      Choices are learned behaviour learnt mostly within a family.

It might just be the ones I've watched and it just seems that way but it's weird how often it's a big guy or a little one. 😁 My husband is 6'7 280lbs so I hardly ever see a guy his size, I consider most of the men I see as short after being with my husband for 26 yrs.

    ***spoiler alert***
    Good old Ray had a much better exit than the person he beat to death, who lingered on in misery for years.
    He lived a sad and in the end useless, hurtful life. Each of us has the power to look in the mirror, and decide to change who we see there.
    How long will people be evil, because they've suffered? We have all suffered ,if you have lived any life at all! Sit around and whinge about it forever, and use it as an excuse to get your adrenaline rushes and ill gotten gains.
    Get over your suffering, like so many others have! You jump in, and help other suffering people, or just go the evil route, and decide to only think about your own pain. If you have really suffered, don't you want to ease another's burden? It is never too late to have a change of heart, I truly believe that, He was given that opportunity too.
    None of his grandiose inmate speeches of mistreatment was anything more than a con, grift, plain and simple. He didn't give a toss about his fellows.
    At least that's how it looks from here.

Don’t blame your horrible childhood or some emotional trauma. There are no clear answers why he became what he became.

      These shows are incredibly simplistic. The science behind what creates a violent criminal is not. Unimaginable childhood trauma and violence is just one of three factors that contribute to the creation of people like this guy.
      I wish they would - at least in cases newer than this - would have talked more about the neuroscience (including but far from limited to traumatic brain injuries) and the genetic factors that extremely often are found in people like this guy, in ADDITION to the childhood trauma and violence.
      But how do you explain brain mapping, genetic coding and mapping, and incredibly complex neurological science to people who just want to watch a true crime video?

    It seems to me that Danny's mother was murdered I don't think at all that she killed herself like that have you ever in your life heard of a woman murdering herself committing suicide by burning herself alive that makes no sense at all I guarantee maybe it wasn't Denny's father that said this that said his mother on fire but maybe someone else got out of prison just before Danny's dad did and Denny's father was so angry with Danny's mother for whatever reason that he sent another inmate over to the house to set her on fire while Danny was outside does that make sense because I really don't I don't I can't imagine in the history of the world that a person has ever killed himself like this that wasn't like I mean I know it's happened for in a protest of whatever people have done that but I don't imagine a mother of children when she's in the kitchen one second you know in the next second she's doing no that doesn't make sense to me at all I don't believe that I think she was murdered

    Maybe he didn't do it maybe it was somebody that never escaped the prison it was actually an inmate that's still in the prison he doesn't look like the type that would have done that he looks like I was Presley and that mugshot Jesus
