@TDM_Heyzeus Thank you for making this video! It was just sent to me, and I am grateful that even after time has passed, this tragedy has not been forgotten. Thank you, thank you, thank you. -Dominic Pizarro
This guy was a literal joke, he nearly hit other innocent people just minutes prior to going on the highway. He had ever resource to gather help but never did, he was all upset about losing his scamming scheme look it up. No chance he was a victim- he was a coward
@@witmilk6527: Walked? The other guy said ran. Did the police know he was autistic? Did the police know he was 13? Was he of hieght and/or weight proportions that would suggest he was older than he really was? Did the police have reason to believe he was armed? Was he running towards occupied buildings? Was he running towards bystanders? Was there reason to believe he was a threat to the public? That's the context I'm talking about. All you did was restate what the first guy said.
@@cgaqui5593 answer no he was not armed yes he was massive for a 13 year old (5'10) and he actually survived the shooting his mom said he would run and that he was autistic and 13 he was not running towards anything just away
Despite all I know about the story, I'd never seen that first clip. My initial suspicions were that he was having some kind of mental episode when he drove that day, your research definitely backs that up. 12:55 I think I actually asked him to take that video down at the time because of the amount it bashed drakemoon which was my main sponsor. Wasn't just me who was upset at his hypocrisy. I know for a fact he definitely wasn't broke, he also was for sure into crypto. Had conversations about crypto with him. Wish the police had taken him that day. Thanks for making this, took me back.
Great video Zues, spot on. A very sad story but anything can tip you over the edge whether it be pressure, stress or anxiety, it can trigger a mental illness at any time, some people are different to others. I myself have witnissed it. My thoughts to everyone involved. Keep up the good work brother!.
You should do a mental health charity stream thing with all of the CSGO names. Idk not directly for mcskillet. But like just for everyone. That’d be a cool thing to see done.
The amount of research and effort that went into this video is immense. I had no idea what happened to McSkillet and i must say it’s quite sad to hear about

@@stephenharrison4978 I don't care how depressed and anxious you are you should never kill other innocent people!! He didn't always have mental problems... Only started when he lost money i got no sympathy for him at all!! R.I.P to the mother and daughter.
I never realised this even happened until watching this. I quite playing CS around 2017 but remember frequently watching his content. What a completely preventable tragedy. Such a shame, but very good video nonetheless. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
As someone who went through an year of serious depression I kid you not it’s unbelievable how different your mind thinks in that state. The mental clouding is INSANE! You literally will be shocked how negative and unreasonable your thinking becomes, you would try your hardest to pull yourself out of that hole you keep digging deeper into but you will fail. A friendly reminded to always seek help if you think you are losing yourself, dont make the mistake I did and lose so much time. Heck dont make the mistake McSkillet made and lose your life all together, seek help. Heal!
@@lolhavefun9201 didnt. For many reasons. One of the biggest being I was afraid along with very low self confidence. Your brain keeps on saying to yourself “Come on, one big pull and you’ll be out of that hole you dug, in no time” but that ‘pull’ never comes.
@@lolhavefun9201 i just had to open up to my family. They called me home (since I lived in a different city) and believe me, I improved SO MCUH just by being around people I knew. It helps a lot, family, friends, all of them.
Oh woah ... Finally the full story of McSkillet, like we all knew about the car crash and that something wasn't alright but daamn .. this video clears everything out. It's really sad that he took 2 other lives with his. Everything that build up to this moment was not that well known. Really interesting video Heyzeus, love that i found your channel through out a Jake Lucky shout out, ever since i am watching you.
These stupid kiddies here just calling him a murder... oh man. Watch the video. Inform yourself about mental illness. And especially everything explained itself in the last 5 minutes of the video.
@@RandomDudeOnRUclips the same people that shoot up schools are called murderers and they have mental illness. McSkillet did not have to take those lives with him and he did. Do not justify murder.
@@YumiiSauce If thats your point, then i'll Accept it. But thats Not really the Same... Watch the Last 5 mins about the Video... It was Like he was challanging himself that He could Drive in the wrong direction, but this time on a Highway.
Incredible video, I was part of the crowd who despised Mcskillet for his actions but this video changes a lot, this entire situation was so unfortunate, rip Mcskillet and the mother and daughter
The first thing anyone thinks when they hear the story is "That man was suffering from mental illness" everyone knew that and some people decided that was a fair argument, most didn't. That's all it was.
oh my god I had no idea how dark this would become. Im new in the csgo community and McSkillet is a name I have herd. I assumed he was banned or something and I didnt know the full story. God dang Thank you for educating me Heyzeus my prayers go to The Pizarro family and Mcskillets too.
Idk whose more at fault here, the San Diego Police not doing anything about the whole thing or Valve banning shit trying to combat gambling only to make it worse
2013 - 2016 CSGO was on a different level man... It's probably just nostalgia but the skins were such a cool and original consept back then and something about them was magical. The game is still great but has lost a lot of its charm
I think we were just young tbh, it felt way more magical to me as well but I was born in 2000, grew up with cs 1.6 so cs go was a massive part of my life during my early and middle teens. Played it since the beta, of course. Now at 22 it absolutely is not the same, for me that is. I imagine for other teens and kids it feels just as magical.
I almost don't want to say "rip" but at the same time I watched every single one of his videos back in the day. It's kinda hard to find a balance between someone you like, and someone who did something horrendous.
He was mentally ill. A sane person wouldnt do that. I have family members with history of mental illness, I rather die than scold them for the things they've done under manic episodes. They werent in control
Right??? The second I heard the Iconic intro I had a flashback to when I would imitate his voice to my friends over skype and say the intro and they’d all think it was funny
Dominic is a strong man to forgive mckillet for what he did to his mother and sister. If it were me I would’ve been wishing for the worst and wanting to do the worst to the murderer. I hope Dominic and his family have a good fortunate future
It’s truly sickening how people in the community decide to “take sides” and only take 1 of 2 perspectives. Nobody deserves to commit suicide, and nobody deserves to be killed. Incredibly sad situation for all involved, and all the ignorance from the police was the main factor. Sad.
It might have not even been suicide, he didnt know what the fuck was going on, he thought he could just clip through the cars if he went fast enough. its just sad how it would have been avoided if the cops did their job
@@oochiboo8047 This still doesn’t dismiss the fact that he is a murderer. Mental health problems or not, I don’t see how someone can even side with McSkillet.
@@oochiboo8047 I understand that, but I see people in the comments acting as if McSkillet's actions can be excused on account of his mental health and the police's inability to do the right thing.
Can we just give props to heyzues for not monetizing or putting a sponsored intro on this video. Edit: I don't think that he shouldn't earn money for his hard work, this was a very well made video and yes he did wait two years. I think monetizing this video would have been completely fine. Not sure about a sponsor though unless it was going to a charity although even if he did I still wouldn't mind all that much.
@Electr It... definitely *was* McSkillet's fault. Yes the cops and docs could've reacted faster but the reason the two innocents died is because of McSkillet.
@@ok-ue7yl no no no it's noone's but valve's fault. Poor mcskillet, should've not killed innocent people, but I miss him and hope karma hits valve, death to all valve employees
This video is so hard to watch. I remember crying the day I heard about this. We all wanted to be mad at mcskillet for taking the lives of others but we couldn’t. He was such an influential person in me and my friends lives and he was battling his own demons and felt like that was the only way out. Miss you buddy.
Mental health is something everyone needs to be more sensitive and aware of. It's horrible that he took other people with him, and that he committed suicide the way he did, but if our health care system worked properly & held him until he got better - and people had tried to help him instead of being oblivious, he & all 3 of them would still be here.
how tf would anyone know about his mental health issues if he didn't tell anyone? There was no indication whatsoever that he was going thru all this. His problems that he kept to himself don't justify the killing of two innocent people. I can only imagine what the family of those two people must be feeling knowing people are justifying their killer.
@@adityabhardwaj875 Not everyone can, or wants to, open up about their mental stability. In some families, it is seen as a disease and the person is considered a manic even before he goes crazy. They are treated as an outcast. This behavior in turn actually descalates their mental stability even further. Not every family upbringing knows how to deal with a mentally unstable person. I know this because I have held off talking about depression to my family. But even then, I seek help from my friends and peers.
@@adityabhardwaj875 I dont think anyone here wants to 'justify' the horrible act, we are just saying that there is more to it then just some stupid 18-year old in a sports car driving recklessly
Firstly, I had no idea he was that young. With that deep voice and the way he spoke, I figured he was at least mid 20's. No wonder he went off the rails like he did. What he did was absoluteIy horrific, no question, but I can't lie and say I didn't miss his videos for a long time after he was gone. I tried to get into turbomotionz but he wasn't for me. Luckily though, I found a fellow aussie who was real good at this 'making videos about skins' biz, and I haven't looked back.
age has nothing to do with it, i knew a 40 year old mother who had like a 1 year old kid and a happy marriage who killed herself and on the outside she seemed totally normal and happy, i also know a family where the mother is in her 60s and had a $150,000 gambling debt and just suddenly starts screaming sometimes
Turbo was kinda my way to go next too. But I quickly figured that he was no guy to deserve appreciation, when his channel took a big hit, someone tried to help him with advice and he simply denied and sent us fuck off.
as someone living in france and out of touch with the news i was heartbroken to learn by my coworker that a "notorious csgo youtuber" as he stated passed away in a trafic accident. Mcskillet was really the last person i expected. I wish that he rest in peace as well as the mother and daughter he unfortunately dragged with him.
Dominic God bless him. Lost his mom and sister. In his heart he has forgiveness. I'm a psychiatric nurse I can only imagine how manic his behaviors were. It's a shame the cops didn't take a more proactive approach. Prayers to the families
can we take a second to admire the heart of dominic pizarro in this situation? theres absolutely no way in hell id be able to think that clear taking into consideration what he had to go through 22:05
What person is going to go on air and rip apart a deceased beloved RUclipsr? The kid played it smart, showed the good, choir boy religious side on interviews and TV and radio. But you know behind closed doors and with his family who also lost those same loved ones he calls McSkillet every name in the God damn book. I bet he's said and thought about the things he would have done to McSkillet if he ever met him, and we can't even begin to fathom them. No body loses their loved ones and feels sympathy for the person who killed them. (unless of course he wanted his family dead which is equally disgusting).
This was actually really well made. Whenever it comes to mental illness, people don't understand that a person can completely change in the matter of days. McSkillet took his life out in anger. Etika took his life out in embarrassment after his actions were made public and was ridiculed. God knows the amount of times other RUclipsrs have been accused of career-cancelling allegations which easily could have taken them down the same route. Communities are hurt everywhere.
who's Etika i've been on the internet since 2015 when i was young, didn't start going on news sites until 2019 and only got into csgo in 2018 pls explain
I used to watch all of his videos as soon as he'd release them. He was the reason I started playing csgo. McSkillet was in my eyes, someone who, like you said, just couldn't get the help they needed. He deserved better.
moments before disaster. it's extremely eerie. there's nothing left to your imagination, that is him, 20 ish minutes before crashing that very same car. that guy trying to talk to him is probably the last person mcskillet ever talked to, we have no idea if mcskillet said anything back but whatever he did was enough for the stranger to know that something was seriously wrong past trespassing and vandalism.
@@Dontrespondtome169 it wouldnt be called mental illnes if he could think his actions through. but you will probably never get it anyway your brain is probably too underdeveloped to even get a mental illness :/
It’s just so crazy, I remember my mom coming up to me and saying “a youtuber that makes videos on that game you play just died in a car crash” I was so surprised and when I saw the name mcskillet on ccn I just couldn’t believe my own eyes. My heart goes out to everyone affected by his actions
I was a big mcskillet fan back in the days, but ever since he "left" I haven't watched a lot of csgo skins videos. Great job on this video and nice to see someone overtaking the "king of skins" title!
@@prof_aw3som014 A manic episode is characterized by a sustained period of abnormally elevated or irritable mood, intense energy, racing thoughts, and other extreme and exaggerated behaviors. People can also experience psychosis, including hallucinations and delusions, which indicate a separation from reality.
Dominic, the guy who lost his mom and sister in the accident, is just a hero of this story for me. It is unbelievable he was able to see the whole context of McSkillets life in such a hard moment like losing his close family members. He is a great example of what religion should be about. I am a Christian and it made me feel sad that most of the believers, and me as well, would not be able to act like Dominic. Huge respect
@@mcchickennugMy bad for speaking about all Christians, but Catholic Church has no official statement regarding evolution, so it's up to individual according to them. However most Catholics that I know (inc. me) believes in evolution, because science.
I really appreciated his content and what he did in the end was very wrong I feel sad that he came to such a low point he didn't see any other solutions
@@Dzonnyg The thing is, he wasn't in his right frame of mind. no matter how many times you would've told him this is wrong just as his parents were trying to do,it wouldn't get through to him. He was just lost at that point. The perfect storm.
Damn, I really wish the cops did something to help him that day. He wouldn't have liked it but at least he and the two innocent people he killed would still be here today.
@@mazevlad2263 uhhh idk dude are you familiar with California’s laws? I’ve known people that’ve gotten 5150d for a lot lot less. They would’ve been within their rights to take him in to a psychward. This is honestly why we either need to get cops better training or have someone replace a lot of their responsibilities that they clearly aren’t qualified for. Dude needed serious mental help and was a clear danger to himself and others, if you have a psychiatrist making that kind of call to police or even a concerned family member they can and often do take you in to a psychward at least for an interview.
@@NotSoMax Police officers don't have the final say when it comes to involuntary institutionalization in a mental facility. Officers uphold the law and must follow it as it is written. Its very difficult to have someone institutionalized against their will, blame the court system for it's broken processes not the cops who are forced to follow them.
@@ant1952 first off the courts should 100% not be giving cops more responsibility, second in the case of a 5150 the cops do a small “interview” then they take them to an institution and the institutions gets the final say. I’ve seen perfectly calm people taken in to an institution by police, the institution released them immediately after the interview but they were still taken in against their will. In this situation no mental institution was even given the opportunity to evaluate him when it was already expressed by his family and a medical professional that he was at risk of hurting himself or others. This is not a rare occurrence but it’s something that cannot be solved by “giving police more power and freedom” when you consider how often they already abuse the power and freedom they already have, and how often that abuse of power disproportionately effects those struggling with Mental health not to mention POC and the waman.
Fantastic video, I had almost forgotten about McSkillet but this video just goes to show that everyone should learn something from other peoples situations too, not just your own experiences.
This is where a ridgid system fails, for all it's benefits of consistancy it has severe downsides. I don't really know if there is a good soultion to it.
For real. Mcskillet was clearly a derranged individual, and lets not forget that the police did absoutley nothing to help. I would go as far as to say that they caused those deaths. Moral of the story: police in America fucking suck so bad.
Nah Mcskillet can rot in hell. Dude killed himself over pixels in a video game 💀 dude cheated and got banned and then took an innocent mother and daughter with his useless life.
@@kevindoingthings7874 I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just wondering what could've happened if that was the case. Would history would've been rewritten? It's just a monologue of mine.
@@aturfhee.3727 All over there is a large mental illness epidemic. But especially in California. With all the homeless and various other reasons. This wouldn't get any better though since all the rioting and "defund the police" campaigns have led most CA based law enforcement departments to cut programs. The LAPD has cut their mental illness special section due to the "outrage" and "protests".
@@Xanth1um It’s not necessarily bad that cops are cutting programs like that, as most if not all “defund the police” advocates would rather have medical experts respond to cases of mental illness. There are countless of stories of police being inadequately trained to deal with people having mental episodes, panicking, and killing them. There has been a recent program, forgot which city, in which a medic and trained psychiatrist were sent to instances of mental health related issues, with very promising results.
yeah i know its 2 yrs ago but i was also goin to school back then and we all moved on in life, hearing that mcskillet voice once again gives me chills like i havent heard this voice in decades
I remember watching the news and checking twitter, because I saw McSkillet trending. I always loved watching his videos and that. It was crazy to me, that a year after I moved from San Diego(I'm originally from SD), I find out he was also from there and that he did everything that led him to his demise. I feel like, this gave me some kind of closure of what was going through his mind at that time. I was randomly thinking of the dude, and somehow this video popped up on my feed(wasn't even watching a CSGO video or anything). But thank you for this video. This was very informative and shed some light to what happen to him.
One day. I was walking in a mall in AbuDhabi, my home town, at the time I had remembered my English and science teachers from 4th grade subliminally. I was thinking about them and I didn't know why I was thinking about them. But I missed them and I wished I'd see them again. That city is big and it's rare to meet people randomly. I was grade 12 so that was 8 years since I've seen them. Well I met them both in that mall somehow. It's just some magical shit man. They're both sisters BTW McSkillets story is heart breaking.. Life is so shit. It's like fortnite battle Royale. How ever good you are, if you get surrounded by 3 people then that's just unlucky. Doesn't matter. You'll just die. Life is hopeless like sometimes.
He was one of my favorite cs go youtubers... I really miss his videos. And as a person with a mental illness myself, I felt very sorry for McSkillet back then despite other people wishing him to rot in hell, some just have no idea what impact a mental illness can have on your mind.
You cleared up so much hate with this video. You did a really good deed making this video mate. I hope you accomplish all your goals on RUclips because you're a decent person.
That comment you made in the last 10 seconds was hitting the nail on the head TDM, mental illnesses are not something that should be taken lightly nor dismissed. That video was emotional to watch towards the news footage but I had to finish watching it all, now I finally understand more and my opinion of him still stands. He was a good man and his head was in a seriously bad place at the time and in his right frame of mind he wouldn't harm anyone. It was a tragic event for everyone who knew him both online and personally so thank you for covering this and I hope it helps everyone to better understand him and that situation overall
I want to become a therapist when I grow up, and hopefully I can help people like him. Mental health ain't no joke, it can be some damaging stuff.. poor guy. Keep up the great work, Zeus!
So glad you made a video on this, feels like no one really properly covered this story or wanted to speak about it, despite it being one of the biggest and most tragic things to happen with CSGO. RIP
He’s a murderer. A crybaby who can’t handle pixels online and killed 2 innocent people because of his inability to cope. You should not give this person a platform.
@@TDMHeyzeus he killed innocent people because he couldn’t handle pixels. You can defend him as much as you want and you can also Insult me as much as you want he’s still a murderer.
hey, thank you so much for making this clear and conscious video. Mental health problems are much more serious than many people think. This is much more common than people realize. No matter how smart, rich or promising someone is. Thoughts and prayers for the other family and thoughts and prayers for McSckillet's familly. I loved watching his content. It was super abrupt when he 'suddenly' disappeared.
No it really isn't that common. He was an autistic psychopath with a monotone voice, no human connections and a life lived in front of his computer. He had a meltdown. That's really all there is to it.
@@BumboLooks He had a manic episode days before all of this.. In the police report, they talked about how he went 150 in a 25 the day before this, saying even if the police chased him the bullets couldn't even catch him. He obviously had a manic episode. All that stress at the perfect age to develop bipolar disorder and/or schizophrenia causes this.
Mental Health is something that is very serious and very sensitive, its an illness people don't choose to be mentally ill and its something that more people need to be aware of, it effects the way you think, the way you look at things, your actions, how you perceive the actions of others as well as many many more things, people think mental illness and depression is just someone being weak minded and sad but its not, mental illness can effect anyone someone having a perfectly normal life can become mentally ill just as easily as someone living the worst life possible. outside factors like bullying, rough life patches, losing your job, losing loved ones ect don't cause mental illnesses they just enhance them they make it worse they kick you while you are already down so its not fair to just judge someone on there actions without actually trying to understand the situation they are in first, my brother has suffered from mental illnesses since he was about 12-13 and we didn't know it at the start, he become paranoid, insecure and stressed, people at school figured out that something was wrong and instead of helping they bullied him, he put on weight, tried to avoid school as much as possible, gave up sports and barely left his room and we didn't know what to do none of us had experienced mental illness before so we didn't act accordingly because we didn't know what the right way to act was, he has attempted suicide 3 times and i wont get into details about that because its private and frankly hard to talk about but he said he had never contemplated it before and it had just gotten stuck in his head one day, for me it was the hardest time of my life so far and i learnt a lot from it, we know have a good support system around him and although hes not "cured" hes in better shape now then he was back then. if you see a friend or loved one having some problems or showing signs that something is wrong then talk to them, its really not that hard to ask if they are ok its only 3 words Are You Ok, sometimes people need someone to talk to and try to help them and if you don't know how to help someone there are helplines out there that will help you help someone, suicide helplines aren't just there to help the person in need they are also there for people who need the help to help someone in need, they take it very seriously and will listen and give advice to you even if you are not the one in need. if you are in need of help yourself just give them a call, seek help and talk to people about it and in most countries the helpline is toll free and it might just save your life. Huge respect for Dominic Pizarro, i wish more people thought the way he does the world would be a better place if they did.

I left the CS:GO Scene in right before all of this happened. I myself had made a bit of money via CS and had a fairly decent inventory, so when the whole trading scene began to crumble I sold all of it at a loss and left the game. MCSkillet was the channel who got me into the game and skins, but I stopped watching him months before he posted his last video. Today I felt nostalgic and checked his channel only to find out about what happened. I'm honestly shocked about the whole thing and the fact that I didn't hear about it when it happened
Just discovered your channel yesterday (and started playing CS a week ago) You are amazing The way you cover the content is fascinating The content you choose to talk about is fascinating You are amazing - keep up the incredible work - Im sure you will explode soon - you deserve it! Much love from Israel :)
Mc Skillet was just way to young for his success. He could not handle the stress when some things went wrong and when you are in a tough situation etc. That is exactly the sort of stuff you learn while studying for example. Just the ability to fight your way through problems and to never give up.
@@TheVirumXD actually it does, he did not expect to get set back this much. When you're not aware something like that can happen to your or how to deal with it, it can crush ones ego.
Studying isn't even remotely comparable to the insurmountable stress, anxiety and depression bipolar people experience. When you enter a manic state, you have no control of your actions. His age also had nothing to do with it. Plenty of 18 year olds have faced the Taliban, ISIS and Al-Qaeda in the middle east. They completed their mission, or they gave their lives trying; but they didn't start offing themselves. This is a simple, yet very complex case of untreated mental illness.
@@mouthwash8182 What are you talking? I did not even claim that Studying is comperable to bipolar people experience?! You should honestly read before writing some random stuff. I said he probably could not cope with the situation that the ban of his sites and steam account enforced on him since he is so young and did not study for example where you learn how to deal with a insane amount of stress. But he was so young that he has never experienced anything like that.
thank you for this very eye opening video. putting a light on this makes me wonder why no one tried earlier. very unfortunate to have someone's name be so soiled for so long after his death. i hope he finds peace knowing that someone shared his full story.
Jesus, Zeus. This is one hell of a good video. I'm looking forward to a future where more and more people will be aware of the importance that mental health has and the risks it poses, for both the individual and the collective. These kinds of videos spread that message. Definitely one of your best.
Excellent video, Heyzeus. I feel like McSkillet's content did a lot for the community and regardless of his actions outside of his youtube videos he should be remembered for how informative his videos were and the glamour he brought to a understated trading scene.
Even if He was “broke” he was also a child lol and he grew up in the same place as me it was an upper middle class suburban area and his parents most definitely could support him even if he was a NEET. It’s also a very isolated bubble of rich people whose kids have no life perspective. Most likely he sacrificed his high school education/social life for csgo and thought his life was over/purposeless. It’s probably rough when you are the only person you know who didn’t go to college and is still at home with no friends and no foreseeable future. Being stuck there alone where there are only children and parents in their 50s would make any young adult go crazy, trust me. But yeah, with just some years of hard work he could’ve found himself back on a normal life path compared to his peers.
Really appreciate this documentary and the big effort on your side, that's really high quality content! You somehow replaced the missing puzzle part in RUclips's csgo skins industry for me personally!
@@inaki.arambarri And unable to control himself which led to him murdering a mother and a 12 year old. Do you not blame drunk drivers for killing others? McSkillet may have had some shit going on but regardless he was a worthless human for being selfish enough to take half of a family with him.
@@Frostyev you're no one to judge him, pretty sure you've not been in that situation and you never been in any of the two positions (mcskillet or for example, the father of the family). still, i understand what you say because it is a very fucked up case. much respect to you bro
I am heart broken for him Holy sh*t he had a hard time. That must've been a nightmare.. Could someone have saved him before this escalated like that? I'm so sad for him. His dad tried to stop him that day. Oh my God he must've been feeling like hell.
@@TheOperatorKB I'm heart broken for all of them dawg. Everyone. McSkillet + McSkillet's family, as well as Aileen & Aryana and their family. I'm not usually soft but this shit is heartbreaking. If only the laws were different and he coulda got 5150'd things would've been different
Not only the saddest or darkest page in the history of CS:GO, but one of the far too many dark pages in the history of mental health. Mental health should not be taken lightly, and I personally want big video games to launch a huge campaign, considering the fact that video games are alot of potentially mentally fragile peoples place to escape from reality. If we came together as a community, to try to heal together, it could have a huge impact. Great video, by the way! Shed some much needed light on a very dark subject
@@cu8903 He had a mental illness that could've been prevented if he was in police custody and gotten the help his parent asked for and pleaded for. Wishing eternal damnation to someone who no longer had control of his body and his mind at such a young age is disgusting. The entire point of this video is that no one is to blame here, but instead the fact that this was because of our ignorance over this kind of shit. If someone were to take over your body, and to kill 2 people without having that will yourself and getting told to go to hell but thousand if not millions of people, how would you fucking feel.
@@redz_2d Oh cry me a river, saying he "no longer had control of his body and mind" is you basically absolving him of any wrong doing because "it's not his fault". No it was his fault I don't give a shit what he was going through he could've just offed himself like a normal person but no he had to speed 100mph down the wrong side of the road to hit someone head on and kill a mother and child. Fuck outta here with your "no one is to blame here" nonsense. Mcskillet is to to blame for his actions. Not some mystical mental illness monster that comes in to take all the blame like an omnipotent being. If I go and kill 2 people it's not "someone taking over my body" it's me, hell you could say any murderer ever is mentally ill because it's not within the norm of a healthy functional person to do that, but no one says it's not Jeffrey Dahmers fault that he killed 17 people, it's not some magical person that took over his body, it was him even though he was diagnosed with multiple disorders and mental illnesses. People who think like you is why everyone is soft with no accountability for their own actions.
man if there is one cs content creator out there right now that deserves a million more subs, it is you. every single video you post is either extremely entertaining, educational, or just amazing and interesting to find out about things like this
I was on the freeway when he did this, wondering why the whole highway had been shut down for over an hour. When I saw the crash, I realized that based on my location before the freeway shut down, had I gotten on the 805 five minutes earlier, it would have most likely been me that he hit and not that family. Later that day i found out more about what happened.. but I never knew why he did what he did, only what he did. Ive always wondered about the context behind why this happened. Very interesting video, thank you.
I have already seen like 10 comments saying "if he did not hit that car it would be me because I was on that highway that day"... Seems like he would be able to duplicate himself and the car if he did not hit the family.
Damn. I feel like a lot of people either didn't want to cover this because of the subject, but damn, you did a really good job. I knew about McSkillet, but this clears everything up.
Extreme respect for just ending the video stating that mental health is a serious issue, instead of others would go straight into a sponsor that they had and just have an upbeat mood for the rest of the video.
I felt bad for Mcskillet i pity him bcs he could have a great future he had so much Potential to be a great RUclipsr but he went the wrong path..mental Illness took over him driving him crazy R.I.P For the people who Passed away in this incident

Despite all I know about the story, I'd never seen that first clip. My initial suspicions were that he was having some kind of mental episode when he drove that day, your research definitely backs that up.
12:55 I think I actually asked him to take that video down at the time because of the amount it bashed drakemoon which was my main sponsor. Wasn't just me who was upset at his hypocrisy.
I know for a fact he definitely wasn't broke, he also was for sure into crypto. Had conversations about crypto with him.
Wish the police had taken him that day.

I quit CSGO in 2017. This video felt like a bullet right in the heart.

True dat
Me too. I didn’t even know about any of this till now. I used to love his videos back in the day wow

2013 - 2016 CSGO was on a different level man...
It's probably just nostalgia but the skins were such a cool and original consept back then and something about them was magical.
The game is still great but has lost a lot of its charm
I think we were just young tbh, it felt way more magical to me as well but I was born in 2000, grew up with cs 1.6 so cs go was a massive part of my life during my early and middle teens. Played it since the beta, of course. Now at 22 it absolutely is not the same, for me that is. I imagine for other teens and kids it feels just as magical.

@@DaddyDagoth Naa early CS:GO was a better game. The game imo went to crap with the danger zone update and changing the classic gun sounds.

I almost don't want to say "rip" but at the same time I watched every single one of his videos back in the day. It's kinda hard to find a balance between someone you like, and someone who did something horrendous.
He was mentally ill. A sane person wouldnt do that. I have family members with history of mental illness, I rather die than scold them for the things they've done under manic episodes. They werent in control

yeah i was still in school back then, now that im working it feels like its 2017 again hearing that voice again.
Dominic is a strong man to forgive mckillet for what he did to his mother and sister. If it were me I would’ve been wishing for the worst and wanting to do the worst to the murderer. I hope Dominic and his family have a good fortunate future
It’s truly sickening how people in the community decide to “take sides” and only take 1 of 2 perspectives. Nobody deserves to commit suicide, and nobody deserves to be killed. Incredibly sad situation for all involved, and all the ignorance from the police was the main factor. Sad.

Mental health is something everyone needs to be more sensitive and aware of.

Mental health should be taken seriously
how tf would anyone know about his mental health issues if he didn't tell anyone? There was no indication whatsoever that he was going thru all this. His problems that he kept to himself don't justify the killing of two innocent people.

@@adityabhardwaj875 You're wrong. There were many indications. Watch the video dude.
@@adityabhardwaj875 Not everyone can, or wants to, open up about their mental stability. In some families, it is seen as a disease and the person is considered a manic even before he goes crazy. They are treated as an outcast. This behavior in turn actually descalates their mental stability even further. Not every family upbringing knows how to deal with a mentally unstable person.

Firstly, I had no idea he was that young. With that deep voice and the way he spoke, I figured he was at least mid 20's. No wonder he went off the rails like he did.
What he did was absoluteIy horrific, no question, but I can't lie and say I didn't miss his videos for a long time after he was gone. I tried to get into turbomotionz but he wasn't for me. Luckily though, I found a fellow aussie who was real good at this 'making videos about skins' biz, and I haven't looked back.
damn rip turbo
age has nothing to do with it, i knew a 40 year old mother who had like a 1 year old kid and a happy marriage who killed herself and on the outside she seemed totally normal and happy, i also know a family where the mother is in her 60s and had a $150,000 gambling debt and just suddenly starts screaming sometimes
Exactly this.
Turbo was kinda my way to go next too. But I quickly figured that he was no guy to deserve appreciation, when his channel took a big hit, someone tried to help him with advice and he simply denied and sent us fuck off.
I totally forgot about Turbo. I'm not sure but his channel got banned or something and left RUclips altogether. He banished completely.
as someone living in france and out of touch with the news i was heartbroken to learn by my coworker that a "notorious csgo youtuber" as he stated passed away in a trafic accident. Mcskillet was really the last person i expected. I wish that he rest in peace as well as the mother and daughter he unfortunately dragged with him.
Dominic God bless him. Lost his mom and sister. In his heart he has forgiveness. I'm a psychiatric nurse I can only imagine how manic his behaviors were. It's a shame the cops didn't take a more proactive approach. Prayers to the families

This was actually really well made. Whenever it comes to mental illness, people don't understand that a person can completely change in the matter of days.
McSkillet took his life out in anger. Etika took his life out in embarrassment after his actions were made public and was ridiculed.

Like a lot of people say mental illness doesn’t justify your actions how many people committed murder and blame it on mental illness.
I used to watch all of his videos as soon as he'd release them. He was the reason I started playing csgo. McSkillet was in my eyes, someone who, like you said, just couldn't get the help they needed. He deserved better.
That first clip of him leaving in the car, gave me some seriously uncomfortable chills down my back.
moments before disaster. it's extremely eerie. there's nothing left to your imagination, that is him, 20 ish minutes before crashing that very same car. that guy trying to talk to him is probably the last person mcskillet ever talked to, we have no idea if mcskillet said anything back but whatever he did was enough for the stranger to know that something was seriously wrong past trespassing and vandalism.
surprisingly his car didn't look too bad from behind seeing as tho it apparently smashed his father car repeatedly and then smashed through a fence
This flipped my whole perspective on McSkillet. Until now, I have had nothing but resentment for him. Now I just feel sorry for him

@@ant1952 first off the courts should 100% not be giving cops more responsibility, second in the case of a 5150 the cops do a small “interview” then they take them to an institution and the institutions gets the final say. I’ve seen perfectly calm people taken in to an institution by police, the institution released them immediately after the interview but they were still taken in against their will. In this situation no mental institution was even given the opportunity to evaluate him when it was already expressed by his family and a medical professional that he was at risk of hurting himself or others. This is not a rare occurrence but it’s something that cannot be solved by “giving police more power and freedom” when you consider how often they already abuse the power and freedom they already have, and how often that abuse of power disproportionately effects those struggling with Mental health not to mention POC and the waman.

Nah Mcskillet can rot in hell. Dude killed himself over pixels in a video game 💀 dude cheated and got banned and then took an innocent mother and daughter with his useless life.
I live not 2 miles from the on ramp where he did that horrible deed. still gives me chills every time i drive by it.
Things could've unfold differently if only the cops took him.
@@kevindoingthings7874 I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just wondering what could've happened if that was the case. Would history would've been rewritten? It's just a monologue of mine.
@@aturfhee.3727 All over there is a large mental illness epidemic. But especially in California. With all the homeless and various other reasons. This wouldn't get any better though since all the rioting and "defund the police" campaigns have led most CA based law enforcement departments to cut programs. The LAPD has cut their mental illness special section due to the "outrage" and "protests".
Cops usually won't mess with people in nice cars because it means they are powerful and rich so they can easily get them fired.
@@BoleDaPole true. I've experienced it myself, the cops here are discriminating by how good is your vehicle and the way you dress up.
@@Xanth1um It’s not necessarily bad that cops are cutting programs like that, as most if not all “defund the police” advocates would rather have medical experts respond to cases of mental illness. There are countless of stories of police being inadequately trained to deal with people having mental episodes, panicking, and killing them. There has been a recent program, forgot which city, in which a medic and trained psychiatrist were sent to instances of mental health related issues, with very promising results.
I remember this guy back in the day. The day after he died me and my boy in high school were literally speechless
yeah all the jokes my friends made were just dark humor mcksillet jokes lmao
He died 2 years ago. It wasn't that long.
@@XanderNiles wow it feels longer than that lol. how time flies
yeah i know its 2 yrs ago but i was also goin to school back then and we all moved on in life, hearing that mcskillet voice once again gives me chills like i havent heard this voice in decades
If he only killed himself I would of been sad for him, but the fact that he killed a mother and her daughter makes him a selfish prick
I love watching random rabbit-hole videos about subjects I only barely associate with.
I remember watching the news and checking twitter, because I saw McSkillet trending. I always loved watching his videos and that. It was crazy to me, that a year after I moved from San Diego(I'm originally from SD), I find out he was also from there and that he did everything that led him to his demise. I feel like, this gave me some kind of closure of what was going through his mind at that time. I was randomly thinking of the dude, and somehow this video popped up on my feed(wasn't even watching a CSGO video or anything).
But thank you for this video. This was very informative and shed some light to what happen to him.
One day. I was walking in a mall in AbuDhabi, my home town, at the time I had remembered my English and science teachers from 4th grade subliminally. I was thinking about them and I didn't know why I was thinking about them. But I missed them and I wished I'd see them again. That city is big and it's rare to meet people randomly. I was grade 12 so that was 8 years since I've seen them. Well I met them both in that mall somehow. It's just some magical shit man. They're both sisters BTW
McSkillets story is heart breaking.. Life is so shit. It's like fortnite battle Royale. How ever good you are, if you get surrounded by 3 people then that's just unlucky. Doesn't matter. You'll just die. Life is hopeless like sometimes.
He was one of my favorite cs go youtubers... I really miss his videos. And as a person with a mental illness myself, I felt very sorry for McSkillet back then despite other people wishing him to rot in hell, some just have no idea what impact a mental illness can have on your mind.
You cleared up so much hate with this video. You did a really good deed making this video mate. I hope you accomplish all your goals on RUclips because you're a decent person.
That comment you made in the last 10 seconds was hitting the nail on the head TDM, mental illnesses are not something that should be taken lightly nor dismissed. That video was emotional to watch towards the news footage but I had to finish watching it all, now I finally understand more and my opinion of him still stands. He was a good man and his head was in a seriously bad place at the time and in his right frame of mind he wouldn't harm anyone. It was a tragic event for everyone who knew him both online and personally so thank you for covering this and I hope it helps everyone to better understand him and that situation overall
I want to become a therapist when I grow up, and hopefully I can help people like him. Mental health ain't no joke, it can be some damaging stuff.. poor guy.
Keep up the great work, Zeus!
Didnt know it was mcskillet until now, i was shocked beyond belief
So glad you made a video on this, feels like no one really properly covered this story or wanted to speak about it, despite it being one of the biggest and most tragic things to happen with CSGO. RIP
rip to the family but mcskillet naaah
Fun facts: that adultlike voice is just a 15yo kid, lmao
Talking about someone voice... I wonder why Heyzeus voice kinda high pitch now(compared to his few years ago)
@@xanniieeyy cause adult voices are always higher
@@dreamcastdazia4753 pfft logic
@@muhilham5237 Idk why it happens either bur for a lot of people when they watch videos of thier teenage self their teen voice is deeper
Heyzeus voice is like Dota2 Bowie
He’s a murderer. A crybaby who can’t handle pixels online and killed 2 innocent people because of his inability to cope. You should not give this person a platform.
@@TDMHeyzeus he killed innocent people because he couldn’t handle pixels. You can defend him as much as you want and you can also Insult me as much as you want he’s still a murderer.
@@Burgerklauer He had 10 million dollars at the time of his death still. The pixels didn't mean anything. He just had some sort of mental illness.
hey, thank you so much for making this clear and conscious video. Mental health problems are much more serious than many people think. This is much more common than people realize. No matter how smart, rich or promising someone is. Thoughts and prayers for the other family and thoughts and prayers for McSckillet's familly. I loved watching his content. It was super abrupt when he 'suddenly' disappeared.
No it really isn't that common. He was an autistic psychopath with a monotone voice, no human connections and a life lived in front of his computer.
He had a meltdown. That's really all there is to it.
@@BumboLooks He had a manic episode days before all of this.. In the police report, they talked about how he went 150 in a 25 the day before this, saying even if the police chased him the bullets couldn't even catch him. He obviously had a manic episode. All that stress at the perfect age to develop bipolar disorder and/or schizophrenia causes this.
@@blocksource4192 Very cool Minecraft/Roblox autistic child anon.
Damn I didn’t realise he was only 18. He was pretty much still a kid
Mental Health is something that is very serious and very sensitive, its an illness people don't choose to be mentally ill and its something that more people need to be aware of, it effects the way you think, the way you look at things, your actions, how you perceive the actions of others as well as many many more things, people think mental illness and depression is just someone being weak minded and sad but its not, mental illness can effect anyone someone having a perfectly normal life can become mentally ill just as easily as someone living the worst life possible.
outside factors like bullying, rough life patches, losing your job, losing loved ones ect don't cause mental illnesses they just enhance them they make it worse they kick you while you are already down so its not fair to just judge someone on there actions without actually trying to understand the situation they are in first, my brother has suffered from mental illnesses since he was about 12-13 and we didn't know it at the start, he become paranoid, insecure and stressed, people at school figured out that something was wrong and instead of helping they bullied him, he put on weight, tried to avoid school as much as possible, gave up sports and barely left his room and we didn't know what to do none of us had experienced mental illness before so we didn't act accordingly because we didn't know what the right way to act was, he has attempted suicide 3 times and i wont get into details about that because its private and frankly hard to talk about but he said he had never contemplated it before and it had just gotten stuck in his head one day, for me it was the hardest time of my life so far and i learnt a lot from it, we know have a good support system around him and although hes not "cured" hes in better shape now then he was back then.
if you see a friend or loved one having some problems or showing signs that something is wrong then talk to them, its really not that hard to ask if they are ok its only 3 words Are You Ok, sometimes people need someone to talk to and try to help them and if you don't know how to help someone there are helplines out there that will help you help someone, suicide helplines aren't just there to help the person in need they are also there for people who need the help to help someone in need, they take it very seriously and will listen and give advice to you even if you are not the one in need.
if you are in need of help yourself just give them a call, seek help and talk to people about it and in most countries the helpline is toll free and it might just save your life.
Huge respect for Dominic Pizarro, i wish more people thought the way he does the world would be a better place if they did.
You said it best
Millions of people struggle with depression everyday. Not many go out and commit a murder suicide on innocents. He was an evil dude the end
@@Lelbron6 you know depression is just one form of mental illness right? The lady literally said “I think he is manic”
Just asking someone if theyre ok will never help.
@@Lelbron6 A manic episode is characterized by a sustained period of abnormally elevated or irritable mood, intense energy, racing thoughts, and other extreme and exaggerated behaviors. People can also experience psychosis, including hallucinations and delusions, which indicate a separation from reality.
I completely agree that what he did was wrong but in that age losing that much money,getting hate would probably have a bad effect
I left the CS:GO Scene in right before all of this happened. I myself had made a bit of money via CS and had a fairly decent inventory, so when the whole trading scene began to crumble I sold all of it at a loss and left the game. MCSkillet was the channel who got me into the game and skins, but I stopped watching him months before he posted his last video. Today I felt nostalgic and checked his channel only to find out about what happened. I'm honestly shocked about the whole thing and the fact that I didn't hear about it when it happened
Just discovered your channel yesterday (and started playing CS a week ago)
You are amazing
The way you cover the content is fascinating
The content you choose to talk about is fascinating
You are amazing - keep up the incredible work - Im sure you will explode soon - you deserve it!

Good luck, it's a rough game to get into.
@@plebisMaximus
Haha TNX :)
the ranking system is pretty rough
welcome to cs. rough getting into it in 2020 lol. stick with it tho
Mc Skillet was just way to young for his success. He could not handle the stress when some things went wrong and when you are in a tough situation etc.
That is exactly the sort of stuff you learn while studying for example. Just the ability to fight your way through problems and to never give up.
that has nothing to do with the mental illness he suffered
@@TheVirumXD actually it does, he did not expect to get set back this much. When you're not aware something like that can happen to your or how to deal with it, it can crush ones ego.
@momorain i totally agree to this
Studying isn't even remotely comparable to the insurmountable stress, anxiety and depression bipolar people experience. When you enter a manic state, you have no control of your actions. His age also had nothing to do with it. Plenty of 18 year olds have faced the Taliban, ISIS and Al-Qaeda in the middle east. They completed their mission, or they gave their lives trying; but they didn't start offing themselves. This is a simple, yet very complex case of untreated mental illness.
@@mouthwash8182 What are you talking? I did not even claim that Studying is comperable to bipolar people experience?!
You should honestly read before writing some random stuff.
I said he probably could not cope with the situation that the ban of his sites and steam account enforced on him since he is so young and did not study for example where you learn how to deal with a insane amount of stress. But he was so young that he has never experienced anything like that.
This video brought me back... I got goosebumps.
This video actually flicks some light, hope that human can rest in peace now. 🙏
Anomaly: "I Just Subbed to McSkillet 2 Weeks Ago, He Doesnt Upload Much Why?" -2018
Can u link that video where anomaly subbed to og :
Anomaly actually subs a long time ago
Yeah anomaly is funny. It was a good joke
what video
which video
thank you for this very eye opening video. putting a light on this makes me wonder why no one tried earlier. very unfortunate to have someone's name be so soiled for so long after his death. i hope he finds peace knowing that someone shared his full story.
damn this video was waaay deeper then i first thought it would be.
This video is an emotional roller coaster I went from love to hate to pity
You know its serious when theres no autotuned burping in the background
ok
Lol
Mann huge respect for Dominic to be able to say something like that after having his family killed like that.
genuinely good look into his life and a good way to spread awareness about mental health.
Jesus, Zeus. This is one hell of a good video. I'm looking forward to a future where more and more people will be aware of the importance that mental health has and the risks it poses, for both the individual and the collective. These kinds of videos spread that message. Definitely one of your best.
You know it's serious when he mentioned tmartn and didn't make a cs lotto joke
Bruh, I remember my mom coming into my room and asking was mcskillet the csgo guy I watched.. I said yeah and she dropped the bomb

Now show her this
did you defuse the bomb?
One of the best yt vids I've seen in a while. Good stuff 👏
RIP McSkillet. never knew all this happened but i used to watch all his videos. Rest easy
rip to everyone in the situation. the family didn’t choose to die there, and mcskillet didn’t choose to be mentally ill. a tragedy all around
@@BBB_187 he didn't, we was mentally ill. He couldn't control himself rip to everyone in this situation
Damn, I’ve never known the full story. Thanks for shining a light on this
Excellent video, Heyzeus. I feel like McSkillet's content did a lot for the community and regardless of his actions outside of his youtube videos he should be remembered for how informative his videos were and the glamour he brought to a understated trading scene.
😢😔rip mcskillet
lmao no. he killed 2 people. fuck him
@@Terjecs RIP McSkillet
@@LuManKrix why tho lol
@@Terjecs because he was a young human being
@@LuManKrix he killed 2 people. one MUCH younger than him. no rip for him at all
Even if He was “broke” he was also a child lol and he grew up in the same place as me it was an upper middle class suburban area and his parents most definitely could support him even if he was a NEET. It’s also a very isolated bubble of rich people whose kids have no life perspective. Most likely he sacrificed his high school education/social life for csgo and thought his life was over/purposeless. It’s probably rough when you are the only person you know who didn’t go to college and is still at home with no friends and no foreseeable future. Being stuck there alone where there are only children and parents in their 50s would make any young adult go crazy, trust me. But yeah, with just some years of hard work he could’ve found himself back on a normal life path compared to his peers.
Really appreciate this documentary and the big effort on your side, that's really high quality content!
You somehow replaced the missing puzzle part in RUclips's csgo skins industry for me personally!
With McSkillet I made my first inventory, truly a sad ending for him. R.I.P man
@Ferdinand Vanko of course, but don't forget he was also a human.
@@inaki.arambarri And unable to control himself which led to him murdering a mother and a 12 year old. Do you not blame drunk drivers for killing others? McSkillet may have had some shit going on but regardless he was a worthless human for being selfish enough to take half of a family with him.
@@Frostyev you're no one to judge him, pretty sure you've not been in that situation and you never been in any of the two positions (mcskillet or for example, the father of the family). still, i understand what you say because it is a very fucked up case. much respect to you bro
@@Frostyev drunk drivers chose to drink. McSkillet didnt choose to have a manic episode. doesnt make him a good person but he also wasnt selfish
@@lolpop7799 episode or not he made the decision to take others' lives. a real POS

Holy sh*t he had a hard time. That must've been a nightmare..
Could someone have saved him before this escalated like that? I'm so sad for him.
His dad tried to stop him that day. Oh my God he must've been feeling like hell.
I am not heart broken for mcsKILLet. I am heart broken for the family of the people he mcskilled.
fuck him, he took 2 innocent lives with him
@@TheOperatorKB I'm heart broken for all of them dawg. Everyone. McSkillet + McSkillet's family, as well as Aileen & Aryana and their family. I'm not usually soft but this shit is heartbreaking. If only the laws were different and he coulda got 5150'd things would've been different
Its hard to be smart and successful and balance youth and life and well being. Easy to flush it all away after a bad spell of luck.

Not only the saddest or darkest page in the history of CS:GO, but one of the far too many dark pages in the history of mental health.
Mental health should not be taken lightly, and I personally want big video games to launch a huge campaign, considering the fact that video games are alot of potentially mentally fragile peoples place to escape from reality. If we came together as a community, to try to heal together, it could have a huge impact.
Great video, by the way! Shed some much needed light on a very dark subject
his death was really sad to me i legit grew up watching him i remember waking up and refreshing his chanel almost every morning back in 17

@@draincel Has your attitude towards McSkillet changed after you found out why it happened? I'm just curious
not rip, hope he is in hell
@@cu8903 He had a mental illness that could've been prevented if he was in police custody and gotten the help his parent asked for and pleaded for. Wishing eternal damnation to someone who no longer had control of his body and his mind at such a young age is disgusting. The entire point of this video is that no one is to blame here, but instead the fact that this was because of our ignorance over this kind of shit. If someone were to take over your body, and to kill 2 people without having that will yourself and getting told to go to hell but thousand if not millions of people, how would you fucking feel.
@@redz_2d Oh cry me a river, saying he "no longer had control of his body and mind" is you basically absolving him of any wrong doing because "it's not his fault". No it was his fault I don't give a shit what he was going through he could've just offed himself like a normal person but no he had to speed 100mph down the wrong side of the road to hit someone head on and kill a mother and child. Fuck outta here with your "no one is to blame here" nonsense. Mcskillet is to to blame for his actions. Not some mystical mental illness monster that comes in to take all the blame like an omnipotent being. If I go and kill 2 people it's not "someone taking over my body" it's me, hell you could say any murderer ever is mentally ill because it's not within the norm of a healthy functional person to do that, but no one says it's not Jeffrey Dahmers fault that he killed 17 people, it's not some magical person that took over his body, it was him even though he was diagnosed with multiple disorders and mental illnesses. People who think like you is why everyone is soft with no accountability for their own actions.
@@brandonmoore9440 POV: you didn't watch the video and just want to bash out mcskillet so you can get attention but only end up being a idiot
man if there is one cs content creator out there right now that deserves a million more subs, it is you. every single video you post is either extremely entertaining, educational, or just amazing and interesting to find out about things like this
I was on the freeway when he did this, wondering why the whole highway had been shut down for over an hour. When I saw the crash, I realized that based on my location before the freeway shut down, had I gotten on the 805 five minutes earlier, it would have most likely been me that he hit and not that family. Later that day i found out more about what happened.. but I never knew why he did what he did, only what he did. Ive always wondered about the context behind why this happened. Very interesting video, thank you.
I have already seen like 10 comments saying "if he did not hit that car it would be me because I was on that highway that day"... Seems like he would be able to duplicate himself and the car if he did not hit the family.
i never missed a mcskillet video. i also made a trade with him. he over paid me . seemed like a good guy
everyone who knew him said he was a good guy cause he was a good guy, sad to see his mental state deteriorate like that
