Thats a lot of damage!
Idk what's scarier, the original image or Phil Swift standing behind a tree in the dark.

14 years for brutally murdering a young woman? Seems like a slap on the wrist.
adult act needs an adult punishment he got off so easy
not to mention the fact that he was smiling and showed no remorse
That’s white privilege for ya 🤷🏽♀️
Exactly
There are so many instances where that same logic and feeling can be applied. I do it and I thought...no out loud I said "14 Fuckin year?!?".... exactly what you said. My issue.....If I'm only 4 foot tall. I am not jailed for not being able to dunk a basketball. If I only have one arm. No one forces me to drive a manual transmission car. I don't know much. Shit I'm kinda dumb....But that kid who killed her. Absolutely has to be missing some part of his brain or the function of it. That level of uncaring is outside the normal range by such a large margin. That there has to be a defect. Ok so what....well the point of our justice systems is supposed to be justice. Not monster creation. So Killin that kid or giving him 100 years ect. Is like forcibly requiring a disabled person to drive a car or operate a dangerous machine. I hate this line of logic but I don't have a better argument. That allows me to be ok with becoming exactly what I am supposed to be punishing.
Now if they can prove he's fully normal. 100% capable of the correct behavior, rationale and has a totally "normal" brain. Fine execution. But since we can't even properly discribe how consciousness works. I don't think we'll have that capability in my life time. It sucks. It's like what Nietzsche said "Careful looking into the abyss, it looks back".
When Josh gets out of jail someone should invite him into the woods to drink a beer.
Damn skippy .
@Josh Zome pretty much my thought, too. He should get what he gave, not get out to do no telling what to another person. Sociopath.
I can’t believe his sentence is only 14 years
I'll buy you breakfast if you do.
rip that poor young girl
The Kaneesha and Steven story always makes me sad. I couldn't imagine being 40, finding the love of your life, only to lose them immediately following the decision to make things real. Hope she is doing okay.
Wait, he was 40 when this happened? Wow.
Melodramatic proposals are fucking stupid, so I didn't feel that bad for him to begin with. Now that I know that he was 40 when he did this, it's become more funny than sad.

She is/was a legend. The biggest f*** you. Hope my death is going to be nearly as impactful..
How many russian women partisans heroes ..Zoe Kosmodemiansky..For example.She was caught, tortured and hanged.And before the execution she sad to people in het last speech."We will win.They can't destroy all of us".And she was 18 years old.It is a picture of her..And later nazis cut one of her breasts, as she wad dead.After soviets conker the villige, Zoe was buried, and she is remembered.

Don't do that. I'm sure there is a father with his release date marked on the calendar who spent thousands of dollars on ammunition to practice for that day.
@@holocaust_2.0 I'd be counting the days for sure
@@holocaust_2.0 unfortunately in 🇬🇧 we don’t have the chance to buy guns and ammunition🥲otherwise I’m sure there would be lots of people willing to do that deed!
The last story really got to me. Imagine wanting to spend your life with someone only to lose it before you can enjoy it together. 😕
I was just coming to say this. So heartbreaking. I can't imagine how terrified she was being all alone and not knowing whats going on...going from extreme excitement to sheer terror in mere moments.
It got to me
😟
would you really want to marry someone that stupid, tho?
Hey I watch your videos too
For the first story, it sounds like free breakfast was the only motive he needed. It sounds like he’s a genuine psychopath who likely had homicidal fantasies or simply didn’t think she was fun to toy with anymore. So he got rid of her in a brutal way and tried to pin it on his friend. That’s psychopathic behavior if I’ve ever heard it.
Only 14 years for brutally murdering an innocent teenage girl in cold blood?! I just don't understand this world sometimes...
Well I do
It's a British thing.

@@victormarie525 Ich spreche kein Franzoesisch
This guy is the best story teller, I would listen to him talking about how he did his taxes.
So it was April 15 and I had to do my taxes, my family and I were in the middle of nowhere so I had to try to do them online… There was no signal, so basically we crunched the numbers in our head and figured if we drove without stopping for 26 hours, we could physically get there and get the taxes turned in on time,… So the next day we set up everything we were good to go we had our plan and we set off, now what we didn’t know was there was a huge construction project going on in one of the cities we had to go through, and as a result of this we weren’t going to be able to make it on time, and we knew this, but we optimistically tried to push through and get there but ultimately we did not make it on time. I called the tax office the next day and said I will bring it in as soon as possible and talked with a representative about what happened and the representative kind of gave me a confused voice over the phone like she didn’t know what I was talking about. She said, Mr. Ballen, We saw you here yesterday you came in and dropped your taxes off an hour and a half before the deadline… And sure enough when I checked through my agent, they had complete possession of my taxes everything was done and it looked exactly like my handwriting which sent me chills down my spine, and the fact that there were some kind of doppelgänger or I have no idea even how to view this is just horrifying as well,... so no matter how you wanna look at this the bottom line is is we didn’t physically get the tax it to that office somebody else did, and two witnesses said they saw me and this is just 24 hours earlier, now I know I didn’t do it, but the bottom line is there was some guy that people thought it was me and they somehow got my taxes in..... that was the second paranormal experience I’ve had in my life and the last
Yeah but he gets old
Exactly!
He got me watching 411 missing! That is addicting.

I can't imagine killing someone because a friend said they'd offer you breakfast if you did it, the guy clearly had issues in the head
I just saw your comment on more plates more dates.
You are literally on every video i watch, Greg doucette, more plates more dates, phillon and now Mrballen too
Sociopath
Evil
I suppose he would become a "cereal killer." ... ... (Sorry for distasteful pun, I don't take the events lightly and abhor the actions of he and his friend.)
That last story had me in tears. My heart goes out to Kenesha and all the families involved in these stories. Life can be so cruel. 💔
I still can't wrap my head around what could've happened. All he had to do was swim up 😢...
Lipa was ACTUALLY brave, Her actions were legitimately Stunning. I wish I could say I would be that steadfast in my convictions when faced with living nightmares
I know I wouldn't.
Total badass!
it takes alot of courage to say, "no" to whatever it is they're trying to make you do. more people should be courageous.
To be led to the noose and given a chance at life and yet to hold your convictions above your own life is the noblest, most heroic deed.
Josh shouldn't get out of jail. He's still a danger to people.
That boi bad news he a menace to society
On the other hand, the guards can't protect him when he's not in jail...
Im worr8ed about his friend who promise him his breakfast and report him to the police.
@@themightymutt5213 As we have seen they can't protect him in jail either.
Nah hes the homie
The last story is so sad. Two people madly in love and happy. You can't fake love like that. They were meant for each other. Then in an instant it ended so horribly.
I wish he hadn’t shown her the ring while underwater, and that he had written a shorter message on the sign in the plastic bag. I’ve heard that story before, and I so wish it had had a happy ending! It breaks my heart even more, now that I know they were from Louisiana. My sweetheart is from Louisiana. I would have loved to have shared a state with such a beautiful couple with such a wonderful proposal story.
@Chance Welsh telling someone to get over themselves while also arrogantly insulting them is nothing short of hypocrisy. I hope your horrible attitude brings you all of the good you give to others.
@Chance Welsh stfu
imagine her plane ride home alone 😢
Suspicious if u ask me.. If it were kenisha that drowned - Steven would be no. 1 suspect
I've heard the Rebecca story before and it enrages me so much. 14 years on top of that for taking a teen's life, robbing her of at least 60 more years of life. Rebecca looked like such a sweet girl, RIP Rebecca.
@@MidwestFarmToys sure
Right so unrighteousness it is disgusting! He should get 60 years at least!
I live in Bridgend and I still remember how horrified and sickened everyone was to hear about Rebecca's murder. My mum actually worked with one of her family members. Thank you for honoring her with such a respectful telling of her story.
I hope that bastard gets knackd while in prison. Unfortunately knowing British jail hes probably on his playstation and smoking weed with his celly and will be out after 10 year. I hate this timeline.
And he essentially got away with it!
Damn man died proposing. I can't imagine how painful that was for that woman.
@Bann me Again nazis Damn really? Gotta check it out.
@Bann me Again nazis wait fr how?
@Bann me Again nazis She did, your thinking about when at the end of the interview she made a lovely statement, she said something like.." knowing him, he's up there laughing at how he totally screwed up his marriage proposal, that would be just like him, laughing at himself"... It was just a sweet statement and I suppose it was her way of coping
probably slightly worse for him
@Bann me Again nazis That's because she killed him.
first story: ..Never meet someone in the woods especially if they were abusive to you :(
yes, always meet them to go cave diving
I was thinking the same thing!
Dont let your child get back in a relationship with someone who bullied them.
never meet anyone that was abusive to you alone
@Diz Zkl sicko
My husband is dying slowly from cancer. I lost my job. Had to file bankruptcy. Our dog passed away. Our son suddenly died. All within 7 months. Mr. Ballen, Dr Grande, and The Why Files are somehow so comforting and take my mind off everything. I absolutely love this channel. Thank you.
God Bless you
@@AdrienJohns-ye6ve and you too. Thank you so much.
I am so sorry to hear that! 🙏😞♥️
In a short time Gods kingdom will start to govern above the whole earth. Then you could see your son and your husband again (Matthew 6: 9,10).
Jesus said about this topic:
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. (John 5: 28)
Also Gods word the Bible says about this topic:
With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” (Revelation 21: 3)
If you have any questions about the Bible please write me. Gods word the Bible gives a great hope and the best thing is that it really is the truth. ♥️📖
God can comfort you if you search for him. 🙏😊♥️
May God be with you
@@jonezmontenegro3916 and you, too. Thank you.
The second picture gives me chills. The COURAGE & HONOUR overcomes the saddening element of the type of ending she had. RESPECT!
Lepa's bravery left me in awe. May she rest in peace.
I know, im still thinking about her. Their should be a statue of her somewhere, and a placard, explaining her amazing feats.
Her bravery is unimaginable to me, the nazis must have destroyed everything she loved, everything and everyone.
Definitely she was a true hero!!
U mean pieces:D
I dropped my bescuit I'm my tea while watching this now I'm sad :(
Poo poo in bum bum
Lipa at 17 was a complete badass until the very last moments of her life and a heroine for justice and righteousness.
Reminds me of the young Dutch girls in WWII who would lure Nazi soldiers and collaborators into the woods where the partisans killed them.
Right? I can't believe more people aren't talking about the second story. All of them have plenty to talk about, but I can't even fathom that level of absolute bravery.
@@ohno4930 damn.
@@ohno4930 I thought the same! This story was hands down the most interesting and inspiring to me. It’s of serious historic value and I’m so glad I now know she existed
Young women like Lepa Radic and Sophie Scholl were so incredibly brave.
As a mom of three daughters, that first story is my worst nightmare. Wtf is wrong with people?
With Josh** not with people, he was the monster
@@jonathandeza7718 Yeah. But there are a metric f*ck ton of monsters just like him who know how to hide it away from people.
It seems to me that Josh failed to get what he wants from Rebecca during the sleep over, then proceed on backstabbing her then GF.
What an EVIL. He must spend his whole life in the cell!
@@jonathandeza7718 There are a lot of Joshes.
My daughter had 2 friends she basically grew up with. Then all of a sudden, they started being mean to her and ganging up on her to bully and harass her. Then one day she tells me she doesn't understand why they're suddenly super nice again and invited her to go out with them. I had to tell her about Skylar Neese in West Virginia. I begged her to leave those other 2 girls alone. I didn't trust them after a year of them bullying her, after being friends all through grade school and into Jr high school. Luckily, my daughter listened to me and completely cut all contact with those 2 ex friends. So new fear unlocked for moms of daughters: don't even trust their female friends. Boy or girl, anyone who was your friend, then starts bullying you, then suddenly becomes nice again so you'll hang out with them... those are not and never again will be friends.
I had never heard of Lepa Radić before. Thank you, John, for sharing the story of this true heroine!
Women aren’t allowed to have pride and honor. That’s why their stories are suppressed and never talked about.
MrBallen's hair has the most character development throughout all of the videos
Sometimes the green screen makes it look longer and lighter at the bottom. Had to call a friend who is also a fan and into photography and confirmed it was the green screen and I wasn’t crazy. This said, the man has amazing hair and I’m not disputing that.
You think so?
I think his left eyebrow is on fleek
You legend
😂😅
This was hilarious lmaooo
For some reason when this guy says “I really appreciate your support “, I believe it. Glad to watch this guy grow.
I know right!? Dude blew the F up! Never seen anything like it.
Thank you for saying that! I genuinely feel so fortunate to get to make videos for a living. That privilege is something I think about all the time, and I know it’s only because of wonderful people like you! So thank you!

He forgot to mention a critical detail. The judge was going to give Rebecca's murderer a life sentence, but Josh offered to buy the judge breakfast if he gave him 14 years only.
Wtf? That judge should be disbarred! How outrageous!!!

How do you kill someone and only get 14 years? The family of Rebecca suffered twice with that conviction.
*14 YEARS* for committing a cold blooded murder with no reasoning!??? 🤯 Gotdamn 🙆♂️.... My most sincere condolences to the girls family 💔💔
My exact thoughts...that boy will be killing someone else...be in another one of Mr Ballens videos!
@@nicolel4439 Sadly , this is a very real statement 💔🖤...
He will be out in 3 yrs. Imagine that. He killed for no reason. Cold blooded.
@Michael A Deer Hunting......far enough away from "jackazz Josh" to be able to deny, yet he will be dead. 14 years for premeditated murder ?
That’s the U.K. 🇬🇧 for you. Some of our sentances are just insanely lenient.
I won't lie, I've become addicted to this channel.
Same here
Read that as “I won’t die” like some how your addiction to the channel has made you a revenant or some such 👀
I agree
You and 2 million others
same i’ve watched every single video...
I wonder if maybe he dropped the ring and went down to try and get it and made a grave mistake. By the time he realized that he didn’t have enough breath to make it back up he tried but ultimately drowned. Such a sad story as the happiest and saddest day of the woman’s life.
You might be right here. God Bless his soul
The last story is so heartbreaking. It was such a romantic gesture, that apparently went horribly wrong. They looked like such a beautiful couple and their smiles are so heartwarming and just beam love. I feel terrible for her. Speaking from experience, losing someone you deeply love is a truly devastating experience. 💔
The last story had me in tears. I can't imagine the best day of my life also being the worst day of my life.
Or your last day
In retrospect, that "romantic" cabin seems to be missing some important safety measures. I mean, leaving a couple of people literally out of contact. I think I'll take the hotel room with the big aquarium and room service and a Dr available on call.
@@lapislazarus8899 It's in Africa
Poor guy didn't even get to find out if her answer was yes.
Honestly, amazing proposal idea. But sadly, he never got to hear yes.
Can you imagine living the happiest moment of your life only to be completely devastated within minutes.
@Bann me Again nazis pretty funny huh!?
@Bann me Again nazis u clearly have problems
I think 🤔 it’s a troll. 🤷♀️ rotten thing to say either way.
Yes I can, every day...😑
@@timespaceperspective701 This person is a troll they are commenting a lot on this story in particular.
Damn. The first one reminds me of the one where the girl meets with her ex and sends her friend a message saying "if anything happens you know who I'm with lol" and the guy took a photo of her standing on the edge of some mountain and he shoved her off.
Both were very pretty young girls who gave attention to the worst possible guys.
Lepa's story reminds me of Sophie Scholl. Two brave young women who stood their ground all the way up until very end.
Yes, I thought the same!
He only got 14 years for killing her? That is insane.
Edit: that last one was so sad. 😭
Agree, it's disturbing to think of him free on the streets again :/
@Jin Amarasinghe they don’t give you a life sentence for murder tho
@Jin Amarasinghe well, not always, they usually do, but they don’t always, that’s what I meant to say
Seriously you’d think they’d consider the premeditation and evil of it. The guy is an evil psychopath, so odds are he’ll do it again once released. That’s why we keep people like that locked up for first degree premeditated murder.
@Jin Amarasinghe Except when kids kill.
It's too bad that Rebecca wasn't old enough to accept the fact that people can't trust friends that turn hot and cold. Meeting in isolated places is always risky.
did you not hear that at the time it was a popular hangout spot?
Yeah very sad!
Because we all assume someone would kill us for a free breakfast. What kind of thinking is this?
@@King-kh2qwstill an isolated spot though.
This is why I often tell teen girls and young women how to potentially identify an abusive monster.
I didn’t learn until it was way too late and it wrecked my life to the point that i am often reflexively afraid of males (but hide it pretty well bc I’ve been in a lot of male-dominated settings, from STEM college classes to workplaces and ultimately, sad to say, the streets).
I wish more people understand that monsters of many variations lurk in our society and sometimes the most dangerous monster is extremely convincing at seeming harmless or even moral & decent.
It would be far more appropriate & productive than victim-judging/blaming (ref other thread).
The last story is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard 😳 so much joy to be replaced with so much sadness that is some cruel destiny.
This is one of my favorite tortures of the like button that I've heard so far. The polite hustle to the held-open door is such a clear image, it cracked me up. 😂

The last story is so sad, poor lady, the most romantic day of her life turned into the most tragic one.

😢
Lepa is the most gigachad human to ever exist. Imagine having that much courage at 17. They are dangling a false promise of safety to weasel some info out and she just says "yall gonna die :D." Queen of Courage!
I want to say thank you for telling Lepa's story so few know some of the truly brave women during that time,my Bubby (grand mother) was a survivor as a young Jewish teen in a Nazi camp the things they did her were unspeakable but most of the world will never know.
My theory on the drowning man is that he was so amped on adrenaline due to being in the open ocean and the fact he was proposing to his girlfriend, that when he was low on oxygen he didnt realize because the adrenaline was keeping him conscience. He then drowned as he was too low on oxygen and couldnt make it to the surface in time.
It's not a bad explanation but perhaps I have a better one, although I do have a little bit more information to work with. When they did his autopsy they found trama to the head af if he had been hit with something. I think probably the best explanation is that he was excited to get back to the surface to see his girlfriend and get her answer so he shot up and hit his head on something on the houseboat thing knocking him unconscious and since he was probably low on oxygen already he didn't have much time to come to and resurface so he drowned
@@worldgggggg I think you're 100% right. Just a sad tragedy...but Cleary just an accident. 😣

@@bitcoinbull6564 how do you know if she knows how to swim or not? How do you know that she didn’t think there was a shark or something in the water? Fucking hell Anne, the woman’s experiencing the most harrowing moment that anybody could possibly imagine and you out here judging what she should have done from your couch? G 👏🏾 T👏🏾F👏🏾O👏🏾H!
10 years commercial diving experience here, giving input on third story's hypothesis. He was down for a lot longer than he anticipated, his willpower to pull it off kept him holding, fine, no problem, she says yes and he's like "mission accomplished but I need effin air now like pronto". When surfacing, it is imperative one put their non dominant hand above their head (the hand you would be willing to lose or injure) so I use my left hand when ascending in dark water or I simply cannot tilt my head to look up. This is to prevent knocking your head on an unseen object as your hand takes the impact instead. The deck above was most likely protruding out from the underwater structure, and in this mans haste to surface, his judgment lapsed and he swam with his head into the underside of the decking and was knocked unconscious. It is highly unlikely he blacked out while surfacing. I think this is the most plausible explanation
That’s similar to what I was thinking. Even if he wasn’t knocked out, just impacting the deck above might have been enough to jar him into reflex-gasping if he was already fighting the urge to take a breath. That urge can be pretty strong and hard to fight in the last moments before reaching the surface.
A horrifically sad story. I really feel for both of them and I hope she somehow, someday, finds happiness again.
@@eatwhatukiii2532 Absolutely tragic on a Shakespearean level. Awful, I cannot even imagine. May us and our loved ones never endure such a fate in Gods name amen
Freediver here, seems like a plausible option but I disagree that it's highly unliky he blacked out. Shallow water blackout is actually one of the most common causes of death among spearfishers that push themselves just that little bit longer than they should, that's why you should never ever freedive without a buddy at the surface even if you're shallow. It seems very likely to me that he experienced shallow water blackout here. Absolutely devastating.
Going 10+ meters deep staying here for a while and getting back on a single breath without any previous experience... He clearly overestimated his capabilities
I was hoping for a response from someone with experience, to give some kind of explanation to that story. Thank you!
You are without a doubt the most talented and intriguing story teller I’ve ever heard. I’ve been hooked on your videos and rewatched many 2-3 times. Thank you for helping my depression. You are a hero between serving in the Navy and giving me a dose of happiness on a daily basis.
Oh my 😥 the last couple story really hit me. I don't know how Kanisha would ever move forward without him. That is so painful and heartbroken
I can't imagine going from the happiest moment in your entire life to your most horrified in such a brief period of time. That last story really got me...
She was too slow. I suppose he meant what he said about not having the breath.....And she took too long to read the note. And he didn't want to swim away before she did. So he held his breath. Terribly sad.
@@NoNo_IStay - I've seen the video of this before. He's struggling when he gets there. At the 14:40 mark you can see that his chest compressed. I don't think he made it far before he started drowning. The few seconds with the note wouldn't have made a difference.
Heartbreaking....
that is horribly sad
you’ve gotta be a fool to think you can go under water write a note “proposing to your wife “ get the answer and go back up. ???? they ain’t happening with me. I’d know straight away. I can’t breathe this long
This is the MOST addictive channel on RUclips, change my mind.
I cant
Yes
Mr Ballen Shorts
@@jacoba1100 argh! Beat me to it! I was hitting reply to say "who would want to?"
Mr Nightmare is up there too
Lepa is a bad ass. Such an inspiring woman! So glad her words got back and how she is recognized as a hero! Brava lepa brava!
Bravo, not "brava"...
That proposal story is so heartbreaking
The last story is both one of the most romantic and at the same time most tragic stories I have ever heard. Damn.
@Bann me Again nazis truly shows your immaturity. Sad.
I’ve heard that story before, it was accompanied by a facebook post that kenisha wrote about steven on the anniversary of his death. i don’t remember the post word-for-word but I remember it ended with: “you never got to hear my answer.. but my answer was yes.”
it literally killed me, what a tragic event :(
@@theearlofmarch ngl if I died like that, I'd get roasted by my family for all eternity
It's so ironic. "I don't have enough air to tell you everything I love about you"
Well.......how right he was.
At least she could wear his ring if they found it.
Although I’m so sad about this tragedy, I thought it was going to be said that he was attacked by a shark. Truly sad!
I'd be waiting for Josh to get out of prison if I were Rebecca's dad..
He shouldn't come out. He's dangerous for society
With the right amount of cash he doesn't need to wait, he can get someone inside to skin the monster alive in the shower...
lol yeah
Nah, I would go in after him.
@@trith72 thats works I approve 👍 👌
Love your videos. This one especially. My both grandfathers joined Yugoslav Partisans in 1941. One at 15 and the other at 25yo. They fought for three years until Nazis have been totally defeated. One was only wounded by bullet to the leg. Thanks for mentioning their struggle 👍
Greatest story teller EVER!!!
First story is truly horrifying. I feel so sorry for the mom who knew something was wrong but couldnt do anything
Agreed
Well, technically she could have like followed her daughter, hid out in the woods, and then stopped him from attacking her...but I'm sure the mom would never have dreamed the kid would have killed her daughter.
@@LaurenRMann7 lol my mom would have, she wouldn't have let me date that young in the first place.
I can't believe he only got 14 years. People get a lot more for lesser crimes. He planned out the crime.
@@Park-Kim_VMin I'm that mom... I trust my gut feeling and am the parent the boyfriends and girlfriends fear and their dad is pretty damn scary lol
That last story broke me. The thought of spending a vaction in the most beautiful place in the world. Then to have such a beautiful propusal and then nothing. Words cannot express the grieve i feel for her and cant imagine how harrowing that moment was to lose the love of ur life and your future with one of the best proposal ideas ever! Its just so sad😭
Omg girl youd really be into RezTKF if ur into scary stories an stuff 💯😍👌❤
@@ladycountess2972 thanks! Ill check them out!
They had enough good times, now where’s mine?!
@@bombfirst157 If you think that selfishly, you probably won't have any.
@@Nell_Isabel Don't bother, he only has a few videos and they're not true crime, it's cheesey horror bullshite.
It's so nice that you cover stories from Wales 🏴 not many do. I have never even heard of the josh and Rebecca story 💔 I have recently the last few months discovered you and have been seriously binging lol ♥
The best entertainment of any media source. Ballen, you rock.
That partisan story is badass.... what a legend. So brave at only 17...
@yolo crone no.
Our youth are still as valiant as our elderly were. There are just as many laying down their lives as there are whiners pointing fingers at other generations as your own generation.
Much of our youth doesn't have to prove it by scowling down death anymore because the grandparents did their jobs.
Our generation needs to level the playing field if we want the next generations to have the same successes as our predecessors.
@yolo crone I’m 20 and can’t imagine. But ppl rushing Normandy beaches into the jaws of death half of them were younger than me. Really makes u think...
@@GrifoStelle WELL SAID,THERE WILL ALWAYS BE HEROES
@yolo crone Yes I can imagine it. I see them standing up for what's right and putting their bodies on the line in various situations every day.
Here in the US..the teenager would say. " You are hurting my feelings, I'm putting you on you-tube!!!!"
The first story is from my home, there's actually a petition going to keep him in jail
There shouldn’t have to be a petition if justice was real. Sad society we live in.
Boi is a psychopath. I'm surprised he get to get out eventually
WERE DO I SIGN!?
Keep up the good work, he is evil.
if he does get out somehow...some should throw him a welcome home party in the woods...
Although all were tragic, these were some of the best stories I've heard so far on this show, for different reasons. Great job!
That room sounds amazing and that was an incredible proposal idea. It's truly heartbreaking that he didn't get to hear the answer.
That proposal story is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.
Absolutely. Good lord that was heartbreaking. She went from the happiest moment in her life to the worst in an instant...
Side note as cool as that place sounds, having a cabin way out on the water, with no immediate way to get back to shore or contact emergency services is kind of crazy.
@@pgpro8691 yeah I doubt they have an safety regulations but a radio phone should be a requirement at the least
Dude did the whole thing right. Perfect surprise....absolute freak accident and absolutely at the worst moment. The hopes and dreams of that whole life there and simultaneously ripped away at the very beginning moment...
He killed himself being silly.
17 yo girl getting beaten to death with a rock by someone she thought was her boyfriend? Not that sad?
@@jerryboics9550 15 years not 17
9:24 that's a chilling shot man, not a drop of fear in those eyes as shes getting a noose tied around her neck. Truly a brave warrior 👏
What a beautiful and harrowing tale about Lipa. Thanks for telling.
It would've been beautiful to propose in the room underwater. He didn't have to go outside to propose. Now he's gone. So terribly sad.
The story with that couple is beyond sad...the sheer terror she must have felt...and that’s how quickly a happiest moment turns into the saddest moment of someone‘s life😞
After killing a Young woman so mercilessly, he only got 14 years...
Seriously 😑😑🤔
Afraid so, the law is an asse here in the UK, our judges are always dishing out measly sentences, they hardly ever give proper long ones, not like the US.
@@Flamey45 that's very sad. He deserved at least 2 consecutive life sentences
My best friend was stabbed to death. The kid chased him down and stabbed him 11 times all above the waist and once in the neck. He got 14 years for that…. RIP Derric Gaines
I agree. 14 years is bs.
A life for a life is the only option
Miss these kinds of videos Mr. Ballen. Please consider making more!
I know I'm a year late Mr. Ballen, but I just wanted to say thanks for the work you do! You're videos always seem to amaze me and keep me truly interested the entire time. I'm actually watching each and every video you've made, no matter how long ago it came out. Keep up the good work my friend, please keep the great content coming. You're awesome 👍👍👍👍👍.
Lepa's story is unbelievable. The true definition of heroism.
ok
I agree, completely unbelievable that she was that strong to the end
Yep. I just started painting. I'll be painting her. Then she's going on a T-shirt for me and anyone who's knows who she is. It will be free.
17 years old. Wow. Such courage at such a young age. Amazing.
What an amazing person and absolute hero!
How the hell did he only get 14 years for premeditated murder. That's Murder 1. He should never see freedom again.
Agreed. Apparently it happened in the UK though, so there ya go 🤷♀️
@Ying Fipling assault rocks are the biggest problem in today’s world
@Ying Fipling They will once a single person goes into schools or such and kills a few dozen people with a rock.. And then it happens once every few weeks. Ya derp.
@Ying Fipling Hehehe that is some good trolling! Funny. :)
I thought the same thing.
Your story telling is just awesome. I wish you tell us stories with postitive endings once in a while.
Keep up the good work
I don’t know how it’s taken me so long to find this channel, but I love it and have been been watching it through one of the worst days of my life and thank you for carrying me through it. Would also like to mention that I absolutely love the intros into how to subscribe and like and get notifications. I find that always so redundant and so boring and I know that it’s necessary but I appreciate the creativity in which it’s done here.
I can't even begin to imagine how the young lady in the last story feels to be in that gorgeous place, be proposed to & lose her love forever all on the same day. What a horrendous mix of emotions. RIH Steven. 💔 🙏🏾
Same here I have no words how can you even begin to console someone that has just experienced such tragic loss oh my God I cannot stop crying
I can't imagine the guilt she must've felt.
@@bomberdawesome guilt?
@@braetonwilson4296 survivors guilt. She will feel like it is her fault
@@cado9281 if I was in her shoes, I wouldn't feel guilty. This whole underwater proposal was his idea and a surprise for her.
The marriage proposal story literally made me ball like a baby. My heart goes out to Kanesha.
i dont know why he thought that would be a good idea tbh, like maybe if he had spent weeks practicing his breathing and holding it for longer then he would've been able to be fine but it was just a stupid decision tbh
*bawl
@@anomaly3215 exactly my thoughts., plus being excited makes your heart beat faster, you burn through oxygen way faster too... can be deadly underwater
My thought is at least they did get to check off bucket list items together. That is really all you can askfor in life.
Dude was stupid af. Just propose the normal way. People watch too much romantic movies..
Wow, that last story is so tragic that it sounds like a sad movie plot. I'm sure if it was adapted on film, there probably wouldn't be a single dry eye in the room after the end.
The rapid behavioral change and the ability to charm and then only 14 years absolutely heartbreaking and disturbing
The fact that josh only got 14 years in prison boils my blood..
Ai me too mate.
Well, like the movie Law Abiding Citizen, maybe her family will settle things when he gets out.
maybe someone will recognize his face and put him out of the worlds misery
People with weed get more time lol
Sadly there are people who legitimately thinks, "Oh teenagers was too young to fully comprehend what they're doing." But honestly, if a fucking teenager can go through the process of killing someone, he's already too fucked in the head to be let roaming society again.
Like jfc, when my friends and I are stupid, we dared each other to snort pixy sticks not commit murder.

Coming up on that 6 mill. Love the channel Mr. Ballen!! Keep the strange, dark, and mysterious in story format coming!
Damn, Lepa was an amazing girl! A trauma nurse at only 17 and a soldier that protected woman and children. She's my hero too!
😂
The Yugoslavians fought the Nazis as opposed to...? Unfortunately these World War allegiances were binary, so the Nazis were very efficient at driving otherwise neutral parties into the arms of the British Empire and whatnot, to fortify the existing colonial system. Germany and England were allies. Not enemies. Allies. And Adolf Hitler didn't commit suicide after WWII. He may indeed have killed his ugly newlywed wife, but he himself was livin' large in Argentina.
Another interpretation of WWII is that Germany attempted to secede from the Roman Empire, which includes the British Empire from the standpoint of colonial subjects. But since the imperialists had all the power, those outside of the loop were left to squabble amongst themselves.
I posit the second interpretation because although Germany herded neutral parties into the arms of the British Empire, these parties did so out of constraint and not entirely by choice. And plus they acquired advanced weaponry in the process. So in the long view, Germany armed England's enemies.

Cant get enough of your channel thank you 🙏
Starting my weekend with some anxiety why not
ikr
Do you do similar content ??
Ikr, gotta keep on edge.
Put yourself together hommo
Dude same
I grew up in Yugoslavia, hearing these types of stories, but I've never heard them from anyone once I moved to the US. This made me really happy. Thank you for that
Fellow Yugoslavian here, my heart jumped when I heard 'yugoslavia' from Mr. Ballen!
My husband is an Yugoslavian too :))))
Wasnt Tito a partisan too??
@@kevinlong7559 yeah, Tito led the partisan party
He's good, ain't he?
Congratulations on reaching 7M. I love all your story’s and content
You content is great and as weird as it sounds has got me through some rough days. Thanx so much and hope your channel lives forever.
As a mother to a little girl that first story absolutely broke my heart... The pointlessness to it the cruelty to it so unbelievably sad and heartbreaking good God this world is evil
I know right! My adorable niece is that age and Rebecca’s story destroyed me.
@@damienkarney2251 yeah, so innocent and trusting...just a young teenager in love hoping to be loved in return. Her final moments realizing that the boy she loves not only tricked her, but chose to end her precious life. Sick little piece of shit. May he be bubba's girlfriend in prison and weep every night
we have grown into a culture that nurtures and excuses evil
@@BarbarellaAlpha Agreed.
(I nurture and excuse any evil that comes to the PREDATORS of the innocent).
As a father, that boy wouldn't exist anymore
Her name was Lepa which means "beautiful". It's the same e when you read "desk". My grandmother's sister also died in Partizan at the age of 19.
Your great aunt was a badass, just like Lepa.
God Rest Your Great Aunt May she Rest at Peace. 🙏
My grandmother was a resistance fighter, smuggler, and spy as a teenager during the war in France. Her memory is a blessing to me, as I hope your great aunt's memory is a blessing to you.

Story 1 : never give a second chance to someone who dragged you down, heads up and remember you deserve better than that
Story 2: all hero doesn't wear cape, thank you Lipa for standing up and your service
Story 3: so heartwrenching that this very day was in a blink of an eye the very best AND worst day of her life 😔
That last story was sad . But luv will always last a lifetime. Thank you for story time truly appreciate your stories . Hope you do more soon . Have a blessed day.
I envy the Newest subscribers. For they can binge watch videos that are completely new to them. The good ole days
Ah yes....I remember when I first discovered his channel. I did that exact thing lol. Binge watched all his videos. Now I wait for that notification bell to go off just to watch his new uploads
Facts wish I could watch all his videos for the first time again 😭
So true🥲
I just found him an hour ago. I’m in heaven. A creepy, terrifying heaven.
Omg, that last one actually gave me the chills...I can’t imagine the panic she must have felt when he didn’t surface. They seemed like such a great couple, my heart goes out to her and their families...
That's awesome way to put it about how good this guy is @ telling story's, explaining situations ect. I never knew anyone who tells story's like him. "Keep them coming" truly a dedicated fan Mr.Ballen
