Washington state sure has produced some real doozy’s
at least some of that HAS to be attributed to the fact that in WA (the PNW in general, really) everything is cold, grey, and soggy for about 9 months out of the year. britan seems to have a similar climate and similar number of doozys
I always call Washington State and Florida " Serial killer central."
@@darkkiss7247 Washington and California
@juicifer pandora rex While you may still be on to something, Spokane is in Eastern Washington, which is a desert and very much not part of the PNW (northwest being the operative term). OR and WA are generally regarded as stereotypically rainy areas, but in reality, as you go further east from the coast, it's an entirely different climate.
I saw a documentary on tv how he affected his family also. He had girls and it really made them feel so very guilty and upset and did a lot of crying. I feel for the victims both the people who lost their lives and his family. Can really affect a lot of people. I heard his one son is having a very difficult time to this day. Horrible and tragic
So let’s get this right, you had Yates and ridgway two prolific serial killers in the Pacific Northwest at the same time? This must have been a freaking nightmare for the police.
He, Ridgway and Bianchi (The Hillside Strangler) are all at the same prison. Rob and Ken are on the same unit, they pretty much avoid each other. Rob met Gary a few years ago while he was still on DR. Gary has Alzheimer’s so Rob said he was kind of off but liked to talk about religion.
@@katmah78 Thats some awesome knowledge man! What I dont understand (and I never have) is why they lock this sick people up together? surely they should be separated, or do they allow them to get together and talk about their horrific crimes and the "good old days"?
@@andydbedford Rob, Ken and Gary all committed their murders in Washington State, hence why they are “together.”
Ridgway is different though, he’s housed in IMU South and will be for life. Rob and Ken are housed in Rainier unit, just on different mods. They’re cordial with each other but in no way friends.
The Pacific Northwest has been home to a number of serial killers. John Douglas, the FBI profiler of the Green River killer, once called the region “America's killing fields,” according to former Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman, who grew up in the Tacoma area.
Almost the entire West itself is a haven for serial killers. I've lived in California my whole life. And there's murder houses ALL OVER this state
May all those ladies rest in peace.
No
@@illla you will go to hell
May all the Mexican police officers killed by drug cartels RIP, not these smackheads here
Ladies? 😂
Ladies? They're prostitutes, not ladies.
there is an unsolved case of a 20 year old girl named Tina Hosmer that i went to high school with. She was shot in 1990. Yates was stationed in the Army at Fort Drum during this time, which is the army base here. Her killer has never been identified.
Cold case detectives should give this a good looking at huh 🤔
@@EJ-74 yes and the person involved was witnessed to be driving a white car....yates had a white corvette
Was him for sure
Sounds like the police did have evidence linking him to her murder but the last time they spoke to him about it was 22 years ago from what I read.
It could be coincidence.
Can't stand when someone says "he doesn't look like a serial killer" what are they supposed to look like
I do not know.
Me they look like ME 👼
@@justsayin3647 I do, they look like Me👼
Pretty much just means that he doesn't look threatening.
When a serial killer is caught, what does the family, friends, neighbors, co-workers all say? Yes, "he doesnt look like a serial killer". Also some variations of "hes such a nice guy", "he couldnt possibly have done it", "hes just so normal".
Coz theyre good at masking.
Yates was my dad's flight commander when he was stationed in Germany! He said he used to go boar hunting a lot and would just kill for the fun of it because you can't keep what you kill there at the time. He didn't hear about him until the military ball when some of his army buddies filled him in on what happened. Crazy stuff
Where in Germany?
@allan9603 Goppingen, its 35km east of Stuttgart.
@@misssamyboo , Wildflecken my first tour, K-town my second.
Robert Yates and Gary Ridgeway put Ted Bundy to shame.
Although, Gary Ridgeway and Bundy were very similar in their necrophilia, Bundy was more brutal in what he did to victims.
Monsters really do walk amongst us regardless of what they look like.
Absolutely 💯.
It's like they are being RAISED....maybe satanic ritual is just as powerful as prayer...
Nicolas Cruz the parkland killer looks like a nerd so I agree.
Problem is calling them monsters acts like they're something other than what they are. They're humans. Humans do this shit. Humans walk among us. The shadow of man is deeper and darker than anything else in nature.
@@mattb1100 yes, they are human, but they are not connected to their beingness...they are not connected to their being , they are no longer human beings when you do not think with your heart first, and then channel that in the mind. They have a heart/mind disconnect.
If he killed because he had lost control after the military, what was his excuse for killing all those sex workers in the military?! Let’s be real, he didn’t need excuses he was always like this.
The military attracts all kinds of psychopaths, including this geezer.
@Tahtahme's Diary:
They're referring to the escalation of attacks that occurred after he left the military.
Amen
They don't want patriots. They want Yateses.
I have a hard time with this one...almost as if he was hired to play a acting role on tv. I just saw something in his eyes.
I can remember this from when I was child. Growing up in Spokane Washington I would I ask my parents about the billboards with the victim on them. As an adult it is haunting memory when I ride the bus down sprague Avenue. Rest In Peace
Met a guy who did a polygraph on Yates. Got to see a written statement claiming 16 victims and his signature. Plus the raw data from said test.
Both Yates Jr and Gary Ridgeway are in WA penitentiary in Walla-WAlla
My stepmom knew Robert yates's daughter and witnessed the entire meltdown of the family after Robert was caught. The whole family essentially changed their name and moved out of Spokane just to get away from people attacking them.
Love the voice of the narrator, so wish all these documentaries where narrated by him
One of my best friends growing up, Jennifer, was killed by this monster. She was an amazing person who was hurting and taken advantage of by men. I miss her.
I'm sorry 😞
We can’t give a like to this for obvious reasons, but personally I am sorry for your loss, nobody deserves this.
So sorry, was in the Jennifer mentioned in the video?
This breaks my heart. I am so sorry 💔
Was she mentioned in this documentary
I was a kid during this time in Spokane and my dad was out of town for work when they found one of the victim’s body near our house. My mom was pregnant with my little sister and I remember many sleepless nights thinking I was next
Oh, that's awful! I imagine many kids (and adults too) were terrified.
I have a similar story
I would be a billionaire if I were given a penny for all of the times I heard the good Ol' "He didn't look like a monster, he looked like an average person"
Because the ones who look like monsters are caught immediately
It’s that old saying once again: You can’t detect a serial killer by his face. Go figure.
@@dickiesdocosThat and potential victims more likely to avoid someone who looks like a monster and not put themselves in a position where they’re alone with them.
I have always wondered why so many super prolific killers have come from the Pacific NW and Cali.
Its crazy that this guy killed like 16 people, more than some of the well known killers, yet Yates is almost completely unknown by any really outside of Washington
Scariest thing is he looks like a school principal.
I can't get over my gut sense is this man is an actor, hired for a part.
"their interaction went down much as an interaction with a prostitute goes down"
Really? That's the best way you could phrase that?
They accidentally booked the Harold Shipman actor for the wrong doc.
😂
Yates looks like the cat in the hat. The cat should have played him.
Keep telling about how hard the childhood was . Lots of kids have had tough childhood and don’t kill. Thin line between empathy and apathy!
The only evidence they have, that he was, is him saying it. I think he made it up. And, they mention grandma, but there’s no mention that he was witness to that.
I Live in the same city as Robert Yates Jrs Daughter. When I would see his daughter around town growing up My mom would always tell me she’s the child of a infamous killer, I never believed her until I got older, she told my mom Some crazy stories about her dad & how he did crazy stuff infront of her, my aunt used to work at the penitentiary we’re Robert is held, she did his bloodwork along with a lot of other male infamous killers here in WA STATE. She said Robert was nice & Gary Ridgway, would request her to do his bloodwork specifically
Anyone who drove a 70’s style Corvette should have their backgrounds checked thoroughly.
A prime example of why you don't name your kids after yourself.
As someone born and raised in Spokane, I was teenager when this was going on and it was really scary. Things like this didn't happen in Spokane. I remember the news showing a dead body on the side of the road that scared the heck out of me. No way the modern media would show that now!!!!
@Flipkowski Sadly, Spokane is quickly devolving into a slum, much like Seattle or Portland. The last two summers I went to visit, the city is looking dirtier, run down and the homeless and drug problems have exploded. It's sad to see. Im glad I live in Colorado now...
@Bridget Smith Gary Ridgeway never killed anyone in Spokane... He killed in the Seattle area, which is 220 miles away from Spokane... So... You don't know what you're talking about.
@@mr.constitution dude, they were a couple of the worse serial killers that’s pretty close to each other, only 220 miles both operating at the same time, taking out prostitutes!
Yates was/is an absolute p.o.s. monster. Even compared to other serial killers. I'm sure there is a bunch of victims in some foreign countries he served in. That's obviously the reason he retired from the military early. I feel for his victims families & his family as well.
He had a great house
?
Okay, about his abandoning the military career out of the blue... no, it's not that he was in too much shock after shooting a transvestite, this makes NO SENSE, in such an unemotional individual. NO, he was forced to resign. He was seen, suspected, deduced to have done it, what have you, but he was forced to clear out.
Exactly ! The military always tries to protect their reputation.
Somebody wanted this GOOF out of the military and he split. They had some dirt on him or something but he certainly DIDNT just QUIT so close to retirement..
He wasn’t forced to resign. He left because his wife wanted to go home, back to Washington State. He regrets making that decision to this day.

6:04 incredible waterfall, 7:17 great stream footage. A lot of great scenery in this video.
As a child I was forced into prostitution. Lucky I escaped and refused to get a drug habit so that I’d never have to go back to that life.
I'm so sorry to hear the first part, but it sounds like you have good smarts,I'm sure you found strength caused from you're past.
How were u forced into prostitution?
Congratulations on escaping and avoiding circumstances .
Good for you. I hope you are well and happy.
Good luck Karma,you're one tough cookie. Stay strong.
"He idolized his father" That's not the same as love, affection, true respect, closeness.
I hate both of my sorry parents
@WoodstockSnoopy Part of the cards we're dealt in life, only thing we can do is play our hands to the best of our abilities. I was blessed enough to have a father that was an excellent parent. Almost felt like he was so great to make up for my mother's opposite status.
This case is very interesting to me considering my dad was the forensic scientist who initially linked the fibers from the bodies to the corvette. Pretty weird flex 💪🏼
Could they get an actor who looked any more different than Yates ??? SMH
Honestly he looks like Harold shipman
He was also abusive to his wife and children. Their story is truly awful. They all felt he was losing it and would kill them.
How do you know? Is there a Link you could send? Thanks

@@katmah78 saddle a wife with 5 kids then dissappear to go killing, what would you call him if not an abuser?
6:00 "we have to ask ourselves why", why did growing up in a normal family do nothing to prevent his murderous impulses? But it's obvious: psychopaths are born, not raised. Granny passed on her murderous predisposition, not through upbringing but through inheritance. It's unbelievable that the commentator guy twists this into saying it became an "intergenerational message that women are very dangerous." OMG. Even if it were so, why didn't his father become a murderer, then? He was way closer tot he "message". BS, people, BS. Psychopaths are born, some of them will develop sadistic sexual desires and a lust for power and will become serial murderers; those who don't, become CEOs instead :D
Thought the same. These journalists making these shows are misogynists most of the time.
Inherited, raised etc.
Narcissists are created by the environment they grew up in.
If he has narcissist traits he could've been created by the environment he grew up in as well.
Depends upon his upbringing.
Early on in life, narcs manipulate to get what they want.
As they grow older, those manipulative tactics get more deliberate and targeted, all while their anger and frustration inside grows.
By adulthood, they are masters at manipulating and controlling others.
Along with those traits, they grow more angry, resentful and frustrated..but you hardly see that side of them.
As for murdering innocent people, their playground is vunerable people, never anyone who is healthy and strong, with a good head on their shoulders that would stand up to them.
Vunerable people are easy targets. Narcs are lazy and anyone they sense that has a head on their shoulders isn't a good target for them. They steer clear away from those kinds of people.
It's too much of a challenge to manipulate someone who could be on to their odd behavior so they don't bother.
Narcs never prey on healthy minded people.
Narcs go through life studying others behaviors..They're known to be quiet, shy and not aggressive, but while they appear to be shy and quiet, they are that way because they are studying people.
They're known to copy manurisms and actual content of conversations. They know they are different and have to study people to learn how to communicate and get by on life.
There's so much more to narcissism than what most believe is someone over the top loving themselves..that's actually the opposite of covert narcissists which are considered stealth because they are most dangerous..They cause not only psychological damage to their targets in relationships but have the tendency to actually kill, silence a person who is a threat to them without a care in the world.
They are true wolves in sheep's clothing.

What is it about the Pacific Northwest that seems to make it the place that breeds so many of the most infamous serial killers?
I think it's a contractual agreement for residency. WA and Cali seem to take the cake.
@@Didyaknow811 I can't speak for Washington, but speaking for California, we are the most populous state in the country. So it stands to reason we would have more crime victims, more serial killers etc. #1 state with the most serial killer victims is California. Followed by #2 Texas (which is the 2nd most populous state) and #3 Florida (which is the third most populous state). If you're talking about the state with the most victims per 100,000 people, that #1 honor goes to Alaska. And California is #12 on that list and Washington is #8

20:40 narrator says "spreads east to Tacoma" except Tacoma is west of Spokane
Been to Spokane while visiting a friend back around the early 2000. Went through the downtown and it was a shell of its former self. Boarded up businesses everywhere. Only viable business I saw was the hardware store, army surplus and a hamburger joint. Really depressing
It’s true. We are desperate trying to clean things up, but with the transients constantly vandalizing everything, the plague of drugs flooding the area, and the rising costs of housing, the future is looking bleak. The owner of the finest tattoo establishment in the city, Anchored Art, has had his windows smashed and his shop set on fire by tweakers and hobos. I hate it so much.
I live in Davenport now. 😂
Probably antifa terrorists destroying everything. I don’t see homeless attacking businesses too often. Then again, I left that area of the country.
"A white Corvette is a very distinctive vehicle -- one you're not going to mistake for something else"
Tell that to the beat cop who filed a police report on Yates after pulling him over for speeding in his Corvette -- which said officer mis-identified as a Camaro
and never finger prints taken from the plastic bags, etc...
@@chloeuntrau4588: Well, given his law enforcement and military bkgd., he likely knew how not to leave fingerprint evidence -- or, at least how to minimize the chances of doing so. Like with the majority of serial killers who evade capture over years/decades, they're careful to not leave too much direct evidence that's traceable back to them (apart from DNA, which most SKs didn't know to acct. for prior to 30+ yrs. ago) -- until, that is, they get cocky and sloppy after they escalate their attacks (both in terms of frequency and duration between attacks) when their narcissism convinces them that they are invincible and too clever to be caught. Ironically, this is precisely when law enforcement typically catches up to them, b/c their careless mistakes begin to accumulate beyond their capacity to contain them.
Cops: not usually the brightest bulbs.
32:13 i love how she says “a white corvette is distinctive, you’re not going to mistake it for something else” bruh a cop earlier in the story literally did mistake it for something else 😭😭
I wonder if he ever had thoughts about being on the other side of the bars while he was a guard, or maybe even something like a premonition. How interesting and befitting an end to his freedom.
This guy killed Connie Lafontaine in Tacoma Washington, she was my friend.
I can't get past the fact that there are multiple prunciations of Spokane within the same documentary
No kidding...why aren't Americans doing the narrative instead of the UK? The English say many words differently.
Trust me, phonetically it’s Spo-Can. Notice the odd pronunciations are limeys. They don’t care how we pronounce our cities, they will pronounce words how they feel they should be pronounced. Not a slam, just a fact.
@@wayupnorth9420 You guys do it too. It’s just we are not as familiar with each other’s language and don’t call us limeys it’s rude
@@theresarasche3173 You mean like when American narrators talk about British things?
I’ve been called a “yank” by Brit’s. No different.
I love this channel.
Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway,and this guy man,that's a scary list, Washington isn't near one of my places to visit.
I live in Washington State, and Spokane always amazes me when it's discussed nationally. It is actually a fair sized city, but few people know about it. I feel bad for people trying to put together a video because there are no iconic Spokane shots to be used in a video. There is a clock tower in a park downtown, and there is the skyline, but otherwise, it's just a whole bunch of shots of railroad underpasses and extremely undistinguished streets.
Spokane is pronounced Spoke-Anne, by the way.
People who live in this part of the world often refer to it as SpoCompton. It has some of the poorest neighborhoods on the West Coast, and there are areas where it's kind of scary to be out at night. There's a beautiful walking path beside the river, where unfortunately people are often beaten or violated.
When I lived in Spokane and was doing a residency, there was a horrifying incident in which a woman on meth tried to lead her four children across a four-lane street that had a concrete median in the center. All of her children were killed. In Spokane, that's just how life goes. On the other hand, there are some really beautiful parks and a lot of good people and the cost of living is phenomenally lower than Seattle. I just didn't like my years in Spokane, obviously.
Yah I never go to Spokane unarmed, but living 40 miles north of Spokane in the middle of nowhere is great.
Good whores suppose ?
I live in Spokane. This city has gone straight to hell in the past ten years… makes me sad. 🥺💔
OMGod, what a story. When I lived there, it was pretty much a big Cow-Town USA - mostly about farming, and processing beef. It was a trading post for fur trappings, and hookers, when it began - that's it main energy - and the hookers hung out in a certain part of town. I hated Spokane - the energy was dense. It was all about trucks, drinking all the time, and I could not find any friends at all. I lived there for 3 yrs, then moved on up to Seattle and began the time of my life. (I would never go there now!) It wasn't so crazy - my time was 1984-86. ALL of USA used to be relatively good, (compared to now), until the chemicals came flowing into the streets and there was money to bad, and corrupt officials on the take. This is how you destroy everything, corruption - no one understands - it's not what the corrupt puppets point and say is WRONG (they always CREATE it - in a sinister way)it's ALL due to the corruption. You have BAD at the top in any hierarchy EVERYTHING will reflect it - and if people are so dumbed down, they can't discern it, they will lose their free will and potential of life. That's just how it goes. I loved Seattle until the chemicals were FLOWED into the streets and people. It was heaven on Earth and now is a complete nightmare. And every one just pretends and not see the million homeless in the streets and tranny twerkers reading to gradeschoolers. Now you must understand why Spokane is so bad....it never used to be. It was just dense, dense energy.
@@EarthenCavy Like all the democratic cities if you would just look. Seattle Olympia were destroyed within 10 years also. IT'S IS NOT NATURAL - but contrived by some really bad ass people and Corrupted people - so easy to do - and if they are not corruptible then they will be suicided or die of some strange disease or accident.

No, the switch being flipped concept relates to suddenly acting on behavior that you've been obsessing over. We called it snapping. It can and does happen with extreme results. It doesn't mean you suddenly become something you're not. The expert has it wrong conceptually. These English experts are far less than their American counterparts. It's a mistake to use them when they can use experts who were part of the cases. This should be done throughout the show.

You don’t “practice shooting targets”; you just shoot targets. That act in and of itself is practice.
You shoot targets to practice murdering people military style.
Well, the same can be said for nearly everything. You don't practice doing math, you just do math.
This is a pretty nit-picky comment.
Why would you oppose the death penalty in cases like this? What is wrong with these people?
Death penalty cases are much harder to find a jury for and get a conviction for. Decades of automatic appeals… Life in prison is a much easier case to prosecute.
Teacher leave those kids ALONE.
As a kid in Walla Walla, who played in that park where he killed his first two victims, we were terrified. The male victim was my second grade teacher's (Mrs. Oliver) son. We all knew, but it was never mentioned. He later worked at the movie theater where we all went. At least we finally know what happened.
I was in my teens living in hangman Valley. I use to with my friends go down by the creek never even know this was going on.
It's not about you.
i don't think it was in the news that much and i don't know why. i don't remember seeing anything and my friends never talked about it. i was in my 20s.
I am no champion of capital punishment, anyone remotely aware of how many innocent ppl who've been executed would agree. However,in a case like this or the btk case,these ppl do not deserve a calm non-violent death.its too good for such ppl. Seriously, these ppl actually deserve to die a cruel inhuman death and I'm a humanitarian at heart
I agree, but look at it a little differently. An example is "botched" executions... The ethics side says "that's messed up, executions are barbaric! ", but in reality, we're ignoring the line of events that got them there. They didn't show mercy or compassion to their victims. Let the convict suffer. If people like BTK, Robert Lee Yates, Gary Ridgway etc don't deserve the death penalty, than who does?
Lethal injection is very painful. Its basically beimg suffocated to death. Read up on it.
It isnt nearly as traumatic or painful as the shit the they do to their victims and the hurt and sorrow that family suffers. How dare anyone sympathize or even compare the levels of suffering of a condemned person and the suffering of the victims. People responsible for such offenses should be roasted to death in my opinion, considering that they alone bring it down upon themselves
The # of innocent vs guilty is what I’d be more interested in.. there’s a margin of error in everything.. Yea that sucks but I bet it’d clean things up QUICK
Lmao have a nice day😎
I think there should be a law, which every state agrees, in which anyone committing 2+ 1st degree murders, are NOT eligible to any plea deal, and are given a mandatory death penalty; states that don’t conduct them, will transfer the murderer to the nearest state that does!
In addition, it would apply to anyone currently serving life sentences for murder!
Oh ya ? Wait till you get to Oregon…
Pronounced Spocan...not cane!
No way this would have taken 30 years and these kinds of numbers of murders if these were house wives gone missing and found shot in the head and disposed of like "trash" all over the place.
Oh course not. If he murdered house wife he would have been caught sooner because he would either have to kidnap or kill them instantly. But because he choose prostitution he was able to kill longer
Sad but true
I live in Spokane now and honestly Washington state is filled with weirdos ! Not even the fun and artsy weirdos just the sad and depressed weirdo! The lack of sunlight here makes people miserable
Then move away
He was so narcissistic he had to correct the police about the car. Corrected them all the way to prison 😂😂😂
Nah police were too stupid. Who thinks a Camaro and Corvette are the same
WOMEN
The guy portraying Yates looks like he's 60, not 46. Would they have willingly gotten into the car with a dirty old man as easily?
Why dirty ? For being 60 ? Someone who is not dirty at 46 is dirty after hitting 60 ?
@@nandomericoni4457 Referring to his looks.
Does the dirty looking man have money? If so, then that’s all that mattered obviously
60 isn’t old as in ancient

8:25 oh yeah of course it's about power. Everything is about power with this chick. If you asked her for her thoughts on taking a sh*t, I guarantee she'd say "it's about powah"
In an English accent….”You have to decrease the powah and increase controlh to prevent chipping the porsaleen.”
@@richardcranium3579 hahahaha
He was hiding in plain sight,and nobody would have thought that HE was the murderer..
The female psychologist is in many of these episodes, and her only answer ever is "control". It's like she only had one class about criminal psychology.
She's a typical psychologist, an expert after the fact.
Master of speculation - love the line about how if he'd been a good baseball player as a child he may not have grown into a killer....
Growing up in Spokane during this time, I remember being a kid and terrified to be anywhere near downtown lol.
Hope the other prisoners are treating the ex prison guard as he deserves 😑
Why all the water flowing, especially when describing his killer grandma
it's sort of creepy and ghoulish the way this woman narrator seems amused, excited, titillated by these crimes. she always seems like she ready to start giggling. ick.
You obviously have not lived in England as the majority of the girls and women have this overall demeanour .
Looks like she's smiling like one would in a polite face to face conversation.
The facial ticks creepify that 😁

My hometown. They mostly cleared out Sprague after decades of it being " the stroll." Still known as that though
What's The Stroll? Is it a reference to the street girls or something else?
@@jules2630 nah its a high prostitution area. Aka "the blade"
I lived in Spokane at that time when Yates was caught and what they are not telling you in this video is that Yates had sex with the dead bodies. He was a necrophiliac and so the reason he killed was to have sex with them after he killed them. Curious why they left that out.
I spent time on Oak Harbor Island, a beautiful place.
I love how at 32:15ish she says a witness saw Jennifer get into a white corvette and a very distinctive vehicle thats not something you're going to mistake for something else, BUT earlier they said an officer pulled him over for speeding and put down a white camero 🤦♀️
Did he chose 'hangman road' deliberately as a place to dump the body because of the name?
Well
One serial killer “body dumped” at “Dead end”.
3 minutes into the documentary, and already foolishness ensues. People trying to say he was dressed well, he spoke well, he was in the military, he lived in a nice neighborhood. These are all stereotypical judgments we place on humans. How did that work out for you catching this serial killer? How many murders of the 14 killings did you prevent? Zero. So putting someone in a box and trying to label them as good or bad based on their appearance and social status is how you tell a serial killer huh? No wonder it takes 20 plus years to catch them. Please must be looking for the Shady looking type that lives in a low class neighborhood, doesn't have the money to shop for the better clothes, and someone who hasn't been very successful in life. Now we know what to look for in serial killers! I grew up in the South where judgment was everything. Everything is black and white with no Shades of Gray. Absolutely hilarious, the way we stereotype and judge.
You think they would have learned something by the year 2000. Then again maybe people just want to believe these stereotypes.
@@FC-hj9ub Yup. I see at least 2 of those dummies in this thread…
Dr Elizabeth Yardley has a marvelous grasp of the obvious.
I live in Spokane and I know the state has a history of horror....but, just to clear things up: it's not "the rain". Spokane....is more desert than rainforest.
Washington State, once you cross the mountains just outside of Seattle....is mostly desert.
When you have mountains just after a coastline, you get a rain shadow. So, Seattle get about 37" of rain a year, while Spokane get an average of 17" annually. Seattle doesn't get snow.....Spokane gets snow and often ice storms.
Spokane is 280 miles east of Seattle.....to put that on context: Death Valley is just about 270 miles from the California coast (Bay Area).
Washington State....not as rainy as people think.
Most murderers look like average Joe's! Some are even handsome... that's a stupid comment... SMH!
I could tell by his eyes he was off. I went to grade school with Nikki Lowe, a victim, and she was on a bad path by 6th grade.
no you can't tell someone is off by their eyes.. what mystical BS.
@@alcoholya I can. You probably cannot.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

Still? Then you’re just a crazy who is allowing themselves to be taken advantage of…
Still wearing a mask and getting endless boosters?
My mom is still sad about her best friend...
