If he's got oppositional defiance disorder tell him he isn't allowed to give up crystal meth.
👍
Great idea!
LOL
Incredible, or rather tell him he could never and you’re willing to bet on it 🤣
This was funny 🤣
He’s the kind of guy that borrows your car without asking sells the tires & gets mad your upset
Classic junkie that's why people hate these people and won't help them
Lol!!!!!
Yea trash
He have a Zugzwang mentality
Read this before even starting the video and his picture alone makes me assume you're accurate
15 years clean off ice and watching this made me remember how utterly EXHAUSTING it is to be a slave to the drug and how exhausting it is to love and be around an addict. It's just go go go. Godspeed to this young man. ✌️🤟🧡💛
Yes! A sense of urgency within him evokes a feeling of exhaustion
Right on comment. Stay on good Path too
Thnx godspeed
God bless you
"A slave to the drug" Well said, that's exactly what it is. Congratulations on 15 years clean.
I started ice at 13 from my mom giving me a hit so I hadn’t really known any differently now 5 years clean and realize how bad of a Mom I had and how horrible it was to be a slave to a rock it is very exhausting
Probably the #1 most untrustworthy individual Mark has ever interviewed. Yikes! This guy will steal your shit and then help you look for it.
Yeppers 🤣🤣
I was thinking that too lol #1
Insane but so so true , very well said
That’s almost every hardcore drug addict on this series. They will do anything and everything to catch that next high. Robbing old ladies, knocking out an old man to take a couple dollars. Stealing from little kids. A lot of these stories are sad but I don’t have any sympathy. We ALL have problems and the majority of us just deal with them. Like adults are supposed to do. Right now there’s a woman watching this that was molested as a child but she didn’t use it as an excuse. She picked herself up and now she helps talk to other girls that went through similar things. I do feel for some of these people but I don’t feel sorry for them
Oh, He's fine. 🤷♂️
He left his baby in the house and blamed the mother instead of going back in to save his baby... yeah, the denial of being a total coward would mess with your mind.
A coward and a loser. No wonder he thinks about suicide every day.
how do you know it happened that way?
I thought the same thing how weird it was to say you ran out by yourself first didn’t try to save anyone else and then be upset that the Baby Mama didn’t save that baby
This is honestly in my opinion one of the most disturbing interviews on this channel. This guy is absolutely dangerous and a straight menace to Society, by choice.
Fkn scary
He’s high on meth
I don't know about by choice. He does have mental illness.
.......and annoying as hell!!!!
EXACTLY! HES AN ASSHOLE!
I second that
This guy will prey on any weaker person or situation, the commenters are extremely gracious.
Thats what i said...dude is Dangerous...with a capital D
I am from a place where people like are all over. Most of the stories that mark brings here with some people you can tell they are genuine people who’ve been dealt a bad hand in life and have a pure heart but they are stuck, this guy has narcissistic tendencies, and a victim mentality. I have known people just like him, and they care only about their next high and how to get it.
Some people can't have anything (or anyone) nice. They want to break it all.
This man needs to be monitored
@@El_Guero_925 100% on point!!!
dude choked his sisters son 3 or 4 times and still expects to stay at her house? lawd!
Yeah he's a abandoned
Well he did it once and then she told him not to
He obviously can't express his emotions like the majority of people she should understand that
@@kalvinreeves527
Which means he's dangerous to have around children & pets
@@kalvinreeves527She did the right thing, id prioritize my child's safety over this ungrateful individual as well.
He has no respect for anyone or any thing , even him self.. a very dangerous personality type....
"House got shot up...Hit a gas line ... Baby Mama got out... Didn't get the Baby out....house exploded " Makes TOTAL SENSE.. and y'all believe this? comment section is packed with incredible gullibility... Drug prevention not Enabling.
100% agree with you!!
So do you think he even has a child? Or just that whole part is made up?
@@DoubleDash28 I was seriously considering he either was completely lying about having a kid at all, or lying about the whole house/gas line death story. Details don't add up; something doesn't sound right. Idk. He just seems like he's completely devoid of emotional love, empathy, and connection with other people. I mean, I guess it's certainly possible he can with another person, perhaps his own child. But he just doesn't seem like he's capable. So to hear of his child dying (assuming he's telling the truth) causing him all this extra messed up in the head stuff is, to me, doubtful.
@@starthieves18 I’m guessing meth lab
That story struck me as false
“ Its hard to do small intricate things like rolling blunts “💀😂
🤣🤣💯
Cant roll joints or get cigs out of the pack either😂🤦
Before my 71-years old SO of 30 years died last October he LITERALLY had to ask me how many cups of coffee a SCOOP made! On his own, pretty much staying in his apt. except for...I'm sure...his connections. Probably weighed 125 when he died.
Why didnt you grab your daughter? You cant blame the mother without blaming yourself.
Neither of the parents attempting to get the baby before the explosion, or maybe assuming the other one will and running out, is unfathomable.
Exactly !
That’s one guilty mf to me
He always had that crackhead mentality ha
Then he was asked if he has any regrets and his daughter never came out of his mouth. He’s a lying BS artists that talks too much
I'm two years clean off ice, sitting and feeding my 6 month old baby while I watch this. seeing him doesn't make me mad, crave or feel anger towards him. instead, I wish I could tell him he's talented!! anyone who can fix a starter just by watching a video on it has talent! if you ever get tired, go impatient man. sleep the first week of detox. when you complete two months get a job working on engines.your smart enough to be a mechanic. and your story could change alot of lives. please!??
I'm going to add this. Three, four years ago I became a drug felon. The place of business it happened outside of, I'm now the assistant manager of. It is a small town but, the manager watched me get my life together, and decided to be the first to show trust in me. It's kinda really cool when I think about it.
🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Congratulations on your baby and staying clean!
God bless you and the little one♥️🙏🏽
🎉A hella accomplishment and I give you props. God bless you and yours❤
Congrats on your sobriety and your baby.
I watched every second of this and replayed numerous parts to ensure I digested this young man's story. He is definitely not dumb, by any means. I think he has experienced more PTSD than most of us could have imagined. Hearing more about his younger childhood memories would provide significant insight as to how his brain chemically developed to function in such a severely traumatized and defensive manner. I feel his interview was 98% authentic and can legitimately be used for statistical data collection. Respect to this guy for being incredibly transparent and open. This is only 1 person's story out of millions, but I will never forget this interview.
Oh God, it is a struggle to empathize with this dude. I wish him well
That's the right comment ,i believe
Why is it hard?
@@brittneypawlak7256 by the looks of it, he would just prey on anyone he comes across. I wouldnt get anywhere near him. Just my two cents.
if this was a female all the comments would be sympathy. you're all see through
I have no empathy for him .
The fact he doesn't realize he is the Maniac in the tunnel is blowing my mind.
Haha I heard it right now and this is so true so psycho and also so fuunny because he is afraid of his own shadow
Totally
It's the meth.
prelude: "my mind plays tricks on me"
Yea it's interesting how some humans just can't take accountability over things an I genuinely think it's not on purpose there wires are just crossed wrong in the brain
I'm amazed this dude has lived this long. He's going to pick the wrong one soon enough.
He wants to die. And he will soon enough.
Amen!
Yes he is living on borrowed time. God has a purpose for him, let's hope he recognizes it and takes advantage of it to improve his life or someone else life.
Yep….This little punk is going to pick the wrong person to Rob….guaranteed.
@@loosescrews8106 -He’s not even sure there is a God…if he did, he surely wouldn’t be robbing people, and having a hateful attitude towards anyone not his “family”…
My middle nephew that we've adopted has ODD and it is extremely trying, to say the least, to deal with. He does irritating things all the time for negative attention and only because he KNOWS we don't want him to be doing them. He's careless and a slob. Very self-centered, but at the same time has a heart of gold and cares for others when no one else does. His newest ailment that he plays is a "cough". A "cough" that only happens when it's time to settle down and watch cartoons before bedtime. Before the cough it was sniffling, to where we'd tell him to blow his nose. Then it was clearing his throat and playing with his hair. The reason why I know it's for attention is that if I threaten to send him to bed early, miraculously the cough, sniffling, etc; stops. All three of my nephews that we've adopted have ADHD severely and having three at once has been very trying at times. Their mother did uppers and downers for street drugs during all of her pregnancies, including her eldest son that is 21 that was adopted out as an infant. They were 6,7, and 11 when we got them home with us. They have come so far. So very proud of them. Cannot wait to see what they do with their lives and how they blossom and help make this world a better place.
Wow this is terrifying. His behavior just keeps escalating. He knows he is doing the wrong thing but he can’t/won’t stop. He will do anything it takes to get ahead even if someone else gets hurt because of it. He doesn’t feel bad about it either.
its not that he will do anything to get ahead, its that he will do anything for his fix. notice who he picks on, people weaker than him. the only way he makes himself feel powerful is by saying oh if I get in a fight and he is bigger ill just use a tool and won't stop. its the only way he makes himself feel powerful, because in reality he and we know this little skinny tweakier will get his neck snapped if a 220lb man grab it and decides its his day to be taught a lesson.
He's scary!
@@kati1017 I agree. Unpredictable
This is what survival is. The world is not kind and will take everything from you if you let it.
Drugs will bring the worst out in some people. If you naturally have a tendency to be aggressive it just escalates that part of them. If you're an introvert I'm sure you become more and more anti social and depressed.
The honesty! This guy seems like the type that will steal your false teeth and then smile at you with your own teeth.
he's wicked enough to do such a thing!
Lol!! I know!
He is terrifying looking and sounding. When he said he was only 26 I was astonished.
Imagine him without the wig on
Meth
I worked with young children with ODD, FASD, all the acronyms. It's as scary as is heartbreaking. At times they were "normal" and just needed to be nurtured and sometimes they were terrifying and exhibited scary behavior. This guy is a deep thinker and quite intelligent in a non conventional way. With early intervention he may have stood a chance at living a better life. Sad.
What does ODD look like in adults?
that guy loves his life
@@Abrookesong You watched the video?
@@-a-l-t- disagree
well said.
He caused most of his own problems by breaking rules. He need to learn how to respect other people place and property.
I’m surprised it seems like he’s maybe been caught or had true consequences
He has ODD. That's like saying 'He caused his own problems because he worries about things too much', to a person with generalised personailty disorder.
Hes a drug addict they have issues with normal society and authority
He seems to be very proud of his lifestyle
why show a stranger your weakness?
might as well love what you know than to hate your reality.
@@KenfettiWap I mean technically he did show his weakness. Did you listen to the interview? It was all about him and his weaknesses. He just didn't understand that.
It must be utterly exhausting to be in this man’s head. The embodiment of hyperactive.
The drugs don’t help.
Its the crystal
No, the drugs don't help. But I have a close family member VERY similar to him. She's older now, almost 60, and still struggles like this guy. But even without the drugs they often present like this. Then they get their drugs and yeah... It can be exhausting trying to keep up. But I've seen her without the drugs many many times thru my life, and unfortunately even then, she/they ramble, are "quirky" and don't know how to compose themselves within societal "norms". The ADHD mind from how she explained it, craves the speed/caffeine/Adderall/meth because it actually helps soothe their brain. But... Then some people overdo and abuse the stimulants that once helped them, and then that's when we see them awake for days on end, not eating or drinking, without even knowing it most of the time, until they either find another drug to knock themselves out or sometimes psychosis kicks in, and eventually they pass out or get hurt and taken to the ER or jail to finally come down and then sleep it off for the next few days.
Probably self medicating ADHD and doesn't know it.
This guy is complete bad news. People should stay away from him at all costs.
People shouldn't need to fear other people, he should be removed from society if he can't play by the rules.
😂😂😂
@@tjwoosta tell that to the government that got rid of all the mental institutions
DEAD
Gotta have compassion. If I think he should be kicked out of society, it’s the same as kicking me kicking myself out of society. We are all one. Love everyone
This guys got it all figured out. String theory, theology, psychology....its incredible.
Well you can't be choking your cousin. His sister was being kind, and he does this. This guy is bad news. Give up the drugs.
Yeah, he is bad news. The type of person my parents told me to stay away from.
It was his nephew
Exactly, he shouldn’t be choking his sisters’ son.
@@AotearoaAnge Sorry his nephew yes. Four times, that's not a one off. That nephew is in his own home being choked, not good. His sister/the mother would have to remove him.
@@PauliePinch13 That's it Paul, it's a pity, but that's it in a nutshell.
This man's biggest fear is silence and calm
This clown has created all his problems. I have zero sympathy for someone who takes no accountability
We must remember it started when he was born... he didn't ask for lack of guidance... his environment created him...
@@stopbugginandtakearedpill2957 that excuse only lasts for so long. He is an adult, act like one. He knows the difference between right and wrong. My childhood was fucked up too, you keep your head down and work hard. He took the easy route
@@willmach If u wanna call his life easy
@@willmach you can say that, but it’s not like when you turn 18 a magic switch flicks in your head and you suddenly have a clear understanding of morality and what’s right and wrong. If he’s gone his whole life with a skewed moral compass and no great outside pressure strong enough to change him, how is he expected to change? I’m sure you also had a tough childhood but it’s not like you’ve had the same experiences and opportunities as him. Everyone acts the way they do for a reason, I can have empathy for the guy but I don’t have to feel bad for him.
@@willmachyou dont just erase trauma at 18. I saw alot of ppl go down this path. Im happy i didnt, but i have sympathy for the misguided human. There is almost always room for sympathy. If that sounds soft to you im sure u got sum built of trauma.
Not a person anyone wants around because he likes being a jerk. Keep fighting my friend and stay alone. He seems proud of his behavior. The worst friend possible. Selfish and its always about him and everyone being against him. He expects fair treatment, yet he treats everyone like crap.
Little man syndrome
Sickening
It’s not often that I don’t feel compassion for the people in these videos, but in this case I don’t. I’m not even three minutes in, but I’ve heard enough.
Totally agree…! He has potential to live a clean life, but he’s too cocky. I’m not into stealing shit from anyone…..I’m all about hard work….I hope he decides to steal something from the wrong person, he needs to learn the hard way.
Agreed. And his lack of guilt / remorse after the death of his baby is absolutely deplorable. Giving him the benefit of the doubt and let's say it was a random act of violence, for anyone to survive that situ and your baby not to, the guilt would would be unimaginable. He actually points blame to the gf....when infact he was there too and didn't "save" her either . It's shocking his lack of accountability
"Never Accept Defeat"
He's a drug addict..
He's Accepted that Defeat.
Oh piss off that's not how it works
Clearly uneducated on the topic, being a drug addict has nothing to do with accepting defeat, do you know how many functioning addicts are around you? You don't because you're ignorant, you act like you know it all but ya don't know a fucking thing
If he accepted defeat he would just sober up
Oof. This. This is the comment I needed to see. Ty. Outlook has been changed but keeping it moving . Thank you for this 🤫🤔🥲😅🙂😥🤫🙂
"it was all healed...except for where the bone was sticking out"
--My Guy
Don't confuse intelligence with fast talking. They're not one in the same.
Either way, Godspeed young man. Hope you get clean.
I didn't equate his intelligence with vocal speed 🙄
He's more of a god luck good speed type.
this guys funny af to listen to he’s like a 3 year old in a grown man’s body 😂
Drugs, my friend.
Not funny, it’s makes me deeply saddened that he’s emotionally stunted from his traumatic childhood. When no one loves or cares, or checks on you and your development, all you know is what you learned from other shady street characters, it’s not his fault he doesn’t know, I don’t think he even knows that this isn’t how all people are, or that life can be something different than the life he’s always known
@@bulletsxdame that was not caused by drugs.
@@TheAverageSavage1021 idk man it’s kind of like watching a monkey in the zoo sure you feel bad about captivity but when’s it ever gonna change? It’s still kinda funny to observe the shenanigans.
@@sugarsore I’d say it’s caused by a mixture of stunted mental growth + drugs frying the rest of that frontal cortex up like a state fair stick of butter
My brother has add, adhd, and odd. The behavioral issues are severe. He thankfully has straightened up his behavior a bit. Started a business.
This is a dangerous dude. Willing to do anything to get high with little remorse. U can tell hes been in a lot of fights. This may be an unpopular opinion, but i wonder how much medicating children for being "different" ie - not able to conform to sitting for hours in an educational institution, paves the way for later drug use and life in the fringes. I mean, he even says, he was already medicated on a daily basis w adderal....
I agree, there most likely is a link, it would be interesting to look and see if any studies exist on this. *sets mental reminder to google*
Im not a doctor but I feel like it's obvious theres a link. Docs prescribing literal childs with developing brains with amphetamine habits. Yeah that can't backfire 😒
I think you are on to something.
This guy is very intelligent and has a great vocabulary. I think the early childhood medication messed him up mentally and psychologically. It sounds like it damaged his lobes…prefrontal cortex damage?
The US government has been drugging poor and disenfranchised people since the 30's. It's their version of the Final Solution.
As a therapist, Im always fascinated by the resiliency people are able to find even in the lowest depths of hell.
resilient?!....nah...he just doesn't even care
He has mental illness. What's your reason ?
This dude is truly wasted talent. Smart , observant, well spoken. I hope he pulls it together.
The words that come to mind for me to describe him are apathetic, energetic, pessimistic, callous, egotistical and calculated. A lot of people say he's intelligent but to me this is just a back and forth conversation/interview. Maybe because he's coherent, talks fast and not out of it, people are describing that as intelligent. Not saying he isn't but I'm just not seeing how this interview portrays intelligence.
Cuzz The Bleeding 🩸 Heartsz Are Saving This Misfit Junky. He May Be Loyal To A Choosen Few. But, His Loyalty Is Miss Gideed To Punkz&Trouble Makers Who Can’t Fight Smh
I think ppl are saying intelligence because he is educating the audience about certain topics. I didn’t hear any original thoughts from him.
@@user-pd3el7yt7s Nothings really original tho eh?
I would say this man is eloquent, street smart enough to feed his addiction, resilient and manipulative.
With education stopping at 9th grade and his display of indepth knowledge and photographic memory, I say he's genius and would have made a great school teacher minus the drugs
That addiction is the kind where you don’t realize how far gone you are before you’re too far gone. IYKYK.
Wishing this young man the absolute best. Addicts are some of the most interesting people full of so much potential.
Some of the most intelligent, pharmacists, artists, engineers, are overlooked due to their lives in the streets and suffer from mental health, addiction, homelessness.
Yeah man, this dude was trying to call himself a functional user meanwhile he's scratching and picking at his skin while talking a thousand miles a minute. You can see junkies make it out, get sober and have some semblance of a normal life. Meth on the other hand...it'll turn you into an insect scurrying around town and even if you quit you don't come back to reality.
Never comment on these threads but I'm in shock with his lack of accountability and remorse. His house was shot up ( I'm presuming it was because of something he or his partner did). He got out himself and blames the girlfriend for not grabbing the little baby. He didn't even say that he tried. Fair enough might have been impossible but to show no remorse or guilt for what happened his child ( whether he is at fault or not) is very worrying. Regardless of the circumstances a natural emotion for surving a situation like that would be guilt for those who didn't survive. Hopefully it's the drugs that have him so devoid of such feelings and its not his default.
Glad I’m not the only one with the exact thoughts towards this situation….🤬🤬
@@Aquabob1 I'm annoyed with myself I even commented tbh but I'm actually angry after that interview, Ive watched nearly all of them and always had some compassion for everyone so far. Drug addiction is not an excuse for his lack of accountability and guilt. And by the sounds of it his behaviour and lack of empathy was there long before he started taking drugs. Hate to be so negative but ...I work with children with ADHD and ODD , some medicated some not, I'm trained how to best support them in their daily lives, how to give them them the opportunity to reach their full potential and how to teach them strategies on how to regulate their behaviours and emotions. ADHD and ODD are not excuses or reasons for lack of accountability and selfishness nor does any person/ child I've encountered with these diagnoses display such lack of social awareness
And no regrets about trying to save his baby.
@@juju.bean3435 That part caught my attention. I was surprised he didn't say something about that when he mentioned that his girlfriend didn't get their baby. I was really surprised he didn't mention it when he was asked about regrets in life.
I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt until that point. I thought maybe he didn't realize there was a gas leak. Or he thought the mother was with their baby and would bring their baby outside. Maybe the house blew up right as he realized this, and he didn't have time to go back and get their baby. But in any of the scenarios I thought of, I still find it shocking that there would be no mention of not saving their child when asked about regrets.
Maybe he was that detached. Maybe he's that cold. Maybe drug abuse messed with his head so much during and after that time, that he was incapable of really feeling the sense of loss that hurts so deeply.
Diagnoses of ODD or conduct disorder are often precursors for ASPD diagnosis in adults...
It’s sad to watch videos like these sometime. I see a twinkle is some peoples eyes that show they have a talent they’re good at and would pay them a livable wage. But it’s sad when you come to the realization that most won’t ever get that opportunity and the small fraction of people that get it may not take full advantage.
Good videos Mark, always looking for the next.
losing a child is the worst pain i've ever felt. i genuinely feel empathy for this kid.. damn. i hope he can get his mental health addressed, he's intelligent but it's being put into all of the wrong things.. keep your head up bro, fuck that crystal.
Good comment. Crystal makes existing mental health issues worse.thnx
@Janice Blasingame wow, so much for you to carry alone.
I hope some days are better than others. I can't imagine your grief.
Xoxo Nashville Tennessee USA
Yes I lost my daughter from SIDs and I didn't go and do drugs and become a psycho...
I noticed how K started turning to a side while relating this experience to Mark. As if trying to hide the true deep pain, knowing his mistake in thinking every man for himself. He had that stuck look like it haunts him that HE didn't try to save them.😢
lol but the thing he regrets most about his life was not having a frigging guitar or something stupid! I honestly thought the first thing he would mention was losing his daughter or not saving her or at the very least putting her in that situation at all but she wasn't even mentioned in that question.
My son was diagnosed with ODD. It’s a real thing and it’s exactly how he described it
Hopefully your son don’t turn out like this guy
Seems like a menace to me 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: y'all saying he's so smart lol wtf are you watching
Lol i was thinking the same
He talks a lot of smack on subjects that those people are not familiar with. Therefore in their eyes he’s smart. They are the people that guys like this will steal from or try to get over on them any way he can
He def seems switched on and able to recall a lot of info that actually made a lot of sense for a dude on drugs
This guy is an intelligent young man, his ADHD and addiction is so hard for him, I wish him all the best.
He's pretty interesting as a human. Sort of exhausting which I can imagine he doesn't meet many people like himself and that probably feels isolating. Too bad all that brain power is geared towards self destructive and criminal behavior.
I can't watch the video all at once, I have to take him in bits, giving me some serious anxiety. I have to say, his "life mottos" are spot on. As much as he is all over the place, he has a clear thought process in some regards. He just reminds me of the worlds longest run-on sentence. I'm just waiting for a comma or a period to take a breath in between stories.
Some of his life mottos are good. Never give up and work hard regardless of what's in your way are really good and useful. Most of the things he says are very very stupid and inaccurate though. His way of thinking is very deluded, uneducated, and incorrect. It's interesting how he throws in some useful tidbits that make sense for successful people, while usually thinking like a complete failure for the most part. I hope he gets off drugs and tries to change himself into a more successful and better person. He's bound to be homeless forever if he doesn't change,and likely won't live very long at all.
Listening to this young man speak made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Very disturbed individual. No doubt if he wasn’t thrown out of the school for O threat tolerance…. he would have shot up the school! He was very specific on how he was going to do it and whoever he told, went to the authorities not once but twice thank goodness! He is a very angry individual , with very little to no emotion, whose face is expressionless when he speaks about doing whatever he has to do get what he wants….. He steals from people I assume that he perceives as having a harder time defending themselves like women or the elderly. Reading between the lines it is obvious that the Military did not want him. He’s a walking time bomb waiting to go off
100% Dangerous
@@mysticmama740 but whats more dangerous i find is..that people on here see him intelligent???? beautiful reality ..isnt it? this world is 100% up side down..time to turn it around...
As Tyrone addressed in his last SWU interview "Are you ready to die?" there's a spiritual hole or void present. To Tyrone's credit, he acknowledges his particular emptiness which addicts chose to fill with drugs. Once someone has turned their life over to serious drug addiction, there is a progressive lack of control within the addict's psyche. It's a Catch 22 situation wherein the drug of choice, especially meth & crystal, gives the user a sense of power & control. The drug addict then is in a state of constant craving & a desire to constantly fill the hole within them. Oftentimes they become callous & view other people as just objects to feed off of & use to their advantage as the drug user sinks farther & farther into their dark hole.
I agree he’s scary!
Yes I feel empathy for him but he seems quite dangerous. I feel like his soul has been consumed by darkness. Maybe it’s the meth, I know that stuff can turn people pretty dark. So awful!
Being dangerous is being unpredictable. This kid is a genius and has a mental flow that is amazing. Never stuttered once and expressed every emotion very articulate. He said exactly what he does and what he will do. That is a trained animal aka not dangerous but can be if blocked into a corner.
At least he’s being honest about himself he basically let it be known he doesn’t feel any remorse.. that’s a mental thing.. it just makes me so upset how back in the day they were really pushing adderall to little kids smh
If you told me I would listen to a crystal addict talk about string theory this AM, I'd call you a damn liar. SWUB never fails to surprise me!
😋🤣🤣
I was just about to say that...
If you can keep up with the thought pattern then ya might not need meth!
The issue is our understanding of drug addiction and the misplaced perception we hold about it.
There are a lot high functioning drug addicts working in high paying jobs but you wouldn't associate them with being addicts because of the perception and stereotypes we hold.
Then why watch?
@@fawnlaughlin4274 that's his point....he can't believe he is.
While his story sounds terrible. He seems to make excuses. Still sad his story but he definitely has growing to do. Best of luck.
I agree. I highly doubt that this individual was brought up with any boundaries and repercussions judging by several of his comments. The mentality that it's okay for him to steal/physically abuse another individual to obtain ownership of their item/s, yet complain and feel outraged that someone do the same thing to him, just shows that he's yet to grasp the basics of being a decent human being.
He’s mentally ill. Meth or no meth.
My nephew has ODD. I try but I honestly cannot stand to be around him and I’m terrified of what he will be like as an adult. He’s getting tons of help but I don’t think it’s working.
This is the kind of guy I'm always scared of running into in LA. I worked downtown and always took the train and bus to get around and these types of people always make it so treacherous...it didn't even seem like he had a tragic childhood to make him this way.
Literally
His biological dad was in prison a lot. Not a total excuse but a lack of father is huge
@@youcantcme2 not true Lmao
@@tayloraudrey1312 what do you mean he literally says his father was in and out of jail lmao
@@youcantcme2 that’s not an excuse for this behavior lol. There’s plenty of people out here without a father that are successful. He’s just a junkie fuxk up
Man.. I've been clean from ice for 1 year & 4 months... this just reminds me of how my mentality was then, hustle, hustle, hustle.. SO EXHAUSTING.
You can tell he has ADHD by the way he explains his education background. I have ADHD as well.
Congratulations on your clean time. That’s a huge accomplishment. Some times we need a little reminder of how it was to keep us from going back.
@@chrissparks3254 thank you! 🙂
@@amandajaydexo You’re very welcome.
Mark didn’t have to ask too many questions on this one, he just let dude keep going!
He’s so relatable. For one, he learned how to replace a starter using RUclips.
I fostered a boy for 14 years that had the same kind of personality, it was hell , I could never trust him , I finally had to save my other kids from him even though I loved him with all my heart ❤️ We found knives that had names of my kids strapped to them when he set our house on fire , I still love him today. He is now is jail for sexual assault to a minor . I will never have him around my family again to keep them safe but I will always have him in my heart and hope one day he will find peace in his heart , God bless him
Was he ever nice? It’s amazing that you still love him despite what he did, you’re a perfect mother.
Liberal women. You crack me up. Absolutely precious....
He on full throttle all the time. He’s pretty smart . Shame he was labelled ODD when he was young as now he simply believes that’s the way he is. I hope he can get well.
People on here describing him as some sort of evil person. The guy's grown up with oppositional defiance disorder and severe ADHD. The poor bloke was fighting a personal war before his life even got started.
This guy looks so much like a kid I went to middle school with, personality too. Seems like a really smart guy, he could pull it together n get his life on track. He’s not a lost cause yet, just needs to change his mindset and get into rehab. Hope to see a follow up with him
Oh wow I thought he looked like a kid I went to school with as well. I'm guessing it may be the classic bully look. Lol
That’s the thing about addicts/addictive personalities - they are ALL above average intelligence, and could change the world if they had just gotten better guidance. He seems extremely smart.
smart dude. kinda reminds me of my old best friend a little bit, once he finds a passion and replaces his addiction i can see him doing well for himself. anything is possible.
Wishing him the best
He choked out a minor multiple times.
Should be in jail for just this.
I dont see him do good in the future
@@Krulle37 we dont know that it was a minor...but either way its wrong...
he's not smart at all. "they told me I was hard headed" as if he's proud of it.
If this guy seems smart to you then…
I have an iPod. No I don’t. It’s a tablet.
I found a piano. No I didn’t. Keyboard
I have friends. No I don’t. I have associates.
You people judging this man in the comments really think that 9/10 people surviving on the street don't think the same way? Wake up
I’ve known guys like this. Hopefully he figures it out because the only thing I’ve seen work for these types is if they choose to do better themselves.
He has a lot of growing up to do. Wish the best for you man.
Man transitioned from ICP to string theory to religion.
If you ever come to Boston, I'd love to tell you and the world my story . Would be so hard but my biggest goal and dream is to use my story to maybe help others. One way or another I will use my struggles and history to help others. Even if I got through to one person, just one. Then I would know I accomplished what I set out to do. An opportunity like that is priceless. Much love and respect for what you do.
You still help others with your story! I would love to hear your story and I wish you the best!
Nashville Tennessee USA 🇺🇸 ♥
I love your name "Buttah Pecan"
Man, he has been through the most. Especially the loss of his baby, may he find healing. Mental health is seriously ignored the world over, I wish more could be done to help.
That dude never should have been a father in the first place. My god.
He lost his child in retaliation of something he had done to somebody else. Although he was in the house as well as his girlfriend he blames her for not grabbing the baby before she got out of the house. Again, blaming somebody else! Why couldn’t he grab the baby? He was there too… I hate to say it but if this baby had not died in this incident she would have died in another incident. I get the impression that a lot of people are out to get him because he doesn’t know how to keep his hands off people, shut his big mouth,and stay out of trouble
@@bthny7955 why would he ever change? Everyone else pays the price for His behavior. He thinks he's 'functionally' addicted.
It's about state policies ..where money is routed to
Mental health isnt ignored, its the ultimate victim complex. He hasn't been through the worst, and whatever he endures is self inflicted. People like you who make excuses need to mind your own business
This guy is going through life stealing and being on drugs.. drugs to live and live for drugs.. terrible
agreed, he's a waste on society
The fact they didn’t get their daughter out of an explosive house, that’s messed up. They came first over an innocent child.
@@RyanREAX It was probably a meth lab. Even a "drive by shooting" wouldn't cause the gas lines to explode.
@@doejon9424 yeah, it didn’t make sense to me either when he said drive by lol but either way they got their own daughter killed
@@RyanREAX it's also pretty fishy to me that *Nothing* about loosing his daughter was a regret. Obviously bad decisions led up to the house blowing up (drive by or meth lab)
Mark you ain’t talking to a man, you are talking to a demon. First time I felt
Physically sick listening to an interview, and I’ve listened to thousands over the last 10 years.
i think this is just a very emotionally disturbed person who hasnt ever been able to develop mentally cause he started hard drugs at 14
Exactly! My thoughts as soon as it came on! I felt spiritually agitated
I just made a comment saying, “the eyes are the window to the soul and his look like a demon”.
Right this mans energy is off all I see is a black aura and that is always bad news
@@Karla-wh2nh you just love sounding as dramatic as possible dont you.
Everyone yearns to be loved and cherished.
I’ve watched many of Mark’s interviews. But this is the first that was truly disturbing to get through. This man has such negative energy and is difficult to listen to.
yeahs he pretty unsettling but maybe were being too judgmental.
Meth is a dirty fucking drug it brings out the very worse of people. Anyone who's dopamine has been blasted to super human levels for days on end will become a primal shadow of themselves. I was actually happy I preferred heroin in the end cause I didn't want to get sucked in.
I always wish the interviews are longer . Bc they are so interesting. Including this one .
Ugh. This guy is my worst nightmare. :(
Don't even lie. You definitely want to date him. 😁
Obviously I feel for the guy but he has no sense of responsibility for his actions and consequences. The part about his daughter is horrifying, but I caught him even blaming his baby's mom for it - they were both home and both ran out to save themselves, but he said he doesn't know why she didn't grab their daughter. Why didn't HE grab his daughter?
Looks like somebody went into a lab and said "Let me make a real life version of Butthead".
Lmao bro 🤣 😂 💀 😭
He’s more like Beavis
The embodiment of menace, and he loves being “trouble” it’s what makes him unique in his mind. He loves attention even if it’s negative.
he’s very articulate and knows a lot of information, i learned a few things from this was very open minded to his words. he clearly has issues but there’s faith in him being great some day. i hope for the best for this young man.
A lot of people in these situations are incredibly smart, addiction doesn't have preference for stupid people vs intelligent people
@@ericbourgoin2792 he is extremely intelligent. Too bad his energies went astray and we’re not redirected into positive experiences.
most addicts are smart.. over think way too much and feel even more that’s why they do drugs
As scary as this kid is, I did find his theories of the various gods very interesting. Other than that, he seems very volatile and dangerous. It made me worry for Mark in case this one overstayed his welcome.
You guys have lived sheltered lives and should become agoraphobics if this guy scared you.
Same, for Mark. But you could tell he asked questions that showed genuine interest, which is all anyone needs.
Some of his theories sound interesting, but most sound whacked out and almost definitely not true. Still interesting to here a crystal meth addict ramble about that kind of stuff. A lot of them have all kinds of theories, it can be entertaining to hear.
Listening to this for several minutes hurt my brain and I can’t imagine how his feels - one minute he will succeed with what ever he puts his mind to and the next he didn’t make it in the military despite wanting to do it.
I don’t want to make blanket statements, but many meth addicts that I’ve met in my life are unbelievably talented. A lot of them with awful childhoods, trauma, and undiagnosed or untreated adhd. So many good people caught up in this lifestyle.
All my cousins are like this I grew up around exactly these kind of people. They’re unbelievably talented. One has a shit ton of first place handball trophy’s he was a golden glove lead trumpet player at my high school he’s sing like an angel a super colorful sense of humor etc… but he’s stuck on dope doesn’t like listening for shit he has extreme adhd. Last I heard he’s out in Lake Elsinore sucked up.
One of the few interviews that I've not felt some sort of connection with the subject. It's taken me over thirty years to string together the 15-plus years of sobriety that I'm currently blessed with. This young man glorifies too much of the bullshit that he is responsible for. I have a friend with a child with ODD, and though it is a very hard disorder to control/deal with, this young man has the knowledge of his condition and seems to use it as justification for his "fuck you I do what I want" mantra.
He’s not at all likable or trustable, but he is at best mildly interesting.
Bingo
Strange response, why respond ? His story, is slightly more than mildly interesting I think. How about yours slightly less so perhaps ?
After watching this makes me feel how blessed and grateful to be clean for 3 and half years!
Someone should have told him , don't give up drugs
Good one!🤣🤣🤣
It's sad, he has moments in his life that he says are fun, but it's just a defense. He's never gotten past the adolescent kid pushing buttons phase.
Yes. That " I'll do something just cos you told me I can't".., speaks volumes.
I don’t quite agree.
He has more maturity than most people, look at his most important lessons at the end. For his age 26 he is very mature and wise, he is extremely creative, he can’t even stay still he is so full of potential energy, so full of that sense of freedom. His essential energy is goodness and creativity, that’s what I see anyway. Life has created a shell for him, has hurt him, but his light shines still, a blazing light
@@cdunne1620 he can’t stay still because he is on drugs
@@nicolesawyer7117 exactly lol
@@cdunne1620 you sound like a psychopath.
Drugs are not a bad habit. It's closer related to a bad relationship than a habit. Addicts have a co-dependant relationship with what ever they are addicted to. If you can't understand and accept that then you are not ready to overcome your addictions yet.
Still qualifies as a bad habit, regardless of it being recognized as a bad relationship. Even the blind can see that it is a bad habit. By definition.
One of the fastest 30 minute videos you've out😂😂 grew up around so many people like this from kids to their parents. Thank God I never got addicted to drugs other then weed and alcohol. Best of luck!
All these people just need love and someone to lead them the right way. My heart goes out to everyone that is struggling like this. If you really look into each life of these people there is some fantastic people. I have met so many over the years in every life style and darkness. I love them all. Thanks Mark!
They should have had love from an early age ideally. Unfortunately for a lot of them the ship has sailed because childhood neglect has messed them up so much and that is really sad.
@@thesupergreenjudy agreed. Not going to be a popular view, but as you said, for some, the ship has sailed. There’s not much that can be done in this case. It’s sad. There’s no happy ending here. But maybe I’m wrong…I hope I am.
@@Vandetta333 yes sad. Brain damage and severe trauma unfortunately.
This guy is his own worst enemy. He had many that loved him or so it seems. They just have destructive personality. I knew a kid exactly like this dude . Luckily that kid got out of it when he grew up a bit.
Lol his mom showed him love his whole life . He needs prison and discipline
Mark have any of your interviewees ever got aggressive with you or tried to fight you?
If there was ever a time for an intervention this would be it. It may save someones life. If he doesn't get some help he'll be dead or in prison for a long time.
The transcript should be interesting to read. I hope K reviews the video and transcript so he can self evaluate his process of thinking.
Edit: With this economic collapse of nations, this is the go-to guy for survival. He'll know where to get the goods and how to build the network.
This guy never takes a breath!
"A man with a truck can always make money....we say that because a man with a truck can always make money".... profound
Kamala Harris came up with it
Mark, sometimes all you say is Hello and Thank you! Great talk.
Everyone’s saying how scary this guy is, I think his fucking hilarious 😂
I really hope K gets a follow up in the future; i have a feeling that he's coming off of tweaking from doing alot of meth. I've never used the stuff but he appears strung out and wound up. Would be nice to see him chat without sounding all revved up. The reason I hope he comes back is because South Carolina is a unique State and he has an interesting story.
I admire how u r able to let your interviewers take their armor off and expose from underneath all that their humane bits of soft tissue, or as u brilliantly say: their soft white underbelly.
Great job!
