    I am a RN. I worked for our last inpatient psychiatric facility in our county before it was closed down back in 2008. It was a locked, guarded community setting for individuals that greatly needed it. It housed well over 300 people year round. When it closed our local hospitals, emergency rooms, jails, homeless shelters and other facilities were completely overran with patients we simply could NOT manage. Period. People fail to realize that your average mentally unwell patient takes 3 times the resources than a medically ill patient does. But the state doesn’t staff healthcare workers appropriately to accommodate that. It’s absolutely devastating to see some of the sh*t I’ve seen over the last 2 decades. To have to literally discharge someone from the hospital to the woods bc they’ve burned their bridges at every single facility there is. Our country has a severe mental health crisis and it just sucks and keeps getting worse as time goes on. It costs WAY more money to manage these folks like it is now, than it did to keep those inpatient facilities open…so for government agencies to claim budget issues is a huge crock of crap.

    My father was a very loving, caring family man. He treated his psychiatric patients with the same compassion as he did his loved ones. Everyone in our family felt (were) blessed to have him with us for as long as we did. That being said, one conversation I had with him that sticks in my mind is when I expressed a desire to go into the mental health field when I was deciding on my major in college. I had ambitions of helping people with problems and hoped to be a provider of comfort and wisdom like he had always been. Ultimately, in our discussion he told me that the the people that need the most help, often cannot be helped. This was the first time in my life talking with him that I felt discouraged and also realized his frustration with his work. As sad as it seemed, It was very insightful advice. It is worth mentioning that this was during the early Reagan Years and now the connection has been made for me. What you do is exceptional.

    I’ve listened to every episode of Monsters since discovering the series almost two years ago, and I have to say this is by far your best work. I loved the way you included the tidbits about Kemper’s killings that were happening simultaneously, as well as the interactions between the two killers behind bars. I’ve been a true crime fan for a long time and I’m extremely surprised I’d never heard about Mullins before this, especially because I’ve listened to several about Kemper and Mullins has never been mentioned in any of them.
    Top notch work on this one. What a wild ride.

      Many people get stuck on this concept! As if understanding the motivations and triggers some how excuses the behaviour.
      It absolutely does not excuse it - it helps us to understand the WHY. Which then allows us to make informed choices on any decisions moving forward eg. Drug or alcohol rehabilitation, specialist counselling, relocation, sentence length, treatment plans etc.

    It's incredible how even after all the documentaries I've seen about Ed Kemper, part of his story being told through a different lens that doesn't focus on him as the main character still manages to elicit shock and uncover new information.

      Ed Kemper is one of the most fascinating serial killers I've looked into(audhd, PTSD,amsiety,insomnia, ECT) and I have a thing for true crime. The show mind hunters has one of the best profiles of him I feel like...might not be 100% word for word but it shows his character and a deeper emotional(childhood neglect and abuse) side of him ...and I don't mean to excuse his horrendous acts or glorify them, it's just the psychology that is so interesting to look for and learn about. I think that those of us who have been through abuse and trauma get so into true crime because it shows a logical and tangible reason behind the monsters that harm others, but also teaches us red flags to look for. Sorry for the tangent, I'm sick and spending NYE quarantining lol

      Honestly, Kemper was a monster beyond any description. However, I find it interesting to listen to his perspectives and his personal insight as to why he did what he did. Does that excuse anything he did? Nope. But between Bundy and Kemper, they’re definitely insights that help explain other future monsters. However, it is truly horrendous to hear him calmly recount what he did and why.

    Mullin was obviously insane. This is one of the cases in which I struggle to understand how anyone could think that the defendant was sane. I mean...if this dude wasn't insane, who is? I know that he tried to not leaving any traces in some of his crimes, but that doesn't mean he was sane and knew that what he had done had been wrong. It can easily be explained by him understanding that most people wouldn't believe that he had been on an important mission to save millions of lives by "sacrificing" some lives. Some schizophrenic people do understand that their delusional beliefs will not be shared and appreciated by other people, while they still firmly believe in them to be true.

    • @eduardodiaz9942
      @eduardodiaz9942 Год назад

      Insane in legal terms isn't the same as in medical terms. Yes, Mullin was a certifiable nutcase, but he was declared sane because he knew that what he was doing was wrong. He just considered it necessary because otherwise God would destroy California or some shit.

    • @meese9140
      @meese9140 Год назад

      The legal construct of the insanity defense in many states is that you have to be so fucked up in the head that you didn’t know that what you were doing was wrong. The courts tend to interpret any attempt to cover up your crimes or evade the police as proof of (legal) sanity. Also, in a lot of cases if someone gets NGBRI they will be released from the hospital if they are ever deemed sane, so juries are reluctant to use it in the case of heinous murderers. Obviously, that’s a flawed definition of insanity, because you end up with people like herbert mullin and richard chase, who were BONKERS FOR YONKERS in gen pop in prison. They really oughtta l change it so that if you are so psychotic you’re in narnia, you get sentenced to a hospital forever.

    I worked as a speech therapist for the elderly for a few years and the wife of one of my clients was a patient of Dr. Ota and good friends with his wife.

    This is a great one, Jiles. I'm local to the SF to Santa Cruz coast and I never really appreciated how close all of this was to me until this video being accompanied by the photos of folks and places I actually recognize then vs now and newspaper clippings with other concurrent news in the world at the time. Murder capitol?! I had no idea.* My dad and his siblings would have just been in high school when this case happened, same one I went to smack dab in the middle between SF and SC on highway 1, and my principal was even a classmate of my uncle's. Way before my time, around this time in the 70s or early 80s, my mom was stabbed by a man who was friends with her ex and who was only out on the street because of Reagan's psychiatric closures. I had believed in Nebraska, where she's from originally, but perhaps could have been in California if Reagan was still governor at the time of closures & not president yet. I don't know as many details as maybe I should or would like to know, I've just always kind of been aware since I was little that if not for her very-near death experience and subsequent divorce, and sort of whole new start over second life, she would've never met my dad and I would've never been born _(very unplanned_ but welcome). I really should ask her more questions while she's still around. This case feels a bit closer to home than most. Thanks TIMonsters
    * editing to add
    JILES! Would you consider looking into the Gypsy Hill Murders / San Mateo Slasher case?
    It's another local to me from the 70s, not fully solved until very recently via genetic geneology, when one presumed killer turned out to be (at least) 2 killers and exonerated the longest serving wrongfully-convicted woman in the US, who got pinned only because she was also mentally ill and had falsely confessed. And the one guy was only out for a few months between prison stints waiting to start a life sentence when he did the murders. It's pretty infuriating when you look at the timelines, and practically NO ONE has covered it on the youtubes. Zodiac and the Zebra murders were also contemporary to these.

    "Meanwhile, the crazy man running around shooting people" made me literally LOL.
    The combination of "clearly 100% insane" BUT SANE ENOUGH to conceal his crimes and know to lie about his mental health - that's got to be the most terrifying combination of traits I can imagine.

    This is one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen on any true crime channel. I’ve been spending an average of 12 hours/day listening to true crime. I love psichology and understanding why people do what they do when commiting these horrible acts. Also, I’ve been battling depression and alcoholism and hearing these stories makes me feel like my life is somewhat good - by comparison.
    You are genuinely my fav creator on here. I love your voice, your warmth and understanding and also your decisiveness when calling someone out as a monster. Thank you, dear friend, for that is what you are to me. You make me feel un-alone.

      Best of luck to you in working thru those things. I had a hard time with depression over the last few years also and I used that as a reason to drink, to self medicate. I got out of control and went from having some drinks at night to try and sleep instead of being up with my depressing thoughts, to needing to have a few drinks right after getting up, just to make the shakes go away. I couldn't text or otherwise type on my phone with the shaking. I could hardly write anything on paper that was legible even to myself. I was going thru a fifth every day or two along with however many beer's. I had to check myself into a detox facility just to get beyond the first days and not have a seizure or pass out or something. I tried to quit cold turkey and I live alone so it was bad when I stood up and immediately felt like I was going to collapse. I tried to sit before I fell but wasn't fast enough so I passed out and collapsed down the top flight of my stairs. I was very lucky not to have been badly hurt or worse when that happened. The detox place really did the trick and allowed me to get to a point where I could start getting back on track. However you go about it and whatever tools you use to deal with both issues, I hope the best for you.

I’m doubtful you would have received life in prison for that alone. I‘ll play devils advocate for a second and assume that you may have been given more time once incarcerated for fighting and breaking laws in prison. I don’t know, im not hating on you for what you did and it makes me sick that you were thrown out of the hospital to fend for yourself, but I don’t think you’re sharing the full story.

    Amazing video ❤ full of great information with supporting evidence👌 Margaret Thatcher here in the UK & Reagan in the US have a lot to answer for with the closing of specialised mental health facilities in the 70s & 80s. Admittedly many of these places were rife with abuse but to release these poor patients into communities stripped of mental health facilities is criminal. I came to the US in February 1999 getting married in ‘Murderville’ on Valentine’s Day, taking a trip to Yosemite shortly after when Carey Stayner was still on the loose 😳 my brother could not join us there a day or so later as that entrance to the park was police taped off….. we had no idea, leaving Yosemite after 2 nights to fly home….

    RIP Ohta family. 🙏🏼
    My ex-inlaws were rather well off. My ex-father-in-law worked long hours at his job to earn money. He also made a timely investment in a car company, something with early MOPAR I think.
    They were wonderful people, and I am glad that I was able to enjoy their company before they passed.
    It's sad to think that someone could resent them for having money. They weren't born into it, they worked for it, and imo, they deserved it.
    They were kind, sharing often, both money and time.

    Schizophrenia can be such a horrible disease. It’s onset is usually between 18-20-right when a child is becoming an adult. Hopefully it gets treated and can be managed usually quite well with medication. The problem is that once the symptoms subside, many feel like they are cured and go off their medication. Unfortunately, this is a disease that doesn’t get cured, only managed dependent on patient compliance. My heart goes out to all victims and the sufferer as well.

      Don’t forget that there’s different variations of it and so many people live happy and fulfilling, independent lives while suffering from schizophrenia. And most of them are NOT violent and instead are often the victims of assaults. That being said, for the severe cases, they definitely have to be in full care and be made sure to continue to take their medication for their entire lives.
