      The story is fake. Cyanide does not smell like almonds, in fact almonds don't even have a smell. And cyanide just smells like chemicals, similar to a cleaning product or something. Look up NileRed's video on it. He smells cyanide and bitter almonds, and comments that they do not have the same smell.

      In America (where I’m from), I seen a lot of parents wrapping up their childrens halloween candy collecting because of this. People in my area are still Leary as this was very sick, and other kids would’ve ended just like
      Timothy, if weren’t for the police. Also, that’s why at a lot of Halloween parties, people check the drinks if they do fruit punch because of this. This case literally ruined Halloween, and also messed with my Halloween as well. I’m glad I stopped a long time ago. Not that it happens as much anymore, it’s still sad knowing what happened, and also that people don’t trick or treat the same.

      are going to just GIVE out edibles to kids... Especially kids they don't know.
      Have you seen the prices of those things??
      For just a small dose you're talking $20 or more. If you're someone who dabbles in THC. then you're looking at $40.
      The cheapest pack is still like $20.
      No one's doing this!!
      I said- especially strangers kids.. cause
      I only say that... young adults giving it to teenagers... To be the cool parents.
      I've seen it.
      But that really don't count.
      To just give to a toddler you'll never see again.

    I was born 21 days after his arrest. I remember my parents always sat down at the kitchen table and individually scrutinized every piece of candy. If they found Pixie Stix, they were immediately trashed. Apples and oranges were tossed, caramels and candy bars were checked for syringe holes, and if there was even a small wear tear in the wrapper, they tossed it. It's because of people like this POS that Safe Street was invented later on, because there are just miserable, hateful people in the world that despise kids, apparently.
    This also reminds me of Dennis Rader aka the BTK Killer. Upstanding community member, church going father and husband; but a killer psychopath in subterfuge.

      @horsepanther 2 года назад +1

      Actually drug dealers do tend to give out "free samples" to kids, hoping that after they try it they'll want more (and pay for it). Also, maybe you have heard about a couple recent cases where people were poisoned by touching something random they saw on the ground. There was fentanyl on the objects and that is an EXTREMELY dangerous drug that is easily absorbed through the skin and a very tiny amount can kill you. So be careful out there. Sorry you are living in a town with a lot of drug users/dealers around. It's no wonder your dad worries about you.

    Having lost 2 of our children because of miscarriage I don't know how you can possibly want to kill your son

    This is why you check your Halloween candy. I found a fully loaded original 1950 Thompson SMG in my Twix. I could have choked, glad I checked my candy.

    Ever since I was a kid we weren’t allowed to eat the candy until our parents looked at it, I didn’t know why till now!

    There was a similar video on Russian RUclips from Utopia Show. But in any case, thanks for the video, it's quite interesting to listen to the same information with different presentation and in different languages.
