My life has drastically improved since Dr. Grande taught me how to speculate on what could be happening in situations 😊
😂
But obviously never diagnosing anyone
😒 Many a time that side eye has saved us!
Speculation is the spice of life.
"I'm not diagnosing anybody and only speculating on what could be going on in a situation like this" is basically the therapist version of "I have a question but I'm asking for a friend" lol
This is why you always have to take an interest in your children’s lives. Even if they’re adults.
Shocking “ghost” parents! Did they forget about him? He was obviously chemically off balance.
Anyone could see he was needing serious mental help.
but not in such massive amounts that it becomes excessive, because then you will run the risk that doctor Grande has to do a video on you one day.
@Sister Supersonic
So glad you’re not speaking on every parent..🙌🏾
@Sister Supersonic they do give disability to the mentally ill . They could have helped him.
Don't forget parents are not always able to. Some parents also suffer mental health issues, they may work long hours, they are old , exhausted. Parents cannot be everywhere constantly watching for signs. Having kids doesn't mean you have to be forever on guard duty once they are grown.
I imagine being in a 1 on 1 therapy session with Dr. Grande when he seamlessly says "Before we get to the analysis, let's hear a word from today's sponsor..."
..while he casually switches his glasses ;)
Come on the man gotto eat.
Everyone has sponsors- Dr Mike too.Wait until you watch him punt oranges...
Hahaha lol 😜
I sure wish he was my therapist.
I’m so glad that the first girl was able to get away and that he didn’t kill her. I know she’s probably going through a lot of trauma now but glad to know she got away ❤️
I cant imagine the amount of survivors guilt she has
@@abigailblaise9064 really?
@@abigailblaise9064 wow, so Brian saved her life ? 🥺
Survivor's guilt is very serious and difficult to learn to live with. I wish her the best in her recovery. 🖤
@@abigailblaise9064 I worked for Redners and Giant, obv living in PA I've been to many of the Weis' too. Hard to imagine anything like that happening in those places
13 days sober, I've never been sober for that long and I will never go back to drugs. Thank you for having so much content I can binge while feeling like crap.
Good Luck and stay strong! 😉👍
. You got this. I'm nearly 3 months sober and life is so much better. ❤
By now it's 14 days! Just keep it going, you've got a great start. I've got some knowledge in this area. Keep busy and remember *why* you're trying so hard. Good luck! ❤❤❤
4 months, 3 days without alcohol. You can do it!!!
I believe in you. you got this.
I was depressed in my early 20’s as well. I think it is common in people who find themselves running in a hamster wheel, financially struggling as they transition from childhood into adulthood.
So how did you get through in the end?
But most of us don't end up killing a room full of people.
@@colinluckens9591 Obviously can't speak for the OP but for me and friends some of it comes with growing, depression in late teens/early twenties happens but many times it resolves itself as you learn more about life and yourself and how you fit into the world and secondly just changing my thinking, sometimes focusing on certain things will make you depressed, you have to resolve to be happy, that doesn't mean my thinking made everything suddenly wonderful but what it did do was helped me to not be so fatalistic about everything or see everything as personal. I later learnt that my depression actually stemmed from an undiagnosed physical illness so I still go through bouts but they're not as severe as they were because of the things I learnt to do when I was younger, they still help now.
@@colinluckens9591 make goals, both long term ones and short term ones. Big ones and also small ones. What would you like to learn? Improve about yourself? Explore? Do? Etc.
Then break those goals down into actionable steps. Break them down into the tiniest little steps possible so that every single day you’re moving a little closer to several goals.
Make sure your goals are totally achievable. And there is no such thing as a “dumb” goal! It can be something as easy as “be on time to work every day” if you’re struggling because of depression to get out the door on time. Or even “be on time to work 4 out of 5 days” whatever goal is reachable for you.
Push yourself just hard enough to avoid failure but not so little that there is no striving being done.
THAT is how you get out of deep, dark, self-deletion type depression.
It is also how you find yourself successful. Those tiny little goals being reached every single day are like a tiny pebble being dropped at the top of a snowy mountain
Once they get rolling they accumulate a lot of force and mass! Before you know it you can’t believe how far you’ve come! And it doesn’t even feel like you’ve been killing yourself or like you’ve done anything so impossible
It’s really all it takes.
I went from being a homeless runaway eating often fewer than three meals a week, to owning a beautiful home with my own horses and a pond to kayak in and a business that I love to wake up and work in every day.
I went from an abusive and horrible home to breaking the cycle and having wonderful children to love and help.
I’ve tried a lot of things over the years to fix those awful feelings of being stuck and things seeming impossible!
Break it down. And celebrate every single accomplishment, no matter how small.
That gets the positive neurotransmitters flowing in your brain and it helps hard wire good neural pathways that weren’t there before.
Also you have to talk yourself out of negative thoughts. Think of those negative thoughts as that bad angel and then as yourself what would the good angel say in response? Then stick with that guy.
If you’re struggling to get off your feet as a young person take heart!! You absolutely can do it! You have no idea how much you can achieve! You’ve got to start making goals. Write them down. Make lists. And physically check them off. And celebrate!
I’ll be praying for you ❤️🥹🙌🏻
@@TheFakeyCakeMaker would it be too personal to say what illness you were later diagnosed with that affected your moods and increased depression?
I have a loved one that has a female specific problem called PCOS and she really suffers depression as a result.
I guess I’m just curious about what other physical ailments can screw with the balance in your body and how your personal experience has been with dealing with that over the years.
Feel free to tell me to piss off 😂 it’s probably a rude question, 🫣
"He tried shooting a Propane tank to cause an explosion. He was unsuccessful." Yeah, video game logic doesn't work in the real world. Who would have thought?
You mean that grenades don’t create large fireballs and car gas tanks don’t make large explosions when shot once? Darn
Love this comment. Thought the same thing 😂
See, that was the problem with the place this guy worked at; they didn't have enough 50 gallon drums of explosive material stored about the place.....
As a child, I use to shoot bic cigarette lighters with my pellet rifle and they would actually explode.
@@mas98love same. I think that has to do with the flint bursting and creating a spark. Normal bullets, steel core, FMJ, etc won’t create enough of a spark upon impact. I have, however, shot at full propane tanks with tracer rounds and they’ll light the propane more often. They aren’t 100% though. And when it did light, at best was a jet of flame from the hole you created which didn’t last very long.
What we forget is the propane tank is a very sturdily built device that is, for all intents and purposes, idiot proof. It was designed knowing people would abuse and neglect them
The sad part is that he filmed himself flipping a coin. One side he would just commit suicide, other side and he would murder his co-workers then kill himself. Those poor peoples lives were taken due to a coin flip.
I just watched his video of the "three" coin flip. It seems the deciding one was landed upright in grass and he picks it up and then the camera can see it when he had it in his hand saying "tails". He was only going to show the coin flip that allowed him to be like klebold and Harris so he could "go out in a hardcore way". Im sure he recorded the outcome he desired, based on his months of planning and journal entries.
Correction as I've seen the coin flip. One side was to do it at work, the other side was to do it (kill & commit suicide) "here" ; he was at his house, therefore killing his parents; then himself. Suicide was going to happen regardless after killing.
Oh, so Two Face then.
The other choice was to kill his family then him
Their lives were taken because he murdered them. Coin flips don't pull triggers or pose that type of threat
The "Stair Case" title joke did not pass unnoticed. Thank you Dr. Grande for the amazing video analysis as always
"i'm guessing that was his heaven & her hell." savage 😂😭💯
🤣
Lol ❤
Right!! I laughed so hard, especially how educationally he made the statement, that I had to go back 20 seconds to cover what I missed while I was laughing. I love this guy.
I thought this was a low blow. 😕
@@indigobreeze2138 against whom, the murder or the cartoon character?
Spot on Dr. Grande. Imagine what an SSRI, mood stabilizer, therapy and lots of love would have done for his prognosis. This kid was suffering an ailment. Just like a broken arm requires a cast and ibuprofen; psychopathy needs meds and therapy. I loved your analysis.
Think it's a bit different to a broken arm
He was fucked in the head and murdered people
I'm in shock how you're covering this low profile case. I live near the store and had visited only once after the massacre occurred and I can say it has a totally different feel where I cant stay in there to shop. The heaviness from negative energy that had once loomed have left an impact on those who can truely feel the differnece in energy. Thank you for sharing Dr.Grande. ~♡~
gosh
They totally remodeled it. He has loads of videos and if you look up EGS Andrew Blaze, he didn't hold back on saying everything he thought! He praised columbine!!
@@elliotoliver8679 He was the biggest jerk a privilege brat who didn't want to work, exactly with me!!
Janelle, I grew up and have family very near to the store. I understand what you said and the feeling of the store.
It's just sad that killing three innocent people has become a "low profile case".
You'd think the parents of a kid who'd lost two friends would be keeping an eye on their child. Guess not, what a shame. As usual, this guy was exhibiting strange behavior but nobody took it seriously. I'd like to know more about his family life, or lack thereof. I'd never heard of this case, thanks for sharing.
Maybe because society is constantly being told to not pressure kids, give them space, don’t judge, don’t expect them to be normal. “keep it weird.”, “why be normal?”. These are the slogans now.
compassion for him before the victim. You must see yourself in him somehow.
I've listened to the videos that were recorded before the event that Randy made.
Most, if not all of them are present on UA-cam.
Apparently Randy never opened up much in regards to depressive symptoms to his Mom and practically did not talk to his Dad because he overall despised him. It's possible that at the least his Mom could of been if they'd of opened up more about the mental struggles. Obviously it does seem to be that his parents weren't the kind that were regularly checking in.
It happens and unfortunately it did here.
Opening up is a great way to move forward onto a better life.
Having people that listen to you and accept your situation are vital for recovery and peace.
I agree too that parents should be keeping an eye on the well-being of their child/children.
If you listen to Randy's recordings about these two friends he lost, at least one of them was not his friend at all. It was just a guy who went to the same school as him and died in a car accident, they weren't even in the same grade according to Randy.
He said that this person's death sparked his fascination with death and dark subjects like that, but if you listen to all his recordings, it comes off as a massive excuse/copout. After watching almost all of Randy's videos, I would say it held no weight on anything he was going to do or what he would become.
He primarily said this kid's death, him totalling his own car, his brother totalling his car, their basement getting flooded, and other trivial crap like that led to him becoming a delusional killer. He mentioned his grandfather died, but he never brought that up as a "trigger" that led him to darker thoughts.
His parents should have been on his ass, never allowed him to buy weapons, and made him get a full time job and/or kick him out of the house. Also probably should have brought him to a mental health doctor or counselor for his depression.
A total shame and waste of life, committed by a spoiled kid who was a total waste of life.
EDIT: Just want to say, may the three victims rest in peace. They did not deserve such a cruel fate.
They were not friends, Randy hardly knew them and amplified his importance to them in his own mind.
He took the phrase, "I'm going GHOST" way too seriously.
YOU WILL REMEMBER MY NAME!
This killed me 😂💀⚰️
💀
I shouldn't be laughing, yet here I am.
Yeah it's like giving a drowning man a ticket to sea world bruh
"He was shooting various objects including marchandise glass and propane tanks, probably in an effort to create an explosion...he was unsuccessful " 😭🤣 Dr Grande is savage
I was expecting this to be about a man who fell to his death down a stair case because he thought a ghost girl was chasing hin
Same
Literally same 😂
I thought the stairs were horny somehow
That’s what I thought too.
I expected it to be about a guy who used animation to create a ghost girl illusion on a staircase to trick someone into thinking a house was haunted. I'm very strange. ;-D
I watched the documentary before Dr. Grande. He desperately wanted to be loved. He mentioned he used to love his Dad but his dad didn't give him positive attention, only criticism. He said several times he couldn't believe his parents didn't notice how disturbed he was even thought he openly left signs. And he couldn't believe none of his fans noticed. He was crying out!! No wonder he identified with ghost characters. He felt angry and invisible.
As someone in SE PA I'm surprised this didn't get more coverage. Thx for this video!
I’m in Reading and never heard of it
I think mass shootings are so frequent that they don’t make for a big story anymore. Also they think don’t want to give it much coverage so people don’t copycat it.
PITTSBURGH, SAME!😌✨💔NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT.💔
i had the unfortunate discovery after watching the Chris Chan series and people mentioned him
The animation and him worshipping columbine was something you don’t forget
I’m glad it didn’t get more out there tbh
Mass shootings are so common in this country. Probably the news people just said “meh, only 4 people dead, why bother?” which is a sad commentary on our times. 😞
My take on this situation: Randy's main problem was that he focused on things that he couldn't control instead of things that he could. His placing of locus of control on external forces and people, which he has zero control over, disappointed him over and over again and made him feel like a victim; which ironically he created a situation for himself where he'd be victimized over and over again. He thus retreats into a fantasy land he creates for himself, where he is everything he desires to be, and convinces himself that his fantasy is the reality so as to seal himself away from the last bits of being grounded in reality.
Eventually, regarding his desire to kill: since he focused so much on things and people that are beyond his control and never gets his way, his desire to control others gets even more intense, and he eventually resorts to committing something heinous, taking the lives of the innocent and doing it in a public setting, in order to control others (that are beyond his control). Regarding why he chose to take innocent lives (his family or the supermarket victims), he felt that he was an innocent person who has been unfairly victimized despite himself not doing anything to deserve it, so he wants to pass on that misfortune onto others.
I think that's a really good point: FOCUSING ON THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL INSTEAD OF THINGS YOU CAN'T - something we can all learn from!!!👍👍👍
@@colinluckens9591 that's sometime we all need to take in and accept and use it to be better.
It is problematic when the locus of control is exterior because you need to actually go and fight for control. It isn't that you are deciding to give control to something exterior... it is that something else controls you. It is very difficult to center yourself once that happens. It is VERY easy to comment about it from the sidelines. It is not trivial, and it is not obvious and easily fixed. It gets people killed. It is a huge problem.
@@Jath2112what do you mean by "it isnt that you are deciding to give control to something exterior its that something else controls you" im a bit confused by this
@@TruthSeekers1989 I have no idea what I was trying to say there... lol. I'll look over the video and re-read the thread after work and see if I can remember wtf I was talking about.
For some reason, I always get the impression that Randy desperately wanted someone to notice what was going on with him and save him from himself.
And, if no one could or would do that, there was no point in him continuing to live.
He repeatedly pointed out that all of the signs indicating that there was something extremely wrong with him were completely overlooked by everyone around him. Parents, teachers, friends...
He was, almost literally, a walking red flag factory. And, if no one was going to stop him from destroying himself, then he was going to make sure that others were made to suffer just as much as he had.
The whole situation was just so tragically sad.
Your productivity level is slightly insane, doctor, but that suits you - being a mental health professional. 💚
Agreed 😵
He makes great content. But he works too much. I wish they would fire Phil the Quack and hire Dr. Grande. Then he'd have a staff and a production team.
That tangerine sherbet button up shirt suits him pretty well too!
@@BucketHeadianHagg I agree 100%!
@@BucketHeadianHagg Would make a fine shirt for a cult leader.

Dr. Grande. Have you ever considered doing a video about how you accomplished what you have and telling us your story? I’ve been in media for 20 years and I’ve never seen anybody so fascinating with the driest humor I have ever witnessed. I know it would be a somewhat strange video for you to produce, but we your audience have become interested in how you became you. I hope you’ll consider it.
well Dr. Grande is a complete professional.
As ditto as dittos get!!!
Dr. Grande is not a Licensed Psychologist, not a Licensed Psychiatrist, and not a Licensed Medical doctor. Dr. Grande received his Ph.D. in Philosophy, and not in medicine. Dr. Grande is Licensed by the state of Delaware as a Mental Health Counselor
@JeffLebowski I agree
If this is the best you claim to have seen in 20 years in media then I highly doubt your credentials, Dude...
Yes!! This case was so crazy to me and I’m shocked it didn’t get more coverage. Love you, doc.
It would seem that the victims didn't fit a certain demographic in order to qualify for headlines, national coverage, riots or looting. It's truly a tragedy that so many lost their lives to senseless violence.
As someone in PA I found the coverage surprising.
it would've gotten more coverage if Randy could at least hit the broad side of the barn with his precise marksmanship
the guy couldn't shoot to save his life
he'd fired almost 5 dozen shots and killed only 2 people
Me too, Olivia. I wonder why it didn't get more coverage?
@@tashastarling870 the victims families probably didn't want it to be apart of the media circus. Not everyone craves attention and is entitled to privacy.
FINALLY! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR MONTHS! Thanks, Doc.
ME TOO!!!
finally sum gud stuff
He seemed like a jealous narcissist
You're noticing yourself in him.
@Sister Supersonic tbh it looks like he personality disorder and gender dysphoria, frustration of not understanding this probably exploded in his violent outburst, tag along a little bit of narcissistic personality, and you get someone who wants to make others experience that violent outburst
@@comfysituations3566 😂
I just heard about this story and I’m so happy you decided to cover it because it makes it even easier to understand. You’re the best ever Dr. Grande. Thank you! Much love. 💚
Judging by the videos he released before his rampage, I got the impression that he put on an act because he wanted attention. The guy was extremely unlikable, and I'm happy that he'll never be remembered on the scale that he was hoping for.
Exactly. He wasn't nearly as interesting or creative as he thought he was...just an ill, deluded loser.
@Mr zoomer You're right, but he didn't get anywhere near the same attention as say the Columbine shooters or Elliot Rodger, which is probably what he hoped for.
@@veeaxis3892 he's remembered for being a pathetic loser who couldn't shoot straight.
@Mr zoomer theyre not, there are like 5 videos about him and a few news reports from the time.
@Mr zoomer There are about 4 videos about him. He wanted to be Eliot Rodger or something , and failed horribly.
This analysis was perfect.👌🏼
Untreated mental health disorders can be utterly tragic. This is a really devastating case.
Thank you for the wonderful review Dr. Grande.❤️
On another note- Those glasses seem very interesting. I will take a look into into, I think the darker lenses may help with my migraines as well.🙂
Good luck sweetie
I am definitely getting a pair for my daughter she is on social media 24/7 and she’s 17, as much as I tried to limit her time on there she absolutely will not listen to me. She ended up getting glaucoma due to this!i asked for her phone and iPad so I could limit it one night and she directly said “NO” to me and kept saying no I grabbed her phone and she kicked me in the stomach after I just had an appendectomy. So I grabbed the back of her neck like a puppy to get her off of me. She ran and called her aunt her aunt called the cops on me and CYS, my x sister in law her aunt called my sister and told everyone a deranged story even though they weren’t there! Wrote me a letter sent it through the mail from the sheriffs office saying I was mentally ill and on drugs my daughter then went to live my sister. Because my sitin law hired a high power attorney. My daughter now gets to stay with my sister as long as she follows up with her eye care well she needs to be on drops a year ago and the Specialist is really worried about her going blind. My daughter now blocked me because I keep pushing them to go . Neither of them think it’s important and now they are saying I’m harassing her. I have no idea what to do, I cannot afford an attorney and I miss her so much it’s killing me. . I miss my daughter before she was brainwashed and I literally cannot stop crying, how can my own sister do this to me. I’m hopelessly in extreme pain. I miss her face every day., someone please help me.!
@@JOY-ye2us that is so heart breaking. Do you have free legal aid where you are and maybe you can talk to a mental health proffesional about the whole situation to get some advice on what to do and how to help your daughter. It sounds like maybe her problems go beyond just excessive use of devices, other underlying issues. Please find someone you can talk to just for your own health. A problem shared..... Prayers for you and your daughter ❤️
@@JOY-ye2us I am really sorry to hear this. It’s heartbreaking!🥺

I have a son who is 17, sometimes I think if he was a case like this I would be absolutely helpless, even if I got help for him and gave him tons of love and support, sometimes disasters aren’t preventable and are just bad luck. Then I randomly and continuously thank him for being such an a normal kid and as a result he thinks I’m crazy 😂
Thank you for mentioning the fact that wearing women’s undergarments could simply be a preference rather than the mark of gender dysphoria 🖤
Yes, it's important because a lot of people do that for various reasons.
@@GGiblet probably tmi but I wear boys cartoon briefs & it is in no way sexual or about gender. They fit well , they’re cotton, & I think grownup women deserve Deceptacon & Autobot undies too!
Yep. I’ve known smaller-framed cis/het dudes who wear more unisex-looking women’s pants and shirts as they prefer the fit. I’m a woman who wears men’s skinny jeans as they come in my inseam without an up charge, and sometimes I wear my husband’s band t shirts.
@@celesteisneat 😄 nothing wrong with having any kind of underwear you fancy, I say (or none at all, if you prefer, lol) and the whole assigning gender to our clothes seems silly- you only go round once, have a nice time, be happy 💙🌈💙
I saw an ad on YT a few days ago for a company making legit girl boxers now. They’re not cute-but they look comfy.
He was young a depressed. We've all been there. He chose one of the worst possible paths to go down.
A lot of us did. Hell, at one point, I thought about taking out some bullies that made the prior five years hell when I was growing up. it was endless with their abuse on and off school grounds. This was long before the internet. But, after about 5 minutes of serious thought, I shook it off and said "no way" since I knew that even I did what I set out to do, the bullies would be gone. But, my life would be ruined, along with the lives of my family members. I wasn't going to put them through that and I really didn't want to destroy my life before i had a chance to get going. I had no intentions of killing myself, either. The bullies didn't need to think they had won.
I chose to focus on music as a reason to stick around and stuck to that. One of the best things I could've done. Seems like this dude needed to get into creative pursuits more at the very least. Perhaps some meds. But, you never know how any medication is going to react.
Either way, damn shame that people waste their lives and those of others.
Dr grande would it be possible for you to do a video on abusive neglective parents that cause their child to become a narcissist.
And would it be possible for you to explain to people what a narcissist really is. it is so hard to tell people about them. When they come off so nice to people that people can't think that they're bad whatsoever
Most people have some narcissistic traits but this doesn't mean they have NPD. Dr Grande has covered this topic extensively in past videos.
He blew his brains but let's talk about these glasses
🙈🙊😆
this is the kind of glasses that would stay on even after a shotgun blast to the face
You're suggesting that he should have gotten a brain bucket manufacturer to sponsor this episode?
@@PenelopePennyLane I vote for this product. Can I set up an alert to notify me ONLY when brain buckets are talked about? And not hard hat brain buckets, actual brain buckets
He blew his brains out in the deli section. Customers were avoiding the deviled ham for weeks after.
I usually skip the "word from our sponsor" but somehow the Dr's tone and delivery makes me feel like I NEED to hear this information.
I didn't hear the word "sponsor" and suddenly I'm thinking the analysis is that Randy Stair went on his rampage because of eye strain due to the blue light of computers... No wait. That's just the opinion of expert, Felix Gray. That's when I went, "Wait. What?"
I know, lol, stupid ads!😂
Lmao!!
Never been confused in my life
Really hilarious LOL, thank you for writing about that and what happened hahahaha
Danny Phantom is one of my favorite shows of all time... To think Ember was the reason a real life shooting happened... Now every time I watch Fanning the flames I think of this guy and feel grateful I know the difference between reality and animation
I’ve never seen Danny Phantom, but the animation style and the intro looks pretty awesome and I’ve always wanted to see it as well as The Fairly OddParents.
Those Felix Gray glasses look good on you Dr. Grande!
So sorry for his suffering. So terribly sorry for those he hurt.
Yay! I've been requesting this one for a while so I'm so glad you're covering it
Hi, Dr Grande, thanks very much for your Randy Stair analysis. Such a tragic case.
I wish he'd gotten an animation job somewhere. It might've saved his life. His victims would be alive today.
Whenever I see a story on UA-cam about someone who was completely insane…. I head to Dr. Grande’s channel to see if He did an analysis. Dr. Grande never disappoints! Constantly learning from You Dr. Grande!
Thank you so much for this video. Despite the heinous crime, I can see myself a little in Randy and would make sure I get the help I need before it gets worse.
I love this channel!!! So glad it’s growing I love the new format of how you do things the background maybe add a picture on the wall or maybe some flowers. But I’m just so happy your channels growing you deserve it. XOXO love from Seattle
*Dr Grande's new book just arrived on my doorstep!* OMG it's soooo good, too!
I can't help but marvel at the irony of the title, "the Stair Case".
Likely not to heaven.
I knew Randy(online not in person) and I thought this was a wonderful analysis
i just want to hug ppl like this, i know it doesn't always help them but you never know.
*look at how people treat other people, putting people down because of the clothes that they wear or don't wear, physical attributes that we can only change through extreme measures. and why? usually to make themselves feel better then people wonder why people become anti social and grow a distain for others. people will pretend to like you just to get closer to you so they can continually make fun of and be little you. when people speak up about it they get bullied more, what are they supposed to do when they have no one else to turn to, or feel like they don't? we shouldn't be surprised that things like this happen we should be surprised that we can't learn how to treat others respectfully
What if it was your child in that supermarket? Would you hug him?
what if this what if that? there are a lot of what if's in the world, if we take care of things at the root like not treating ppl like shit we might not have to think about the what if's.
I was bullied from my first day of school to my last. Life up to age 18 sucked. (Other than getting into music) I can understand being so pissed off at society that you want to do something drastic. However, it should never go past an initial thought. It's a shame that so many people can't just shake that shit off and just keep going day to day. No need to do something that will harm others or yourself.
Unfortunately randy stair was a close friend to someone within my friend group. I heard his name brought up in conversation and am grateful I never met him. Thankfully my friend didn’t talk to him during his break as well, because he broke ties with everyone and secluded himself well before changing his name and UA-cam content, so this hits somewhat close to home. Anyways thanks for the analysis Dr Todd Grande! I enjoy your vids!
Imagine putting a sponsor onto a video about a guy that lost his mind and shot up his job and killed himself.
Just wait until Dr. Grande starts promoting Raid Shadow Legends. 'Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anyone, only speculating that you should play this game'.
Thank you for making an episode about Randy
Thank you for your analysis of this bizarre case and with that I close the book on Randy Stair.
This color fits you great dr.Grance, nice case study , brilliant as always :) The plants are also in interessting order :)
When more info is available it would be interesting to hear your thoughts and speculations on the recent Terror Attack suspect from London Ontario (Canada)
Good evening, Dr. Grande! Again, I managed to catch the fresh upload. While I actually have the time to watch the video!
Been waiting for this one. Randy is someone I used to watch on UA-cam way back in 2010 when he done collabs with makemebad35. Never could've foreseen anything like what happened, but when I found out I just couldn't believe it. So strange.
Heyy i used to love makemebad. Never knew about those collabs tho
@@elijah1110 Agree, makemebad deserves more credit for being one of the OG UA-camrs imo. He said on Twitter that Randy actually sent him a suicide note before going through with his plan, but I think he deleted the tweet. I wonder what he said, I honestly feel bad for Damian. It has to be heavy experiencing something like that.
@@dositless9554 From what I saw it was very obvious that this guy was going to kill people. I am sure as a kid you couldn't really tell, but it wasn't like he kept it a secret.
@@dositless9554now that you mentioned it Damien made a video back in 2018 where he said that he was going to take a break for a while but it has been 2 years I'm pretty sure he's doing this because 1 he's still sad about the loss of Randy and he still likes him to this day but doesn't say that he does to avoid controversy 2 he could also be doing this because of health issues similar to jacksepticeye or in general because he doesn't want to do it anymore which is fine
@@thecoolmanstation I don't think they're related at all. They met on xbox live years before the shooting and became friends. Damian could tell Randy really wanted friends to play with. Over the next few years they did grow closer, but then Damian moved. They became disconnected at this time because I assume Damian was going along with his life, getting older, making less content.He knew Randy said that he had the ghost of a girl from another universe in his body, but Damian thought he was just kidding. Eventually Damian was sent a long suicide note from him. That was all in June 2017. Damian wasn't uploading his regular content since April, and even before that, his uploading was dodgy. Either way, he explains in the last video that he just feels like he peaked a long time ago, he's gotten older, his interests have changed, and frankly he probably wasn't able to afford to keep producing content like this from a financial standpoint, as this was near the time of UA-cam's ad-pocolypse and mass censorship, they even UNVERIFIED the makemebad35 account for absolutely no reason, which is also not good for revenue when you've been such an important creator for so long. I know this whole ordeal shook him up quite a bit, but not enough for him to not talk about it publicly on Twitter, so... If that was one of the reasons, it definitely would've been referred to, or at least hinted at in his final video. I just wish the dude would come back.
I'd really love to see your analysis of Klaus Kinski's personality.
Personally, I would rather be alone. I do not care for small talk. When others acknowledge me it makes me uncomfortable. Sometimes uncomfortable enough for extreme anxiety. There is only a handful of people that I feel comfortable around. This includes my spouse and children. I have been in a relationship for 23 years but never married and stay in separated rooms. Even at home, I feel most Comfortable by myself but I can sit in the same room as someone else. However small talk is pretty much nonexistent.
This all stems from childhood trauma. Being made to stay quiet and unseen. Being put in closets for long periods so that I am not seen nor heard. Being poorly fed. Many times with spoiled foods or drinks. Which has affected me medically in my older years. I have Crohns disease.
I find it interesting on how behavior of others and environment can dictate an individuals personal life. How a human is so adaptable to withhold the pain and anguish. How when having free will they still feel more comfortable in the environments that caused the abuse. Yet, does not continue the abuse cycle. Maybe only personal abuse upon themselves with feeling most comfortable in said environments?
So sorry 😞 🇬🇧
Carpe Diem I’m so sorry, 😢 What an awful experience. I hope whoever did that to you gets what they deserve, and that you can have peace 💜. 🇦🇺
since you were restricted from seeing and interacting with others your entire life--staying home would feel safe and comforting.
wishing you the best
💜
Being a introvert is not a bad thing. Certainly it isn't the cause of homicidal tendency
Sheesh. I see this in myself. I want to be a social person and was naturally social child but was isolated growing up. I looked really hard and found a therapist who could help me. I hope you find more safety in your world and become open to more love.
Yes, re-traumatizing yourself is soothing, but no helpful. I still struggle with enacting abuse on myself, but have discovered that it hurts my marriage and friendship.
Wishing you healing and joy. Sorry that the trauma happened to you. You never deserved that.
Not making any diagnoses either but this suspiciously looks like a case of: Crazy lonely white boy with access to firearms 🤔
Hahaha
He wasn't always like that. Many were shocked by the news. His co-workers thought he was a decent person.
@@briannacc3983 well yeah, the same can be said for most people who end up doing what he did
The fact that he can make this video with a straight face shows his professionalism. This kid was WAY OUT THERE!!!
Thank you for talking about this case, Dr. Grande, your analysis are always interensting!
I've been waiting for this one!
I haven't heard about this case before, you certainly have one of the most interesting content on youtube Dr Grande
Congrats on another sponsor, Dr. Grande! You did a great job with the ad. Much better than the pre recorded ones from sponsors. I'm impressed! ❤❤
The way Dr. Grande transitions into his sponsors is honestly the best 😂😂😂
Andrew, Rachael and Mackenzie were all the same person. He had individual twitter and FaceBook accounts for himself and Rachael and Mackenzie and he would talk with them as tho they were individuals, but they were really himself having conversations with himself as Rachael and himself as Mackenzie. One of his biggest issues was his perceived lack of affection from his father as he became an adult. It was a big turning point when his dad asked him to prepare to move out of their house in his early 20's.
Jeez, where was this kid's family the whole time?? Seems like he had no value system taught to him at all. Confused and lost in his case was a vast understatement.
his family is the reason why he turned out this way, he learned how to behave from them. His entire personality structure was messed up, that comes from family. I'm sure they did teach him a sort of value system though... Mostly narcissistic values I bet, like ranking people in hierarchies, needing to see oneself as superior to feel worthy of existing, seeing people as inferior and unworthy of existing, craving attention and admiration, and the importance of external image. In his case also that interaction with other people is threatening.
I'm talking moms or dads that "bond" with their kids secretly trash-talking strangers with their kids, comparing which model is prettiest, talking well only of rich, prestigious people, comparing their kids to such people, fishing for admiration and compliments from them, and always reminding them that they're not as good as they were at their age... They're told that they're better than the other kids but at the same time they're stomped on, criticized, and are only rarely offered conditional affection, always to feed the parents' ego. Their kid learns to expect that from people in general, like that's how they'll look at them. That's how the kid learns to think about others too, after all. They have to believe that they're superior and worthy of existing, it's non-negotiable, so when that doesn't match reality, it's reality that has to adjust itself. That's why they don't have both feet planted firmly on reality. On the other hand, believing in themselves so much often helps them become rich and/or powerful and that's why we can't have nice things.
Whole lot of messed up parents, most people have dads for instance but most of them have just decided to just not raise their kids, they let them either become men themselves or destroy themselves. It is the truest betrayal.
@@AntoDesormeaux
Nice analysis of what 'might' have been happening. We can't actually know if that was the case though.
@@AntoDesormeaux thats a lot of words for such nonsense
It's always mommy's fault. Or daddy's fault. At what age do we take responsibility for our own actions and thoughts? 30? 50? 89? Not everyone who is messed up got that way due to bad parenting. After a certain age, your peer group has much more influence on you, than your parents do. You screw up as an adult, it might be all on you. Of course, terrible parenting can definitely ruin a child, and carry over to adulthood. Just not 100% of the time.
Dr. Grande a man full of light shines light upon the world
That switch of glasses mid-video felt very wierd
Really dig your editing especially the instant change of glasses. Keep up the good work Sir 👍.
Daaaang Dr G! 😲 The sunglasses are perfect, they really complement the shirt! I swear I can't imagine any shade of any color that you cannot absolutely Rock! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do! When I see those notifications pop up, I get a nice serotonin boost every time! 😀 I hope you're taking care of yourself as well as you take care of your plants and your fans. 💕 I'm sure everyone would understand and in fact, would encourage you to take a much deserved rest. We'll be sad but we'll be here! 💚 when you get back. 😊 Thanks again, Dr Grande!
Never heard of him as I'm 🇬🇧 but anyone who can make the sorts of expressions shown in his photo is quite clearly insane.
I really appreciate your analysis of cases like these. It's a unique perspective that i don't often see myself.
I’ve been waiting forever for you to cover this! A Dr. Grande special!
Interestingly Randy Stair mentions in one of his videos that he refused to seek psychiatric help, as it would alter who he is. This may indicate that had he received the help he so desperately needed he may have had the opportunity to realize just how unwell he was as the necessary therapeutic steps were taken. It truly is a horrible tragedy.
I remember watching this guys videos before the killing. I found his angry outbursts hilarious. Never thought he would do anything.
@Obscure Anomaly it made me question gun laws in the USA. I am pretty sure when the founding fathers made the right to bare arms a civil right, this was before mental illness was as rampant as it is today. Back then autism was unheard of. Now it is something like one in ten births. Most of these mass shooters are on the spectrum
interesting case and i really liked your analysis, thank you Dr Grande! off to watch the patreon stuff now!
Doc G be Rockin’ da Tangerine Dream collared shirt today!!!
This Stair case spiraled out of control.
i'd love to hear your take on "kinnie" culture Dr. Todd! when is it harmless vs. when is it harmful, etc
Admit it, you just want to hear him say the word "otherkin"
kinning as in when people relate to a character or kinning as in they believe they're the character?
@@moonstone6133 that's the distinction i'd love to hear his opinion on! where should we draw the line w/ escapism to maintain our mental health
@@bronzergoth7598 ahh ok. yeah I've been wondering the exact same thing, and it'd be really interesting to hear what he has to say about it
I'd also like to hear a nuanced, expert take on it
Thank you so much Dr. Grande! This is such an interesting topic! I haven't even listened to the video yet but I'm really excited to hear your point of view on this extraordinarily strange case!
Great video, one of your better analyses in a while! interesting case, honestly.
Obviously, Randy was in a lot of pain. He was not alone in that respect. Thanks for your kindness and thoughts Doc 😘
A lot of people are in pain. They don’t go around committing mass homicide. Wonder if it was your relative in that supermarket on their work shift if you’d still have as much compassion for him.
@@Melinamiu007 I know Miranda. No I wouldn’t.
I'm so glad you did an analysis on Randy. Randy didn't want to get mental care because "that wouldn't be me". Felt that therapy and other mental help would change a part of their self. They were probably pretty ignorant of mental health resources but I always theorized that they somewhat defined themself their anger and other negative emotions (which sorta/kinda fits in with their narcissism).
I live fairly close to where Randy Stair did. I remember when me and my brother went to that Weis market and we bought sodas about a year before the shooting happened, so theres a possibility that we could have seen him.
Randy brought pain into this world for a REASON.
I was way into Danny Phantom in middle school so this case hit me friggin' hard. Like, really hard. How do you go back to an old fandom after that? You really can't.
It's a great show, but you shouldn't let one unstable person's obsession with it ruin it.
@@RB01.10 well...to be honest certain ''fan''s such as this wackjob are in pretty much every fandom....instead of seeing fiction as a outlet to express ones creativity or simply as means to blow off steam they see it as a escape from their own reality and start to live vicariously through the characters to the point where they begin to prefer the fantasies in their head to the reality that's around them. and when that fan already has a history of mental heath issues.....pay attention to what they say: those who believe absurdities commit atrocities
@@deathkorpsinfantryman1898 Fair points.
The classic 2000 song “Stan” by Eminem is a great song that showcases how fandom obsession can go too far.
@@RB01.10 huh funny that's the same year i was born ! man do i feel old....eh anyway thanks but i will admit to my own personal issues with anxiety and i do tend to get lost in my own imagination at times but never to the level of madness like this prick. but on the bright side it is good to know that there are people more fucked up then i.....in short one should learn not just from one's own mistakes but also the mistakes of others. peace out
@@deathkorpsinfantryman1898 What's crazy is that this guy seemed to think he was gonna get nothing but veneration from people after his death, instead of the revulsion and condemnation that he in fact got and deserves.....
Dr Grande, I love to watch your videos! They’re very entertaining! 👍
I don’t know how I found your channel but I’m so glad I did.
I specifically searched this video 👀 I was hoping you were going to mention about the relationship with his father 🤷♂️
Looking forward to the cactus expansion I'm predicting from the shelves 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
A nice fern would look good on the new table 🇬🇧
@@alimar0604 ferniture. Plus something that looks like a cactum but isn't is called a "cactoid".
A bonsai would be nice
A prickly prediction
Ohhhhh! Bonsai!!!!! Ferns are nice too💚🙌
He never received the appropriate mental health care😓 Thank you, Dr. Grande for the analysis of this sad case.
Why did he need to kill others to become a "ghost girl"? His blocking all of the exits was cold and sadistic.
They needed fresh souls for EGS, that was his contract.
Was literally about to ask for this. Haven’t seen anyone else really cover his case!!
