I need to stop watching these videos before they put me on a watch list
TRUTH
me too
Ted John me too lol just came from a ted bundy interview
I think by putting thumbs up on your comment got me on that list
Max Bordakh ur welcome
this guy is obviously going through shock and denial. they shouldn't have interviewed him.
ENnNce - I agree. I wouldn’t have done it. What is the upside to talking?
He's talking like he's blaming everyone but Stephen.
Agree all he did was defend his brother and talk jiberish .....
I’m not sure if there is a code of ethics for journalism, written or unwritten, but one has to wonder if this was getting near the line.
But if he was black you would have your popcorn out and have everything bad to say gotta love America
“My heart is torn for all these people, but I can’t tell you why Steve did what he did, it doesn’t make sense” - man this guy really managed to hold it together and sum it all up there
He shouldn't have granted an interview so quickly. It's obvious he had only begun to grasp what happened.
Would you rather him speak like in one of them fake formal interviews? This may be exploitative but I feel lucky to witness such a real interview, fascinating stuff. Also people will not hassle him I hope after seeing this, you would have to be unsocialized AF to think he's guilty of something.
They were on his door 24/7 harassing him and his family ,that was the only way to stop it
They shouldn't have asked him
Clearly he’s having a mental breakdown,, we can’t blame him yall !!!
He is in shock.i can't imagine what this man and his family is going through.I would be blown away.He didn't know the dark side of his brother.Clearly no one did.
50/50 type person good job
Stressed ouT!!!
Agreed. It's the "journalists" who are to blame here. They took advantage of a man in shock and grief.
ruclips.net/video/rkqPea9wSfo/видео.html WATCH STEPHEN WAS FRAMED
There were 59 deaths and 851 injured in this massacre. I don't think too many people will mind a little "adult language".

@@profuht no, most of the hundreds of injured were actually hurt getting trampled by people running and bullet shrapnel
ruclips.net/video/rkqPea9wSfo/видео.html STEPHEN WAS FRAMED
TSDF Army bullet shrapnel....excuse me?
I like this dude, he isn't playing the "my brother is a black sheep" just to please people. he's straight up honest and he's defending his family like a real man should. he's heart broken about the whole situation, including losing a brother in a horrible way
He’s definitely in shock. Such a stark difference to the Laundrie family case
@@LoneStarStinger the laundry's did nothing wrong either though. Everyone wants to lynch them but that's their son. They let the lawyers do the talking and just shut everyone out for their sons sake. Any loving parent would do the same. I'm sure they're also heart broken about everything that went down, including a young girl losing her life.
💯
@@ericaasen4512 agreed
@@ericaasen4512 yeah but when they joined the search they found him after like an hour... despite prior to that they had used every resource imagine and still couldn't find him. That's BS
The high strung rambling, the divulging of personal history, the talking about the brother he knew, the shock and grief are so clear. I hope his family has gotten counseling, this is so sad and heart shattering.
Just by Eric's body language and mannerisms, I bet he went into the house afterwards and had a breakdown.
i don’t know how they interview him in that state of mind
@@alexissazo5459 because they don’t care about people
Time stamp 7:25 shows a clump of white amphetamine he seems to have snorted. This family is all twisted. Needs help!!
another handfull of pills.
@@joshuapark1749 i regret clicking that time stamp and watching him suck his snot back up his nose. thanks.
Wtf is wrong with these journalist, he was in shock as well and i can just imagine how devastated his family would have felt.
Eric knew immediately that the media would be hounding his family trying to find answers. He also knows the media is just looking for good sensational content for viewers, so he decided to go out on his lawn and provide the media with "good TV" as an effort to keep his elderly mother from having to deal with them.
Ultimately though it goes back to your point of "WTF is wrong with these journalists". Unfortunately, that's just the sad world we live in today. And as you said, I can't imagine trying to understand and cope with what my own brother/son had done.
Wierd this guy wanted to talk
@@chrisslate1506 yes

Oops. I came here to copy and paste it in a different thread but I accidentally posted it here again.
When he said “ i hope they find a tumor in his head or we’re in trouble” is lit the bottom line of all the interview. How can a “normal” person do this ? No clues, no sign no anything. Agree with him.
It's his brother who he loved. No matter how villainous or horrible he may have been in his final moments, this is the guy's brother we're talking about. He looked up to him, he cared about him, he loved him. He is trying to find some way to remember him that doesn't completely desecrate his memory, which is incredibly difficult to do obviously, but could you imagine? It's not our job to do that. This man was sick and twisted of course, we know that, we don't have to love him, but good grief give this man a break.
The brother is just as sick as his criminal brother and father
This is an example of the news exploiting someone's grief! SAD!
Patricia he didn't have to do an interview.
@@markpaycer6908 No he didn't but I'd be willing to bet they called him not the other way around, they exploited him and what he was going through.
I agree and people were making memes on his so called “Taco Bell” comment. This is someone whose brother just killed, slaughtered and maimed HUNDREDS of people AND is grieving for him
It may be funny to some people but to me it’s not
Yet here you are watching!
@@markpaycer6908 Had he not they would have went after him as a suspect.
He’s hysterical because he doesn’t know why it happened either 😔
Poor guy's a victim, too, in a way.
He didn't deserve to lose his brother in such a confusingly violent fashion, just like the actual victims didn't deserve to lose their lives.
It's awful and sad all around.
@@kingayy9267 This interview is 100% honesty. Guy is obviously shook by this happening. I can't believe this whole thing is as simple as it seems to be. His brother isn't to blame so he's not taking any. What a tragic and sad story from every angle.
This Steve sounds like an all around great guy!
Stephen paddocks motive was that the casinos blocked him from earning loyalty rewards points (that are like cash back for the casino store) on his gambling because he was breaking even and earning a lot of points as a hustle. It was like a side job for him and he was already kicked out of Reno. The Casinos donate to the sheriffs election and they dont want the motive to get out because they think it makes the casino look bad or implicates their liability to the victim. the casino also sued the victims of the shooting for getting shot on their property.
He seems like a decent man. I can’t imagine what he must be going through. I’m sure he loves his brother and can’t believe what he’s done. This man is grappling with the reality of it all.
This is one of the best interviews ever. That poor guy is having a complete breakdown. RIP to all the victims.
He's a well spoken guy. He is just as bewildered as everyone. Crazy experience.

Well spoken? No he wasn't. He rambled, was all over the place, and repeated stories.
@@Anona_Meows Yea and? His own brother just committed the deadliest mass shooting in US history. How would you feel?
@@d-james255 Nerd.
This is a brother in shock. He's still trying to comprehend. I feel for him and his family. His brother did this, not his family.

Really feel for the brother, he finds it so hard to reconcile the person he knew with the person who did this. Such a conflicting loss. And the media should’ve left him alone to process all this, because he truly has none of the answers that they want from him. And it’s scary to everyone because ultimately there seems to be no real reason, no warning signs, why he decided to become a mass murderer and then commit suicide. Just seemed to be a normal, if extraordinarily rich guy, valued his privacy, cared about his family and friends and girlfriend..
Is this his Chinese girlfriend speaking holy sh*t
This was and will probably be the first time and only time we hear a personal view from a family member of someone who was the lone purpatror of a mass shooting. He knew that his brother committed this act , but would never have imagined his brother could do this. He's even in denial that his brother must have been in some mental state to do what he did. This interview shows grief, anguish, guilt, anger, frustration and hurt all at the same time. I hope his family find peace.
Plot twist, his brother didn’t do it.
I wonder if he has a attorney. He needs to stop talking to the press.
IKR! I was thinking the same thing.
Why? He didn't do anything wrong. You can't charge him with his brother's crimes.
The apple don't fall too far from the tree.
Remember that.
Nobody makes money as a gambler.
All gamblers lose in the long term. And video poker? Fixed odds betting terminals will drain all players of their cash.
You can't use maths to win at video poker. His money came from something else. The gambling was a way to launder the money.
I used to gamble and know a lot of "professional" gamblers. Either this guy was using the gambling as a front or he had ru through all his money and was bullshitting his equally tarded brother about being a winner. But if he wasn't a winner, where was the endless cash coming from. Strange indeed
.."something happened to Steve.." Yep, and my bet is on one or more of our 'three letter Agencies' being that 'something'..
This is a real reaction. Its chilling and it hurts my heart. I can’t imagine what his mind was trying to articulate and process.
Most certainly
No it's not. He is an actor.
@@irrelevantideology9640 absolutely he’s oozing “actor” 100%
@@irrelevantideology9640 🙄🤦♂️
Let him been black I’m sure the reaction wouldn’t be the same
Actually, I can relate to his reaction. When I was 19 beginning my second year of university, one of my classmates killed both his parents with a machete, then spent hours writing on the walls of the rooms upstairs with their blood, an apology letter to his only sibling, his brother, before killing himself. I just didn’t know how to process it, how to reconcile the kind, fun loving, gentlemanly friend that I knew, who did a lot of charity work and volunteered at several shelters, got up at 4.30 am everyday to pray, with.. this. Killing a stranger is bad enough, your own parents and then yourself? Tear your own family apart, leaving your own brother completely alone in this world. Like how?? It’s been years yet it’s still hard for me to think about him in a better light-the final act just.. just about wipes out all the good he did before and I have to ask God to forgive him for me, because I’m not sure I ever will.
Don't take that on. Don't hurt yourself judging him.
What’s his name?
I can't even imagine how one moves on from this. How one can even try to separate such a tragedy from the brother you loved and knew. So heart breaking to watch his mind scramble for the good in the brother he loved. Anyone is capable of horrible & evil things, period. I hope Eric, his mother & any surviving siblings/family are finding some semblance of peace these days.
🫵🏻🤡
I cant help but feel for this man. It seems like he really loved his brother and he's obviously in a state of shock and disbelieve.
I sure would be... And it seems like they weren't super close. And I have family like that, I love them, but haven't seen them in years... Let a news story pop up on tv saying one of those family members did something like this I would be floored. I'd probably sound just like this guy if I was interviewed. I can't even imagine it to even begin to know what my response would be.
@@rebexestes5206 same i dont know who my family really is and my family also doesnt really know me so i can feel for this man as well you can tell he knows as much as us.
I feel weird after watching this.

Me Toooo!
No joke. Very strange
cause his brother was framed
Jer Szak what color are these Jews?
we still to this day have ZERO information regarding why stephen paddock did what he did. they swept this under the rug so fast
feels like so many people just want to bury certain bad events like this one deep down the earth and never want to hear it again. That might be the reason, or possible something darker going on that the public doesn't know.
this is heartbreakingly relatable. he just knew his brother steve. people can hide darkness so well and the poor guy is just grasping for straws.
After 33 min of this guy talking...every reporter there says to themselves...
"Ok...we got absolutely nothing here"
it was 33 mins for a reason
Except that they’re rich
@bluegoldginger damn why so many exclamation points damn
This video has 3 million views, I think they’re happy
Maybe if you’re an idiot. What I got from this guy rambling is that Steve was a quirky guy that did what he wanted. What that basically means is that their is no “why”. And even if their was a why you weren’t gonna find out cause Steve wouldn’t allow that.
I feel bad for this guy, u can see him shaking and the pain in his voice. Hope he’s doing well today
And please for those people is going to blame the family of stephen Paddock his brother, his nephew and his mother it's not their fault of what Stephen's Action.
I don’t know if he can ever get over something like this.
Still feel bad for him?
@@dannyboi7695 Psychopath - was my first impression when they interviewed him. After 4 years i have the same strange feelings, this guy is evil and dangerous!
Dude is a little out there too...hes holding back alot ... he knows y his bro was loosing it...its all in his body movement's and voice...im not a expert on this but just watch
This tragic story is one we all will never forget. Sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.
Complete lack of empathy for like 500 people
his brother is reacting the way any brother would prob react in his shoes
Yes, but he’s rich so ultimately he’ll be fine.
Like he said, his brother could spend $100,000 at a casino in hours.
He’s probably more upset about the prospect of paying marginally higher taxes than he his about anything Stephen did.

He knows a *lot* more than he's trying to portray. This is all an act.
Imagine not turning off your phone when the first one interrupted the interview. Incompetent, inconsiderate journalists
This dude ain’t even crying this whole thing was a Psyop
This guy needs a press person so he don't have to keep rambling. He deserves privacy. I think he keeps talking because he feels obligated too because of his brothers action.
He memorized the monologue they told him to say so he had to say the entire thing. That's why the reporters barely interrupt him.
@@ASMRGRATITUDE lold
This here folks is uncut, unedited, raw footage of a man telling the world everything he knows about his dead brother, days after he killed 59 and injured 500. This is real emotional trauma, shock, stress, and anxiety all bottled up and poored out for the world to see. Then people ask why he acts a certain way, or says certain things. Dude probably still hasn't slept to this day. Give him a break all you top tier "youtube detectives."
lol
You go ahead and drink the kool aid
If you can't see what most of us can, that this man has something seriously wrong with him, then maybe you have had the luck to never encounter a sociopathic narcissist. Or you might be one. He has zero empathy for the victims. Many family members of mass killers have gone on TV under similar circumstances and did not act this way & say these things. Also, if they're so rich they could easily move into hiding and cooperate with the police only. He's enjoying the bragging & has moments when he knows he's going too far but he can't seem to stop himself. The things he said were repugnant & not normal. A normal person under similar circumstances would be begging the victims for forgiveness even if the weren't at fault, would be distraught for the victims & would state that he would give his life to save them if he only could have. This guy didn't even think to say these things because he is not normal. If you can't see it hmm
"youtube detectives." Bravo good sir lol
Beth, you make a good point. Though you should know that not everyone reatcs the same, and not every sociopath acts the same, even if he was one. You know, this was the biggest shooting in american history, how would you react if you were recorded for the whole, curious world to see to tell something that was very emotional?
Raw reaction. We oftentimes hear and see the victim's family but how about the shooter's family, the murderer's family. This type of interview is really a gem because it is rare to see suspect's family be emotional, shocked and distraught. You don't see Ted Bundy's family like this, Adolf Hitler's family or even the Tops Supermarket shooter's parents who shot 9 black people the other day in New York. Same as the victim's family they are also grieving and in disbelief that the person they think they knew could do a heinous crime.
Since when does the news let somebody just talk for 33 minutes . Oh wait did I say 33
It’s called a breaking news press conference.
People don't understand what this guy is trying to get across.
He's saying he doesn't understand.
He's doesn't understand how it could have happened. Good on this guy for being so open and talking about it.
He took 30 minutes out of his day to speak to them and talk about his brother.
He explained his wealth, he explained his intelligence.
No he took 30m out f his time to push the narrative!! Unplug from the Matrix!!
His wealth and intelligence has nothing to do with the fact that he was a nutcase for firing on a crowd of innocent people. This arrogant guy is just bragging about wealth.
Dude, you're being gullible.. put your FEELINGS aside for a second and look at him, listen to his contradictions.. take notes of how he knows his brother.... yet he didn't know him well. He's lying.. very poor acting watch it again
Randy Rush Are you saying Steve's brother is lying in this video? Just trying to understand here...
maybe he is a actor
I feel so horrible for this man, he seems like a nice guy and his brother has ruined his name and any chance of recovery that this family will go through. Imagine growing up knowing that a past generation was a mass shooter that killed 50 people.
His brother did nothing the government staged this, then tried to charge his brother with child P$rn charges.
On Judgement Day you're going to be shocked at what some of your relatives have done throughout the years.
You don't look to a brother by what he's done but as a personal level because a sibling is one who understands and has been with the individual the most.
@@jadgbanzer9246 Based!
The shooter had worked his entire life at LockHeed Martin.
People on here going on and on about how good of a man this guy is but all he keeps talking about is how is brother is wealthy, successful an such a good gambler. He should be talking about how sorry he is for all the lives his brother took and how he is grieving for the families involved.
He didn’t shoot anyone lol why can’t people understand that? It’s not hard to understand that simple thing.
@@AC-te9dr you don’t get it wacana
Well said. Is this really how a “great guy” talks?

This is so sad. He clearly needed mental health help. I can’t imagine finding out one of my close family members killed and wounded dozens of people, and then themselves...and with no explanation or suicide note. The media is wrong for doing this interview. Also, I think people forget that the families of these shooters are victims too. This man hadn’t even began to comprehend the scope of what his brother did, and it is probably hard to reconcile the brother he knew and loved to the monster that is responsible for this disgusting act of violence.

wonder if he's the other shooter? is he the beneficiary of his brothers wealth?
Tiger Coffman stop. Law enforcement will investigate everything but you don’t need to make stuff up and besmirch a man who we know nothing about.
Excellent point. Even if they were caught off guard by his hysterics, not one of them went in to reel him back in to the relevant information. They may have been waiting for choice nuggets but when he kept repeating the same thing over & over that was their queue to lead the topics. Remember when Hilary had those moments of weirdness caught on camera, that didn't stop the reporters from continuing to question her accordingly.
LaChicaTieneTumbao The reporters are just happy he’s talking and want to keep him talking because it’s good tv. Some are trying to interject but it wasn’t very effective.

This guy is obviously still in shock and shouldn't be talking to the media.
But they'll keep sticking cameras in his face because... clicks. We all watched it, too. Guess we're all a little guilty.
This guy is obviously a psycho/sociopath.
He shouldn't be talking because he is so far removed from the situation and will say all kinds of dumb things like anybody else.

You need a lesson in how to spot an actor.
The "We ate TTHHOUSANDS of dollars of sushi" while clapping his hands to emphasize part really bugged me.
Sushi sucks!
This makes me sad, I feel so bad for this man. To have someone so close to him do something this horrible and have everyone expect answers from him. Prayers for the victims of this shooting and the Paddock family. These people don't deserve the harrasment that comes from this massacre.
We don't think Steve was crazy for gambling we think he was insane for killing people

A stable family is most important. I've met plenty of fathered kids who were very messed up. He's saying life was tough and they moved past it to become successful people. That's what I get from his rambling.
this man is going through a lot of emotions.
You guys are so gullible.. first of all it's impossible for one man to shoot that many people accurate but you're the type that still believe a 90 lb kid could have a 99.9% accuracy with 160 lb of gear on costing about $10,000 but he's like 15

Well the network needs money so they gonna interview him anyway. But I totally agree, he needs some good therapist.
C C exactly i see this and i want to give the guy a hug bc sure we dont know but you need to imagine what it would be like for everything hes saying to be true. Plus it rly seems genuine to me. And the funny thing is if he saw your comments i think he'd be the type of person to be understanding.
@Heather Swanson m
I feel sorry for the guy. His brothers actions are not his responsibility.
The other day I also watched a documentary about the Parkland shooter. His brother was also being harassed, because of his brothers actions.
What both of them did was inexcusable, but let's just stick to holding the single individuals responsible, not families and relatives.
Stephen paddocks motive was that the casinos blocked him from earning loyalty rewards points (that are like cash back for the casino store) on his gambling because he was breaking even and earning a lot of points as a hustle. It was like a side job for him and he was already kicked out of Reno. The Casinos donate to the sheriffs election and they dont want the motive to get out because they think it makes the casino look bad or implicates their liability to the victim. the casino also sued the victims of the shooting for getting shot on their property.
This is NOT, "you and me."
The brother should have stayed in the house. He did not engender any sympathy for himself or his murderous brother, in my opinion. Obviously he was still in shock and it's too bad that journalists opportunistically plied him with questions, when he'd barely had a chance to fully understand what his brother had done.
This is the type of guy the news loves.
I know hey? I feel like they took advantage of him 😢😢😢

The same story 99.9% of the time. The people who knew the killer was shocked, they never thought the guy was capable of doing anything like that. You have to feel bad for the family that will have to live with this the rest of their lives.
This guy is just in a crazy state of mind, the media should not have bothered him this soon after the shooting.

The press shouldn't be interviewing the families of mass shooters. That should be the job of the FBI.
Orome that's completely true
all depends if your an actor with a script
This guy is one of the MOST authentic, real people Ive ever heard interview. I think his words and behavior are 100% in tune with the situation he was thrown into. People...are just...people...
This guy is all over the place giving answers no one has asked… he’s completely unraveling and obviously heart broken
I'm no conspiracy theorist whatsoever but I got acting vibes.
@@rachelclaire7185 yes. This is acting, actually 'scenery chewing'.
For someone who has only spoken one other time asides this, he was pretty well spoken.
"I don't want to talk about me" (20 minutes after he talks about himself)
@mymy: He said that at 5:57. You doing that is like everyone else here who wants to TRY HARD to see evil in this guy. He is struggling to cope and is angry that he saw nothing to alert him ahead about his brother and angry at the assault at his residence and toward his family's peace and perhaps angry that the story MIGHT be false and his brother COULD have been used as a patsy for some reason unknown yet. Give this guy a break. He's trying to make the point that he thought his family was within the range of 'normalish' as a family. His story rings true to me. The big question is WHERE and HOW did his brother get the money? THAT is what sounds so peculiar. The casinos wouldnt have wanted him around and given him rooms, etc, IF they kept losing money to his skills. SO there is some OTHER way that he made LOTS of money. I havent heard from any source about just HOW he made all that much money. Follow the money trail...
And keeps referring to himself in the third person
ussgreen He did say that at 5:57, but also after 20 minutes. I have empathy for his anger and confusion about his brother, but it does no one any good (including himself and his kids) for him to ramble on to the press about nonsense. He should seek therapy and talk to the FBI when they question him. I almost feel bad for him that he has to analyze and talk about his brother to the press (who is just exploiting his vulnerability) because he has no one else to "conjecture" to.
I hope he has managed to find some semblance of peace. My heart goes out to him so much.
He was caught with child prawns the next year
Why is this guy vigorously defending his AMAZING brother who killed 60 people and wounded about 800.. Mad...
I know ❤
WoW...........I’m gobsmacked!!! This is a perfect example of just not saying anything and keeping your mouth closed!!! Please just stop talking!!! 😳
Renie Handler why? He is giving us a lot of information.
This guy's in shock, it is not sinking in yet.
Kathalana Oneg it's fake
Motor Boat tf
it's a actor....
He's not in shock. He knows his brother was effed up.This guys is disgustingly histrionic. Over-acting, don't fall for his "he was a normal guy" pleas. Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree usually.
how is he in shock when his family has a history of violence
He is in shock. At first watching this video was making me angry because my friend’s daughter shot was severely wounded by his brother. Him talking about being wealthy and seeming to brush the shooting off was making me livid. I now see he is in shock and plainly trying to process what his brother did.
This poor man and his family have to be going through so much
Stephen paddocks motive was that the casinos blocked him from earning loyalty rewards points (that are like cash back for the casino store) on his gambling because he was breaking even and earning a lot of points as a hustle. It was like a side job for him and he was already kicked out of Reno. The Casinos donate to the sheriffs election and they dont want the motive to get out because they think it makes the casino look bad or implicates their liability to the victim. the casino also sued the victims of the shooting for getting shot on their property.
You guys have to realize
Hes in so much shock
Being in shock is very dehilibitating
It makes everything so hard to say
Rambling and having mixed emotions is very common
Champ Tyrone West in a state of shock u can't really speak. He's not in shock he's either a weird guy or he's acting. But in shock?... no.
4atlanta4 his brother just shot and killed 59 people of course hes in shock
Champ Tyrone West Yeah unless he knew about It he is a strange man and he is acting like it's a game.
Debilitating
You must not know a lot of people. When my grandmother died, my cousin talked incessantly due to the pain of losing someone.
Man---He probably should have ducked those reporters until he had a chance to process everything.
I swear I've seen this guy before. Amazing these journalists just stood there quietly while he told the the whole family history.
I'm surprised, and very pleased, at the maturity level of the comments section in this video. Very understanding with regards to the brother's state of mind and behavior, and not apportioning any blame to him for the crimes of his brother without any evidence of his culpability.
Takes a very open minded and intelligent person to take the above position; considering that his brother was responsible for one of the worst mass shootings in American modern history.
Agreed. Sad and horrible as this story is, at least the emotional maturity here in the comment section is one of the lighter parts in the darkness. You don't usually see that here. Hell, the comment section is more understanding than whoever wrote the description of the video, even. They're calling it a "rambling and wide-ranging interview", which makes it sound as if Eric would be acting crazy or something, because he's the shooter's brother, right? Someone in the family HAS to be crazy, right?
And I admit, before I actually watched the video, I expected Eric to be acting "suitably" weird, just like the description implies. But no, he's not crazy. He's legitimately upset and grieving and trying to wrap his mind around how any of this could've happened. If any of us were in his shoes, most of us probably wouldn't even be strong or brave enough to speak about it in public. I'm glad that Eric did this interview, even if it was probably way too soon to be asking him questions like that.
I hate how much the families of killers and mass shooters are blamed and looked down on when most of the time, they had no idea that their loved ones would be capable of such awful things. Like Eric says: he's "just a guy". These families are just people, like all of us.
I hope that Eric, and every other person who's spoken publicly after their family member killed someone (or multiple ones) have been and will be allowed to grieve their loved ones, AS WELL AS grieve those who were killed by said loved ones. I also hope that them speaking about it will open up the public's eyes a bit more to the struggles people who are related to perpetrators face. Huge thanks and respect to Eric for giving us all a very heartbreaking and revealing glimpse of that struggle.
I hope him and his family have been able to find some sort of peace. 💔
btw this interview is probably one of the craziest footage i ever saw
became a comedy show for programs like Fox News.
I think he is raw as possible, so truthful!
He's in shock. He's obviously not sleeping. He shouldn't be doing interviews. He's a victim in this as well
Can tell he's not sleeping right now and even had what appeared to be a coffee cup (not necessarily coffee) to prepare for long interviews.
Nah, he's not, he is just a guy, man, average person, leave him alone... Just a normal middle class human in the US, he is honest, he has cash, its normal
Kristin Lara poor guy they need to leave him alone and let him process this whole situation it's sicking the way they are just harassing this guy and his family
Well, you are right about one thing....
Not too shocked to speak without stopping for over an hour. He's faking shock. He stumbles a lot when talking about his brother's girlfriend. The guy is freestyling and getting himself into all kinds of holes. It's funny watching him trip himself up constantly. His fake crying is also funny, one minute he pretends to cry, the next he's not sad anymore! He did that in the first doorstep interview, pretended to cry, then started smiling straight after. Total fraud.
That aint coffe in that coffee cup. Lol
ONE MILLION % AGREE and it’s not sunny so take off the sun glasses.
That was cringeworthy but I couldn't stop watching.
They way he talks about his brother makes it sound like he was a gangster.
Steve Osborne he pretty much says he himself is or was a gangster abd was just too smart to be caught so judgung by how highly he sees his brother we can be sure he learnt his trade from him
This is strange
Body language expert analyses Paddocks brother:
ruclips.net/video/Qg_Z-oEEt-c/видео.html
It seems they both worked together on this...
Notice the video is 33 min long and that his house number is the same supposed floor his supposed brother shot from
Justin Case lmaoo
This is acting. Very bad acting. He knows too much. And he is directing everyone’s attention to what’s not important.
He is put here to direct viewers to what’s not important. (IMO)
Who are all these reporters and why aren’t they questioning this guy that seems to know all the answers to our questions? Are they all actors? Are they letting the guy talk because they are in on this and they and everyone in the video want us to believe what the Brother says?
its okay when a rich person unloads his magazine on a crowd. It’s normal?
I’m not buying this crap. Take it back!
seen better acting in a will smith movie
Plenty of rest and time will heal this man less and bigger words for a better interview 🙏 ❤ go out to loved ones that we lost
You're an amazing brother, Eric.

I dont see acting. I see someone trying to say a loved one in the family was somehow controlled by something evil without saying it outright.
Tasha Bentley yea..Trump
Tasha Bentley no way he's in on it somehow. I think he was laundering money for him.
Michelle N Thats a major stretch.
Major stretch? Do you have proof he wasn't laundering money?
Tasha: You mean set up by someone(s) evil.
cbs could’ve at least given him a xanax before the interview
this has to be the best comment i have ever seen on youtube, thank you fore enlightening my day.
@@rowanrapp6539 🤣🤣😭
For real
Best comment
lmao
So the family mooched off psycho Steve. Got it.
His Brother starts a Shooting and gets killed and his other brother gets arrested for child p*rn. This Guys a Good Guy, he doesn't deserve this.
Wrong brother. Know facts before you try and speak on it. Kick rocks
@@anthonyharder1469 Wdym? He has two brothers. One of them was arrested.
@@ElChavo1128 I’m sorry I misread your previous post. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me? I thought you meant this guy wasn’t a good guy and you meant it in a sarcastic way. I really apologize for that. I will delete my comment. I feel bad for saying what I said
@@anthonyharder1469 it's ok. We all make mistakes.
@@ElChavo1128 indeed we do. Thank you for your forgiveness
This doesn't add up
