      @@charliefisher6380 interestingly enough, it’s actually impossible for a casual observer to have literally any idea what someone is experiencing within their own mind. Shock can look exactly like what you saw from this woman. Processing time varies WIDELY. I have autism and sometimes it takes me years to even start processing things my brain puts on the back burner, either bc it’s especially stressful or bc I’m already dealing w/ my max capacity and I ran out of energy (see also, running out of fucks to give) the biggest problem w/ this is, you can’t always predict when the thing will suddenly demand to be processed, by giving you a surprise panic attack or crying and not being sure why, etc. This can also happen w/ PTSD, for a lot of people. It took me a long time to realize I wasn’t just seeing random montages of past upsetting events in my life, that that’s actually a PTSD thing.
      Anyway, hope this helps bc your comment was pretty disrespectful and clueless. By learning more about mental health, you put yourself in a much better position for friends and family to feel safe being vulnerable with you.

    I was Stephen and Ildiko’s commercial real estate agent who located that property and helped them lease it. Everything was done remotely and through email so I never saw the property or met them. I happen to be watching the news the afternoon when the explosion happened and I couldn’t believe it! At some point a FBI Special Agent called me to ask me what I knew about them. Mike, your reporting and details on the story were so spot on. Keep up the good work.

It's an incredibly condescending pose of a man who believes they're in total command of the situation. Usually, they are not actually in command of the situation. This man was a fool, soon to be exposed.

      Listening to him talk about his stand up routine was a real shocker. I mean he said “people can relate to”. Who the fuq can relate to that? It's not like everyone has a spouse being blown to pieces everyday. Crazy fuq. I feel bad for the shopgoers who literally had been there when she got blown to bits who actually had her blood and body parts all over them. That's traumatic at the max, ontop of any burns that they got fromsaid explosion. I do wonder what mix he even used to blow her up. I can almost sense the govt imposing more rules and tracking of these chemicals with potential suspects. I mean it's a start but also these people are super crafty from a inexperienced chemistry girl. For them to be able to do that with all the imposed regulations on a lot of household products and such shows a little level of intelligence in the chemistry field that is. Too bad he had to take what he was good at and use it for an evil purpose. Just thinking if he kept up with his rocket buildings he could have a successful page on tictok, youtube and other platforms. I mean is love to see rockets getting blasted up with pure chemistry concoctions. Rockets blasting up super high and everything is super cool and probably would have garnered him more fame then his acting gigs. He could have been that rocket guy. Sadly he made the wrong choice and now a woman life is wiped out, a child lost their mother and other individuals are further traumatized over this experience. Such a waste
