In my AP British Lit class we had to write our own rendition of the "to be or not to be" soliloquy from Hamlet. I, struggling with my mental health and having recently been prescribed medication, wrote something to the effect of "to take or not to take," exploring my thoughts and emotions about depending on medication to feel better. I was sent to the guidance office SO FAST. The counselor was very concerned and I'm like... the whole soliloquy is about whether it is better to live or die. 😂 Anyway. I was fine, but it still caused red flags to pop up and it was addressed.

What year were you in grade 7?

​@@nicoles7872 not just this but also where you went to school at. They're from Mississippi. I'm from the state right next door, Alabama. Both are poor states with mostly crappy public school systems. I'm only a couple of years older than this guy and the idea of a school counselor was something I'd only ever seen on TV as a kid, going to school in the 80s and 90s. We had metal detectors and bad teacher shortages even then, class sizes of 30 or more, not counselors or decent facilities or extra curricular activities much beyond band and basic sports, and those only in middle and high schools.

@@mommy2libraswow. Thank you for sharing this. I was also going to ask where the OP was because it doesn’t sound typical of average American public schooling.

MASSIVE 🚩🚩🚩🚩😳😳

I'm in no way defending the school's (or teacher) actions but it wasn't really until Columbine a year and a half later that they began to take these signs seriously. I'm old enough to remember the first major school shooting where a kid started shooting at other kids in San Diego. There were all kinds of signals before Brenda Spencer started shooting out of her bedroom window at the school playground across the street but instead of getting her the help she needed her father decided to get her the very gun she used as a Christmas present just a couple weeks before. It shouldn't have taken 20 years before teachers and administrators started taking things like that essay seriously.

@kenyattaclay7666 I was thinking that it had to do that, but I wasn't sure if Columbine had happened yet or the space of time in between. Thanks, though!

my middle school language arts instructor would have us roleplay the Holocaust, so i imagine she was a bit over teenage sensitivity. she also taught a class specifically for gifted students, and she openly discussed the suicide i included in mine, and the mass deaths another student included in hers, about an essay prompt detailing happiness. this wasn't too long ago, either, i'm in my early twenties, and she still teaches, though fortunately my younger siblings will never have her class.

I've seen kids get pulled out of class for way less at my school. Albiet, my school is actually really good at handling mental health and is legitimately regarded as literally the best highschool in my state so they're pretty good at handling stuff like that. Heck, we've even got the Suicide Hotline printed on the back of all of our school IDs!

Yea wtf that tripped me out too... Feels weird when I'm home and my dog isn't, even if I know I dropped him off at the groomer

One day I couldn't find my cat and was walking the streets calling her name while sobbing my heart out. People came out of their houses and were like "are you ok?!" I had just moved across the state and was worried my cat escaped and tried to find her way home. I came home and found her under a dresser 😆 I didn't look under there because I thought it was too low for her to fit. I was soooo relieved!!! That kind of thing has happened a few times. She died from cancer 2 years ago and I miss her much. 😭 RIP.

@@fndmntl5341 YES! I know what you mean.

And the brother kept saying she needs a vet. But it was “take her next week” No empathy in this family.

RIP Sparkles.😔

Too busy doing his pity party for one - he thinks he's 'owed' things and lashed out when he didn't get them. What a waste of oxygen.

I'd rather teach a child resilience, that they have a soft place to fall and that they are loved no matter what.

@@cdes1776 both of these things really

@@NobodyHasToAgreeAllTheTime You are right!

Absolutely! If I've learned anything from true crime, it's that we need to teach people how to handle rejection in more healthy ways!

It doesn’t sound like Luke had anybody that cared enough to teach him anything.

Yeah, surprising hey. He was self-centred and entitled beyond comprehension

People like this only have "selective memory".

Undiagnosed narcissist.

I totally agree

I disagree ​@@Opie-hughes

He should’ve been put on a watchlist for that

Reminds me of a kid we had in school named Connor Betts. He was caught in school with a list of girls he was going to rape (no consequences) then a list of people he was going to kill (still no consequences). Then he told his girlfriend about how great mass shootings are, and he wanted to do it (she didn't tell anyone). Then on August 4, 2019 he went on a shooting spree in a bar district(The oregon district) near our school......All the signs were there, but this kid was allowed to buy multiple guns and vests and combat gear.... If you hear something disturbing like this, don't just let it slide. Because as far as I see it, anyone that had the ability to do or say something and didn't has blood on their hands as well.

Incompetent school staff

@@Lord3nderironically i just watched a video on that shooting. it’s wild you went to school with him. were you in the same grade?

100% !! You know it

I hope you've seen the journal entry that Jiles just put out on this freak describing how he murdered his dog. Everyone has felt alone and unloved at some point but this guy right here is one of the sickest individuals I've ever known of.

When I was bullied I had a principal that when I told him he told me " No one likes a tattal tell and we needed to work it out ourselves " so I got suspended for knocking the Bully out. My teacher told me I could be anything I wanted to be so I became an Asshole.

Well let us be friends. How is life going :).

Agreed.

I just listened to a small portion and I had to pass. This guy may be Satan himself.

People died.

Most people who murder start with animals so maybe these stories and channels aren’t right for you if you’re sensitive. Not attempting to be mean but what he did is part of the story. It’s not meant to be kind and nice but teach us about his psychological issues, family issues, life issues and why he did what he did. His impact on animals explains so much about how he functions in life.

Well Im not going to start with animals.

Don't forget about the precious dog.

Unfortunately many people feel sorry for the wrong people. Look at all the idiots that feel sorry for junkies.

Oh yeah!!! I agree 100%.. this kid needs to be in jail for life. Crying doesn't help... Your a MONSTER!!!

@@RebeccaGreen-jt3qkI’d feel more sorry for a junkie who just hurts themselves and other people emotionally than this guy

@@NobodyHasToAgreeAllTheTime , junkies don't just hurt themselves and others Emotionally. They actually will physically hurt people to get drugs. I was kidnapped in my yard at night after work in my own car. He took me to state lands and broke both my arms and took a hatchet to me. I was able to escape and get help. He was caught and went to prison. He did all that just for my money and my car ,he thought he could sell my car for drugs. I as is everyone else but the junkie ,the victim. My life was completely destroyed for years after that. So was my kids lives for what that POS did. He is free now and we keep an eye on him. I plan on getting even. I just want to make sure he has his kids with him when I do. Mine were innocent victims so I want to make sure his gets the same feelings as mine did, or worse.

Honesty and truth are lost in translation

Luke was autistic, also weak and self-absorbed, but autistic, you have some insight he could not reach.

Exactly, I am still poor and still live like shit. My parents really didn't care about us even if they said they did. We basically raised our younger siblings but our parents refused to truly care. We were forced to step in because they wouldn't, it was only screaming and threats when they were around. The neglect we went through was just awful, I'm thankful that any physical abuse kind of fizzled out when the 4th child was born- since it was our job, we completely stopped anything related to spanking. It was only a threat our dad would do, but he was too tired from college to rlly go through with it (Plus they were almost never home) I'm 22, disabled, unable to work, I live in our cruddy childhood home paying rent to our father who (now) has a better job and lives with than he did back then and he lives with his girlfriend and one of our siblings, the other two voluntarily live with Mom bc she sucks but they don't like his GF. We still see them both even though I am not too happy about it. Life can be just awful and it's often hard, still now as an adult, disability doesn't give a lot of wiggle room for food that is healthy, we could never move out of the worst place in my mind because the housing and apartment market is absolutely terrible. life feels bleak sometimes. I'm still not happy But at my worst, when I want to die, no matter what anger I feel, it's only directed to me. Do I have angry thoughts? yes, but who does it, the difference is acting on it. The anger and violence in my soul gets redirected towards me bc I actively do not want to be the monster in my head. I have mental illness So many people would think of as 'evil' or dangerous. But I don't want to hurt strangers, what did they do to me? Nothing, they are living their own lives, My suffering should not be theirs. No amount of Bullying and abuse I went through makes me want to kill and attack strangers and people who are 100% innocent. He does not deserve compassion, he does not deserve an excuse, people go through horrible shit all the time and they never ever do anything this awful. It's the same with any type of murderer who had a bad childhood or life, so do millions of people. It can be an explanation for some behaviors, but imo, for most, it barely even explains anything. It's never an excuse. I'm not an atheist, but I'm not religious either (more Agnostic but spiritual, in a way where I think anything could be real- but we are not ever going to truly find that out, I believe in stuff like ghosts and otherworldy things, but I also think as humans and 'mortals' we would never be able to reach a level where we would get the answers to stuff like gods and the universe. Anything is possible, but I respect whatever people believe as long as it is respectful towards me as well)

​@@estelao.b.1473stop blaming autism.

Everyone doesn't handle things the same.

Thank you for your service. I know you don't believe, but I have to say May God bless you.

I’m sorry.

So profoundly sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t believe Luke will ever be free. Thanks for watching!

I’m so sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful soul. My condolences to you and your family ❤

The problem is clearly that the parent(s) aren't like you, I, or probably most of the people watching this. Like how Luke said in the beginning (3:02) his mom would go out and party regularly and leave him home alone. I highly doubt a mom like that was paying attention to most, if anything, in his life. She probably couldn't even tell you what grade he was in.

This brings back memories of my own teenaged heartbreaks. I was dating a guy from grades 10-11 who broke up with me because he said that I was too focused on my studies and started dating one of my friends before breaking up with her and getting back with me. Only thing is that I found out one day that he never actually broke up with my friend when he got back with me and was dating me at the same time he was dating my friend. Yeah, that was an awkward confrontation since I caught him and her snogging one another in an empty classroom. My friend thought I was lying to try to break her and him up. There was drama FOR WEEKS before another one of my friends had enough and had an intervention for all three of us where she forced the guy to confess to what he had done. Looking back on it... It's all absurd. I can't actually believe that happened to me and I definitely was heartbroken over it for a bit. Now I look back on it and think of it as a learning experience. I didn't ever consider taking a weapon to school to take my revenge on my friend and my ex boyfriend.

Yeah kid was basically crying cuz a girl dumped him, I don't understand how these sociopaths expect sympathy when they consider the most miniscule slight a savage blow, it's pathetic and should be relentlessly mocked as such.

👏👏👏👏

The “difficult childhood” defense only comes up with this demographic. There are people whom have experienced all manner of mistreatment and neglect in childhood and don’t do half of what he did

@YerDaddY. Agreed.

As a fellow Michigander and a davison wrestler who competed in that gym multiple times through my childhood/high school years, I applaud your bravery. That school is absolutely huge and to not know where he was or what was happening during the events that took place had to be terrifying. Thank you for keeping those students safe and I’m glad you are still alive.

I'm sorry you and your students went through this ordeal xxx

Living in Australia I often hear comments about how we've 'given up our freedoms' and blah, blah, blah because of our strict gun laws but every Australian parent rests easy knowing that their child will never be at risk of being hurt due to gun violence in the classroom. We all feel so much pity for American parents, teachers and children who have to deal with that stuff.

@Lady1974M in the uk, we have strict gun control xx

Thank you for being here in this world

I an 64. We simply weren't exposed to gun violence that exists today. BTW why doesn't the NRA ever weigh in about the ongoing mass shootings? Hey NRA...it's a different world out there.

Naw animals ain’t shit

Right!! Im not in pearl but driving to jackson to go to work today and I gasped!

Born & raised in Brandon. This happened when I was in elementary school but I won't ever forget it

Or...you might wonder why you can listen to the murder of humans & not donate to humanitarian causes but you can't bear the thought of animals being hurt or murdered. That is just weird.

It’s not weird. It’s pretty common. I think it’s easier to sympathize with animals because they can’t disappoint like humans, much more complicated, can. So, like OP said, they seem more pure. OP isn’t weird and shouldn’t be judged. But it is something to consider and reflect on.

Exactly. If you knew a lot more context and where I'm coming from, it would make more sense.

Just FYI, I do donate time, money and products for silent auction to a LOT of human charities too. Mostly veterans since I am one as well, and community people that have found themselves in a hard time in their lives. We, the American Legion, where I live do at least 20 per year and I also do the 21 gun salute for veterans funeral ceremonies. It's more the monsters in the videos that I couldn't care less less about.

@@liliesrnice You’re assuming that those of us that don’t want to see or think of animals being tortured and killed are immune to human suffering. You couldn’t be more wrong. You need to rethink your comment and consider not judging the OP.

Not sure your psychologist knows their job very well.

I was thinking that it's probably the first time he ever told anyone what happened to him as a child. It took me until I was in my mid 50's. I cried like a baby, explaining what I went through.

⁠@@Ann-sj4ptare you a psychologist or an internet specialist ? If you are a psychologist it would be extremely interesting to read your expert opinion, if you are a “from the couch expert” then you are just being an ass.

Why would you be talking about this case to your psychologist?

It really was not a red flag back then. No one ans I mean no one ever even considered a school shooting. We drove to school with guns on gun rakes in out unlock trucks. It was a totally different world

@@karencamp741 I graduated highschool in 86 and I think anything that disturbing should of been a red flag and I grew up in DC..but I was screaming in my own way back then..just sad

@@ABeautfulMess it seriously would not have been a red flag in Mississippi. So many of us were rebellious against the up tight Christian mentality of the south. So many of us (even ones u would never expect) would meet up and play with Ouija boards and just say and do crazy shit. Shit that every teacher would say was a red flag now, but none even gave a second glance back then. And hey we all turned out fine 🙂

They might have, hence why we know about it word for word. Thats all they could do about it tho. If no one higher up wants to do anything about it
