It all sounds like virtue signaling to me which is EQUIVALENT to what you guys are doing. That being said I too am not racist and would like to virtue signal! The main thing is your actions. Pointing out other people being racist, and saying it is bad can be something racist people do to take the heat off themselves. For instance the main stream media says racism is bad, but they base EVERYTHING off of race and identity politics. It's just cool to attack white for racism, and Christians as an example for bad religion, but if you attack another religion or race is only when it's bad. Most of you liking the OP comment would say white privilege is a thing and isn't racist to say, but if someone said I'm not racist I have a black friend, you think that's a bad statement lmao. I was homeless, had a single mom who make 8k a year for the first 10 years of my life that she was working, when she couldn't find a job at all we were just homeless. Had terrible acne over 100 pimples in high school. I hear people all the time talking about white privilege and not knowing what it's like to be judged for your skin if you are white. Yet I think being black after the 90's, and not having 100 pimples, and a good family is possibly a little more privileged. So you shouldn't just say all white are more privileged no matter what. Not that you said that, or in the comments below, but I know it's how over half you think. I just hate virtue signaling so much people are so fake and people are hypocrites with double standards, that's all. So I kind of agree with you, but at the same time especially the comment below being like" it's even worse because blah blah blah". Like I actually don't see what is so bad about saying your daughter used t help an asian kid at school. What's wrong if someone did a bad action and then said that to cover it up. Just saying it though isn't bad. If someone really did have a daughter help an asian kid at school, and isn't racist, yet you have people saying" that's so racist" Sorry what? Get real problems
The fact in the Vincent Chin case that he actually says "I didn't do it on purpose-it's not like I walked up and shot somebody"-So he accidentally grabbed a baseball bat and hunted Vincent down then beat him to death That is even more purposeful than a drive by shooting. Trying to justify what he did is obscene.
At "best" he could have done is smacked Chin once, and Chin mightve been hurt. Depending on where he smacked, Chin could've died from a single hit, but that depends on the strength of the hit and the location. And I doubt Chin would've stayed still for that, since of course he immediately ran away. So him saying "its not like I shot him" after hunting him down, got other guys to pin him down, and beat him to death, for all we know till his brains were paste, is insane and blood boiling
this is what i’m saying, bro admits to killing him, but not on purpose? it was “racially motivated” but it’s okay he killed him, because it wasn’t just a “normal murder” instead of a racially motivated murder? 😭 like this country makes no sense
Imo it is worse because you have to focus where you’re swinging and have multiple swings to cause damage (especially with a wooden bat) whereas with a gun you just pull a trigger, and with a gun you could also accidentally shoot or a someone without the knowledge on how firearms work could fire and kill somebody, but they didn’t think about it and do it multiple times.
@@KingOfTheMice He also went out of his way to chase him down with other men. If it was just shoving and then he shot Vincent while fighting one on one- there could even be reasonable doubt that it was self defense. Not saying it’s likely, but that’s what the defense would be in court.
Just imagine being as resilient as Judy. Imagine surviving fucking cancer twice, addiction, recovery, again addiction, an abusive boyfriend, being BURNED ALIVE and still going. What an absolute legend. Judy did not deserve to go that way and the man who did that to her is the reason why Hell should exist.
she is a truly incredible woman. her story is crushing & heartbreaking but her resilience is just something i have no words for. it’s also one case where the judge actually did some things that benefited the victim that many wouldn’t have such as showing her deposition & not allowing him in the room while creating her deposition & took judy’s wishes into account when sentencing. i hope that her family has gotten the support they deserve & are doing well despite what they went through (& that her murderer is rotting in jail & having a terrible life)
The way people will jump to defend a man's intense, ego driven, violent outburst just because they "think hes actually a really good guy when you get to know" is the single most frustrating thing in this world to me. There's truly no limit to what people are willing to excuse to not have to change the status quo of their daily lives
even worse is that for a lot of people 'a really good guy' is usually just a guy who is friendly with them but treats everyone else like subhumans instead
@@jeremiahbrisso3680 Murder is a very heinous crime in of itself, Vincent did not deserve his life to be taken over a bar fight. It was what led to the murder and what happened after it that makes it frustrating. The fact that his killers were seen as good people, the way people said it was an accident, the fact that his killers didn't get jail time for taking a life. Those people downplayed Vincent's death bc he wasn't a white man. Had Vincent killed those two guys instead? People would've wanted him dead. For me as a black person, with cases like these, it's the racial injustice/inequality that frustrates me the most. Racism is the biggest killer for people like Vincent and I.
22:14 Saying “I am not aware of that they have a plight” when having directly contributed to their plights by brutally murdering one of them without consequence is CRAZYYY
I actually screamed, "you murdered one" when he said that. The lack of awareness, remorse and accountability when he gruesomely murdered a man is insane. To act like Asian Americans don't experience discrimination and injustice when you got away with a hate crime is horrifying to me. These are the cases where I want vigilante justice
@ right?! 😤 I was so shocked by the audacity of that line in particular that I shot up outta my seat when I first heard it. And for some reason, the fact that he was stupid enough to even say those things on record at all honestly makes me MORE angry than if he was ‘smarter’ (for lack of better word) about hiding his racist motivations. Because it only further shows that didn’t even have to be cunning to get away with murder, he just had to be a white man with some money to spare.
Legimately, being like “i don’t know that Asian Americans have any plight, and i certainly wasn’t being racist towards the one i beat to death with a baseball bat!” Is so fucking ridiculous it would almost be funny if it weren’t so enraging.
Man it gets worse, bc he says "I am not aware that they have a plight, in fact my daughter was helping an asian kid at school once" like hello? The only thing you know about asians is that your daughter has to be helping an asian classmate, and you say you're unaware of their plight?
I think GG might've forgotten to mention that Vincent Chin was at that gentleman's club because it was his BACHELOR PARTY and his wedding was scheduled less than 2 weeks after i cannot imagine how devastating the whiplash was for his fiancée and family to pivot from planning the greatest day in the couple's lives to planning his funeral. absolutely soul crushing and infuriating case, especially as the child of Asian-Latino immigrants
for real like the fuck? if anything, be mad that you have so MANY sentences! 20 a week is multiple a day, I don’t know if you can fully understand the nuances of each case at that rate
had to look up the vincent chin one and holy crap the judge saying "You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal" is absolutely INSANE
its especially funny bc the American justice system has worked on the exact opposite principle for like centuries. In the 80s & 90s they made it so the system isnt even allowed to consider the perpetrator or in some cases the severity of the crime at all, but judges still come in and make all kinds of exceptions when the criminals arent poor people.
I truly don’t know how anyone has real faith in the justice system when you can be brutally murdered in the street with several witnesses only to have your killer out free and being praised in multiple interviews. Or having to fight to survive so you can testify against the man that was caught on tape setting you on fire because there’s a chance he could get out and do it to somebody else. Sickening
Like when outgoing president Boden commuted _almost every single federal death sentence_ to life just this week? A spit in the face of every jury who had to make the ultimate decicion, a spit in the face to all the victims... It wasn't enough to pardon his son, he had to do a big middle finger to everyone. _I am not a Trump supporter_ I just believe in justice.
If I was burned alive by my partner, kept barely alive for months, then taken off all my pain meds to testify for my OWN MURDER TRIAL in advance. I can tell you that I would not say he deserved to live. She was made of something else, may she rest peacefully and I hope the hole they threw him in is dark.
Maybe humourous documentaries or even some mockumentaries. I've got a documentary on my "To buy & watch list" called "Finders Keepers" about a legal battle for an amputated limb. It seems like it has MANY laughable moments. N just a wacky story how do you lose an preserved amputated limb n have someone else find it in BBQ (at yard sale or something)!?!! Think we could all do with a sprinkling of something like that in the mix.
ORRR he could have the best of both worlds (since he mentioned he wanted to bring disturbing movies back) and instead of a horrific documentary, it could be a horror mockumentary, like _The Bay, The Taking of Deborah Logan,_ and _Lake Mungo._ That'd be so fucking cool!
There's so rarely a perfect victim. I think it's so incredibly gross that defense attorneys are often allowed to bring up a victim's past so they can look unreliable yet very often the defendant's past can't be brought up so that jurors won't have preconceived negative opinions of the defendant.
Had to watch Who Killed Vincent Chin for a class (Violence in Asian American Literature) and it ruined my day. The fact it all happened like a week before his wedding day was the last kick in the nuts. Yes, he was at the gentlemen's club for his bachelor party
If I were to make a blind guess on the study not being published; it's because they found nothing. They did a massively unethical longitudinal study, got inconclusive results on whatever they were looking for, and don't want to publish dead-end research that also makes them look really bad. If they did find something, they would have published something then, because at least then something came of it. That'd totally make up for everything. Right, guys? Also, that judge needed to unironically, literally, be defenestrated.
God, I hate how the second documentary, everybody tries to give these big, elaborate reasons as to why it wasn't murder, and be like 'oh man it just out of hand' or whatever, when in reality, the true answer is so obviously 'Ah yeah sure, they killed him, but it's not like they killed a white boy who actually mattered! Just some Asian boy, whatever'. Like that is SO clearly the actual answer as to why nobody gives a shit and it hurts.
That judge was a disgrace. I work in a municipal court where we only deal with small misdemeanors and even our judges don't let people explain their traffic tickets without the prosecution and witnesses being present so all sides can be heard. That was pure Good Ol' Boys Club bull right there.
The “oh it got out of hand” idea is CRAZY considering they chased. Him. Down. They fucking chased him in a car and on foot. They even paid someone to help them find him. How the ~fuck~ can you say it wasn’t purposeful??
The story about the two 14 year old brothers made me physically ill. Those poor children. I dont care that they were "criminals", they were children. How horrific.
three identical strangers is fucking nuts. The fact that they just met due to the slight chance they went to the same college otherwise they might not have met each other.
Right? Now imagine the others apart of that same study never even knowing they have a twin … just awful. Now, think of how many other adoptions go on around the world with scenarios of twins being separated and never knowing they have another half that shared a womb with them - a special bond/connection that goes beyond being siblings. I can only imagine that study was not the only one being conducted in secrecy.
Yeah, I got sent to it after my AP psych teacher, who--up until this point, could speak about the most morbid scenarios with a straight face--started tearing up when she talked about it. I think she actually had to step out for a moment while after bringing it up. She said she hated to think about all those children who were missing a valuable part of themselves, who dealt with the same severe separation anxiety the three brothers did not just from losing a mother but someone they had grown up with inside the womb, living their life just thinking something was "wrong" with them that they had to fix. I knew I had to watch it after that, and I'm glad Mista GG saw it too (even though it is depressing af)
I saw it in theaters not knowing anything about it (even its being a documentary was a surprise) and every ten minutes there was a new huge twist. I had no idea where it was going to end up.
I helped take care of a 9 year old boy with 90% 3d degree burns. There isn’t really any way to really explain how much care and attention goes into burns, and how much of a mental toll it takes on everyone involved. Most people don’t actually die from the burns, but from infection. Your skin is the number 1 thing keeping you safe from bacteria. You be so surprised at the resilience of the human spirit. She stayed alive to make sure she got her justice. She is SO badass.
I remember that Vincent Chin case. I was a kid at the time, but I remember my parents getting so upset over it. It's one of the most clear cases of racism being used to defend the brutal murder of a man.
It sucks how much that 2nd doc reminds me of when I lost my faith in the justice system as a kid. When I was 10, my friend and I saw a man chase down, tackle, and begin clobbering on his kid that was a grade below us at a public park. My friend and I rushed home, went through the whole process of reporting it to authorities, testifying as witnesses in court, etc. The guy was able to get his wife to lie for him and because there wasn't 'substantial evidence', he walked entirely free. I proceeded to watch that man's child spiral into drug abuse over the years that followed, and I will forever wonder what his life would have been like if someone got him out of that damn home. Its been 20 years since then and I still think about it to this day.
Wow. You did everything you could even at such a young age. You should be proud of yourself for at least trying. Many people just don't care or want to inconvenience themselves because it isn't their issue.
The crazy thing with the Vincent chin case is stuff like that hasn’t stopped happening. Black truck drivers getting lynched while doing deliveries, Asian nail salons getting shot up (for publicity sake) and even a man taking a jog down the street getting hunted and shot down by two white men who “thought” he was homeless. All of these cases were either dragged out or dropped. So the thing that hurts me the most about this case is that it’s not even time period specific. But people still wanna play the “who’s the model minority” game..
The part about the little boys who were sold for some cigarettes and the difference between how they arrived and how they left? that's.... just.... ugh. I hope their father never has a restful sleep till the day he dies.
I didn’t expect to feel so absolutely gutted when I heard that sentence. It was just so devastating vile to even imagine two children go through the inhumane and devastating act and then for them to know that it was their father who had put them there. it was a wretched feeling.
All the time I thought he was talking about older sons, which was already bad enough, but when I heard 14 years old and how they came back.... oh my god. I had to take a moment. I can't wrap my head around that atrocity and the father's attitude
So what if it wasn't racially motivated? Did they pass some law where you're allowed to kill people as long as it's not racially motivated that I'm not aware of? I don't understand how he didn't still go to prison for at the very least manslaughter or negligent homicide.....
I think if it was a white dude on the sidewalk instead of Vincent, the judge's tone might've been a tad different. Edit - NVM, Ronald said that him and his daughter helped an asian kid at school.
I kind of assumed it was a double jeopardy situation where they couldn't try him again for the same crime and were trying to come up with a different act to charge him for, but I certainly don't know the details.
I always appreciate the conpassion you share for the victims in these cases. "Why didn't they just leave?" If it were that easy, they would have done it
Ah yes the "nothing is ever my fault I refuse to accept responsibility because if it was easy I would have done it" brigade Truly circular reasoning's greatest success, why take accountability for anything? Just complain about it and tax someone else for free gibs 😂
@@TristanLane520 "it's not my fault for being abusive, they should've just left even though I wouldn't let them" truly circular reasoning's greatest success, why take accountability for anything? Just complain about it and tax someone else for free gibs :/
“the money poured into punishment, the money pinched in rehabilitation” is sooooo so heavy. this can be said in regards to a WIDESPREAD problem as well..
Especially in america. I hate our prison system because they focus on punishment. Sure some prisoners are beyond help, but the ones with minor offenses deserve to try again at life
Thank you for covering The Fire That Took Her so well. I'm a DV advocate working in a shelter, and your making that information accessable to your audience and handling it so empathetically is so very appreciated. Your discussing that she couldn't just leave, that the only place she felt safe was rehab, the fact that he manipulated her family, all of these things are hugely important for awareness. Just--thank you.
It is very hard to leave a DV relationship. I was in one for 3 years. You can try to just leave . They stalk you. You can go to the police. They say cant do anything unless we see it happening. My friend helped me out. I am grateful til this day. It was really hard but I can definitely see myself in her position if I did not.
@themischief420 was going to say that there's a specific time frame where most attacks happen after the person gets away😢 can't remember the exact time frame
I appreciate the mention of the "well why didnt she just leave?" because as a child of a dv and experiencing it first hand. It is so much more than that, my father would hunt down my mother just to cause problems and make her react around people so it would cause problems for her and not just him. He even did it to ME at my own jobs during my teen years. Its so much more than just leaving
Judy was an absolute warrior. Overcoming addiction is hard enough but that plus cancer TWICE plus this scumbag is absolutely wild. Such a powerful woman. Rip Also The fact this serious content is so good while you being simultaneously one of the funniest YT’s is so awesome.
My mouth dropped at the story of the father that sold his two 14 year old sons to other prisoners. I can’t believe teens were sent into an adult male prison.
I had to watch the Vincent Chin doc for college, and man, I can't think of a way to describe of how huge the vibe shift was between the day we discussed that doc vs every other class session we had. It was a class about Asian American art, and we'd talked about stuff like Chinese exclusion and Japanese internment already so it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows up to that point, but that day was just extra depressing.
I didn't think you were joking about the Vincent Chin documentary but i genuinely had to skip that part. I was getting too mad and i knew that it would just have a deeply unsatisfying ending
The doc about Vincent reminds me of when I witnessed a man just standing at the bus stop, and 4 guys came up and beat the man then left him in a pool of blood. I was 11 and used a pay phone to call 911. I lived in northern ontario, so when i mentioned the man was indigenous, they kind of chuckled. Ambulance finally showed up. I ended up walking home and told my parents what had happened. My mom had a friend who was a nurse, so she verified the man was in icu. The cops showed up to our house 3 times, saying, "i made it up. Your daughter is lying. Tell her to stop talking." Thankfully my parents knew the nurse in the ICU because they kept saying they believed me. The nurse came to the house and said i saved that mans life because I called 911 as quick as I did.
27:27 - as someone whos been in a similar situation, I appreciate the acknowledgement of this fact thats becoming more and more common knowledge. Not just because it becomes easier to talk to people about, but also because it made it easier to see an issue in my experience. Early on, its easy to say "its not DV, if it were, I would have the sense to just leave." But, in my experience and many others, its not that simple. Especially due to years of gradual raising of the abuse and conditionining. So i think its really great that more and more people are always emphasising how it isnt as simple as "just leaving."
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MISTAGG You should watch this brilliant documentary called Brazilian Holocaust, it tells the story of a psych hospital that was open from 1900 to 1980 in Brazil, and in which people were treated horribly, with the staff doing atrocious "treatments", patients dying and the whole thing being a place to lock social outcasts away from society. It's extremely disturbing, but so good!
I'm from PR. Oso Blanco was right next to main a highway, and close to a mall we would frequent as kids. Every time we would drive past the prison , you could see the inmates waving their shirts out the window. By the time I was in High-school it got closed and people still talk about the shit that went down in there. It's wild to see the inside through these clips. Will definitely have to watch the doc Happy New Year, Mista GG!
Did anyone else get nauseas when GG described what happen to the two boys in the last documentary, I watch a lot of true crime and crime documentaries but trying not to picture what those kids went through almost made me throw up my midnight meal.
Yea. The wave of nausea that hit me felt like it settled into my bones. Idk what crime led those kids there, but on a human level, I can't imagine going in assuming you'll have protection under your dad in a terror of a prison(that had to look like walking straight into helll). But quickly being sold for some freaking cigarettes and brutally violated in exchange instead. I'm still queasy over how callous that was. I fought my brain very hard to not picture that misery.
As someone who's a twin, I can't imagine that first doc. We have been a part of a few different studies about the correlation between mental health disorders and us being twins. But we grew up together. These studies are done on our own time, online. It's just so hard for me to grasp what if we were not so lucky.
The nature v. nuture arguement is why I'll always advocate for people to know their diagnoses outright and to be fully informed of what it means. The addiction gene for drugs and alcohol runs STRONG on both sides of my family, and yet because I knew that outright, and took the time to actually get diagnosed, I've been able to avoid those things and find relatively healthy coping mechanisms. It's always wild to me that some psyche offices dont wanna tell you what youre diagnosed with, because it can prevent so much hardship
@@CerebralSupportagreed, even tho nature does what it does you should always have the option to fight back “When life gives you lemons take those lemons and throw them back at life”
We did the same- but a different argument (I think experiments?) for our psychology class and but didn’t watch the docu, instead a Mr ballen video- I wished that we watch the docu instead cuz it seemed SO interesting and they all deserved better :(
As a twin myself it's hard to feel like I'm an individual. We were raised to do all the same things. Every costume was a pair of characters. Thank you for talking about this.
In regards to the third doc and more on why people in dv relationships don’t “just leave” for anyone who genuinely doesn’t understand: Leaving an abusive partner immediately becomes more dangerous than the relationship itself currently is. This is a tragic example of it. She wanted to go to rehab to get away from him but once he realized she wanted to get away, he set her on fucking fire. Abuser’s always have that “if I can’t have you, no one can” mentality. Not to mention, if they’re willing to harm their partner when they stick by their side, imagine what happens when they turn their back and try to walk away from them. Few things are more dangerous than attempting to leave a dv situation.
One of my best friends took the plunge to leave her abuser -- she was making plans to move in with me and had gotten a bit of her stuff to my place when he burned down their house. (She was at work at the time.) The fire took most of her possessions along with the house (which was in her name alone, but that she'd offered to give him free and clear if he'd agree to a divorce). He was so spiteful that he burned down his own home -- he was found living in the backyard shed a week later. I'm glad he didn't have a car and couldn't figure out where she'd moved to until months later.
I still genuinely don't understand but maybe that's because I live in a different country? There's literally a shelter or safe haven or police station within like 20 minutes walk at any time. Put on some clothes, grab your important docs, your phone and leave. Cops may not have enough evidence to do something to that guy, but if you're scared and want to get away they will put you in contact with and if needed deliver you to a DV haven. I feel bad for people that stay because they feel trapped but I genuinely can't understand it. If this comes across as victim blaming, it's really not meant to be. I'm not saying they're not valid, just that I don't understand. Just like algebra, I believe it but I can't grasp it.
If you dont understand it maybe instead of making suggestions of what a victim 'should' do, you should listen to survivors actually listen and not interject with what they 'should' have done. Also I dont know where you live but thats NOT the case for millions of people.
@@bararobberbaron859 see, you think DV shelter is this paradise, where you can just go live in absolute safety, indefinitely. It's not. It's definitely not for a woman with an addiction. You would know that if instead of assuming you'd actually go out of your way to learn something from the victims. And I will tell you exactly what going to the cops would do. They would tell her to provide the proof (she wouldn't have any), go talk to him (which lets him know she went to the cops) and say that's all they can do. In both cases she is left with an enraged man who now knows she wanted to leave him, with no home and no money. Right now, could YOU leave literally everything you own and your entire life and go live on the street just like that? I doubt that. Sure, it would be better than death, but she didn't know he will set her on fire. It's easy for you to feel smart in retrospect. And with the wealth and the safety net that you have I doubt you ever really considered what it mean to have lose literally everything to maybe, maybe get away from someone for limited time. You should work on your empathy and learn more about the reality of these situation before you give anyone your opinion on what they should do.
@@bararobberbaron859you 100% come across as victim blaming "why cant these women in dangerous situations just up and go into even more dangerous situations" Someone in a dv situation cannot just up and leave, what if they have a pet? Do they take the pet with them? A lot of shelters wont take pets and the person likely wont have the money to put their pet into a kennel while they try to get back on their feet. They could always leave the pet with the partner but that opens the person up to manipulation (the partner could hurt/give away/kill the pet to get back at the person for leaving/try to force them back) What if the person had kids? What if they had kids with the abuser? What if they HAD gone to the police before and been turned away (often multiple times)? What if the police knew the abuser was bad news but "their hands are tied"? Quite often a person in a dv situation will have been in the hospital with unexplained injuries and an angry partner and police still won't protect the person And what happens in the abuser decides to kidnap the person? Or stalks them? Or kills them? A shelter often cannot protect someone if their abuser is actively hunting them and will want that person to leave for the safety of everyone else and police are often not helpful even after fatal action In future surrounding discussions of dv you need to listen, learn and keep your mouth shut unless you're ok coming across as a jerk
You missed the weirdest and most upsetting part of the Vincent Chin documentary. At the end of the horrific story and all the upsetting details, the credits roll and an upbeat love song called "Can't help myself" plays and makes the whole vibe feel inappropriate and uncomfortable. Maybe it was Vincent's favorite song, maybe it's some weird juxtaposition that I'm not smart enough to comprehend, but it's very off-putting
11:38 yeah thats just..sad. He does blame himself, its the best way he can articulate it not being a part of the mental health movement thats going on. Older generations really were like 'suck it up, bottle it up, keep on moving champ'. But he's trying to rationalize it in the best way he can 'what could I have said/taught him/ done to prevent this in my child' and thats just... upsetting man. Always good to have a Mista GG upload, lifes rough right now man and its always good to see a video from you.
Hey MistaGG, if you're looking for another disturbing documentary recommendation I strongly suggest "Con mi corazón en Yambo", it's a 2011 Ecuadorian documentary by María Fernanda Restrepo. It explores the tragic disappearance of her two brothers, Santiago and Andrés, in 1988, after they were detained by police in Quito-Ecuador. They were tortured to de4th and their remains hidden, all the while the police and the goverment denied any participation in the disappearence of the siblings. Through a deeply personal investigation, the film uncovers state violence, corruption, and the enduring pain of unresolved injustice.
You should check out: -The Way Down (Not the most disturbing but pretty interesting) -Escaping Twin Flames (Mainly because I want to hear you take the piss out of the founders) -There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane
27:30 “Why didn’t you just leave?” was what I got asked a lot after I got away from my abuser. When you’re in situations like that, you are at your weakest and most vulnerable, and you have virtually no control of your thoughts. I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, and I was terrified that if I left, he would assault me because he said he would. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have given a single shit about his feelings, but I was so scared of losing my “best friend”, even after he physically and mentally abused me for two years. I’m lucky I was able to “leave”, but it took multiple police reports and living in fear for a long time. Not everyone is lucky enough to say that.
Imagine going through something as painful as being set on fire and then having to testify for your own murder trial. I swear to God the shit women have to go through just to get people to believe and listen to us and get justice is horrific. May Judy rest in peace
If you are looking for recommendations for the next video: - Breaking the silence: the Maria Soledad case (Argentinian) - The doomsday cult of Antares de la Luz (chilean) - The Lost Children (Brazilian) The are all on Netflix iirc
I have watched so many cases and Judy's was hard to stomach. Was in tears when I watched the documentary. The suffering, torment and trauma she endured and had to experience during those two and a half years and even prior with her cancer and addiction. I'm glad, we got to know her life. Even though it's a life, she NEVER deserved. She came out on top and showed true strength and sheer determination to get justice for herself.
As a victim of parental dv it is almost impossible to leave the situation even when you have people on the outside trying to help you. Thankfully I’m out now with the help of my Dad but it was so difficult to get to this point
The trials of Gabriel Fernandez is by far the most infuriating, heartbreaking, disturbing documentary I’ve ever seen. It’s a mini series but I couldn’t watch more than one episode at a time. I would sob and feel physically nauseous every episode. Huge trigger warning for child ab*se.
I feel so horrible for Judy after overcoming so much that monster dragged her back to her hell. I’m sad she suffered but I’m happy she was able to give her deposition and put him away before passing. Rest in paradise Judy ❤
As someone whos been through opiate withdrawals I can't even imagine going through them while healing from being burned like that..... Knowing all you would have to do is ask and you could take something but not doing it would be hard as hell even without the pain....
I had to study it in a Psych class, and it is highly believed to actually just be a combination of NatVNurt plus Heritable Mental Disturbance. Doesn't make it any less deplorable, but I just wanted to nip this in the bud.
@@erc3338 just because on paper it doesn’t say “we’re being n*zis” doesn’t mean the thought processes of the scientists/researchers weren’t swayed by the influence of ww2 lmao what point are you trying to make here
@@notahumanbeing6892 The commenter said "sounds like a eugenics study." I'm saying the study was done for a different purpose. I agree that eugenics may have played a part in the messed up morality of someone(s) involved, I'm just saying what the purported goal was.
The Fire That Took Her reminds me of a DV case that happened 4 years ago in Brisbane. Woman had actually left the guy, but he plotted an attack on her and their kids which ended with them being douced in petrol and then lit ablaze in their car. She survived long enough to give a testimony, but passed away shortly after. The kids didn't make it, and the guy ended up shooting himself in the commotion. To anyone who ever asks the question 'why don't you just leave?' Because the outcome of leaving is potentially so much worse than the outcome of staying.
Some psychology studies are genuinely horrific, I'm halfway through my degree and often come across studies that involve non-consenting participants whether that's just straight up experimenting on them and not telling them or if they are not truthful about what's happening. Twins are sadly seen as a gold mine as a lot of psychologists essentially see them as the same person therefore making them "Perfect" for testing external factors on the psyche. Sadly due to the development of the brain being so important a lot of study's like these will often focus on children.
For the three identical strangers one how can the researcher lady say it was all nature because the boys all grew up differently but had the same origin when they were meticulously planning their upbringings to the point of deciding all of them have a big sister??
It springs from an extremelly old fashioned liberal American point of view. One of the parents was a democrat, one was a republican and the other one didnt vote, one parent was military the other one into arts. For loads of people in America, that covers the entirety of human spectrum, so if those "huge" differences didn't result in easily noticible differences in *all* aspects of their lives, then nature is the only thing that matters. Remember, she is pretty old.
Judy’s case breaks my heart. The fact that he put her through so much and she had to fight for justice instead of enjoying her family and time she had left. She is an amazing woman and so fucking strong. My heart breaks into a million pieces every time that she didn’t want him to die. She wanted him to service his sentence. She didn’t believe in the death penalty. May she rest well and in peace.
61 "escapes" is crazy. Yeah when prisons are understaffed like that prisoners can find dozens of places guards can't frequent. They would have had ample time on their own, unsupervised, to kill, dismember, and discard bodies and never be seen or heard. Those 61 men disappeared from the earth with zero trace, or any sort of record. They went to jail, and vanished.
I've recommended it before, but let me do it again - "Tylko nie mów nikomu" ("Tell no one") really broke my heart. The first part is definitely a lot better and its amateurish nature works in its advantage (in my opinion). It's available on youtube with subtitles in most language you can think off. The makers wanted everyone to be able to see it, instead of putting it behind a paywall, because they believe the cause was so important.
@@sarahimorales397 Child exploitation in the Catholic church in Poland. It showcases a few victims, the way the church tried to conceal the cases by moving the priests around and never actually taking any legal steps etc. Really heartbreaking.
dammit bro the triplet story always get me. it's so utterly inhumane... bc i have a strong feeling if they have grown up together, i truly don't think they would've suffered as much as they did.
whilst I understand the need to censor this for RUclips, 7:53 censor really makes it sound like something else so I ended up laughing out loud despite the horrific circumstances
one time a friend of a friend passed away. i asked my friend what happened to the guy over text, and he texted back ‘he shit himself’ obviously a typo and i felt horrible for laughing out loud
Three Identical Strangers always breaks my heart because imagine finding someone you couldnt live without and then having to live without them, especially an identical twin :(
I have a disturbing documentary suggestion. Mr. Organ is a David Farrier documentary. David made Tickled, which I think was featured in this series. Mr. Organ is an investigation into a story about an antique store that was abusively clamping cars that used their parking space. It leads to some interesting and disturbing places.
Im really glad that some people (GG) are willing to watch these docs and retell them because i could never sit through these. The rage i feel just from this video would eat me alive, but i still want to be aware and be witness of these events so i can be informed and learn from them. The people that were harmed deserved better. They didnt deserve what happened to them. Holy shit did they deserve better.
omg seriously. i pray for his soul cuz these types of docs sit with you and rot inside. I used to watch messed up docs but it just started talking a toll. It's like spiritual crack. But i def appreciate getting the cliffs notes from those willing to watch to inform us.
The fire is very scary. Almost thought this was a local case from a couple years ago, no this is just a thing that happens. There's 100% a reason people are called 'survivors' of domestic abuse. Just dang! Thank you for covering these great docs!
Something I’d like to mention about DV, that Judy’s case exemplifies is that often times the most dangerous time period for the victim is during or immediately following an attempt to get out. If you or someone you care about is trying to leave a violent or toxic relationship please make sure you have a plan and support to do so safely. ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely check out The Way Down. As someone who has struggled with a relationship with food, Gwen Shamblin Lara was a disciple woman. I watched Three Identical Strangers in my high school psychology class, and my heart broke for those brothers. People are not meant to be used as guinea pigs.
I randomly was watching this drama-doc of Genie the child who was locked in a room from baby to 13 years old "Mockingbirds Dont Sing" and the first documentary reminded me kinda of it.
Honestly, the fact that you were as calm as you were about the Vincent Chin case blew my mind. I was absolutely furious just hearing the Cliff Notes version here. I feel like I would cry all the way through. Those men should be in prison.
There are also Documentaries that have been banned for covering controversial political topics Like: Titicut Follies(1967) Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields Of Sri Lanka (2013) The Cove (2009) Zetigeist (2007) The Soviet Story (2008) Under the Sun (2015) Zero Days (2016)
23:50 I vividly remember this case because they showed the footage on the local news, and I was at a McDonald’s with my family. My mom made me switch seats with her so I wouldn’t have to see it.
Not to make this sadder and more disturbing for you, but a 2021 study of over 700 separated twins by Song et al found that twins separated at birth are more likely to develop psychiatric issues later in life. Now, I should clarify the study looked at people whose twins died within 60 days of being born (because it's way easier and more ethical to just follow up with people separated from their twin by bad luck than it is to try and run a whole conspiracy to separate the twins yourself), but I feel the take away was if you are a twin-less twin, it was a correlation and lots of the twin-less twins were fine, even most people who do have a mental health issue go on to recover and be fine, being a twin-less twin is not doom, however, if you are an experimenter wondering if you should separate a whole bunch of twins and triplets to run studies on them: you shouldn't. Song et. al never actually said you shouldn't, but the fact that intuitively that sounds bad and now we have data suggesting there's potential risk of harm I think just strongly suggests to not.
We watched Three Identical Strangers in my high school genetics class. I remember the mood of the room just dropping as more and more was revealed about the situation. The sister reveal in particular was harrowing.
They literally stalked Vincent in their car. You telling me that isn’t considered pre-meditated. What really made me upset is that those men never payed his mother the money they owed her. And one of them still acts innocent to this day saying Vincent was the aggressor and plays the helpless old man role.
I have a documentary request. It's a bit of a change of pace, however I think it's worth checking out Gimme Shelter (1970). It's a documentary about The Rolling Stones' infamous performance at Altamont Speedway in San Francisco, California. It became infamous for numerous reasons (reasons that the doc is MORE than happy to showcase), however the main reason is that towards the end of the band's set, a man high on methamphetamine and wielding a gun lunged towards the stage and was stabbed to death by a Hell's Angel The doc itself is pretty scant on interviews; it'd be more accurate to say it's a concert film than anything else. But it unflinchingly shows just how scary, chaotic and drug-fueled this concert actually was.
When I was a kid in the 90's and cartoons/sitcoms would always have the parents go pale and freak out about their kids going to concerts alone I always thought it was some idea about dr-gs or stranger danger. Then through TV and RUclips I've learned about so many horrifying catastrophes happening at events prior to 1990 (fires, crushes, unstable structures, people being hurt in front of huge crowds, etc) that I now wonder if that was part of that wink wink nod to the older audience.
I work in a juvenile detention center for my county with some very high-profile cases (first degree murder, SA, etc.). I, too, struggle with the idea that you mentioned during Oso Blanco, especially when a lot of these people show no remorse for their actions. The thing that keeps me grounded is remembering that these kids are just that: kids. They have the capacity to change just like any other human. That last doc hit really close to home. Thanks for covering/recommending it.
have a fun and safe new years everybody :) cheers to 2025
You too GG!
Same to you, keep up the good work!
Thank you GG ❤ happy new years 😊

Agreed. Disgusting.
Saying your daughter used to help an Asian kid at school is equivalent to saying "I can't be racist, I have a black friend!"
It's worse imo because he's not even doing anything, it's his daughter helping
"I'm not racist, my daughter has a black friend"
'I'm not racist, my sister is only fux black guys.'
-My actual answer to that question.
It all sounds like virtue signaling to me which is EQUIVALENT to what you guys are doing. That being said I too am not racist and would like to virtue signal! The main thing is your actions. Pointing out other people being racist, and saying it is bad can be something racist people do to take the heat off themselves. For instance the main stream media says racism is bad, but they base EVERYTHING off of race and identity politics. It's just cool to attack white for racism, and Christians as an example for bad religion, but if you attack another religion or race is only when it's bad. Most of you liking the OP comment would say white privilege is a thing and isn't racist to say, but if someone said I'm not racist I have a black friend, you think that's a bad statement lmao. I was homeless, had a single mom who make 8k a year for the first 10 years of my life that she was working, when she couldn't find a job at all we were just homeless. Had terrible acne over 100 pimples in high school. I hear people all the time talking about white privilege and not knowing what it's like to be judged for your skin if you are white. Yet I think being black after the 90's, and not having 100 pimples, and a good family is possibly a little more privileged. So you shouldn't just say all white are more privileged no matter what. Not that you said that, or in the comments below, but I know it's how over half you think. I just hate virtue signaling so much people are so fake and people are hypocrites with double standards, that's all. So I kind of agree with you, but at the same time especially the comment below being like" it's even worse because blah blah blah". Like I actually don't see what is so bad about saying your daughter used t help an asian kid at school. What's wrong if someone did a bad action and then said that to cover it up. Just saying it though isn't bad. If someone really did have a daughter help an asian kid at school, and isn't racist, yet you have people saying" that's so racist" Sorry what? Get real problems
Most likely Asian kid was helping the daughter in school. Apple doesn’t fall far.
The fact in the Vincent Chin case that he actually says "I didn't do it on purpose-it's not like I walked up and shot somebody"-So he accidentally grabbed a baseball bat and hunted Vincent down then beat him to death That is even more purposeful than a drive by shooting. Trying to justify what he did is obscene.
At "best" he could have done is smacked Chin once, and Chin mightve been hurt. Depending on where he smacked, Chin could've died from a single hit, but that depends on the strength of the hit and the location. And I doubt Chin would've stayed still for that, since of course he immediately ran away.
So him saying "its not like I shot him" after hunting him down, got other guys to pin him down, and beat him to death, for all we know till his brains were paste, is insane and blood boiling
this is what i’m saying, bro admits to killing him, but not on purpose? it was “racially motivated” but it’s okay he killed him, because it wasn’t just a “normal murder” instead of a racially motivated murder? 😭 like this country makes no sense
I barely seen your comment and we thought the same thing, he sounds so dumb
He's right. It's not like he walked up and shot somebody. It's so much worse.
Yeah everyone knows the weapon makes the crime
23:29 „i didnt walk up and shoot somebody“ YOU BASHED HIS HEAD IN??? SOME MIGHT ARGUE THATS WORSE ACTUALLY
Imo it is worse because you have to focus where you’re swinging and have multiple swings to cause damage (especially with a wooden bat) whereas with a gun you just pull a trigger, and with a gun you could also accidentally shoot or a someone without the knowledge on how firearms work could fire and kill somebody, but they didn’t think about it and do it multiple times.
@@KingOfTheMice He also went out of his way to chase him down with other men. If it was just shoving and then he shot Vincent while fighting one on one- there could even be reasonable doubt that it was self defense. Not saying it’s likely, but that’s what the defense would be in court.
Just imagine being as resilient as Judy. Imagine surviving fucking cancer twice, addiction, recovery, again addiction, an abusive boyfriend, being BURNED ALIVE and still going. What an absolute legend. Judy did not deserve to go that way and the man who did that to her is the reason why Hell should exist.
she is a truly incredible woman. her story is crushing & heartbreaking but her resilience is just something i have no words for. it’s also one case where the judge actually did some things that benefited the victim that many wouldn’t have such as showing her deposition & not allowing him in the room while creating her deposition & took judy’s wishes into account when sentencing. i hope that her family has gotten the support they deserve & are doing well despite what they went through (& that her murderer is rotting in jail & having a terrible life)
Hell SHOULD exist but sadly it doesn’t.
She went through more pain and suffering than any one person could take. I hope she's resting peacefully.
Good news: Hell does exist and he will be there.
She held on long enough to get justice or at least prevent that psycho from hurting another person like that again.
The way people will jump to defend a man's intense, ego driven, violent outburst just because they "think hes actually a really good guy when you get to know" is the single most frustrating thing in this world to me. There's truly no limit to what people are willing to excuse to not have to change the status quo of their daily lives
that's the danger in this world. some of the most evil people slither by appearing to be "really good people" even to themselves
even worse is that for a lot of people 'a really good guy' is usually just a guy who is friendly with them but treats everyone else like subhumans instead
@@360.Tapestrythat’s how a lot of serial killers are.. the worst people can act so nice
Really the single most frustrating thing? Not the actual murder itself?
@@jeremiahbrisso3680 Murder is a very heinous crime in of itself, Vincent did not deserve his life to be taken over a bar fight. It was what led to the murder and what happened after it that makes it frustrating.
The fact that his killers were seen as good people, the way people said it was an accident, the fact that his killers didn't get jail time for taking a life. Those people downplayed Vincent's death bc he wasn't a white man. Had Vincent killed those two guys instead? People would've wanted him dead.
For me as a black person, with cases like these, it's the racial injustice/inequality that frustrates me the most. Racism is the biggest killer for people like Vincent and I.
22:14 Saying “I am not aware of that they have a plight” when having directly contributed to their plights by brutally murdering one of them without consequence is CRAZYYY
I actually screamed, "you murdered one" when he said that. The lack of awareness, remorse and accountability when he gruesomely murdered a man is insane. To act like Asian Americans don't experience discrimination and injustice when you got away with a hate crime is horrifying to me. These are the cases where I want vigilante justice
@ right?! 😤 I was so shocked by the audacity of that line in particular that I shot up outta
my seat when I first heard it.
And for some reason, the fact that he was stupid enough to even say those things on record at all honestly makes me MORE angry than if he was ‘smarter’ (for lack of better word) about hiding his racist motivations. Because it only further shows that didn’t even have to be cunning to get away with murder, he just had to be a white man with some money to spare.
Legimately, being like “i don’t know that Asian Americans have any plight, and i certainly wasn’t being racist towards the one i beat to death with a baseball bat!” Is so fucking ridiculous it would almost be funny if it weren’t so enraging.
Man it gets worse, bc he says "I am not aware that they have a plight, in fact my daughter was helping an asian kid at school once" like hello? The only thing you know about asians is that your daughter has to be helping an asian classmate, and you say you're unaware of their plight?
Right, like you ARE the plight.
I think GG might've forgotten to mention that Vincent Chin was at that gentleman's club because it was his BACHELOR PARTY and his wedding was scheduled less than 2 weeks after
i cannot imagine how devastating the whiplash was for his fiancée and family to pivot from planning the greatest day in the couple's lives to planning his funeral. absolutely soul crushing and infuriating case, especially as the child of Asian-Latino immigrants
"If it was a brutal murder." I mean it's actually disturbing how this judge treats this crime. He doesn't care. It reminds me of the Emmett Till case.
Ye that was…insane..
goes to show just how white supremacist this country's justice system is
BRB gotta go do some research
vincent chin died for nothing and nobody cared just because he was an asian
He cares. He just cares about maintaining power for him and people like him over a colored victim.
The judge seriously bitching that he has to... Do his job? Why tf is he complaining about the amount of sentences he needs to do? He's a judge?
for real like the fuck? if anything, be mad that you have so MANY sentences! 20 a week is multiple a day, I don’t know if you can fully understand the nuances of each case at that rate
had to look up the vincent chin one and holy crap the judge saying "You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal" is absolutely INSANE
What the actual fuck. I don't even have words on how insanely backwards that is! That man has no place being a judge!
This is the ideology of MANY judges these days.
its especially funny bc the American justice system has worked on the exact opposite principle for like centuries. In the 80s & 90s they made it so the system isnt even allowed to consider the perpetrator or in some cases the severity of the crime at all, but judges still come in and make all kinds of exceptions when the criminals arent poor people.
Literally made me sick to my stomach. I read the same wiki pages 🤮
And nobody's shot that guy. Nope, everyones just handing their balls and their spines over walking around eating a big ol shitsammy
I truly don’t know how anyone has real faith in the justice system when you can be brutally murdered in the street with several witnesses only to have your killer out free and being praised in multiple interviews. Or having to fight to survive so you can testify against the man that was caught on tape setting you on fire because there’s a chance he could get out and do it to somebody else. Sickening
The worst thing about most of true crime stories/docs is how the system always fails at the people who need it the most.
Always? I feel like they have to be helping people to a degree. Otherwise, we'd have absolutely chaos.
Like when outgoing president Boden commuted _almost every single federal death sentence_ to life just this week? A spit in the face of every jury who had to make the ultimate decicion, a spit in the face to all the victims...
It wasn't enough to pardon his son, he had to do a big middle finger to everyone. _I am not a Trump supporter_ I just believe in justice.
I believe the system doesn't have enoguh money to help everyone. But it seems the us spends everything on warmachine
@Sticks-b3jthere IS chaos down here, you're too privileged to be affected
@FionavanDahl You literally know nothing about me, but okay.
If I was burned alive by my partner, kept barely alive for months, then taken off all my pain meds to testify for my OWN MURDER TRIAL in advance. I can tell you that I would not say he deserved to live. She was made of something else, may she rest peacefully and I hope the hole they threw him in is dark.
He gets angrier every time he watches 4 documentaries in a row. We need to get him a string of 4 comedies, because a happy GG is a productive GG.
Maybe humourous documentaries or even some mockumentaries.
I've got a documentary on my "To buy & watch list" called "Finders Keepers" about a legal battle for an amputated limb. It seems like it has MANY laughable moments. N just a wacky story how do you lose an preserved amputated limb n have someone else find it in BBQ (at yard sale or something)!?!!
Think we could all do with a sprinkling of something like that in the mix.
ORRR he could have the best of both worlds (since he mentioned he wanted to bring disturbing movies back) and instead of a horrific documentary, it could be a horror mockumentary, like _The Bay, The Taking of Deborah Logan,_ and _Lake Mungo._ That'd be so fucking cool!
YES HE NEEDS MOCKUMENTARIES
But people click more on negative stuff and he needs that sponsor money
There's so rarely a perfect victim. I think it's so incredibly gross that defense attorneys are often allowed to bring up a victim's past so they can look unreliable yet very often the defendant's past can't be brought up so that jurors won't have preconceived negative opinions of the defendant.
Had to watch Who Killed Vincent Chin for a class (Violence in Asian American Literature) and it ruined my day. The fact it all happened like a week before his wedding day was the last kick in the nuts. Yes, he was at the gentlemen's club for his bachelor party
Read about his case for my research paper in high school and it was so hard to read
Damn thats unfortunate 😢
Really? Fucking shit man, the folks willing to deny that racism was a factor is infuriating.
Heartbreaking
Anytime i think it couldnt get worse it get worse holy fu ck
If I were to make a blind guess on the study not being published; it's because they found nothing. They did a massively unethical longitudinal study, got inconclusive results on whatever they were looking for, and don't want to publish dead-end research that also makes them look really bad.
If they did find something, they would have published something then, because at least then something came of it. That'd totally make up for everything. Right, guys?
Also, that judge needed to unironically, literally, be defenestrated.
God, I hate how the second documentary, everybody tries to give these big, elaborate reasons as to why it wasn't murder, and be like 'oh man it just out of hand' or whatever, when in reality, the true answer is so obviously 'Ah yeah sure, they killed him, but it's not like they killed a white boy who actually mattered! Just some Asian boy, whatever'. Like that is SO clearly the actual answer as to why nobody gives a shit and it hurts.
FR He literally pulled the "my daughter helped an Asian" 🙄😒
That judge was a disgrace. I work in a municipal court where we only deal with small misdemeanors and even our judges don't let people explain their traffic tickets without the prosecution and witnesses being present so all sides can be heard. That was pure Good Ol' Boys Club bull right there.
The “oh it got out of hand” idea is CRAZY considering they chased. Him. Down. They fucking chased him in a car and on foot. They even paid someone to help them find him. How the ~fuck~ can you say it wasn’t purposeful??
@transingyourfrogs 👏👏👏
It was just an accident guys get over it
The story about the two 14 year old brothers made me physically ill. Those poor children. I dont care that they were "criminals", they were children. How horrific.
Seriously. I had to stop the video and just stare at the ceiling for a long while after I heard that.
I turned away from the screen as if I could see it. had to pause and breathe for a few moments. Still not ok
I feel like I'm going to throw up
three identical strangers is fucking nuts. The fact that they just met due to the slight chance they went to the same college otherwise they might not have met each other.
Right? Now imagine the others apart of that same study never even knowing they have a twin … just awful.
Now, think of how many other adoptions go on around the world with scenarios of twins being separated and never knowing they have another half that shared a womb with them - a special bond/connection that goes beyond being siblings. I can only imagine that study was not the only one being conducted in secrecy.
ooh boy the video before this was the 1978 movie "The Boys from Brazil" and I'VE GOT THE CHILLS
Yeah, I got sent to it after my AP psych teacher, who--up until this point, could speak about the most morbid scenarios with a straight face--started tearing up when she talked about it. I think she actually had to step out for a moment while after bringing it up. She said she hated to think about all those children who were missing a valuable part of themselves, who dealt with the same severe separation anxiety the three brothers did not just from losing a mother but someone they had grown up with inside the womb, living their life just thinking something was "wrong" with them that they had to fix. I knew I had to watch it after that, and I'm glad Mista GG saw it too (even though it is depressing af)
I saw it in theaters not knowing anything about it (even its being a documentary was a surprise) and every ten minutes there was a new huge twist. I had no idea where it was going to end up.
I helped take care of a 9 year old boy with 90% 3d degree burns. There isn’t really any way to really explain how much care and attention goes into burns, and how much of a mental toll it takes on everyone involved. Most people don’t actually die from the burns, but from infection. Your skin is the number 1 thing keeping you safe from bacteria. You be so surprised at the resilience of the human spirit. She stayed alive to make sure she got her justice. She is SO badass.
I remember that Vincent Chin case. I was a kid at the time, but I remember my parents getting so upset over it. It's one of the most clear cases of racism being used to defend the brutal murder of a man.
100%
Judy fought through cancer 2 times went sober from a heroin addiction and lived 2 years after being set on fire.
What a strong woman she was
It sucks how much that 2nd doc reminds me of when I lost my faith in the justice system as a kid. When I was 10, my friend and I saw a man chase down, tackle, and begin clobbering on his kid that was a grade below us at a public park. My friend and I rushed home, went through the whole process of reporting it to authorities, testifying as witnesses in court, etc. The guy was able to get his wife to lie for him and because there wasn't 'substantial evidence', he walked entirely free. I proceeded to watch that man's child spiral into drug abuse over the years that followed, and I will forever wonder what his life would have been like if someone got him out of that damn home. Its been 20 years since then and I still think about it to this day.
Wow. You did everything you could even at such a young age. You should be proud of yourself for at least trying. Many people just don't care or want to inconvenience themselves because it isn't their issue.
Did they have evidence? Cause if they didn't what do you expect them to do?

The crazy thing with the Vincent chin case is stuff like that hasn’t stopped happening. Black truck drivers getting lynched while doing deliveries, Asian nail salons getting shot up (for publicity sake) and even a man taking a jog down the street getting hunted and shot down by two white men who “thought” he was homeless. All of these cases were either dragged out or dropped. So the thing that hurts me the most about this case is that it’s not even time period specific. But people still wanna play the “who’s the model minority” game..
So fucking true unfortunately.
The part about the little boys who were sold for some cigarettes and the difference between how they arrived and how they left? that's.... just.... ugh. I hope their father never has a restful sleep till the day he dies.
I didn’t expect to feel so absolutely gutted when I heard that sentence. It was just so devastating vile to even imagine two children go through the inhumane and devastating act and then for them to know that it was their father who had put them there. it was a wretched feeling.
All the time I thought he was talking about older sons, which was already bad enough, but when I heard 14 years old and how they came back.... oh my god. I had to take a moment.
I can't wrap my head around that atrocity and the father's attitude
@@lucamp1inmates dude they aren't people
@@lucamp1 oh me too I had to pause and just sit there breathing as the feeling of disgust washed over me.
Honestly that was more horrible to me than the Vincent Chin case. That kind of betrayal destroys people, let alone those people being children.
So what if it wasn't racially motivated? Did they pass some law where you're allowed to kill people as long as it's not racially motivated that I'm not aware of? I don't understand how he didn't still go to prison for at the very least manslaughter or negligent homicide.....
I think if it was a white dude on the sidewalk instead of Vincent, the judge's tone might've been a tad different.
Edit - NVM, Ronald said that him and his daughter helped an asian kid at school.
I kind of assumed it was a double jeopardy situation where they couldn't try him again for the same crime and were trying to come up with a different act to charge him for, but I certainly don't know the details.
@@-tera-3345 Yeah I didn't look into the details, it's infuriating enough just hearing about it.
I always appreciate the conpassion you share for the victims in these cases.

Ah yes the "nothing is ever my fault I refuse to accept responsibility because if it was easy I would have done it" brigade
Truly circular reasoning's greatest success, why take accountability for anything? Just complain about it and tax someone else for free gibs 😂
@@TristanLane520 "it's not my fault for being abusive, they should've just left even though I wouldn't let them" truly circular reasoning's greatest success, why take accountability for anything? Just complain about it and tax someone else for free gibs :/

@TristanLane520 well what you constitute his abuse is kinda questionable lol

Hey GG, please consider a "4 wholesome docs" vid to lighten up the mood of this series. Perhaps for April 1st.
“the money poured into punishment, the money pinched in rehabilitation” is sooooo so heavy. this can be said in regards to a WIDESPREAD problem as well..
Especially in america. I hate our prison system because they focus on punishment. Sure some prisoners are beyond help, but the ones with minor offenses deserve to try again at life
Thank you for covering The Fire That Took Her so well. I'm a DV advocate working in a shelter, and your making that information accessable to your audience and handling it so empathetically is so very appreciated. Your discussing that she couldn't just leave, that the only place she felt safe was rehab, the fact that he manipulated her family, all of these things are hugely important for awareness. Just--thank you.
It is very hard to leave a DV relationship. I was in one for 3 years. You can try to just leave . They stalk you. You can go to the police. They say cant do anything unless we see it happening. My friend helped me out. I am grateful til this day. It was really hard but I can definitely see myself in her position if I did not.
also, when you're trying to leave is literally the most dangerous time
@themischief420 was going to say that there's a specific time frame where most attacks happen after the person gets away😢 can't remember the exact time frame
I hope you and the person replying previously are both in a safer happier situation now. Happy New Year
💙
Also, I'm glad you got away 🖤 I hope you are living a life of joy
I appreciate the mention of the "well why didnt she just leave?" because as a child of a dv and experiencing it first hand. It is so much more than that, my father would hunt down my mother just to cause problems and make her react around people so it would cause problems for her and not just him. He even did it to ME at my own jobs during my teen years.
Its so much more than just leaving
That Luigi joke is wild lmao
Wildly funny 😂😂
Just saw it and had to go to the comments
Was not expecting that 😂😂😂
Jesus loves you
Judge didnt do his job and his excuse is "what? I've got a lot to do" but i garuntee that dog still collected his paycheck.
Judy was an absolute warrior. Overcoming addiction is hard enough but that plus cancer TWICE plus this scumbag is absolutely wild. Such a powerful woman. Rip
Also The fact this serious content is so good while you being simultaneously one of the funniest YT’s is so awesome.
My mouth dropped at the story of the father that sold his two 14 year old sons to other prisoners. I can’t believe teens were sent into an adult male prison.
I had to watch the Vincent Chin doc for college, and man, I can't think of a way to describe of how huge the vibe shift was between the day we discussed that doc vs every other class session we had. It was a class about Asian American art, and we'd talked about stuff like Chinese exclusion and Japanese internment already so it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows up to that point, but that day was just extra depressing.
Idk why they come here expecting to be treated like Americans, but I am quite biased as I very much dislike Asians
My dumbass sitting with a dumb grin on my face watching the three triplets hanging out completely forgetting this is about disturbing documentaries
I didn't think you were joking about the Vincent Chin documentary but i genuinely had to skip that part. I was getting too mad and i knew that it would just have a deeply unsatisfying ending
The doc about Vincent reminds me of when I witnessed a man just standing at the bus stop, and 4 guys came up and beat the man then left him in a pool of blood. I was 11 and used a pay phone to call 911. I lived in northern ontario, so when i mentioned the man was indigenous, they kind of chuckled. Ambulance finally showed up. I ended up walking home and told my parents what had happened. My mom had a friend who was a nurse, so she verified the man was in icu. The cops showed up to our house 3 times, saying, "i made it up. Your daughter is lying. Tell her to stop talking." Thankfully my parents knew the nurse in the ICU because they kept saying they believed me. The nurse came to the house and said i saved that mans life because I called 911 as quick as I did.
I found myself crying from anger just listening to Vincent's story. That is so vile that those scum could live freely
Its like the junko case… theres so many murder victims that die horribly… and their murderers walk free
That smug attitude was nauseating, I had to ffw through chunks of him talking
27:27 - as someone whos been in a similar situation, I appreciate the acknowledgement of this fact thats becoming more and more common knowledge. Not just because it becomes easier to talk to people about, but also because it made it easier to see an issue in my experience. Early on, its easy to say "its not DV, if it were, I would have the sense to just leave." But, in my experience and many others, its not that simple. Especially due to years of gradual raising of the abuse and conditionining. So i think its really great that more and more people are always emphasising how it isnt as simple as "just leaving."
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MISTAGG You should watch this brilliant documentary called Brazilian Holocaust, it tells the story of a psych hospital that was open from 1900 to 1980 in Brazil, and in which people were treated horribly, with the staff doing atrocious "treatments", patients dying and the whole thing being a place to lock social outcasts away from society. It's extremely disturbing, but so good!
"They were locked up because they think differently, they see the world differently. Do you understand?"
"No."
"Me neither."
I'm from PR. Oso Blanco was right next to main a highway, and close to a mall we would frequent as kids. Every time we would drive past the prison , you could see the inmates waving their shirts out the window. By the time I was in High-school it got closed and people still talk about the shit that went down in there. It's wild to see the inside through these clips. Will definitely have to watch the doc
Happy New Year, Mista GG!
Knowing this video was posted 19 mins ago meaning there’s a lot of us watching this vid at the same time together is dope
You’re dope
I love you homie
🤝
The Judge in the Vincent Chin case... how many horrendous calls did he make during his career. What a monster.
Did anyone else get nauseas when GG described what happen to the two boys in the last documentary, I watch a lot of true crime and crime documentaries but trying not to picture what those kids went through almost made me throw up my midnight meal.
Yea. The wave of nausea that hit me felt like it settled into my bones. Idk what crime led those kids there, but on a human level, I can't imagine going in assuming you'll have protection under your dad in a terror of a prison(that had to look like walking straight into helll). But quickly being sold for some freaking cigarettes and brutally violated in exchange instead. I'm still queasy over how callous that was. I fought my brain very hard to not picture that misery.
Absolutely. No matter how much you read, watch, or study it, it’s still brutal and sickening to listen to.
I’m nearly shaking at the image, how horrible! To know what happened to them would probably crush anyone.
As someone who's a twin, I can't imagine that first doc.
We have been a part of a few different studies about the correlation between mental health disorders and us being twins. But we grew up together. These studies are done on our own time, online.
It's just so hard for me to grasp what if we were not so lucky.
We studied the three identical strangers in psych class in our nature vs nurture unit! Really messed up story i feel so bad for them
The nature v. nuture arguement is why I'll always advocate for people to know their diagnoses outright and to be fully informed of what it means. The addiction gene for drugs and alcohol runs STRONG on both sides of my family, and yet because I knew that outright, and took the time to actually get diagnosed, I've been able to avoid those things and find relatively healthy coping mechanisms. It's always wild to me that some psyche offices dont wanna tell you what youre diagnosed with, because it can prevent so much hardship
@@CerebralSupportagreed, even tho nature does what it does you should always have the option to fight back
“When life gives you lemons take those lemons and throw them back at life”
We did the same- but a different argument (I think experiments?) for our psychology class and but didn’t watch the docu, instead a Mr ballen video- I wished that we watch the docu instead cuz it seemed SO interesting and they all deserved better :(
As a twin myself it's hard to feel like I'm an individual. We were raised to do all the same things. Every costume was a pair of characters. Thank you for talking about this.
THATS what you thought about GG describing that doc???!! Okay dokey
In regards to the third doc and more on why people in dv relationships don’t “just leave” for anyone who genuinely doesn’t understand: Leaving an abusive partner immediately becomes more dangerous than the relationship itself currently is. This is a tragic example of it. She wanted to go to rehab to get away from him but once he realized she wanted to get away, he set her on fucking fire. Abuser’s always have that “if I can’t have you, no one can” mentality. Not to mention, if they’re willing to harm their partner when they stick by their side, imagine what happens when they turn their back and try to walk away from them. Few things are more dangerous than attempting to leave a dv situation.
One of my best friends took the plunge to leave her abuser -- she was making plans to move in with me and had gotten a bit of her stuff to my place when he burned down their house. (She was at work at the time.) The fire took most of her possessions along with the house (which was in her name alone, but that she'd offered to give him free and clear if he'd agree to a divorce). He was so spiteful that he burned down his own home -- he was found living in the backyard shed a week later. I'm glad he didn't have a car and couldn't figure out where she'd moved to until months later.
I still genuinely don't understand but maybe that's because I live in a different country? There's literally a shelter or safe haven or police station within like 20 minutes walk at any time. Put on some clothes, grab your important docs, your phone and leave. Cops may not have enough evidence to do something to that guy, but if you're scared and want to get away they will put you in contact with and if needed deliver you to a DV haven. I feel bad for people that stay because they feel trapped but I genuinely can't understand it. If this comes across as victim blaming, it's really not meant to be. I'm not saying they're not valid, just that I don't understand. Just like algebra, I believe it but I can't grasp it.
If you dont understand it maybe instead of making suggestions of what a victim 'should' do, you should listen to survivors actually listen and not interject with what they 'should' have done.
Also I dont know where you live but thats NOT the case for millions of people.
@@bararobberbaron859 see, you think DV shelter is this paradise, where you can just go live in absolute safety, indefinitely. It's not. It's definitely not for a woman with an addiction. You would know that if instead of assuming you'd actually go out of your way to learn something from the victims.
And I will tell you exactly what going to the cops would do. They would tell her to provide the proof (she wouldn't have any), go talk to him (which lets him know she went to the cops) and say that's all they can do.
In both cases she is left with an enraged man who now knows she wanted to leave him, with no home and no money.
Right now, could YOU leave literally everything you own and your entire life and go live on the street just like that? I doubt that.
Sure, it would be better than death, but she didn't know he will set her on fire. It's easy for you to feel smart in retrospect. And with the wealth and the safety net that you have I doubt you ever really considered what it mean to have lose literally everything to maybe, maybe get away from someone for limited time.
You should work on your empathy and learn more about the reality of these situation before you give anyone your opinion on what they should do.
@@bararobberbaron859you 100% come across as victim blaming "why cant these women in dangerous situations just up and go into even more dangerous situations"
Someone in a dv situation cannot just up and leave, what if they have a pet? Do they take the pet with them? A lot of shelters wont take pets and the person likely wont have the money to put their pet into a kennel while they try to get back on their feet. They could always leave the pet with the partner but that opens the person up to manipulation (the partner could hurt/give away/kill the pet to get back at the person for leaving/try to force them back)
What if the person had kids? What if they had kids with the abuser?
What if they HAD gone to the police before and been turned away (often multiple times)? What if the police knew the abuser was bad news but "their hands are tied"? Quite often a person in a dv situation will have been in the hospital with unexplained injuries and an angry partner and police still won't protect the person
And what happens in the abuser decides to kidnap the person? Or stalks them? Or kills them? A shelter often cannot protect someone if their abuser is actively hunting them and will want that person to leave for the safety of everyone else and police are often not helpful even after fatal action
In future surrounding discussions of dv you need to listen, learn and keep your mouth shut unless you're ok coming across as a jerk
You missed the weirdest and most upsetting part of the Vincent Chin documentary. At the end of the horrific story and all the upsetting details, the credits roll and an upbeat love song called "Can't help myself" plays and makes the whole vibe feel inappropriate and uncomfortable. Maybe it was Vincent's favorite song, maybe it's some weird juxtaposition that I'm not smart enough to comprehend, but it's very off-putting
They hunted him down to finish him. How isnt it like clearcut?
11:38 yeah thats just..sad. He does blame himself, its the best way he can articulate it not being a part of the mental health movement thats going on. Older generations really were like 'suck it up, bottle it up, keep on moving champ'. But he's trying to rationalize it in the best way he can 'what could I have said/taught him/ done to prevent this in my child' and thats just... upsetting man.
Always good to have a Mista GG upload, lifes rough right now man and its always good to see a video from you.
Hey MistaGG, if you're looking for another disturbing documentary recommendation I strongly suggest "Con mi corazón en Yambo", it's a 2011 Ecuadorian documentary by María Fernanda Restrepo. It explores the tragic disappearance of her two brothers, Santiago and Andrés, in 1988, after they were detained by police in Quito-Ecuador. They were tortured to de4th and their remains hidden, all the while the police and the goverment denied any participation in the disappearence of the siblings. Through a deeply personal investigation, the film uncovers state violence, corruption, and the enduring pain of unresolved injustice.
It's available for streaming at the choloplus site with eng subs!

@@kellyalves756 Jeff Ayan is so pathetic and narcissistic. But my heart aches for those people still caught up in it. And for their families.
There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane still ruins my day, no matter how many times I’ve seen it. It was so well done and so heartbreaking
There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane is definitely a day-ruiner at the very least
@@NacodaLupine It really was. I feel for her little boy because his dad is pretty checked out. At least he has an aunt who loves him.
27:30 “Why didn’t you just leave?” was what I got asked a lot after I got away from my abuser. When you’re in situations like that, you are at your weakest and most vulnerable, and you have virtually no control of your thoughts. I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, and I was terrified that if I left, he would assault me because he said he would. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have given a single shit about his feelings, but I was so scared of losing my “best friend”, even after he physically and mentally abused me for two years.
I’m lucky I was able to “leave”, but it took multiple police reports and living in fear for a long time. Not everyone is lucky enough to say that.
I'm about to go into surgery in a few hours and felt so nervous I wanted to puke but seeing GG upload literally flipped my mood 🙌🙌 Love ya GG

I have watched so many cases and Judy's was hard to stomach. Was in tears when I watched the documentary. The suffering, torment and trauma she endured and had to experience during those two and a half years and even prior with her cancer and addiction. I'm glad, we got to know her life. Even though it's a life, she NEVER deserved. She came out on top and showed true strength and sheer determination to get justice for herself.
As a victim of parental dv it is almost impossible to leave the situation even when you have people on the outside trying to help you. Thankfully I’m out now with the help of my Dad but it was so difficult to get to this point
What helped you get out? Sorry if it's too much to ask
The trials of Gabriel Fernandez is by far the most infuriating, heartbreaking, disturbing documentary I’ve ever seen. It’s a mini series but I couldn’t watch more than one episode at a time. I would sob and feel physically nauseous every episode. Huge trigger warning for child ab*se.
I feel so horrible for Judy after overcoming so much that monster dragged her back to her hell. I’m sad she suffered but I’m happy she was able to give her deposition and put him away before passing. Rest in paradise Judy ❤
As someone whos been through opiate withdrawals I can't even imagine going through them while healing from being burned like that..... Knowing all you would have to do is ask and you could take something but not doing it would be hard as hell even without the pain....
Three Identical Strangers sounds like a eugenics study.
It sure sounds like it.
And the fact that it was set up by people who had the horrors of WWII still fresh in their minds makes it that much more insane.
I had to study it in a Psych class, and it is highly believed to actually just be a combination of NatVNurt plus Heritable Mental Disturbance. Doesn't make it any less deplorable, but I just wanted to nip this in the bud.
@@erc3338 just because on paper it doesn’t say “we’re being n*zis” doesn’t mean the thought processes of the scientists/researchers weren’t swayed by the influence of ww2 lmao what point are you trying to make here
@@notahumanbeing6892 The commenter said "sounds like a eugenics study." I'm saying the study was done for a different purpose. I agree that eugenics may have played a part in the messed up morality of someone(s) involved, I'm just saying what the purported goal was.
The Fire That Took Her reminds me of a DV case that happened 4 years ago in Brisbane. Woman had actually left the guy, but he plotted an attack on her and their kids which ended with them being douced in petrol and then lit ablaze in their car. She survived long enough to give a testimony, but passed away shortly after. The kids didn't make it, and the guy ended up shooting himself in the commotion.
To anyone who ever asks the question 'why don't you just leave?' Because the outcome of leaving is potentially so much worse than the outcome of staying.
GG and disturbing docs are the best combo
The disturbing movie series is fun too, love GG's witty jabs
Some psychology studies are genuinely horrific, I'm halfway through my degree and often come across studies that involve non-consenting participants whether that's just straight up experimenting on them and not telling them or if they are not truthful about what's happening. Twins are sadly seen as a gold mine as a lot of psychologists essentially see them as the same person therefore making them "Perfect" for testing external factors on the psyche. Sadly due to the development of the brain being so important a lot of study's like these will often focus on children.
For the three identical strangers one how can the researcher lady say it was all nature because the boys all grew up differently but had the same origin when they were meticulously planning their upbringings to the point of deciding all of them have a big sister??
It springs from an extremelly old fashioned liberal American point of view.
One of the parents was a democrat, one was a republican and the other one didnt vote, one parent was military the other one into arts.
For loads of people in America, that covers the entirety of human spectrum, so if those "huge" differences didn't result in easily noticible differences in *all* aspects of their lives, then nature is the only thing that matters.
Remember, she is pretty old.
Judy’s case breaks my heart. The fact that he put her through so much and she had to fight for justice instead of enjoying her family and time she had left. She is an amazing woman and so fucking strong. My heart breaks into a million pieces every time that she didn’t want him to die. She wanted him to service his sentence. She didn’t believe in the death penalty. May she rest well and in peace.
61 "escapes" is crazy. Yeah when prisons are understaffed like that prisoners can find dozens of places guards can't frequent. They would have had ample time on their own, unsupervised, to kill, dismember, and discard bodies and never be seen or heard. Those 61 men disappeared from the earth with zero trace, or any sort of record. They went to jail, and vanished.
I’m crying out of frustration after hearing about the Vincent Chin documentary.
I gotta take a break and I’ll finish this video later.
Totally understandable. The part about his mom was really what got me.
I've recommended it before, but let me do it again - "Tylko nie mów nikomu" ("Tell no one") really broke my heart. The first part is definitely a lot better and its amateurish nature works in its advantage (in my opinion). It's available on youtube with subtitles in most language you can think off. The makers wanted everyone to be able to see it, instead of putting it behind a paywall, because they believe the cause was so important.
What is it about?
@@sarahimorales397 Child exploitation in the Catholic church in Poland. It showcases a few victims, the way the church tried to conceal the cases by moving the priests around and never actually taking any legal steps etc. Really heartbreaking.
dammit bro the triplet story always get me. it's so utterly inhumane... bc i have a strong feeling if they have grown up together, i truly don't think they would've suffered as much as they did.
whilst I understand the need to censor this for RUclips, 7:53 censor really makes it sound like something else so I ended up laughing out loud despite the horrific circumstances
I thought the same thing
one time a friend of a friend passed away. i asked my friend what happened to the guy over text, and he texted back ‘he shit himself’ obviously a typo and i felt horrible for laughing out loud
Was just about to comment the same thing lol
I did the exact same thing 🙈
Me too. It's the fact we get "He sh.. himself in his home" mind jumps to most mild plausible word.
Three Identical Strangers always breaks my heart because imagine finding someone you couldnt live without and then having to live without them, especially an identical twin :(
That happened to my dad, and my heart breaks for him!
@moviesbye9294 that's awful I'm so sorry for his loss :(
I have a disturbing documentary suggestion. Mr. Organ is a David Farrier documentary. David made Tickled, which I think was featured in this series.
Mr. Organ is an investigation into a story about an antique store that was abusively clamping cars that used their parking space. It leads to some interesting and disturbing places.
Im really glad that some people (GG) are willing to watch these docs and retell them because i could never sit through these.
The rage i feel just from this video would eat me alive, but i still want to be aware and be witness of these events so i can be informed and learn from them.
The people that were harmed deserved better.
They didnt deserve what happened to them.
Holy shit did they deserve better.
omg seriously. i pray for his soul cuz these types of docs sit with you and rot inside. I used to watch messed up docs but it just started talking a toll. It's like spiritual crack.
But i def appreciate getting the cliffs notes from those willing to watch to inform us.
The fire is very scary. Almost thought this was a local case from a couple years ago, no this is just a thing that happens. There's 100% a reason people are called 'survivors' of domestic abuse. Just dang! Thank you for covering these great docs!
Something I’d like to mention about DV, that Judy’s case exemplifies is that often times the most dangerous time period for the victim is during or immediately following an attempt to get out. If you or someone you care about is trying to leave a violent or toxic relationship please make sure you have a plan and support to do so safely. ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely check out The Way Down. As someone who has struggled with a relationship with food, Gwen Shamblin Lara was a disciple woman.
I watched Three Identical Strangers in my high school psychology class, and my heart broke for those brothers. People are not meant to be used as guinea pigs.
I randomly was watching this drama-doc of Genie the child who was locked in a room from baby to 13 years old "Mockingbirds Dont Sing" and the first documentary reminded me kinda of it.
Genie's story is so heartbreaking 😢
22:32 His statement gives off "I'm not racist. I have a black friend." Vibes. 🙄
Honestly, the fact that you were as calm as you were about the Vincent Chin case blew my mind. I was absolutely furious just hearing the Cliff Notes version here. I feel like I would cry all the way through. Those men should be in prison.
There are also Documentaries that have been banned for covering controversial political topics
Like:
Titicut Follies(1967)

23:50 I vividly remember this case because they showed the footage on the local news, and I was at a McDonald’s with my family. My mom made me switch seats with her so I wouldn’t have to see it.
Not to make this sadder and more disturbing for you, but a 2021 study of over 700 separated twins by Song et al found that twins separated at birth are more likely to develop psychiatric issues later in life. Now, I should clarify the study looked at people whose twins died within 60 days of being born (because it's way easier and more ethical to just follow up with people separated from their twin by bad luck than it is to try and run a whole conspiracy to separate the twins yourself), but I feel the take away was if you are a twin-less twin, it was a correlation and lots of the twin-less twins were fine, even most people who do have a mental health issue go on to recover and be fine, being a twin-less twin is not doom, however, if you are an experimenter wondering if you should separate a whole bunch of twins and triplets to run studies on them: you shouldn't. Song et. al never actually said you shouldn't, but the fact that intuitively that sounds bad and now we have data suggesting there's potential risk of harm I think just strongly suggests to not.
p.s I'm being sarcastic at the end. We all know it's bad.
We watched Three Identical Strangers in my high school genetics class. I remember the mood of the room just dropping as more and more was revealed about the situation. The sister reveal in particular was harrowing.
"I never once said anything directly to Chin...later on in the night I may have." This guy is an even worse liar than Donald Trump.
Ok, Kamala 😂
@@moviesbye9294 Grow up, little boy.
“They Shall Not Grow Old” is a crazy WWI war doc with real colorized footage
They literally stalked Vincent in their car. You telling me that isn’t considered pre-meditated. What really made me upset is that those men never payed his mother the money they owed her. And one of them still acts innocent to this day saying Vincent was the aggressor and plays the helpless old man role.
I have a documentary request. It's a bit of a change of pace, however I think it's worth checking out
Gimme Shelter (1970). It's a documentary about The Rolling Stones' infamous performance at Altamont Speedway in San Francisco, California. It became infamous for numerous reasons (reasons that the doc is MORE than happy to showcase), however the main reason is that towards the end of the band's set, a man high on methamphetamine and wielding a gun lunged towards the stage and was stabbed to death by a Hell's Angel
The doc itself is pretty scant on interviews; it'd be more accurate to say it's a concert film than anything else. But it unflinchingly shows just how scary, chaotic and drug-fueled this concert actually was.
When I was a kid in the 90's and cartoons/sitcoms would always have the parents go pale and freak out about their kids going to concerts alone I always thought it was some idea about dr-gs or stranger danger. Then through TV and RUclips I've learned about so many horrifying catastrophes happening at events prior to 1990 (fires, crushes, unstable structures, people being hurt in front of huge crowds, etc) that I now wonder if that was part of that wink wink nod to the older audience.
I work in a juvenile detention center for my county with some very high-profile cases (first degree murder, SA, etc.). I, too, struggle with the idea that you mentioned during Oso Blanco, especially when a lot of these people show no remorse for their actions. The thing that keeps me grounded is remembering that these kids are just that: kids. They have the capacity to change just like any other human. That last doc hit really close to home. Thanks for covering/recommending it.
