poor kid is going to get killed.
@@Dragonatrix It could be that his mom would send him to Military school for hanging out with all these kids who knew what had happened weeks earlier and done nothing about it, nor did he tell his parents. Military schools teach young people how to have self respect and not be afraid to do the right thing, also life skills etc. Years ago they had clubs for children who taught similar skills (scouts)
He was told the day after the murders yet didn't report it for two months! Daniel went out 3 days after the first muders with a baseball bat to murder someone but luckily didnt find anyone. The friend just got extremely lucky that nobody else got killed.
There is absolutely no way he will get parole. Hearing him talk about how he would kill the police detective with no emotion was so chilling. And for his FIRST crime to be that gruesome and how he was able to leave no evidence behind, I can only imagine how much it would escalate.
I wouldn't be too sure. They let out white miscreants like this all the time, especially violent juveniles when they turn 21. He will kill again.
If he kept his ego in check and not told anyonr he could of become a truly terrifying serial killer, Let's be thankful most serial killers are idiots.
It's California. He absolutely could be released. They released thousands during CV and some were worse than this guy. I live less than an hour from Dixon (where this happened) and sadly our legal system is a revolving door here.
I beg to differ. Given he managed to manipulate prison officials into letting him do a Ted Talk while in prison already, I can't imagine how much more skilled he'll get at manipulating them over the course of decades!
@@anovemberstar I agree. Serial killer Edmund Kemper is an example. He learned how to fake it til he made it the first time around in prison after killing his grandparents when he was 15. After release years later he knew just how to con his parole officer & therapist, even leaving a therapy session he had scmoozed his way through while one of his dismembered victims was in the car trunk in the parking lot.
Man, this is a crazy one. If he hadn't told people about what he'd done, he might have been able to do this for a very long time. Glad his friend finally wised up because this kid was definitely not going to stop..
He probably would have killed his girlfriend next, seemed like he was already going to do that but got stopped
@@cuddlecakes7153 Yeah, especially knowing it's a compulsive desire. Sooner or later he wouldn't have been able to help himself. I can't imagine the fear she must've felt when he snuck in after knowing what he'd done to those people. Gives me chills..
@@informanti THE YOUNG MAN, STILL A BOY IN MY EYES, IS TRULY A HERO! BLESS HIS HEART FOR CALLING IN TO TURN THIS PSYCHOPATH OVER TO THE POLICE. WITHOUT HIM, WHO KNOWS HOW LONG HE WOULD HAVE KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE.

At the age of 10, his Mother left his Father for his female kindergarten teacher...
I met him once, his mom was a friend of my mom. Once my wife and I were helping bring some furniture from my mom's house to their house. It's quite a strange feeling to see someone you've met on That Chapter, let me tell you!
like you've dodged a human bullet
I had the same experience. I was hospitalized with him late 2012
crazy
What about the opposite To know somebody he should be on that list and he is not?
i was in juvenile hall with him.
"His mother never noticed anything off about him"
How deep in denial was she?!?
I get the feeling she was used to being in denial since she obviously denied her own sexuality for years! She left her husband for her sons female kindergarten teacher!!!
That’s like the plot of some hot porn!
wht abt the father?

Ofcourse she didn't. She was too busy wrecking a home.
mayhe someth wrong WRONG with her mind
'Nothing personal,' says Daniel Marsh when asked how he would imagine butchering the police detective.
I never really understood what the 'flat affect' meant in the context of the Psychopathy Checklist, but I totally get it now after seeing this terrifying, creepy, atavistic murderer's dispassionate response. Jesus, he answered as though he were only asked if he took milk and sugar in his tea.
In the childhood interview you can notice he has an extremely flat affect and unemotive gaze as well. I notice that profoundly neutral and open expression in peoples eyes sometimes and there is something terrifying about it. This sounds made up but the last time I really noticed it was in the lobby of a seedy motel, on a guy who I later saw punching a woman (he was almost certainly her pimp) inside a car in the parking lot from my window.
When you say "atavistic" do you mean he's a descendant of Cain? Or did I miss something about his family's past?
Kids acting, its obvious
Just watch some clips of Johnny Depp from the recent trial and you'll see what the definition of flat affect is lol
I can't believe they let this fkin monster give a TED talk, let alone that his entire TED talk was about how "he isn't a monster" since "monsters don't exist" and that he deserves a second chance..
Pff.
@@jonslg240 he’s not a monster. They don’t exist. That’s something humans do to separate ourselves from the terrible things humans are capable of. He’s very much a human. A very terrible human. He deserves every bit of punishment he gets, but don’t fool yourself. He’s human.
Id bet anything he didn’t just look for an open window. He went to their house because they were seniors and he wouldn’t fare well in a fight. This kid is pathetic.
Probably the same reason why he couldn't "find" anyone when he was roaming around with a baseball bat later.
Precisely
Thought the same thing
agreed. remember he was a scrawny 16 year old at the time. real scrawny...a 3 year old could have defended himself against this non-human.
My thoughts exactly
How you keep these dark stories light enough not to drag you down but also respectful is really impressive. Alot of people fail at that.
Jeez Mike, that was a brutal one. I don't blame his friends for being scared. That kid scared me too, and that poor couple. My lord, may they rest in beautiful paradise
He’s terrifying. He should be in a psych hospital if he gets parole. Dude never let that guy out.
@@isabellind1292 _They were kids_ And I think they were terrified of Daniel. The kid that called him in was likely both terrified and feeling guilty- terrified of his friend, but also feeling guilty for not contacting the police sooner. His comment about being sent to military school may have been completely fictitious- for all we know.
Instead of condemning his friends, how about focusing on the one that was brave enough to contact the police? If he had not done that, this would likely still be a cold case.

How the hell did he get to participate in a Ted"s Talk. The fact he was able to manipulate whom ever to be able to participate in a Ted's Talk is beyond frightening. Glad the family were able to "kibosh" that. He showed No remorse, stated he has no empathy for anyone.....Psychopaths don't change. They wait and manipulate to get what they want, for their own means, so whoever allowed him to do his little "performance", shame on them. (just my little old opinion). - Peace and Love to Everyone
It’s because society idolizes criminals these days.
@@graysonwilliams4826 very sad but true.
And all the losers applauding him. Disgusting!
Ted talk isn't a very prestigious show or platform anymore. It's just "can you talk about this sure go ahead " there's been several ted talks saying being fat is healthy. I'm not for fat shaming, but saying being obese is perfectly healthy is a bad message
tedtalk became trash years ago already. They ban incredible videos about consciousness, or alternative medicine or anything that doesn't go with the mainstream, yet they let people advocating for pedophilia and psychopath killers cry babies asking for mercy. It's been trash for a while and thank god they are tanking big time.
Wow, that TED talk was straight out of a satirical movie, like the Joker giving a speech before murdering everyone in the audience.
Honestly those who clapped, I wouldn't feel bad for them
People who applauded and cheered him after his TED talk need to be written down and investigated for the crime of stupidity.

His mother never noticed anything "off" with him? That tells me she was WAY too absorbed in her own life to care much for her own sons. Sad.
@@broeheemed32 I love the snappy reply. His mother was however fighting an extremely painful illness and is still fighting it today. So, though self absorbed, not selfish.
@@cynthiasisk2798 huh, interesting. Though is it bad to be "self absorbed" if you are suffering from a (what sounds like a lifelong) painful illness?
@@PoptartParasol it’s definitely bad for any children such a person may be the parent of. Which is the point.
@@PoptartParasol you could be the voice of his mom’s conscience! 😝
What’s the illness
He sounded like a cult leader in that small clip of his Ted Talk, I can't imagine the damage he would've caused if one of his friends didn't finally speak up to the police.
Real Talk. He was ready to turn them out.
Luckily they were smarter than they looked.
Even His silly gf was smart enough to get away from him
That was my first thought too. They will parole him and he’ll be the next Jim Jones.
I love how you cover things Mike, like dude the whole life insurance thing kills me every time.
You're clever af but you show a lot of care and empathy towards the victims.
Thanks for being s breath of fresh air in this community, we love you for what you do!
It’s a good reminder to put locks on your sliding windows. There are some that will allow you to open the window to a certain point. It helps prevent outsiders from breaking in.
Also, keep bushes and trees trimmed back and away from windows.
Keep a security system, cameras and dogs.
Wait wouldn't overgrown bushes help stop them because it makes it harder to get to the window? 🤔
I have bars on mine!
@@myunknownland9272 people can pick locks easily. Windows arent the only way in. Security, cameras and dogs... Even better- a person. Dont live alone. If someone capable is always at home with the security and cameras and dogs and a weapon when a psycho arrives ... You are safer.

@@AnnoyingTiger888 No b/c they can hide while stalking you & they can hide from your neighbours too.
Ok this one actually scared me a bit.. they had no evidence, no fingerprints or shoe prints. If he killed a few people after with the bat there's almost no way they could have linked anything to him. If he didn't brag he might have never got caught, snuck in snuffed them out and vanished with all the evidence. Scary
it's good he was a juvenile when he committed the murders. he had less impulse control to tell his friends.
if he was an adult when he committed these crimes it's likely he would never have been caught.
@@ze_doodles very true, very lucky
this is why i get so mad at some of these videos and ppl say "dont ever talk to the cops ever"
He could have added nicely to his tally. These killers never learn. I would never tell anyone. Just bask in the memories of the acts
@@ze_doodles Psychopaths operate VERY different to "normal" people. They do brag. Look at most of the cases even on this channel about actual psychopaths. They all brag in some way and that's usually what does them in. Be it on social media, to family, to friends, blogs, diaries, even to the police themselves. They all have the bragging as a common factor because of how their brain works.
If he wasn't a psychopath yet still did this it would be scarier because he probably wouldn't have bragged, thus making it much more difficult to catch him because a normal person would know bragging is the wrong thing to do if you intend to not get caught. Also if he wasn't a psychopath, he probably wouldn't have done it again but in this case he attempted to intimidate people by breaking into his exs house which is what started the chain reaction of him getting caught.
"Like an alcoholic who's done rationalizing and just picks up the bottle" absolute gold Mike, I love how insightful your snide remarks about some of these creeps are xD
I'm so amazed they gave him the platform for a TED talk. What was on the mind of the person giving that guy the green-light?!
Nah , not how it works
You have the main Ted events
then there are TED Talks that are put on by School , Uni's , Public Speaking forums.
You can essentially just ask to put on a Ted Talk, so Ted Talks probably had 0 knowledge of it. Whomever the original organiser was would be the reason why. Ted Talks have control about what is uploaded to the Channel though so that is TED talks fault
Having said all this TED talks are a shitty company anyway
How they treated Graham Hancock and Rupert Sheldrake is appalling.They will let a sick Killer try and gas light an audience, but they cant handle hearing about Psychedelic research or ESP research?
Not too warped priorities, oh no wait yeh they are f*cked
What's more amazing is morons clapped him!
A person like him doesn't have the slightest chance of recovery. The evil is in his nature! He's a danger for society.
My words !
Mike! I have only ever heard this true crime story based off of the killer being the "main character" . This couple sound like they were a credit to society and hearing about them was very respectful. Good on you x
What a horrible way to go. Here they were in their old age so happy to have found each other and BAM! Their lives were stolen.
@@VioletJoy and they sounded like the most lovely couple EVER! The terror and physical pain they must of felt. The protection and utter helplessness. The murderer is an evil monster.
Went to UC Davis few years after he was arrested & worked as a legal clerk during his appeal. People in Davis were very happy the judge decided to keep Daniel in jail, but to me the disturbing part was how the other kids didn't immediately turn the guy in....they only went to the police when they thought their own lives might be in danger.
I think they thought their lives were in danger from the very moment he said what he did, they were scared to provoke him into harming them and then decided they are in danger anyway, just because of the break up, so then it didn’t matter
That is very telling about their own lack of character and integrity.
@@joebrinson5040 I don't mean to be blunt but you have to be narrow-minded to just assume people have a lack of character and integrity because of 1 action they didn't take.
These are people as well, they have emotions like joy, fear, love, hate, and so on, you don't know what they are going through mentally when caught in what is a very sensitive and dangerous situation.
@@joebrinson5040 yeah I agree, but to be completely fair they were still kids, there is so many thing to teach them most educators don’t put a lot of pressure on “how to act when someone confesses murder to you”. Maybe they also really wanted to believe it’s not true, but again I am not trying to justify being in denial also, just a thought. Horrible situation all around :(
Why you lying like that ?
I’m born and raised here in Davis and hoo, boy, this was all spot on. I know a lot of people who went to school with Daniel (we both actually went to Davis School for Independent Studies, but I was a few years older and never crossed paths afaik) and they all said he was always a lil off but never thought he was capable of this. Basically the classic loner story. A coworker of mine’s best friend is the person that confessed to the cops what he knew. Still remember the news story about him saving his dad too. Crazy
That is crazy. I was a freshman at uc davis in 2013 and it’s stuck with me for the past 10 years. There’s no chance he will ever be rehabilitated, actual insanity to think he may get out one day.
I also lived in Davis around that time.. (I’m from Germany). I always had my windows open at night and my screen was broken.
@@DeviIInADress In California anything is possible
@@lulumoon6610 I was there from 2005 - 2012. So glad I left when I did! :)
He's terrifying. He has NO emotions... even when he's describing his level of excitement after killing them... he remains even-toned. I totally understand why everybody in his circle was afraid of him.
Shout out to the "friend" who was brave enough to call the cops and put an end to this- evil, monstrous, psychotic, serial killer in the making. He saved a lot of lives and I hope he knows it. ✊🏾👏🏾❤🏆🏅
No doubt he would have gone on to repeat that behavior.
I bet that one "friend" was scared for his own life...
I agree. not saying his medical excuse is legit, but a very common side effect of antidepressants is emotional numbness
@@aokijannick7616 That's very true. If nothing else, the medication probably just exacerbated things.
@@VioletJoy how did it exacerbate things? He said he felt a euphoric rush when he killed them; that’s not numbness. Imagine what he may have done if he’d been off the medication… his dopamine spikes would have been 2-10x the amount they would be under antidepressants. He would have undoubtedly gone on to kill again, and very soon. Statistically, that’s how those kinds of dopamine spikes perpetuate.
Not trying to @ you. I just don’t want antidepressants, which help many innocent people after devastating losses or trauma, to get lumped in with causes for homicide.
I was chilled by him talking so persuasively (it was definitely a pretense, learned, at what people want to hear on his end) at the Ted Talk, but more so by the applause for a psychopath by that audience. He's literally thinking about how to slice and dice them as he speaks, and persuading them to let that happen.
Consider who those people in the audience are. Ted Talks are junk, and the people who listen to them, well, I guess the kindest way to put it is that they aren't exactly the brightest. 😂
@@thankyouverymuch My actual point, if you read that again, is that he is in fact very persuasive, compelling, and clearly has been using his time to be more effective at luring. Making him more dangerous than ever. One shouldn't blame victims of killers, groomers, rapists, etc, for being lured or tricked by someone like him.
He should never be in the outside world again.
@@thankyouverymuch yah I agree lol. If you're the kind of person who goes to a Ted talk in person....I'm not surprised
His Ted Talk was a cheap portrayal of the protagonist in American Psycho”, right down to the slicked-back hair.😂
@@mdiddioI thought you were being sarcastic.
I spent twenty-five years as a psychiatric nurse, twenty of those years I worked on three different locked hospital units. I understand psychopaths in the academic sense, yet I am completely mystified how someone can feel pleasure hurting others. There is no hope for him. He is doomed. He will always be a monster. He should never see the light of day.
The fact that he already had thoughts of how he could kill the interrogator gives me the craziest chills . How does one find killing someone exhilarating or happy smh. Some people shud just be put out immediately. No time wasting
Hes a coward. What he likes is to feel like top dog thats why he only killed those two inocent helpless elderly couples
Wait don't we all have John wick fantasies about murdering everyone in a supermarket when we're waiting in line? No? Just me? XD
I kid of course I would never do that but I do like making up fancy fight choreography when I'm bored XD (again, not gonna murder anyone I promise)
@@zwenkwiel816 lol I feel like you were being honest
So strange to think ahead enough to leave basically no evidence at the scene, and then *immediately* confess to multiple friends the next day. I can't tell if his mind is so broken that he actually thought the police were his only threat, and his friends wouldn't care about a *double murder*... or if he was telling the truth about "not wanting" to feel the murderous way he felt, and basically decided after the fact that he wanted to be stopped.
Strange case.
Strange indeed
“ I’d choke you to death with your tie.
Bash your face through the wall. Nothing personal. “. 😂
One of the traits of antisocial personality disorder is difficulty in consistently seeing the future consequences of present actions. He planned the murder itself meticulously because that was the thing he was obsessed with, but didn't plan anything beyond that. It's not a matter of what he thought about friends or the police, it's that he simply wasn't thinking at that point.
He is a 100% psychopath who fucked up by telling his friends and HE KNOWS THAT. Luckily he didn't start killing later when he would've been a little smarter enough to cover that base as well. He fucked up and he knows it. This guy would've ended up being a serial killer for many years with many victims. If he ever get's out he will 100% kill again.
Solipsistic freaks usually just want to garner attention
@@00muinamir And just maybe he was really eager to get famous just like all those serial killers he admired.

Underrated comment
It's mind-blowing how people will fight tirelessly to shorten a prison sentence of an absolute psychopath but abused children fall through the cracks over and over without fail.....
AGREED.
A damn shame.
False dichotomy. You’re talking about two things which are totally unrelated
He is one of those abused kids that fell through the cracks. Neither of his parents cared about what was going on with him and his doctors had many opportunities to help him but didn't take it seriously enough and ultimately failed him and the people he murdered. My question is this; where do we draw the line between abused children who slipped through the cracks and psychopathic monsters to be locked away?
Liberalism is a mental illness. Always wants criminals to be freed.
it makes me so sad knowing that these beautiful souls were taken. they seemed so nice, people are so sick
Absolutely, the man survived WW2 to be killed by this POS.
His non-chalance during the interview & the way he describes his feelings after the murders is scary. If he's paroled, he'll kill again.
At the age of 10, his Mother left his Father for his female kindergarten teacher...
He may have fooled the TED audience but this shit isn't going to fly with forensic psychologists brought in during his parole hearing. They can see through this shit in less than two seconds. It's their job. They have P.hDs in this stuff and not even badass here is sly enough to get passed them. They see people try to fake this shit all the time.

Did not a single person get that someone like him doesn't feel empathy and can put on a charm act?
I know right?! Watching those few seconds I was appalled! Imagine what Oliver and Claudia's children and loved ones must have felt...
I went back to 14:38 the list of psychopathic traits, from just the 18 seconds clip of the *TED talk,* I can see that right away he checks 8 off the list:
1. Glibness/superficial charm
2. Grandiose sense of self worth
3. Need for stimulation
5. Conning/manipulative
6. Lack of remorse or guilt
7. Shallow affect
8. lack of empathy
16. failure to accept responsibility for own actions.
A difficult subject because it involves two totally innocent victims with not a single connection to a extremely depraved teen who just wanted someone- anyone dead. A young psychopath caught because of his own need to brag about his “adventures”. Thank you again, Mike for your sensitivity in regards to the victims when reporting this story. You succeed because you have a talent for lightening a dark subject without disrespecting the victims. Good on you! Have a wonderful day! Luv ya lad.
Hi Mike, this is Joanne from Tasmania Australia, hope life's treating well. Just watched the story about the youngest couple of killers in England. I believe strongly you choose to have a child 100 percent of unconditional love they receive from me for the rest of my life. I also have a strong voice that has values, ethics, empathy, and the love that is used as a teaching mechanism that has worked with my son. Parenting is a learned skill, you put the time into your child they learn quickly what is right and wrong, make a bad choice or do anything wrong I am still a 1oo percent your mum, I could never let my son down. Thanx for your amazing true life crime love Jo xxxxxxx
His manipulation levels are off the charts and you can see he has no remorse AT ALL. I truly hope he doesn’t get parole, ever. He would definitely do it again, and only work harder to not get caught this time.
Wow a extremely manipulative sociopath who'd have thought it. That's basically their trade mark as they are acting at humanity at all times and so coldly logically observe others and learn what makes them tick and what works. Especially with a Sociopath with narcissistic tendencies.
Oh man! Just leaving to see my hubby in the icu. He has covid pneumonia and is expected to fully recover. We have faith and hope.
I just wanted to let you know, I felt that at the end there. That's why hubby and I both love you. You are a genuinely authentic soul.

I'm new to this channel, but being a true crime fan I've seen and heard A LOT of podcasts/tv/movies, etc...

And this is why I'm not totally drooling crazy over "Ted Talks" like so many people seem to be. Some are great, don't get me wrong, but if something is a Ted Talk, I don't automatically think it's something that is a positive contribution to society, wise beyond imaginable, and must be watched in order for me to be an enlightened person.
What
True. He says," there are no evil people in the world". Yes there are my friend, and you're one of them. "Embrace your humanity", sounds like a line from the devil himself.
I think they started out always being positive contributions to society...but too many people got ahold of how to do it, and...yeah. Some are just a joke.
tedx is borderline or actual scam crap a lot of the time, ted itself was good like 10 years ago for a while and sometimes borderline scam crap now.
for young innovators they shouldn't really feature anyone young based just on promises their company will do etc
TED Talks are g arbage
Please never ever stop the , “Let’s give it a goo.” And the “I hear you barking big dawg.” And also the “Because I love you.” I live for this moments! And anytime you have to say anything with a t in it. Hell all of your jokes are amazing. We love you more Mike!! Thank you for all the amazing top notch content. Always my go to on RUclips!!!🖤🤍 Best content creator in my book. And one of the few who actually appreciates his followers like you do.
"Give it a goo" is funny. I hate dogs, so I'd rather not have the dog one, and I don't even remember him ever saying that, guess I blocked it out since I hate dogs. And the "I love you one", well, that's just not true. He can't possibly love every person who hears his voice. If there's any doubt about that, just look at me. Nobody who knows me loves me, so why would this random stranger give a flippin' goo about me? 🤣 I always try to turn off his video before it gets to the "I love you" part, because I don't need to hear that as a reminder that nobody cares.

My favorite is when he talks about Viet fcking nam!!
It's absolutely amazing to me how psycopaths feel great pain and anguish for themselves but virtually none for others. They trully can not take what they dish out.
Hearing him talk about how he always imagined killing people, and how exciting and exhilarating it was to kill those people was absolutely CHILLING and horrifying that people like him exist. Medication doesn’t make people do that. He should never be free. I agree with your comment about how we could say the same about him and not having sympathy because I definitely do not.
but kudos to the cop who already got the confession but made him talk about murdering others and describe how he would do it and what he feels, etc. because they know it can be very effective in court and on parole day (if that ever comes) With that puppy of a video he ain't going out ever!!!!
Yep meds don’t make you say The things he said during that interrogation. The only thing that makes a person say that is the actual love of killing
I have some sympathy. Kid was born a psychopath. There's no fixing it. That's sad. I'm sad people are born this way and we can't fix them. But he's where he needs to be, until the day he dies, for the protection of innocent people like his victims, who seemed like wonderful people.
I hope the guy behind him in prison tells him how excited and exhilarated he feels.
hes a psychopath. but psychpaths don necessary want to or enjoy killing people....thats just his fucked up head
This is definitely one sick puppy & I'm inclined to agree with you that his homicidal idea are not just going to go poof. I also don't believe he will suddenly be able to empathize with others or grow a conscience, so the longer they can keep him locked up the better. Thank you once again for an interesting case told only the way you can. Take care and remember we love ya.
there is psychopathic behavior (enviormentally induced by bad childhood etc) then there's born psychopaths. People to this day don't understand that born sociopaths or psychopath have nothing to do with the family, or school or anything. They are born this way, they've been always this way and it won't change.
"He became obsessed with serial killers...what a weirdo..." ha ha ha ha Oh Mike.🤣🤣🤣
"Unfortunately I guess he had no mirrors in his house" ahahah
Only you can narrate such a grim event so respectfully towards the victims while still roasting the murderers. Never change, Mike. 🍀
The fact that someone let him deliver a TED talk is the most insane thing to me
How in the hell does a murder get to do a TED talk? Especially when it's just a sob story. Yes there are evil people in the world especially one who would randomly kill and elderly couple for no other reason but he could
Money probably, I'm sure they thought people would pay a pretty penny to see a murderer talk
I've been on and off all types of antidepressants since I was 12/13 and I've never even thought of anything like that. That kid is just a monster.
Yeah. I know everyone has different reactions to medication, but all my antidepressants have removed any desire to hurt others, not strengthened them.
Even the interview with him when he was young and explaining his actions to save his father was chilling. The kid just had lifeless eyes.

You ha e to wonder if the old man didn't pass out drunk driving and the kid started pounding on him... The kid looked like he'd been coached to talk. The whole story with his parents seemed one giant lie. His main kick was lying and manipulating right up to that Ted Talk.
@SaVanityVan Psychopathy is just ASPD that's innate rather than developed (sociopathy is developed).
These murders were so preventable. He talked to adults about his homicidal thoughts for years before he acted on them. He was literally asking for help to not act out his horrible fantasies. That couple should never have been murdered
"This old couple" Daniel instantly giving away his guilt during interrogation! He lived right near them. He knew them personally. Poor attempt at distancing himself from the victims.
I think it's so bizarre that Marsh was so careful to not leave any forensic evidence behind, but then told his friends every detail of the crime. He probably could've gone on killing for a long time without being caught. Shows he wasn't exactly an evil genius/mastermind. I love your work, Mike, and everything about how you put these videos together. And I love your new shirt, very nice... and I love you, too 😊

@@FugueSt4teunfortunately? lol.
He's completely void of all human emotions and feelings, and the way he so calmly and casually described the way in which he killed the elderly couple and enjoyed it so much..........that's just terrifying. He will kill again when he's released from prison because he simply can't control his evil urges and he's probably counting the days until he gets to have that thrill again!

No one ever does.
Not crazy at all it's totally rational to not lock anyone up or take them seriously when they say such things. Happens more than you'd think and in 99.9% of times it's total fantasy.

May this sick, twisted mass of flesh get his karma in prison. Deplorable being. RIP to that sweet couple and animals he harmed 🥺
Mike slays!~
Well said.❤️
What "karma"??? It's not like he did it out of hatred, or malice. This guy was born defective, unable to feel empathy towards fellow human beings. He is, quite simply, broken as a member of society. Until we're able to come up with a way to physically fix this defect (there's no way in hell it can be done mentally, imo), then we really have no choice but to either remove them from society when the first signs begin to show, or do what we do today and let these non-humans roam free until they carry out their desires.
My favorite thing about this channel’s style is how he never seems to be reading off a strict script. It’s like he has notes to follow & authentically says what comes to mind based on each point
...either that, or it actually is a script & he’s just one of the greatest Irish actors of all time
(there are only like twenty-tree of them so idk how much of a compliment that would be)
@@kevindube7096 I was gonna correct your spelling of "three", before I noticed you already had it covered! Good job, Sir! ;)
Hearing Mike tell us to take care of ourselves and the ever present ‘I love ya!’ is the reason I always stick around til the end..I know I’m not alone in this thought. 🙂❤️
Yep, same here! 💜
Kinda creepy ngl..
20:16 The emotionless way he describes what he did - ZERO remorse. Should NEVER be let lose.
I don't even need to say "keep em coming" because this guy aaaalways does, he always has. The most consistent channel I watch on RUclips. Never seen a bad video here tbh. Cheers Mike. Much love and respect mate 👏🏼👍🏻
I don't understand how he manages to churn out such high quality stuff so frequently.
Perfect distraction while I fold my laundry. Mike makes stuff like this tolerable. I’m so glad I found this channel some time ago
what do you think of Mike's shirt..... some shirt company should sponsor him. I felt from first watching him, he says what most of us are thinking during the videos.
I've been a That Chapter fan for a while and am currently living in Davis. It is certainly exhilarating to have the channel visit this area, for better or for worse. Mike forgot to mention that Davis is also a top school in plant medicine too (I'm a graduate of the Plant Pathology department)!
What do people in your field do? Are you guys tackling plant specific diseases like blight or powdery mildew, or using plants to help with identifying and treating diseases in other organisms?
I used to work in the plant pathology department at Davis! I’ve been here a long time too and remember when this murder happened, it was definitely one of those things you don’t expect to happen in a place like this. Really interesting to learn about it in more detail
cool!
There’s a whole plant population here lol
@@WeBeatMedicare6969 yeah, we know. (I wrote this at 4:20) doesn't matter if it's am or pm, lol.
Thanks for your videos. You really make an impression and my day. Thank you so much.
This story is incredibly disturbing. Yes, there are evil people, and he’s one of them.
You could also say "sick" people. I think "sick" covers him best.
VERY. pls don't let him out....hes going to do again 😑😑
I can't fathom the number of lives saved by his peers (finally) speaking out. This young man could have ended up being one for the history books. He could have grown old with too many lives to count before being caught, or never been caught.
Evil has no age, no remorse, no heart. Despite his being able to easily recognize he felt NOTHING but joy in his unimaginable act, his only comment was he wishes he wasn't that way, but was what he is. Too bad, so sad.
His punishment should be made to dig graves by hand, attached to a 100 lb ball and chain for every murdered victim within Ca. until he's worked to death after digging his own. Maybe the number of murdered lives would end up meaning something to him.
You sound unwell too.
doubtful since he cant keep his mouth shut and bragged about it to everyone.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 and you sound soft
yeah there are tons of cases where fucking NO ONE ever tells anyone. see no evil, hear no evil
He didn't "lose control" he made a choice. They are 2 totally different things. Most normal people have intrusive thoughts, that doesn't mean you act on them.
But what if they drive you so crazy that you cant even walk normally with out having them?
the fact that he left no clues at the crime scene means he made a choice to murder otherwise he would never have taped his shoes etc...but...then to tell friends about it without concern of being reported to police is very strange behavior even for a killer.....
He wasn’t crazy either because he knew it was wrong and knew he could go to prison.
And people who are not normal can lose control of the intrusive thoughts, to the point of them being indistinguishable from your internal monologue.
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 Well if that is the case only then and I mean only then can you brutally murder elderly people.
Your sardonic reporting of these awful killers, is spot on ! Makes us care far more than the gruesome reportage we hear on a daily basis....Unless of course they come into our bedroom in the dead of night......
Hopefully he never gets released on parole, and the fact that TedTalk gave him an opportunity to speak is disgusting, after what he did. And him saying "there are no evil people" is pure BS, especially since he is one of them and now trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. Anyhow, thanks for the video... never heard of this one before.
Nah, he is right about that. Evil is a juvenile buzzword and it doesn't exist. Severely damaged people, however, do often do horrific things - just like he did. Doesn't in the slightest mean that he shouldn't be locked up for the rest of his life. If anything, we have a much better understanding why and how a criminal is beyond rehabilitation than if we just make up some voodoo shit reason why they commit the crimes they do. That only ensures nothing is ever going to be done about it because you already have your "answer" that they are just somehow, randomly evil. Yeah, that's not a thing.
@@girlwhomustnotbenamed4139 You are entitled to your opinion, as am I, and I stick with what I have previously stated.
He'll die in prison. The other inmates will deal with him
Technically, psychopathy is a mental illness & those who 'suffer' have no choice. He DID say in the cop interview that he wished it were different (wanting to kill, having no sym/empathy etc). He is held responsible for his actions, but he cannot be held accountable for the mental illness. He had no choice in that.
All is not lost tho; psychopaths are usu highly intelligent & can be 'trained' to NOT murder, but instead become Dr's, politicians, scientists, etc. (Imagine that, a manipulative psycho being manipulated & groomed lolol). They're intelligent enuff to see that religion & motivational speaking pay more bills than murdering harmless senior citizens. There's actual hope for the guy! Heh heh, I mean, sorta...
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian Oh get a grip
They gave this monster the platform of a TED Talk to preach his nonsense? Seriously? Who made THAT terrible decision? "Embrace our humanity!" Sounded like he was pretending to be a self-help guru. At least it has since been taken down, but I wish we knew why the choice was made in the first place.
If I were on the parole board, my first question to him would be, "Why are you here today?" I get the sense that he will not tell how murdered two people, but rather he will launch into the changed man spiel.
This one hits me a little personally. Parents divorced when I was young also, mom went to live with her girlfriend. Dad was a homicide investigator, and I wanted to be like him one day. Learned a lot about how crime scene investigation worked. Mom got t-boned by a drunk driver, got prescribed oxycontin when it was still new. Her girlfriend manipulated that, also did heroin. It eventually got to the point where I felt the only way I could protect my mother was to kill this person. Planned the whole fucking thing. 3 days before I was going to do it, mom overdosed. She moved away to rehab and live with her mother for a while, and I was free of it all. I'm so happy now I didn't ruin my life. I have a 3 year old daughter I would die for and I'd never have known such joy if I'd thrown it all away. Fortunately my only mental illnesses are ADHD and depression. Definitely not a psychopath. Was just an emotional kid who didn't see a way out.
Yeah my mom was a really severe alcoholic and she beat me, my siblings had already moved out at this point and I was by myself. One night she was drunk and in the tub I had my opportunity I calculated it I didnt do it though. Now I'm pregnant and legally my mom can't be around children anymore so my son will never have to go through what we did with her he will be safe. I'm so happy for you that you and your mom are safe an that you're happy
@@aintgonnatolerateit2314 wouldn't say I'm happy necessarily, but divorce and split custody my ex wife doesn't like to abide is the reason for that. Certainly safer and my daughter will never have to go through something like I did. On that i can rest assured. I'm happy for you getting out of that too.
I am sorry to hear that you had to live through this, but I must say that I totally understand your feelings. I also want to say that I’m proud of you for not doing it, although it’s hard not to want to protect our moms, and I hope you’re living your best life now. God bless
@@aintgonnatolerateit2314 gosh, it hurts my heart hearing these things, but I am very happy that you are here today and not locked up. I can totally understand the thought process considering what was going on, but it’s good to know that you made the right choice and you’re free to live and love. God bless
@@CoExist64 i really appreciate that. Mom and I will probably always have somewhat of a tenuous relationship but she's come a long way. I've learned that continuing to remain upset about some of my mother's let's say "less than desirable" aspects of her personality and things in the past I'm just causing myself pain that simply can't be fixed because a lot of it stems from me wanting someone of my mom that she just won't ever be. Same can be said for my dad but we've always been closer than my mom and I.
All I can do is push forward. Unfortunately I'm living in a car at the moment because of a divorce I didn't see coming, but for my little girl's sake I'm not leaving this plane of existence yet.
Thanks for including the awkward little "what a weird..." after saying he was obsessed with serial killers. Nice subtle little joke, got a chuckle out of me! Pretty sure all of us on this channel are at least a little weird in that regard.
