Michelina was such a fighter. To push through that terrifying situation by thinking about her son, and wearing that ring when she usually didn't. I'm so glad she didn't die.
The ring was like someone was protecting her. A higher power. Moms will do many things unheard of to protect or get to their children. Especially when the mom has that very deep mama bear instinct. Not all mothers have it. She did.
Imagine kidnapping a girl when you’re 20 years old, burying her alive in an attempt to slowly kill her, then being free by the time you’re 24. The justice system really confuses me sometimes, man.
Crazy that kidnapping charges get so little time when it's clear it's not intended to end well for the victim. Harsher punishments need to happen immediately
Crazy how in the states people think that some charges get little time when in the rest of the world we get really surprised about how MUCH time people get in the US for committing crimes. In my country a simple homicide can get you 4-5 years in jail and you could be out in 2 for good behavior. Kidnapping might get you 6 months lol.
@@Be_Careful_Bro “a simple homocide” yeah i dont want to live in whatever country ur in lol. but i agree i think most americans dont realize how messed up our judicial system is. just yesterday i watched a guy get sentenced to 22 yrs for stealing a car that had someone in it (called it kidnapping) and obv theres much worse examples
@@ShavaChihera nah, we’ve been handling it pretty fine. Have been for centuries. That rule applies if you’re the ‘don’t go over the tracks, Great Gatsby *clutches pearls* type’ 🌝
Sounds like stupid logic. 1. Not everybody is the same. 2. Get a second opinion on health matters. Not all doctors will have the same knowledge, let alone level of care. One of my docs is rather friendly as a person but he's not adequate for certain medical cases. He could have lead to the death of 2 people had they not seen another doctor. Doctors are human too, not perfect, and they work for the government in a manner of speaking. Just because there was one shady corporation, doesn't mean they all are. 3. Be responsible, and use your brain. It is not impossible for something bad to happen in any location. These guys weren't too bright, splitting the party in a foreign land, and making assumptions. Had they stayed together, had they gone to look for their friend, had they gone during a time it wasn't so crowded... bit of forethought goes a long way.
I gotta say that Charlie was one tough dude. Poor, shitty living condition, virtually starving, living his whole life with syphilis with the government hiding the cure and abusing him, and the dude still lives to 90!
Can you imagine the unbelievable pain and agony his parents felt finding out about their sons final hours, it would kill me as a parent. My Husband was murdered and 6yrs later I'm still not anywhere near " over it"
I know this comment is old, but I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope your husbands murderer faced justice. Although there’s never ‘getting over’ something like that, I do hope you and your family are beginning to heal ❤
My dad grew up in Matamoros and he was a teenager in the 80s, he told me that his neighbor was a woman who invited him to go to a party at a ranch once. My dad never ended up going but had considered it. She turned out to be one of the people in that cult. Gives me the shivers to this day...
That’s wild.. what a small world. Glad your dad’s ok!! What an absolutely heinous way to die.. what monsters! It really makes a person think about how many people they have encountered throughout their lives, that have tried or at least pondered killing them, when you hear these types of stories. I’ve definitely had some very, very disturbing experiences that came eerily close.. too close.. it makes you think, for sure.. Crazy shit...
The ritual is based on the horror flick "Borderland" scary ass movie to the max. There a special feature section which is like a mini documentary regarding the horrific story. Wild to the max'ola.
When I was in the 6th grade for the first time in a couple of months my father took out his bike support off of his car. He never really knew why but he just decided to do it that day. The same day, less than a mile away from my school an idiot with a small truck crashed his vehicle onto ours, if any car crashed like this and my father was using the bike support nothing serious would have happened, but if that truck specifically did, the suppor would go through the driver's skull. So, my father saved him from his own mistake, but almost beat him to death, when I noticed my father was almost jumping at that man I grabbed his arm and cried, and he got even more pissed with the guy because I was crying but he stayed with me. And fyi I've never seen my father be violent
@@Alyssamariem3 because the guy was really irresponsable and he was sure I was hurt, the only two times I saw my dad angry was because he thought his children were hurt
Well yes, but in the moment you wouldn't be thinking about that. You'd feel incredibly grateful, relieved and possibly proud, i'd imagine. @@sonicartzldesignerclan5763

I sustained quite a bit of neck and shoulder damage while I was in the Navy, which resulted in debilitating chronic neck and shoulder pain. It's ruined my life in a lot of ways. Every day I have to spend hours laying in bed to help cope with it. Now I actually look forward to my therapy sessions because of this channel. Thanks for making my prison a lot more entertaining and enjoyable. Keep up the great work, and godspeed brother!
@@aphoticjellyfish you have to prove your issues are service related. Unfortunately I can't prove anything, so no, I don't get any reimbursement for my chronic pain. I should've went to the VA hospital while I was in to get any issues on record before leaving the Navy. What's tricky about some chronic pain is that it can take a while to present itself in its full form, so I had no idea the small issues I had then would grow into the issues I have now
Have you looked into having the nerve severed? It's a last ditch solution. But it's easier to get adjusted to not having any feeling at all in that area, than constant pain. In my case my injury cut nerves that never healed right. So I'm numb on part of chest, neck/shoulder and parts of my hand. But it's so much better than constant horrible pain.
Poor Marc(k). He looked very much like a young Matt Damon. I think there was a movie regarding his highly unfortunate demise. Can't, for the life of me, recall the name of that film.
Growing up, one of the lessons my mother taught me, and I taught my son, is this - If anyone tries to force you into a vehicle, you do anything in yr power to avoid getting in!! She told us girls, once you are in that vehicle your chances of survival go down something like 80%!! So even if a gun is pointed at yr head, you bite, kick, scream, anything but get in!!! This really should be taught to every child, in my opinion.
All stories that start with "a deep trust or a deep distrust of the government" are usually never happy. We all have to be mindful of our decisions because being too naive or too paranoid ends badly.
"Hey look, so this happens when we don't treat a deadly disease we can cure easily. This study will truly help mankind!" ...Now back to monkey-torture for science.
Honestly, the third story is so extremely gruesome and of pure diabolical nature that it makes me physically sick. I live less than 5 M from the Mexican border (Chula Vista/San Diego, CA) and I dare not think about all the horrors and atrocities happening in this 'borderland'...
Must have been some piss his friend went for Mark goes to speak to girl.. his friend goes for a piss.. girl leaves.. Mark left alone.. friend still pissing.. Mark waits on his friend.. friend still pissing.. Mark gets attacked, runs away and is eventually captured.. friend still pissing..
My neighbor was on spring break in Mexico and met that group, Mark too, before he went missing. What a horrible tragedy. My heart aches for them, and his family to this day.
The fact that the guy from the first video was even able to find another friend evil and psychotic enough to help him with that demented task, really makes me wonder about all the people I know, and the chances that at least one of them are capable of such evil.
Every one of us are, love. Jung told us we must integrate the shadow. That’s the key to preventing ourselves from turning into the monsters we all have the potential to be.
@@deecollins9048 this is exactly what I thought of as well when I heard this story! Every one who got the vaccine is now a lab test animal, because no one knows what the long term effects will be!
@@PathologicallyIncurious this is true, but I still took both of mine without hesitation. IMO the risk with taking a vaccine is less than the risk of taking my chances with covid.
@@altaccount4697 I’m so sorry 😔 not only is it not a vac cine (it’s considered a gene therapy) but according to the research (by leading sc ien tists/vi rolo gists and do ct ors) which is being suppressed - shows the outcome for the victims of the current version of the tascceege atrocities is grim. I’m praying for all who have been jabbed 🙏🏻
My thought exactly. And the kind of murder intended would have been slow and painful. Moreover, it was torture in itself! Buried alive and left to die. Attempted murder 20 years? No. Life sentences. Both of them. The other creature was there and assisted with the murder plan! 4 years on kidnapping?? This is an atrocity of judgement that was passed!!!
@@bentonrp No real point in life sentences, may as well just hand out the death penalty. But if criminals knew they would always just get death for serious crimes why would they ever confess or even let the police take them alive? Reasonable sentences do help police and the community, yah they help criminals too but more good is done this way.
The only thing I've experienced worse than a spinal tap was an abscessed tooth...the Tuskegee Experiment was a horrific, monstrous thing on so many levels.
What he specifically didn’t mention, I’m sure to avoid trouble with his account, was that the government agency in charge of the Tuskegee Experiment is none other than the CDC!! Unfortunately, people still blindly trust them today.
@Aliabas-ts1ck A spinal tap is taking a big ass syringe to your spine to collect the fluid which you can use to test for certain illnesses An abscess tooth is an infection in the tooth typically due to poor oral hygiene or untreated things like cavities. The Tuskegee experiment is the second story of the video
Such an impressive amount of self driven confidence that woman has left me speechless, she dug herself out of a grave IN A TINY BOX, TIED UP!!!! that story gave me motivation
I don’t understand how attempted murder should be given a lesser penalty than murder. Why should you be given a lesser penalty because you didn’t succeed in what you had planned?
A murder can be between 25 years to life depending on the situation, an attempt of murder is treated them same but since the crime wasn't successful they can't take on extra things to extend the sentence also every case is different but the defendent most likely declared heat of the moment or insanity lowering a sentence and allowing reformation in some cases, the real question is why the fuck did patrick only get charged with kidnapping
@Kristen Hotchkiss Yes! THANK YOU. The only difference between actual and attempted is that with "attempted" they accidentally didn't succeed. They shouldn't get brownie points for being incompetent. The intention is the same.
That medical study experiment is one of the reasons why medical students take bioethics to learn that medical staff need to inform the patient with clear instructions in what the experiment is for and the risks for participating. However, not all medical schools require bioethics to be a prerequisite. It is an important class to take because so many medical doctors don't have that mindset for the patient, they like to experiment and having a patient to experiment on is their passion but not for the patient's wellbeing That's why you hear so many horror stories of ppl with bad doctors and why ppl never go to the doctors for any treatment
My 12 year old son randomly clicked on a MrBallen video and was so intrigued, he said, "Mom! You gotta watch this!" And we spent a week binge watching. Now, whenever there's a new video, my son and I watch together and discuss the stories afterwards.
The first story gave me the worst anxiety. She is an absolutely amazing woman! I swear there is nothing like the love and strength of a mother. I'm appalled that her would be murderer was given only 20 years and the other guy only got 4.5 for kidnapping.
I agree, both of their sentences were way too short! And how did the second guy only get charged with kidnapping when he helped to both cram her into that box and bury her alive? They are both monsters.
The Tuskegee experiment was a nightmare imposed on people already living in a nightmare. Thank you for acknowledging the dignity and humanity of the victims who perished and those who survived. This could have been any one of us.
@@kavin1814 No. What everyone "forgets" is that this town was the home of a syphilis colony for over 300 years. Syphilis as you know can kill an entire community like it did on an island in Greece. So just like the leopards in Hawaii , there were places where people with incurable disease could live in peace. The original 1930 syphilis study was only for one year, to track it's spread rate. But no one believed how fast it spread, so they replaced the Doctors, and did it again and again. The average spread rate in 1930 was 1 new infection from a known source every 10 years. In Macon it was 3 per year.
That last one really messed with me just imagining what that young man went through or thinking of what his parents went through finding out he died and how he died! Finding out ur child has died would be horrible, but finding out he was not only murdered but tortured! I can't even begin to imagine!
I agree. I was surprised to see that most seem to think the 1st and 2nd story are horrible. I think I'd choose syphilis or making it out of the box alive any day over me or a loved one being tortured and butchered to death. That's not my child and I feel absolutely horrible for him, the others and like you said, those left behind to relive it in their minds.
@John Lambert And look at what is crossing our border right now. If you don't know what I mean, go watch the Ed Calderon video on Vigilance Elite. It's crazy! So many people have gone missing. But, can't be reported. 💕🙏🇺🇸
The Tuskegee Experiment was something I’d been taught at a young age and a huge reason my grandfather and many of my older relatives has a tough time trusting the government or most doctors that they haven’t known for too long. The fact that this is information not widely known always takes me out a bit since always been it’s fairly common knowledge to me. It’s good to remember that this awful “experiment” hasn’t been lost to history.
@@AnHeC it would be nice for you to refer him and others to sources (books, articles, etc.) that would help educate themselves on the matter on a deeper level rather than being a condescending asshole. ❤️ the more people know the better, right?
Absolutely! It's ridiculous that he was only charged with kidnapping! And even with kidnapping, really... only 4 years? He likely served much less then, possibly only 2!
Thanks for doing the syphilis story : Every generation of American citizens should know that happened . I know of a young man who died of syphilis in the last decade : He had every symptom of an untreated schizophrenic and kept getting locked up in the mental hospital - He was non-compliant . He told them the meds made him feel terrible and didn’t help . It wasn’t until months before his death at 27 , they realized he had syphilis and it was too late to treat him. Apparently, there are today pockets of syphilis outbreaks . I can’t imagine how many men contracted the disease after sleeping with him. As his mental health declined he became more and more sexually solicitous. Why it took so long for the hospitals to think to test for syphilis ? We’ll never know . Something else the citizenry should be aware of . Thanks for doing consistently great programs ! 🌸
I was really confused at first cause all I read was "syphilis case" while at the beginning of the story and was blown away.. heartbreaking to know even the military was pushed away to continue this was brutal to hear
I'm of the opinion that every patient should be checked for physical disease/ailment before assuming it's a mental illness. Mind and body are connected, and so many physical problems present mental symptoms too.
If you want to know about another severely messed up project that I believe everyone should at least knows existed is the Kentler project. Fair warning, it's extremely hard to stomach learning about and involves children. It was a project that went on for 30 years in Germany starting in the 70's.
That spring break story breaks my heart for Mark his family and friends. I can't imagine losing someone that way. These stories are the ones I wish I had not heard of, they are unforgettable. Yesterday it was a teenager stuck upside down in his car, fortunate to be able to contact 911 and tragically died due to their failure to perform the one duty required for that job. I wish they were still here living their best life ♥️ RIP Boys😢
This is why I always go to a ten when someone is missing after an hour. The worst that happens is that they’re ok and I made a big deal. Worst case scenario is that they’ve been kidnapped/attacked and I did nothing.
Same here. I'm particularly over protective of my sister. There's a 15 year gap between us and luckily, she didn't have to go through a lot of the shit that the older kids in our family went through, because we tried to protect her and my youngest brother from what we went through with my father and his family and my older brother. Sometimes she's frustrated by my paranoia, but she knows where that concern comes from.
@@MizzShortai that’s a movie myth. That’s not true at all. Police will investigate any missing person even if they went missing 5 minutes ago if you have reason to believe something is wrong or that their missing is out of character or even if they said they would meet you somewhere at a certain time and that time passes and you can’t reach them you can file a report immediately
@@bsdevelopment8867 not always. I've seen a lot of true crime where they didn't go looking right away or as hard because they assumed it was just a runaway. I guess it also depends on where your from.
Love that the reaction to Mr B not feeling well but drives on and finishes the video isn't disdain to the video but concern that he feels better and to take time to recover. Still was a great video but love all the support. Great channel and great followers to be a part of.
Charlie’s story makes me so upset. How can humans do that to another human? Every time I think I know the horrors of racism, I learn something new about what happened to people based on their identity. We all need to be better people, including me
The government has lied and did horrible things to all of us. And to this day they are trying to perpetuate a race war. It's time that we all get together blacks and whites and realize that we are not the government. the government has taken everything and left us to fight each other for the scraps. The Democrats are the biggest Liars. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves it was the Republicans who gave black men the right to vote even before women. It's all horrible but it didn't happen to any of us. Those of us now have to do something to change things. The Democrats and the Republicans are all liars they all work for themselves and not for us. But we must come together they have divided and conquered us for far too long. I don't know the answers but I know them trying to continue to make us hate each other just because of the color of our skin is wrong
That kind of shit happens to the poor of any race that time it was black people but the point is it’s the poor and the weak that gets the shit end of the stick. Somehow we have to put honest people in government, it’s actually our fault that we let this happen, look at the people we vote for we end up putting the same people in office year after year and they are crooks and do nothing for 20 years or more and we keep voting them in. What the hell is wrong with us?
Very common for men to murder their female partners or ex partners. It's called male violence against women and is not surprising at all. And it does not happen the other way around. The stats of women killing their male partners are extremely low in comparison.
Saw where the second Story was going and everytime he pointed out, how Charly was still so grateful for this program and trusting in the Government, it broke my heart a little more.
The story of the young mother buried alive gave me serious anxiety. When she survived my heart soared! I'm so happy for her. It wasn't her time to go. I hope she lives a long and happy life!
@Care✝️aker You just know there are scary ass people out there that have done that and gotten away with it. I think about any other way to die would be a better way to go Q_Q
That story about the Tuskegee experiment is just so sad. I can't even imagine being in Charlie's position. Imagine having your hopes up about being in this "medical study" and then being told it was all fake and that you had this deadly disease. So crazy.
I appreciate the personal details in his telling of this shameless experiment. Thank goodness the truth came out. Experiments like these are the reason we have so many needed research regs now and IRB.
Patrick in the 1st story got off too light. He didn't only kidnap. He helped to put her in that box, helped dig her grave, helped cover it AND helped put a log on top of it. He's guilty of attempted murder, too. Damn it, I hate sneaky lawyers.
@@laurenyates9952 Believe me pal, lawyers ain't much better here in the States. Some of the lawyers here would quite literally give Saul Goodman a run for his money.
omg thank GOD! So relieved I found this comment. I clicked past that story once I heard they put her in a box and drove her to the forest, that's the most inhumane torturous way to kill someone, those men are literally not even human!!
Im from Matamoros, funny fact about the last case: The police followed the guy to the ranch cause Constanzo conviced his followers that they also would be invisible, so this guy was driving and ignored a police control cause he though they wouldnt able to see him. Then the police followed him to the ranch.
I'm a stay at home mom and your uploads are my favorite because I get a few minutes of something other than baby babble and videos or 6 year old ramblings lol. Thank you for your strange, dark, and mysterious content delivered in story format!

I was at UT-Austin during the time Mark Kilroy disappeared, and it was a HUGE deal. But when his remains were found … dear lord that was horrific. I still feel so awful for him and his loved ones.
I lived in Austin too at the time and it made me so angry to hear what happened to Mark Kilroy. I'm still mad about it. Same thing with Collene Reed who was abducted by McDuff from a car wash in Austin. My heart hurts for these people and their families.
All one can do is learn a life lesson from these tragedies. Do not just cross the border for a good time without having all the information you can get. Always designate one to not drink. Never EVER get separated. Lastly, never make assumptions.
Austinite here too, yeah and I remember that they raped him/the victims too just to instill more fear in them. Just awful.. makes me sick to know what all he went through.
If you really think about it Mr.Ballen is a life saver, warning us what to be aware of in life so this doesn’t happen to us! I was already aware of the abductions in Mexico this is why I do not go there anymore. Definitely appreciating these stories tho!
Just a note about the tuskeegee experiment, the blood tests were to find uninfected people and they were then injected with syphilis so they could be monitered throughout the infection
@@gokblok By being uneducated and vulnerable. At least that's what I'm supposed to say. In reality, I have no fucking idea. Some shit truly is common sense.
I mean i guess technically invincible doesnt mean immortal or invulnerable. It overall means you cannot be defeated. If it was his decision to be shot and killed he wasnt losing to anything and therefor his gods wouldnt prevent it?
Ive been watching SO MUCH of you.. everyday now for the past few months 🥺🤞 You help me get through a lot and even more as my family has went through a lot! I hope one day my cousins story gets out, my familys everything that has happened.
I was a preteen from Brownsville when this happened to Mark. We were warned not to party in Mexico because this could happen to us. Even now in my 40's this story scares the sh*t out of me.
The craziest thing about it was we don’t truly know why he did it if he believed it would make them invincible then he wouldn’t of had himself killed as far as we know it happened for no reason
@@dakodablack7312 I'm pretty sure he didn't think it would make him invincible, or at least he felt that he hadn't become invincible yet because he hadn't killed enough innocents and so when the police caught him he felt that he'd be better off living with the gods then rotting in a jail cell for the rest of his life. That's my take on it anyways.
Any where you go especially where there's a big night life crowd there's going to be shady people up to no good waiting for vulnerable people. I've been to mexico a few times with my friends and my husband and we made sure to be careful and pay attention. We also made sure to stay together and we didn't go to places where we'd be instantly recognized as tourists.
@@dakodablack7312 He did it because he was a psychopath who craved blood, attention and power among his followers. He got off on people's fear. Ugh! I'm so glad he's gone!
I mean, if the courts weren’t so sexist against men that wouldn’t even be a problem. It’s sad, truly. Whether the rumor is true or not, it’s sad that it had to come to that.
Listening to the woman digging out of her grave and I’m screaming “she’s gonna make it!!” These scumbags should have gotten more time. 4 years for helping someone murder someone else? Crazy.

Thinking much are just stories but knowing that they're not especially the last 1 but you do tell the stories or events very well. You draw me back every time and I've told numerous numerous people they need to listen to your stories. You just have a way of capturing the audience!
When I lived in Corpus Christi in the mid 90’s, I was warned not to go to matamoros because of rumors of satanic human sacrifices. I never knew it was true until this video.
My mother was told to NEVER take me or my sister because we were super pale and blond. Strangers would come up to touch us all the time. Honestly a little traumatizing. Being near the border is wild at times.
38,000 dollars per person is the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life when the government even in those days sent hundreds of millions of dollars overseas for ridiculous causes instead of taking care of people here in our own country that needed the help badly
The Overseas Help thing is kinda overrated. They just do that to put a certain country in a false sense of security to be ransacked economically later on for Economical Reasons. Well, have you ever seen the Government give a damn about a country that has no economical advantages?. Reminds me of the Banana Republic thing, I live in a country to where the US "Sent help to" so I can tell how they raped my homeland lol
You are THE BOMB, Mr. Allen...in the most awesome, respectful way. Thank you for all the tedious research you do to not only entertain, but educate us to all the good, bad, and ugly of this world. I love that you are very inclusive and show aspects of different people of different cultures and different places on this huge, wild, wonderful planet. Everyone wants to be heard and validated. You're a great narrator. Thank you.😊
What was particularly disgusting about the syphilis experiment was that when the researchers got exposed they tried hard to keep the experiment running even though there was no actual benefit as a treatment for syphilis had been found. The compensation the participants received was also insultingly low.
Imho, the government should just set them free if the government can't give them death penalty. I am sure the citizens can give these 2 assholes a 'better punishment'
By listening to the story, my guess is that they could not prove that Patrick was there when they brought her in the woods since she was in the box the whole time and there was no witnesses. This is based off of no facts at all and I am just guessing.
Just the tip of a very large and unsettling iceberg. Blind experiments, false flag operations, blatant illegal intelligence gathering ops, etc etc. These are just the things they've already admitted to or had inarguably leaked. And yet conspiracy theorists are crazy to most people. Interesting, this country of mine...
How many agree that Mr.Ballen deserves 10K more likes for simply saying the names, so flawlessly, of the two people in the 1st story? Best storyteller eva!!
Agreed. The only reason there’s dislikes is because he keeps telling us to mistreat the like button. They just wanted to give poor mr. likey a break from the abuse.
All the stories in this episode have people that should have been executed for their crimes (especially the doctors who experimented on those men with syphilis). Even the one where the girl lived, both men should have been sentenced to death. I think they should have been buried alive as punishment. Just cause she managed to break free doen't change what they did.
Both those sentences were BS!! They did their best to kill her, I think just because they are abject failures doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be tried for that intention
This is why when people say “oh but we’re family” or “oh but we’re best friends” it doesn’t mean shite... Anyone can harm you, especially those closer to you
I learned about the Tuskegee experiment when i was a kid and checked out a book and read it. I asked my teacher about it and BOY did i get a history lesson from her after school. They were NOT allowed to put these stories into our curriculum.
I'm from Brownsville, and the last story scared everyone. I was a kid when this happened, but it didn't stop me from going to matamoros when I turned 15 and party. Crazy how we didn't care even after that spring break.
Not true, being from Brownsville might not allowed you to see what happened... the whole city of Matamoros got self looked down, parents will not send kids to school amd if they did, they would wait outside the classrooms and schools. That club strip "Alvaro Obregon" was never the same afterwards, American tourists won't go anymore amd only locals after several months if not years ve back. Its funny, but it was like the pandemic for the first days... deserted strees streets amd businesses...

Sadly, the syphilis "experiment" is one more reason why many in the AA community don't trust doctors or medical science. May have been unethical to release the records but Kudos to that jr assistant that blew up the entire operation because what the "researchers" were doing was a far worse beast.
I just got granted a divorce from my now ex-wife that took fifteen years to get, and almost immediately after my lawyer calls, I see mr. Ballen has uploaded a new video! This is the best day of my freaking life!!
I always appreciate that you make us feel the horror and tragedy of situations, and empathize with the victims, but don't give us details that go too far and would be disrespectful to them and their families. You have good instincts for where the line should be and I just wanted to thank you for that.
Wrong response. You are making no sense with your hostile comment. Did you even read the comment because the commenter is thanking him for not crossing the line? 🙄
I feel terrible for everyone who was subjected to the Tuskegee experiment and the survivors deserved better compensation than $38.000 in my opinion. But I’m glad to hear that Charlie ended up living a long life.
I think people are confused who’s money the government is giving away as compensation… it’s our money. Our taxes. Every dollar someone worked hard for. Please think about this before you think they should be dishing it out no matter what it’s for. There isn’t a unlimited money tree. Soon our taxes will be 50% of our income with this mentality
@@Heavyisthecrown At least that part of the taxes would help someone. I'd be fine with that portion of taxes. It's the bullshit unnecessary ones that I don't want to pay.

The Mark Kilroy murder happened when I was in college. I grew up just outside Houston, and went to college in Texas, as well. My suitemate went to high school with Mark. Everyone I knew went to Mexico all of the time to party. The Matamoros incident was like something out of a nightmare. Everyone's parents immediately forbade us from ever going back. And I've never returned, almost 35 years later.
I remember when the third story happened. I was a kid and I remember feeling sorry for that boy and his family. No one should have to go through something so gruesome.
That story of the cult is so sickening to me, and so haunting. As a mom, I simply couldn't go on with life knowing what my precious son had been thru. I'd be constantly haunted and I'd never be normal or even function again. I am so so sorry to anyone who has lost loved ones to violence. My heart goes out to u all.

I recovered it took me about 2 years. It was insane. So try to put myself in marks place I feel so sorry for his soul. I would easily trade places with him I wish no one endure that kind of pain.

Yeah, as soon as I saw "infamous medical study in Alabama" in the description, I immediately knew it was the Tuskegee syphilis study. And people wonder why black people in particular are suspicious of the government. Gimme a break.
Whoa 😳 the “ bad blood” story hits home.! I’ve always been afraid of becoming a human experiment! Having doctors probe and use your body for research. It’s a scary world we live in. Stay safe ……..
Well, everyone who got the C19 shot was, in essence, a human guinea pig, as it was still in the early experimental phase and only able to be given to the public through an emergency authorization. They had/have no clue about any long-term side affects, and what side affects they knew about, they kept quiet on.

Life lessons that are still useful today:
1. Don’t go back to an ex
2. Don’t trust the government
3. Don’t go partying in Mexico

@@ShavaChihera nah, we’ve been handling it pretty fine. Have been for centuries. That rule applies if you’re the ‘don’t go over the tracks, Great Gatsby *clutches pearls* type’ 🌝
Gotcha, bro. Good advice
Sounds like stupid logic.
1. Not everybody is the same.
2. Get a second opinion on health matters. Not all doctors will have the same knowledge, let alone level of care. One of my docs is rather friendly as a person but he's not adequate for certain medical cases. He could have lead to the death of 2 people had they not seen another doctor. Doctors are human too, not perfect, and they work for the government in a manner of speaking. Just because there was one shady corporation, doesn't mean they all are.
3. Be responsible, and use your brain. It is not impossible for something bad to happen in any location. These guys weren't too bright, splitting the party in a foreign land, and making assumptions. Had they stayed together, had they gone to look for their friend, had they gone during a time it wasn't so crowded... bit of forethought goes a long way.
I gotta say that Charlie was one tough dude. Poor, shitty living condition, virtually starving, living his whole life with syphilis with the government hiding the cure and abusing him, and the dude still lives to 90!

His storytelling and personality really helped me accept my dads death.
True story boss!
My dad grew up in Matamoros and he was a teenager in the 80s, he told me that his neighbor was a woman who invited him to go to a party at a ranch once. My dad never ended up going but had considered it. She turned out to be one of the people in that cult. Gives me the shivers to this day...

That’s wild.. what a small world. Glad your dad’s ok!! What an absolutely heinous way to die.. what monsters!
It really makes a person think about how many people they have encountered throughout their lives, that have tried or at least pondered killing them, when you hear these types of stories. I’ve definitely had some very, very disturbing experiences that came eerily close.. too close.. it makes you think, for sure..

When I was in the 6th grade for the first time in a couple of months my father took out his bike support off of his car. He never really knew why but he just decided to do it that day. The same day, less than a mile away from my school an idiot with a small truck crashed his vehicle onto ours, if any car crashed like this and my father was using the bike support nothing serious would have happened, but if that truck specifically did, the suppor would go through the driver's skull. So, my father saved him from his own mistake, but almost beat him to death, when I noticed my father was almost jumping at that man I grabbed his arm and cried, and he got even more pissed with the guy because I was crying but he stayed with me. And fyi I've never seen my father be violent

Does the navy at least pay for your health problems?
@@aphoticjellyfish you have to prove your issues are service related. Unfortunately I can't prove anything, so no, I don't get any reimbursement for my chronic pain. I should've went to the VA hospital while I was in to get any issues on record before leaving the Navy. What's tricky about some chronic pain is that it can take a while to present itself in its full form, so I had no idea the small issues I had then would grow into the issues I have now
Have you looked into having the nerve severed? It's a last ditch solution. But it's easier to get adjusted to not having any feeling at all in that area, than constant pain.
In my case my injury cut nerves that never healed right. So I'm numb on part of chest, neck/shoulder and parts of my hand.
But it's so much better than constant horrible pain.

Poor Marc(k). He looked very much like a young Matt Damon. I think there was a movie regarding his highly unfortunate demise. Can't, for the life of me, recall the name of that film.
Growing up, one of the lessons my mother taught me, and I taught my son, is this - If anyone tries to force you into a vehicle, you do anything in yr power to avoid getting in!! She told us girls, once you are in that vehicle your chances of survival go down something like 80%!! So even if a gun is pointed at yr head, you bite, kick, scream, anything but get in!!!

A murder can be between 25 years to life depending on the situation, an attempt of murder is treated them same but since the crime wasn't successful they can't take on extra things to extend the sentence also every case is different but the defendent most likely declared heat of the moment or insanity lowering a sentence and allowing reformation in some cases, the real question is why the fuck did patrick only get charged with kidnapping
They are from a different country I’m assuming, maybe here in the US would of been more harsh

That medical study experiment is one of the reasons why medical students take bioethics to learn that medical staff need to inform the patient with clear instructions in what the experiment is for and the risks for participating. However, not all medical schools require bioethics to be a prerequisite. It is an important class to take because so many medical doctors don't have that mindset for the patient, they like to experiment and having a patient to experiment on is their passion but not for the patient's wellbeing
That's why you hear so many horror stories of ppl with bad doctors and why ppl never go to the doctors for any treatment

Syphilis as you know can kill an entire community like it did on an island in Greece.
So just like the leopards in Hawaii , there were places where people with incurable disease could live in peace.
The original 1930 syphilis study was only for one year, to track it's spread rate. But no one believed how fast it spread, so they replaced the Doctors, and did it again and again.
The average spread rate in 1930 was 1 new infection from a known source every 10 years. In Macon it was 3 per year.

Thanks for doing the syphilis story : Every generation of American citizens should know that happened . I know of a young man who died of syphilis in the last decade : He had every symptom of an untreated schizophrenic and kept getting locked up in the mental hospital - He was non-compliant . He told them the meds made him feel terrible and didn’t help . It wasn’t until months before his death at 27 , they realized he had syphilis and it was too late to treat him. Apparently, there are today pockets of syphilis outbreaks . I can’t imagine how many men contracted the disease after sleeping with him. As his mental health declined he became more and more sexually solicitous. Why it took so long for the hospitals to think to test for syphilis ? We’ll never know . Something else the citizenry should be aware of . Thanks for doing consistently great programs ! 🌸
I agree! I just learned this from this video! It’s an absolute tragedy they were believing they were being helped. Makes me sick!
I was really confused at first cause all I read was "syphilis case" while at the beginning of the story and was blown away.. heartbreaking to know even the military was pushed away to continue this was brutal to hear
I'm of the opinion that every patient should be checked for physical disease/ailment before assuming it's a mental illness.
Mind and body are connected, and so many physical problems present mental symptoms too.
Spot on!
If you want to know about another severely messed up project that I believe everyone should at least knows existed is the Kentler project. Fair warning, it's extremely hard to stomach learning about and involves children. It was a project that went on for 30 years in Germany starting in the 70's.
That spring break story breaks my heart for Mark his family and friends. I can't imagine losing someone that way. These stories are the ones I wish I had not heard of, they are unforgettable. Yesterday it was a teenager stuck upside down in his car, fortunate to be able to contact 911 and tragically died due to their failure to perform the one duty required for that job. I wish they were still here living their best life ♥️ RIP Boys😢
This is why I always go to a ten when someone is missing after an hour. The worst that happens is that they’re ok and I made a big deal. Worst case scenario is that they’ve been kidnapped/attacked and I did nothing.
I agree. The worst is that the authorities won't do anything until a day or so passes which by then unimaginable things can happen.
Same here. I'm particularly over protective of my sister. There's a 15 year gap between us and luckily, she didn't have to go through a lot of the shit that the older kids in our family went through, because we tried to protect her and my youngest brother from what we went through with my father and his family and my older brother. Sometimes she's frustrated by my paranoia, but she knows where that concern comes from.
@@MizzShortai that’s a movie myth. That’s not true at all. Police will investigate any missing person even if they went missing 5 minutes ago if you have reason to believe something is wrong or that their missing is out of character or even if they said they would meet you somewhere at a certain time and that time passes and you can’t reach them you can file a report immediately
@@bsdevelopment8867 not always. I've seen a lot of true crime where they didn't go looking right away or as hard because they assumed it was just a runaway. I guess it also depends on where your from.
@@MizzShortai that’s true police departments vary widely place to place
Whenever the people searching are "Hit with this horrible smell of death and decay" you just know it's over for the missing person.

Mr Ballen is an absolute legend. He is so dedicated to his followers he posts these videos and does these videos when he's sick as a dog
I thought he might be sick! Prayers for speedy recovery!
I thought he had just woken up. I hope he's not sick. 😞
I was also thinking something was not right with him and then I saw your comment about him being sick. That's true dedication on his behalf!!!
Hope you feel better soon .thanks for telling these strange dark and mysterious stories .

Charlie’s story makes me so upset. How can humans do that to another human? Every time I think I know the horrors of racism, I learn something new about what happened to people based on their identity. We all need to be better people, including me
The government has lied and did horrible things to all of us. And to this day they are trying to perpetuate a race war. It's time that we all get together blacks and whites and realize that we are not the government. the government has taken everything and left us to fight each other for the scraps. The Democrats are the biggest Liars. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves it was the Republicans who gave black men the right to vote even before women. It's all horrible but it didn't happen to any of us. Those of us now have to do something to change things. The Democrats and the Republicans are all liars they all work for themselves and not for us. But we must come together they have divided and conquered us for far too long. I don't know the answers but I know them trying to continue to make us hate each other just because of the color of our skin is wrong
Nobody wants to listen. We try to tell people about things that happen everyday and they don't believe us.

What the hell is wrong with us?

Very common for men to murder their female partners or ex partners. It's called male violence against women and is not surprising at all. And it does not happen the other way around. The stats of women killing their male partners are extremely low in comparison.

I was a preteen from Brownsville when this happened to Mark. We were warned not to party in Mexico because this could happen to us. Even now in my 40's this story scares the sh*t out of me.
The craziest thing about it was we don’t truly know why he did it if he believed it would make them invincible then he wouldn’t of had himself killed as far as we know it happened for no reason
@@dakodablack7312 I'm pretty sure he didn't think it would make him invincible, or at least he felt that he hadn't become invincible yet because he hadn't killed enough innocents and so when the police caught him he felt that he'd be better off living with the gods then rotting in a jail cell for the rest of his life. That's my take on it anyways.
Any where you go especially where there's a big night life crowd there's going to be shady people up to no good waiting for vulnerable people.

My mother was told to NEVER take me or my sister because we were super pale and blond. Strangers would come up to touch us all the time. Honestly a little traumatizing. Being near the border is wild at times.
38,000 dollars per person is the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life when the government even in those days sent hundreds of millions of dollars overseas for ridiculous causes instead of taking care of people here in our own country that needed the help badly
They got screwed twice.that really was a very disturbing story.being sick all those years.and knowing they could have helped them.thats beyond evil.
The Overseas Help thing is kinda overrated. They just do that to put a certain country in a false sense of security to be ransacked economically later on for Economical Reasons. Well, have you ever seen the Government give a damn about a country that has no economical advantages?. Reminds me of the Banana Republic thing, I live in a country to where the US "Sent help to" so I can tell how they raped my homeland lol

What was particularly disgusting about the syphilis experiment was that when the researchers got exposed they tried hard to keep the experiment running even though there was no actual benefit as a treatment for syphilis had been found.

5:08 the fact that Patrick was only sentenced for kidnapping is messed up. He was an accessory.
All the stories in this episode have people that should have been executed for their crimes (especially the doctors who experimented on those men with syphilis). Even the one where the girl lived, both men should have been sentenced to death. I think they should have been buried alive as punishment. Just cause she managed to break free doen't change what they did.
he probably claimed he was a victim of coercion from his friend too or some bullshit
He got a lesser sentence because he testified against the boyfriend. It was a plea deal. If he testifies, he gets a lesser sentence.
But if Jody gets caught with a couple pounds of weed it’s a life sentence
Both those sentences were BS!! They did their best to kill her, I think just because they are abject failures doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be tried for that intention
This is why when people say “oh but we’re family” or “oh but we’re best friends” it doesn’t mean shite... Anyone can harm you, especially those closer to you
That is y police start from ur family and inner circle first, then work out from there.

@@12runes damn I’m sorry man. I have been through some crazy pain as well and as much as I told myself that I can get back to who I was before, I know I’ll never be the same person I once was. No one can understand unless you’ve been through it yourself. I’ve gotten a lot better, but I’m still left with the fear, anxiety, agoraphobia because I’m afraid to do anything now. Man I hope you’re a lot better off than I am.
@@nflchick6333 yeah the only thing that effects me is I have hard time sleeping and when I do I wake up in a panic at times. But at least I can walk again 🤣 thats a plus I guess. Yeah I really wish I could fix everyones suffering. I would do anything for that.
@@nflchick6333 looks like we'll be hearing about you on here soon
@@360.Tapestry that’s fucked. Just because their are bad people in the world doesn’t mean you shouldn’t show people compassion.
I figured out what the 2nd story was about almost immediately and it made me so sad. I just shook my head the whole time I was listening.
Yeah, as soon as I saw "infamous medical study in Alabama" in the description, I immediately knew it was the Tuskegee syphilis study. And people wonder why black people in particular are suspicious of the government. Gimme a break.
Who ever was responsible should be put to death by electric chair. This is unbelivable. Like the Nazis.
I love these videos. I'm a mailman from Texas, and I just put these on and walk. I've even showed them to my family. My wife loves this stuff.
Whoa 😳 the “ bad blood” story hits home.! I’ve always been afraid of becoming a human experiment! Having doctors probe and use your body for research. It’s a scary world we live in. Stay safe ……..
Well, everyone who got the C19 shot was, in essence, a human guinea pig, as it was still in the early experimental phase and only able to be given to the public through an emergency authorization. They had/have no clue about any long-term side affects, and what side affects they knew about, they kept quiet on.
Covid….
@@Heavyisthecrownand this is exactly why i don't trust the gov't. Polio? Sure. BCG? Sure. Not covid vaccine though
