HAPPY MONDAY! I mean, not really... it's a Monday. But hey, at least there's a new PDS to help ease the pain. hahahaha. Go ahead and skip around or watch the whole thing... maybe even both? ;) Louisiana Car Crash Tragedy and Confusion: (00:06) Emma Stone Oscars Backlash: (4:35) Douchebags of the Day: (6:43) Alex Jones TH-cam Conspiracy: (8:13)
Garbage Gang the difference between an animal who was raised to be and put down for food and an animal born in the wild or bred to be a house pet is incredible. A feral cat/dog, and a house cat/dog being abused is very different from killing a cow or chicken for food.
The story about the kitten abusers is absolutely horrifying. It disgusts me that there were people who thought that was funny and in any way appropriate.
If you're indifferent to animals or keep your distance from them or whatever, that's understandable but torturing an innocent animal for kicks is straight up psychopathic behaviour, it's unjustifiable in my opinion. Also I hope that once these monsters get out of jail, the police still keep a close watch on them because it doesn't take much time for such people to "graduate" to torturing humans
Should put the white guy in a mental institute. Not only did he mangle a harmless kitten, but he was literally about to go on a stabbing rampage with his sharpened spork so. Please like, hmm... keep him away from humanity.
Exactly! Y'all are right about that being a precursor/marker of a "psychopath" bc it shows they don't possess any "empathy"..& inevitably, once that loses its thrill, they start "jonesing" for something bigger & graduate to ppl. (An overwhelming# of school shooters have been documented killing animals). I, too, think they should "commit" ppl for that, bc there isn't any valid reasons, (that I can think of) that would explain how someone, who's "normal", could do something that sick, unless they're a psychopath. Which, there's no "cure" for it, either.. just intense therapy, to curb their impulses.
They got arrested and then one of them tried to make a shank?! That, friends, is why you take animal abuse seriously. People like that don't need to be on the streets.
I got physically nauseous at the kitten story. A wave of sadness, anger, confusion, and sickness all hit me at once as I imagined what the poor kitten had to go through. I'm gonna be honest: I'm not the biggest fan of animals. I think most of them are annoying, but there is absolutely no fucking excuse to do that to an animal, especially one so defenseless and innocent. Unfortunately, this reminds me of when I was young and I was looking out the window of the car while my mom was driving. We were stopped at an intersection and a small pickup truck with two guys pulled up several car lengths ahead. There was a dog who's leash was tied to the back of the car and the dog was running behind the car. As soon as the truck stopped, the dog laid down, panted hard, and was endlessly salivating... just absolutely exhausted. When the light turned green and the truck turned, I vividly remember the dogs face as it hurried to get up and started sprinting... it was tired and scared... it's face so clearly showed that it didn't know if it could run much more, but it had to or it would die. I was too young to understand why this was happening or know what to do, but I knew something was wrong. I don't think my mom saw it and I remember trying to explain what I saw, but she didn't understand. Maybe the dog jumped out of the back and was too stupid or exhausted to try and jump back in, or maybe the 2 guys were really terrible monsters... idk, I'll never know what happend to that dog. But I wish I could go back to that moment as an adult, run up to their car, and try to save that dog.
This why I never watch National Lampoon's movies. They always murder an animal in a horrific way. What you just described happened in one of those movies except that the dog died. And the cop that informed them of it didn't even arrest them. It was played for laughs. FOR FUCKING LAUGHS. The cat exploded in the Christmas one, they murdered a grandma at some point, then I made my policy which included adding Chevy Chase's name to my list which currently includes M. Night Shame-a-llama-ding-bat. Not a name you want to be on a list with. I also wish I could go back to being a kid and force my dad to stop when the car in-front of us hit a dog. We probably couldn't have saved it but I love animals and I still get flashes of seeing that poor animal go ridged as the truck tried to stop. Not the drivers fault, but it still scarred 10 year old me for life.
I wasn't present but my parents were taking my chihuahua to the vet and kept her in the back, when they arrive turns out she was running behind them because she somehow managed to jump from the back on a red light but she was leashed so she probably took quite the hit and had to literally run for her life, she wasn't injured but she was terrified according to them and I think people who saw them might have thought it was abuse but it was just an accident.
I'm so happy those guys that killed the cat actually got jail time. Too many animal abusers get off way too easy. Im happy that more and more places are starting to see it as a serious crime.
Whoever would treat a kitten like that, is deranged. If your first instinct isn't to protect it or leave it alone, but to torture it to death - you're not right. I'm glad the sonofabitch got reported and locked up. Especially since his sentence was lengthened for "Armed criminal action in the Missouri Department of Corrections," and THEN 5 more years were added for MAKING A SHANK OUT OF A SPORK.... That's like.. textbook serial killer progression, there. Good job on keeping guys like these away, internet people and police.
C M sick and broken can be exchanged to mean the same thing. I agree that their minds are broken but then again that also means their minds are sick. Serial killers are most likely also sick. It's not popular to diagnose them because then they won't get a full conviction which I don't think is right. Most of humanity has mental issues to one degree or another but when you lack empathy to such a degree that you could do such a thing to another living thing for fun then you have to be sick. A healthy mind doesn't do that. So no matter what you want to call it, broken, sick, insane, they aren't healthy but that doesn't mean they shouldn't get the worst conviction possible. They knew what they were doing and still went through with it.
They should be punished, but it sad to see that guy who killed that child while driving almost 100mph can get 2-5 years vs guy who killed a cat and got 5-7years...
Voxator well not really if you think about it he made a mistake and was speeding, compare that to purposefully tying a living being to a car and dragging it behind until it dies for the only purpose of amusing yourself. I agree the outcome is worse when the baby died BUT the man had no intention of killing the baby. Also if the parents hadn't been so negligent maybe the child wouldn't have died. One was an accident the other was purposeful torture. How is that not something that deserves more punishment?
Wendy Wright a lack of empathy isn't rare, I'm not saying it's common, but it isn't that rare. I could see people being totally mutilated and not worry, but I'd still know it's wrong as that is what society taught me. These people still would've thought about the consequences if that was the case. I'd likely blame it on a mix of other mental illnesses and drugs and that would still make it their fault
My kitten had normal surgery the other day and just the pain he has to be in from it breaks my heart. Anyone touches any of my pets to harm them will not come out of it well. People who hurt animals should spend the rest of their life behind bars.
Not just an animal too, like a small kitten that can not fight back in any way. Even if it was a fully grown cat it'd be better because at least it'd have a small chance of escaping.
Need special prisons for people like this. Make dragging them behind a truck a spectacle event. Makes money and teaches others that this is the punishment for crimes like that. It's worked in the past.
Unfortunately this is not the first story I've seen online of someone dragging an animal behind a car. There was a video circulating some time back of a man doing something like that to a dog, in broad daylight, in a busy street. It was outside of the U.S. so idk if he was ever even punished for that. It makes me utterly sick to hear stories of animal abuse.
I like how the only one on this platform that is exempt from Community Guideline Strikes is Logan Paul - meanwhile anyone else (literally anyone else) will be striked
Considering what's been revealed by the recent LAWSUIT against Google, is it any wonder what TYPE of people they hired to police TH-cam? I mean, they've been shown to destroy resumes from asian and white men. That's some pretty far-left bias. And lets face it, they DO practically control much of the information on the internet. I wouldn't want people with any kind of extreme ideologies wielding that kind of power.
They should have an "Animal Abuser" program like with sex offenders. The title should also appear right under their name on their driver's license. And how about them also having to pay extra taxes every year that goes to fund animal shelters and care programs?
I disagree, while I find animal abusers horrible, such public display and additional taxes are just bs and don't help them get back into society after prison, I also disagree with the sex offender list (at least till the age of consent is adjusted into a period, like: starting from 14 onwards a person is able to consent to sexual acts with persons up to 7 years older than him/herself and from 18 normal age of consent is given)
You can't hide your charges in prison, people will find out what he did to get in there and he'll fucked. (Quite possibly literally) The fact he was sharping a spork into a shank tells me he's already getting threats.
rexpwnzer, Thank you for pointing that out. My heart is lifted with the thoughts of what the other prisoners will do to these disgusting sacks of water wasting our air. Though, I would personally prefer the punishment to fit the crime, I know that is unrealistic. Vote for me, dictator of the world.
Some people will get even worse after going in prison. You killed a kitten? Lame! I killed a whole family with a hammer and still had time to rape 2 corpses before the cops arrived.
Thank you for not showing the photo of the dead cat. It kept popping up on my Facebook feed. There’s a way to bring attention to abuse without going just for shock value.
Sean Cave yeah, I was mindlessly scrolling one day and 3 of my friends posted the graphic photo of the dead cat. I know to them they were raising awareness about animal abuse, but man the photo haunted me. I donate regularly to a no kill animal shelter and volunteer with a free spat/neuter clinic for cats.
Safety Geek Chick Oh, I thought that the Facebook algorithm was like "hey, here's something that's going on, you wanna see?" And then getting the horrible sight brought to your attention. I get what you mean with your friends, at least their hearts are in the right place even if they may not have gone about in the best way.
Same here, I love my cats! My one cat we actually found abandoned, just dumped to the side of the street, and it makes me sick to think what would've happened if we had never found her. What if she'd gotten into the hands of those sick freaks? My cats are my family and that poor little kitten deserved to have a good life with a family of her own. :(
I could barely deal with Phil talking about the details. Such a pure and innocent creature treated with such hatred and evil. It totally crushes my heart.
hannes jacobsson I am not but I agree to an extent. Cats and stuff are not a traditional food source and are usually not farmed. They are pets. Not things to be killed.
hannes jacobsson don't see what him being a vegetarian has anything to do with him speaking out against disturbed individuals that torture and abuse helpless animals. There is a difference between culling a cow quickly and not painfully and dragging a cat for 5 minutes behind a truck until it dies.
I am so hurt by the kitten story. Is there a way that we can petition the judge to give them life in prison, or a longer prison sentence? Any lawyers, help us out please.
FeaR Fusion it’s because the kitten was killed and tortured by two inbred hicks and the baby thing was an accident although it is still fucked up, the fact that those two went out of they’re way to do that to an innocent creature is more disgusting to us
No. That's not how the law works. If the majority could decide punishment for the minority, then America would fall apart at the seams. The law is the law, what you could do is petition to change the law to make the minimum sentencing a larger amount.
K I wonder how close to the maximum sentence this already was. And there's no appeal on the prosecution side in the US, because of how they interpret the double jeopardy protection in their constitution.
Honestly i think a LOT of people are just waiting, ive been waiting for years. youtube has gotten worse and worse and worse ever since they sold to google. The reason i started using an ad blocker wasnt because of porn sites, or any other site. It was because of youtube. With its INSANE amount of ads. I go on say pornhub right now, ill block 10-15 items. youtube its 30+. hell my "name" came from when youtube FORCED me to change it. went from prompting me every time i logged in to change my name, to out and out refusing not to be changed. Wanted me to put my first and last name in. like are you shitting me? you dont need my private information, and sure as HELL the entire world doesnt need it. So yeah, fuck google and fuck youtube. I cant wait for content creators to really populate a new site so i can support with a REASONABLE amount of ad's. And some actual fucking control of my profile.
People don't seem to grasp that all TH-camrs are essentially cheap employees to TH-cam who retain full editorial control over their media outlet as well as revenue streams without the same due diligence an actual media company would be expected to uphold. That TH-camrs get money at all and aren't charged for being able to use TH-cam is them being gracious. It wouldn't work but it would be in their right. Don't think any newcomers will be any nicer, the benefit of breaking a monopoly nonwithstanding.
Won't lie, I hate cats. Utterly despise them. But never in my 29 years of life would I have ever thought to torture a poor animal like that. Just hearing about that makes me feel unclean. Tomorrow morning I'm going to go out to my local gocery to get some catfood and feed all the local wild cats in my neighbourhood. Maybe then I won't feel so damn misanthropic.
I was disgusted when I heard Emma Stone saying 4 men and "the name of the woman director". I thought it was totally distasteful, and dismissed these brilliant directors because of their gender. What a joke.
She wanted her 2-minute of "oooh...what a powerful lady she is" #Emma2020 People in older time weren't wrong when they said that Hollywood wasn't for good people. It's a disgusting place full of hypocrite who keeps silent when they see people around them getting harassed. And when they find the right moment, they leave no chance to let the limelight go away.
Agreed! I'm a feminist, and I wish she would have said something about how it was good for a women to be in this field, like about how we're starting to equalize, both in race and gender. NOT just her name...as is GDT isn't one of the most famous directors of all time
I personally find it ironic to protest sexism by being sexist. Ironic and disgusting. You can not create a positive change in the world by becoming the very thing you seek to remove!
I hate when people try to “include” people based on race and gender on these award shows, it should be who ever made the best content not just throwing in random people just to reach a quota.
Lololol Lolololol exactly their was a golden age where people took it as that but now women are getting motivated by troglodytes like sarah silvermen and thinks there’s a giant problem with sexism towards women like in the 1920 when men openly beat there wifes
Lololol Lolololol and my favorite quote from Morgan Freeman when asked how it feels to be a successful black actor he said something along the lines of I am just an actor. Stop emphasizing color. It doesn't matter. (I would give the real quote if I could find that interview, but that was ages ago)
Phillip Scott sorry buddy, but these type of comments make no sense considering what Phil said. Unless someone suggested a quota, in which case my bad I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
MewSakura12 What doesn't make sense about the comment? The comment makes tons of sense based on the story Phil covered. You know that whole part that Phil wants a conversation and thoughts? This is what this comment is. Makes complete sense. If anything your first comment makes no sense. No one is debating the winners, but that people should not be included just to have filled their "woman" or "POC" quotas in order to look politically correct.
To be fair, it's likely that the officer will get 5 years and the mother much less, but I do agree that the mother should have a different charge, maybe just criminal negligence if that is possible (not that I know much about US law). It's completely unfair that someone driving twice the speed limit into another car is getting the same charge as someone who made a really, really, really stupid mistake.
The Bandog I never stated that whatsoever. Regardless of either she was the mother or the father, she was in part responsible for the death. I'm just saying its not on the *same* level as the cop who hit them, which he was directly responsible for the death of the child.
I find it interesting that a lot of people are asking for a trigger warning on animal abuse but this was literally after talking about a neglected child that was killed in a violent car accident with pictures of the wreckage.
I think the difference is that Phil went into graphic detail about how the kitten was tortured and what the torture did to the body. With the kid that was killed, he just said the kid was killed in the accident without going into detail about the extent of the injuries.
What are these people going to do if they ever are confronted with the real world though, just freeze up and die. While horrible the story about the kitten shouldn't effect you in any way, if it does it's time to toughen up, it only gets worse from here.
Aspen Young No, sorry. I live in Flint - surrounded by plenty of "real world" shit, but I still don't want to hear details about a kitten being dragged to death. If that didn't affect you, something's wrong.
Aspen Young If hearing about the graphic murder/torture of a defenceless animal doesn't affect you in any way, you might be lacking in the empathy department. You should probably see a psychologist to get a diagnosis, because you just might be a heartless sociopath.
That mom seems pretty damn guilty of negligence. All those kids and adults, unsecured, the driver not even having a license. Her negligence and that officer's recklessness are both at fault.
Commodorefan64 technical fouls?? So your saying that wedging your child between two seats and not having everyone else in the car buckle up, on top of have way too many people in the car, is a technical foul? I think the officer should be charged harsher, but if they were in another type of accident, where they got t-Boned (let’s say at a turn where it is hard to see other cars coming) this could have easily happened. There needs to be accountability on both sides here.
Agree. Also agree with what they were charge with. If the state does have it shouldn't the off duty cop also be charge with manslaughter or culpable homicide (ie unintentially causing the death through your actions)
Same... I have 3 rescue cats. I feel sick to my stomach after hearing that story. I’m just crying and hugging one of my cats as tight as she’ll let me. I’ll never understand how there’s such scum in the world who choose to hurt innocent animals and kids...
People who abuse animals NEED harsher punishment. It’s poor, defenseless animals now (which disgusts me in a way that it just hurts my soul), is it gonna be little kids and humans in general next? Something is not right in the brain of someone who would do such a sick and twisted act. There is such a thing as a sociopath. That one kid looked pretty fucking stoked to be taking a mugshot for torturing an innocent baby animal.
The animal abusers disgust me. I hope they get the absolute shit kicked out of them in prison. Every single day. I hope they cry. I hope they have to beg for mercy.
it would apt to tie them to a car and have them chase after it until they get dragged for a bit, not enough to kill them but enough to show them what it was like.
Matthew nothing The problem is, is that the same could be said for movies who win awards with an all-white cast for lackluster performances. Is La La Land really worthy of nearly being a winner of an academy award simply for "nostalgia" purposes versus a movie that provides an analysis for the psyche of a dysfunctional family that carries layers of complexity. Black people have watched all-white casted movies that win based on a favoritism so clear you would have live on a mountain with drunk goggles not to see it versus complex, layered films based on historical reconstruction, poetry, and/or the steps that led to human growth. Mexican americans make beautiful films constantly but how many directors do you know? It's not a fake win given for pity unless all the winners who have ever won have won based on pity and guilt
If a cop breaks the law, they should be punished way more than a civillian. He was travelling almost twice the speed limit, how many times has he personally punished people travielling 5pmh over the limit?
theZbanana I want to agree with you but there's an argument to be made giving leniency (depending on the law they broke i guess). But they should definitely be judged the same as everyone.
Hard to Kidnap Why would it be ridiculous? I guarantee that the job description says something of “ of good moral character.....”. That doesn’t just apply to on the job, that’s at all times. If I have my CDL drivers license there are harsher punishments to me even when I’m driving my own vehicle off hours.
Ross Turner I mean I’m vegetarian, so I don’t eat them or wear them. However, eating an animal is different than tying it up to a Jeep and murdering it.
That Alex Jones impression was too Good!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 PS Thanks for cropping the photo of the guy with the cat! I didn't want to see that, and thanks James' editing I didn't 👍
the cat story is devastating. omfg. why. why. why. why. and they're not serving nearly enough time. Something that intentional and with that much proof. WTF!
Jera Sky I saw the original post and many of the other members think he did it intentionally so he could get back into prison. Apparently he's been in and out of jail multiple times but I'm not entirely sure how accurate that info is.
I find it hard to even listen to stories like what those kids did to that kitten but it's important to remember what kind of horrible people exist in the world.
In case you're wondering why you might've had a stronger reaction to the kitten story than you did to the human baby who died, here's why: Phil only mentioned the baby's death as a whole event. But with the kitten, he went into a lot of detail about the last terrifying few moments of its life, and described the death and the injuries and the appearance of its body pretty extensively. It creates a more visceral specific metal picture. It's not about the species of the two victims, it's about how the story was presented. It's also that the kitten was killed in a very deliberate way by these monsters who took pleasure in their crime.
thefortysecond I would abuse animals any day if I was presented with one I don’t like. Humans and animals aren’t compared together. Humans are higher than animals at anything really
Kaizee I hope someone takes note of your comment and monitors you very closely. You're a very sick individual. How about just avoid that you don't like instead of being a deplorable sick case.
I would be very careful with the next thing you say because now I am and others I know are monitoring you, if you even blink we will know. Good job on raising alert to me :)
+Boblymon False. Look at crime rates in Singapore, lowest in the developed world. Why? Because of the cruel, medieval punishments they dish out for bad crimes. If we lashed people for crimes in addition to the jail sentences, there would be far fewer repeat offenders. Again, study Singapore crime and punishment.
Boblymon I think you're taking this a wee bit too seriously. It's not like I was actually going to go find them and strap them to the back of the car. It does seem a bit suspicious that you're getting all up in arms about it though.
+Boblymon Again, look at Singapore. If you want a law abiding society, get out the cane and make the punishment for crime unthinkable. For example, I went to a Catholic grade school with corporal punishment and it was an excellent learning environment and the "bad" kids were basically still angels. The fear of the paddle kept us in check. Then I went to a majority black public high school where bad behavior was met with positive reinforcement(ie suspension, expulsion). It was a polar opposite situation and it was one of the worst rated schools in the state, which was 49th/50 in education. Negative reinforcement works. And whatever drove these boys to torture the innocent little animal doesn't just go away. Like pedos, they will be that way for life.
The mother should be punished as if it was a terrible unpreventable accident, made fatal by failing to secure the child properly. (imagine instead of speeding, someone blew a tire and lost control). The officer should be punished as if everyone in the vehicle was properly secured, in a properly functioning vehicle, with a great safety rating. (harshly)
Choosing an Oscar winner based on gender, race or sexual preference is disgusting. Let the best one win and not try to steal away a prize from someone because you wanted to be "inclusive".
I agree. It shouldn't matter what you are if you were clearly the best at something. It is the same with jobs really, the best person for the job should get the job, not the person that just happens to help fill a quota for a specific gender or race or something. Sadly, the SJWs don't see it that way. They see it as being sexist or racist or whatever when they aren't "included". It's stupid and quite frankly, needs to stop. I wouldn't want to win an Oscar based on my sex/skin color/or sexual preference, I'd want to win it cause I deserved it.
I'm glad you gave a shoutout to Dave Rubin. He is one of the most honest, best TH-cam creators out there. Some of the best hour-plus long interviews out there. You and him are very much alike in how you cover the news and important events: honest and clearly state your bias.
Hearing the story about that poor cat makes me sick to my stomach. Can we get the death penalty for these two? Purposely ending the life of an innocent animal in such a horrific way is unforgivable. I CANNOT believe I have to live on the same planet as people like that....Hey Elon Musk, can I catch a ride to Mars to escape this?
Seriously. We hear stories so many times of people hurting other people and that's awful but people hurting poor defenseless animals almost make me go into a rage. If I had the opportunity I would make those two suffer in the same way
The Scarlet Chorus It wasn't farm water, but rather another case of corporations dumping leftover chems. Blaming farmers for this is a shitty thing to do.
I almost threw up hearing about the story of the cat oh my fucking goodness, that’s a fucking animal, it’s feels pain and it has a fucking heart. God that makes me sick to my stomach
It's so fascinating how so many people in the comment section, including myself, want the guy who killed the cat dead. Our appetite for vengeance is eerie. So many innocent, moral and upstanding citizens would probably get a euphoric rush if watching the guy dragged behind a car and killed in front of them. It just goes to show that human virtue can never solely reside in goodness, but most be accompanied by inherent darkness.
Hey Mr. DeFranco, I'm new to your channel and was referred by a friend. I just wanted to commend you on your even-handed, thoughtful approach to the issues you cover. There's no table-pounding, ranting, extremist diatribes, no promotion of fake stories, and you're not a rabid ideologue. You seem to take a mature approach to your essays, and I appreciate you giving us examples of non-toxic commentary.
I'd just like to take a moment's to appreciate that animal abuse is punishable with strict prison time. Yet... doesn't seem to be enough for these monsters. Disgusting.
Why does everything have to be about gender and skin color holy shit just pick the best for what it is, the best... not based on the creators skin color
It's a swinging pendulum, because PoC and women were not represented/given equal opportunities or rewarded for their work in the past, now people are forcing equality.
I remember hearing about the Aloha controversy before I started paying attention to identity politics. I took the controversy at face-value and didn’t have any opinions either way. Then on a random flight in 2016, I saw Aloha was one of the movies available, so I decided to watch it. Emma Stone plays a half-white, quarter Chinese, quarter ethnic Hawaiian Air Force pilot. So with that info, her being white isn’t ludicrous, the plurality of her ethnicity is European descent. But what really pissed me off was that none of the people who I’d heard criticizing her being cast mentioned that her character’s primary conflict was her inability to truly feel a part of her Hawaiian heritage and community because she didn’t look ethnically Hawaiian. Literally, the movie would *not* have made sense if she looked Hawaiian. I can’t believe people are still talking about this controversy, they can’t have watched the movie because if they did they would know that the directors couldn’t cast someone who looked ethnically Hawaiian. This identity politics is already way out of hand. She literally pandered to these leftist identitarians, but it wasn’t enough or it was offensive. GTFO.
Cauldronb0rn I think Get Out’s nomination was more specifically about the racial commentary in the film itself, not jus the fact that it was written and directed by a black man.
The story about the kitten was incredibly painful. As cat-persons and animal lovers, it obviously struck me and my wife painfully (so much so, my wife sat next to me sobbing as the story continued). I was troubled, however, with how the story was covered and placed in the show. In the past, you've made a point to not name names or show images of those evil people who commit terrible crimes. However, this story felt a bit exploitative. You featured their faces, their names, a still from their video; you described in detail what happened to the kitten and its state after it had died. No, not all news has to be good news, but, man . . . this crushed us this afternoon, and while the Alex Jones story did kind of bring things back on track and should probably be the biggest take away from the episode, I can't shake the mental image of an animal abused and mocked as it was killed. (If nothing else, the Today in Awesome could have been placed after that story to TRY to bring us back up a bit . . . )
I totally agree that was so painful to listen to that I turned the video off afterwards and took 10 minutes to turn it back on. I love cats and animals as well I think the placement of the story could have been better. I’m glad to be informed but I think some of the details could have been omitted...
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I felt deeply disturbed listening to the content of the abuse that I also had to pause the video. I could've done without that mental image. Hearing that I wasn't the only one who was so affected helped a bit.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I choked on my food and started bawling, had to pause the video for a while. I wish there had been some sort of warning before getting into the story or less details.. Rest in Peace, kitten.
I agree, I do think it's important that he covers these stories but it makes my heart feel physical pain. Phil, I very much agree with your policy to not show the dirt bags faces and I do hope that you will stick to it. No blame from me, I'd just like to see you take this policy of yours further. And yeah, lets tie them to a truck. I've got a big truck, some rope, and a cactus and bramble covered field with their names written all over it. I won't even kill them, I'll turn them back to the police once they've got thorns and spines in every cranny. Have fun with those in prison.
This is news and granted when it involves humans phil tends not to name names of the D of th Day. But when it comes to animal cruelty he names and shames those scummy mofos asap. And details are not something phil scimps on in his coverage of a story.
That’s what they have been doing for 89 years but now we have to be sure each category is inclusive, so we have to make sure there is a woman and someone of color nominated less there be a riot.
Hi Phill, First of all, I watch your shows every day. I share many of your points of view and, although many of the topics discussed are not form my country, I wish more people could take the subjective approach you have on matters. I live in El Salvador, a country with its share of social injustices and horrors but also beauty and warm hearted people (just like every other country in the world). This past weekend we had our elections for Alcaldes (Mayors) and Diputados (the equivalent to congressman in the States) which was marked by a controverted process , a great deal of Salvadoreans expressing their discontent with the politics of our current government and president, the fact that Diputados make from 10 to 25 times the minimum wage in a country overwhelmed by poverty and obvious acts of corruption from members of the government. All of this among a resurgence of violence and murder sprees from gangs besides possible future changes in the US migratory regulations (risking the financial stability of countless families who depend on money remittances) has Salvadoreans in our tip toes feeling uncertainty of what the future will hold for us. My message is sent in hopes that it reaches you and, if you so will, touch the topic of our most recent elections held this past Sunday in one of your shows. Besides me being curious about your point of view I feel this is one of the only ways to bring the reality of my country into the rest of the world. The complaints of its citizens fall into the deaf ears of its corrupt leaders who refuse to take action because of their own personal motives and at this point, without an international entity stepping in, I doubt the situation will change in a near future. Thanks for your attention and pardon my grammatical mistakes.
Why can't I ever hear Phil say "And today nothing bad happened and a new flavour of marshmallow was invented. Puppies and kittens have been spotted enjoying these together in comfy beds and donating these things to homeless people."
in germany (hard) labor is the only type of prison people can be sentenced to, most european countries have labor prisons, and they have a very low returning rate, labor is the better punishment ( and maybe they pick up a trade there, so they can resocialize better)
Who cares what color or gender an Oscar winner is, as long as they deserve that win? Don't give the award out to someone just because of their race, sexuality, or gender, give it to the person who's worked hardest and has the best results. Simple.
The Emma Stone one I find interesting. I've seen a few things similar to this in recent years. Yes, there should be more women and more diversity in terms of those nominated for awards in the film industry. But this has clearly improved in the last 2 or 3 years. Also, "these four men" happen to be brilliant film makers and absolutely deserve to be nominated. Their achievements shouldn't be minimised and generalised as 'just another male nominee' just by way of them being men. If a woman were to make the same film they should rightly receive similar acclaim. But it would be interesting to find out which female directors Emma Stone thinks should have been nominated instead or in addition to the current nominees. It shouldn't reach a point where women directors are just being thrown onto a list for diversity purposes, a nomination should reflect incredible talent and achievement. To nominate someone for mere diversification issues is, I believe, a strange reverse form of discrimination and would also trivialise the immense honour of being nominated for an academy award. Diversification issues are ones which need to be resolved but shouldn't replace the recognition of talent, hard work and achievement.
This right here is what liberals and conervatives must agree on. The anti-white bashing (and other types of discrimination towards other ethnicities) must stop!
So do meat eaters. Put all meat eaters in jail for 5 years. What's the difference between torturing an animal for fun and killing an animal for taste pleasure?
How about instead of relying on a fairy tale to punish them we do it in real life? Tie them to the back of a sports car and drive full speed through the city.
Special prison that can give them special punishments. I.e. deathrace and deadman wonderland. Those things aren't real people. Drag them behind a truck until their legs give out
I am a mother of a child who, as a baby, contracted an infection that there was no way I could protect him from, that affected him in a way that had to be carefully documented because it was so rare. By the grace of God he recovered, only losing an eye, and being dubbed a 'miracle baby' by his physicians. That is why it infuriates me to my CORE to see mothers doing bat-shit crazy, mother fucking STUPID shit that can endanger their children. I would give my life to protect my kids, and you couldn't say "hey, this car is pretty full, imma catch a cab"????? Really??? The speeding driver is obviously at fault for the collision, and should be punished, but that mother is 100000000% to blame for the extent of her child's injuries.
Andrea Lahey Right because she was the only who was going double the speed limit and caused the collision. The child was in a car seat. The seats were fastened; although not 'adjusted to the child's height'. Maybe she did not know there are to be elongated as the child grows? Maybe she thought they were just going around the corner. Regardless, she made steps to keep her baby safe. You're on a mighty high horse.
I am under the impression the seat wasn't fastened into the car properly, wasn't even in the back seat. That is pure stupidity. If I'm wrong, then my comment does not apply. If I'm right, you're free to disagree, just as I'm free to have this opinion.
Putting a child in a car seat does not automatically guarantee their safety. Each car seat comes with an instruction manual so that you can know how to use it and the proper way to secure your child in it. There is no excuse for her. If she had that baby in it the right way as well as in the back seat, the baby might still be alive.
Because they are psychopaths. Not always, but people who get their rocks off torturing animals often take the next step. Read some accounts of mass murderers and animal killing/torture is almost always how these sociopaths get started.
Because it is funny. Duh. Violence is funny. Well, entertaining, more specifically. Humans have always been drawn to violence. Boxing is a sport, where people smash each other's faces. Modern version of gladiator fights. It's in the media, too. Violent video games, violent movies. Sure 'it ain't real', but it looks real, doesn't it? The more real it looks, the better, in fact. There are other examples, but you get the point, right? Stop acting so fucking shocked, people. The comment section is full of "Oh, how could this happen? What kind of monster would find that entertaining?" Look in the mirror - there's your answer. What those teens did was a crime, sure, but it's nothing special. Mind you, if they did it in China, it _wouldn't even be a crime._
1) Regarding the Oscars...I didn't watch...I don't care. AND 2) Regarding TH-cam...Alex Jones SAYS tasteless & insensitive stuff is getting hit w/strikes, but Logan Paul who SHOWS tasteless & insensitive stuff is not???
How can you compare ... Logan paul and alex jones,????? Like Logan Paul does slightly tasteless stuff but incredibly minor .... Alex jones ... convinces people that .. mass shootings are fake leading to those survivors getting death threats ... He spread lies about FEMA organizing concentration camps ... He told parents that Child protective services take the kids mostly daughters then the kids become sex slaves He convinces people that hurricane Katrina and majority of the wests tornadoes are made by the government ... to test weather weapons ...... He called the Boston bombing ... a government organized attack... He terrifies people about fluoride ... aka a heathy addition to our water supply His community is toxic ... Logan Paul is so minor it's not even funny ... tell me how Logan Paul is worse than Sam pepper????
CNN told us Hillary had a 80% chance of winning.. Only over-sensitive people complain about others not being as sensitive as them.. If words offend you..maybe you should look into becoming deaf..you know...to protect your sensitivities that don’t affect the rest of us.
B.o.B aka the real Neil Degrasse Tyson what Logan Paul did in Japan was minor? You must be crazy. What he did was very disrespectful. Not just the suicide forest thing. Going to the Temple, fish market and acting like a jackass was even worst.
B.o.B aka the real Neil Degrasse Tyson I don't know, I'd say they're on pretty even terrain. While Jones uses his platform to spew out crazy/hurtful ideas that people may or may not listen to, Logan is making videos of himself actively fucking with people and being a genuine twat (even if you put the suicide forest video aside). In my book, they're each just as bad as the other. They have an audience that eats all their shit up.
Logan is the future of TH-cam. His audience is only kids which bring in more money than adults. TH-cam carries Logan because he's basically their main source of income and viewers, future and present.
Yes the mother is at fault but the speeding driver is more at fault then her. Their crimes don’t equal each other’s That man was really smiling in his mug shot & the picture of him with the dead cat 🤬😡😠
MMM they're pretty close, Letting your child into a car that is unsafe, with 8 ppl inside is probably as dangerous as speeding for multiple reasons. The driver didn't even have a driving license as I recall. Concentration, talking , reaction time, seat being not in the correct place all these are serious factors. Perhaps they're not one exact same level , but very very close In my opinion.
I think anybody who willingly throws their child in a vehicle without proper restraint deserves the max penalty. You wouldn't put your child on a rollercoaster without the fall safety fitting, so you shouldn't put your kid in a vehicle without making sure they have the highest chance of survival if something WERE to happen.
I (as a woman) thought Emma Stone's comment was kind of weird. Yes, directing is a male-dominated category and I hope that changes, but it's also a considerable accomplishment to have two men of color nominated. Congrats to all male and female nominees!
cat dog Directing being male dominant will never change. Men are less agreeable and more assertive due to testosterone. To be a director you need to assertive and men tend to be more interested in things where they are the leader or things associated with objects. This is why there’s more men in tech and corporate fields. They are just more interested in it and being less agreeable makes you more stubborn thus makes you more likely to be successful (there’s a reason why successful people are usually less in agreeableness). Btw these are on average and mainly due to brain structure.
i'm sad colour and gender is now half the reason someone should win. as an asian..i hope i get chossen cause i was good and not for a political agenda..i would be pretty bummed lol
Hey, guys, random latino Argentinian guy here! Start nominating people based on how good they perform instead of trying to fill racial and gender quotas! :D Crazy idea, right?
Pablo Matías Valdés Yeah the Oscars need to give them to people who can truly act like Cher, Jennifer Lawrence, Cathrine Zeta Jones, Frank Sinatra,Gweneth Paltrow,Angilena Jolie and Nicholas Cage. Yeah they all won Oscars for acting, look it up.
Rowankeenanx3 Are you saying that Cher and Nicholas Cage deserved to win Oscars? If Nicholas Cage was not a Capolla he would not be famous. Hell I would be famous too if over 30 of my family members worked in Hollywood.
holy frick, I'm listening to that animal abuse story with my little kitten who I saved from abuse just sleeping on me. I'm definitely not almost crying why would you say that
8:00 I guarantee you, sentencing these two psychos to spend time in prison just prevented a mass/school shooting. 99% SURE that these type of kids would have committed a mass shooting. GUARANTEED. Glad they're in prison
You realize there is a firearm black market that will still sell them guns, and they will eventually get out of prison and still be able to shoot up a school? They might even be more inclined to do so once they get out because they'll feel wronged by the system and rejected by society, or incur some other kind of trauma that fucks up their mind even worse.
6:50 Never thought I'd see the Cellulites being mentioned on Philly D. Yeah I was around for the original post and plenty of people from the group worked together to get his ass arrested.
id104335409 Circle of life... But seriously, what they did to the cat is disgusting and I think they deserve to be punished for it so it gives an example for others who consider this type of thing entertaining.
*What I wouldn't give for 5 minutes in a locked cage with those animal abusers ...* I take great solace in knowing that those monsters are behind bars. However, I'm *NOT* happy that the monsters who witnessed the abuse and did nothing, and worse, those who witnessed it and encouraged it as if it was a joke, are still around. Charges should be pressed on *ALL* the filth that encourages animal abuse.
In regards to the cat torture story, can we have an "eye for an eye" moment? Do monsters, again, monsters, not people, deserve to be breathing the same precious air as the rest of us?
I'd think some serious time in prison. People who do that kind of stuff have much deeper psychological issues and are just trash excuse for people. Make people fear abusing animals as much as the US does to drug abuse
Azure Vizor I hope they live for years, miserably, and what they’ve done follows them for their entire life until they finally can’t take it anymore and tie a rope around their own neck :)
Meg Alyssa Same. I am highly opposed to doing a remake of Mary Poppins, one of my favorite movies, due to the fear of it sucking hard, but Lin is in it! I'd sell my soul to see it.
Thanks for the Child Passenger Safety shout-out, Phil. Not all fire stations are also seat fitting stations, but they should be able to direct anyone who inquires to local resources.
HAPPY MONDAY! I mean, not really... it's a Monday. But hey, at least there's a new PDS to help ease the pain. hahahaha.

Philip DeFranco it doesn't ease my sadness. Sorry Phil.
What hell is wrong with those guys, pardon me, monsters who tied the cat to their jeep?
Edge lords trying to be edgy for views/fame.
Country bumpkins
You probably eat meat so
#Hypocrites
I knew exactly who you were talking about
Garbage Gang the difference between an animal who was raised to be and put down for food and an animal born in the wild or bred to be a house pet is incredible.
A feral cat/dog, and a house cat/dog being abused is very different from killing a cow or chicken for food.
The story about the kitten abusers is absolutely horrifying. It disgusts me that there were people who thought that was funny and in any way appropriate.
sophisacat :3 Yeah, but why does Phil even have to cover it? Nobody wanted to hear about that.
Ok I’m not that horrified but I am disappointed and disgusted. People are retarded and just plain cruel.
I had to stop watching. It makes me sick
The LowEnd I actually have to admit I completely agree. I'm deeply disturbed by the story, and call me sensitive, but it fucked me up.
I couldn't help but get emotional, it broke my heart, that poor kitten... They are true monsters.
If you're indifferent to animals or keep your distance from them or whatever, that's understandable but torturing an innocent animal for kicks is straight up psychopathic behaviour, it's unjustifiable in my opinion. Also I hope that once these monsters get out of jail, the police still keep a close watch on them because it doesn't take much time for such people to "graduate" to torturing humans
Should put the white guy in a mental institute. Not only did he mangle a harmless kitten, but he was literally about to go on a stabbing rampage with his sharpened spork so. Please like, hmm... keep him away from humanity.
Exactly! Y'all are right about that being a precursor/marker of a "psychopath" bc it shows they don't possess any "empathy"..& inevitably, once that loses its thrill, they start "jonesing" for something bigger & graduate to ppl. (An overwhelming# of school shooters have been documented killing animals). I, too, think they should "commit" ppl for that, bc there isn't any valid reasons, (that I can think of) that would explain how someone, who's "normal", could do something that sick, unless they're a psychopath. Which, there's no "cure" for it, either.. just intense therapy, to curb their impulses.
Is there a cure for this kind of psychopathy? If not, then what's the point in giving these people a short-term sentence?
They got arrested and then one of them tried to make a shank?! That, friends, is why you take animal abuse seriously. People like that don't need to be on the streets.
Absolutely agree! Many serial killers begin with torturing animals.
I love your rat in the picture! I have 9 rats myself
People like that don't need to be alive.
They don't need to be on this planet.
Thank you! :) She was my very first rat.
I got physically nauseous at the kitten story. A wave of sadness, anger, confusion, and sickness all hit me at once as I imagined what the poor kitten had to go through.
I'm gonna be honest: I'm not the biggest fan of animals. I think most of them are annoying, but there is absolutely no fucking excuse to do that to an animal, especially one so defenseless and innocent.
Unfortunately, this reminds me of when I was young and I was looking out the window of the car while my mom was driving. We were stopped at an intersection and a small pickup truck with two guys pulled up several car lengths ahead. There was a dog who's leash was tied to the back of the car and the dog was running behind the car. As soon as the truck stopped, the dog laid down, panted hard, and was endlessly salivating... just absolutely exhausted. When the light turned green and the truck turned, I vividly remember the dogs face as it hurried to get up and started sprinting... it was tired and scared... it's face so clearly showed that it didn't know if it could run much more, but it had to or it would die.
I was too young to understand why this was happening or know what to do, but I knew something was wrong. I don't think my mom saw it and I remember trying to explain what I saw, but she didn't understand.
Maybe the dog jumped out of the back and was too stupid or exhausted to try and jump back in, or maybe the 2 guys were really terrible monsters... idk, I'll never know what happend to that dog. But I wish I could go back to that moment as an adult, run up to their car, and try to save that dog.
This why I never watch National Lampoon's movies. They always murder an animal in a horrific way. What you just described happened in one of those movies except that the dog died. And the cop that informed them of it didn't even arrest them. It was played for laughs. FOR FUCKING LAUGHS. The cat exploded in the Christmas one, they murdered a grandma at some point, then I made my policy which included adding Chevy Chase's name to my list which currently includes M. Night Shame-a-llama-ding-bat. Not a name you want to be on a list with.
I also wish I could go back to being a kid and force my dad to stop when the car in-front of us hit a dog. We probably couldn't have saved it but I love animals and I still get flashes of seeing that poor animal go ridged as the truck tried to stop. Not the drivers fault, but it still scarred 10 year old me for life.
I wasn't present but my parents were taking my chihuahua to the vet and kept her in the back, when they arrive turns out she was running behind them because she somehow managed to jump from the back on a red light but she was leashed so she probably took quite the hit and had to literally run for her life, she wasn't injured but she was terrified according to them and I think people who saw them might have thought it was abuse but it was just an accident.
The likelihood is not what you assumed. It was likely some absolute idiots who think that is an adequate way to walk their dog.
Not a big fans of humans either? They're the most annoying, disgusting animal out there.
RoughSleeper _ uh.. that last hashtag.
I'm so happy those guys that killed the cat actually got jail time. Too many animal abusers get off way too easy. Im happy that more and more places are starting to see it as a serious crime.
Becca Faye most animal abusers get paid to do it by calling themselves farmers.
Found the vegan
Becca Faye found the hypocrite!
Wow I eat chicken, better throw me in jail
Chicken's are stupid. Dogs and Cats are cool.
So that Williams kitten killer guy literally isn't getting out of prison until he's 30, completely missing out on his 20's.
Good.
Whoever would treat a kitten like that, is deranged. If your first instinct isn't to protect it or leave it alone, but to torture it to death - you're not right. I'm glad the sonofabitch got reported and locked up. Especially since his sentence was lengthened for "Armed criminal action in the Missouri Department of Corrections," and THEN 5 more years were added for MAKING A SHANK OUT OF A SPORK.... That's like.. textbook serial killer progression, there. Good job on keeping guys like these away, internet people and police.
they literally are mentally ill. the human mind has evolved to feel empathy and if you lack that to such an extent you are literally sick.
C M sick and broken can be exchanged to mean the same thing. I agree that their minds are broken but then again that also means their minds are sick. Serial killers are most likely also sick. It's not popular to diagnose them because then they won't get a full conviction which I don't think is right. Most of humanity has mental issues to one degree or another but when you lack empathy to such a degree that you could do such a thing to another living thing for fun then you have to be sick. A healthy mind doesn't do that. So no matter what you want to call it, broken, sick, insane, they aren't healthy but that doesn't mean they shouldn't get the worst conviction possible. They knew what they were doing and still went through with it.
They should be punished, but it sad to see that guy who killed that child while driving almost 100mph can get 2-5 years vs guy who killed a cat and got 5-7years...
Voxator well not really if you think about it he made a mistake and was speeding, compare that to purposefully tying a living being to a car and dragging it behind until it dies for the only purpose of amusing yourself. I agree the outcome is worse when the baby died BUT the man had no intention of killing the baby. Also if the parents hadn't been so negligent maybe the child wouldn't have died. One was an accident the other was purposeful torture. How is that not something that deserves more punishment?
Wendy Wright a lack of empathy isn't rare, I'm not saying it's common, but it isn't that rare. I could see people being totally mutilated and not worry, but I'd still know it's wrong as that is what society taught me. These people still would've thought about the consequences if that was the case. I'd likely blame it on a mix of other mental illnesses and drugs and that would still make it their fault
My kitten had normal surgery the other day and just the pain he has to be in from it breaks my heart. Anyone touches any of my pets to harm them will not come out of it well. People who hurt animals should spend the rest of their life behind bars.
LizzyMarieTina Abusing animals like this eventually leads to these psychopaths to hurt real people.
Or tortured until they die
Yes, completely. Same with paying for people to hurt, torture, and kill animals. Go vegan, for the animals .
Oh my god, the cat story just... my god that’s terrifying, hearing such an innocent animal be tortured like that makes me want to cry
DarkPollution it's the world what did you expect not everything is flowers and butterfly.
Those kitten killers should be dragged behind a jeep for 5 minutes. it's the least they deserve, i can't fathom how you can do that to an animal.
Not just an animal too, like a small kitten that can not fight back in any way. Even if it was a fully grown cat it'd be better because at least it'd have a small chance of escaping.
Not enough. It should happen until they're dead since that's what they did to the kitten.
They need to have their knee caps and hands shattered with a crowbar.
Need special prisons for people like this. Make dragging them behind a truck a spectacle event. Makes money and teaches others that this is the punishment for crimes like that. It's worked in the past.
Unfortunately this is not the first story I've seen online of someone dragging an animal behind a car. There was a video circulating some time back of a man doing something like that to a dog, in broad daylight, in a busy street. It was outside of the U.S. so idk if he was ever even punished for that. It makes me utterly sick to hear stories of animal abuse.
I like how the only one on this platform that is exempt from Community Guideline Strikes is Logan Paul - meanwhile anyone else (literally anyone else) will be striked
Ninja Kuma - Let's Plays, Reactions, Meme's
You forgot about CNN and the Young Turks they both seem to have youtube privilege
i'm a jew and i got strikes for talking for jews so your theory makes no sense
What's with the random hate towards tyt lol. They are also affected by guidelines and for example had quite a lot of videos demonetized.
Its okay to be white judging by your username, you’re probably one of those 4chan kids that goes around dragging kittens for pizza
Considering what's been revealed by the recent LAWSUIT against Google, is it any wonder what TYPE of people they hired to police TH-cam? I mean, they've been shown to destroy resumes from asian and white men. That's some pretty far-left bias. And lets face it, they DO practically control much of the information on the internet. I wouldn't want people with any kind of extreme ideologies wielding that kind of power.
They should have an "Animal Abuser" program like with sex offenders. The title should also appear right under their name on their driver's license. And how about them also having to pay extra taxes every year that goes to fund animal shelters and care programs?
Serial killers often start with animals, so yes. I would be for that.
So long as the extra taxes don't go to PETA, I can get behind that.
I disagree, while I find animal abusers horrible, such public display and additional taxes are just bs and don't help them get back into society after prison, I also disagree with the sex offender list (at least till the age of consent is adjusted into a period, like: starting from 14 onwards a person is able to consent to sexual acts with persons up to 7 years older than him/herself and from 18 normal age of consent is given)
Butterffinger5678 this ? Great idea
So are farmers serial killers?
That's POS kitty killer looks proud of his crime... Hope he gets his karma served in jail.
You can't hide your charges in prison, people will find out what he did to get in there and he'll fucked. (Quite possibly literally) The fact he was sharping a spork into a shank tells me he's already getting threats.
rexpwnzer, Thank you for pointing that out. My heart is lifted with the thoughts of what the other prisoners will do to these disgusting sacks of water wasting our air. Though, I would personally prefer the punishment to fit the crime, I know that is unrealistic.
Vote for me, dictator of the world.
At the very least, I hope that an inmate punches him in the pelvis.
Some people will get even worse after going in prison. You killed a kitten? Lame! I killed a whole family with a hammer and still had time to rape 2 corpses before the cops arrived.
rawrberrys Yeah...three free meals a day, a bed, and sanitation systems
I was caught off guard by that Alex Jones impression, thanks for the laugh, Phil!
it was pure shit
Thank you for not showing the photo of the dead cat. It kept popping up on my Facebook feed. There’s a way to bring attention to abuse without going just for shock value.
Safety Geek Chick Like actual pictures of what happened to the cat? If so, that's messed up to put it lightly.
Sean Cave yeah, I was mindlessly scrolling one day and 3 of my friends posted the graphic photo of the dead cat. I know to them they were raising awareness about animal abuse, but man the photo haunted me. I donate regularly to a no kill animal shelter and volunteer with a free spat/neuter clinic for cats.
Safety Geek Chick Oh, I thought that the Facebook algorithm was like "hey, here's something that's going on, you wanna see?" And then getting the horrible sight brought to your attention. I get what you mean with your friends, at least their hearts are in the right place even if they may not have gone about in the best way.
Stories like the cat one make me grab and hug my cat close, and tell him how much I love him.
I know what you mean.. my cat died two months ago, I can’t wait to be able to adopt again and give them so much love 💕
Same here, I love my cats! My one cat we actually found abandoned, just dumped to the side of the street, and it makes me sick to think what would've happened if we had never found her. What if she'd gotten into the hands of those sick freaks? My cats are my family and that poor little kitten deserved to have a good life with a family of her own. :(
I could barely deal with Phil talking about the details. Such a pure and innocent creature treated with such hatred and evil. It totally crushes my heart.
I just literally did that
Honestly I wanted to puke. These monsters shouldn't even be in the same state as I am. It's revolting.
I don't understand how anyone can ever harm a poor animal. What do you get out of it harming a creature that can't defend them self 👎👎
You're a vegetarian right?
hannes jacobsson I am not but I agree to an extent. Cats and stuff are not a traditional food source and are usually not farmed. They are pets. Not things to be killed.
hannes jacobsson don't see what him being a vegetarian has anything to do with him speaking out against disturbed individuals that torture and abuse helpless animals. There is a difference between culling a cow quickly and not painfully and dragging a cat for 5 minutes behind a truck until it dies.
Go vegan
its like killing a baby. explain that to me please :) A LIFE IS A LIFE.
I am so hurt by the kitten story. Is there a way that we can petition the judge to give them life in prison, or a longer prison sentence? Any lawyers, help us out please.
Not hurt by the 1 year old dying though i mean its ok people react differently personally that cat thing got me more fucked up than the kid
FeaR Fusion it’s because the kitten was killed and tortured by two inbred hicks and the baby thing was an accident although it is still fucked up, the fact that those two went out of they’re way to do that to an innocent creature is more disgusting to us
No. That's not how the law works. If the majority could decide punishment for the minority, then America would fall apart at the seams. The law is the law, what you could do is petition to change the law to make the minimum sentencing a larger amount.
K I wonder how close to the maximum sentence this already was. And there's no appeal on the prosecution side in the US, because of how they interpret the double jeopardy protection in their constitution.
I give it less than five years before TH-cam has a serious competitor, and boy do we need it.
Yes!!
T R E N D Y F O O L cheers for the info , very interesting
Pirate Bear let’s make dogetube. It worked for btc.
Honestly i think a LOT of people are just waiting, ive been waiting for years. youtube has gotten worse and worse and worse ever since they sold to google. The reason i started using an ad blocker wasnt because of porn sites, or any other site. It was because of youtube. With its INSANE amount of ads. I go on say pornhub right now, ill block 10-15 items. youtube its 30+. hell my "name" came from when youtube FORCED me to change it. went from prompting me every time i logged in to change my name, to out and out refusing not to be changed. Wanted me to put my first and last name in. like are you shitting me? you dont need my private information, and sure as HELL the entire world doesnt need it. So yeah, fuck google and fuck youtube. I cant wait for content creators to really populate a new site so i can support with a REASONABLE amount of ad's. And some actual fucking control of my profile.
People don't seem to grasp that all TH-camrs are essentially cheap employees to TH-cam who retain full editorial control over their media outlet as well as revenue streams without the same due diligence an actual media company would be expected to uphold. That TH-camrs get money at all and aren't charged for being able to use TH-cam is them being gracious. It wouldn't work but it would be in their right.
Don't think any newcomers will be any nicer, the benefit of breaking a monopoly nonwithstanding.
Won't lie, I hate cats. Utterly despise them. But never in my 29 years of life would I have ever thought to torture a poor animal like that. Just hearing about that makes me feel unclean. Tomorrow morning I'm going to go out to my local gocery to get some catfood and feed all the local wild cats in my neighbourhood. Maybe then I won't feel so damn misanthropic.
TheBloodswordsman it's just a cat
TheBloodswordsman cats are sweet munchkins, you should get one.
Bless you sir.
The_other_black_guy that still feels pain just like we do...
Mousey Wowsey as a cat owner, that is not true, sure they are cute, but cats don't have souls, just an empty husk of mass and fur.
I was disgusted when I heard Emma Stone saying 4 men and "the name of the woman director". I thought it was totally distasteful, and dismissed these brilliant directors because of their gender. What a joke.
She wanted her 2-minute of "oooh...what a powerful lady she is" #Emma2020
People in older time weren't wrong when they said that Hollywood wasn't for good people. It's a disgusting place full of hypocrite who keeps silent when they see people around them getting harassed. And when they find the right moment, they leave no chance to let the limelight go away.
Agreed! I'm a feminist, and I wish she would have said something about how it was good for a women to be in this field, like about how we're starting to equalize, both in race and gender. NOT just her name...as is GDT isn't one of the most famous directors of all time
I personally find it ironic to protest sexism by being sexist. Ironic and disgusting. You can not create a positive change in the world by becoming the very thing you seek to remove!
Ssilnah Just found out "virtue signaling " is an awesome word. How come I wasn't aware of it?
She was making a harmless joke, chill.
I hate when people try to “include” people based on race and gender on these award shows, it should be who ever made the best content not just throwing in random people just to reach a quota.
Lololol Lolololol exactly their was a golden age where people took it as that but now women are getting motivated by troglodytes like sarah silvermen and thinks there’s a giant problem with sexism towards women like in the 1920 when men openly beat there wifes
Lololol Lolololol and my favorite quote from Morgan Freeman when asked how it feels to be a successful black actor he said something along the lines of I am just an actor. Stop emphasizing color. It doesn't matter. (I would give the real quote if I could find that interview, but that was ages ago)
....what are you talking about the best people won?
Phillip Scott sorry buddy, but these type of comments make no sense considering what Phil said. Unless someone suggested a quota, in which case my bad I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
MewSakura12 What doesn't make sense about the comment? The comment makes tons of sense based on the story Phil covered. You know that whole part that Phil wants a conversation and thoughts? This is what this comment is. Makes complete sense.
If anything your first comment makes no sense. No one is debating the winners, but that people should not be included just to have filled their "woman" or "POC" quotas in order to look politically correct.
I’m all here for the Alex Jones impression.
C Boyd
the vocal fry was fantastic!!!!
Omg yes hahah
People who hurt animals honestly need to be thrown into a fire pit and left to face the same suffering they put animals animals though.
Raven Sky Moon Sea he should be dragged by a rope behind the 94 mph cop car.
I shot a deer yesterday
Isaiah D there is a difference between shooting a deer and dragging it alive behind a car dumbass
you didn't torture it though i'd hope, are you at least eating it?
Are you sure about that ?
How many ants have you stepped on ?
Yes, she should definitely get a charge, but for it to be the exact same as the cop's?
That part is completely fucked up.
James Burgess agreed.
To be fair, it's likely that the officer will get 5 years and the mother much less, but I do agree that the mother should have a different charge, maybe just criminal negligence if that is possible (not that I know much about US law). It's completely unfair that someone driving twice the speed limit into another car is getting the same charge as someone who made a really, really, really stupid mistake.
The Bandog I never stated that whatsoever. Regardless of either she was the mother or the father, she was in part responsible for the death.
I'm just saying its not on the *same* level as the cop who hit them, which he was directly responsible for the death of the child.
The cop should be charged with vehicular manslaughter, cause that is exactly what he did. The Mother should be charged with negligence for sure.
Get a life
I find it interesting that a lot of people are asking for a trigger warning on animal abuse but this was literally after talking about a neglected child that was killed in a violent car accident with pictures of the wreckage.
I think the difference is that Phil went into graphic detail about how the kitten was tortured and what the torture did to the body. With the kid that was killed, he just said the kid was killed in the accident without going into detail about the extent of the injuries.
What are these people going to do if they ever are confronted with the real world though, just freeze up and die. While horrible the story about the kitten shouldn't effect you in any way, if it does it's time to toughen up, it only gets worse from here.
Aspen Young No, sorry. I live in Flint - surrounded by plenty of "real world" shit, but I still don't want to hear details about a kitten being dragged to death. If that didn't affect you, something's wrong.
Aspen Young If hearing about the graphic murder/torture of a defenceless animal doesn't affect you in any way, you might be lacking in the empathy department. You should probably see a psychologist to get a diagnosis, because you just might be a heartless sociopath.
Yeah, that's a good point actually.
That mom seems pretty damn guilty of negligence.
All those kids and adults, unsecured, the driver not even having a license.
Her negligence and that officer's recklessness are both at fault.
Agreed, and they both should get the max amount of time in prison allowed by the law.
Inb4 someone says “but they couldn’t get a license cuz systematic oppression” bs.
He wasn't even on duty
Commodorefan64 technical fouls?? So your saying that wedging your child between two seats and not having everyone else in the car buckle up, on top of have way too many people in the car, is a technical foul? I think the officer should be charged harsher, but if they were in another type of accident, where they got t-Boned (let’s say at a turn where it is hard to see other cars coming) this could have easily happened. There needs to be accountability on both sides here.
Agree. Also agree with what they were charge with.
If the state does have it shouldn't the off duty cop also be charge with manslaughter or culpable homicide (ie unintentially causing the death through your actions)
I've rescued 2 kittens and raised them by myself. To hear that someone could do something like that makes me sick.
Same... I have 3 rescue cats. I feel sick to my stomach after hearing that story. I’m just crying and hugging one of my cats as tight as she’ll let me. I’ll never understand how there’s such scum in the world who choose to hurt innocent animals and kids...
Well I guess this is the part where I say I saved 4 kittens.... Well I didn't.
I suppose I should say that I saved 5 kittens 😂
(sorry)
People who abuse animals NEED harsher punishment. It’s poor, defenseless animals now (which disgusts me in a way that it just hurts my soul), is it gonna be little kids and humans in general next? Something is not right in the brain of someone who would do such a sick and twisted act. There is such a thing as a sociopath. That one kid looked pretty fucking stoked to be taking a mugshot for torturing an innocent baby animal.
7 years in jail is pretty fuckin rough
Not tough enough, but the people in jail will make him take his lumps
TH-cam is the second largest search engine outside of google. If they do it to him, they can do it to anyone. Censorship is not ok.
The animal abusers disgust me. I hope they get the absolute shit kicked out of them in prison. Every single day. I hope they cry. I hope they have to beg for mercy.
it would apt to tie them to a car and have them chase after it until they get dragged for a bit, not enough to kill them but enough to show them what it was like.
Protodood X no they should definetly die. The exact same way that killed that kitten
That's pretty fucked up
Jenna Leigh's Beauty Slam
>They abused a wild animal
>Those *people* should be harmed in the same way because that’s retribution?
Prince Nixon The Atheist Christian not literally
Didn't Martin Luther King jr. Say you shouldn't judge someone by their skin, but instead by their merit
Samuel Paul White guilt.
TheRealPartridge And who exatly killed him for his skin color?
Huey Newton
James Earl Ray. What are you trying to imply?
Matthew nothing The problem is, is that the same could be said for movies who win awards with an all-white cast for lackluster performances. Is La La Land really worthy of nearly being a winner of an academy award simply for "nostalgia" purposes versus a movie that provides an analysis for the psyche of a dysfunctional family that carries layers of complexity. Black people have watched all-white casted movies that win based on a favoritism so clear you would have live on a mountain with drunk goggles not to see it versus complex, layered films based on historical reconstruction, poetry, and/or the steps that led to human growth. Mexican americans make beautiful films constantly but how many directors do you know? It's not a fake win given for pity unless all the winners who have ever won have won based on pity and guilt
JJAB91 I'm trying to say: There is irony somewhere in that statement, I just know there is.
If a cop breaks the law, they should be punished way more than a civillian. He was travelling almost twice the speed limit, how many times has he personally punished people travielling 5pmh over the limit?
theZbanana cops are above the law.
they should not be charged extra for that specific crime but be charged for committing a crime while employed as a cop causing extra time served.
theZbanana
I want to agree with you but there's an argument to be made giving leniency (depending on the law they broke i guess). But they should definitely be judged the same as everyone.
You can get a ticket for 1mph over if you're in the wrong town collin. It's why it's called a speed LIMIT.
Hard to Kidnap Why would it be ridiculous? I guarantee that the job description says something of “ of good moral character.....”. That doesn’t just apply to on the job, that’s at all times. If I have my CDL drivers license there are harsher punishments to me even when I’m driving my own vehicle off hours.
8:20 best part of the video, your welcome
That impersonation had me on the floor
*Phil's Alex Jones impersonation is so good. lmao*
viktorayy :D No, Joe Rogans is.
Well Joe has known Alex personally for some years now.
viktorayy :D No it isn’t LOL
Who said it was an impersonation...
viktorayy - It was terrible. :\
There's very little that really pisses me off in the world anymore, that cat story was one of them
Nathan Pringle ✊
Stories that involve animal abuse hurt my heart. They’re such innocent creatures
Is killing cows and chickens the same? Just asking not trying to cause shit.
And the baby wasn't? Amazing to see all these comments directed at the kitten instead of the child....then again, maybe not. Not in 2018
Ross Turner I mean I’m vegetarian, so I don’t eat them or wear them. However, eating an animal is different than tying it up to a Jeep and murdering it.
And yet you probably support abortions
have you ever seen a cat play with mice?
That Alex Jones impression was too Good!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
PS Thanks for cropping the photo of the guy with the cat! I didn't want to see that, and thanks James' editing I didn't 👍
the cat story is devastating. omfg. why. why. why. why. and they're not serving nearly enough time. Something that intentional and with that much proof. WTF!
Jera Sky I saw the original post and many of the other members think he did it intentionally so he could get back into prison. Apparently he's been in and out of jail multiple times but I'm not entirely sure how accurate that info is.
Jail sentence too long. 1 year is long enough but 9 years is overdoing it for killing a cat.
Yeah... that dead baby though... less important.
Jean-Frédéric Rolland No one ever said that the death of the child was less important, dumbass. Both are awful.
Baby??? But that cat though
I find it hard to even listen to stories like what those kids did to that kitten but it's important to remember what kind of horrible people exist in the world.
In case you're wondering why you might've had a stronger reaction to the kitten story than you did to the human baby who died, here's why:
Phil only mentioned the baby's death as a whole event. But with the kitten, he went into a lot of detail about the last terrifying few moments of its life, and described the death and the injuries and the appearance of its body pretty extensively. It creates a more visceral specific metal picture. It's not about the species of the two victims, it's about how the story was presented. It's also that the kitten was killed in a very deliberate way by these monsters who took pleasure in their crime.
I just hope the baby died quickly and painlessly
thefortysecond I would abuse animals any day if I was presented with one I don’t like. Humans and animals aren’t compared together. Humans are higher than animals at anything really
Kaizee
I hope someone takes note of your comment and monitors you very closely. You're a very sick individual. How about just avoid that you don't like instead of being a deplorable sick case.
I would be very careful with the next thing you say because now I am and others I know are monitoring you, if you even blink we will know. Good job on raising alert to me :)
Already done, I and a few others will be watching his every move :)
Your Alex Jones impersonation is awesome. 😆
Like always with sadistic animal abuse cases like this, I think the person should have the same treatment done to them that they did.
+boblymon I mean, even if you're sick in the head. Would you kill a cat knowing you would be killed the same way?
Boblymon It sounds likes you’re somehow defending animal cruelty.
+Boblymon False. Look at crime rates in Singapore, lowest in the developed world. Why? Because of the cruel, medieval punishments they dish out for bad crimes. If we lashed people for crimes in addition to the jail sentences, there would be far fewer repeat offenders. Again, study Singapore crime and punishment.
Boblymon I think you're taking this a wee bit too seriously. It's not like I was actually going to go find them and strap them to the back of the car. It does seem a bit suspicious that you're getting all up in arms about it though.
+Boblymon Again, look at Singapore. If you want a law abiding society, get out the cane and make the punishment for crime unthinkable. For example, I went to a Catholic grade school with corporal punishment and it was an excellent learning environment and the "bad" kids were basically still angels. The fear of the paddle kept us in check. Then I went to a majority black public high school where bad behavior was met with positive reinforcement(ie suspension, expulsion). It was a polar opposite situation and it was one of the worst rated schools in the state, which was 49th/50 in education. Negative reinforcement works. And whatever drove these boys to torture the innocent little animal doesn't just go away. Like pedos, they will be that way for life.
The mother should be punished as if it was a terrible unpreventable accident, made fatal by failing to secure the child properly. (imagine instead of speeding, someone blew a tire and lost control).
The officer should be punished as if everyone in the vehicle was properly secured, in a properly functioning vehicle, with a great safety rating. (harshly)
Choosing an Oscar winner based on gender, race or sexual preference is disgusting. Let the best one win and not try to steal away a prize from someone because you wanted to be "inclusive".
I agree. It shouldn't matter what you are if you were clearly the best at something. It is the same with jobs really, the best person for the job should get the job, not the person that just happens to help fill a quota for a specific gender or race or something.
Sadly, the SJWs don't see it that way. They see it as being sexist or racist or whatever when they aren't "included". It's stupid and quite frankly, needs to stop. I wouldn't want to win an Oscar based on my sex/skin color/or sexual preference, I'd want to win it cause I deserved it.
I'm glad you gave a shoutout to Dave Rubin. He is one of the most honest, best TH-cam creators out there. Some of the best hour-plus long interviews out there. You and him are very much alike in how you cover the news and important events: honest and clearly state your bias.
Hearing the story about that poor cat makes me sick to my stomach. Can we get the death penalty for these two? Purposely ending the life of an innocent animal in such a horrific way is unforgivable. I CANNOT believe I have to live on the same planet as people like that....Hey Elon Musk, can I catch a ride to Mars to escape this?
PREACH
Agreed
Love your channel and couldn’t have said it better myself
Thanks!!!!
Seriously. We hear stories so many times of people hurting other people and that's awful but people hurting poor defenseless animals almost make me go into a rage. If I had the opportunity I would make those two suffer in the same way
Rest in peace, Alex Jones, your impact on this site will always be remembered through the ripples in the water that turn the frogs gay
The Scarlet Chorus its legit
And don’t forget those fake supplements. Man, he will be missed
Him and his wipes used on the perennial area
The Scarlet Chorus It wasn't farm water, but rather another case of corporations dumping leftover chems. Blaming farmers for this is a shitty thing to do.
not fake, best quality tested and approved by california standards
I almost threw up hearing about the story of the cat oh my fucking goodness, that’s a fucking animal, it’s feels pain and it has a fucking heart. God that makes me sick to my stomach
its sad how more ppl care about the dead cat than the murdered baby
Bleach182 who said they care more? Way to assume
Yea it killed me to hear that. I've got a really soft spot for cats for some reason. I treat and love all my cats like family because to me they are.
Bleach182 I’m sorry I didn’t comment about the topic you wanted me to comment on.
john lawful That’s just as sickening
That impersonation is everything!!!!! I'm living!!!!
It's so fascinating how so many people in the comment section, including myself, want the guy who killed the cat dead. Our appetite for vengeance is eerie. So many innocent, moral and upstanding citizens would probably get a euphoric rush if watching the guy dragged behind a car and killed in front of them. It just goes to show that human virtue can never solely reside in goodness, but most be accompanied by inherent darkness.
Now that's a fuckin quality comment.
I share the same sentiments.
BanditRants yup
Kinda crazy how people are more upset about a cat dying than a human sometimes
of the multitude of comments you make on literally any video to get clout, this was your most quality one
So I get the same strikes as info wars seriously TH-cam 🤦♀️
Cody'sLab WOO CODY WATCHES PHILLY D
Cody'sLab sidenote, for real youtube is unreal for doing that to you
Lol just posted about you.
It’s cause you forgot to add flux 😤 negligence in smelting is like, worse than making conspiracy theories, didn’t you know?
Just change your channel name to Cody Paul’s lab then you can do whatever you want
Hey Mr. DeFranco, I'm new to your channel and was referred by a friend. I just wanted to commend you on your even-handed, thoughtful approach to the issues you cover. There's no table-pounding, ranting, extremist diatribes, no promotion of fake stories, and you're not a rabid ideologue. You seem to take a mature approach to your essays, and I appreciate you giving us examples of non-toxic commentary.
Lmao Phil, since when could you do impressions? That was hilariously accurate
I'd just like to take a moment's to appreciate that animal abuse is punishable with strict prison time. Yet... doesn't seem to be enough for these monsters. Disgusting.
Jesus, the story of the kitten is just so fucked. How someone can be so cruel to a living creature is beyond me.
Why does everything have to be about gender and skin color holy shit just pick the best for what it is, the best... not based on the creators skin color
It's a swinging pendulum, because PoC and women were not represented/given equal opportunities or rewarded for their work in the past, now people are forcing equality.
Arnold Akbar haven’t heard about any?
Cauldronb0rn agreed! The best should win. You shouldn’t give out sympathy prizes.
I remember hearing about the Aloha controversy before I started paying attention to identity politics. I took the controversy at face-value and didn’t have any opinions either way. Then on a random flight in 2016, I saw Aloha was one of the movies available, so I decided to watch it. Emma Stone plays a half-white, quarter Chinese, quarter ethnic Hawaiian Air Force pilot. So with that info, her being white isn’t ludicrous, the plurality of her ethnicity is European descent. But what really pissed me off was that none of the people who I’d heard criticizing her being cast mentioned that her character’s primary conflict was her inability to truly feel a part of her Hawaiian heritage and community because she didn’t look ethnically Hawaiian. Literally, the movie would *not* have made sense if she looked Hawaiian. I can’t believe people are still talking about this controversy, they can’t have watched the movie because if they did they would know that the directors couldn’t cast someone who looked ethnically Hawaiian.
This identity politics is already way out of hand. She literally pandered to these leftist identitarians, but it wasn’t enough or it was offensive. GTFO.
Cauldronb0rn I think Get Out’s nomination was more specifically about the racial commentary in the film itself, not jus the fact that it was written and directed by a black man.
LoL the Alex Jones impression was on point!😂👌
The story about the kitten was incredibly painful. As cat-persons and animal lovers, it obviously struck me and my wife painfully (so much so, my wife sat next to me sobbing as the story continued). I was troubled, however, with how the story was covered and placed in the show. In the past, you've made a point to not name names or show images of those evil people who commit terrible crimes. However, this story felt a bit exploitative. You featured their faces, their names, a still from their video; you described in detail what happened to the kitten and its state after it had died. No, not all news has to be good news, but, man . . . this crushed us this afternoon, and while the Alex Jones story did kind of bring things back on track and should probably be the biggest take away from the episode, I can't shake the mental image of an animal abused and mocked as it was killed.
(If nothing else, the Today in Awesome could have been placed after that story to TRY to bring us back up a bit . . . )
I totally agree that was so painful to listen to that I turned the video off afterwards and took 10 minutes to turn it back on. I love cats and animals as well I think the placement of the story could have been better. I’m glad to be informed but I think some of the details could have been omitted...
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I felt deeply disturbed listening to the content of the abuse that I also had to pause the video. I could've done without that mental image. Hearing that I wasn't the only one who was so affected helped a bit.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I choked on my food and started bawling, had to pause the video for a while. I wish there had been some sort of warning before getting into the story or less details..
Rest in Peace, kitten.
I agree, I do think it's important that he covers these stories but it makes my heart feel physical pain. Phil, I very much agree with your policy to not show the dirt bags faces and I do hope that you will stick to it. No blame from me, I'd just like to see you take this policy of yours further.
And yeah, lets tie them to a truck. I've got a big truck, some rope, and a cactus and bramble covered field with their names written all over it. I won't even kill them, I'll turn them back to the police once they've got thorns and spines in every cranny. Have fun with those in prison.
This is news and granted when it involves humans phil tends not to name names of the D of th Day. But when it comes to animal cruelty he names and shames those scummy mofos asap. And details are not something phil scimps on in his coverage of a story.
Hey. Here's an idea. How bout people get nominated based on merit, not gender or race.
k thx.
So in your opinion, what movies were snubbed?
That sounds pretty nazi to me bro
/s
Synystr7 nah man thats too smart,
people wont do the smart thing til every other option has been used.
What!? What movies do you think are bad that were nominated?
That’s what they have been doing for 89 years but now we have to be sure each category is inclusive, so we have to make sure there is a woman and someone of color nominated less there be a riot.
lol saw Alex Jones in the title and thought "this ought to be good" lol
Me, too. But the story right before that made me too sad to enjoy it...
lol I saw the spelling mistake and thought "this ought to be good" lol
Edit: Well, I guess I'm not neded.
Too bad it took him 8 mins of filler to get there
Hi Phill,
First of all, I watch your shows every day. I share many of your points of view and, although many of the topics discussed are not form my country, I wish more people could take the subjective approach you have on matters.
I live in El Salvador, a country with its share of social injustices and horrors but also beauty and warm hearted people (just like every other country in the world). This past weekend we had our elections for Alcaldes (Mayors) and Diputados (the equivalent to congressman in the States) which was marked by a controverted process , a great deal of Salvadoreans expressing their discontent with the politics of our current government and president, the fact that Diputados make from 10 to 25 times the minimum wage in a country overwhelmed by poverty and obvious acts of corruption from members of the government. All of this among a resurgence of violence and murder sprees from gangs besides possible future changes in the US migratory regulations (risking the financial stability of countless families who depend on money remittances) has Salvadoreans in our tip toes feeling uncertainty of what the future will hold for us.
My message is sent in hopes that it reaches you and, if you so will, touch the topic of our most recent elections held this past Sunday in one of your shows. Besides me being curious about your point of view I feel this is one of the only ways to bring the reality of my country into the rest of the world. The complaints of its citizens fall into the deaf ears of its corrupt leaders who refuse to take action because of their own personal motives and at this point, without an international entity stepping in, I doubt the situation will change in a near future.
Thanks for your attention and pardon my grammatical mistakes.
Why can't I ever hear Phil say "And today nothing bad happened and a new flavour of marshmallow was invented. Puppies and kittens have been spotted enjoying these together in comfy beds and donating these things to homeless people."
Wait.. people can still be sentenced to hard labor???
Meg Alyssa slavery is still allowed under the constitution if its punishment so yeah thats where this country is at
slavery aint gone yet.
It's just worse community service
Welcome to the south... lol!
in germany (hard) labor is the only type of prison people can be sentenced to, most european countries have labor prisons, and they have a very low returning rate, labor is the better punishment ( and maybe they pick up a trade there, so they can resocialize better)
Who cares what color or gender an Oscar winner is, as long as they deserve that win? Don't give the award out to someone just because of their race, sexuality, or gender, give it to the person who's worked hardest and has the best results. Simple.
Crystal Carol Well who decides which actor/actress deserves it? Isn't it based on opinion?
Yes, but what I'm saying is that the opinion should be based on the candidates' performances and not their race, color, gender, etc.
Phil. I’m sitting in a salon trying not to die laughing in this silence. The voice is just to much 😂
The Emma Stone one I find interesting. I've seen a few things similar to this in recent years. Yes, there should be more women and more diversity in terms of those nominated for awards in the film industry. But this has clearly improved in the last 2 or 3 years. Also, "these four men" happen to be brilliant film makers and absolutely deserve to be nominated. Their achievements shouldn't be minimised and generalised as 'just another male nominee' just by way of them being men. If a woman were to make the same film they should rightly receive similar acclaim. But it would be interesting to find out which female directors Emma Stone thinks should have been nominated instead or in addition to the current nominees. It shouldn't reach a point where women directors are just being thrown onto a list for diversity purposes, a nomination should reflect incredible talent and achievement. To nominate someone for mere diversification issues is, I believe, a strange reverse form of discrimination and would also trivialise the immense honour of being nominated for an academy award. Diversification issues are ones which need to be resolved but shouldn't replace the recognition of talent, hard work and achievement.
This right here is what liberals and conervatives must agree on. The anti-white bashing (and other types of discrimination towards other ethnicities) must stop!
they don't care. equality of opportunity is RACIST AND SEXIST AND HOMOPHOBIC AND COLORIST AND ALT RIGHT HOW DARE YOU GHRANK THE NAZI
Those sociopaths need to be in prison for much longer than 4-7 years. Pieces of shit like that don’t even need to be walking around.
So do meat eaters. Put all meat eaters in jail for 5 years. What's the difference between torturing an animal for fun and killing an animal for taste pleasure?
+John Kuhn - I agree. But I would assume you’re pro-life, right?
John Korn Try not to fall off that high horse there buddy
Found the vegan!!
How the fuck can anybody live with themselves after doing that to an animal?? There's a special place in hell for those people
How about instead of relying on a fairy tale to punish them we do it in real life? Tie them to the back of a sports car and drive full speed through the city.
Not even Satan like those type of ppl.
SmilieTheSneakerHead x physcopaths don't feel empathy.
These people are a threat to society, early signs of a scycopathic serial killer and they need to be locked in a mental hospital
Special prison that can give them special punishments. I.e. deathrace and deadman wonderland. Those things aren't real people. Drag them behind a truck until their legs give out
I am a mother of a child who, as a baby, contracted an infection that there was no way I could protect him from, that affected him in a way that had to be carefully documented because it was so rare. By the grace of God he recovered, only losing an eye, and being dubbed a 'miracle baby' by his physicians.
That is why it infuriates me to my CORE to see mothers doing bat-shit crazy, mother fucking STUPID shit that can endanger their children. I would give my life to protect my kids, and you couldn't say "hey, this car is pretty full, imma catch a cab"????? Really??? The speeding driver is obviously at fault for the collision, and should be punished, but that mother is 100000000% to blame for the extent of her child's injuries.
Andrea Lahey Right because she was the only who was going double the speed limit and caused the collision. The child was in a car seat. The seats were fastened; although not 'adjusted to the child's height'. Maybe she did not know there are to be elongated as the child grows? Maybe she thought they were just going around the corner. Regardless, she made steps to keep her baby safe. You're on a mighty high horse.
Zara Fall So she should get a pass because she is stupid. No no more of this ignorance is not a defense against the law.
I am under the impression the seat wasn't fastened into the car properly, wasn't even in the back seat. That is pure stupidity. If I'm wrong, then my comment does not apply. If I'm right, you're free to disagree, just as I'm free to have this opinion.
She got Tboned at 90 miles an hour, that kid was dead either way.
Putting a child in a car seat does not automatically guarantee their safety. Each car seat comes with an instruction manual so that you can know how to use it and the proper way to secure your child in it. There is no excuse for her. If she had that baby in it the right way as well as in the back seat, the baby might still be alive.
That cat dragging story, that is what is wrong with society. How did those kids think what they were doing was funny? Aint nobody gonna drag my kitty!
Because they are psychopaths. Not always, but people who get their rocks off torturing animals often take the next step. Read some accounts of mass murderers and animal killing/torture is almost always how these sociopaths get started.
Society has always been stupid, this is nothing new.
Because it is funny. Duh.
Violence is funny. Well, entertaining, more specifically. Humans have always been drawn to violence. Boxing is a sport, where people smash each other's faces. Modern version of gladiator fights.
It's in the media, too. Violent video games, violent movies. Sure 'it ain't real', but it looks real, doesn't it? The more real it looks, the better, in fact.
There are other examples, but you get the point, right?
Stop acting so fucking shocked, people. The comment section is full of "Oh, how could this happen? What kind of monster would find that entertaining?" Look in the mirror - there's your answer.
What those teens did was a crime, sure, but it's nothing special. Mind you, if they did it in China, it _wouldn't even be a crime._
1) Regarding the Oscars...I didn't watch...I don't care. AND 2) Regarding TH-cam...Alex Jones SAYS tasteless & insensitive stuff is getting hit w/strikes, but Logan Paul who SHOWS tasteless & insensitive stuff is not???
How can you compare ... Logan paul and alex jones,????? Like Logan Paul does slightly tasteless stuff but incredibly minor ....
Alex jones ... convinces people that .. mass shootings are fake leading to those survivors getting death threats ...
He spread lies about FEMA organizing concentration camps ...
He told parents that Child protective services take the kids mostly daughters then the kids become sex slaves
He convinces people that hurricane Katrina and majority of the wests tornadoes are made by the government ... to test weather weapons ......
He called the Boston bombing ... a government organized attack...
He terrifies people about fluoride ... aka a heathy addition to our water supply
His community is toxic ... Logan Paul is so minor it's not even funny ... tell me how Logan Paul is worse than Sam pepper????
CNN told us Hillary had a 80% chance of winning..
Only over-sensitive people complain about others not being as sensitive as them..
If words offend you..maybe you should look into becoming deaf..you know...to protect your sensitivities that don’t affect the rest of us.
B.o.B aka the real Neil Degrasse Tyson what Logan Paul did in Japan was minor? You must be crazy. What he did was very disrespectful. Not just the suicide forest thing. Going to the Temple, fish market and acting like a jackass was even worst.
B.o.B aka the real Neil Degrasse Tyson
I don't know, I'd say they're on pretty even terrain. While Jones uses his platform to spew out crazy/hurtful ideas that people may or may not listen to, Logan is making videos of himself actively fucking with people and being a genuine twat (even if you put the suicide forest video aside). In my book, they're each just as bad as the other. They have an audience that eats all their shit up.
Logan is the future of TH-cam. His audience is only kids which bring in more money than adults. TH-cam carries Logan because he's basically their main source of income and viewers, future and present.
Yes the mother is at fault but the speeding driver is more at fault then her.
Their crimes don’t equal each other’s
That man was really smiling in his mug shot & the picture of him with the dead cat 🤬😡😠
Jonathan Reyes think she meant the guy who tortured the cat!
Well said. I've never felt like breathing fire so fast.
MMM they're pretty close, Letting your child into a car that is unsafe, with 8 ppl inside is probably as dangerous as speeding for multiple reasons. The driver didn't even have a driving license as I recall.
Concentration, talking , reaction time, seat being not in the correct place all these are serious factors. Perhaps they're not one exact same level , but very very close In my opinion.
I think anybody who willingly throws their child in a vehicle without proper restraint deserves the max penalty. You wouldn't put your child on a rollercoaster without the fall safety fitting, so you shouldn't put your kid in a vehicle without making sure they have the highest chance of survival if something WERE to happen.
Omg, can we get a content warning when you do the Jones impression? I almost died stifling my laughter in the library 🤣
I (as a woman) thought Emma Stone's comment was kind of weird. Yes, directing is a male-dominated category and I hope that changes, but it's also a considerable accomplishment to have two men of color nominated. Congrats to all male and female nominees!
cat dog it’s what happens when people get tunnel vision
cat dog Same. I was pretty confused by it. Personally, I wanted Greta to win, because LadyBird is amazing, but congrats to everyone nominated.
cat dog
Directing being male dominant will never change. Men are less agreeable and more assertive due to testosterone. To be a director you need to assertive and men tend to be more interested in things where they are the leader or things associated with objects. This is why there’s more men in tech and corporate fields. They are just more interested in it and being less agreeable makes you more stubborn thus makes you more likely to be successful (there’s a reason why successful people are usually less in agreeableness). Btw these are on average and mainly due to brain structure.
Yeah, her comment came off as weird and rude quite honestly. I felt bad for the guy who won right after she said that, it took away some of his shine.
i'm sad colour and gender is now half the reason someone should win. as an asian..i hope i get chossen cause i was good and not for a political agenda..i would be pretty bummed lol
4 years is not enough for animal abuse. Not enough.
Not animal abuse. Animal Torture. Fuckers... I hope someone smashes their heads against the prison bars for 30 minutes straight
The frogs can be gay if they want
gagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga
SuillaIsAwesome Your first
SuillaIsAwesome
I can’t believed the straights found out that we were poisoning the water :/ sadly we won’t be getting the frog army
U da foist
The Scarlet Chorus Hope that’s a joke
Four years in jail for animal abuse, that's amazing we're actually getting there.
Merry GoGirl what do you mean getting there. Weve had laws against animal abuse for quite a while now were pretty much "there"
He wouldn't get a year in the UK and he wouldn't get a sentencing in most parts of Asia.
Merry GoGirl Well I mean thats up to the people of other countries.
Hey, guys, random latino Argentinian guy here!
Start nominating people based on how good they perform instead of trying to fill racial and gender quotas! :D
Crazy idea, right?
Pablo Matías Valdés ché, yo acuerdo
Pablo Matías Valdés Yeah the Oscars need to give them to people who can truly act like Cher, Jennifer Lawrence, Cathrine Zeta Jones, Frank Sinatra,Gweneth Paltrow,Angilena Jolie and Nicholas Cage. Yeah they all won Oscars for acting, look it up.
Michael Lewis not sure if you're hinting that shit actors win the oscars or you have bad taste
Agreed
Rowankeenanx3 Are you saying that Cher and Nicholas Cage deserved to win Oscars? If Nicholas Cage was not a Capolla he would not be famous. Hell I would be famous too if over 30 of my family members worked in Hollywood.
PHIL MY THROAT HURTS EVERYTIME YOU DO YOUR ALEX JONES IMPRESSION
That's just the chemicals the government has put in your water to turn your frogs gay reacting to the sound of THE TRUTH my globalist friend
holy frick, I'm listening to that animal abuse story with my little kitten who I saved from abuse just sleeping on me. I'm definitely not almost crying why would you say that
If the death of innocent beings distresses you so much why don’t even mention the murder of a child in the first story?
LMFAO I WAS SCREAMING WITH THE ALEX JONES IMPRESSIONS
8:00 I guarantee you, sentencing these two psychos to spend time in prison just prevented a mass/school shooting. 99% SURE that these type of kids would have committed a mass shooting. GUARANTEED. Glad they're in prison
LiveLife 101 I just hope they are banned from buying guns for the rest of their lives.
You realize there is a firearm black market that will still sell them guns, and they will eventually get out of prison and still be able to shoot up a school? They might even be more inclined to do so once they get out because they'll feel wronged by the system and rejected by society, or incur some other kind of trauma that fucks up their mind even worse.
They don't need a black market, they can just order in from wall mart.
there's definitely no such thing as background checks
Well, if they weren't a danger to their fellow humans when they went in, they sure will be when they come out.
6:50 Never thought I'd see the Cellulites being mentioned on Philly D. Yeah I was around for the original post and plenty of people from the group worked together to get his ass arrested.
Meme Thief I cannot stop sobbing. Please, please, if you ever see anything like that on that site, I beg you to do anything you can.
Tiff KHS I'm going to do things like this
Thank you. I'm so horrified that someone could do that to an innocent baby animal. They need to be held accountable.
Thank you.
Can someone explain what cellulites is? Besides what might be slowly appearing on my thighs?
Phil's Alex impression is too enjoyable
That Alex Jones impression was top notch my boy lololol
In another news two unidentified bodies remains were found near a tiger tied to the back of a truck..
Why was the tiger tied to the back of a truck?
"In other news, two unidentified remains tied to the back of a truck were found near a tiger."
id104335409 Circle of life...
But seriously, what they did to the cat is disgusting and I think they deserve to be punished for it so it gives an example for others who consider this type of thing entertaining.
id104335409 Great. More sickness in the world. The man eating tiger will have gone put down.
Aus Explorer , where else do you tie your tiger?
That cat story was just hard to hear...but seeing the mugshot of him seemingly smiling made me want to hit the monitor.
*What I wouldn't give for 5 minutes in a locked cage with those animal abusers ...*
I take great solace in knowing that those monsters are behind bars. However, I'm *NOT* happy that the monsters who witnessed the abuse and did nothing, and worse, those who witnessed it and encouraged it as if it was a joke, are still around. Charges should be pressed on *ALL* the filth that encourages animal abuse.
Your Alex Jones impression gets me every time. LMAO!
In regards to the cat torture story, can we have an "eye for an eye" moment?
Do monsters, again, monsters, not people, deserve to be breathing the same precious air as the rest of us?
Ya because killing people you despise has gone so well over human history.
They aren't monsters, they're people. People did this.
I'd think some serious time in prison. People who do that kind of stuff have much deeper psychological issues and are just trash excuse for people. Make people fear abusing animals as much as the US does to drug abuse
Azure Vizor I hope they live for years, miserably, and what they’ve done follows them for their entire life until they finally can’t take it anymore and tie a rope around their own neck :)
Honestly I believe they should be jailed for very long and have to spend the rest of their lives contributing to animal welfare in some way.
Old media contacting TH-cam's advertisers "for comment." Suuuuure.
"can you comment on why you personally think parkland was fake?"
I had no idea people really still watch the Oscars. Weird.
ACME Mowing and Lawn Care read my mind
i have no idea (i actually do) that people still do (x). This gives me a sense of superiority.
I’ve never watched a single event 😳
ACME Mowing and Lawn Care I just watched highlights like monologue and gags and stuff
Your comment made me curious. Here are the ratings of the past 18 oscars deadline.com/2018/03/oscar-ratings-down-all-time-low-viewership-1202310775/
Phil's Alex Jones impressions always make me crack up :DD
Thank you and your team for doing what you do. Love ya faces!
I will watch anything starring Lin Manuel Miranda. If he was in a musical porno I’d watch if. That man is magic.
Meg Alyssa I really dislike the original Mary Poppins but I'm deadass ready to sell my soul for anything Lin is in
Lmao same. He spoke at my school recently and he’s such honestly such a great person
Meg Alyssa Same. I am highly opposed to doing a remake of Mary Poppins, one of my favorite movies, due to the fear of it sucking hard, but Lin is in it! I'd sell my soul to see it.
Dynobryno really?! Awesome!
Sitting on Ceilings He's a fantastic writer/rapper/actor/singer/musician. I'd highly suggest checking out some of his musicals!!
Thanks for the Child Passenger Safety shout-out, Phil. Not all fire stations are also seat fitting stations, but they should be able to direct anyone who inquires to local resources.
I start every day with watching your latest video while I eat breakfast. Thank you for philling me in.
