  1. “Not because I was above it...because I was terrified.” Beautiful! As an autistic adult, first diagnosed at 49 years old, I truly understand her words. Great stuff!!!

  2. No intended disrespect, Mary Jo seems to be (or seems to have been) the MOST gullible human being I have EVER heard of. Did she SERIOUSLY think Amy wrote her a letter from prison to apologize??? This girl never wrote her BEFORE her parole date. Gosh! I lived through the New York City media frenzy! My family and I thought Mary Jo was WAY OFF for defending her husband.

  3. I am simply perplexed as I watch shows detailing this man's actions. I am in shock. What....did it? What drove him? I watch these shows trying to dissect the issues in this man's character to lead him to carry on two separate lifestyles. Lord have mercy on all he affected, and on him. Craziness. I am baffled.

  4. I lived through this mess back in the 80s in the NYC area. All of this stuff brings up horrid memories. I remember clearly many folks, that I was around, were in real shock that ANY woman went jogging in Central Park AT NIGHT!!! This was LONGGGG before they caught anyone. Then I remember the news showing boys marched out of a police station and called “wolves.” I guess what I hate most about this story is the fact that those kids WERE in the park and brutally beating all people…period! Are you kidding me??? Here’s the fact, sadly, if this horribly attacked jogger was not considered newsworthy, we would not even learn of the many other victims who were attacked that night by those thirty kids. THAT CRAP SICKENS ME!!!

  5. As I watch this show in its entirety, I notice how the 1970s police laugh when they talked of this guy EVEN when discussing his jail breakouts. A murderer smiling and talking with police AFTER killing, brutally killing, innocent victims including a twelve year old little girl, which happened after his second breakout from a prison where the interviewed police smiled as they discussed his escape. But wait…no knee to the neck when capturing this man even after his second escape. Instead, they engage in jovial talking and smiles. Very interesting. Here’s a thought: I wonder if the families of the victims smiled when they learned of and discussed his escape from each prison???

  6. Looks like the survivor and the brother might be involved in relations: lost love of a brother seeks out another.

  7. To be honest, I did not think their marriage looked great. He seemed like he was simply an added piece in the American Dream puzzle. He seemed always like a background part of the wife’s life. Sorry. That’s my opinion. Honestly, I see this in many marriages. Sad.

  8. Well, he looked like a seriously mentally ill guy. But I also wonder if he displayed such characteristics to lessen his sentence; mental illness did not play a role in his act of violence.

  9. I just watched an extremely informative movie about CTE and this doctor’s name was NEVER mentioned. How disrespectful. Time to nominate Dr. Omalu for a Nobel Prize. My own experience with multiple concussions, and finally being diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), does not afford me the luxury of remembering if it is a Nobel Peace Prize or what it is properly called. Heck, I rely upon my phone’s auto spelling to help me spell even some of the simplest words. This stuff is REAL!!! And I am not an athlete.

  10. Are you kidding me? Reflects on the loss of those he cheated, but he says he made wealthy people wealthier. He stole from them. Weird!

  11. Words like “safe gun use” and “gun was secure” are hollow. The 6 year old knew how to point at the heart and pull the secured gun’s trigger. That does not sound like practiced safe gun control, in my opinion. The teacher has bullet fragments littered in her upper chest. Parents are required to be in school with the child, and the day they are not there the child brings mom’s 9 mm instead? What is that about???

  12. "Do more." The NFL does not need to do more. These "men" need to learn, while in college, how to be men not simply how to play a sport. This man had a 0.189 blood alcohol level; a real "man" should have known that he could not or should not be behind the wheel of a vehicle. I think I am sick of hearing how these sports stars live their lives as if they can do whatever they want w/o any consequence. Sadly, this "man" learns after killing and ending a life. Sick.

  13. Ugh! Just hearing the man made me nearly vomit up my meal. What a disgrace. Sorry for the death, yet when it happened, we must remember, he hid from the police and everyone. But now, seventeen years later, and after being locked up in a prison, the man declares he is sorry for killing the lady who was carrying HIS child.

  14. Bashir interviews a person, and the person reveals the personality, or character, of the individual. Therefore, this interview showed this viewer something that will last for a lifetime, for now I know I will not be investing in a sixteen year old's four hundred thousand dollar car in the near future, especially since I am driving a twenty-five year old car, as an adult, while working and paying my way through college. Thank you for revealing to this consumer how our investment is being used Mr. "James Bond."

  15. Pathetic. No sympathy here. He made horrible choices AND he was finally caught and had to face the consequences for his own actions and what does he do....kills himself. Really. The host of (possible) murders that surrounded him, starting in Florida, causes me to see him as a serial killer who had to be stopped. Sadly, his only way of being changed involved him murdering himself.

  16. Wow, a pastor who does not care that this woman he sees is into porn, yep, porn star who is now his private commodity, ah, at least he does not have to repent for being 'into' porn, literally. Glad Jesus saved her, but I think of Mary, in the Bible, who was captivated at the feet of her savior, so much so that marriage was not her road to redemption....Jesus was.

  17. I am thinking of one word when watching this, and the word is liar! This viewer feels they are watching a "Gold Digger!" I think I just witnessed the cause. Horrible.

  18. CherryFrog321, Great thorough breakdown of the term(s). I think it was miraculous that she WAS diagnosed in “1960,” as you stated. I was born in the early 60s but medical professionals told my mother I would grow out of the traits now associated with autism. Thus, I lived my life functioning but seen as one having unique idiosyncrasies. However, when I was 49 years old, I was diagnosed with being autistic and on the autism spectrum. At the time, they did not provide a “level.” Many often tell me they would never think I have autism; yet, most who truly know me, freely accept this diagnosis because it answers their common question: I wonder why you...??? 😂😂😂😂

  19. He was a professional and a CFO and he lashed out on a CASHIER about the overall policy of a company??? That seems kind of weird, in my opinion.

  20. So weird. Now I don't think he suffers mental illness. I think he experimented with some drugs and it altered his thinking from fantasy to reality: i.e. video game hunt and killing to game hunting life killing.

  21. Were they ever REALLY captured or was this the husband's sick way of trying to help the Teliban? The capture's wanted a certain leader released; was this Josh's plan of helping the folks he was obsessed with (The Fifth Estate). Also, if she were "raped " (The Fifth Estate), subjected to a "forced abortion," and her children were beaten by these horrid captures, why on earth does she, and her husband, still resemble those whom captured the family? I would want nothing to do with any aspect of the capture's culture.

  22. Yeah yeah yeah…keep blaming mental illness. Sadly, the Compton gangsters violent acts title them as thugs; whereas, the suburban mass murderers who violently murder innocent victims are deemed “mentality ill.” PLEASE!!!

  23. I am nearly petrified to fly. God forbid I survive an airplane crash….NEVER AGAIN. I would not be able to EVER fly again.😳

  24. I watched the segment and her show being cancelled, because of her sharing her opinion, seems outlandish to me. I am a dark skin American who was not offended. I cannot speak for all people, but, in my opinion, this so called "controversy" spreads racism. If they cancelled the show because she made negative comments about Kent University, or the school in England that she condemned due to their policies on costumes, then I would understand the offense, somewhat. However, this cancellation due to her mentioning not understanding why a lady was considered offensive towards others because she darkened her skin tone for a one day costume event is certainly not grounds for being terminated. Thus, the cancellation generates and creates a negative bias towards those they claim are offended, or the people of color. In turn, they have now turned her simple comment into a topic that fuels anger. In other words, this is an ongoing tactic, by the media that dominates this society, to stir negative attitudes towards people groups. Why did they not cancel the show due to her speaking out about Kent University or college? Why did they not cancel the show due to the Nazi comment? Therefore I ask, why did they cancel the show due to her asking why someone offended others because she darkened her skin to look like Diana Ross? So, here is my take on this matter: I call your bluff media execs, sorry, you are the racist who seek to stir controversy in order to acquire more money and viewership. Therefore, stop attacking the Black race!!!

  25. “The 53 year old.” Funny how I see her as ageless. Like, I HAVE AGED, but I never realized that she is in her 50s. Keep it with God, Dear. All that glitters isn’t gold. Live for the soul that lives eternally rather than satisfying the emotions that will decay with the body. Hey, I am in my 60s and one day I was functioning, but now, I am recovering from cardiac arrest and blood clots in a nursing home. The Lord IS LIFE!❤

  26. I am watching the entire episode on an app. This clip does not show the words I am commenting on. Notice how the police and the former police chief declares “none of his officers” would tell the kids or their parents that they would go home. So, is he seriously trying to tell us that EVERY INTERVIEWED PERSON who were in each of the interrogation rooms are liars???

  27. Hey, watch the last ten minutes…the girl laughs as she discusses being in love with a habitual criminal, stoned, and with her lover criminal as he holds-up a gas station while she is in a car “passed out” on drugs; and this happened AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM PRISON AND PLACED IN A LOVING HOME. Her excuse: I hate rules. ABC….you missed it with this one, especially when reporting this as our nation was riddled with over excessive VIOLENCE by police officers towards people of color whom they qualify as criminals. Well, look at THESE CRIMINALS, we don’t see any excessive force used towards these people. This sickens me!

  28. Oh….my…..😮! Lord help his family, even today. That is a shame.🥲🥲🥲

  29. This video clip’s narrator is off: Prince’s first breakout hit (in my opinion) was “Wanna Be Your Lover.” I had the 45 in the late 70s!!! This brother, Prince, was on the scene before some 1984!!! Geez!!! Come on!!! Research your subjects, PLEASE!!!

  30. That Dr was tested and the results were horrid, so he repeats the test over and over and over AT THE SAME LAB??? Note to self: Question EVERYTHING!

  31. Am I crazy? I am truly baffled. This show seems to suggest sympathy for these people, especially the so called kids. But please let us consider a fact: the two children were LEGAL ADULTS!!! Their father said to them, “Let’s rob banks together” and the 20 year old and the 18 year old child agrees???Are you kidding me? They had NO THOUGHT of telling the police or even other family members, like their grandmothers or aunts??? Beyond this, let’s think of the victims of the crimes they committed: some of those employees have been TRAUMATIZED…for LIFE! They had a gun put to their head while trying to remain claim to satisfy this family’s crime. So, we then have to see this free girl LAUGHING while discussing something that has created PERMANENT trauma in the bank workers. ABC…sorry…this is THE MOST biased reporting I have EVER SEEN! Please do not use your commentators to instill in viewers a sympathetic perspective towards this family of criminals!

  32. For the lives lost, that audio was not as dramatic as it should have been! Now we have the updated 737 MAX and by March 2022 multiple families mourn in China after that plummeted horrific crash.

  33. Exactly! This show tries to convince us to see those kids through a sympathetic lens. Ridiculous!

  34. Did that man just say that woman was “nun like” because she wore black??? Are you kidding me???

  35. Diversity embraced and encouraged by a homogeneous group is a self-satisfying altruistic way of warding off internal, individually and collectively, homogeneously defined racism. Defining racism from an external perspective, of privilege and power, is as the old CSN&Y tune proclaims, “To sing the blues, you’ve gotta pay the dues.” They do not have a clue, and most accurately, or a desire to embrace change! Notice how the Harvard president preached the “inclusive diversity” message, and then swiftly resigned before it was implemented. And no, folks who were in place during this and the other mentioned incidents are not committed to change even if they are elevated to high positions. How do we examine this as truth: they were not asked or presented an ultimatum to leave. Get it???

  36. ABC are you so shallow that you will not offer full episodes AND the show is not offered for purchase?

  37. Sue the shipping company??? Let me ask, 9 years later, did Sarah pray to ask God to take away her desire to drink, especially in excess?😢

  38. Secrets. Hiding under long one color sheets. One race power. Burning a cross. Claiming religious rites: Christ-like (Christian). Sounds just like ISIS to me. That is exactly what Bin Laden did and stands for: separatist and destroying those who do not agree with you.
