    I don't understand why this interview is important. She already knows that her friend killed her mom. She's a healthy, well-balanced young lady who simply tells the cops about a normal friendship with her childhood friend. No JCS inspiration at all yet the thumbnail says the interrogator informs the girl that her friend is the killer. Am I wrong to expect honesty from a channel who explores truth and lies?

    Nobody was going to predict that frenzied murder. Powell was far from being the first to find that university was too hard or that she was being left behind by her friends who seemingly had their lives moving smoothly. It’s not easy. Her friends seem to truly have been caring and concerned and her relationship with her mom was also apparently close. Perhaps her inner voice was a lot harder on herself and she anticipated that others felt the same deep down. Whatever she felt, she kept the real darkness and anger well hidden. Until she didn’t and her mom became her victim. Sad stuff. Resilience is something that needs greater focus, not the ‘everyone wins’ mentality taught. Reality is, we fail and need to know how to face that and overcome it.

    • @raphaellavictoria01

      So true! So very true. I haven't seen any videos of the actual murderous girl, but knowing about narcissism, that's my trusty hammer and everything looks like a nail, as the saying goes. With that in mind, I know that when someone is narcissistic enough, a narcissistic injury can trigger a murderous rage. They cannot deal with failure. When they are inescapably confronted with reality, rage is the response.
      Also, given that her best friend was doing well in school and doing other things and cheerleading etc, this no doubt made Sydney Powell feel even worse in comparison, especially if she was a covert narcissist.

      Wow! She seemed shallow and almost emotionless to me. Weirdly sanguine and upbeat for someone whose lifetime bestie just killed her mom. Even allowing that her giggling is really probably an expression of anxiety. I had expected things like, “I don’t know how I could have missed she was in such serious trouble,” or “I wished I had told the counselling service about her.” Or even, “I wish I’d thought about why someone would open three or four social media accounts but never post anything. Maybe I should have sent her some pics from our nights out to put up…”

    The family knew a lot less about Sydney's inner life than they say; in the interview of Dad, he spoke several times about how she didn't tell her parents anything. In fact, she didn't even tell her mom she got her period. This puts the lie on the family's view that Sydney and her mom were "best friends".

      Yeah if you get sick and start vomiting from drinking too much that is a well. They didn't really emphasize this stuff in high-school. I vaguely recall one quick class about how much a serving of alcohol was for liquor vs beer and wine. I had heard something about it being a depressant, but I didn't understand that bit because I thought I feel great when I'm "buzzed" not depressed! Lol it's the next few days that the depressive bit takes effect. The pressure and culture around school, career planning, getting good grades, fitting in, and drinking alcohol in the US are kind of crazy. It'd be cool if they taught us a few emotional regulation skills, interpersonal skills, mindfulness meditation, as well as just life planning... like I can't imagine how Sydney was probably feeling: I have all of this college debt, I don't know what career I want to do and can be good at, I've failed my family and myself... she probably felt her while life was ruined and over. I knew another young woman in college who was struggling so much with anxiety, she'd been c*tting and even had a jerk working at a psych unit tell her she'd never get a good man with those scars, and received a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. At the time no one in this city was teaching DBT and I'd barely just heard of it. She was really afraid that she was going to fail and become homeless and she was not really getting the help that she needed. Psych meds often don't work for BPD mood regulation and they need help learning the dbt skills. Even if that just means giving them a few good books to read on it.

      Tbh - making no excuse for what she did - my heart broke for the girl whose life was bombing (in debt without a degree to pay it off, already bombed out of school, squatting in a dorm room pretending to still be a student, looking at a situation which people that age think of as no-future) and she tries confiding in her oldest best friend only to get, “Yah, do what makes ya happy!”

    This is just a very odd interview. I don't think this girl had any idea what her friend was capable of, but this girl seemed like she was having way too much fun being included in this mess. From the first moments with greeting the detectives, from smiling and laughing when describing how she was the one that got to "break the news" of the suspect's bf cheating on her.

    • @eh1702
      @eh1702 6 месяцев назад +4

      People are actually saying she is “well balanced” and “well adjusted”. I took the giggling at first to be just immaturity - it is so typical of tween and early teen kids to giggle when uncomfortable. But her demeanour is so chirpy all the way through is very disconcerting. Especially when she unselfconsciously relates how they told this desperate, in-debt, career-blanked (actually now homeless & squatting) girl, “Yah, do what makes ya happy!” I thought that was just puerile superficiality. But then how merrily she relates being dumped by the boyfriend (where she agreed to be a go between delivering the bad news).

    Sydney sounds like one of those people who just can't handle not being "perfect". Especially in colleges, I saw 3 people when I was in student/family housing that committed suicide and they were in their graduate and PhD programs! They just cannot handle failure. Although nothing is a failure but a learning opportunity! Why she attacked her Mom though? There seems to be more to that family than 'happy shiny people'! Normal people don't do that imho. I do hope she gets psychological help.
    Also her 'best' friend is very fake to me she doesn't seem close to Sydney at all by the way she talking. Weird.

      She does a lot of subtle undercutting of her friend. Or not so subtle sometimes, when her tone descends into a gossip-girl lilt. No compassion whatever in catching her “transcript” lie. Or recounting how she was dumped by her boyfriend at New Year - even now she knows she had been expelled at Xmas.

    “There was nothing about Powell’s relationships to suggest she would ever resort to violence.” Except that she went to great lengths to conceal from everyone that she had bombed out, that she had two years of debt but no prospect of a degree to pay it off, that she had no real support system in place, no place to live and “no future” any more. She’d painted herself into a serious life-crisis corner: storing up a massive shock for her parents, whose reaction would naturally include some anger at being deceived for so long. In a family that apparently did not “do” conflict.
    There is a question about how several Buddhist countries, where conflict and violence is a huge taboo, have flipped at times into periods of very extreme, nationwide interpersonal violence. The hypothesis is, if you don’t have systems and customs for expressing and handling small scale or low-level conflicts, if you just suppress and avoid acknowledging them - you don’t learn restraint or de-escalation when there’s a conflict you cannot avoid.

      They knew she was failing badly, in debt for two years of college, but her friend is just self-congratulating that she caught her in a lie (about her transcript) rather than concerned that she felt she had to lie about it to her longtime bestie. STILL naive enough, or just too self-absorbed, to believe she had told her parents she was failing. Their tween-level advice? “Yah, do what makes ya happy!” This giggling ninny as we see her is at least 20 years old!

    Nice girl being interviewed but I feel she is too casual. We all deal with trauma or whatever many different ways. I can only hope she isn't so vapid that she doesn't grasp the fact that her best friend just killed the mother by stabbing in her throat repeatedly. She comes across to me as one who will live off the attention she gets from this as long as she can, then hold court with groups of girls to talk about it even more.
    Sydney was a mess and she felt like there wasn't anyone she would talk to, no this is not an excuse of any kind. A she lied about her situation, manipulated everyone to cover it up, plus being stuck at college, which face it, isn't for everyone, maybe she tried to live the life of a perfect daughter, and she obviously failed.
    I find it funny that comments are saying that this friend had a good attitude. Seriously? She is in a police station with 2 officers, being interrogated and she is chatting like the conversation is about her favorite pizza. This girl did not know her friend. Soon as they hit college, it was over.

  • @eh1702

    Anyone get a feeling that she was maybe pushed beyond her intellectual capabilities &/or her level of maturity? One of those who did OK in the highly structured high-school environment - the compliant type whose parents are overseeing her homework, who can always get more time, or a do-over, or opportunity to do an extra-credit item?
    At university she suddenly has to organise everything herself. She picks what seems an easy-option course - but one she’s not suited to. She changes, but to *more* demanding subjects. The detectives picked up that her relationships were at one remove, through this old friend. She tries confiding her troubles and gets back anodyne formulas, “do what makes you happy”, from girls who are not mature enough to perceive her dilemma or her declining mental health. Had she told her parents any of this, or was it a bombshell to her mother?
    Was she maybe “withdrawn” by the university by the Christmas vacation? Was her return in January a charade? No books for her classes. Her name not on the door. Maybe she wasn’t going to classes because there were none. Was she effectively squatting?
    At community college, learning to her own capacity at her own pace, living at home with Mom, I wonder if she might have come out fully cooked and done OK.

    My daughter left school because she started to bomb her classes. She came into my room crying during Christmas break and was straight up with me. She was 6th in her class in high school, made good grades, a cheerleader, and was all around a good student. I told her college was different and she wasnt prepared for it. She joined a soritity right off the bat when i told her not to, at leaat not her first year. That took up a lot of her time plus she was working so she barely had time to study. She was stressed to the max and felt she wasnt in the right field. I told her juat take a semester off so shes home now. I told her spend this time thinking about what she wants to go to school for bc it is her life. She was worried i was going to be mad but i knew she was struggling. I didnt get mad or lecture. We have a good relationship and i couldnt imagine her losing it like Sydney did. She moved back home is starting a job in like a week and will have to attend summer classes to be eligible for the college up the road. She had decided to go to a school an hr away and live with her aunt. That didnt work. The job she had kept scheduling her during classes even saying this jobs more important to which she said making coffee isnt more important than my education. So she quit which stressed her out more bc she had to call me asking for money. I have limited income bc im out due to a back injury.
    I think high schools could explain how college really is. As parents we tell them but they only half listen to us. I feel bringing in college freshmen to tell students what its really like may be a good idea. Tell them the stress, studying, campus life, etc instead of sugar coating everything would be a good idea. Even bring in ones who went to university and decided trade school was better isnt a bad thing either. Show them there are other choices besides a life time of debt for a career yoy may not get. Like my sister who went in for forensics only to fund out after the fact she had to do a lot more before she could even use that degree.
