"That's not being crazy, that's just being bad at acting." BRUH got roasted 🔥
I worked for a public defender for 7 years. It’s much easier for an insane person to act normal than a normal person to act insane. We had a lot of clients who were inpatient at the St. Peter hospital in MN. Once people are committed they don’t get out unless they go to prison after they are deemed competent.
bruce rivers hes the criminal lawyer
Excellent point. Very interesting ty
Can confirm the food is better. I had no insurance growing up. When I was 16, I became suicidal (major life crisis while dealing with abusive family) and requested to go to a psychiatric hospital due to concerns over my thoughts.
I ended up in an overcrowded state hospital where 30 of the 32 people on my ward were juveniles who had been committed for violent tendencies.
Every single thing about this place was a nightmare. Except for the food, which was surprisingly on par with my mothers cooking. Turned out, their cooking crew all had culinary arts degrees.
Respect
Hospital food is usually delicious

He probably felt bad for the criminal.
"Stop calling me sir."
"Yes sir."
For me, this older detective’s interrogation of Cruz is masterly. He is gentle but firm and will not tolerate any BS at all. He cuts right through Cruz’s nonsense by patient, almost avuncular questioning, remaining calm throughout and just ignoring the “crazy talk.” This kid was never going to pull the wool over the eyes of this experienced detective.
"He's a nice guy"

Quick note of thanks for a professional use of the word "avuncular." It's always nice to see that word in the wild like this.

Yeah I was like wtf? Then I remembered he's a criminal lawyer so I'm assuming he defends criminals. Those lawyers usually don't get along with cops. Like Saul's banter with cops in Breaking Bad.
@@thomasmacgruber6701 And what does that have to do with his body size?
@@DeathnoteBB it just means he doesn't like cops. But fr he didn't need to go at him like that though
JCS usually skips over the repetitive details like reading the rights. As it is something that is expected. I fully believe that there would be intention called if it were flat out skipped
I think they had some videos where they highlight some cases of rights not being read or manipulated. If the usual procedure occurs in the footage it's not mentioned, but I think they docall it out if it's not been mentioned.
JCS is the king
See my comment.
@@ThirteenAmp JCS is king🤴🏻👌🏻
Also, that's not usually something they wait until the interrogation room to do. If youre gonna be arrested for idk lets say...shooting up a school and killing 16 people (idk just thought of that off the top of my dome) they gonna read your rights AS they put the cuffs on
I will never forget the Parkland defense lawyer laughing with him and “subtly” flicking off everyone else in court.
I'll never forget her being dragged for it either.
Ha. I loved that
Not gonna lie. The honesty of the clinically insane guy is refreshing. The easiest interrogation ever.
Well yeah. He's fearless and not in the good way. It's actually depressing when you think about it. He had no self-preservation whatsoever and was fine with the death sentence. That's the real sadness in criminal cases. No boohoo stories or excuses just lacking the human condition.
Dude did a speed run on his interrogation
I wonder what the "sir" is for at the end of everything Gerard Murray(?) says. Is it subservience as in "I'm complying, don't hurt me" or "I'm a good respectful boy. You can't seriously believe I would do this"? Neither of these seem to fit. Maybe just "We're on the same team and I recognise your authority"? But EVERY sentence. It's very noticeable. It's some kind of choice for sure.
@@dionlindsay2he seems to accept the cops authority, purely neutrally. he addresses him how he thinks the cop would like to be addressed, or how he thinks he should address a cop in the legal system.
Sounds right to me 🙂@@salamantics
I’ve worked with A LOT of suicidal people directly in my profession. I have never once seen them externalise their want for ending it by pretending to shoot themselves like that. In the agitated type, they will be looking everywhere in the room to actually find something that will actually harm them. They will try to do actual harm to themselves. Not light scratching. And will be looking to get out of their restraints too. In my experience, there are 2 types of suicidal patients. Some outliers exist, but he is not one. He fell into none of those categories. He evaded detection. He had every chance to actually do that before if he wanted to. His affect changed too much. He wrote himself off to a psych professional within 2 minutes.
See my comments. Perhaps you'd like to field the questions yourself.
@Chuck Jones what part of their comment would give that impression
as someone who used to be a suicidal people, watching him pretending to be suicidal is honestly so funny. knowing what suicidality looks and feels like, i can't help but laugh at his awful acting
As someone with chronic depression, who used to actually be suicidal, it's easy to fake being "normal". When you live like that everyday, the mask becomes second nature. What's difficult is going the other way and expressing it. We tend to internalize those feelings so much that just talking about it becomes difficult, much less miming for the camera. The first time I really opened up about what I was going through I ended up silently crying for hours afterward, just completely spaced out and exhausted.
And honestly? If he were suicidal, he wouldn't have even been able to have a gun in his hands without using it on himself. I sure wouldn't have. When you want to die, you find a way to make it happen, you don't pussyfoot around. And a gun is damn convinient, super quick and no suffering if you do it right. I would have killed (ha) for a gun when I was in that headspace.
Thank you for working with suicidal patients in any capacity. I've been there more than I'd care to admit.
I must admit, even though I don't know the second type, I feel as though I'm an outlier myself based on my past behavior.
Also, I haven't even watched the video or the channel, I just ran down to the comments section, haha.
24:20 “what happened” “shut up” 😂😂
😂😂😂
Lmao that cracked me up
@@marissaaraceli8254 👍
I lived in Broward after the shooting and people said the cops became a lot friendlier but a lot more high-alert since this happened. The conventional thing to say to a BSO if you get stopped for smoking weed is "You sat outside for 14 minutes while my friends were massacred, fuck right off". They're tryna do better now, only really hunting violent criminals
Perfect response.
Surprised how accurate this is. I’ve assessed patients that were committed to state hospitals for a form of monitored release in CA. One patient would’ve done 2 years in prison but took an insanity plea. He was committed for 14 years (because he wouldn’t stop breaking rules in the hospital)
Yeah I have known shit like that over here in England buddy, a mate of mine went to jail and he couldn’t cope so he got himself put onto the hospital wing and then he started anti-psychotic drugs, he went to court and got a result so every time he got into trouble he played up and he got put inside a state institution and he was given his injection at night then a little while later, a student nurse came on duty and gave him another injection and he was found on the toilet, it’s a terrible story really, although it was total negligence on behalf of the system his family didn’t receive a single penny because, his sister told me that there had to be, so many micrograms or whatever it is, that has to be in his bloodstream and it only showed up so many but not enough for negligence to proven I think it’s disgusting to be totally honest with you, okay he should of said that he had had the night injection a bit earlier maybe but, it should’ve been documented by the nurse that gave him his injection a little bit earlier and the student nurse should’ve never gave him his injection without checking his papers at the end of the bed, gross negligence by the system as usual.
It's not Canada. In Canada they released Vince Li. The Greyhound incident guy in like 3 years. I won't go in to what he did as it's too sickening even to post.
@@loganw6156 People learn to fake being normal to get out of mental health institutions much more and much better than they fake mental illness to get in. In my experience I have seen people come out of the hospital that are still a danger to themselves or others, but of course they learned to stop telling the doctors that and learned to "fake" or pass well enough for healthy while I can sit in a room with them for 10 min and I see their eyes dart to the corners or the door when no one is there and I can tell they are still hallucinating and/or psychotic. It's a horrific pain to find them another hospital bed again. Sometimes I want to ask staff "Are you blind? How could you not tell this person is still not in touch with reality? TRY to TALK to them!". Many learn to read certain staff and staff need to be on their game however and so many places are understaffed and many staff work very long shifts (over 40 hrs) and can't give the proper focus the job requires. It's a horrific system in the US. We also have no way to prevent crime even when we know someone is dangerous to others as almost nowhere will take people who are a danger to others for mental illness other than prisons, which doesn't actually fix the problem. Even long term hospital facilities won't take people who are true dangers to others BEFORE a crime is committed when we have proof of significant plans to harm others. It sucks.
@@loganw6156 Same with Jeffery Arenberg, he killed sportscaster, Brian Smith, aka,Smitty in 1995. He was released also, he got re-admitted to the Psychiatric Prison in Penetanguishene, Ontario, shortly after his release, for a breach of his conditions, then died in the Prison in 2017.

@@z54964380 well i feel like hes attempting to come off that way... but hes just scared, confused & has been bullied alot so to me it seems like he puts up shields & what not, now it doesnt justify what he did... but i feel like he puts this front on because he A. is weak B. thinks that is what shows strength C. watches to many movies & thinks thats how ONE should act its just truly sad that this kid got lost within his thoughts & truly believed that THIS event would cement him as "something" but sadly he doesnt realize that everything he has been trying to project is not only insane ( not like insane in the same of "crazy" ) but insane in the sense of how would he think that this was good for future but sadly he lost hes family n was staying with a loving family so not only did it drive him insane that he lost his family, but also that others have loving familys... truly a sad case & alot of people should have seen the clear signs of distress..... also the family he was staying with LET him use the firearms n told him where they were n the combo to the safe... i still personally feel like they should be charged with something aswell because as a gun owner you are suppose to be responsible... & everything they did allowed this monster EASY access to said firearms or maybe im getting that confused BUT he did own firearms that the family had the keys to the safe ( which they thought they had the only key ) but yeah so many red flags ignored with him, also HOW did he get all this money to purchase as many firearms as he did... & ammo, the real thing about gun reform, is you dont even need to ban guns or take away certain things etc or even gun registry... i feel like a few simple things could tackle alot of issues maybe not all of them, but would atlest put up some road blocks... now for starters, each month the gun stores need to have a list of how many firearms were sold, what types, how many to each person, how often said persons came in & bought weapons along with ammo, if tons & tons of purchases are happening in a fast manner guns or ammo & in large quantity's that needs to be looked at, now not saying they go n harass said person but like the FBI can check to see, do they have a Facebook, Instagram or other social medias or youtube channels etc & check them out, have they made threats, hell even check discord, & its as simple as checking do they have a internet provider or live within a home that does, & you can check the searches & sites visited coming from said house, now if HUGE red flags stand out NOW they can make a visit to said house & start asking some questions on to why all the said red flags are happening if the answers seen good, then move on BUT keep them on a list to watch over JUST in case they flip out one day. There are legit SOOO many options of things we can do that dont violate the 2nd amendment but also helps to start limiting these horrible events... i think almost like 92% of mass shootings within the past 25 years have all had CLEAR signs that could have atlest been mitigated or even prevented... but man sorry for the book length response xD

It was in the report so it's not JCS that was reaching there.
@@neutronstar6739 The report is written up by the police officers that does not mean it actually happened they’re going based on what they believe the see as well
@@iBarkBite While that is true, I think that Neutron Star was just saying it was the officers who wrote the report that were reaching, not JCS.
@@iBarkBite I think trained police officers and mental health experts know a bit more about manerisms than you. If it is in the report it is most likely true, they dont just add assumptions for the sake of it.
I spent 3 days at a juvenile mental health complex for suicidal tendencies as a teen. In reality I had never seriously considered killing myself, I was always way too scared to and I cared too much about my life, I was just trying to manipulate my parents into ungrounding me. Well regardless the police came and they took me to the place, but after a few days there they sent me home. They could just tell I wasn’t suicidal at all, mostly because I enjoyed my time there. For me it was a vacation from school since it was in the middle of the week, and I actually liked a lot of the kids there. Was a little awkward during the discussion periods where the kids would talk about harming themselves, punching walls, etc. and meanwhile I had never so much as harmed a fly, but meh I thought it was pretty worth it. Additionally they would ask everyone every morning whether they had thought about killing themselves the day before, and I always said no bc I was just being honest. My mom was both relieved and super pissed off when she came to pick me up. Moral of the story: even if u can fool ur inner circle and even the police in my case, ur not going to keep the charade up once u get there. It’s too exhausting, u will break eventually. These ppl who commit serious crimes know they fucked up, and they deserve no amount of sympathy, but I always prefer when they own their shit and live with it. These mfs who try to dodge it are the scum of the earth, complete wastes of space
I actually liked everything you said, especially the part about your mom being pissed because she found out you were lieing with something very serious 😂😂😂 but good you learned quickly that lying for something so stupid was not worth trying to live a life of lies, just to avoid consequences 🙏🏾
Grippy sock vacation
Your story is rather sweet actually and I’m so very pleased you do want to live. We need ppl like you with us. 🫶✨
I worked in a state mental hospital. Some long term (10 year +) patients were there because they were found not guilty by reason of insanity. A Psychiatrist would have to declare them “safe” to release. Had they just been found guilty, they would have served 3 to 6 years and been freed.
Ableist people always think they get pity points, but being mentally ill is not a joke. Thank you for pointing this out.

“Demons man, voices” as a schizophrenic an acknowledgment of knowing the source is external voices while experiencing it is weird. I can only tell in retrospect. Like if I reflect on yesterday I might notice but during no. If during you notice you then can make semi logical decisions.
Unfortunately it's people like that that give mental illness a bad name. He probably learned that while institutionalized as a kid from other manipulative kids who used that as an excuse for their behaviors
@Vincent Kinney lol you should look in a mirror
@Vincent Kinney so your saying diabetes and other medical diseases shouldn’t have a bad name?
Vincent Kinney were you trying to say it’s bad as in the terror it causes to the sufferer? Or as in the behaviors inflicted onto others while in a terrified state?
@Vincent Kinney I understand what you’re saying here and I don’t disagree, I just wanted to say I think Brad was referring to the stigma around mental health, (by saying it has a “bad name”) specifically in America, the mentally ill are treated quite poorly.
JCS is the BEST! It's unfortunate RUclips has censored and removed 90% of his videos. It was very informative, great storytelling, pacing, and execution. All ruined because of the algorithm bot and YT's direction to cater towards advertiser friendly viewership.
Afair, most of his videos are back up- and he posted a new one a week or so ago 😊
YT wants to protect its "community"...its community of advertisers (ranging from scam apps / false gurus / Ponzi schemes to evil governments / NGOs and multi billion dollar corporations selling junk food / alcohol / bad cars...) Wholesome filth.
@@kristelbrok998 Sadly, a lot of them seem to have significant amount of content removed. I noticed the Lazarus video has about half of the original video removed, including the part where the context behind the crime is discussed.

Do you think that Real Life Mental Illness looks like some anime or? He's clearly copying shit he saw on TV in a pre rehearsed manner if you watch him closely enough,he's also not going for a specific mental illness so it looks morelike he saw one too many gang weed memes than he is truly insane.
@Hollow furry take
"that cop hasn't missed a whole lot of lunches." Bruce I am dying here 😂 😂
One thing I've noticed during the Jared Murray interview is when the detective asks him "What do you think should happen to you?" Jared replied "Death sentence sir." You can hear in his voice some emotion. He reluctantly answers and knows that this could be the case.
Didn't notice that at first, but you're right, his voice cracks a bit while he's saying it. He knows he just threw his life away, and he's probably thinking death is his best option. Still doesn't make it any easier to summon your own death. Even for an "emotionless" killer.
There's also a long pause before he says "because I was planning to take him out into the country and kill him", like he's reluctant to say it. He also seems to be playing with his hands a bit under the desk - nerves?
What you heard was relief. He wasn't afraid or scared. He knew what he did when he did it. He also knew what the consequences were. He just doesn't care.
@@sozeytozeyHe been knew he “threw his life away.” it wasn't a recognition.

God, imagine how utterly horrifying it would be to learn that not only has your sibling been brutally murdered, but that the killer was talking to you so casually all while you're completely unaware. That's heart-wrenching and so sick...
If I recall correctly, the sister wasn't actually killed, just shot and in critical condition for some time after. I believe she survived eventually recovered to some degree, though.
Legit. Poor kid
His sister was seriously wounded but ended up surviving. She testified against the shooter in court.
@@SarelleSirius oh man thats great to hear, that would be horrifying to experience altogether

If you pretend to be crazy to get into a psychiatric hospital, it’s a really bad place for you.
Just stumbled up on this. As a retired PSRB nurse I find your commentary right on.
Psrb? Public school right button?
I’ve witnessed and experienced psychosis from mental health several times and I don’t think I could fake an episode. My personality really doesn’t change my perception and understanding of what is going on around me does. Natural “mind wandering” is hard to fake.
Same & with all the losers that pretends to be crazy makes us look like we’re faking it….
@@rydoyt1483 it doesn’t make you look like you are faking it, even to the most inexperienced eye there is a very clear differences.
Faking psychosis is extremely difficult, even world class actors make slip ups
100% agree on this. Ive never personally experienced psychosis but i believe my boyfriend had a three day episode of it after getting a concussion from Hitting his head on a door knob, if i had recognized he got one i would have immediately taken him to the hospital. He hallucinationed people, didnt go to work, and didnt recognize not doing tasks, like ex. His dad is his employer and he was calling when i came in realizing hed not gone to work. I said "why aren't you at work? Your dad is calling you"
He didn't even look at me and said "i know i already talked to him" i later confirmed he had not with his dad because he didn't seem coherent and id honestly thought he was drunk. He kept thinking ppl were at the door. And at one point began walking around with his emergency pistol. I was terrified but luckily that was the whole of the situation. He says he doesnt remember any of it at all, and i think youd have to be an incredible actor to play off true psychosis
I was diagnosed with psychosis 2 years ago and can confirm its very difficult to fake it. One always remains alert and has constant feeling of anxiety/unrest. Auditory hallucinations are also a part of it. And I always felt like people are trying to get me or someone is trying to contact me. So an actor really has to portray constant anxiety,fear,unrest and also alertness at the same time which is really difficult and would be mentally tiring.
Don’t you love it when they ask if you are seeing and hearing things that aren’t there. I’m like - I don’t know? Maybe I’m worse off - but I end up not able to discern real from fake. The night they admitted me - I spent about 24 hours believing the mental facility was actually a rave and every person was wearing undershirt tanks and black lights and music. 2 years later - discovered 2mg Ativan puts me out of my mind. They drugged me up to transfer me to the hospital and in the first night I escaped a secure area, climbed a 6ft cabinet and fell off and crawled down a whole hallway and called 911 for help and had a seizure. That bought me a private room in a unit with only 7 patients. Worst rave ever. (Never been to a rave) also worst hospital. Crazy looks all kind of different - even with the same patient.
Love his comments on the guy who actually was crazy: "His answers are super-intelligent in the sense that there is nothing to argue with about his answers".
I'm starting to really enjoy this channel, how he does not mind not always being formal like many other lawyer/court youtubers, bordering on political incorrectness. All of it is very entertaining and hilarious.
Hello ! I like your videos a lot, great glimpse into the USA justice system. I like the way you present the cases, no nonsense, funny, down to earth, no frill.
If I can make a suggestion : would you consider placing the miniature videos on the upleft corner rather than on the downleft corner ? That would enable those of us who need to turn the subtitles on, to do so without hiding the miniature video completely.
Thank you !

"better bologna sandwiches" I am not sure why I found that funny, but I did
😹
lol
Me too.
This made me realize I am AWFUL at noticing the difference between horrible acting and true insanity
As someone who is mentally ill, most people are. So many people fall through the cracks or just never get help because we “seem fine”. If we’re not an over-exaggerated stereotype, we can’t possibly be “crazy”. People like the faker in the beginning assume ableist horror movies are what mentally disabled and mentally ill people are like.
It’s funny cause some things are almost true, like the hand fidgeting. Autistic people do it a lot, and are bad at making eye contact. I assume the first guy is attempting to emulate autistic stereotypes, which is funny cause autism isn’t even a mental illness.
We can’t all be good at things
Fr? I thought it was pretty easy to tell bc he’s being so obvious about it bc he was over-explaining everything and no suicidal person points finger guns at themselves like that and if he was actually suicidal he would’ve killed himself when he had the chance, he would’ve tried getting out of the restraints and would’ve actually made himself bleed from biting/scratching, imo he was god awful at acting crazy
@@mlgfin If he was actually suicidal, he would've done the world a favor and painted the walls with what little brains he had. The Columbine shooters shot themselves, Elliot Rodger shot himself, the Vegas shooter shot himself, etc etc etc.
Good luck in life then lmfao
One of my favorite things about this channel is your precise use of words. You're really good with language and nuance.
I love the detective assigned to Cruz. He has a nice balance of push and pull; coaxing logical statements/answers from subject.
2:00 "right there... stabbing someone is a crime"
Me: wow this man really is a professional
Thats not what the man said and he actually made a pretty good point. Retribution is a sign that the person had purpose to kill and therefore something not found in the criminally insane. Which further concludes that he is not insane.

"demons man, voices,demons" this is a good intro for a death/black metal song
Even though it isn't necessary to get a motive for the murder(s), wouldn't it be better to get one for the prosecutor so they can prove their guilt to the jury?
Yes. I'm not a lawyer but I believe it not only helps prove them as being physically guilty but it also shows that they had Mens Rea, which is to say they had criminal intent, which I believe is very important for cases but especially so in ones where they try to fake mental illnesses
It absolutely helps Bruce is right They don't need a motive however establishing a motive can be used while cross-examining him if he chose to testify which would be stupid but it can also be used in an opening or closing statement establishing a reason for the crime
Police are trained to get a confession and a motive

He's dope. Welcome to the family 👪
Can’t wait for the reacts on the self snitching 🤣🤣🤣
I think what people need to understand is that “insanity” isn’t a mental health diagnosis. It is a legal definition, and a very flawed one at that. 1) it is very open to manipulation and 2) it can often leave out people who do have mental health issues.
A Schizophrenic person might have an understanding that murder is against the law. They might understand that police officers will arrest them for the crime. But they can have some other delusion that overrides their fear of consequence. They might even try to hide the crime because they know that murder is illegal.
If a made up person believed the person they killed was a demon who was going to kill them, but they also believed that the victim’s status as a demon was unknown, so the police would arrest them. Is this person legally insane? Probably not. They knew the crime was illegal and even tried to hide the body. But are the actually culpable for a murder? My opinion is probably not. They have a severe mental delusion
This country needs to have a very serious talk about mental health and the law.
Can you explain what the legal definition is? Because I’ve always understood it to be someone who is incapable of clearly seeing right from wrong.
You have explained quite well how for example schizophrenic patients might have delusions leading them to consciously violate the law. I think that you’re describing the same thing differently, unless I’m totally mistaken.
If they think it’s the right thing to do, it doesn’t really matter that they still knew it was illegal. They couldn’t tell right from wrong because of their mental illness right?
(Not arguing at all I know very little about this, genuinely just asking)
The country was outraged when Hinckley was found not guilty of shooting Reagan and killing a federal officer and shooting another. After that there was a big shift in criminal mental health issues.
@@keircampbell9374 if you know you broke the law/understand there's consequences then you're sane.
We're always having those conversations. And if a schizophrenic person murders someone while having an episode they'll generally walk. To be found not mentally sane at the time of the crime the person has to be unaware of what they were doing, or what they were doing was wrong.
Interesting comment. Would you care to share your thoughts on Darrell Brooks? Is he or not mentally ill?
I'm glad that you said something about the 4 seconds of footage, and what the narrator claimed they could deduce from that 4 sec of footage. I didn't see all that either
When you mentioned intelligence being frequently associated with many deemed mentally incompetent, I immediately thought of Matthew Harris. His extremely high level of education coupled with his 803 page manifesto and his videos…WOW. It will be interesting to see what shakes out with his case!
Yeah the streets needa part two of this blicky Bruce

You should react to more interrogations, it's crazy how many people volunteer information to the police.
It’s a different form of natural selection.
Your name is my name too!
@@Arsenik17 do people also always shout at you?
@@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi3713 Yes, they do it whenever I go out.
One big one that I always see from watching Mr ballen stories are people who are very tight lip to the police but then will immediately spill everything and brag about what they did to their cellmate. There was one Vancouver guy who for about 20 years was butchering people on his pig farm and then just decided to spill the beans to a cellmate. same with a guy who killed a woman and stole her shoes like 30 years ago and did such a good job of hiding it that it was a famous Cold Case that was never solved and immediately upon the Cold Case reopening and him being put in jail for questioning he also admitted everything to his cellmate
Its so scary that there are actually people out there that will kill you just because, and feel nothing about it whatsoever.
5:12 😂 the cop is deflecting it right back at him! "Well if you would really like one; would you really really really like one [along with a yummy ice cream 🍦 cone?]
30:01 LMAO savage mode outta nowhere
Just ended this mans whole career out of the blue!
@@bossplaysit8483 bars
He ain’t even need to do that 🤣
He cold 🥶
Not my mans curssio
That intro alone makes him the coolest lawyer ever. Full stop.
Thank you Bruce Rivers for providing another video for us. I know it takes a lot of analysis time with editing videos and coming up with Contin. I appreciate your work. Sending you your son and your family my very best from Pennsylvania USA
I love your channel! You’re absolutely down to earth and so on point! You bring humor and next level intelligence/professionalism. So glad I found you!
The first guy totally watched Primal Fear and thought since it worked in the movie it will work in real life, he totally copied Ed Norton's characters in Primal Fear and The Score
I thought the stuttering and the hand movements were more like Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys. But either way, dude came across as a wannabe actor doing crazy as opposed to actually mentally ill.
Oh my god, I love your commentary. Something about watching a professional attorney calling someone a prick is a genre of entertainment I didn't know I've been missing out on till now XD
You've obviously never worked with lawyers 🤣🤣
I do love that he's not afraid to curse and call people assholes while dishing out real lawyer knowledge
@@mangos2888. Why would anyone want to work with lawyers?
@@Kunfucious577 just self snitch with the police instead. Sounds like a better idea to me.
What's it matter that he's an attorney and called someone a prick?
As a Med student who has worked in a psych hospital, it’s funny seeing the discrepancy of how very mentally ill people present vs how people think they are. The most ill patient I had (cut off his own hands as sacrifice) spoke normally, moved normally, acted normally. What wasn’t normal was his thought process, and lack of understanding of consequences and what is real or not. Even having worked with him for so long, there’s no way to fake how he presented as you would have to fight every reasonable thought ever and to speak like him. So people like this criminal need to stop trying 😂😂😂
I absolutely love this channel and your attitude! Ty for reacting to these videos.
Blicky Bruce X Jim Can’t Swim. Best crossover 👌🏿
Fr hella unexpected
Fax
Fr this crossover fye
When he said Death sentence. I detected a slight wavering of the guys voice. The only time during his interview I got even a hint of emotion.
only just found your channel my friend and you are really amazing,iv watched LOADS of crime/court vids and was puzzled by some of the terms they use in court then..ureka!!! found your channel and so many of my questions are now answered,you explain everything brilliant stuff,iv subbed and now binge watching all your content,be well sir and thank you so much.
This is fascinating. I love your breakdown and your humour.
As an undergraduate I worked for a criminal psychologist. Her a few of my other psych professors said they stopped doing therapy and started teaching because they were scared for their lives. These cases are so interesting, but chilling at the same time, both the criminally insane and the sane ones.
Gosh, i can imagine. There are so many crazies out there. I bet the professors have some interesting stories.
My mother was a serious schizophrenic, constantly paranoid that someone wanted to murder her and would sometimes have biolent reactions to hallucinations. For years I went to sleep wondering if I wouldn't wake up the next day because her hallucinations caused her to kill me.
I'm watching a guy, watching a guy, who watched a guy, being watched by guys. 🤔
I've watched that one 😳
Same
Yup
Nice!
How dare you assume the genders.
First video I’ve seen and already subscribed. Love the relatable analysis!
As someone who was in a mental hospital for my PTSD and Never in prison and only knowing "prison life" from TV (ignorant is bliss in this case really) I would like to say that Yes, Prison in a few cases is probably more enjoyable than mental facilities. The food tho ? Non negotiable The Chicken nuggies were top tier
I was in a psychiatric hospital twice. Honestly? It was not a bad place at all. The food was amazing. But, I had insurance, so that helps that it wasn't a state facility.
Whenever i was in psych hospitals, i called it "house cat mode" when i would spend all day looking forward to a meal, finally eating, and then immediately thinking about the next meal lol
You are pretty in a tomboy kind of way.
I saw this interrogation of Murray. He was a scary dude. It's not just the intelligence but the matter of factness that he presented his story of killing someone from college. So very matter of fact.
Exactly! And his reasoning too is very strange. He didn't feel guilty for the murder, but he didn't enjoy it either, it was just something he did? It's difficult to wrap your head around.
@24:03 The cop is tearing grass, as a proxy for what he would rather be destroying, point's for professional self restraint. The officer probably knew at least one of the victims.
Thats a very interesting observation! He even said “shut up man” in a passive manner, is if in a subtle state of shock. But idk, i have a weird habit of tearing grass or leaves while having normal conversations in an outdoor setting so it could be more innocent than it looks. After all, this ain’t just a regular criminal. Its a teen who just killed 17 ppl and harmed another 17 more. Cop couldve been distraught from the fact that kind of person was right in front of him… although though we dont know those details until the victims are confirmed dead and the victims admitted into the hospital.
that's a big reach
@@yeetusyourmeetus His arms aren't really that long.
@@estetico9282 it sounds like the shut up came from the officer on top of the kid, not the officer with the pov
either way, the tearing grass as an analogy for tearing the kid feels a bit too English teacher for me lmao. idk bout you guys but it makes far more sense for that to be a super stressful situation- therefore fidgeting lol
Your theme song gets stuck in my head ALWAYS. Your son marketing did good
I found you because of your Scamber Turd commentary and I've decided I'm staying😂 I wish other professionals would keep it real like you do!
“ indicative of being a complete prick “ Lordt a medical evaluator would never be allowed to verbalize this fact. This man is a complete professional I totally trust his judgment. Lol
That was the sickest intro I’ve ever seen.

No cap. I want that man to be my music producer lmaoo
Actual fire
Bruce Blicky 🔥
just so you know, I have bipolar, and before treatment, I would do exactly what you described... I cried my eyes out with my husband in the room, and when he left the room, my eyes would dry up like nothing had happened. I didn't understand it at the time, but when I got my diagnosis of bipolar I, rapid cycle, mixed episode and that is why my moods could switch on a dime. My medications changed all of that.
I'm glad you're feeling better. Keep up with your meds.
That's borderline, not bipolar. The episodes are too short. Having said that, the treatments can overlap, so that checks out IG
@@pshaw8406 thank you!
@@disgustof-riley8338 I have ultradian cycling bipolar I. mixed episode. I don't have splitting or trust issues. There is some controversy as to whether it should be classified as true bipolar. However, that is my diagnosis. My treatment for bipolar has been phenomenally successful. I am grateful!

I'm binge watching episodes.. Just in that kind of mood..all great stuff.. Thanks Bruce and Michael!! ❤ Love From Canada 🇨🇦
Finally someone who doesn't have a typical
cookie cutter " You Tube " vocabulary .....
I like a guy who actually calls Bull shit and drops an F bomb here and there .
Subbed 👍
You know, that just means he ahs a bigger chance of getting monitized or something
well he's a lawyer who doesn't really need to rely on RUclips's shitty monetization system so he can drop and f bomb here and there
@@honeyOTU_ Also, I mean... does youtube really want to get into a legal battle over naughty language with a man like this?
ive been psychotic on numerous occasions and its really realy hard to differentiate voices and sentences that are real to ones that arent.
Little example: i literally heard dead friends, or family that 100% was not in town (living in another country at the time) standing in front of my windows yelling and cursing at me. Never saw a single person, not even shadow persons, in front of my windows.
Shadow people are usually silent anyway. in hindsight its easy to differentiate, but while being psychotic there is like 0,00001% chance i can differentiate between real and unreal.
My sister was schizophrenic. It's easy to tell the difference! I feel for you. She used to accuse us of putting thoughts into her head. It was very painful for her and she was never violent.
I have schizoaffective disorder. It sounds like you can tell the difference between reality and hallucinations(shadow people) but you can’t tell with the voices. Do you forget during psychotic episodes that they have passed on or that they don’t live near you? I have always viewed schizophrenia as living in a dream state while your wide awake. I think it’s easier to view the voices as you would when your hear voices in a dream..the voices are being created in our minds..they might closely resemble the real person we’re thinking of but it’s a dream so they might not even talk like the original real person sounds at all. Thinking it’s just a dream got me through a lot of nightmare situations. I hope you can find a way to tell the difference. I feel for you, that must be really hard to deal with.
Have you tried using headphones? I know it doesn't work for everyone but it's such a simple tool to use for some people. When you hear the voices put the headphones on, do the voices change/soften/muffle or are they still as loud and clear? If there's no change, you know it's not real. Of course it's easier to suggest than actually do, and I know many people cannot get to every tool when in an episode, but they're worth trying if you haven't already ❤
Love this kind comments here. I hope you are all doing well. ❤
I've seen several interrogations of killers who were found incompetent to stand trial. They were all very, very similar...they described exactly what happened in great detail, with no affect in their voice at all. A couple of them explained why they "had to" commit the murders. And although the reasons made no logical sense (in one case, he needed his victim's strength), they were related in the same flat, matter-of-fact way. Everything they were saying made perfect sense to them.
None of them were pretending to see invisible people, or hear demons telling them what to do. None of them had exaggerated or manic mannerisms. None of them were yelling out nonsensical things. I've seen all those behaviours in suspects pretending to be mentally ill.
There's such a noticeable difference in behaviour between someone who is mentally ill and someone who is acting like they think someone who is mentally ill acts.
Appreciate your work. Always tremendous, entertaining and educational.
Bruce roasting the cop aswell is hilarious 😂
"That cop hasn't refused a lot of lunches..."
Cold Blooded! LMAO
"that cop hasn't refused a whole lot of lunches I can guarantee that" I LOVE THIS DUDE 🤣🤣
Lol I love that you have your own gangsta theme HAHA
😂 I love how real you are. Informative, and entertaining.
Having suffered with schizoeffective disorder for nearly a decade, and my own family refuting it, this pisses me off to no end. This is the type of nonsense which leads many to believe mental health issues are "just an excuse".
Yeah
That 'just an excuse' is a legitimate factor. But it is not an excuse to ignore someone claiming to have mental health issues.
Although, I have the opposite problem. People forced me into mental health issues all my life, and I've been trying to get out of it my entire life. Nobody treats me human cuz of it.
I know exactly what you mean. People who fake mental illness are vile.
I sympathize with your condition. Unfortunately, the police are not doctors and have to assess on the fly. Plus criminals can be unscrupulous in trying to get off. It's a no win situation for all.
Everyone knows you're faking it.
I actually watch a lot of videos from that channel, so I’m glad Bruce is doing this! That’s one of my favorite videos from them too!
Bruce/Michael - this video is excellent! I'm a mental health counselor and it was so infornative...thank you guys... and thank you JCS!!!! 💜
He’s soo funny when he swears , he sounds so professional then swears unexpectedly he’s hilarious 😂😂😂
Bruce you should just break down the legal consequences of the people in street fight videos. Like “you see he stepped on his head when he was unconscious? BOOM that’s an extra 5yrs for that” type stuff. Keep Safire by years and if the fight was even right or wrong to start. You keep up the 🔥🔥🔥
Honestly, yes. It's actually crazy if you watch a video of a fight and compare it with how the legal system does. Your honor how he reclined his leg to give it more force shows premeditation and malice with intent to cause serious bodily injure. We request the charge to be raised from assault to aggravated assault. 💁🏻
Damn man, youre really creative, itd be good if you came up with your own thing with the same level of creativity you put just there, anyway, have a good one
“Flattened affect” is a symptom of psychosis/schizophrenia. Speaking in a plain monotone without an outward display of emotional expression.
In some presentations, not all.
So much respect for the detective dealing with Nikolas. I could not stay so calm
Sadly, Nikolas, was a very ill person that showed signs even as an infant. Born w/ an alcoholic syndrome, and showed anger and insensitivity as a toddler on up.
His adopted mother tried her best to get help, therapy, … I’m sure she is heartbroken, but it is not any fault of her own.
Some humans should not be left on their own in society. But, they can’t be locked up until they kill someone. One thing we can do is not allow them to buy weapons, ammo. Too bad lawmakers are afraid to make laws to protect the masses. Not everyone should have the right to bear arms.
He is where he should be, in prison, my heart goes out to the families. Unbearable loss.
Wow.. that second case was awful but he was so honest in what he did. It’s sad that he feels nothing about anything. The void must be terrible. I don’t even know what to think after watching him.
