      It takes a great inner strength to learn how to see the truth about our world, and to understand that, yes, we are all victims. Life is beautiful, but there's a bad side to it. If I knew a way to do it, I'd fix our world. There are people who can easily destroy and/or kill other people, but they don't want anything to happen to them. It's a tricky world. It was always women and girls who wanted to save my life. I was once out of touch with reality. Being raised by crazy people and in a crazy neighborhood isn't easy, but I snapped out of it. I am better than those people because I'd never purposely harm/kill anyone. I live to try to help other nice human beings, but I'd never help Nicholas. The evil wants us to think that we should leave nature as it is too, but I see it as being a product of insanity. My goal in live is to latch on to what's good and what helps to stop torment, while trying to get rid off its bad parts. I hate old sayings, "the world doesn't need changing?" Yes it does, and I am trying to do my part to contribute to changing it.

    • @guitarttimman
      @guitarttimman Год назад

      People need to learn the truth, and to start looking at people's track record instead of listening to the truly bad ones. The evil ones. I was at the library today, and I overheard one lady telling another one that I look like a serial killer. Well, I'm not one! I've never killed anyone. It's people like that who are disgusting! That woman doesn't know me, but yet she'd say a horrible thing like that about me? Those are the evil ones! What if she were to convince others of her lie? She's the devil! I'm a school teacher, and I am a very gentle human person.

    • @guitarttimman
      @guitarttimman Год назад

      Oh and Satanists? When I was a young boy, their goal was to keep me from ever having a girlfriend. They were vicious people. They went around selling drugs to children and killing people, but yet they had the audacity to claim that I some how caused all of this horror to happen? They're liars. They tried their very best to get me to become a homosexual, but I never did. They even paid people money to do things to me. When I was just 13 years old, I was invited to a party, given knock out drops in a cup of Pepsi, and raped. They thought that was an automatic "gay stamp" but it wasn't. I just went on about my life, and I still got great looking girlfriends. I hate those people! They claim that they don't harm anyone, but they do! Nikolas is a professed Satanist. He would kill you and/or your daughter, but me? I've already saved a lot of lives. I've been working in education for a very long time, and I am currently doing it again. I am a school teacher. People want to know who the dangerous ones are? Satanists, voodoo people, Brujeria People! Devil people. Many of them are well educated and they do know how to put on an act. You can spot those people if you listen to them. People like that lady at the library who said that about me. She doesn't even know me, but yet she had the audacity to tell someone that I look like a serial killer? Contrary to what she said about me, I am a saver of lives. I love nice people, but I don't want to save killers or they ones who try to destroy others with lies. I despise people like that!

    I know all the families are broken but there's something so visceral about Meadow's moms pain. This woman is genuinely broken I would not hesitate to believe that she still cries most of the day every day even 4 and a half years later. She is a broken woman. Every time she's been seen in court (which isn't often) she cries the entire time even when nothing about Meadow is being said. She breaks my heart I wish I could take some of her pain away I've never seen someone so broken in all the time I've been watching true crime/court cases.

Meadow had even gotten a wishbone tattoo when she turned 18 in honor of her mother. I can’t imagine the indescribable pain she and all of the families must be feeling.

      He’s part of our society.. you wanna put all the blame on the shooter but not on our support systems that absolutely failed this kid. Mental health services, Law enforcement, the School, Nobody showed Nikolas that they cared for him which definitely is a factor in why he did what he did.
      Not trying to condone what he did of course, but if we could have only just have empathy for these people when they were showing warning signs, like getting into fights at school, making threats, and stop labeling them as troubled or crazy, and adding to this lifetime of loneliness and rejection they feel, and make our support systems better then they are now, then we can prevent these types of perpetrators from ever getting to a point where they have to go in a murder spree.
