Can we show some love for James Shaw Jr due to his fast action selfless bravery? We need more people like this in our world! Thank you James!
Lol
The way I see it Travis was clearly insane and the biggest criminal here was his father. This is a terrible tragedy...all the way around. Also what a true and very brave hero this story has.
1:23 Mrs. Doubtfire horror film?
Sometimes waffles can taste really good but make us do bad things
Oh he was obviously insane. I believe he does deserve to be in prison though because he knew of his diagnosis and the dangers that came with it and chose to stop his medication- tho his father is the true cause of this tragedy
That last line, about being trapped in his own mind anyway, was pretty deep. Another great vid from Dr Grande.
Are we all not 'trapped' inside our own mind.?
Some much more than others and it’s torture.
@@mustertherohirrim7315 “Trap” has negative connotations. We are also free in our own minds; unless we are SMI.
@@scarlettphoenix7024 how about encased.
Trapped is the best word here, he can’t get out of his delusions and hopefully the prison will be treating him. Imagine him waking up from a nightmare to being stabilized and his actions of killing.
Travis’s parents had every opportunity to help him, yet they plowed through all the red lights instead and people got hurt. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on schizophrenia, Dr. G.
In HS, I watched someone go through the onset. He developed anorexia nervosa and then was dx with schizophrenia. His illness completely changed him. Very sad.
So glad that the one guy stood up to him and got the rifle out of his hands. Even if it was a reaction under duress.
Why is the state always so resistant to someone being deemed insane? Even when it's obvious, like in times like this, when that was the case? I don't get the government's position on this, because it's like they refuse to acknowledge that the defendant was insane and see it as "letting someone off easy", when the person needed medical help.
Yes, it seems simple minded and cruel to me. If they would just acknowledge that some people are indeed that mentally ill I would have a rosier view of prosecutors in general.
I will say that in lesser crimes sometimes they will acknowledge and apply this but it should apply here as well.
There are 3 sides to a story, the victim, the perpetrators/suspect and truth. Prosecutors and Defense attorneys don't care so much about the "truth," they just want their client to win. It's up to the juries to examine the evidence available and make a decision based on the facts. In this case, I think they were definitely swayed by all the emotional testimony of the victims and witnesses. It certainly was a heartbreaking trial to watch. However, that should've still been overlooked to see just how obviously mentally ill this man was and that he was not in his right mind. I don't know how anyone couldn't see that. Mental illness is still such a stigma though, and they probably just saw him as a murderer regardless. He should've gotten help years ago, and he deserves help now despite his actions. Now as Dr. Grande said, he'll just be trapped in a prison of his mind, while trapped in a physical prison cell as well. Doesn't seem very humane but the US justice system doesn't usually care about that. Sad story all around.
BTW I recommend the channel "Dave's Lemonade" that covers the backstory and parts of the trial in this case, it's a well done video that shows the whole story in a nice neat storyline.
@@YTStoleMyUsername Couldn't agree more.
That's exactly what it is. They look at it as someone "getting off" if they aren't put into a horrible prison in bad conditions.
People even think that PRISON is too nice (interestingly most of these people have never set foot in a jail, prison or mental health facility)
James is a true hero and deserves lifelong recognition and accolades for his courageous actions that day.
100%
James Shaw is a hero. The forgotten man in this tragedy.
Nah the tragedy is the dead people not some lack of fame or fortune
@@cremdilly7176 i assume he meant "in this tragedy" not "is"
@@cremdilly7176 context clues homie
He will never be forgotten with me! James Shaw should be what all men strive for!
I just imagined the cops shouting his gotta gun we he grabbed the rifel and blasting him. You know coz he blck
Dr. Grande makes an excellent point that the "not guilty by reason of insanity" defense is useless if not applicable to a case of clear psychosis.
There were so many opportunities to look more closely at this young mans behaviour. I’m sad for him and everyone else at the receiving end of this tragic situation.
I used to live in Antioch Tennessee. There were so many chances to see the signs and try to help him. Great job Dr.Grande.
Very tragic story! I'm glad you mentioned James Shaw, a true hero who saved maybe many other lives from being taken if that second round would have been loaded.
Incredible analysis, Dr. Grande!! ♡♡
A true tragedy.
Thanks for covering such tough topics like this.
I live in the Greater Nashville Area and lived in Antioch for a while. I went to that Waffle House several times and it is harrowing thinking that someone so outside of reality could get access to firearms and go on a spree. We need better enforcement of gun laws and better treatment and cultural approach to mental health.
You deserve more than a handful of likes. Yes someone who is obviously mentally off should have a harder time getting fire arms. You mentioned the mental illness as well which is always pushed aside while the focus goes straight to gun laws. Bravo on mentioning both.
Many Americans need a primer or update on "not guilty-reason: insanity" and be ready to apply this when another Travis Reinking shows up in front of their jury. Not only is Travis imprisoned in his mind, but his body would be imprisoned in a secure mental health facility.
That would require the population to actually learn about mental health issues, and for cops and prosecutors to actually do their jobs with competence.
They probably have Travis in isolation which is really sad.
'Imprisoned in his mind' is a handy rhetorical device to employ in a UA-cam video, but in the push-and-pull of reality he was found guilty by a jury of his peers. He had the faculties to discern right from wrong, to organise (before and after committing the act), and to take evasive actions after the fact. Yes, to a large extent he was let down by his immediate family and by society at large, but is no different to any mass-murdering shooter who wants to amass a legacy of some kind. Not everybody who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia or other such delusional afflictions opts to carry out such heinous acts. Yes I have sympathy for him and believe he should receive appropriate care and attention (and should have received it beforehand) but the jury had no option but to find him guilty.
that decision wasnt up to the jury. i get what you are saying, but the jury only had 2 options. guilty or not guilty.....and at the end of the day the dude killed 4 people.
so if they had said: not guilty!!......dude would have walked.
@@petertreid As I commented, I am a lawyer (UK) and you have explained this issue very succinctly and accurately. Alas, it is a hard area of law and psychiatry, which have worked together to design the current laws, which are identical in the UK. I believe the origin is the Woolmington case from the 1920s. Some cases are heartbreaking such as the Wuornos case where it was known that she suffered from PTSD. But PTSD is not psychosis. It takes a psychosis or psychotic break from reality, as you seem amply aware, to make the insanity defense. If you have ever seen a person in such a state, the difference is abundantly obvious.
@@notyourdamnbusiness8795 You're right. I think the jury was doing their best with what they had in front of them. The people to blame are the prosecutors. They could've pled him out or something. I don't think the jury was at fault here, they had limited choices to make, and they made the one that they deemed best.
This is where denial by family members leads....tragic all around. In the last neighborhood I lived in, just outside of city limits there was a man with similar traits who also smoked meth or crack and was involved with selling guns and Lord knows what else. He would shoot guns off outside in the evening after getting high and yell at both real and imaginary people. He would frequently call the police to report non existent children, according to them, that were running through his yard. He had a laser sight pointed into my house one evening. I was told by the police that his family would need to commit him. They haven't maybe because he has small children and they appeared to be afraid of him. Very risky situation-I'm grateful I was able to move out but this is just one person in one neighborhood; I'm sure this is far more common than people want to believe unfortunately
Cherie, very glad you could move. I agree with you, I think this is more common than people want to believe. Our mental health system has more holes tha a Swiss cheese.
A disaster waiting to happen
Wouldn't shooting him count as a self-defence?
@@LukeSumIpsePatremTe proving you shot someone in self defence in court can be very tricky, but I know for sure shooting someone because they have a red lasersight pointed into your house would be murder/assault. There has to be a very clear and present danger and reasonably think your life was going to be taken; if you can't prove that beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, or if you shoot them while they're running away or shoot them more times than what the jury thinks is necessary to take the assailant down, then it's murder/assault, not self defence. There's a whole lot of technicalities involved in the laws surrounding this issue, and some things that the layman would consider self defence are classified as murder, assault, attempted assault, etc.
The families are in denial often because the mental health treatment in the USA is in such a poor state. Many families do not even understand the mental health basics, often it could and should be, schools etc institutions to alarm families and healthcare institutions about potential need for mental health interventions. Many countries have that back up system being able to weed out and intervene these advanced mental health issues preventing the final events in this case.
"...revealing certain anatomical features". He says it so casually it just cracks me up, LOVE IT!
Navigating YT's paranoid algorithm.
There’s many times where people call 911 to get help for their loved ones and instead of getting help these “professionals” believe they “aren’t respecting their authority” and put them in jail.
I ordered a Dr Pepper the other day at Taco Bell. They asked me if I wanted a medium Dr., I said no, Grande.
Clunky but funny!
Spoken like a true groupy! lol
Brah you silly
🤣
Good one!!!! 👍
One of the few times I feel bad for the perpetrator. He's not going to get proper help in US prison. My thoughts are with everyone impacted.
I agree. It makes no sense at all to put him into the prison system where he'll be targeted for abuse. He should be confined to a mental institution. What he did was terribly wrong but he is a victim of his mental illness. His delusions were very real to him and he lived in fear. I'm disappointed with his father for giving him a firearm and not trying to get his son the mental health care that could have saved many lives and much suffering. This is a sad case.
Dude will get ass fucked and gutted? What more justice could you need?
@@De_behr How can you watch a video of Dr. Grande and still walk away this uneducated?
This conviction made absolutely no sense. This case is proof that the American „justice“ system does not work and that prosecutors need to be educated on behavioural health matters.
@@De_behr That's not justice.
I live right down the road from this Waffle House and actually ate there the night right before this. I remember how sweet the cook was. There is a memorial there that faces the street now and a smaller one inside the restaurant.
James Shaw is truly a hero.
Shaw's heroics to disarm Travis while unarmed himself saved lives that day. A true hero, indeed!
Waffle House is for lunatics. Gross food, gross employees.
Seems his Father could be sued by the Victims for proving the firearms.He must have been a bit nuts himself after all the warning signs. The Father should also be in Prison as a co conspirator when he agreed not to return the damn weapons.
I agree. I am very pro second amendment, but giving a known lunatic his guns back AFTER THE COURT told him not to is indefensible. I think his dad should be in jail for the rest of his natural life as well.
I grew up near this Waffle House. I’ve spent time in the neighborhood next to the Waffle House.
There is a lot of untreated addiction and mental illness in Tennessee. For a while, Nashville got people who couldn’t afford to live elsewhere, often people down on their luck.
A lot of famous towns/cities are too expensive for average people to live in. What made Nashville more affordable than other places around it? I'm looking at apartments in and around Seattle, and everything is atrociously expensive (like, $3k a month for a studio apartment if you're gonna avoid places that get drive-by shootings every month).
It's like that all around. Addiction and mental health issues never have enough funding and there's a huge stigma attached to both.
Add cops who can't be bothered to do their jobs or think and this is what you get.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 When I lived in Seattle, I walked through the SPU campus as the mass shooting there was taking place. The shooter was apprehended in a similar manner as described in this video, but it could have been much worse. Moral of the story - theres no escaping the possibility that a bullet interrupts your day/life in America.
yea I know a couple folks fitting that description who went there. bummer
Nashville isn't alone in this situation. It's nationwide.
Travis father should have been charged with more than what he got. That was a weak charge.
All the red flags leading up to the shooting and his parents not only seemed to kind of shrug it off, but then gave him back weapons for some reason. Crazy.
Agree - compare this w the Crumbley parents' charges.
I feel sorry for anyone who has an idiot for a parent, what is it with americans and their guns, such an unnecessary and tragic story
The father can certainly be sued civilly. The families of the Waffle House victims should file a class action lawsuit against him. He has assets. He has a business. It won't relieve their pain and loss yet it would set a precedence when it comes to firearms liability.
@@BurroGirl .. That's what I was thinking.
I’m very interested about the commonality of delusions experienced by people with schizophrenia. I often hear that they involve government/police/“big brother” surveilling the person or that the person is god or hearing from god. It’s interesting that everyone has such different life experiences yet this condition produces really similar hallucinations. It’s very sad though, my heart goes out to anyone dealing with this illness.
in my experience delusions in Schizophrenia are mostly related to a person or agency that the patient sees as an authority or higher power. Be that God, Mohamed, the government, NWO type delusions or even parents or grandparents. Once the patient goes into the hospital, the delusion often then centres around staff. It's a bit of a controversy about analysing delusions. Most professionals believe that they are meaningless, but some feel there is value and insight that can be gained.
I always wonder the same thing
paranoid schizophrenia was a common phrase when I was a kid. I'm not in healthcare so I don't know if that is a subset or just slang
@@Mouse_007 it's now called schizophrenia with paranoia. Basically, schizophrenia is the diagnosis and delusions and hallucinations are some of the symptoms. Some of those delusions can be paranoid or they can be grandiose or just not true. Each person will have different symptoms. Proper and consistent medication can often cut down on the numbers of delusions and hallucinations.
@@shethingsd thank you
Thank you Dr Grande, that was a brilliant teachable analysis. I agree with diagnosis of guilty by reason of insanity. Also his father was irresponsible, giving back his guns. I bet the lifeguards were impressed. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis and topic.
Why is it always too late?! Everyone who had contact with this man knew he was ill!
Exactly. He's obviously sick, but he is guilty while everyone who knew how sick and in need of help he was is not?
I'm assuming his father either turned a blind eye, or just wasn't willing to accept it. Or both.
Senseless and preventable.
it's so hard for people to care or listen or believe you when you come forward with signs of schizophrenia and i can't tell you why. All i know is i had all the signs and professionals said i looked fine until im not and now i have schizo affective disorder b/c of hallucinations ):
@@missycitty9478 There is nothing the father could do since he son was over 18th. We've made it nearly impossible to involuntarily commit anyone in this country for more than a few days and this is the result. There are thousands of parents desperately trying to get help for their adult children and can't legally do anything. Instead they must watch them become homeless and hurt themselves or others.
@@M123Xoxo Bullshit. There was Plenty the father could have done. First thing, not allow his mentally ill son access to ANY type of gun.
And it's easier than you think to have someone commited especially when they have a long history of mental illness, and a lengthy record with authorities because of it.
People are just plain lazy and don't fight hard enough! u
You're making too many excuses.
Thanks Dr. Grande for your analysis and breakdown of guilty vs. non-guilty in the insanity plea of Travis. Disturbing because the deaths could have been prevented if others took Travis' actions more seriously. An awful lot of red flags along the way. Thank God for the bravery of James bringing an end to Travis' shootings.
Yes, soo many red flags! And then having access to firearms, knowing he had issues...?
Just senseless and perhaps preventable.
@@missycitty9478 ikr? I'm so glad his idiot of a pappy got the book thrown at him for giving him guns. How did he not even think of calling somebody to get Travis into in-patient psych care? There's ignorance, and there's denial. Ya boi was straight up in denial. Sadly, that denial got people killed.
@@missycitty9478 His father gifted him the firearms contrary to a judge's orders not to do so.
@@petertreid He had access PRIOR to that incident.
If you listen to Dr. Grande, he describes Travis having access to guns on multiple occasions, prior to the situation with his father giving him the guns , even after the police instructed him not to.
So, a known, mentally ill person had access to guns, at all times, and WHY, was my point.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 Yes. Absolutely and completely irresponsible on Dads end. Beyond words.
Insanity is so sad to me. I hope we one day figure out what is really going on so that we can fix it. Thanks for the content!
As a native of Atlanta "the waffle House shooter" is not nearly a specific enough name
Welcome to America. It’s a damn shame.
I have never been to a waffle house. 🤔
That's just sad...
I think Waffle House is a pretty common scene of altercations all around America for some reason
😲
Although rare we see examples of society failing some very mentally ill people that eventually leads to others getting injured and even killed later on. He was obviously very impaired and getting worse, he was arrested several times and yet allowed to go back on his way and his firearms even given back to his family. There were plenty of opportunities to have him evaluated and admitted to a psychiatric facility. Giving the weapons back to his father is just unconscious-able to me, once used in a crime, the authorities should never give weapons back to the offender or the offenders family. Yes he was very Ill but the authorities have some responsibility here as well
You kill me with the comic commentary and always are right on thx u for your efforts
My heart breaks for everyone involved in this Tragic Case! Travis was so Severely Mentally I'll, and Desperately needed Help! Prayers for All.💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dear Dr G another superb analysis. How did Travis got hold of guns? Hope his dad gets time, he enabled this entire catastrophe, by giving Travis access to guns. Truly shocking.
Thank you Dr Grande for putting videos like this out there as it helps the public understand more on schizophrenia and have compassion/understanding for the mentally ill who commits murder. I don’t condone Travis’s action but it helped me understand the plea of not guilty by insanity more.
Excellent analysis Dr. Grande! Sad to say about Travis " he is already trapped in a prison in his own mind "
I’m flamixed as to why the parents did not get him help that much sooner. Also I don’t understand how he could’ve had access to firearms in the first place. Just wondering why they were not put in a gun safe?. If the parents saw that he was that bad off, there’s not only something wrong with him. But, with them also. The denial could not have been greater
Could it be the dad knew of no other way to get rid of him from the family then to set him up for a final fall that would make him the burden of the state. Maybe the dad didn’t have the will to off him himself, so he set him up for the state to permanently take possession of him. It’s common unfortunately
I don't know if I've missed this but would you consider doing one for Kanye West and his apparent stalker Behavior??
Kanye seems to be obsessed with Pete Davidson.
Kanye seems to be a very disturbed individual. The kardasian clan only elevated it.
@@ReasonablySpeaking9808 no kanye has mental illness kim did not make it worse, stop spreading that bullshit. I hate when people don't look at mental illness for what it is. Kanye has no one else to blame but himself. he is a grown ass man.
@@mariya_tortilla I said what I said! Don’t come for me with that foul mouth of yours. Did I cuss you? NO. Do I have a right to my opinion? YES. Whatever logic you attempted to parlay towards me was lost in your nasty ass response. Don’t tell me what to do. You have no authority over me!
I watched the trial. Saying that people were "wounded" does not fully respect the level of wounds people endured, such as having large portions of your arm or leg removed by a bullet or still using a cane years after the event. The wounds and scars are horrific. I have a schizophrenic sibling and have worked with schizophrenics. It can be difficult dealing with them at times. It's easy for people to blame the father, but once the person is an adult, there's not much you can do. The system protects them. They can make their own decisions, including not taking meds or getting therapy. I feel for the father and the victims.
you feel for the father who armed his own son after being told not to? travis is the one who lost through no fault of his own and now he gets to live a sad, miserable life in jail for it.
@@fartlord5000 I still feel bad for the father. He was in denial which is like a mental illness in itself. He probably believed in his heart his son wasn't dangerous. I'd call him dumb but denial is a bit different. Was probably a little dumb.
'The system' specifically ordered the father to keep the guns away from him.
The father is an idiot. I hope he feels regret for the rest of his dumb life.
Sweet. Was just thumbing through UA-cam and you popped up! Bless your heart ❤️ you are THE most consistent content creator. And still the most consistent thing in my life 😂😂 🌵🌵
What was his Dad thinking when he gave him his guns back?
It was the cartoons he drew on the food cartons that sealed his fate. There was some uncertainty about his intentions & state of mind when committing the act, but the content of his drawings left the jury in no doubt about the kind of impulses that drove him to carrying out the indiscriminate and deliberate attack.
Hello Dr. Grande, this was very interesting to listen to. I have to agree with your final thoughts that he was probably not guilty due to insanity. My only thoughts on this kind of case is that it seems that even today in 2022 people with these complex delusions are not noticed until it is often too late. Kind of sad. But then again it's also very sad for the families that lost loved ones.. Best Regards and thank you for sharing the videos. 👍❤
I watched every bit of this trial I'm still shocked he wasn't found insane. But the biggest letdown was his father giving him his guns . I'll never understand that.
Dr Grande , I watched this trial, and I agree with you completely. Thanks and keep up the great work .
God damn it! Was just about to go to sleep when this popped up. Now I gotta watch it 😂 interesting topic by the way, keep up the great content Dr Grande 👍
Yay perfect timing I get to listen to this while I go to sleep because his voice is Soo soothing and then I get to actually watch it once I wake up . Love this channel
Clothing optional attitude....lol
This is what I love about this channel
Your videos are always very interesting. Always look forward to watching them.
Wow!! What a hero, James Shaw Jr.!! How can someone with such a diagnosis as Travis have access to weapons in any way whatsoever 😲?
I just discovered your channel I absolutely love it! Thank you for the amazing content!! 👏
How could I have missed this case? TFS, I appreciate your work Dr. Todd.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Another good video Dr. Grande. I enjoy your channel!
At 12:06, is a powerful statement. Thank you, Dr. Grande for this analysis & may you have a great evening. 🌵
I agree but it's hard for a jury to come to that conclusion in such a horrific case. Why don't we call it guilty by reason of insanity instead of not guilty by reason of insanity? Handle it exactly the same but just change the wording.
If the jury can't figure out what this conviction means based on instruction (either because of the wording, their emotions, or both), it kind of speaks to how useless this charge is within the US criminal justice system anyway. I agree with Dr. Grande: if anyone should have been able to use this defense successfully, it should have been this man. But the justice system in the U.S. is geared very heavily towards the punitive: you do X, we lock you up and throw away the key.
I believe the British say, Guilty But Insane. That makes much more sense to me
In the prison he will probably be forced to take his meds. A Supreme Court ruling permits it, except in California of course.
But really, how do you find Travis not insane? Just the part about wearing a jacket over his birthday suit is enough for me.
Great vid Dr Gandhy...
Dr. Grande, I admire your respect in these kind of sad cases. You didn't sign off with a joke. Thanks for your interesting videos.
Wow am early 🐦today...time to listen! Thanks Dr G😊💙💙
Good morning, Dr. G. I watched the entire trial while laid up with COVID. Your thoughts on this were so helpful to me in understanding qualifying factors, and seemingly non-qualifying factors, like organized methods and premeditative preparedness, as they might relate to a NGBRI defense. You have a wonderful talent. Yes! Truly. With all the delusions and psychotic notions obscuring his cognitive functioning, if this case doesn’t qualify for a finding of NGBRI, that concept is a useless legal construct for a finding of not guilty. Travis suffered greatly, anguishing in his truck prior to commencing the slaughter, aware that it would be wrongdoing, but pleading with God to send him confirmation. Where is the voice of God when you need him? All that prep and he ultimately had to rely on a letter on a nearby hat.
Fortunately for society-either way, he will never be let out. I hope he gets treatment. As you point out, the prison of a distorted mind is the worst.
My heart aches for the beautiful lives he destroyed by trauma and death.
Have a beautiful Delaware day. ❤️
Very helpful explanation of the case and analysis of his criminal profile and mental health status.
Thank you for the video.
Your voice was at its best!
So relaxing 👍
"I guess that was his way of proving his point" lolz
Never stop dr. Grande, I'm here forever!
This one gave me chills! Bravo analysis Dr Grande!
An amazing analysis, Dr. Grande. 👍
That’s a sad awful case..Things we’re left to grow worse and people suffered..Thank you for a good video Doctor Grande on this case..A shame he didn’t reach out or was reached before it got to where it did..
Good morning and happy Thursday from PA, Doc!
Perfect upload timing for my lunch break media consumption. And Chick Fil A. So thanks!
Wow. Great analysis Dr. Grande. I agree with your conclusion 100%. What a sad and tragic story.
This was a great video, doc! I've turned a few my co workers onto you!
Loved this video! Had not heard of this case prior to watching. It made me think of the lady who (I can't remember her name or the exact details so I may be slightly off here) was a dental hygienist, and had recently given birth and was according to her family suffering from postpartum depression/ psychosis....... and eventually put the baby in her car and drove to the White House as she had hallucinations about the president bugging her house/ or was out to get her..... she was ultimately shot and killed by police at the White House when she drove thru a barrier and kept going trying to find alternate routes to get inside the White House. Would love to hear your analysis on that case! Very sad and tragic case involving postpartum depression!
His parents seemed wracked. Why call the police for his delusions and not an ambulance? His father giving him back his guns given his symptoms?
Hearing the last thing you said. About him already being trapped within his mind. Just broke my heart ;( I myself and MANY family members all struggle with mental illness. So I understand and empathize GREATLY with that feeling. I just love your vids. I have learned so much! Free therapy!!!! Ya ya!!!
There are just some people who make what they do for a living look real easy despite the fact that their job is anything but easy. You TG are one of those people. So glad to have found your channel. M
Finally. i am from Tennessee and this needs more coverage.
I was waiting for this video.
My cousin had schizophrenia too. Her Dad had it too. I lived with her as a care taker and that was difficult and sad. She swore up and down people lived in our walls and people were after her. I’d hate to live like that.
My brother, he killed himself sometime back, had it. He said he could hear aliens under the earth building spaceships.
Very well summarised. Thank you
We’ve lived near this particular Waffle House nearly 30 years, and eat there frequently (at least before covid, for a while. We still try to go when we can, but they deliver now). When you walk into the entry, there’s a small memorial set up honoring the victims. It’s very sobering.
Good Morning Dr Grande😄
Have a good weekend Dr.
I have multiple mental illnesses and suffer from auditory hallucinations. Thankfully my hallucinations are pretty boring. I’ll take my hearing door knocks, someone calling my name, bird sounds, and occasional muffled group conversations that sound like they’re coming from another room and consider myself lucky that they aren’t anything dangerous to anyone else.
Always interesting.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
Outstanding information Dr. Grande. Was very sad and tragic.
"certain anatomical features"... Dr.Grande has such elegant humor...
Thank you ❤️ Dr. Grande.... you're special.
Taylor Swift would never leave me for him. I wire a lot of money to her. We’re in love
You sound like a maniac
She's just using you for your Netflix account
I love this channel omg
*Fun Fact:* I stayed at the Parthenon Pavilion Mental Hospital in Nashville with a woman who had PTSD from being at the Waffle House during this shooting
How sad,wow. Thank you for the video 🌴🌵🌱🌿🌵🌱
Thank you for this analysis.
very nicely done
Thank you Dr. Grande for making this video analysis. I stopped going to Waffle House in the 1980s. Clearly, it's a dangerous place. In this case, I feel Travis' father is to blame. Instead of getting his son the mental health treatment he needed, he gave him several dangerous firearms. This is why gun control will continue to be an issue in America. Too many kids and mentally ill people are being given guns; instead of love, compassion, care, and attention from their parents.
Thanks, Doc.
Thank you Doctor Grande!
Opened the pink house coat to reveal certain anatomical features.
Very polite way of saying he engaged in flashing activity.
Good to know. Thank you, Grande.
I'm so glad I subscribed to you. I already could watch you add free with youtube premium, but you're the greatest and I felt guilty. What is my underlying diagnosis 😆 🤣 😂
Thumbnail did its job -- nice one
Dr. Grande, I have been enjoying watching your breakdowns and thoughts on some of these situations. Would you ever consider doing a breakdown of Edward Bernays ? In my youth I felt he was an evil man, now I find myself questioning my opinion of his influence on human behavior. Thank you for sharing your expertise on mental health and human behavior.
