He took his kids away from him. So he took his life. It is what it is.
No wonda why he got his kids taken away 😂
He had been accused of extreme abuse towards his kids, going as far as to muffle his infants cries by shoving towels in their mouth, as well as locking his oldest daughter in a camera equipped room so she couldn’t escape. It’s not “it is what it is”, he’s a violent and vile person who should not be around his children.
@lexapro834 Accused? By who? The Mom trying to lockdown more financial support?
@@bobbobbington3615 she needs to learn her place good to know not every man is a simp like these judges
@@lexapro834 extreme abuse so extreme a jury couldn't hear about it real Americans believe in juries for crimes
Oh well, sick of judges screwing men in custody cases.
Being denied visitation usually only happens to drug abusers and physical abusers…
@@prima-madalina - As said above, almost all women in a court situation will claim to have been abused.
@@Clyde-2055 You have the nerve to claim all women are liars capable of lying under oath... what if I claim all men are abusers? Does that make it true? Men complain so much about being treated unfairly in family court meanwhile all the divorce, child support, and custody laws were written by MEN. And most of the judges making these decisions (like the one in this case) are MEN. If you care so much, go take it up with your fellow man-- hold them accountable for the laws and legal processes they established and plan a march in Washington DC or something instead of just blaming women for everything.
@@prima-madalinaI would love to see those stats?
@@bobbobbington3615 google how many men REQUEST full custody
Bro prob sentenced sumone to 40 years for having a ounce of weed🤣💯
Man looks like an adult hall monitor. Having your kids taken away by a dude that looks like this over potentially false claims would definitely be rage inducing.
My prayers and thoughts go out to Pedro
A man pushed to the brink by the corrupt system and the war on good men
No contact with his children. Poor guy went nuts
Wilkinson ruled against Argote after hearing testimony from his wife and an adult daughter, who said he controlled every aspect of their lives, keeping them isolated and subjecting them to various acts of violence in recent years. Ya poor Pedro🙄
@@wickedtreefarm6914Yea, sure.
As someone from Hagerstown, the city that this happened in, it’s appalling how many people are defending him. I actually saw the helicopters the night of the shooting, so I’ve been watching this unfold from hour one, quite literally.
They have released information about Pedro, including how he locked his oldest daughter in her room and would not let her leave, and even put cameras in the room to watch her. There’s been multiple reports made over the years about him and the abuse.
It’s also reported that when one of the kids was an infant he would shove towels in their mouth to muffle the crying.
He was a danger to his fucking kids and should never be allowed around them, so calling him “poor guy” is disgusting.
@@lexapro834save your indignant pontification. Have you considered for one moment those 'reports' may not be in fact true?
Your american mainstream media has shown itself to be producing fake news for decades.
The US justice system especially in the family court arena is receiving a long overdue correction.
@@lexapro834rEpOrTs!
Never get married gentlemen, take this as an example
Yessir
*Never get married in a western country.
Make your money, retire early and move to a country where marriage is still respected. There were recent headlines of rich politicians and CEOs already doing this citing 'societal decay'(mostly because of them) as a reason for retiring overseas.
Maybe these judges need to be impartial and stop bringing agendas and narratives into court?
Please have jury system. If all the power is in one persons hands, it can create unfair judgements.
A father does not stand a chance in family court.
@tonymontana4284 not always true. My brother won full custody from day 1 against his ex. She constantly took him to court and each time the judge upheld the original ruling. My brother wasn't perfect but he didn't hide behind his faults, didn't try to keep them a secret, and continuously showed that his daughter was his first papery.
It is standard fare to accuse him of domestic violence too. Lawyers for women always will coach them to file for protective orders and use any contact with police to impugn the man but never the woman because judges “believe women” not evidence. The game is rigged.
You have no idea what you’re talking about- this man had a history of abuse, that’s why the judge deemed him a danger to his children. Also the judge is a MAN… you guys always complain about courts being against men but it’s MEN who are creating these laws
@@karicooper9464she must have been terrible then. Or a dope addict?
Not necessarily true. I know men who have full custody of their children.
dont get me wrong, murder is awful. but what if you wrongfully convicted someone and sentenced them to 40+ years or life in prison, you essentially murdered them yeah? sure they're "alive" but you took their entire life away forever. Someone's father or mother, someones daughter or husband.. etc. All i'm saying is, I can understand why someone might murder a judge or one of their family members if the judge wrongfully "murdered" someone they know. Not saying it's right, but that's what makes being a judge so dangerous. If you take away someone's life, they might try to take yours.
Another solid reason why you shouldn't invite judicial system into your relationship. DON'T, DON'T get married!!!
DON'T, DON'T make it easy to obtain guns
@@tramp2827 Could've still easily happened even without a gun.
Could've. But it did happen, with a gun. My response really was to the fool blaming marriage for the killing. That aside, 90% of the killings in my country come from illegal guns. American guns that are too easily available to all. America will never understand that a large portion of those storming the border, are fleeing gun crimes in their country, brought on by American guns. Look at Haiti, they can't feed themselves but they have guns enough to trade???? A 16 year, can't vote, can't drive legally, can't get married, but he can legally purchase an AR-15?? That's insane.
You do know people have kids together without getting married right? So you saying don't get married wouldn't make any difference.
@@tramp2827ha good luck
The courts know what they are doing by destroying families and mine was done the same way and I have a autistic son who his mother abandoned him for a year as she is a MFT and works for a agency that is supposed to protect kids. I was my son caretaker and father twenty four hours every day until the judge took him from me. It’s trust law and they are administrating the trust and child support makes 5,12 cents from every dollar paid into their system. I’m sure the judge doesn’t have a DBA and to do business you need a dba also all crimes are commercial under 72.11 CFR. Peace 😂
I wanna know why the judge made that call. I wish they would release more details cause people would honestly hide him cause they support him without knowing this man.
That’s good question cause if it was bad decision I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing I mean I would be empty I would probably do the same thing for sure
@@benlee8260 you're sick.
@@benlee8260 his actions show exactly why he shouldn't have custody.
@@jones2277 did you see my last comment
@@jones2277That part!!
May this be a message to the government. Fix the divorce laws, or expect more of this.
Yep y'all playing with a man's Children he will go to these extremes lol.
@timhorton1180 if you have children they'd be better off far away from a violent lunatic like you
I’m from Hagerstown, the city that this happened in. I actually saw the helicopters the night of the shooting, so I’ve been watching this unfold from day 1.

So no one’s “playing” with this man’s children, he’s vile and should never be allowed to see them, so you can have a seat in this case.
@@lexapro834 Thanks for bringing some sanity here. It's pretty clear the guy assassinating judges shouldn't be anywhere near children and it's not surprising that the ruling to take custody away was well founded.
@@lexapro834 Nonsense. If that's the case then he should be locked up. The mother should do a job and take care of children. Instead all his money and savings were given to the women. She would have happily accepted it. Real women would walk out and stand on her own feet.
Playing god, did serve him well. Dont get inbetween folks, there kids....
Men get treated like second class citizens in family court. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
3rd class, it sounds like
Fathers rights sadly don’t exist anymore
The dude was clearly a bit unhinged judges not break up families for no good reason.
Being denied visitation usually only happens to drug abusers and physical abusers…
@@Phoenix-in-flightand she humped and pumped him enough to make and crap out 4 kids with the guy. So either she's a liar here or she chose poorly. So which one is it?
@royaltyhits that's why people go in there and lie about it. It's not criminal court so it doesn't have to be proved in family courts. Women hsve been running this game in family courts for decades
@@dkdonkykong9451 please stop trying to convince me that a m*rderer is an upstanding, good guy.. i trust that the judge who made this ruling was a better man than the dude who lost custody. the judge llikely saved those kids lives by keeping them away from their vengeful, unhinged, murderous father. i reallyyy doubt the kids miss him!
These comments are literally insane. The man didn't turn up to court to even hear the decision and on top of that, he had threatened to kill the children in the past. It's no wonder that the judge ruled in the mother's favour and gave her custody. Y'all are actually sick in these comments. He is not a victim here, he had a history of violence and abuse and he literally proved the judge right by committing this sick execution.
You do not think he knew he already lost his home and was made impoverished? Lose the kids was a given even if he had some pathetic schedule for visitation.
Maybe he chose not to work the rest of his life barely scraping by to pay child support as he lived out of a van.
You do not know what he already knew. This seems to be the narrative with the ill informed but where his divorce was leaked, he pretty much lost everything.
And if you can lose all contact and custody or children for missing a court date… maybe the system needs to change. Think the wife would lose such custody or even lose all child support if she doesn't show up? This isn’t a criminal court.
The judge made his decision and Pedro overruled him.
Damn I hope the cops can track your location, you seem to know a ton about the gunman.
@@j.elizabeth4621 LMAO what? it takes less than 5 seconds to google his name and see this information for yourself. it's literally everywhere🤣
@@Bonzi_Buddy Cry me a river. The man had previously threatened to kill his kids... The judge absolutely made the right decision. Please seek therapy, you sound genuinely deluded.
We don't know that . Just because you said it doesn't mean it's true
I never understood why men kill themselves after a divorce. This will definitely prevent this judge from destroying another man's life.
The best actions to take is to 1st acknowledge that the family court system is bias and currupt. Family court needs to be reformed because many men lose everything and are often lied on by the woman to gain leverage in high contentious divorce cases.
Rip,Another man driven to the edge by the one sided and corrupt family court system.
The judge received a life sentence. 😂
Fjb
So ok your looking for him but why all the military armor come on if u cant just use your sidearm do better your not at war with america
Its for show and play of course
well now he definitly will never have custody.
On the other hand... Neither will the judge.
he also ruled that the judge will not have custody either..Pedro's court
Eye for an eye.
Judge got judged.
Disgusting wife-beaters in the comments trying to justify what this murderer did by saying the ruling was unfair. Did you even read the case files? Domestic violence, assault, physical abuse. Then KILLING someone when things didn’t go his way. Hell, it could have been the wife. This is exactly why everything was rightly taken away from him. You people are abhorrent!
Exactly… only people deemed dangerous are denied visitation…
Well if the man was that bad why did he not have a criminal record? He had no domestic violence charges. He was a legal gun owner so if he had been charged or convicted of domestic violence he wouldn’t be able to possess the firearm legally. If he was such a bad guy why did his wife stay with him all them years and have four children with him? It’s ok for him to pay $1,200 in child support but not be able to see his children!!
Judge got judged.. what’s the problem?
What's the rationale behind the killing of someone whose job it is to interpret the law?
Judging a judge.. fairness?
Why are men not equal citizens in family court. Appears to be a form of discrimination
I hope they never find him.. abolish family courts and you wouldn't have. No man on this Earth has the right to tell some man when you can or can't see his children. That's called kidnapping abolish family courts.
Yeah I agree, seems completely stable. Good father, probably must remind you of yours!
Yeah, let's just ignore the fact that some parents are abusive psychopaths, we should never acknowledge that some people are crazy and we should just let the psychopathic parents abuse their children, shame on society.
Most abusive psychopaths are women who get custody because the court system is biased.
@@lashlarue7924like judges are abusive psychopaths?
He could've appealed the decision like a normal person instead of attacking the judge... i imagine he has a history of irrational behavior and/or abuse and that is why he was denied contact with his children. the children were likely old enough to express in court whether or not they desired contact with their father and said no...
A normal person ! Let me guess have you been in a court hearing for a family custody? The courts are a fucking he said she said bullshit
You do not know how family courts work. Appeals just remove money from whoever tries. There is no realistic appeals process in family court.
´´appealed ´´ already a judge wrong him and you think for pure magic another judge will change is mind?. At least 1 person is correcting those stupid judges
To be fair, most judges are corrupt to the core and let the dregs of our society go loose to continue their terror over the public. They only ever take action when the career criminals they produce start effecting their lives.
@@daquemasquieren Yes it happens all the time. Judges have different opinions. Also, I’ve worked in the system before as an advocate for foster kids- parents are only denied visitation in cases of serious abuse and usually a child psychologist is involved. Even drug addicts are allowed to visit their kids if they pass drug test. This man probably had anger issues and the children probably expressed fear of him
people take their lives seriously to judges they are numbers just another day at work

The judge is at fault.
Judges destrying families 👪 wtf you destroy a man by taking everything from him
Amen
This is a criminal or someone who has ever been wronged by a judge dream based on comments I've read in prior post.
A little late reporting ABC.
May they never find him.

बहुत ही दुखद समाचार है न्यायधीश की गोलियां मार कर हत्या कर देना बहुत ही दुखद है हमारी संवेदनाएं उनके परिवार के साथ है। अपराधी जल्दी पकड़ा जाए ईश्वर से प्रार्थना करते हैं
Someone I know, has a very bad addiction. Shes a mother of a 5 year old.
STILL the judge will not take her daughter away and give her to the father who works hard and isn’t addicted
It seems to me that it is wildly difficult to take children from the mother, in the court system.
Anyways, I’m sorry to hear about the poor judge. To me, in todays world, judges need security more than celebrities do.
It’s all about money if a man pays a lot of money to a good attorney the man wins custody if a woman pays money she will have the kids or if the man doesn’t hire a expensive attorney she will have the kids it’s all about money
Not always. This was about the abuse they dealt with.
Its because they get a cut lol. Cant get $$$ off a crackhead lol.
No they don’t let them sweat
@@Jaco059 spoken like a true criminal.
So sad prayers.
I know a lawyer in that area thats investigating that judge too after the trail would I have heard from my sources the judge did some really shady things in that case I mean terrible both side
This country is slowly sinking to barbarism.
real gangster
Judge got judged.
I'm frightened after reading these comments. People excusing this man's behavior??? WTaF?? This man destroyed another family but also his own. Anyone remember Josh Powell?
That's because we relate with the Dad.
Josh Powell murdered his wife and kids because his life was exposed and she was going to divorce him.
Pedro murdered a judge because at age 49 he was forced to lose his home and any equity he has built up in it, forced to lose his kids on mete accusations by his wife not criminal convictions or actual proof (aka judge believes whatever the woman says), and made him impoverished until retirement age with child support.
Guess Pedro decided to overrule the judge’s decision. Not weeping for a dead judge who got terminated for not considering the father for one second.
@@CrackShot-3 - Yep … The US is known worldwide as the biggest warmongering nation on on the planet, and it they do something wrong, they change their all-powerful law to make it okay.
Bomb a hospital? No problem! Kill countless civilians? Oops! Water-board “detainees”? Oh, that’s legal now because we (the US) changed the law.
@@rockytalkndawoods3057 you relate to a man who destroyed two families? You should be saying "courts are frustrating and can be biased but what this man did is insane".

Who said he was even an immigrant you xenophobic dipshit? The dude who brought MY surname here arrived from Europe, (if you can find it on a map), BEFORE the American Revolution. You know, when the southwestern portion of the (todays) US still belonged to Spain, Russia still owned Alaska, Hawaii was its in nation and the central part of (todays) US, still belonged to France. And my ancestor (5th great grandfather) never (to our knowledge) even set foot in Mexico.
Would be interesting to know the details of rhe case.
He definitely went to either Mexico or Canada.
Who defunded the police?
Now he will be in custody.
It’s looking doubtful … 😂
I don't condone what he did that to the judge but cutting off ENTIRELY visitation right of 4-children is truly misguide and unfair judgement by the expired judge who must have been listen to only mother side of the story how her husband is no good unfit to be father, etc.; in short, something wrong about divorce settlement laws in US!
he was probably denied visitation because he's abusive and violent...
Women's love fatherless kid's and one income and one man is not enough to women she needs all multiple income multiple men's multiple pleasure 4
kid's 4 different baby daddy's
Soooooo, abusive parents should still be allowed to see thier kids? Good to know... I hope to hell you don't have kids if you think that an abusers rights are more important than kids safety and mental/emotional/psychological health.
He lost his visitation because of accusations from his wife in a divorce proceeding not because because of provable facts.
In addition he was made homeless and impoverished.
He clearly had anger issues. Do you blame the judge?
They have to protect them
In prison theres food and sleep but without repentance to Jesus christ leads to eternal burning hell no sleep no rest no food and no water constantly tortured by demons 24/7 around the clock
Why would a soul need food, water or rest. It has no body. Smh. ⚛
Jesus is gay.
I feel bad for that judge because
