  • Donald Hartung lived close to his two brothers and mother. However, when something happened to them, around a blue moon no less, the police became interested in Donald. Searching his home, they found items leading them to witchcraft, and grim rituals. Was that the motive?

    It always annoys me when they're doing the interview and they're like "you didn't show any emotion" people react differently. When I found out my grandma had passed suddenly in a car accident I didn't show emotion right away. I didn't start crying immediately, it took time for it to fully sink in.

    • @calicoathena
      @calicoathena 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    • @lostdreams2737
      @lostdreams2737 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Well said!!!
      People expect others to react to situations according to what they think/believe, is the correct way.
      But I bet the same people who expect others to emotionally react instantly, are the same people who wouldn't react in the way they expect others too. So irritating!!.
      Like you mention, people show emotions differently ànd even process things differently.
      I met my soul mate in 1995, but lost him in 2018. He died 2 month before he was 40, unexpectedly in his sleep. Its only this past year that its actually affected me emotionally. I cried when he passed, but not in the same way as I have recently. So yeah, emotions are complex things and everyone reacts differently. That doesn't mean there's anything sinister happening, if emotions don't show instantly. It's crazy how people think others SHOULD react.

    • @Punyurpia

      Agreed. I didn't cry or get emotional when my husband of 35 years died suddenly in front of Mr and our son. I didn't cry at the funeral. I didn't cry until all the details of death were taken care of and then when they were, I went into a deep depression where I lost 60 pounds in 5 months. I did the same when I buried my parents. If there had been a suspicion at the time of these deaths, I'm sure I would have been number 1. Not everyone wears their heart on their sleeve.

      @@jasonwilliams5550 I know they’re not all heartless criminals. I am the last person that would ever say that. In fact, although I’m not American, I absolutely hate the prison system in America. I also don’t like how many innocent people are forced to take plea deals just in case. I also don’t like the fact America has 4% of the worlds population, yet 25% of the worlds prison population, and incarcerates more people than any other country. The penalties are often way too much (and clearly it’s not working if so many people are in prison). I also hate the American cultural thing of when people go to prison others are like “haha you’ll get raped” as if rape is something you can joke about or find funny. The whole system is fucked. So I don’t believe that at all, in fact, I have a very hard time believing most people are bad, even when they’ve done something objectively terrible, I still have empathy for them. Nowhere in my comment have I said they’re heartless criminals.
      However, it would appear the majority of the time that witnesses from the jail do it in order to get their sentence reduced. Apparently there’s a well known rule in jail to not tell anyone why you’re there as someone will testify against you to get their sentence reduced. That’s how common it is. Arguably if America didn’t sentence people for so long they would be less inclined to do it. But it should be outright banned (it has been discussed in some states at least), because it’s hearsay for a start, and completely unreliable.

I think you've forfeit the right to call anyone else a dumbass. Also, everyone has heard about the Aztecs and similar cultures and their sacrifices, but not every magic system is violent like that so you're clearly not as knowledgeable as you think. It's much more common for people to just write love letters and bury them in a bottle of honey, and people have been doing that for centuries. At minimum, it's more common because it's less messy than killing something and it's still real magic, at least inasmuch as the people doing it have sincere belief in it. Something doesn't cease to be real magic just because it doesn't fit into your evangelical or QAnon narrative that's based on being as hysterical as possible about the nature of magic.

      When it stops working to impugn their character in court. It shouldn't be allowed in court as evidence. But they play that shit up. Plus, its an interrogation technique. To see if they get defensive, which is how most innocent people would react, or if they try to explain it away. But even that's not evidence.

    • @glamdolly30
      @glamdolly30 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      There's some truth in that. But if you're a regular follower of murder cases you'll know that killers are generally very emotionless when their supposed 'loved ones' are missing or murdered. In most cases they are unable to even fake emotion or tears, when it would be in their own best interests to do so!
      Lack of emotion alone doesn't prove guilt, but an inappropriately cold response to bereavement is certainly a red flag that suggests investigators should take a closer look.

On top of that, this is his whole FAMILY……even if they don’t like each other, these are people he’s lived with his whole life….I just…….wow.
