I don’t buy none of it!
Everytime vice does one of this segments, i think why woukd they even make this then i see the reporter
Came here from tiktok
My brother has it. Regardless if its self defense or just flat out murder. THEY WILL KILL. 😢😢😢 its sad but not an excuse meditating is needed
Democrats doing what they do best! Talk about problems that don’t even need to be addressed.
Andrea’s daughter has survivor's guilt! She may be inclined to commit suicide! I do believe the ex-wife is right! She was angry because she moved on!
Mental illness nature or nurture! It is especially difficult when children are murdered or young teens!
The one who removed his eyes had advanced demons.
vice is devil.
Vice has become Huffington Post
Thank you for this amazing journalism on this topic knowledge and understanding did not go hand in hand on these cases. These cases should have never went to trial (my condolences to the victims and families) but with still so much stigmatizing surrounding mental illness clearly just their medical records and the nature of the crimes highlighted their abnormally of the brain so why kill them for being born with this disease of the brain for which there is no cure but just stabilization with and only with medication? I’m glad my faith lies in God and not government but thank you again for this eye opening information
You can't bring those kids back. 🥺
He murdered kids. The parents of the kids he murdered suffer every single day. I have no sympathy for him.
Both death row inmates have an excuse " oh I'm sick and i want to stay in prison" no, both of them murdered people including kids,andre's stepson is 100% correct,being sick is an excuse,period
29:01 wow christians wish death on people ? who would have ever thought 🤯
Texas is a Christian state Christians support the death penalty” lol let that sink in.
First of all. Thanks to Lala_dispute1 for making the work environment so friendly and taking your responsibility seriously and completing the work gracefully! You deserve so much. Your team does what they say they are going to do and their ethics are of the highest quality.

People trying to help these prisoners are mentally ill 😢
Stabbed his wife 2 dozen times, drown his step daughter and tried to kill the two boys… PURE EVIL… listen to him play the victim…, I'm sorry you screwed up your life…interesting you were going to kill all of you but you didn't have any wounds that could kill YOU…I feel more of a rage kill than a mental illness kill…"the devil made me do it" defense… This doesn't bring back the victims… They are still dead… why does he get to live? The Death Penalty is very controversial …I struggle with it… but I feel that if someone commits such a horrible crime while living in society for years and years then say "well I was not right in the head" should that EXCUSE them from the death penalty ?
I feel like the message here is get people help during childhood instead of ignoring signs, cause so many lives could be saved with that simple act. This is for parents, teachers, guardians etc. don’t ignore the signs
Jusr watched a women cry over a man killing A baby and a women get what he desveres .
Shouldn't Vice go back to promoting weed
Now did thomas eat both eyes or just one, Because if he ate both of them that would really be crazy.
I love how everyone is automatically assuming theyre all faking…which is what this video is trying to disprove. This is how 8nnocent people end up dead, or people who have a psychotic vreak. I saw my brother go through a paychitic break. He literally thought he had pustules on his hands and he had airplanes buzzing around his head. I believe the guy who said god made him do it. I agree he was not all there when it was happening. He should be in a hospital, not on death row.
I'm not condemning the ones who killed but the ones that have severe health issues I can't condemn them but they knew the consequences of their actions
"Wow, it's disheartening to see how misguided some of these comments are about mental illness. Unless you've experienced the overwhelming feelings of psychosis or bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, you can't truly understand the pain and hopelessness that accompanies it. Life can feel like an endless struggle, but that doesn't make them victims – it makes them fighters. It's crucial to seek help from professionals and not let the demons of mental illness take control. Remember, a fight for your life is always worth it. Stay strong, seek help, and never give up."
Sum up capitalism made them
That way
Make Asylums Great Again
Love how vice will not stop at trying to show murdered and criminals as forgivable.
He still killed a child .
Were these people legally diagnosed with severe mental illnesses before or after they're crying and yes it absolutely matters one hundred percent
This video will try to convince you that some chest thumping nicker has feelings and emotions. None of them do. Dont be fooled
Some are manipulative………very.
The murderers**
This made me emotional as my father has schizoaffective disorder and it just made me think about how lucky I was to have made it. But at the same time, about how there’s a difference between mental illness equaling evil/wrong doing versus just who you are as a person and knowing deep down that something is wrong and that is what prevents you from committing a terrible act. I always felt very loved by my father but it still created many difficulties and trauma to this day.
AMA recognizes this as Def Row unset MI. AMA also recognizes Def Row onset 69 IQ.
At the bottom of things these two men are just bad. No excuse for killing the ones you love. Rip to their victims 🙏
The man must be free because he is mental sick
vice really lost the plot
ya'll out here making a documentary about people who are rightfully on death row instead of making one about the male suicide crisis which are all preventable deaths. The world is really backwards bro.
about 40,000 men die by suicide every year and 23 people were executed in 2023

what are you doing vice?
The second guy that plucked his eyes 👀 out and ate one, now that guy was insane, I believe.
Heck, Gary Greene told the detective his plan. That shows he premeditated it!
