Real question why David has gun in first place?
I remember when the David Kats thing happened. The most awkward and funny thing about the whole thing was when Fox News had a debate panel. One of the people on the panel was passionately arguing how video games cause violence and wanted simulated gun violence out of real life tournaments. Then when she learned that Madden was a football game, she was left speechless.
I need to see the clip for this lol
@@jsmith3946 its...not the game...killing the...

Ban assault sports games!

Disproven by her own stupid argument. Priceless 😂🤣👌
I neeeeeeeeed to see this clip
Major respect for Doublelift. Not only a great League player, but having to deal with strict Asian parents, making his own way, dealing with family tragedy, and still pushing on.
FOR REAL. Plus like, nobody talks about how abusive his parents were. They disguise it as tradition, but it's abuse.
@@Flip634 Bruh. Abuse is abuse, no matter how much Asian parents try to paint it as tradition or culture.
@@Flip634 try to say something of substance "don't care" is the most basic shit I have ever seen...
Love doublelift. I’ve got an old CLG poster signed by him and a few others
Horseshit. That doesn’t last forever. I would have rather had strict ass parents than none at all. As someone in the foster care, “tiger parents” is the dumbest excuse and narrative that’s ever existed.
The "What did he shoot me with" line is chilling. The victim probably hoped it was a prank or he was using BBs or rubber bullets and held on to that hope.
Yeah I got to that part and had to pause the video. It was said franticly but also kinda calm and matter of fact. Freaks me out.
@@Yonko-ColaYeah, some people go in intense situations come off as disturbingly calm, because their minds are focused on dealing with situation, and processing everything later.
Usually once the situation is over, it hits them and they can even break down.
@@michaelgillespie9112 He couldn't break down. He was dead bro.
@@AdachiCabbageYou missed their point.
Yeah that was a creepy line. Hope you feel better by now because this comment was made a month ago :)
Murderer: this was premeditated. I even wrote a book.
Lawyer: this was a spur of the moment decision. He can’t be held accountable for something he did on impulse.
Winning a tournament after your parents were murdered is a different type of animal. All the respect to Doublelift and rest in peace to all the victims.
he didnt even care when they were alive, let alone dead 😂literally a psychopath, as long as hes playing games hes good
Yeah rest well all my support to him 😢
He will play and he will win to make his parents proud
His mother was the one to pass away, his father survived
It's so fucking heartbreaking and disturbing that while he was winning the tournament, being all excited and stuff, his brother was killing his mother.. jesus. That is just tragic..
DoubleLift's story is heartbreaking. I can't imagine what he felt when he first received the news, then still went on to compete in the finals a week later and win. Just overwhelming emotions. Glad to see he's doing well today.
yeah ikr, this is why I will forever respect Doublelift. Man's just received the most tragic news possible then went to win finals afterwards.
I Hate his Parent for treating him like this
The heartbreaking part of it is, is that his parents were not very supportive or caring parents. Of coarse, That doesn't excuse murder. But it gives insight into their screwed up, disfunctional, unloving way of Tiger Parenting. Tiger Parenting is a form of Mental and Emotional abuse for Asian children.
Hate is a strong word. Parents want what is best for their children and feel conventional means are more likely to comfortably see their kids through life. Heavy on 'parents want what is best for their children'. You arent a parent and would not understand their internal turmoil. @@ahmedaliyu1495

You are right about tiger parenting. A psychiatrist told me he was seeing the patients who were dealing the psychological effect from tiger parenting.

For those who also don't know how the justice system works here in Brazil: there is no life-sentence here, the maximum time you can get in jail, no matter the crime, is 40 years. Also no matter the gravity of the crime, there is a chance of you never complete your sentence, ex: Elize Matsunaga, a woman who killed her husband in several pieces, stuffed it inside of a luggage and then tried to burried it, got 19 years and 11 months but was release after completing only 10 years and now works as an Uber, another example is a goalkeeper from an huge team here in Brazil (Flamengo) called Bruno Fernandes das Dores de Souza (aka. Goleiro Bruno) who was arrested on the charges of homicide, concealment of corpse (via making his two dogs eating the corpse), kidnapping and false imprisonment of his own ex-lover Eliza Samudio, which was alleged pregnant of his own child, he got 23 years and 1 month but only completed 10 years and now keeps playing as goalkeeper in a small soccer team and lives like nothing has happened. That's Brazil for ya, the only crimes that's guarantee of death is whatever is related to child and since even the officers knows about how useless these sentences are, they usually announce to everyone what kind of crime you committed before put you in a cell.
Thiss
Dont forget Isabela Nardoni, who's father and stepmother beat up to death then threw out a window and got 16 years
If you look up details of the Dota story, the state of Joshua's body was so gruesome. That year he died, many other teenagers were killed by police. Forensics recently revealed foul play. Appreciate wavy adding sociopolitical context.
Many poor kids here play games as an escape.
I feel bad for Sebastián that young man n that shot officer are the victims
Joshua totally did it n i think he killed Sebastián
Yes you can plant drugs n evidence
But impossible to make up bullet trajectory and the fact a cop is lying down bleeding that physical evidence is as good and strong as DNA or a camera recording
That level of evidence cant be planted because of gsr or other dna evidence demonstrates TAMPERING or manipulation of a murder n THAT WOULD GO PUBLIC
Plus most DRUG DEALERS i knew back in the hood in the 90s n 2000s in the streets stole cars rob gas stations and sold drugs so its in the personality of these to eventually move UP IN the crime road to redrum n manslaughter n RICO
I did .
So I definitely get it.
My Sega Genesis was My Besty
& I had friends, I had My real BFF from 6yo that became My Brother & We stayed down until His passing on Thanksgiving 2008
2 days before His 29th B Day
I’m still down with His Family .
I do feel bad that more time goes by the less We see each other
The less I stop by but it’s just from time flying bye bye
I still text His Momz every few months , which I should be doing a lot more . Life’s a trip .
Anyways …. As I was saying…
Lol
Yea, My Sega Genesis and then My Play Station was what kept Me going for a good decade
Until I finally let a girl get Me away from gaming
But then of course a couple years later people were actually making loot from gaming
but I quit because I didn’t want to appear to be waisting My time 🤦♂️
Every time you let someone else dictate what you do instead of going with what has always been there …
I was really good @ Madden too .
For some reason I have not been able to get back into gaming
Whatever happened that got Me to quit playing, it severed something. Lol. But FR
I wanted to ,
I’ve bought a PS3 back when but hardly played it
I’m thinking of getting a Meta Quest 2 VR
When I played My nephews it was super cool
Also considering getting The X Box S because it’s new and much more affordable
I like Play Station much more but
I don’t think it would be smart to spend $600 + to get back in and to get started
So….
Yea…. Here’s a Book for ya to read 😁
I hope You enjoy it as much as I did writing this 😊
I’ll have to comeback and give You a heads up when I actually make the purchase 😁

@@certifiedcammhe means black people he's being racist
@@ashspike5232 Is he wrong? Those people will attack others just because they are wearing a different color. They never feel bad for anything they do until their actions catch up to them. It's a lack of empathy.
The scariest part about these stories is that murderers aren't always handlebar mustache-twirling villains in some dark castle during a thunderstorm. They can and often do appear, sound, and even interact in such an unsuspecting way, that I don't blame anyone for not anticipating these kinds of things.
My exact fear..
Guess my comment was too truthful for TH-cam to leave up? Let me try again. Almost everyone in these situations shows the same warning signs and backgrounds. All you have to do is pay attention
I feel bad you're just learning this now. Truly psychotic evil people look and act totally normal
@@Acr6gAttt-mq2hr there’s nothing you can do about it
@@Acr6gAttt-mq2hrI think the difference is between looking at warning signs vs jumping to conclusions based on outward appearances. Like I remember a video where some hotel staff in Ohio called the FBI on an Emirati tourist claiming that he was associated with ISIS and what not. People don't want to peer deep into a person to see actual warning signs, and it is important to know the distinction between doing that and assuming based on appearance, what the OP was getting at.
Just a quick note: In the Call of Duty case, it was stated that Guilherme only avoided life in prison due to his mental health situation. In Brazil, we do not have life sentences. No one can be in prison for more than 30 years at a time.
I'm not Brazilian, but I've read that there are ways of judges to make exceptions to that rule in very extreme cases, is that right? This is probably not considered an extreme enough case, but a gang leader for example.
25-30 years is known as a life sentence that's why people say 25 to life

Im a Filipino currently living in the home country, and the notion on the police here by wavy is 100% accurate.
I am 100% certain that the police just planted evidence on those kids. The police in our homes genuinely would do that, especially since it was furing the war on drugs.
the police definitely planted those evidence.
It's basically a consensus that those policemen did kill those two teenagers. Not the first time this happened.
ACAB
amazing how stupid the police think the people are
Man the last story was such a tragedy and an embarrasment to my countrys authorities. I lived in the same town as him for 21 years before migrating to canada. Police will kill "alleged" drug suspects just to meet their quota so they can get promoted. People would rather go to a radio talk show (raffy tulfo in action) than going to the police to report an incident
This is rather true because the Police can't do s*** unless you gave them money and/or your popular like celeb/politics. That's the time they will take actions.
Looks like their Quote "To serve and Protect" is no longer apply to them.
The officials says that they want things in proper yet they are covering up the truth just to keep their image clean.
I hope we can one day get justice for what happened to those 2 boys. Police corruption is disgusting.
Police corruption is the same world wide. Money talks and the rest just walks.
What kind of backwards town was that?
Cops really just be corrupt everywhere their just another gang expect their “legal”
God I wasnt expecting to see Doublelift's story here since he wasnt the perpetrator but given the nature of some of the other coverings that are on the video I suppose its to be expected.
I still remember the day I got the news on what happened to DL's family. Man, I followed this guy closely back in my teenage League years and was rooting for his career. I was even brought to tears in his interview where he swore he would make amends to his parents. The guy deserves better.
Wild to see how DL's older brother went so mental over the breakup,my condolences to everyone involved in Doublelift's family
Especially Doublelift who probably never would've suspected that his brother that got him started on his eSports career would be capable of smth like this
I can't imagine, he finally realized that despite the drama, he still loved his family and just wanted to go back and be with them again, just for his brother that he looked up to to go and kill their mom and hospitalize their dad.
it's obviously tragic when this type of tragedy happens, but it's also disturbingly fascinating to see how some people can completely fly off the handle for reasons that seem super mundane to everyone else
Some people just have that little going for them in life
Petty, not mundane
That's the main reason I carry.
Yeah penguinzo just dropped a video about a guy who was asked to not vape around a child, and he went on to stab the man who asked, in front of his child and he died.
Something as simple as asking someone to chill on the vaping.

What a useless comment. Its crazy how much someone can be elated when they are taken over by joy and happiness
I had been a Sergeant for just over a year in JSO, I had been with the Sheriff’s Office for just over 7 at that point, now 13 years. I will never forget that day. One of the worst days of my career. I'll never forget hoofing down Bay St. Silver lining, the lovely family that owned the place, now operates a wonderful arcade that I frequent regularly.
I’m glad both are serving time, but it’s NUTS to me how the teenage girl who pulled out a gun and killed someone without hesitation got just 40 years, and the man who actually didn’t kill anyone got LIFE in prison. Wild.
Plea deal. Basically, she admitted to everything without further fuss in favor of a reduced sentence. Further, she was underage at the time despite being tried as an adult, and courts tend to be more lenient in such cases.
It says something that despite the plea, she got *40* years. That is very likely going to be more than half her entire life.
If that was the plea deal, the *reduced sentence,* she may very well have been facing life herself...or possibly even the death sentence.
plea deals can seem fucked up but they do serve a practical purpose in the court system. it encourages people to admit to their crimes which helps lower the cost of processing a criminal if you don't have to fight a lengthy court battle to prove they're guilty. it also turns criminals against each other by appealing to their selfishness. you can help yourself by ratting out your accomplices. it's not a perfect system by any means and plenty of people get off on light sentences that they shouldn't because of bad plea deals, or plea deals made without all the evidence. but in particular with this case, her plea deal is really bringing out the misogynists who don't know what a plea deal is or how American court systems work. many people are claiming she got a lighter sentence just for being a woman. it's not hard to prove they're wrong but it's nearly impossible to convince people they hold bigoted beliefs and to change them.
@@soupstoreclothing lighter sentences for being a woman is a true thing, it happened an uncountable number of times

That last story is truly chilling… knowing what kind of power any police force has to fabricate lies to lean the story into their favor is one of my biggest fears of this world. It makes me lose hope in any justice system and policing we have, and the only real way you can be protected is by protecting yourself.
Basically the path that i took to conclude guns rights are about self preservation.
@@Canalbiruta sure buddy, preserved for all of about ten seconds lol. your guns aint stopping shit.
@@afalseerra9517 dude, My home country is the most murderous in the planet no joke. We have 10000 murders per year and it got that bad when guns right were practically revoked. I don't think you get the psychological power anyone probably having a gun has on criminals, and how not having them leave room for police to literally act like tyrants with the pretext that they are supposed to defend the population instead of themselves. Btw some years prior here we had a famous case of a criminal who was being chased for months and know one even the police couldn't stop him. Dude traveled the whole country and was stopped the minute he got into a farm where the owner had a shotgun (one of the feel instences that you can have a gun here) and shot his shoulder... So yeah guns actually stop shit if you didn't know
This is why most police forces here in america have badge cams. If you think law enforcement in this country is corrupt like the phillipines then you're a complete ignorant fool.
@@Canalbiruta If you outlaw guns, you know someone's just gonna get one anyway. Especially if you could have guns before
David’s mom messed him up. If you look into the case she was responsible for having him over-medicated from a young age. Even the dad pleaded the court to not have him on so much medication when he was young
Also, I don't think people realize the agony to live with a mother that's emotionally unstable. It can properly drive you insane.

I still watch some of DoubleLifts content and I completely forgot all of this happened. The fact that he was able to keep himself together and keep trucking is amazing. Guy is an inspiration.
There was also another story you may have covered it already but it was about someone who flew from American to the UK to murder his prior internet girlfriend after she ended the relationship. He also ratted her prior to the attempted murder and monitored her activity and chats she had with other people. He even researched hand to hand combat and had a murder kit and everything. One sick twisted person. She survived but still that's such a horrible thing to do and was planned out and everything months in advance.
Her boyfriend didn't make it 😢. I am familiar with the case
I'm glad you not only covered Joshua's story, but gave a good context to the violent war on drugs that lead to his death.
but theres still a child whos body was never recovered
Drugs are bad mkay.
@@EnclaveOfficer1776They are but the war on drugs has just led to increased rates of use, death and cost taxpayers billions and billions
my heart especially ached listening to the last story. as a child of filipino immigrants we are taught to be proud in our identity and of our heritage so it is so terrible to hear that the people back in our home country are suffering so much due to the government that is meant to protect them
For real can you imagine being that helpless when the police can just up and take your kid and make him disappear. Whenever they want
Yeah it's tragic case. tbh if you are proud of your country, it likely means that you know very little about it... Pride is a fool's poison.

Don't get me wrong, you can be proud. But you must know the cost, or else you will just be blindly representing something you barely know. That is ignorant.
Doublelift story always gets me. Never lose that time with your parents, never know when they’ll be gone. 😢
Imagine youre going to a gaming conpetition and you find out a competators mother died, his father was in poor condition in a hosital, and that his own brother did it...and on top of all of that, the dude is still attending the competition...bro id leave right then and there lmao thats some beast type sht 😂
And he still has a successful gaming career and uploads to this day! Hes the main character for sure
As a Filipino, I love that last bit about Philippines. It's good that you're spreading awareness about the human rights violations that happened / is happening in the country. Very much appreciated!
I remember idiots in my county commending Duterte when he was first elected and saying we should elect someone like him ourselves. They laughed when people pointed out that making it ok to summarily execute anyone just for being accused of being involved in drugs could easily be used as a tool to silence any political opposition or remove certain groups of people from society. Those same people will now deny that they ever approved of Duterte
how about a north korean feels if he knows about the west and the lies in his country, lay low
What's your personal opinion about the heavy-handed anti-drug war?
@@jth4242 The leaders need to be held accountable for the killings. The war on drugs never worked. It failed. What we have left are thousands of families who lost their fathers, husbands, and children.
@@Verinius Is it more than just Duterte? Interesting take, I've heard some positive takes on Duterte as well, but it has been some time ago now.
This was terrifying for me as my closest friend sent me a picture of his kids playing at the Jacksonville Landing literally an hour before this happened. Apparently he and his kids left about 20 minutes before the shooting started.
Well that’s freaking terrifying. Glad he got out, though I doubt he will be going to any Madden tournaments in the foreseeable future.

The League Story is kinda wholesome, its great to here the guy is thriving in tournaments, hopefully his brother is handed the rightful sentence in prison for life, and I hope his Dad makes a full recover! 👍
Ingrid deserves better. Can't believe they'd let a complete psycho like that run loose after only 14 years. At least that woman who was locked up for 40 years showed actual guilt for her actions.
“She crossed my path”
I highly doubt if some guy that could defend himself crossed your path you would of murdered him.

@@Stoned420Guru you'd be saying the same thing about mass murders. They really do kill anyone that cross their path. And you'd call them a pussy anyway. Just call them all evil and make it even. Not reason to bring your masculinity into this.
It's sickening that a cold-blooded murderer was sentenced to only 14 years in prison. A creep like that WILL kill again if given the chance. Nothing short of life in prison is appropriate for murderers.
Brazil has no life in prison sentence, you can only get 30 years max, but you can cut any imprisonment time by half with good behavior.
Insanity defenses make no fucking sense. "Your honor my client didn't murder someone as a crime of passion, he's a coldblooded psycho killer who does it for fun." "Oh okay let's cut it down to 14 years, unleash him on society again with parole in 8"
as a brazilian i have to say, our justice sistem is *trash* that's why crime rates are so high here
@@CorporateG0thThat just means that the defendant has to be locked up in an asylum instead of a prison. At least in prison you can leave early by behaving good.

A lot of people who become completely obsessed with gaming are usually looking to escape reality. Whether it be to escape violence, loneliness, abuse, or mental problems, it becomes a way to obtain control in a real-world life that doesn’t seem to have any. When they lose a game, get bullied by other gamers, or have their games taken away by family/parents/guardian, the loss of control infiltrates the only place they considered safe and they can’t handle it. They lash out.
you make a really great point and i would just like to add to it. gamers that get pissed about pronouns and trans people don't realize that games are also escapes for trans people too. if you play a game and it has a gay/trans person or the ability to be gay/trans in it, and your immediate reaction is to rage and cry and kill people over it, it's just demonstrative of the fact that games are only allowed to be escapes from reality for Some people. otherwise it's putting "politics" in games, disregarding the fact that games like metal gear solid, call of duty, or one especially on the nose like spec ops the line are all political games. it's only not okay when it's politics they don't like, when it's the lives of people they would rather not think about.
@@soupstoreclothing Tbh. i doubt for many it is an issue that Lgbt/Trans content is included.
It is much more the HOW.
I remember when the Laxamana story broke, I can tell you that how wavy described the DOTA2 police murders are actually even worse. Murders happen on a daily basis here and the police won't even bat an eye and as described would be the main perpetrators of such murders. It's so common that we all just kind of...gotten used to it, sad at it may sound. My heart goes out to the families of Laxamana and Sebastian, I hope you get the justice you've been hoping for.
They literally don't need serial killers because they are all on the police force.
Disagree it seemed like the police are right here
He was on a stolen bike ALONE could've dumped his friend to keep a secret thats why they never found him n been dealing drugs
The fact AN OFFICER GOT SHOT pretty impossible to make that specific detail up as a lie
People who deal drugs steal vehicles to avoid being traced n carry firearms
Yes police can be CORRUPT but its few n far between n is quite rare but ITS SO BLOWN out of proportion we think otherwise
Or me you or someone WHOSE CLOSE to you got caught n you think its unfair
That prejudice caused by genuine emotion can cloud ONES PROPER JUDGMENT
I think he did it because there are details they mention that seem OPEN N SHUT n are near impossible to MAKE UP
I remember hearing about the madden shooting when I was just about to enter my high school esports team, it was during the beginning of the "boom" that was happening and it shook the entire community when that happened. I heard a bunch of organizations did VERY harsh security a week after it.
Same I live in duval and it was so sad It was at the Jacksonville landing so sad, it Got tore down 2019. Rest in peace 🙏 the people lost there lives.
If there was close to no security to begin with, then that’s a problem of it’s own. Even in the homes where the players stay, there’s a lot that goes on. A lot which you won’t know until someone finally decides to put it out there. Moral of the story: safety should be a #1 priority.
Should have been security to begin with. Emotionally unstable and developmentally stunted adults in a country that has easy access to firearms gathering to compete in video games that are the only thing that give their lives meaning is a disaster waiting to happen. Bizarre that nobody realised that until it happened.
An addendum about the Jax Landing: The Landing wasn't demolished because of the mass shooting. The Landing had long been neglected and experienced declining revenue and tenet turnover. There were also safety concerns and inadequate security.
Highlighting the Jax Landing's neglect, GLHF Game Bar wasn't a legal establishment. It was a small backroom in Chicago Pizza at the Landing with minimal egress, with PCs lined against the window and numerous booths with consoles. Organizers had to ask people to leave during the tournament because there wasn't enough space for everyone. Moreover, GLHF didn't have a permit to operate as a business from the COJ and violated numerous fire codes. GLHF was a safety hazard, and I wonder if those two men would still be alive if GLHF had just followed the permitting process and didn't operate illegally.
Btw I truly enjoyed this video so much, it randomly appeared on my home page, and I think your delivery and the way you present your content is really amazing bro. You have earned one more subscriber!
All my love to DL. I haven't seen much of his content but though he was notorious as a trashtalker, he seems really genuine in his streams and it's tragic that he has to suffer through the consequences of his brother's actions. I can't even fathom it. I know it'll never go away; death never does, and i imagine that is especially the case when it is something of this nature. But I hope and believe that he has been and will continue to be capable of coping in a manner that won't be detrimental to his self... Truly one of the most tragic situations I've seen
He's notorious for having a close friend of his turn his back on him and give the team an ultimatum as well as causing a team mate to turn to alcoholism from working with doublelift. dl deserves no respect.
Sadly his personality is still rotten
Just as he said he wanted to reconnect to his family, especially his mother (bc he specifically said he loved his mother after 10 years) this shit hit hard, no one deserves this
I've meat my fair share of trash talkers who outside of competitive gaming were not only chill, but genuine kind ppl. I don't know, maybe is the way they can release their bad parts somewhere lol
@@seffer9772 No, you're the one that deserves no respect for even saying that.
Not surprised on the DOTA police story. I saw a vid where a policeman in the Philippines shot and killed a mother and son, the son was being arrested and the mother wouldn't let him go so the officer shot them. Not only was it caught on video but he shot them in front of their family.

Yeah... It was viral.... Just say the magic word: "I don't care eh! eh! eh!" or "My Father is a Policeman!" And also Don't worry, that Asshole was already Dead... Died in prison. And Still laughingstock alongside with his Daughter to these days.
@@gigag5827 What the heck are you talking about?
@@AmirRazan I think, I need to make some few elaboration as I remember because it had been memed so much... This vid Viral in FB primarily. The context is it went altercation because the victim is using a Boga, A Bazooka like firework for you know.... Fireworks? And it hints that happens around End of the year because Philippines likes cracking some fireworks at that month (Around October to December) even in broad daylight... Then, this Police and his daughter confronts the guy alongside with his grandma... As I remember, this can be fixed by few talks but no! Police in the Philippines likes action! With guns of course! The Daughter brags it that "That her Dad is Policeman!" And they should be get intimidate.... But this old granny said "I don't care Eh! Eh! Eh!" And this "Policeman" snapped, pulls out his gun bang! Bang! Like a Gangster handling aim to the head of both of the Old Woman and Her grand son...
As tragic as what he did was, David Katz was so abused in his life. His mom kept him on drugs he didn't need for most of his life, and the first guy he shot was a player who had been tormenting him for a long time. If you look it up, David had written a book, and Elijah gave it out to people for free, actively sabotaging his attempts to make money off of it. Losing to his bully was too much for him.
Oh come on. These were adults, not little kids. I don’t g.a.f how passionate you are about something, that doesn’t give you the right to kill people.
@@MCMGM86Adults are kids with extra steps.
I'm sympathetic to his situation, but there's no excuse.
Yea I don’t feel bad for elijah at all lol. Rip bozo
@@Ganonussyszestygorillagrip anything that hinders their rational thinking such as mental illnesses/disorders is an excuse, which is why the court is more lenient towards situations like that. it was not their fault they were born or developed a disorder and the op stated he was put on incorrect medication which could've also contributed to his declining mental state. that being said it's still a tragic story all around and it would be very difficult to forgive him for something so heinous.
I’ve watched like 10 of your videos and I realized I was not subscribed. Keep doing what you do man, great work.
One add-on to the Guilherme's case: He didn't get life in prison, not because the jury considered him mentally unstable or sth, but because there is no life imprisonment in Brazil. The system is so ridiculous that is likely he won't even serve his full 14-year sentence in jail.
You guys don't have a "state hospital" for the criminally insane? In the USA he would have been sent into the "state hospital" system and that would effectively be a life sentence for a delusional killer with anti-social personality disorder. The doctors and the hospital director get the final say in whether an inmate is to be released and they'd have a hard time ever letting one like him back out in clean conscience.
@@poisonouslead85 Yeah, but I don't think it would apply to his case (in brazil at least). The state can also hold indefinitely criminals who are considered a permanent threat to society, but its mostly used only in high-profile cases, such as serial killers or leaders of criminal organizations.
He didn't realize chick was actually a dude
Smh he shouldn’t be in the public smh
Guilly when he gets free: 🗡🗡🗡🤪🤪🤪
Man I haven’t cried in a long time but when the announcer told the families that he did die around people that love him I broke a lil bit I won’t lie so sad that man decided to do what he did.
I just got into gaming right when the DoubleLift story broke, and I also only lived not even 5 miles away from the scene. It made me hesitate to even pick up a controller for awhile. Scary stuff.
i have heard about a decent amount of traumatic events that happened on august 26th in many years, including one specific event, one that also happened on august 26th many years back, the world may never heal from: my birthday
but in all seriousness, all of these tragedies, regardless of date, time, cause, motive, etc. they should never be forgotten, in hopes that history never repeats itself
Doublelift is a true champion, all the pain he had to go through his life and yet here he stands as the real inspiration for many people
I remember watching the news about the DOTA 2 murders here in the Philippines.
And let me tell you, 2018 is a freaking violent year, since the, at the time, ongoing War Against Drugs are reaching levels of death that's really making the people worried for their own safety.
It's crazy how in every country drugs win the war every single year. It's almost like treating drugs as a "crime" topic instead of a "public health hazard" topic for decades has not been working.
Yeah, because policemen were getting p áid to kïll the people here in the Philippines
Imagine getting life in prison over a PlayStation. The greed of some people is astounding.
I completely forgot about the Doublelift story. Dude's a gigachad for going and winning the LCS the next week like he did. After that I mentally agreed with myself to support him wherever he went.
Man, I feel so sorry for Yiliang. Glad he's doing okay now.
yeah, hearing him say that one day he'd like to just be their son like normal again and then seeing how that will never really happen truly is pretty heartbreaking
yeah him turning team mates in to alcoholics and team mates giving teams to leave the team if they have to work with yiliang.
I'm also an Asian gamer, but I'm also a game developer.
@@XNDUIWOfficiallol you gon get killed
I'm from Jacksonville and i had frequented GLHF (it was one of the places me and my now husband had one of our first dates) i knew about the shooting but no one would explain the reasoning. (i was living out of state for a job opportunity)I was sad that GLHF never came back after months of promising a rebuild. I completely understand their decision to let that area go now. I thought it was a random shooter (along with the general collapse of downtown)
RIP the Landing.
The landing became too .. uh bad. Anyways
The Landing was a shithole by that point. The shooting was just the death rattle.
NY Subway levels. Rats, roaches, muggings... nah. Bye bye.
I'm just a few hours away and I'm glad I now know the full story
I used to play MvC2 at the Regency Mall on the way to Jax beach. Old school fgc represent
I used to have temper bursts especially with video games and Ive smashed a controller, broke a disk, and punched a hole in the wall. I finally started Lexapro for anxiety in my 20s and Ive never had an anger spout since
I've lived in Jacksonville, FL nearly all my life. I live only about 10 minutes from what used to be the Landing and can remember being at my old job and discussing with my coworkers that the shooting took place. That was the first time I heard someone use the phrase "rest in piss" referring to Katz, of course.
I went to high school with Eli(One of the madden victims) and knew him pretty well. We played football and were in the same film group. He was a talented football player and very smart and polite. He deserved so much better😢
Honestly, my heart goes out ot Doublelift and his family. Having to grow in one of those strict stereotipical asian and black household is rough and I was lucky enough to have my parents support my future as an artist (after having to deal with a lot of things in the past between all of us).
I only heard of DL from this video, but happy to see him push forward
Wait there is a stereotypical “Asian and black” household? I didn’t know that was a stereotype tbh lol.
@@kennypowers1945 I realized my comment and there's kinda stereotypes for all race households, but I specifically was referring to stereotypical asian households. It's where the asian parents expect very high grades and a high paying future, then use harsh punishment if otherwise. Usually a helicopter/tiger parent. Of course, not all asian households are like this, but it's pretty common (or at least a common stereotype we know)
@@kennypowers1945yes at least definitely for Asian households. The stereotype is like the parents expect them to get straight As, learn an instrument, spend all their time studying, no social life. The parents choose the profession for their kids, basically whatever makes the most money, in particular medicine doctor/dentist or atleast a stem field. Extremely strict, overbearing and authoritarian, which may include physical violence, etc.
Obviously it's a stereotype it's not true all the time, but it's definitely fairly common.
@@DVNGXR Unfortunately, it's true too much as evidenced by the suicide rates in asian countries (especially China and Japan).
@@kennypowers1945it's pretty common that in Asian and black households parents are more strict. A white child would be able to yell and scream at their parents without consequences while if you do that in a black or Asian household you will get your ass beat. And the list goes on.
Just Subscribed after binge watching many videos of yours!
I Remember me and my friends used to go to the GLHF game bar when we were way younger. It's surreal to see it pop up in a video years later like this.
Hearing the screams of the people at the madden tourney in real life still haunts me
That's funny
As a Brazilian who was there at the time of the murder of the Call of duty guy, I was staying in Brazil before coming back to the US and it was absolutely terrifying seeing that while living in the same city as the guy, it was all over the news.
Arent worser things happening in the favelas
@@xXClassicUserXx Not as much as ppl think, and not in all favelas. A lot of them are peaceful and well-guarded. There are some where the war on drugs still runs free tho, and most ppl are killed by lost bullets in the operations.
My brother was supposed to be at that Madden Tournament but he decided not to go. Taylor only lived an hour away from me. It still gives me chills thinking out that. Rest in Paradise.
Any police officers caught planting drugs should have to face the full sentence for possession themselves.
As a schizophrenic myself I just want to clarify that we are more of a danger to ourselves than we are to other people. We're not monsters, we're just scared.
As someone who has been in contact with a lot of people going through different mental health issues, illnesses and disorders (because of hospitalization), I'd like to second this.
However, there *are* cases in which these people can present some danger to others.
And that is, if schizophrenia *was* the right diagnosis for Katz
I am in your walls
@@hydreigonchungus LOL, it doesn't work like that. Meme parrot.
@@NoodlyPandafuck that dude lol. hope you're doing well :)
I’ve been lucky to meet many people who happened to have schizophrenia or are schizo-affective. Most of them you would never have guessed there were any issues whatsoever. Working with a team of mental health care providers and being on meds at just the right dose can do wonders for the lives of those with mental illness of any kind. I really hope the stigma of schizophrenia lessens with upcoming, younger generations. Take care and I wish the best for you.
The PS4 robbery was _TRULY_ f***** up. As a PS4 fan and fellow gamer, I’m so sorry for Daniel, may he Rest In Peace. I send my sincere condolences for his family 💐 😢
The league of legends tragedy broke my heart. My heart goes out for Double lift and his family.
Meeting up with urbanites at night... Daniel is the one at fault.
@@Varangian_af_ScaniaeHope something similar happens to you so you know where to lay the blame
@@nashbullet3213 If I were so dumb to meet urbanites at night, you are free to blame me! We don't have many urbanites where I live but we do have plenty of people facing Mecca. I would not meet any of them at night either. Maybe not even fellow whytes.
It's about knowing the risk and not walking into an ambush!
@@Varangian_af_Scaniae It’s so easy to look very careful and smart from the sidelines of a situation
@@nashbullet3213it was 930 at night… lol like what.
Hold up, so the girl who made the killing shot got LESS prison time?!
That's how the law works
The CoD wasn't sentenced to life in prision because in their country there is no life in prision, the max time you can be in prision is 30 years, and for murder usually is 18 years max.
The last story is unfortunately not uncommon. Some police do the "planting drugs" thing. Also yes, there are corrupt police officers - even abusing their power.
I have my respect to police who actually do their job unlike these mfs
@@tuuperasus4202 acab
@@tuuperasus4202 I keep telling myself this too, especially since I have someone on my mom’s side of our family who is actually a good cop. With stories like these though I question… everything.
I'm just so sad about the death of Daniel. The couple from craigslist clearly were very stupid and didn't know what the hell they were doing. It's just sad that it costed Daniel's life in the process.
Lol those kind of people do it all the time, look at the news!

can't believe they let the 2nd guy out after only 14 years. and the reason was he was in a crazed mental state. how do we know that wont happen again? if anything i'd want to keep the insane people locked up even longer.
You're right, but it's Brazil.
Subbed because I watch a lot of your videos and also cause I’m a San Antonio native and saw the Express News and got happy. =]

It's genuinely scary how far people would go for a game on a screen.
same with any sport really...
Not to give them any credit, since they are all mentally ill in some way.
But for the Madden player there was 5k on the line. For somebody like him who doesn't have much going for him in life I imagine it was more important to him than just winning the game.
“It’s only a game, why do you have to be mad?”
You just deliberately ignore the underlying issue of mental illness that caused these tragedies to happen.
@@hookerfooker4281 still gaming being one of the reasons dont undermine that
Darker material than what I’m used to from our normally chill Wavy
David Katz dad was a career engineer for NASA, his mom was a state toxicologist, and his barber was a gerbil with safety scissors taped to its hands
That last one is so infuriating I really cant even stomach the thought that the police, people who're supposed to protect you can be so cold hearted so easily
tbh where im from, i catch myself being more worried about a police cruiser sitting on a corner than some random vehicle with tinted windows and weed smoke coming out of it.
Respect to Danny for not going down without a fight, Rest in Peace ✊.
Would be alive today if he didn't fight
@@BarkerBoyBrizzle victim's fault, right? clearly not the people who robbed him.
So I only discovered this channel (and absolutely love it) but I just realised your voice is so eerily similar to Wang's at some points
I was helping a local COD league plan their first csgo tournament and we were supposed to play at that lan center the weekend after the madden shooting. I had friends that were in the venue that day (everyone came out fine)

I was actually doing security for a company hired by 716-Food (pronounced seven, one, six, food) at the time the Madden tournament event that was held here. I really didn't think very much of the guy. He was just about the least assuming and most introverted guy ever. More uncomfortable under the spotlights than anything else. What a sad, sad thing to have happen. The loss of innocent life is so heinous I don't know how to describe it.
Oh yes 761, pronounced seven one six. Makes total sense
@@wellfuckyoumr damn beat me to it
I always pronounced it: one, seven ,six. Learn something new everyday
I agree with your sentiment, but also… seven one six? 761-Food? Really?
It's 716 Foods. I'll show myself out now, thanks. 🤦♂️
11:20 that was very emotional and classy of the commentator. Im sure it really touched the families of the deceased. Shout out to thay guy ❤
The issue between Catz and Clayton wasn't some rivalry over a game that got out of hand. It's best described as years of bullying with Clayton going out of his way to mess with Catz just because he was socially awkward. Examples include Clayton buying a copy of a book that Catz had published and putting it online for free download. Inviting Catz to share a taxi with him after beating Catz at a tournament only to slam the door in Catz's face and drive off. I am in no way condoning what David Catz did but I feel it is important for that fact to be known for context.
I actually visited the site of the Madden Shooter a couple of time. It was a really cool hang out spot. They had consols, pc's a small food lounge. The place as legit. Worst thing though was that I had a friend that was thinking about attending the event the day of the shooting. Luckily he didn't. Was pretty crazy to have this sort of thing happen in your home city though.
May everyone who lost their lives in these murders rest in peace. Thank you for documenting these cases, it's not easy but these cases need to be heard
Jacksonville local here, I remember right after the shooting my grandmother called asked if me and my brother was ok cause we were gamers. A truly weird time in Jax history
God, the David Kats situation, this was my city. It's really eerie when Facebook gives you the option to mark yourself as 'safe' when it's not hurricane related. The Landing (where this happened) has been town down a few years ago.
Guilherme is the definition of "It doesn't take a killer to murder; it only takes a reason to kill".
also seems he was very anti against certain religions also maybe and would go to extreme lengths to prove it which is worrying.

Bro, when the Dota murder happened, a lot of local gamers actually refused to play beyond 9 pm in local internet cafes because they were afraid that they would get arrested and gunned down too. It's unfortunate that justice wasn't served yet.
Considering what happened to Joshua, I don't even wanna imagine what happened to Julius, especially if they didn't even reveal his body. I'd like to think he's still alive, but I don't think a police force that corrupt would leave behind any potential witnesses.
This is so insane I just pray that my loved ones stay safe in this crazy world
the Call of Duty Mobile murder was such a shock to the community, I remember it was all over the subreddit when it happened
i feel deeply for ingrid, though all of these stories are ofc very sad. being a "gamer girl" i am sure she faced misogyny daily, so for her to meet up irl with a guy she met from a game, he must have really made her think he cared for her, when really he was planning to take her life all along. her last moments must have been filled with horror, regret, betrayal and fear, not to mention the physical pain... may she and the other victims rest in peace.

I always like the way you finish each story, not just randomly after telling the outcome but kind of finishing the way you opened the story... if anyone knows what I mean. Makes it feel complete.
I remember when the Madden thing happened here in Jacksonville Florida, it was insane.
