@mf4450 he may have been unable to get his medications. He even said that he needed to get them from Grady. I think he genuinely wanted to take his medication. I know a couple of people who refuse to take their medication because they think they don't need it anymore.
imagine being bipolar in a manic state, expessing that you need help because you dont have access to medication. Witness 4 people get shot, an altercation that you just intervened on in defense of a young lady. Then someone pull a gun on YOU an hour later. You disarm him and the gun go off. - all while being bipolar and in a manic state of mine. - meanwhile you gave this interview an hour prior to being a hi jacker. Crazy world! RIP, Bad situation to all involved.
Media!?!?! No this guy is! The point of this video is to show u what the media had recorded. They couldnt use his video in the report. They r shwoing this after he did what he did
@@umwahtexactly....but apparently dead victims don't matter to people who care more about criminals. The guy has a probation officer and already said he CAN NOT own guns, which is probably due to being a convicted felon. People are saying the gun went off bc this guy was trying to take it after the dead guy pulled it out on the bus .... not sure if that's true, but if it is, would this guy be charged with hijacking a bus & murder? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. But just bc you have mental illness, doesn't mean you're a criminal, but I also doesn't mean you're excused from responsibility if you commit crimes. It's wild that people think that a mental illness diagnosis automatically excuses you from responsibility. I know many people who were diagnosed bipolar, went off their meds and didn't commit crimes.
He's clearly suffering from a mental break, but he has also been convicted of child molestation and 18 other crimes in the past. Was he crazy then, too?? Maybe, but I know one thing for sure. This guy shouldn't have been walking around on the streets.
@@DracoWolfe79 I don't follow.. what I'm saying is I don't think this guy is faking it. Other times when I see or read about these type of events it seems like it's b.s.
@@norfillyson You know I’m just kidding right, his actions were bs, but his information has some truth to it, you just can’t use your flaws to harm others
People will overlook this but not only did he say that he had been off of his medicine for two weeks but “Grady will give it to him” which implies that it is NOT affordable for him.And perhaps Grady (truly Atlanta folks know ) is the only way he can get it. It’s not right. God bless those he harmed and the Man whose life he took but mannnn American has truly failed as it relates to the healthcare system.
As a nurse and having family, friends as well as patients suffering from mental health disorders, this is very familiar to me. It breaks my heart that this continues to go unaddressed and people have to die or be injured because of it. Anyone laughing needs to be educated on the matter pray they never have to experience this kind of horror 😢😢😢
You can clearly see he is having a break, and he is literally asking for help in so many words, the mental healthcare system in Ga and the rest of country needs to be address, instead of waiting til something bad happens and just throw these ppl that are bi polar, schizophrenic etc away in prison etc, it’s sad, I hope he does get the help he needs and not just thrown in a prison with minimum care, RIP to the man that was killed, but he definitely needed(s) help, maybe some sort of mental facility, not let him just get off but some sort of facility even if he has to spend some years 🤷🏿♂️
😂😂😂 Well the first question is did this interview actually air? I did think they were wrong for continuing to interview someone who clearly had nothing substantial to say and is telling them that he’s been off of his meds… It just so happens that it worked out that the video footage was useful. I’m not praising any idea that he’ll get off easy. But everyone being informed is useful. He clearly needs help. We can all be protected from his manic episodes. even he can be protected from himself.
Wow, Man he gave a forewarning. He even said he was in the middle of a maniac episode. He should have been admitted and potentionally placed on a 72 hour hold. I'm not excusing his actions, but he needed serious help in that moment.
The news people are more worried about the story then offering help the man stated he didn’t take his meds for two weeks. Somebody should have notified police! We have no humanity in the world!
Exactly! As a nurse, I was pinpointing all of the signs/symptoms of a manic episode that he was experiencing in front of all of these people. The euphoria alone was the biggest sign. It's sad that hr knew he needed medical attention, but it's worse that no one flagged down a medic to assist him in getting medical attention. We have to do better educating on MH
I'm not excusing what he did on that bus, but imagine if someone would have offered him some help before he got on that bus and killed someone. He clearly was asking for help. We really need to do better as a society,
And this is why I get so annoyed when people just throw psychological terms and disorders around as part of daily vernacular. "I woke up and I was super awake and happy but Starbucks was out of my drink and I'm so sad. I'm so bipolar!" There's a difference between normal shifting of moods throughout a day or period of time and bipolar disorders. Manic/mania isn't a cool term to describe when you're feeling hyped up. Those with knowledge of mental health disorders would know he was a waving major red flag. If someone says they're short of breath and their left arm is hurting, we know to get them medical attention ASAP. This was the same thing. I don't know how or if the population as a whole can become educated on mental health disorders but children in schools need to be taught. That's the oney way the stigmatism will lessen and people will be able to get help without fear of recourse.
the fact that he said he is a extreme mood erratic at this time and he will do something that gets him in trouble. he said protect yourself like in a chain gang. like he did in prison for years. he said that he could kill someone with a gun just take it from them and kill them. then he coulndt shoot the guy because he didnt have a gun. but carried knives and everything. he said he could get close and rip his throat out and all this stuff. there were many RED FLAGS. 1. that could he been with the guy who did the shooting, 2. or do we need to get him off the street. anything but let him leave there when he telling you on national tv he hasnt had his meds in weeks, and that he would kill someone basically any way he can. that bothers me!!!
@@detroitplaya2390 your so right. Mental Health needs more. just list they check and follow everything else. Mental health is real and people have to stop acting like they dont see it or it exist.
@@gingerthomas5758 I vote criminally insane 🤪. The news says the bus had cameras inside. If the camera shows self-defense, along with his mental health issues, he may get off - or at least no jail.

Whew 😥 I don’t know how they listened to all that. His interview gave me anxiety. I couldn’t watch this. He was devolving in front of them. All they cared about was the story. 😢
I have adhd, a mental disorder, and i can tell you the system is broken. You have to pay expensive price, book appointments to get medication and then have to pay and get medication. They expect that from this guy, who just lost his job.
Wow, he IS all over the place. Then he leaves there and hijacked a transit bus, killing 1 passenger, massive police chase. CRAZY. Prayers for all involved

No, that's not it. He saw a shooter. Then he was confronted by someone with a gun on the bus later that day. He disarmed that person and shot him. Then he pulled the gun on the bus driver.
He said that he was on Depocote 1000mg. He literally stated that he was currently in an Extreme Mood and I am Bi-POLAR and in Manic Episode and that he NEEDED to get back normal as soon as possible. As sounds like he tried to save the life of one girl

He’s everywhere all at once in his head. Wish someone could have gotten him help before someone else died.
This is the tape his lawyer will use to get him off again. Clearly he’s crazier than a bag of cats.
Omg Crazy aint the word
I am sure you are correct.
He’s not “crazy.” He’s mentally ill and off his meds. And no, I’m not defending his later acts
He’s bipolar and schizophrenic

Shame on the media for caring more for a story than a person who was clearly having a manic episode…
you single? i wanna be your man
FACTS ‼️ But do we find him guilty of the crimes, because he's clearly innocent by reason of insanity❓

The craziest thing he said is that "Wells Fargo is the best bank in Atlanta." There's no flippin' way. Proof he's off his meds.
