Please don't ever skip the educational history, I learn so much that school never taught me, plus I LOVE seeing the old pictures and video clips of New York etc. All that aside, we need to start calling it the INJUSTICE System because HOW SWAY? Good behaviour my ass that should be reserved for petty criminals not murderers and rapists. It's easy to behave when there's nobody to victimize or no vices at your finger tips. You are a GEM Jose, your work is very much appreciated.
@user-rm2zk8jj9r that has nothing to do with what she stated. The system is broken. U have life criminals in street or left out or ppl that are innocent in jail. It's all messed up an only worst now
Are you kidding me? He killed 10 innocent people because he thought his wife was sleeping with Enrique? Oh yeah, because that makes total sense. This guy is absolutely insane.
@@EvilIntentions Awww, I REALLY HOPE that that isn’t the case, although I wholeheartedly believe you, you know better than I do, I just wish people would stop killing others.😢
I remember this case in1984. I was still in my teens. There were so many theories but I never thought that one single solitary man could cause all this death and grief over his belief that his wife was cheating with Enrique. He has to be one of the most cowardly, angry, hateful piece of human waste to execute 8 kids and 2 woman, 1 pregnant. He should have NEVER,EVER BEEN RELEASED FROM PRISON. He had no disciplinary reports an was a "good" prisoner? Of course he's going to be on his best behavior because the inmates knew he killed 8 children and 2 women, one pregnant. He wasn't going to be able to fight off an entire cellblock obviously. Probably went into protective custody. This man should have been left to rot in prison and not be free after 10 murders.
The fact that a man could murder two innocent women and *eight innocent children* in cold blood... and then use the fact that "he was high on cocaine" to downgrade the murder charges to manslaughter is absolutely fuggin' mind-boggling. That's the polar opposite of proper justice being served... and any/everybody who was involved in allowing that to happen is downright despicable. This was a slam-dunk death penalty case if there ever was one... meanwhile, this psychopath is back out walking the streets. Disgusting. Another phenomenal presentation, Jose. As always, thank you for sharing -- and please, keep up the amazing work, my friend!
Wow. I was taken aback by how personally this terrible crime and lost hits home. I am related to someone in the family (I prefer not to say who, for privacy reasons). When you hinted at the location with the street signs before releasing this video, I had a strong feeling you would cover this dreadful story. I shared your teaser post with them, and they confirmed it. This tragedy has left indelible scars on the family's hearts, scars that will never fully heal. To this day, my family member struggles to articulate the profound pain they continue to endure from this traumatic and incomprehensible loss. The pain is evident in their eyes whenever they are reminded of it. Justice on earth was denied, as the family saw this inhumane individual live out his sentence in prison and eventually walk free. My family member and I deeply appreciate you, your platform, your audience, and your commitment to honoring those who were lost by exposing the harsh realities of these heinous crimes and the systemic failures they highlight. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We truly value what you have done ❤
Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate you reaching out. I understand this can be shocking to see covered in such detail. I just want to always show people that these things happen and they leave a DEEP cut in these areas, and it's MUCH deeper for family who experience loss like this. If you speak to your family, please send them my condolences, and of course, my heart goes out to you as well. Thanks again, I truly appreciate your kind words.
I’m a 74 year old former Brooklynite. I remember the horror of the Palm Sunday massacre! Your video is so well researched. With a crime so outrageous as this one that monster should never have been released. Where is the justice for the victims. Him being released is just unbelievable IMHO!
My Mommy (1961) grew up in Brooklyn and lived in what she called the Brownstones. I showed her your recent community post and she knew the exact street. Thank you for talking about lesser known cases while showing utter respect to the people taken from us too soon. Thanks to the algorithm for recommending this channel. 💛 Edit: She's from Brownsville! ✌🏾
I’m a Brooklynite born and raised in Brownsville, so I remember this all too well. I was still living in BK at the time. Such a sad story. Thank you for always bringing awareness to these stories and always being respectful to the victims. I love your work!
I’ve been so into true crime videos and I must say you are so gentle when telling these victims stories thank you for sharing and being a voice for them
@@mesalily-TeHWoRldYeah and the research and effort he puts in. It feels like a real show on TV. I can no longer watch TH-cam crime channels that just show still pictures while they just talk throughout or just record themselves talking. So lazy and boring. He puts real work into his videos.
My 1st view from the poster. Just wow! The delivery, the background history, the original to location videos, and pictures representing a time frame there & throughout, along with the respect and relay of said topics by poster in this posted video, has been phenomenally brought before us. Albeit the story is indeed a horrendous one, this was an amazing delivery. Truly~ P.s. also found myself checking out Candiria 😅
I was born and raised in East NY. I remember this. My mom took me to the funeral. There was a long line just to walk through the funeral. The pregnant mom they had taken out her baby and wrapped it up and place it in her arm. I would never forget that. It was the most saddest funeral I've ever seen. Rumor was that drug dealers from Colombia did it trying to get back at husband. Very sad.
Later it was proven not to be Columbian dealers. They caught the murderer, and it wasn't his first crime. He'd beaten people up, including his poor wife, even after she got a restraining order. He had (SA) assaulted a close relative, arrested for sodomy, rape and more. After all of his previous crimes, he was imprisoned for killing ten innocent people, 2 women, one was pregnant, and 8 children, one teenager all the way down to a 3 year old. And he's been released. Why?
Omgosh you Up’d it with this one! My eyes could not leave the screen .. Firstly, thank you for the history behind Brooklyn .. Born and raised here and I learned so much of what I did not know .. The way you delivered this story with so much integrity and respect (as usual) is impeccable .. such a chilling story!! My heart goes out to the family!!!
So sad, just the thought of it being considered a house of wax is indeed terrifying. The fact that this man is out free, and has been freed so many times, just shows that this system is a damn joke.
I really appreciate the work and effort you put into each video especially adding to the context of the history behind each borough the tragic crimes are committed in. I personally feel it’s a shame if anyone watches your content but skips the introduction and added information you provide
The history is exactly why I watch his videos! I love it when channels take the time to get into the historical context behind the areas that certain crimes happen in. It actually adds to the reason some crimes happen, whether people want to admit it or not.
I’ve been a cop in a major city for 12 years. The things I’ve seen sometimes can’t be described. “Wait until you see it.!” “See what?” “What a man can do to another man” That sums it up.
My grandpa was a sergeant in bed Stuy Brooklyn for years. He was one of the first motorcycle cops. Some of the stories he told, I dunno how he slept at night.
See that sometimes makes me think my fark thought has anyone ever been sick enough to torture somebody by sticking their hands inside the gsrbage disposable before offing them. I think that is on the top up their twisted demented ways to totire kill somebody.. @@Sammythat_B
I do not understand our justice system. He killed 10 people. He should never walk as a free man. He chose to smoke that dope. He should have to reap the consequences of his actions.
The thing I love about your channel rather than other channels that cover topics like this is that you humanize the victims you go into their whole life not just the last year or so before they die you give history and perspective and you also cover stories ppl have forgotten or do not care about
There’s no words to express how much you mean to these people. How to say enough to you is beyond me. I’ve seen countless comments from families. You respect the individual cases. I really admire your dedication to remember the victims of. Always Remember To Never Forget ♥️♥️
I can't believe they released that monster after killing 10 innocent souls!! Our justice system is clearly flawed!! Thank you for covering this tragedy so respectfully. I really appreciate the history lesson explaining the history of Brooklyn. Your channel is def one of my favorites! 🕊🕊Rest in Paradise 🕊🕊 Eddie Lopez.

This is the first time I've gotten to a video so early. I cant imagine anyone not watching one of your videos in its entirety. Your work is so carefully and tastefully curated. The way you give respect to the victims and educate in history, is top tier content. Thank you so much🙏🏼
Your channel has become one of my very favorites. I admire your style of storytelling combined with your empathy and compassion. What a sad tragic crime !! 😢💔
Literally watching this sitting in Farragut with my grandmother who still resides here 😂 Now she wants me to go down the rabbit hole on your channel 😩💜 Keep up the great work
This is and was heart breaking, we must keep holding them in our hearts and minds, too often we forget about the victims and their families. Excellent work on the history if Brooklyn. I learnt much from you today.
Dude, so we'll done! Im from Jersey and just love NYC! The historical background before the incident is just spot on giving this store way more weight. New subscriber.
Jose, I dont know how you do it, but am thankful that you do. No disrespect intended, but you bring these people back to life for a short time, enough for the listener to understand the love and grief they experienced. may they rest in peace, and their loved ones find solace!
Thank you for the Brooklyn history in the beginning, I was born and raised here and I’m ashamed to say, I didn’t know any of that information. This story made me so sad!! 😞 I just think back like damn, on that day, April 15th of 1984, it was my mother’s birthday and she was pregnant with my little sister while I was only 7 months old, at the time we lived in bedstuy 😢 so close to home
As someone who was born and raised in Brooklyn I appreciate the history in the beginning. The story after is crazy. I remember it vaguely because I was small back then. You did an amazing job.
Another well-done episode from beginning to end. May that family find peace and comfort in the beautiful memories they have, they have my deepest sympathy because dude should've done the whole 250 years! I recommend everyone watch it from the beginning. What a great Brooklyn history lesson! Bravo, Mr. Ortiz👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm from Cincinnati Ohio and I'm not very aware of many of the heartbreaking stories you share. . . . . From the history of the areas, to the heart-felt introductions of the victim's and their families , the way you "show" me around their neighborhoods, the caring and concern you have for me and the rest of your fans/followers . . . . . All of these things and more are what sets you head and shoulders above other creators in this genre . . . .. Thank you very much !!!
What I most enjoy about this channel are the history lessons in the beginning. In school, one may get the generalizations of what happened in each state, but the chronicalling of Brooklyn from Before Colonization to modern day is absolutely NOT common knowledge. Thank you for the time, dedication, and care as you always do for each video ❤
I work in the shelter system and I have met Mr. Thomas personally. You wouldn’t have known the terrible things he’s done speaking with him, he is a very mild manner man.
@@drzashleyx3 the unfortunate part of it is that he served the time for crime that he was charged for. And through the brief conversation that I did have with him he even believes that he was let off lightly due to the charge being reduced to manslaughter. With the work that I do there is a moral grey area as my personal feelings may not always align with my non profit’s mission statement but I am obligated to serve these men.
@@ven-venvybz8775 is there anything of substance you have to add to the conversation? Parroting what I said is not taking away from the fact that speaking to the man you wouldn’t have known that he committed such atrocities against humanity 🤷🏾♂️
I was raised in Brooklyn and most of what was stated in the first part of this video I learned today. I moved upstate near Canada at 16 for school. I love your research and delivery of all your videos.
Love how you're respectful in your delivery of the stories of these victims. And that you don't add in corny rhetoric and biased info. Succinct and your voice is very soothing. Appreciate you!!
Sir, you have surpassed yourself! As always, having such deep respect for the victims and their families, you have kept it professional, compassionate and informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and the Astroland commercial really took me back! Thank you so much 🙏🏽 I always look forward to your videos.
Good afternoon 😊.. I ve been looking for this video since ur post yesterday. Thank u for sharing another story. Sincere prayers to the family who lost there lived ones . 😞🙏🙏🙏💓
great video I was raised in East New York in Brownsville in the 70's & 80's and I recall that horrible event that shocked most of the street guys I knew...My bro despite the terrible crimes you recall on this site your work is getting better and better with each vid production keep up the great work !
Your videos are just brilliant. The stories told with such compassion and respect for the victims and their loved ones. I also love how you weave in the history of the areas which, as a Brit I know so little about. You absolutely epitomise all that is good about TH-cam without any of the sensationalism present in so many true crime channels. Thank you 🙏
Super work today!! Thank you and grateful for your dedication to this genre in high caliber retelling of such heart rending events!! Grazie! Mimi from Montana
Props for the time stamp. Most dont do that and it results in many videos getting shut off. You'll have that sometimes when whats being discussed wasn't what the reason they clicked. So bravo sir!
I’m from Northwestern, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦, in Highschool, I took American history. I loved it. It was interesting compared to Canadian history. I love your channel as I keep learning more and more about America 🇺🇸. I love learning the history as well as the cases you cover. Please don’t change anything. You are amazing. Much love to America 🇺🇸 from Canada 🇨🇦.
You truly have a remarkable gift of sharing the memories of those taken far too soon. You share these stories with compassion, and authenticity and so respectfully. These are truly tragic events that have taken place in our world. May these beautiful, innocent people never be forgotten. Thank you also for educating me. I google map all the addresses you provide, it adds so much more reality for me. 1984 or 2024, remarkably real and the depth of sadness and senselessness, is so much more. God bless all those affected this fateful day, in 1984.
I am so glad to find a channel that doesn't use A.I. to read the story. I appreciate that you tell the case history yourself. A.I. always mispronounces so many things and it is distracting. It also takes the humanity out of it. These tragic stories need that human connection.
Amazing job Jose, I love your work!!!!! My daughter lives not too far from Hemlock and Liberty Avenues this is such a sad story. I’m born and raised in NYC and the history of each borough is rich. Thank you for the educational aspect of all your stories!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jose. 🙏🏼💪🏼💚
Thank you so much for not glossing over how these monsters are released back into the world to commit more atrocious acts. It's been a constant visceral frustration since learning about just how often it happens. Thank you for what you do!
Hello thank you for another video I love your channel.I was born and raised in Queens and I have remembered a lot of the stories.You speak with so much respect to the victims thank you.Keep up the great work you do I can watch your videos all day long.I have watched every one of your videos your amazing ❤.
I caught up on all your uploads. So glad theres a new one. Love hearing aboout New York and its history ❤ Only ever visited Manhattan. Back in 2019. Your voice is so mesmerising. Takes me back to my visit. I will never get to go back as i have terminal cancer but a memory I'll never forget. Thank you for sharing these sad stories.
What a beautifully put video. Your words, your knowledge of the city and crime, your compassion. By far one of your best videos yet. Raised in Newark. Thank you!!
i do remember this and it is very sad , rip to all 10 innocent lives , your channel is fantastic, just the way you tell the stories, excellent job on a very sad day 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Even though I don't like the long intros. I'll sit through it every video. You put a lot of work into these videos and keeping their names alive. You deserve the views and watch time.
The state of New York should absolutely be ashamed for letting this monster back out on the streets. I don't care if he's an old man or not. The fact that he killed 10 people, which 8 were children and didn't actually have to spend the rest of his life in prison is effing unbelievable!!
During the 80's, there was still a lot of police corruption in NY City & drug crimes were maybe not processed as they should have been. In some ways criminal investigations were still in their infancy (we're still fine tuning them today). Yes, we had detectives & theories, crime scene investigations, finger prints & blood spatters but no DNA, forensic profiling, blood spatter analysis, etc. Now, we have a better understanding of crime scenes, securing evidence, profiling & even interviewing witnesses & suspects. But even today, not all police departments handle criminal nvestigations the same & vital information gets lost. That being said, I would assume if this crime happened today someone would point out that not only did the perpetrator come armed with a gun but a gun with a silencer which easily indicates premeditation & therefore first degree murder charges should have been enforced. Also, second degree charges or manslaughter would have been added for the death of the unborn child. Lastly, has anyone ever explained how he was able to kill them all in situ?
I love New York and I just love your history lessons. Just joined your channel as you deserve thousands more subs here and will have it soon enough. It’s a perfect marriage. History, crime and your compassion is a rarity. Keep up the great work.
You are absolutely wonderful with what you do with these stories and the details you provide! Seriously! Love watching your channel and always feel like I have learned something after.Thank you 😊
Senseless 😞 & even more that he was actually released. I can’t imagine that mother’s pain & the pain of everyone that had to go on without their loved ones or the confusion that the survivor went through after finding out how her mother & siblings passed away. Thankful that her grandparents & that police officer stepped up for her. Thank you for sharing their story & for that bit of history in the beginning. The part about Coney Island brought back so many memories. The cyclone was the first roller coaster I ever rode. RIP to all the victims & my heart goes out to all of their loved ones ❤️🙏🏽
INSANE! All that previous criminal history, acquitted of multiple murders, clearly is insanely violent and has a long pattern to prove it. How the hell was manslaughter even an option for the 10?????? Mind blowing! And he's even out on parole?!?! Good grief they surely dropped the ball on every crime this man committed. You receive longer sentences for selling drugs then being a mass and serial killer. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and communities of these victims, may they rest in peace. Thank you, Jose, for your hard work and for telling these tragic stories, letting the victims still with a voice. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
It’s like they allow the monsters and demonic entities free constantly just a few years here and there in jail and then they are free again to commit more works for the devils in power …how this creature got away with killing a dozen people is beyond me 😖😣 RIP TO ALL OF THEM
Because his attorney and others who knew him claimed he was " under the drugs he used ". Then because of the law he had to only serve 2/3 of his sentence And his attorney said it would cost the state money for elder care. He is on 17 years of parole. He did something bad to his mom after he unalived th women and children. He was violent evil man
I love this channel. I'm glad I found it. I was born and raised in the Bronx and appreciate the education you give on all these surrounding neighborhoods. Keep doing what you're doing bro 🇵🇷
The detailed description and history of the locations is important to your stories. My favorite part of your videos. I especially like the archival footage. Please don’t stop. Thank you for the work you do.
You definitely got my attention when it comes to the truth and compassion so when you're doing one for the Happy Land killing in The Bronx please keep me posted and thanks
I appreciate the hard work and effort you put in all the videos. Sharing these for us to see and to learn from it. I now take precautions in all am doing.thanks so much.
This man is a menace to society! Why were his past crimes not considered when he was sentenced? This is sickening. R.I.P to all of the innocent victims 😢💐 (thank you for the articles, pictures and correct name spellings 💖)
WOW this is a great video! Very terrible story, those poor children, it's heartbreaking. I live in New Zealand, I really appreciated your history of Brooklyn. Keep up the great work.
I learned more in those 12 minutes about Brooklyn than I ever knew. Thank you!
I said the same thing. Very educational
This
Right
Same.
Same here

It really makes absolutely no sense.

I agree with you. Best True Crime channel on TH-cam in my opinion. I believe it's the history he explains and the compassion he has for the victims.
@@mesalily-TeHWoRld yes it is
Compassion is something we are short of lately. It seems to have been replaced by Indifference and Intolerance.

I’m genuinely blown away that you can kill 10 people and get out of jail for it. That’s genuinely WILD. Like WHO WAS HIS LAWYER?!?!
Somebody highly connected
It’s people in jail for life for drugs that says a lot about our justice system
And how does a Lawyer live with themselves knowing they basically got this monster off knowing that he really did it ? Smdh
Exactly

His previous crimes prior to murdering women and 8 children, should've been enough to keep him off the streets.

People get life for much less.
This is the first time I've gotten to a video so early. I cant imagine anyone not watching one of your videos in its entirety. Your work is so carefully and tastefully curated. The way you give respect to the victims and educate in history, is top tier content. Thank you so much🙏🏼
I'm only 12 mins in and I feel like I'm going to walk away with more knowledge than I did from my time spent in public school 😂 good work!
You did a great job,covering this tragic case.....may all the victims RIP🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Thank you! May they always rest!
The way you explain and tell stories is so surreal. You truly have a special gift from God! Don’t stop sharing that! God bless!
Your channel has become one of my very favorites. I admire your style of storytelling combined with your empathy and compassion. What a sad tragic crime !! 😢💔
I don't know why YT didn't lead me to you sooner, but I'm glad I found you. Thank you for all your hard work.
Your videos are sooooo worth the wait. Thanks for this latest installment👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for watching!
Literally watching this sitting in Farragut with my grandmother who still resides here 😂 Now she wants me to go down the rabbit hole on your channel 😩💜 Keep up the great work
This is and was heart breaking, we must keep holding them in our hearts and minds, too often we forget about the victims and their families. Excellent work on the history if Brooklyn. I learnt much from you today.
Dude, so we'll done! Im from Jersey and just love NYC! The historical background before the incident is just spot on giving this store way more weight. New subscriber.
Excellent video. Watched every minute of it. That poor family! It is a shame that the man was released.
Jose, I dont know how you do it, but am thankful that you do. No disrespect intended, but you bring these people back to life for a short time, enough for the listener to understand the love and grief they experienced. may they rest in peace, and their loved ones find solace!
Thank you for the Brooklyn history in the beginning, I was born and raised here and I’m ashamed to say, I didn’t know any of that information. This story made me so sad!! 😞 I just think back like damn, on that day, April 15th of 1984, it was my mother’s birthday and she was pregnant with my little sister while I was only 7 months old, at the time we lived in bedstuy 😢 so close to home
As someone who was born and raised in Brooklyn I appreciate the history in the beginning. The story after is crazy. I remember it vaguely because I was small back then. You did an amazing job.
Another well-done episode from beginning to end. May that family find peace and comfort in the beautiful memories they have, they have my deepest sympathy because dude should've done the whole 250 years! I recommend everyone watch it from the beginning. What a great Brooklyn history lesson! Bravo, Mr. Ortiz👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm from Cincinnati Ohio and I'm not very aware of many of the heartbreaking stories you share. . . . . From the history of the areas, to the heart-felt introductions of the victim's and their families , the way you "show" me around their neighborhoods, the caring and concern you have for me and the rest of your fans/followers . . . . .
All of these things and more are what sets you head and shoulders above other creators in this genre . . . .. Thank you very much !!!
As a Brooklyn girl I can relate Thanks for shareing👍🏻
What I most enjoy about this channel are the history lessons in the beginning. In school, one may get the generalizations of what happened in each state, but the chronicalling of Brooklyn from Before Colonization to modern day is absolutely NOT common knowledge. Thank you for the time, dedication, and care as you always do for each video ❤
I work in the shelter system and I have met Mr. Thomas personally. You wouldn’t have known the terrible things he’s done speaking with him, he is a very mild manner man.
He should’ve never been let out, omg
@@drzashleyx3 the unfortunate part of it is that he served the time for crime that he was charged for. And through the brief conversation that I did have with him he even believes that he was let off lightly due to the charge being reduced to manslaughter. With the work that I do there is a moral grey area as my personal feelings may not always align with my non profit’s mission statement but I am obligated to serve these men.
Mild manner 😮😮
The shenanigans
@@ven-venvybz8775 is there anything of substance you have to add to the conversation? Parroting what I said is not taking away from the fact that speaking to the man you wouldn’t have known that he committed such atrocities against humanity 🤷🏾♂️
Idc if he was a model citizen? Are you serious😮
I was raised in Brooklyn and most of what was stated in the first part of this video I learned today. I moved upstate near Canada at 16 for school. I love your research and delivery of all your videos.
Your channel is so professionally done. I could watch one of your documentaries if it went on for 4 hours!
Agree
Love how you're respectful in your delivery of the stories of these victims. And that you don't add in corny rhetoric and biased info. Succinct and your voice is very soothing. Appreciate you!!
Born & raised in Brooklyn & I appreciated that part of our history, - condolences to the families 💐
Sir, you have surpassed yourself! As always, having such deep respect for the victims and their families, you have kept it professional, compassionate and informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and the Astroland commercial really took me back! Thank you so much 🙏🏽 I always look forward to your videos.
Good afternoon 😊.. I ve been looking for this video since ur post yesterday. Thank u for sharing another story. Sincere prayers to the family who lost there lived ones . 😞🙏🙏🙏💓
great video I was raised in East New York in Brownsville in the 70's & 80's and I recall that horrible event that shocked most of the street guys I knew...My bro despite the terrible crimes you recall on this site your work is getting better and better with each vid production keep up the great work !
Your videos are just brilliant. The stories told with such compassion and respect for the victims and their loved ones. I also love how you weave in the history of the areas which, as a Brit I know so little about. You absolutely epitomise all that is good about TH-cam without any of the sensationalism present in so many true crime channels. Thank you 🙏
Super work today!! Thank you and grateful for your dedication to this genre in high caliber retelling of such heart rending events!! Grazie!

I live in Brooklyn, my whole life. Born in the Bronx. I remember this senseless tragedy like it was yesterday.
Spectacular in your presentation, and how you kept the highest of Respect throughout. Well done. Thank You for this presentation. 👍💯
I appreciate your style of oration, the historical perspective you always take time to educate your audience to. Your program is amazing.
As a native NYer, I really appreciate your history lessons about the state❤ of
Props for the time stamp. Most dont do that and it results in many videos getting shut off. You'll have that sometimes when whats being discussed wasn't what the reason they clicked. So bravo sir!
I’m from Northwestern, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦, in Highschool, I took American history. I loved it. It was interesting compared to Canadian history. I love your channel as I keep learning more and more about America 🇺🇸. I love learning the history as well as the cases you cover. Please don’t change anything. You are amazing. Much love to America 🇺🇸 from Canada 🇨🇦.
You truly have a remarkable gift of sharing the memories of those taken far too soon. You share these stories with compassion, and authenticity and so respectfully. These are truly tragic events that have taken place in our world. May these beautiful, innocent people never be forgotten. Thank you also for educating me. I google map all the addresses you provide, it adds so much more reality for me. 1984 or 2024, remarkably real and the depth of sadness and senselessness, is so much more. God bless all those affected this fateful day, in 1984.
Thank you for the way you gentley tell these horrible stories. Bless your soul!
No, it's not justice. Thank you for sharing this. Hugs to all.
The history you tell is a bonus that had me hooked... keep up the good work ❤
The back ground , history of each story you tell is so appreciated .
I am so glad to find a channel that doesn't use A.I. to read the story. I appreciate that you tell the case history yourself. A.I. always mispronounces so many things and it is distracting. It also takes the humanity out of it. These tragic stories need that human connection.
What a marvelous presentation. I've just come across this site and find it absolutely worth viewing. Subscribed!
Amazing job Jose, I love your work!!!!! My daughter lives not too far from Hemlock and Liberty Avenues this is such a sad story. I’m born and raised in NYC and the history of each borough is rich. Thank you for the educational aspect of all your stories!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jose. 🙏🏼💪🏼💚
Thank you so much for not glossing over how these monsters are released back into the world to commit more atrocious acts. It's been a constant visceral frustration since learning about just how often it happens. Thank you for what you do!
Hello thank you for another video I love your channel.I was born and raised in Queens and I have remembered a lot of the stories.You speak with so much respect to the victims thank you.Keep up the great work you do I can watch your videos all day long.I have watched every one of your videos your amazing ❤.
Thank you so much for the time you put into researching all of these horrific crimes. Continued prayers for the victims and their families.
I caught up on all your uploads. So glad theres a new one. Love hearing aboout New York and its history ❤ Only ever visited Manhattan. Back in 2019. Your voice is so mesmerising. Takes me back to my visit. I will never get to go back as i have terminal cancer but a memory I'll never forget. Thank you for sharing these sad stories.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for another tough to watch but necessary to be told story. Fantastic video as usual.
Very respectfully presented. I appreciated the historical overview too.
What a beautifully put video. Your words, your knowledge of the city and crime, your compassion. By far one of your best videos yet. Raised in Newark. Thank you!!
Thank you for these stories... i appreicate all your time and efforts.. youre one of the best TH-camrs
i do remember this and it is very sad , rip to all 10 innocent lives , your channel is fantastic, just the way you tell the stories, excellent job on a very sad day 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I remembered this sad day I was only 14 and lived only a few blocks from there. The community was horrified. May they all continue to R?I.P❤😢
Even though I don't like the long intros. I'll sit through it every video. You put a lot of work into these videos and keeping their names alive. You deserve the views and watch time.
The state of New York should absolutely be ashamed for letting this monster back out on the streets. I don't care if he's an old man or not. The fact that he killed 10 people, which 8 were children and didn't actually have to spend the rest of his life in prison is effing unbelievable!!
During the 80's, there was still a lot of police corruption in NY City & drug crimes were maybe not processed as they should have been. In some ways criminal investigations were still in their infancy (we're still fine tuning them today). Yes, we had detectives & theories, crime scene investigations, finger prints & blood spatters but no DNA, forensic profiling, blood spatter analysis, etc. Now, we have a better understanding of crime scenes, securing evidence, profiling & even interviewing witnesses & suspects. But even today, not all police departments handle criminal nvestigations the same & vital information gets lost. That being said, I would assume if this crime happened today someone would point out that not only did the perpetrator come armed with a gun but a gun with a silencer which easily indicates premeditation & therefore first degree murder charges should have been enforced. Also, second degree charges or manslaughter would have been added for the death of the unborn child.
Lastly, has anyone ever explained how he was able to kill them all in situ?
The history is perfect.. I'm new to this channel and need the history to have an understanding of the content. Bravo!!!!
This was worth waiting for like always!
Thank you!!
I love New York and I just love your history lessons. Just joined your channel as you deserve thousands more subs here and will have it soon enough. It’s a perfect marriage. History, crime and your compassion is a rarity. Keep up the great work.
I'm from NY and never knew 85% of this information. Very informative, thank you 🙏🏼
Your voice is very soothing….awesome channel. The way you bring life to the victims is well received
That’s insane they let a serial killer killer out of prison
You are absolutely wonderful with what you do with these stories and the details you provide! Seriously! Love watching your channel and always feel like I have learned something after.Thank you 😊
Senseless 😞 & even more that he was actually released. I can’t imagine that mother’s pain & the pain of everyone that had to go on without their loved ones or the confusion that the survivor went through after finding out how her mother & siblings passed away. Thankful that her grandparents & that police officer stepped up for her. Thank you for sharing their story & for that bit of history in the beginning. The part about Coney Island brought back so many memories. The cyclone was the first roller coaster I ever rode. RIP to all the victims & my heart goes out to all of their loved ones ❤️🙏🏽
Again Thank you for telling these stories with so much compassion & respect for all the victims!
Excellent historical references. Well done.
INSANE! All that previous criminal history, acquitted of multiple murders, clearly is insanely violent and has a long pattern to prove it. How the hell was manslaughter even an option for the 10?????? Mind blowing! And he's even out on parole?!?! Good grief they surely dropped the ball on every crime this man committed. You receive longer sentences for selling drugs then being a mass and serial killer.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and communities of these victims, may they rest in peace.
Thank you, Jose, for your hard work and for telling these tragic stories, letting the victims still with a voice.
🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you! It really made no sense how he got away with this. There's no amount of time anyone could serve to justify a crime so callous.
It’s like they allow the monsters and demonic entities free constantly just a few years here and there in jail and then they are free again to commit more works for the devils in power …how this creature got away with killing a dozen people is beyond me 😖😣 RIP TO ALL OF THEM
Because his attorney and others who knew him claimed he was " under the drugs he used ". Then because of the law he had to only serve 2/3 of his sentence And his attorney said it would cost the state money for elder care. He is on 17 years of parole. He did something bad to his mom after he unalived th women and children. He was violent evil man
Probably 65% of crimes committed have drugs involved some hiw@@MagpieAnnie73
@@MagpieAnnie73He looks evil and violent.
I am so impressed by the videos you produce. Extremely well done.
FYI I love the information at the beginning of each video. Keep that in. It paints the story
Thank you!
I love this channel. I'm glad I found it. I was born and raised in the Bronx and appreciate the education you give on all these surrounding neighborhoods. Keep doing what you're doing bro 🇵🇷
This is absolutely awful. I cannot imagine that kind of pain. My heart goes out to all of them.
May they all rest easy.
The detailed description and history of the locations is important to your stories. My favorite part of your videos. I especially like the archival footage. Please don’t stop. Thank you for the work you do.
You definitely got my attention when it comes to the truth and compassion so when you're doing one for the Happy Land killing in The Bronx please keep me posted and thanks
It's been here since last year. Its tagged at the end of this video. Enjoy! Thank you for the love!
I appreciate the hard work and effort you put in all the videos. Sharing these for us to see and to learn from it. I now take precautions in all am doing.thanks so much.
This man is a menace to society! Why were his past crimes not considered when he was sentenced? This is sickening.
R.I.P to all of the innocent victims 😢💐
(thank you for the articles, pictures and correct name spellings 💖)
Once again, you did that! Your research and narration is top tier!
I remember this very well. My grandfather, aunties, and cousins lived on Ocean Ave. Still so very sad 😢
WOW this is a great video! Very terrible story, those poor children, it's heartbreaking. I live in New Zealand, I really appreciated your history of Brooklyn. Keep up the great work.
Always love when you upload... so so sad..
