This is a master class in de-escalation and properly handling someone in a mental health crisis. The judge is a hero for handling this in the way she did.
The judge is doing a masterful job, no doubt. But I don’t see a mental health crisis. At least not the crisis he’s claiming. I see a calculated manipulator, likely a covert narcissist/victim narcissist. People like him can certainly have a breakdown when they’re unable to get their way and face actual consequences. But this isn’t what he wants us to think it is
A master class on listening to a total JOKE and a 5 year old could see that. Mike is like totally soaking this BULLSH_T up. The dude just doesn't want to act like a man and do what he knows needs to be done!
At 1:16 into the video. Retired mental health crisis worker here, watching spun me right back into it. Risk and Impressions: Doesn’t want to die, knows all the therapy trigger words, probably highly skilled at manipulating therapists, after years of practice. Risk high for accidental suicidal, more likely to try an attempt and mentally foggy enough to misjudge time to be rescued. Highly intelligent, enough to be able to shade his statements to his desired emotion. Working hard to manage initial mania, rate of speech and ideas flow very fast at times. He said “I will do anything to avoid jail, anything.” And then does almost every form of emotional manipulation, with an expansive vocabulary. Glad the judge is engaging him while having help search for him. Definitely candidate for involuntary commitment evaluation. His ability to deploy manipulative techniques doesn’t negate his need for help. Agreed, not the judge’s call to make (end of video 1 comment). Also good to see your compassionate side, even while the guy is irritating af, and don’t know how much is just symptoms. And his dry sarcasm is not unusual for a mental health break for his personality type. I am shy, been watching for years, never felt any need to comment before. But this guy… And yes I remember his first flirtatious video, couldn’t tell if he was high, ill, off meds, stressed beyond his ability to cope, but red flags were all waving in his whirlwind. Now on to the second half. Thank you.
A tough watch, but a worthy watch... I appreciate it. Alternately instructive and strange, but I think we probably see small bits of ourselves, people we've met, people we've never met, in all the people there. Super helpful.
Thank you for YOUR SERVICe! I can't IMAGINE THE THIS YOU HEAR AND THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE SPOKE TO ETC!! You have to be a strong person to be in your job!!!😊

@@soulfly_ptjcI definitely agree, but there was a small chance he would’ve acted and hurt himself/someone else, so it was the right call to keep him talking.

@@kitkatt007 yes! She did exactly what most of us moms would’ve done! Let him talk and ask questions! He wanted it to be alllll about him! And it definitely was!
@@Tha_G0atabsolutely not. Any other judge would have charged contempt and kept the warrant. She spent 2 hours doing something she didn't have to. You sound hurt. A lot of judges didn't treat you with arms wide open? Tfoh 😂😂😂😂
I work for a drug court program and had a similar situation years ago with a client who was suicidal, paranoid and agitated. I had been working with him for about 6 months and he was stable, did not even report any mental health concerns to us, He took a very fast turn, also reported he had a gun. Fortunately he called from a land line at his apartment and we had caller ID. The EMS and police got there pretty fast, didn't need a warrant beause it was handled as a medical emergency. Even that relatively brief call of 25-30 minutes was exhausting. Judge Santos had a real marathon and managed to keep cool throughout. Amazing work! My client went to a mental health court program but never fully stabilized. He ended up in prison and since release has had multiple run-ins with the law. There has got to be a better way to help people with mental health struggles!
The fact that he stayed on the call the whole time even after it was obvious she was stalling, had to be because the attention he was getting with an audience was too captivating to pass up
Absolutely what I said. The narcissism was just excited for the audience, apparently to the point it kept him from recognizing, or caring? Or maybe he was just so cocky he thought they wouldn't find him???
That or he honestly thought he could manipulate his way to a behavioral unit vs jail. I have managed to stay out of prison but some behavioral units can be pretty bad. Especially if there against your will =\
Lmao never mind. Nah, there is def rampant narcissism thinking this ends any other way then taken into custody. I thought at first just manipulative - but then the evangelical part started (thats just a time code reference). He goes waaay off the rails from "manipulative yo avoid prison" and "truly suicidal". He went down the "super narcissism fueled delusions" rabbit hole.
Maybe many lives. He seems so unstable. I’m so glad she was willing to take time to do this today. She could have just let him be and went about her day!
No she didn’t. This dude is a liar. He only talked about harming himself when mail came up. He’s got some pedo history I’ll bet anything. He was waaaay too scared to go to lock up. He knew what was coming. The people in this thread, praising the judge and feeling bad for dude are SUCKERS! If you can’t see that manipulation from a mile away, you’re naive.
Idk. I feel like a year was shaved off of mine just for listening to this blowhard for so long. He’s manipulative. Says he’ll do “anything to stay out of jail” but breaks all the conditions to do just that. Makes demands about what he will and will not do. Has broken the law in multiple states. Whines about his “wife” but only talks about his CHILD in passing. Was condescending to his own attorney to the point that the attorney just flat out stopped trying bc nothing he was gonna say to this dude would be correct or helpful in his own delusional world. He won’t wear a tether, which would keep him out of jail, bc it “hurts his ankle” and would ruin his planned out of state camping trip/spiritual journey. Dude is a clown. Manipulative. Intelligent and knows what he’s doing.
This channel is so freaking awesome. I need treatment for my addiction to this channel. And shout out to his attorney Christopher Shemke. I was a criminal defense attorney and prosecutor in California and this attorney was insanely smart and quick on his feet as an advocate for his client. If you get in trouble in Michigan, have this attorney in speed dial. He is an amazing advocate.
His adrenaline is probably spiking and dropping and then he fight the exhaustion. It hunk the longest it scan sustain you is 20 minutes. It has to be grueling to sit there and hear this and just have to stay stoic.
@Itsthatoneguy371 accurate. I am treated for anxiety attacks. My brain dumps adrenaline randomly that puts me into panic attacks. 20 mins for the attack and then soon after I am absolutely exhausted. Meds help so much. I can't imagine that someone that doesn't go through that a lot could resist. Gotta take a knee for the long run and get to the end.
Massive massive respect to judge DISanto for listening all so she could get him arrested and taken care of,he wouldn't kill himself but how many judges would sit through over 3 hrs with this guy is astonishing huge respect to do that I bet any other judge would have just put a warrant out and moved on 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Exactly. I work with prisoners and if the system led with compassion instead of shame, we could change this country (and this doesn’t mean forgetting punishment). If judges, POs, and COs were more compassionate as they upheld the law, people would more inclined to change. Have you ever tried to convince someone to do something whilst insulting them? It never works. But if you relate and empathize with them, you’re much more likely to convince them to do what you’re asking. All we want as humans is to be heard, understood, and accepted. The behavior studies we do tells us that shame is essentially the poison of society, and in the years I’ve worked with murderers and the like, I believe it wholeheartedly. This man CAN be helped and I couldn’t love this judge more for doing so. Bravo!!!
I was a mental health nurse. I’ve had to handle many calls from suicidal/homicidal people. It is so hard to keep them talking long enough to get help to them. It’s a hard call for law enforcement to know exactly how to get to them as safely as possible. When I handled one of these calls, there was an adrenaline rush that was almost overwhelming. Many times I would just go to a quiet room and cry. It’s a sad situation and you never know if you actually helped someone. Every life has a purpose. This brings back a flood emotions. When you mentioned his attorney remaining quiet, that was helpful because getting to many people trying to talk someone down creates an overwhelming situation. We always had one person who would try to talk someone down.
Wow! He started out with full-on real narcissism and then dove headfirst into the rabbit hole. The judge earned a badge today. They should get hazard duty pay.
Mike I have never seen you so serious, focused and compelled to stay to the end and see he was in good hands. I was on the edge of my chair watching the judge handle a very serious situation. Saved his life today.
@@andrewgaughan6418 the definition is "The idea is that you're talking to the person at a crucial juncture, where what you say and do might affect the decision they make."
Safe??????????????? She knew he was scamming with the suicide bullchit..............Come one............Don't play this woman for stupid..................He is a NPD scammer
As a former therapist, I’ll tell you, she has mad skills. I can only hope any other judge who runs into something like this will have the patience and ability to switch on dime.
She was very good. The amount of times Mike kept not understanding why this guy wasn't catching on clearly enough was enough to turn into a deadly drinking game though.
SKILLS????? MAD SKILLS??? NO WONDER YOU SAY "FORMER THERAPIST". WRITING THE ENTIRE TIME, AND ACTING LIKE YOU GIVE A S**T ABOUT SOMEONE IS NOT HAVING "MAD SKILLS". WHO SAYS THAT ANYWAY. ARE YOU 14?
What a sad situation. She HAD to send them. I hope he gets the help he so clearly needs. It was heartwarming to see how the judge handled it all even clearing the schedule to allow him time to talk and to get assets in place, not just to 'get him' but to get him help.
@@drn13355 Even so, once those claims were made, the Judge had to do what she did. I used to work on a suicide line, and his thought patterns are familiar to me and could very well be legit. He could also be manipulating. The judge is not in a position to make that call. Her reactions and actions were 100% correct.
A sad situation but uplifting to see so much humanity displayed, the goodness of humanity! Really shows that there is mercy along with justice in our courts.
We all saw a different side to judge DiSanto today, and no one could have done any better than she did! 100% amazing! And I feel for this dude, he is very unwell and I hope he gets the help he needs.
Starting at 4:00 it shows more and more that he is a covert narcissist. Around 4:50 he says, ya know I could have been a lawyer, but I was too poor. i.e. I’m as smart as all of you AND it is everyone else’s fault that I’m not a lawyer or a judge. 😢Keep listening after that there are more examples. 💜
I'm a nurse since 2001 and this man is clearly having a manic episode. Obviously brought on by the unforeseen jail sentence. I fear he truly believed he wasn't getting any time. This is so serious. Not only self deleting but other human deleting could happen.
I’m an RN as well, since 2005 and I have to disagree about the “unforeseen jail sentence”. He knew darn well that he’d go to jail if he was non-compliant with the court ordered drug testing and he refused to be placed on a tether which ALSO would’ve kept him out of jail. So there is nothing unforeseen about that. I do think he’s manipulative as all get out and I don’t believe he’s that scared of traumatized by his jail time. If so, he’d have done what he was supposed to do. He’s also broken laws in multiple states. This isn’t new to him.
Idk if exhausting is the word I'd use. Hopelessness and loneliness is exhausting. This guy is simply reaching out for human connection and he'll take anything he can get. It's sad. Hopelessness is the most destructive force on Earth.
I don’t agree. It’s sad,yeah. Sad that he can MANIPULATE🙃 an entire court session to spotlight his issues w/o a thought to the others that are having to sit thru this. 🤬 How can the judge believe a single thought in his ‘ repertoire of ridiculous ideas’ ,and him, constantly segwaying into a mishmash of 🤮verbal vomit. The moon means months? @ 12:18. He claims pharmaceutical means 𝙎𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙮? 😂 No bird brain,it means (according to wiki,google,etc,) “From pharmaceutic + -al, from Latin pharmaceuticus (“of drugs”), from Ancient Greek φαρμακευτικός (pharmakeutikós, “drug maker”).” This indicates he’s 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩. 😎 Not crazy. 🤪 So manipulative I had to double check my knowledge,questioning my own belief, erroneous. Using his intelligence , not for good, 😇but for “bad” & to 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙥𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙢 ,in order to get what he wants. Probably been doing this his entire life, so,he very proficient at what he does . So much so,he’s bored by it.🥱 Needs a swift kick in his “sᴇʟғ ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ” ASS.
That word is used way too easily…. Anytime someone doesn’t like someone’s did you not see the part where they talk about his Bi Polar? Everything he is doing here is classic mania, several psych professionals have commented the same.
The judge was awesome. His attorney was also amazing as well. The client doesn’t realize it but he was there for him throughout this entire ordeal. He went off screen a few times but I’m guessing it was to speak on the phone with the proper authorities behind the scenes so that they could get to him.
Someone very close to me has bipolar and when he is in a state, he talks exactly like this guy. In the previous video he said he had been diagnosed bipolar and this makes a lot of sense. Good job to this judge! She did great!
I’m bipolar myself, I’d like to consider myself an intelligent person, But a manic episode is torture- 1 episode lasted 3 months. My chosen sisters got me to call my psychiatrist to adjust my medication. A manic episode is different for everyone.

Unfortunately being a combat veteran I've spent time in the VA Psych ward and I've come across this before. All though they may be articulate there articulation bounces around from one point to another that is based around them being the martyr
Thank you Mike for showing this stream all the way through, from beginning to end. I also appreciate you showing us your softer, more compassionate side. Your Ukrainian friend, Tatiana
I’m so glad that I didn’t see this one first, but saw the hearing where we got all the background. I hope that those who watched this one first go and watch the preceding one. You will understand much more of what was going on with with him, the judge and his lawyer. The judge did an incredible job and I hope she gets some counselling herself, she would be mentally drained. We need to see these serious ones occasionally to comprehend what’s really going on with people caught up in the justice system. Please Mike, we need a good laugh after this. ❤❤
The poor guy who logged off last. I have to admit it made me chuckle. Stayed on in the background like he was watching a movie! Wow! The whole case was amazing and prayers that the guy got the help he needed.
That first guy is the epitome of sucking the air out of a group. He 100% si the guy that shows up and literally only talks about himself and tries telling horrible jokes while never listening to anyone else, thinking he's the coolest, funniest, smartest guy ever.
Thank you for putting this on here. This is real life and it was so educational to see how everyone handled it. They did an awesome job and deserve credit for the time they all took to help this man and keep everyone safe.
Sadly I completely understand what this man is going thru! When my husband passed away in 2011 i went into a mental crisis just like this! God bless him and god bless this judge for seeing it! And not giving judgement but help!
It’s hard to watch because I can relate to the depression… but I can’t relate to the *blaming the courts.* The most heartbreaking part so far for me (half way through part 2) was in part 1 where he talked about fearing the other inmates. ••• Many of whom can’t afford the kind of therapists, lawyers, child care etc he could. So seeing a guy who probably received a lighter sentence than them *complaining about how he doesn’t deserve to be there* I’M SURE WAS SCARY FOR HIM and aggravating for them (regardless of age or race). 🤷🏻♂️
Watching replay. That was so intense. My god, I’m so glad they found him. I lost my brother to suicide and this was just awful that he was having a breakdown. ❤
Excellent job Judge. During our training in suicide prevention training, we were taught to keep person talking and keep them off the subject of their intent till help arrives. Ive been in couple of successful cases where getting them talking gave me enough time to get police on the scene. Then it was talking them into getting off the bridge wall and accepting the help.
Darlene Houston I would really recommend not commenting on the subject’s Facebook profile while the police are on their way to get him. It could’ve definitely made it extremely dangerous for the officers and even Anthony. To give him your phone number on a public platform is extremely weird. You do not know this man.
If he was 'bout it 'bout it, he would disconnect. Even if he is talking about leaving town, he would hang up and leave. He loves to hear himself talk and loves that she has to listen.
@ylloh3334 he was diagnosed with bipolar and other things I can't remember. He is much better now because he is taking his meds. It was scary the things he would say. I'm thankful he is better.
His grandiosity reminds me of my Bi-polar nephew he say meds are awful and he will never take them again. OK. So you’ve been on illegal drugs, jail, and lost your children. But you stood firm.
That was a ride. Kudos to the Judge for paying attention, hearing his need and sticking with such a difficult to keep going conversation whilst help was organised.
I was actually gripping my hands during this hearing. As a nurse I care deeply about people and their emotional state. I pray he will get the help he needs. Really sad to have a mental illness or actually several in his case. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
He acknowledges, the first step...engaging in mental health treatment is challenging, it requires a deep dive within introspection, believe it or not our egos often don't want us to go there, it's a painful process. Until we have a clear understanding of ourselves, seeking answers externally can simply create more chaos. Kudo's to Judge DiSanto and Shemke! And thanks for sharing this Mike...
Nahh, he just wants to do his own DIY 'mental health' treatment and call it a day, or find a 'very special' counsellor (read 'someone who won't push back against my bullshit').
I 100 percent argee. So many people with mental illness ego come in the way of getting treatment and so many are stuck in the stage of denial. Have schizophrenic family members. Ive seen it.
@@funstuff2006 I'm game...Within a single statement, a sentence long. Ya castin' dirt and judgement, okay. The most telling pronouncement of all, you exclaimed your own BS. Just sayin...comments on a YT channel? Askin' ...will it ever help you , personally face, let alone treat your own BS ego kindly, to heal the slings and arrows...We all ask for help one way another, to do so in a yt comment? About as DYI as it comes.
This was fascinating, Mike. I’m so glad they found out where he was and got to him before he harmed himself or anyone else. I’m hoping they do a thorough mental health evaluation on him, and that whoever does that eval gets a heads up on what happened at this hearing. This man is intelligent and will change his story to fit what he perceives the circumstances to be…which may delay proper treatment if the evaluator doesn’t see through it. I don’t know what “Dickerson” is, whether they only handle misdemeanor defendants there? It saddens me that this man will be in Wayne County Jail, mixing in with much more hardened folks. I wish our judicial system and society in general handled mental health and substance abuse issues better. Jail doesn’t fix those, except in rare cases. I think we could reduce recidivism, costing taxpayers less in the long run. Many aren’t ready to accept the treatment they need, but we should make it available where it can make a difference. Not sure whether this man is bipolar, has schizophrenia, or what…but there’s more going on in there than simple manipulativeness IMO. Judge DiSanto is a hero 🙌💯🎉
Dickerson is a facility that has 896 bed capacity (instead of the 3000 at most detention centers) and employs direct supervision ... which means: "Direct supervision jails focus on actively managing inmate behavior to produce a jail that is safe and secure for inmates, staff, and visitors. Staff interact continuously with inmates in the housing units, actively supervising them to identify problems in their early stages." So I imagine it's the safest place for him to be to also get help.
I share your hopes and relief. His meta communication (not threats or statements but HOW he says unrelated innocuous things) says active self threat, wherein even 3 days is useful just for delay. At least in jail he gets the added benefit of any help at all, which is way more than a 72 hr hold.
Wow, Dickerson sounds interesting. I’m curious about relative outcomes vs. other institutions with similar populations, and relative costs. And I agree about the “self-threat” meta-communication. I didn’t know how to put it into words, but he definitely seemed “off.” I just rewatched Mike’s 2-month-old video of his initial appearance. He looks and acts SO differently now. Still very self-important and (mostly) polite, but much less in touch with reality. Wishing him all the best 💐
American prisons are horrible and inhumane. They won't fix mental health problems. If he ends up there again without proper treatment first they will have to have him on suicidewatch the whole time. It will break him. He needs a good therapist, not just medication.
Two things. 1 - I'm grateful that the judge listened, as someone with similar chemistry I know how frustrating it can be for someone to never get a chance to talk and really be heard. It's very refreshing once it's all out. BUT.... 2 - he is gonna harbor so much resentment once he figures out she wasn't actually trying to listen she was just trying to hold him in one spot until they could get authorities there. I feel for the dude.
The guy waiting for his case to be heard should just get time served after this.
I agree

He should probably be paid restitution 😅
Yea 👏👏

This is such a great example of when Judges go above and beyond to help. I have so much respect for Judge DiSanto.
I work for a drug court program and had a similar situation years ago with a client who was suicidal, paranoid and agitated. I had been working with him for about 6 months and he was stable, did not even report any mental health concerns to us, He took a very fast turn, also reported he had a gun. Fortunately he called from a land line at his apartment and we had caller ID. The EMS and police got there pretty fast, didn't need a warrant beause it was handled as a medical emergency. Even that relatively brief call of 25-30 minutes was exhausting. Judge Santos had a real marathon and managed to keep cool throughout. Amazing work!
My client went to a mental health court program but never fully stabilized. He ended up in prison and since release has had multiple run-ins with the law. There has got to be a better way to help people with mental health struggles!
Until insurance covers more than 3 days in the hospital for crisis that will never happen.

She did so well during this hearing. Mad respect for this judge.
She didn’t act enough for me I wanted her to get more out of character lmaoooo
Amazing!
IM SCREAMING THAT ONE DUDE IN COURT REALLY STAYED AND WATCHED THAT ENTIRE THING😂😂😂
I would have to lmao
Me. 😂
That's his lawyer.
@@chaynaemckinnie2881 Not the same person they’re talking about.
I totally would have stayed!
I use to think this Judge was uncaring but after this, I admire her. I now see that she's an Excellent Lady.
This judge deserves an award. Trying to keep this guy alive is beyond stressful.
Judge DiSanto saved a life today!! 🙌🙌🙌
Maybe many lives. He seems so unstable. I’m so glad she was willing to take time to do this today. She could have just let him be and went about her day!
No she didn’t. This dude is a liar. He only talked about harming himself when mail came up. He’s got some pedo history I’ll bet anything. He was waaaay too scared to go to lock up. He knew what was coming. The people in this thread, praising the judge and feeling bad for dude are SUCKERS! If you can’t see that manipulation from a mile away, you’re naive.
Idk. I feel like a year was shaved off of mine just for listening to this blowhard for so long.
He’s manipulative. Says he’ll do “anything to stay out of jail” but breaks all the conditions to do just that. Makes demands about what he will and will not do. Has broken the law in multiple states. Whines about his “wife” but only talks about his CHILD in passing. Was condescending to his own attorney to the point that the attorney just flat out stopped trying bc nothing he was gonna say to this dude would be correct or helpful in his own delusional world. He won’t wear a tether, which would keep him out of jail, bc it “hurts his ankle” and would ruin his planned out of state camping trip/spiritual journey.
Dude is a clown. Manipulative. Intelligent and knows what he’s doing.
He wasn’t going to do it. Too full of himself to delete himself.
He had zero intentions of self deleting. He's learned quite well how to manipulate people. He's mastered it.
I can’t remember the last time I have wanted to see a swat team hit a room and throw flashbangs so badly in my life.
This channel is so freaking awesome. I need treatment for my addiction to this channel. And shout out to his attorney Christopher Shemke. I was a criminal defense attorney and prosecutor in California and this attorney was insanely smart and quick on his feet as an advocate for his client. If you get in trouble in Michigan, have this attorney in speed dial. He is an amazing advocate.
I'm addicted too😂
This channel is not only AMAZING, but highly ENTERTAINING 😂
What a great judge to take that time and effort to find him and cancel her whole docket
It’s the fact that the lawyer Chris keeps
Falling asleep 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m cracking up! I’ve never seen such chaos!
His adrenaline is probably spiking and dropping and then he fight the exhaustion. It hunk the longest it scan sustain you is 20 minutes. It has to be grueling to sit there and hear this and just have to stay stoic.
@Itsthatoneguy371 accurate. I am treated for anxiety attacks. My brain dumps adrenaline randomly that puts me into panic attacks. 20 mins for the attack and then soon after I am absolutely exhausted. Meds help so much. I can't imagine that someone that doesn't go through that a lot could resist. Gotta take a knee for the long run and get to the end.
“I’m just scared to go to jail” BINGO that’s all this was
This was next level Mike. Thank you for sharing with us. Judge DiSanto is absolutely a hero. I really hope he winds up with the treatment he needs.
Treatment for what, being a absolute JOKE of a human being?
@@merlynshandley6337 exactly 😆😆
He will. Its called jail.
He just needs longer jail than he would have initially gotten.
@@merlynshandley6337 Jokes are likeable sir.
“Back in the day you couldn’t eat a thing until you went out and killed a lion and brought it home to the family” 😂 I can’t EVENNNNNN
Massive massive respect to judge DISanto for listening all so she could get him arrested and taken care of,he wouldn't kill himself but how many judges would sit through over 3 hrs with this guy is astonishing huge respect to do that I bet any other judge would have just put a warrant out and moved on 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I am so impressed by Judge DiSanto I can't imagine, she surely saved this guy's life by listening. A reminder of how far a bit of compassion can go.
Exactly. I work with prisoners and if the system led with compassion instead of shame, we could change this country (and this doesn’t mean forgetting punishment). If judges, POs, and COs were more compassionate as they upheld the law, people would more inclined to change. Have you ever tried to convince someone to do something whilst insulting them? It never works. But if you relate and empathize with them, you’re much more likely to convince them to do what you’re asking. All we want as humans is to be heard, understood, and accepted. The behavior studies we do tells us that shame is essentially the poison of society, and in the years I’ve worked with murderers and the like, I believe it wholeheartedly. This man CAN be helped and I couldn’t love this judge more for doing so. Bravo!!!
Idk, he's manipulative. He's saying everything and anything to get what he wants.
@@hopefulhumanRight? He even said he has impeccable vision but wore glasses to look smart😂🤣😂
I cannot express how much ADMIRATION I have for Judge DeSantos............
.
Amen to that!
This was really intense, thanks for airing it. She really did an excellent job navigating this guy. Kept him cool and calm the whole time.
I was a mental health nurse. I’ve had to handle many calls from suicidal/homicidal people. It is so hard to keep them talking long enough to get help to them. It’s a hard call for law enforcement to know exactly how to get to them as safely as possible. When I handled one of these calls, there was an adrenaline rush that was almost overwhelming. Many times I would just go to a quiet room and cry. It’s a sad situation and you never know if you actually helped someone. Every life has a purpose. This brings back a flood emotions. When you mentioned his attorney remaining quiet, that was helpful because getting to many people trying to talk someone down creates an overwhelming situation. We always had one person who would try to talk someone down.
After you dump that adrenaline, you want to just crumple. That’s a tired you don’t just bounce back from with a nap.
Wow! He started out with full-on real narcissism and then dove headfirst into the rabbit hole. The judge earned a badge today. They should get hazard duty pay.
Mike: Everybody else in the call left.
Risto: ......👀
Mike I have never seen you so serious, focused and compelled to stay to the end and see he was in good hands. I was on the edge of my chair watching the judge handle a very serious situation. Saved his life today.
Or if he's got a gun, someone else's life.
She’s the kind of person they need to talk people off the ledge. She’s a good listener and patient.
Wrong phrase. "Talk people off a ledge" means to assist them in falling.
@@andrewgaughan6418 the definition is "The idea is that you're talking to the person at a crucial juncture, where what you say and do might affect the decision they make."
I give her the all the credit in the world for going above and beyond to make sure he was safe!!! Way to go Judge!!!!❤❤
👍
Safe??????????????? She knew he was scamming with the suicide bullchit..............Come one............Don't play this woman for stupid..................He is a NPD scammer
Y’all are up this judges ass so much your gona fall out the next time she shits! 😂
This is so sad. Seeing the judge body language when the cops get there go from scared to relieved. Well done to this judge.
“ I don’t need glasses “ this took me out.
“My eyesights so good I could be a pilot”
“Have you thought about becoming a pilot”
“No I’m scared of heights”
I died.
@@tatorgator3811And then she asked him about flying to Vegas and he was like “yeah that was fun” - he’s all over the place, he didn’t even catch it.
As a former therapist, I’ll tell you, she has mad skills. I can only hope any other judge who runs into something like this will have the patience and ability to switch on dime.
As my mom would say "she's just picking my brain." Whenever there was an issue between us kids etc talking always helped.
She was very good. The amount of times Mike kept not understanding why this guy wasn't catching on clearly enough was enough to turn into a deadly drinking game though.
SKILLS????? MAD SKILLS??? NO WONDER YOU SAY "FORMER THERAPIST".
WRITING THE ENTIRE TIME, AND ACTING LIKE YOU GIVE A S**T ABOUT SOMEONE IS NOT HAVING "MAD SKILLS". WHO SAYS THAT ANYWAY. ARE YOU 14?
What a sad situation. She HAD to send them. I hope he gets the help he so clearly needs. It was heartwarming to see how the judge handled it all even clearing the schedule to allow him time to talk and to get assets in place, not just to 'get him' but to get him help.
He was full of shit not mentally ill.
He is a manipulator. He is using SI to get out of jail. The "help" he needs is to be held accountable for breaking the law.
@@drn13355 Even so, once those claims were made, the Judge had to do what she did. I used to work on a suicide line, and his thought patterns are familiar to me and could very well be legit. He could also be manipulating. The judge is not in a position to make that call. Her reactions and actions were 100% correct.
she chose to.
Incel.
A sad situation but uplifting to see so much humanity displayed, the goodness of humanity! Really shows that there is mercy along with justice in our courts.
This is one of the craziest videos I've ever seen. Thanks great work
I’ve never seen anything like this. 👏👏👏 Judge DiSanto is amazing! ❤
We all saw a different side to judge DiSanto today, and no one could have done any better than she did! 100% amazing! And I feel for this dude, he is very unwell and I hope he gets the help he needs.
Risto and Jill are invested as much as the rest of us! Love their dedication to watching the whole thing. Surely they learned what not to do…
I totally got a kick out of them!!! 💀
Judge DiSanto is a hero!! Good job!! I hope he gets the help he needs!
👍
Think he'd be disappointed to be told he's just another run of the mill sociopath
He's exhibiting textbook signs of malignant narcissism. Unfortunately it's one of the few mental illnesses that there's no effective treatment.
@@Fusterclucked00 Next stop for him: *The White House* ❗️
_(Republicans and Democrats are thinking “EXACTLY!” … but because of different people)_ 😃
@willcarino, narcissism is not a mental illness. It's a personality type.
Starting at 4:00 it shows more and more that he is a covert narcissist. Around 4:50 he says, ya know I could have been a lawyer, but I was too poor. i.e. I’m as smart as all of you AND it is everyone else’s fault that I’m not a lawyer or a judge. 😢Keep listening after that there are more examples. 💜
I don't think he's very covert
Agreed
Well that was like a movie.
Thank you, Mike. Great job 👍
His poor lawyer watching his client have a psychotic break! Good in Judge DiSanto for keeping him engaged for so long! What a hero she is!
And he gets to bill for it and maybe do work for other clients! Old law firm habits die hard.
Not a psychotic break. It was an act.
@@ashleypg1708it wasn't even an act of a psychotic break
Compelling video today, Mike. Kudos for sticking with it! And the judge for continuing the feed!
Lol. Learn a word calendar I suspect. What exactly does it compel you to do.
I'm a nurse since 2001 and this man is clearly having a manic episode. Obviously brought on by the unforeseen jail sentence. I fear he truly believed he wasn't getting any time. This is so serious. Not only self deleting but other human deleting could happen.
I’m an RN as well, since 2005 and I have to disagree about the “unforeseen jail sentence”. He knew darn well that he’d go to jail if he was non-compliant with the court ordered drug testing and he refused to be placed on a tether which ALSO would’ve kept him out of jail.
So there is nothing unforeseen about that.
I do think he’s manipulative as all get out and I don’t believe he’s that scared of traumatized by his jail time. If so, he’d have done what he was supposed to do. He’s also broken laws in multiple states. This isn’t new to him.
This man is a brat who doesn’t want to go to jail. He’s manipulating people like you.
He knew he was going to jail. He knew he violated and what that meant. He’s been in and out of jail his whole life
Ok I agree but still obnoxious manipulative clearly
Respectfully, you’ve just been manipulated.
Did everyone miss his big adult party line? His hip ant hung out with her ear ant a lot… so clever
That was clever🤭😂🤣😂
I got it lol
33:01 “I don’t even need glasses! I was just trying to look smart, like you guys.” I…WHAT?! 😭😂
What took me out what the comment how he loves vegetables and how ironic because in the end Lauren was a vegetable 😂😂 my guy......WHAT 😂
This guy is exhausting!! Big time kudos to this judge for the way she has handled this situation👍🏻
Idk if exhausting is the word I'd use. Hopelessness and loneliness is exhausting. This guy is simply reaching out for human connection and he'll take anything he can get. It's sad. Hopelessness is the most destructive force on Earth.
This is so sad!! He didn’t even notice all the people there for court disappeared. Truly hope he got the help he needs💛✌️
I don’t agree. It’s sad,yeah. Sad that he can MANIPULATE🙃 an entire court session to spotlight his issues w/o a thought to the others that are having to sit thru this. 🤬 How can the judge believe a single thought in his ‘ repertoire of ridiculous ideas’ ,and him, constantly segwaying into a mishmash of 🤮verbal vomit. The moon means months? @ 12:18. He claims pharmaceutical means 𝙎𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙮? 😂 No bird brain,it means (according to wiki,google,etc,) “From pharmaceutic + -al, from Latin pharmaceuticus (“of drugs”), from Ancient Greek φαρμακευτικός (pharmakeutikós, “drug maker”).” This indicates he’s 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩. 😎 Not crazy. 🤪 So manipulative I had to double check my knowledge,questioning my own belief, erroneous. Using his intelligence , not for good, 😇but for “bad” & to 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙥𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙢 ,in order to get what he wants. Probably been doing this his entire life, so,he very proficient at what he does . So much so,he’s bored by it.🥱 Needs a swift kick in his “sᴇʟғ ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ” ASS.
Bcz he’s a narcissist. The world revolves around him.
That word is used way too easily…. Anytime someone doesn’t like someone’s did you not see the part where they talk about his Bi Polar? Everything he is doing here is classic mania, several psych professionals have commented the same.
The judge was awesome. His attorney was also amazing as well. The client doesn’t realize it but he was there for him throughout this entire ordeal. He went off screen a few times but I’m guessing it was to speak on the phone with the proper authorities behind the scenes so that they could get to him.
Risto’s “deuces” at the end was hilarious! He watched the entire time! Great job by the judge!!
Poor Shemke is nodding out. 😂Jill & Risto were all in for this show! Having to sit through this hearing should have counted as their time served.
Someone very close to me has bipolar and when he is in a state, he talks exactly like this guy. In the previous video he said he had been diagnosed bipolar and this makes a lot of sense. Good job to this judge! She did great!
I’m bipolar myself, I’d like to consider myself an intelligent person, But a manic episode is torture- 1 episode lasted 3 months. My chosen sisters got me to call my psychiatrist to adjust my medication.
A manic episode is different for everyone.

Thank you Mike for showing this stream all the way through, from beginning to end. I also appreciate you showing us your softer, more compassionate side. Your Ukrainian friend, Tatiana
“Mrs DiSanto, the cops are here! “Oh… okay.” 😂
Wow, I watched from the beginning. I wanted to skip ahead but I didn’t. This was wild. Great job Judge!!
Fabulous job the judge and the lawyer.. Mike thanx for hanging in for us. We needed to know he was ok.😢😮
Amazing Judge!! She kept him talking, even the others just sat by. Great Job by all to get him help!!!!
Respect to the Judge - that was an epic mission. Well done all concerned.
Best LTWM I've watched! I hope theres an update to follow!
He seriously said "I know when to sit down and shut up"😂
That got me too. 😂
I hope he gets the help he needs. Hats off to the judge for making sure he is safe.
I’m so glad that I didn’t see this one first, but saw the hearing where we got all the background. I hope that those who watched this one first go and watch the preceding one. You will understand much more of what was going on with with him, the judge and his lawyer. The judge did an incredible job and I hope she gets some counselling herself, she would be mentally drained.
We need to see these serious ones occasionally to comprehend what’s really going on with people caught up in the justice system.
Please Mike, we need a good laugh after this. ❤❤
Judge DiSanto shows amazing patience, compassion, and empathy.
The bored face in the ceiling in duvalls feed is everything.
The poor guy who logged off last. I have to admit it made me chuckle. Stayed on in the background like he was watching a movie! Wow! The whole case was amazing and prayers that the guy got the help he needed.
The way this judge handled him was awesome. She did such a great job with him..
Mike.
What a service you have provided us today. People with mental illness and the court trying to help him stay safe.
What an amazing judge 👩⚖️. Heart of gold 💛
That first guy is the epitome of sucking the air out of a group. He 100% si the guy that shows up and literally only talks about himself and tries telling horrible jokes while never listening to anyone else, thinking he's the coolest, funniest, smartest guy ever.
I hope he gets the help he needs. This has been hard to watch, but I cannot step away. Good luck to you Sir.
Thank you for putting this on here. This is real life and it was so educational to see how everyone handled it. They did an awesome job and deserve credit for the time they all took to help this man and keep everyone safe.
Sadly I completely understand what this man is going thru! When my husband passed away in 2011 i went into a mental crisis just like this! God bless him and god bless this judge for seeing it! And not giving judgement but help!
No one cares. Stop begging for a pity party on this channel
It’s hard to watch because I can relate to the depression… but I can’t relate to the *blaming the courts.*
The most heartbreaking part so far for me (half way through part 2) was in part 1 where he talked about fearing the other inmates. ••• Many of whom can’t afford the kind of therapists, lawyers, child care etc he could.
So seeing a guy who probably received a lighter sentence than them *complaining about how he doesn’t deserve to be there* I’M SURE WAS SCARY FOR HIM and aggravating for them (regardless of age or race).
🤷🏻♂️
Her judgements got him arrested .
@@bluethunder4542 he got himself arrested!
But for the Grace of God go I……
Can you imagine this scene playing out in Judge Bryant’s courtroom?! 😂😂😂
Watching replay. That was so intense. My god, I’m so glad they found him. I lost my brother to suicide and this was just awful that he was having a breakdown. ❤
Excellent job Judge. During our training in suicide prevention training, we were taught to keep person talking and keep them off the subject of their intent till help arrives.
Ive been in couple of successful cases where getting them talking gave me enough time to get police on the scene. Then it was talking them into getting off the bridge wall and accepting the help.
That was intense. Glad no one was hurt. Judge had to do what she had to do. She was truly amazing thanks Mike
Darlene Houston I would really recommend not commenting on the subject’s Facebook profile while the police are on their way to get him. It could’ve definitely made it extremely dangerous for the officers and even Anthony. To give him your phone number on a public platform is extremely weird. You do not know this man.
I'm sorry, she did what now?
@@SheanaOBrien1985 ... right ?!?!
I missed something.....what?
Whaaaat
If he was 'bout it 'bout it, he would disconnect. Even if he is talking about leaving town, he would hang up and leave. He loves to hear himself talk and loves that she has to listen.
Yep, he knows he forced her to be nice and listen and is getting pleasure from the control.
You know what, we don’t know that-never call someone’s bluff when it comes to suicide. He’s clearly mentally unwell.
His lawyer gave him up trust me that was way he was quiet.😂😂😂😂😂 I hear them putting the cuffs on him. 😂😂😂
As he should have, kid was talking crap about him right in front of him, sicko
i hope he helped this person needs help
He sounds like my ex husband's brother. This judge is amazing letting him ramble is exactly why he is still talking
Was he a blow hard and religious zealot as well?
@ylloh3334 he was diagnosed with bipolar and other things I can't remember. He is much better now because he is taking his meds. It was scary the things he would say. I'm thankful he is better.
He has been in jail before.
His grandiosity reminds me of my Bi-polar nephew he say meds are awful and he will never take them again. OK. So you’ve been on illegal drugs, jail, and lost your children. But you stood firm.
That was a ride. Kudos to the Judge for paying attention, hearing his need and sticking with such a difficult to keep going conversation whilst help was organised.
The Judge is absolutely awesome 👏 !!! 🙏🏻.
I was actually gripping my hands during this hearing. As a nurse I care deeply about people and their emotional state. I pray he will get the help he needs. Really sad to have a mental illness or actually several in his case. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
He acknowledges, the first step...engaging in mental health treatment is challenging, it requires a deep dive within introspection, believe it or not our egos often don't want us to go there, it's a painful process. Until we have a clear understanding of ourselves, seeking answers externally can simply create more chaos. Kudo's to Judge DiSanto and Shemke! And thanks for sharing this Mike...
Nahh, he just wants to do his own DIY 'mental health' treatment and call it a day, or find a 'very special' counsellor (read 'someone who won't push back against my bullshit').
I 100 percent argee. So many people with mental illness ego come in the way of getting treatment and so many are stuck in the stage of denial. Have schizophrenic family members. Ive seen it.
@@funstuff2006 I'm game...Within a single statement, a sentence long. Ya castin' dirt and judgement, okay. The most telling pronouncement of all, you exclaimed your own BS.

@@janeguarnera7700 Go learn how to string together a coherent sentence together and try again.
This was fascinating, Mike. I’m so glad they found out where he was and got to him before he harmed himself or anyone else.
I’m hoping they do a thorough mental health evaluation on him, and that whoever does that eval gets a heads up on what happened at this hearing. This man is intelligent and will change his story to fit what he perceives the circumstances to be…which may delay proper treatment if the evaluator doesn’t see through it.
I don’t know what “Dickerson” is, whether they only handle misdemeanor defendants there? It saddens me that this man will be in Wayne County Jail, mixing in with much more hardened folks.
I wish our judicial system and society in general handled mental health and substance abuse issues better. Jail doesn’t fix those, except in rare cases. I think we could reduce recidivism, costing taxpayers less in the long run. Many aren’t ready to accept the treatment they need, but we should make it available where it can make a difference.
Not sure whether this man is bipolar, has schizophrenia, or what…but there’s more going on in there than simple manipulativeness IMO.
Judge DiSanto is a hero 🙌💯🎉
Dickerson is a facility that has 896 bed capacity (instead of the 3000 at most detention centers) and employs direct supervision ... which means:
"Direct supervision jails focus on actively managing inmate behavior to produce a jail that is safe and secure for inmates, staff, and visitors. Staff interact continuously with inmates in the housing units, actively supervising them to identify problems in their early stages."
So I imagine it's the safest place for him to be to also get help.
I share your hopes and relief. His meta communication (not threats or statements but HOW he says unrelated innocuous things) says active self threat, wherein even 3 days is useful just for delay. At least in jail he gets the added benefit of any help at all, which is way more than a 72 hr hold.
Wow, Dickerson sounds interesting. I’m curious about relative outcomes vs. other institutions with similar populations, and relative costs.
And I agree about the “self-threat” meta-communication. I didn’t know how to put it into words, but he definitely seemed “off.” I just rewatched Mike’s 2-month-old video of his initial appearance. He looks and acts SO differently now. Still very self-important and (mostly) polite, but much less in touch with reality.
Wishing him all the best 💐
American prisons are horrible and inhumane. They won't fix mental health problems. If he ends up there again without proper treatment first they will have to have him on suicidewatch the whole time. It will break him. He needs a good therapist, not just medication.
I was just thinking today how there used to be asylums for the criminally insane. Not that they did such a great job but it sure beat a blank.
Two things. 1 - I'm grateful that the judge listened, as someone with similar chemistry I know how frustrating it can be for someone to never get a chance to talk and really be heard. It's very refreshing once it's all out.
BUT....
2 - he is gonna harbor so much resentment once he figures out she wasn't actually trying to listen she was just trying to hold him in one spot until they could get authorities there. I feel for the dude.
Hahaha! Mike... I'm pretty sure that the human equivalent of a tranq dart is a tazer. 31:05
Jesus Christ the "I love vegetables. Funny thing, Lauren was a vegetable her last 3 days" literally wtf
Yeah super funny just like all the other tid bits about his involvement in her death
He really NEEDS HELP! The judge DESERVES A MAJOR RAISE ❤
