The neighbor arguing with the family while simultaneously watching James take his last breaths is one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.
Negligent. Try CPR. Call 911. Since you know-it-all, you can save your hogwash interrogation for the police.
Thissssss. Even if it was warranted who's that calm around a dead/dying body fr
@@AuntErmaoftheBeans some people just process things in real time differently. Some people's minds go straight to emotion others go straight to logic and emotion comes later. It's the reason some people make good police, firefighters, nurses, trauma docs, etc.
@@KN-ts9fn i kinda feel like that's a comment with no backup. Who was the neighbor then? We just give HIM the benefit of the doubts? It's weird to me and a bunch of others. Period.
@@KN-ts9fnThat's a good point
"My brother never had history of violence, we'll never know what he wanted" WELL the way he was breaking down that door, it wasnt to bring cookies.
"Oh hey, buddy. You must be exhausted busting down our door. Do you want some water?" - what the sister thinks they should of done, probably
That's a relationship goal tho, to have a mate willing to take down a door to bring cookies hehe
Exactly. The grim reality is that no one has a history of violence, until they do. Every violent offender had a first victim.
@@charly420bravo and the family of the perpetrator wants the world to roll over and volunteer to be the 1st victim. Madness!
That's why family members of either party aren't on juries. You have to feel sorry for them really.
The neighbor sounds like the kind of guy that would say "well what was she wearing?"
I think that’s a bit much. I have a strong feeling it was more so he was saying all that in regards to his own safety.
They were yelling about the guy as he was approaching, he was saying he didn’t have a gun.
It sounded like he was trying to say “I can come closer he’s not a threat to me”
But that’s just what I can gather from the video
Or, "Well she's playing hard to get so he needed to try harder" 😖
That same neighbor chastised the family in his news interview for having a gun and shooting the guy. True story.
@@starlingswallowwhere did you get this from? He’s simply informing the scared family he’s down and not armed
Tik Tok guy defended himself but he needs to be charged with every other crime he committed, he needs to be charged with cyber stalking, doxing, harassment, etc, etc. Guy's like him shouldn't be allowed access to the internet. He not only put that family in danger but killed them too, it may have been in self defense but it was entirely avoidable and entirely his fault.
I know its hard for James' family to accept this but that footage speaks for itself. He was clearly disturbed and not playing with a full deck.
She had been texting and voice messaging him begging for help
They should have raised him better if they didn't want him to get clapped.
@@olyviagibson-qt3qgWho?
@@olyviagibson-qt3qg evidence?
@@IRL_Lore yes the voice messages she sent the texts her begging him to come back for her crying saying she was so scared
That neighbor was a total fool inserting himself into the situation when the cops came.
Seriously, he's standing there and talking like he's some sort of authority figure. He's a boomer, of course.
Yep. He should have just called 9-1-1. He was interfering with a crime scene.
It was odd that the neighbor came over and said those things. It seems like the neighbors didn't know each other very well.
That first hone invasion shouldn't have been controversial at all. That ex bf was trespassing, and breaking and entering after been told multiple times to go away and that they had a gun. I don't care what state u live in. You have every right to defend yourself. I don't care if he was shot once or 5x in the back. His family is obviously mourning but don't say that they want another investigation in a clean and cut case of home invasion. Thank God for Ring cameras
The sister of the slain kid was the real troublemaker. She was online all over trying to sell a different version of the story complete with an edited video and stuff. I understand her anger, but she was really pushing it with the dishonesty.
The denial from the sister when the proof is right there is absolutely mind boggling. She and her family were probably the ones to overlook his change in behavior too.
Eh that seems like a leap. It could just be a combo of shock and grief process over losing her brother.
Nah your brother was going to hurt that girl if he got to her. Dad did what he needed to do to protect his family.
The sister probably just as psycho hope no one dates her.
By making out he had a gun and the shot him in the back when he was leaving. That was definitely unnecessary and I'm glad I live in a country that doesn't have such lax gun laws.
Sister is in denial.
@@mancuniangamecat8288 He wasn't leaving. He ran when he was shot. Flight or fight kicked in when the father shot through the door. The only reason he was leaving was because the father was protecting his family.
@@mancuniangamecat8288I’m pretty happy I live in one that will allow me to protect myself the minute someone busts my door in instead of waiting until I’m hurt. What’s lax about that? Don’t break down peoples doors. 🤷♀️
That neighbor in the first clip is exactly the kind of person who would be killed first in a horror movie. ZERO self-preservation skills, dude.
True, though it's probably good in our world that people intervene when there's gunshots. Horror movies aren't real, and if your neighbors who you know to be calm suddenly shoot a guy, it's not that dangerous to go over when you see him flopped on the ground and you weigh to provide first aid or not.
No, the neighbor has perfect self-preservation skills. He witnessed them kill an unarmed kid who was walking away, just because the girl couldn't be a grown-up about their relationship and end it properly instead of stringing him along over and over. He KNEW the girl's dad was a crazy gun-happy insane freak, and he knew to keep a distance and not go too far with pointing out the obvious: that there was no reason to shoot an unarmed kid who was walking away. The shooters were acting crazy, freaking out "he's trying to date our daughter!" and the neighbor who had common sense was like, "you just MURDERED an unarmed kid who was LEAVING" but he he knew he had to say it in that "but it's ok, man, I'm staying out of it, I saw what happened, but I'll stay out of it so you won't shoot me as I walk away, too!" HE did exactly what he needed to do -- try to get close enough to check on the kid without getting himself shot by the neighbors who he knew were completely insane.
@@mynameisworld have to agree. He seemed to be like wtf? broad day light shooting? here? lol You shot you daughters bf? ex?... obviously didn't feel threatened by the situation.
@@mynameisworldthey had broken up years earlier and he had moved away. He was at the perfect age to start showing symptoms of a mental illness, which may have been the reason he had moved back. Sometimes when mental illness starts progressing, the person tries to latch onto people from their past. I had a mutual friend of someone call me to say he was knocking at my door. He ran away from a mental hospital and looked up my address. I felt bad for him, but I could tell there was something off and explained that I didn't, I've there and was out of state.
Three shots at James’ back makes no sense whatsoever. I can’t understand how he broke the door which had a deadbolt.
12:40 The neighbor gives me the creeps … staring at James laying there dying and taking his last breath as if he’s checking out their new lawn mower that’s not running good … sooo weird!!
You break down someone's door, you should expect they're going to stand their ground.
Exactly!
And that is a massive misunderstanding of stand your ground law. You do not have the right to murder someone, especially if they are running away. Period. It does not matter if he broke the door down. He never entered the home nor did he have any weapons, and he ran when he was getting attacked. That is NOT standing your ground. That is murder.
Should he have not broken down the door? No he shouldn’t have. Should he not have shown ip? No he shouldn’t have. Should he have listened to them when they said to leave? Yes, he should have. But did the man have the right to shoot him while he was running away several times and murder him? No. Stand your ground law clearly states you are to use force within reason. He had the gun ready when he broke the door down and had it pointed. That was within reason. What is not within reason is shooting an unarmed individual who is RETREATING. That is not within reason. He clearly was no longer a threat.
I know. It is so hard to comprehend that the world is not black and white inside your dumb little head. And it is shocking to hear you can’t just murder people because because. The law states very clearly that if you pull a gun on someone and they STOP or RUN AWAY and are not within 6 feet of you and still approaching you after you made it clear you will shoot and you shoot them. You murdered them. Period. In this situation, the guy ran. He had zero right to open fire several times at a retreating person.
You people spitting out the law without actually knowing the law is a fucking problem. I hope you do this and go to prison for life because you can’t be bothered to learn what the law says while screaming about your “rights”.
Absolutely baffles me how you people think you are so entitled to murdering people over a broken door or stealing things. Those do not equal death. It only equals death when the person is there to do actual harm. And the fact he had no weapons on him and he clearly heard the dad on the other end makes me think he wasn’t there to actually harm anyone. Again, he shouldn’t have done what he did and he should have been taken into custody and charged. But his life being taken over it is not the punishment fitting the crime.
Tired of you brain dead idiots with this “stand your ground” law and bot knowing it. Fucking google it retard.
Unless it’s a Blue state.
@@klausd.6285 SIDNEY, Ohio - Disturbing Ring doorbell video shows the moment a young woman’s ex-boyfriend broke down her family’s door. Her father fatally shot the man three times, and a grand jury in Ohio has decided not to go forward with charges based on the Stand Your Ground Law and the Castle Doctrine, which allow homeowners in specific states to use deadly force during an intruder situation.
Looks like u are wrong!!

The guy in the 2nd story is savage! He took on two guys and saved his wife and kids. Dude is badass.
The craziest part of that story is that was Sebastian Maniscalco’s (famous comedian) cousin, and they literally have the same exact name 😂
Dude it’s even crazier it’s his cousin I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this
@@CantTellYouI was wondering if he had any blood relation to thee Sebastian Maniscalco. That’s such a scary scenario, thank goodness he fought them off.
Sorry I hadn’t heard of him, but watched a few of his sketches. Ok
@@CantTellYou lmfaooo ty i was thinkin NO WAY ON EARTH he mentioned one of the most famous comedians in the world and just went on w/out saying anything... i paused it when i heard his name to see if it had actually happened to him (you'd imagine someone as rich as him could be a target). wild
James's sister wants a 'full' investigation. The whole incident is on camera. James with an empty expression, breaking down the door, ignoring the armed father, and then running out front. It took less than one minute. James was the aggressor. What on earth does she want them convicted of. Perhaps excessive force, but they were terrified, acted out of instinct, self preservation. So sad, James had a mental break.
she is TOTALLY in denial. it's so sad actually.
Yeah they’d have a tough time arguing that even, the dad only fires a couple shots and didn’t chase him to gun him down. Honestly the most classic case of why people say we need self defense laws. There basically no room for misunderstanding what’s happening in the video
There is zero case of excessive force here. A father protected his family from this guy. Who knows what he would’ve done once he made it inside. James made a bad decision and he paid for it with his life.
Saying he had no history of violence when he's on video breaking down the door of his ex girlfriend is so fucking wild.
The level of force used was not excessive. That argument would go nowhere in court.
I love how that photo of Bradley is him crying. 🙄 Cry for yourself, buddy. Cry.
I love hearing about people defending themselves and not being charged. If someone breaks into your home, you absolutely should have the right to defend yourself. Thank you Mike for all your hard work and for sharing these stories! Many blessings to you and yours!😊
You enjoy hearing about an unarmed person being shot three times in the back?
You must be a republican.
Totally agree!!
Your home is your castle and the only true place in this world you should feel 100% safe where your family resides if someone crosses the threshold then you have the right to defend yourself.
I can't understand what difference it makes if you're shot in the front or the back. Once you attack, you're an attacker. He clearly broke down the door, so now you're a threat. You don't stop being a threat just because you decide to run away. He just as easily could have been armed, ran behind the cars, and started firing into the house. I wish they'd make it that once you attack, you're considered a life long threat to the victim.
@@fosterdad455 I think it does depend on the situation, but generally I agree that if someone has already tried to attack you, they will in all likelihood try again.
Why did the nosey, argumentative neighbor even come by? Him standing there calmly watching someone take their last breaths was very disturbing. Render CPR, call 911, do something! But to stand there arguing, while calmly staring at a dying person, very very disturbing, indeed.
IKR? He acts like its a dying raccoon in the yard or something. Plus, it really wasnt any of his business to even come over or get involved.
"he's still breathing... Oh wait... Yup I think he's dead I just saw him stop breathing..." WTF.
Old dude in his late 60s early 70s? That reads veteran behavior to me. Probably has been around death before
@@coreyu4590I didn’t think he was that old.
I wonder if bc they were yelling don’t go near him?? Idk I’m sure it was shocking to witness it.. def not a great response … any of it.. but that fight or flight kicks in and we act much differently than we would in a regular scenario… just an assumption…
that freaking neighbour is like "there's a dead guy in your frontyard. where did you get that? i want one"
Acts judgmental and notice he did not perform cpr or attempt to help. He watched him "stop breathing."
@wishpunk9188 I don't think he was being judgemental. It seems to me like he was obviously in shock, and sounds like he was trying to claim down his neighbors by saying he wasn't armed. But who knows, I've had some neighbors who have been disconnected from reality before lmao
Kind of crazy but I guess you never know how your going to act on something like that.
🤣 that comment made me laugh 😂
Lol that guy seems like a piece of work
Guys like that neighbor are why so many criminals are still out. Making excuses for them.
Guys like that are the reason? Uh, no, not really.
Jury decided 8-1 he shouldn't be indicted. The 1 was his neighbor.
Did they wake that first 911 operator from her nap? Holy smokes.
It seems most 911 operators that are apart of infamous calls are awful. Tons of them are excellent but the ones that get featured seem to be confused as to why they are getting emergency calls at all
lol she sounds like she just ate a xanax bar
omg right? How worthless of an operator "Please hurry he is kicking in the door" >screaming ensues
"But do you know who it is tho?"
@@ESMDto239 The worst ones will straight-up actively mock or actively antagonize the people who are calling for help. And often leave them to get killed.
Like the woman trapped in a car in a flooding zone, or the teenage girl who got kidnapped and was trying to give the operator information on where to find her, etc. Those ones you want to straight up hold accountable for people dying or being traumatized.
@@stmsinshe certainly did! Lol
A neighbor hears gunshots and then walks towards them?!? Dear Lord!
Welcome to ohio.
Most American thing you can do
Then proceeded to argue with them, what a coward
darwinism
Gunshots fired I'm going the other way. Now I'll call you but I'll be hiding.
William should have never gone on their property to fight.
Exactly
Remember, though, that when the dad shot him in the back, he didn't know the guy had turned to run away. He couldn't see throigh the door. All he saw was that the door had been busted open. He did what anyone had to do in that situation to protect his daughter. He also warned him that he had a gun. He gave him a chance to run BEFORE he shot - but the guy chose to break the lock regardless of the warning.
Also, as ASP always says, "It's not where you shoot someone, it why you shoot someone"
Yeah, his actions seem more on the calculated side - turning to run after breaking the door, as if he expected to be shot if he went further.
Good point
Physically slamming into anyone's house door is an act of severe physical aggression!!! Just the way her ex-boyfriend (from years ago) made that long strong sounding exhaled breath after standing there for a few minutes before breaking through the door had me soo petrified 🥺!!! Who knows what he would have done if her dad hadn't been home💔. I'm very curious since his sister & family were so vocal about wanting further investigation tell me how none of his family knew about his revolving obsession & anger toward this ex-girlfriend???🧐 Perhaps if they had paid attention to what was going on with him he could have gone for therapy to help him move on. To all friends & families pay attention to the people in your life. You just might help prevent a tragedy 💔.
RIP🕊️🫒 Young Man
The guys family actually released doctored versions of the ring camera footage to edit out the family warning him they had a gun and telling him to leave. James's family is just as bad as he is.
THIS… I saw his sisters posts in the days after and they were full of lies
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
As if that even matters. You break into someone's house you cant complain if you are shot.
I didn’t know this but it definitely changes my perspective of them. At first I thought they were just grieving but with that it’s obvious that they’re just as deluded as he was. Either that or they’re trying to profit from his death via a civil lawsuit. Either way, it’s pretty disgusting that they are warping the truth for personal gain.
Wow I didn’t know that. Jesus. That’s way past denial.
“My brother had no history of violence” yes he DID lady. It started and ended THAT DAY.
Agreed. His history of violence was short, and his we would-be victim was rescued by her father.
It's insane and tragic that she would even try to say there needs to be more of an investigation. That ring footage is all you need to know. That was terrifying. I would be so grateful if someone defended me in that same situation.
i literally answered her out loud "he does now"
IKR? THERE'S FREAKING VIDEO, some folks just can't stop being enablers.
Ha yes and his KNOWN history was short because the father ensured it was short....perhaps the dad saved someones life in the future...
That Chapter and Ring? A natural pair... Love ya, Mike!

you start busting some ones door in? dont expect them to wait to see what you are gonna do. IM NOT interrogating you to find out if your armed if your busting my door in.
Period!!!
Agreed!!
Right
@@kms199x2 So you'd let a stranger barge into your home?
@@kms199x2what's ridiculous is someone risking their life by breaking into someone's house.
So does his family think that it's normal to break into a house while the owner tells him to go away?
Yeah he warned the guy multiple times to leave. They were not even together for a while.
Yeah, I feel for em for losing someone, but trying to blame these people isnt right. What did you want the father to do, give him a chance to kill his daughter first? It's irrational thinking by them.
@@turkeyman631
Grief can be very irrational.
It’s not like people break into houses for good reasons typically.
They are hurting.
Love this DAD. He saved his daughter.
Keep in mind how long it took from the time they called the police to when they showed up. The neighbor stopped by. They argued with him for a while, another neighbor came and he and the first neighbor stood there for a while talking. Imagine the damage he would’ve done had the father not been home and defended his family.
Pretty amazing that people still solely rely on the police to respond to incidents like this.
Yeah 100%, the police aren't going to be there the moment you need them, only you will be able to defend your life. Who knows what would've happened had they waited for the police.
His sister released a heavily edited version of the door cam video, muting the father telling him to leave and that he had a gun. She tried to make it look like they shot him with no warning and at the end directed people to her petition to get the dad charged with murder. The dad shot through the door as it broke. James turned and ran after the first shots so he was hit in the back but the dad firing through the door couldn't have known that.
Manipulating the public in this way is disgraceful.
I hope the family sue her for defamation!!
According to FOX17 Nashville:
"A Shelby County grand jury was presented with the voicemail, 911 call and the doorbell camera footage which prompted them not to charge Mitchell Duckro, citing Ohio’s "Stand Your Ground" and "Castle Doctrine" establishing that homeowners can legally use lethal force when threatened."
Even if he could see James running away, he probably thought that if he's up and moving, he could come back in the future and thus was still a threat. Mitchell's intent could have been just to incapacitate him until the police arrived to apprehend him.
I have a feeling Zach will manage to go prison eventually anyway.
It’s interesting to see his progression through mugshots of his transition into an even creepier creep & douchier douche. It’s like “faces of meth” except with douchebaggery. That one incident was definitely self-defense though lol
And then he shows up for trial looking like a good ol boy 😂
For sure. Zach is clearly a messed up person
Yeah he’s a shitbag
Our neighborhood gets terrorized by assholes like Zach - I can understand their outrage. If cops did their jobs his car would have been confiscated and crushed.
Glad the kid took the room temperature challenge. He wasn’t there for anything good and you’re not required to wait until you’re in a vulnerable position to try and survive.
Breaking and entering, is a violent act.
James wouldn't stop. Why would he think that bursting into her house would turn into a Hollywood ending? It's sad that it had to happen but James f'd around and found out.
He was gonna do a Richard gear from officer and gentlemen
@@Jimjumjimmy Well, he would have to buy some hamsters, lubrication and a funnel for that.
Reminds me of that movie with a young Mark Wahlberg "Fear".
@@McLoven-vm1ckGreat movie. He played that role perfectly
It’s always been a pretty big 2a taboo, to hit someone in the back as the run away. Certain recent “events”, have put people on edge, so now it’s like all former rules regarding self defense, have been thrown out the window. Mostly a result of the huge influx of newbs to the 2a scene. They just don’t get it.
That last story was so insane. What was not said was the guy would go racing up and down the road in a neighborhood. And it was constant. This was over at least a yr. What Mike had was just the last week. Then they got scared he would kill one of the kids there. He put them on blast and they were harassed by those idiots. And cops didn't do anything because he was always sitting at home being a nice little AH! He should have done time for that alone. He tomented that family for a long time.
I imagine being the person of that character that he is he'll end up doing plenty of prison time throughout his life anyway
Yeah, I ultimately agree. I felt a little mixed initially as they certainly did go after him on his property after multiple warnings. To be fair they were likely just gonna tach him a little lesson on being a good neighbor, but still, they were warned. What changed my mind was considering the whole situation. It just seems wrong that a guy would instigate and harass a family for a year and when they get fed up and react that is used as an excuse to gut the guy. Definitely can't get behind that.
They’re stupid for going on his property for a 3v1. Yeah Zack is a jackass but they gave him a get out of jail free card cause they couldn’t handle their emotions.
@@lucians9083 you saying that they should have done it maybe a bit 'smarter', i'm not saying that, you not saying that, but someone saying that
They were victims until they came on to his property to assault him. I don't consider him a victim for getting stabbed while invading someone's home with violence.
A hole neighbors are all over the place. Gotta learn to deal with it or move. It's sad but true. Everywhere I go there's bs neighbors somewhere. I fantasize about teaching lessons, but it would be foolish to follow through with.
Guardian angels working 110% against that neighbor’s stupidity. A miracle he’s made it to that age
*hears shots & sees a guy on the ground* "let me go over exactly to where this happened and argue with people" what a dumba$$
Dad is a good dad.
The neighbour is an actual clown. Just inserting himself into a crime scene and pressing his neighbours right after a traumatic experience. This is why I live on an acreage.
Yeah what a dunce…kid got what was coming to him but imagine the last thing you hear is this clown
That’s not what happened. They were discussing whether or not he was a threat still.
Nothing better to do but be a nosy parker.
Giving a lecture about the use of deadly force while the guy lies dying in the driveway. Even if he means well, his priorities are all fucked up. He actually pointed at the body and said, "he's about to die" while doing shit to try and stop it.
That dazed look in James' eyes is so concerning. It looked as though he was not mentally there, and his body moved for him. I hate to think what could have happened if he did in fact confront his ex-girlfriend for whatever reason. The way he was attempting to break into the home, he definitely had a malicious intention.
Immediately when he mentioned the personality change I thought, "Undiagnosed mental illness setting in."
We'll never know, now, but it's unfortunate. It's possible he would have been fine with treatment, but this happened instead.
Schizophrenics are less than 0.5% of the population, but 10% of convicted murderers.
He was focused on getting to the young lass to do want he planned to do to her....well thats how it looked to me and im just speculating.
God yeah there was absolutely no life in his eyes at that point, it was chilling.
And that phone calls comes off as kinda sweet until you know the whole story.
I agree with other's assertions that there was very likely some mental illness going on but at that moment, that vacant look on his face and the very deliberate blinking indicates to me that there's a good chance he hadn't been to sleep at all that night. That he'd sat around thinking about Ally, made the phone call and left the message and then stayed up the rest of the night obsessing over it and her, maybe wondering why she wasn't calling back or what might happen when she did call back. And when it got so late in the morning and he hadn't heard from her, he decided that he had to go talk to her and got some fixation on it. It didn't look really emotionally driven, more like he'd gotten a thought in his head (just that he had to hear from her) and had to follow through with it and not let anything stop him. Which is super dangerous thinking for whoever is on the other end. That can be almost robotic- at least when it's driven by emotions there's a chance you can appeal to them that way. With this, it's almost mechanical.
My pop psychology diagnosis for the first kid is that he had schizophrenia. He would be about the age where it would start surfacing. They did say that he had changed dramatically over a short period of time.
Im sorry for the sister but come on...how can you defend this. Your brother made the decisions that cost him his life.
That last guy should have his license taken away and banned from all social media. He's a real a******
The license maybe but it’s even more ass like to go onto someone’s own property and assault them
Seriously, how hard is it to be respectful to your neighbors and their wishes? It can't possibly be that hard.
@@midashitegamer5264 Why are you in the comments condemning the guy who got stabbed actions? This dude was harassing, doxxing and threatening a family with a mass following. Don't think you would take too kindly to that either. And if the police don't do shit to stop it like this case, then what? You're out of luck unless you handle it yourself.
He got off easy for being a massive pr*ck and continues to get himself into trouble of his own accord.
The kid in the last video didn't even try to slow down in his own neighborhood. He taunted the couple whenever anything happened. I really have no patience with young men who feel they have a right to speed through family neighborhoods, rev their loud cars because they know it will annoy the neighbors and never try to alter their behavior because of their ego. I was struck by a car when I was 7; it was a neighbor who hit me and he was going 15 over the speed limit when he struck me while I was on a bike. For some reason, it didn't kill me. This kid in the video didn't care for anyone but himself.
I hear you but what makes it ok for that family to go IN HIS property? Isn't that what everyone is saying the other guy is a hero for? You can't have it both ways...
He was obviously an asshole. But that doesn't remove his right to defend himself when he's jumped and attacked on his own property.
I believe OP was just reiterating how much of an ahole the guy was and leaving and judgement of his legal guilt well alone…
@@lisasteel6817 judgement of legal guilt being they got killed in someone else's property. Just saying
@@AuntErmaoftheBeans what?
I don't understand why someone goes out of his way to be annoying and hurtful to others. Shoving your phone in someone's face and recording them, insulting them etc is not cool. This kid is a train wreck.
"Yall stop staring at that man bro" so considerate
Kudos to the dad for protecting his daughter,who cares what the neighbors said
That neighbour was batshit 😂
Amen
I recall an incident that changed my childlike mindset forever. So as a tiny skinny kid I’d wear my dad’s old shirts as bedtime gowns,.We my dad and I were at my aunts house a first floor apartment. So I remember I was wearing that shirt with just my underwear and I recall my dad saying I should stop standing near the windows just so no one could see me; I didn’t know what a pervert was or fathom anything they could do to a girl my age (6) I woke up late probably midnight or so,had woken my dad up for a drink, I was thirsty and too small to reach the cupboard when I heard the window screen slide up and open. It’s pitch black I guess dad hadnt opened the fridge yet, but he heard it and looked and seen somebody trying to climb into the window and dad stood infront of me, turned on the light and chased the guys out of the backyard. Sometimes I wonder if they were just there to rob it or what else. I stopped dressing like that ever since. Fathers have even more of a hard time protecting their daughters
The neighbors a moron.
@@amberg4131 OMG - your story gave me goosebumps! Thank God for your father and you waking up!!
The odd thing is, I’m glad the guy came to the families home instead of a story where they couldn’t reach their daughter until they find them days later.
To the sister of the boy who broke the door down,you're brother was a mental case,I saw it in his eyes,he had bad intentions, and that dad did the right thing!it's a hard pill to swallow but look at the video!! Its a no win situation, except the girl and her family didn't get hurt
Love your hair also these little, multiple bite-size crime stories. Love any style of your reporting 🙃
As always, thx Mike! ❤
The thing with "Karens" is half the time you see the videos start in the middle of something, and it's obvious the people taping were doing stuff to provoke other people and then film it.
We need a name for assholes who do that, too. You can't just call people "Karen" if they're upset about reasonable things like people racing down their street or being noisy all the time. "Karen" should be reserved for people who do things like call the cops on lemonade stands.
I hate the “Karen” thing for exactly this reason. That and no matter how egregious behavior is, you can’t ask for a manager.
You sound like a karen
@@TheGooglyminotaurlmfao, that's not it at all. It when people like you escalate a missed straw into a corporate call
@@stonedsasquatch oh, you've met them? Or do all conversations with managers result in a call to corporate?
@@stonedsasquatch ok boomer
James' sisters reaction to the Ring Doorbell footage and STILL wanting a "full investigation" tells me all I need to know about James and his family. He was only STARTING the abuse with Allison, which is why she never saw anything physical.
Sebastián is a legit badass. Respect
The neighbors commentary is something else
The fact that the first guy's sister said, "No one knows what his intentions were." Lady, he made his intentions clear when he busted up their door! Do you think he just wanted to sit and have a cup of coffee?
The last guy was an a-hole but he still has the legal right to defend himself if he's attacked in his home.
We'll never know what his intentions were, but the dad made his intentions very clear if he didn't leave. Still, he carried on braking in.
Agreed. He'll end up spending lots of his life in prison anyway, guaranteed.
Am I the only one that found the sister strange af also?
The series of Zack's mugshots documenting his transgression into full degenerate/criminal state is mind blowing. 🤯
I thought they were hilarious 😂😂
I think being so young, it may have messed him up knowing he killed someone. Even though it was self defense, that kind of thing changes you. Not condoning his actions, just trying to make some kind of sense as to why he would commit crimes like that while waiting for trial. Maybe he was hoping to go to prison??
Did his wife leave him? Or did they stay together 😅
he went from from pineapple to spaghetti real fast
TIk Tok: mission accomplished
I have lived at this house with my wife and kids for 5 years now and up until the other week it was peaceful, besides some neighbors being annoying. At about 3am my wife, kids, and I all woke up to 8 gunshots, I huddled the kids into our bedroom on the floor while I tried to determine where it had came from. Our entire street became part of a crime scene. Apparently a younger one (probably early 20's) of the neighbors shot his older sister to death, then took off running. They apprehended him shortly after it had happened luckily. I'll never understand how people can become so out of touch that they completely disregard the value of another life.
Can't believe that comedian SM story!! You saved the day pop!
While I am sympathetic for the young woman's loss of her brother, what remains in my mind is the thought of how she would feel if someone broke her front door in. The man was protecting himself, his wife, and his daughter. He gave a clear warning that he had a gun. The threat persisted, and he did what he needed to do.
You justifying someone being shot 3 times IN THE BACK is why America is so fucked up.
@@ourhandsaretied We have a lot of problems but valid self-defense isn't one of them. What is your ideal approach to the situation, they just let him rush in and start beating their daughter to death? If you don't want to get shot then maybe don't break down the door leading to someone shouting "leave, I have a gun."
He even waited till the guy broke the door in and tried to actually get in. He left him time to change his mind and leave, but he didnt and showed he was a real threat.
@@ourhandsaretiedit was pure self defense
I'm european btw ;)

"Ring camera, I am open to sponsorships" I was not expecting that and lost it! I love you Mike!
I did giggle!
Thing is... everything that sponsors Mike is terrible. From Air Up (almost a scam) to NordVPN (also almost a scam). Mike... can be do disingenuous.
'Ring' should pay attention. Mike's channel is perfect for their products.
That was funny! But being in marketing, Ring doesn't need too many sponsorships - the tens of thousands of Ring videos on YT and elsewhere make for far better exposure than they could ever get on a single channel. No offense to our buddy Mike, intended.
19:04 Bradley looks like they took his mugshot with the sad filter on! 😂😂😂😂
These old videos are something else. Thank you for shedding light on these crimes. You really do have one of the best channels on RUclips. You are right up there with Mr.Ballen. Glad I found you, keep posting and stay safe.
Omfg this neighbor
Hes giving real "well, shucks neighbor, i reckon you done killt em"
Reading your comment made me think of Jethro Clampet from The Beverly Hillbillies.
Except the good neighbor himself pointed at him said he was still alive. And did nothing to save him.
"He's not moving so I'm good" 😂 that freaking neighbor
People are crazy. Thanks for keeping them coming Mike!
I remember seeing the ring camera footage on TikTok and being glad that they were able to take him out.
That neighbor is really calm with just a dead body sitting right there
That was concerning and nosy as hell! Like, no one called you over here, Bob! This is a crime scene...go away!
Worse, not even a body but a dying person.
@@It-is-me...Melsie typical america, they ignore when u need help, then when shit is done they turn up and wanna be all neighborly.
@@It-is-me...Melsieright?! He's standing there like he's watering the lawn going, "oh he's still breathing." The neighbor was as weird as James.
That’s Ohio people for ya.
The Father in the second story should get a “Father Of The Year” award!!!
And hero hubby 😍😂
The craziest part of that one is that was Sebastian Maniscalco’s (famous comedian) cousin, and they have the same exact name 😂 I’m not joking
@@CantTellYouI came here to ask if it was THE Sebastian Maniscalco and glad I saw your comment. Apparently most of Mike’s comment section don’t know great comedy.
@@CantTellYou Yes! I was so surprised to hear the same name as that hilarious comedian !
I haven’t seen ya for a while, Mike… you hit a Mil not too long ago, now you’re nearly at 2 million! You are one heck of a storyteller & folk obviously appreciate it, hence your growing following! No true crime commentary person deserves it more (I follow several). Keep up the excellent content & we’ll be here for it
Agreed!
Sebastian Maniscalco the famous comedian would be proud to know his namesake is a Super Badass!
I wondered at that name, being a big fan. What are the odds such a unique name is not as unique as I thought. 😮
It’s his cousin, they have the same name.
The neighbor is just like "golly gee a dead guy"
That Shelby County, Ohio, case was deeply disturbing, especially the murder part that happened. The murder of James Rayl definitely reminds me of the recent murder of Kaylin Gallis, where James is essentially Kaylin and Mitch is Monahan. The difference between the two murderers fates was drastic; one got away scot-free, which is unfortunate, and one was sentenced to 27yrs-life (the maximum that judge could give). To call the murder of James Ray cold and unjustified is an understatement. Hopefully Mitch will one day pay the full price for this and have the book thrown at him just like Monahan. There are absolutely zero reasons or justifications to take the life of James R. The INJUSTICE is real in Ohio. Imagine if your loved ones lives were taken away, like Kaylin and James. Wouldn't you want the perps in the house to be sentenced to death? My condolences go to the James family for the grief they’re going through and that the middle-aged dad wasn’t sentenced to death or LWOP for the cold, premeditated murder of James Rayl. I’m extremely surprised that Mitch wasn’t held accountable; hopefully one day he will. Saying that the death of James is justified or is in self-defense would be asinine.
Why is their always someone who runs to the comments to defend the crooks and blame the victims? I will never understand it.
Premeditated? Oh boy are you deluded.
@@Beautifulclouds60 What's even more disturbing is the number of thumbs-up this rant got (154 at current count), with NO ONE disagreeing, even though the other comments here are overwhelmingly in favor of the family and Hero-Dad! It just goes to show that people are easily confused by a bunch of words that sort of sound like an argument they should agree with. Not only is it a strong indictment of the American educational system, but it explains how in the U.S., fast-talking hucksters are able to get elected to Congress (or higher office), and even thrive by spreading lie after lie, and ridiculous conspiracy theories!
Hello? What part of the video of James Rayl breaking in by busting down the door, ignoring the families' desperate pleas to leave and even warning him that they have a gun did you not see?
There's a crazy, delusional guy breaking into your home, threatening you and your family, who might be armed. You ain't shooting him to protect your family? If this isn't self-defense or justified, I don't know what is. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. James shouldn't have been there, shouldn't have busted down the door and threatened to enter that home. He got himself killed, simple as that.
I don't know what I find most disturbing, this mystifying rant of make-believe or how many delusional people gave it a thumbs up.. just wow
Sebastian was awesome protecting his family
The guy was obsessed. He wasnt going to stop.
I remember seeing this a couple months ago.
It's disgusting how his parents still act like he didn't do anything wrong.
Literally breaking and entering. I'm okay with self defense as long as its used right and it was definitely warrented here.
I agree. The fact that they even made a FB page to slander the girl's family and spread lies was totally disgusting too. Explains why their son grew up to be an abusive partner
@@sharraleigh yeah it's always like that, our son is a perfect angel and can't do no wrong. Give me a F-ing break.
I agree. Parents don't really know their kids because the average kid keeps a lot of secrets from the time they turn 13 until they reach about 30 or 40, when they finally learn who they really are themselves. I wish we knew how to change that. Maybe it's about trust; kids trusting their parents enough to talk openly about what's really going on in their heads; but I don't know. But then parents would have to be grateful for their kid's honesty instead of getting angry or over-reacting, or whatever, so there's *that* problem.
@@g-maof8491 Actually it's more of people allowing whatever to happen. Some parents were abused and then pass that on to their kids and so on. Now yeah their are cases where the parents are abusive and the kid becomes better and their a chances that we have great parents where the kid is just a anomaly when they go crazy.
Yeah I wish we could find out why this happens.
@@sharraleigh Well, now we know where he got it from. What a wretched family.
I felt so bad for this girl and her dad. This didn't need to happen but someone dropped the ball on that kid's mental health needs.
It's not mental health, it's the drugs. Even weed can mess up some people's mind. Don't do drugs.
I think this is the best comment.
@@verabolton how are drugs the bigger problem here?
@verabolton how is drugs the problem, the dude had 0 drugs in his system, he didnt do this because of weed, he snapped and was gonna get that girl even if he had to break down the door, he probably thought he could get his hollywood ending, what he got was himself deader then a plank of wood
@@veraboltonhe had no intoxicants in his system though
Thank the Lord for the husband and father. Good for him. Hero. Blessings Be.
This was as great as video can be considering this topic. Love you !
Ngl the 'i saw 200 grand in cash 20 years ago' plan coupled with the sad mugshot is hilarious 😂
I am 95% sure they came up with that idea whilst smoking on a crack pipe
Womp womp
I know it looked like a home alone kind of thing
Bradley’s mug shot looks like he was crying. Best mug everrrr 😂😂
Yeah like “poor poor me” 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, the BIG MAN is scared!
That last case made me so mad. Zack was *clearly* harassing his neighbors, the cops knew about it and apparently didn't do anything or do enough to stop him. The neighbors went through the proper channels to try to make it stop and it did nothing - in fact, the harassment got worse. The law failed that family big time in the first place and then failed tremendously again when it came to the trial. He shouldn't be charged with murder, but definitely manslaughter, considering the fact that *he brought it on himself*.
You are one of the best due to your light-hearted, but empathetic approach with a brilliant structure to stories… ✅🍀👍
The neighbor cracks me up. "he ain't going no where" 😆
That's a neighbor you can borrow a cup of sugar from.
@@screweverything2215 that neighbour is an asshat
How are u joking about this? U get self defense but where's ur sympathy for a dying human?
@@wenb9270 play stupid games win stupid prizes, that's how.
I love the RUclips comments section 🤣
Thank God the Dad was home. Shudder to think if he wasn't. Idk what James was about, but he effed around and found out. Sad he didn't listen. And that neighbor....wth?!! Go home Nosey Nancy. Can't believe he was arguing with that family.
It sucks he had mental problems and that he died…But I think every father do the same the same or at least hope that they should protect their family. And to be honest, it doesn’t matter who was on the other side of the door, could have been a single person with no family. Personally I think he sounded suicidal in the voicemail, I don’t think he cared what happened to him. Very sad for his family, but they need to understand the father and the daughter were also put through a very traumatic experience that they certainly wish hadn’t happened.
James was obviously still in love with her and couldn't handle she no longer felt the same as him and wanted nothing to do with him anymore. His intentions couldn't have been good if he broke down the door though. Father did what he supposed to.
Great vid! I love how you are mixing them up! Looking forward to the big 2 MILLION! Congrats, you are the best on RUclips with storytelling. I’m a sub from under 200k, glad to be part of the “That Chapter “ family!
Pretty sick how Zachary got off with that. Dude deserved jail for sure.
I don't think any amount of investigation will get a jury to look past the fact that he broke into the house... It sucks when people die but at what point do people acknowledge that in certain situations you're taking your life into your own hands?
Prayers for everyone involved.
She was grifting for money cashing in on her brother's death.
Ring doorbells I'm open to sponsors had me crying 😂😂😂
Smooth mike. Smooth 💯
13:37 was a straight-up Elmer Fudd moment.
Omg 😂😂
the most unmoved nonchalant neighbors
That neighbour though. He sure inserted himself pretty quickly. Nothing on tv I guess.
Wow, the neighbour in the first one is a real goof
You could do A THOUSAND of these in SOUTH AFRICA....brutal does not even scratch the surface
That neighbor in the first one! Standing there with his arms crossed saying "Yep, that guy looks like he needs some help. Just barely breathing there."
The guy in the second story who was charged with murder looks like that “crying” filter on tiktok 😂😂
That “turd” one makes me SO glad I’ve got decent neighbors!
Don't mess with Sebastian, folks!! 😮 What a guy...
"not guilty on all charges!!!" injustice.
