What Dwyer did was not only incredibly brave but on of the most selfless acts ever record on television. The love he most of had for his wife and children is unmatched by anyone to this day. The fact that one man admitted to lying to receive a lighter prison term just goes to prove how prevented our justice system can be when used as a political tool and not used to seek justice. What a sad story in American history we truly are the modern day version of Rome.
yeah, my cousin sure appreciates missing a month from school after devoloping a literal life crippling anxiety disorder from having the pleasure to witness this man's "selfless act" Thank you so much Mr. Dwyer, your family gets a million dollars, and the rest of us get to see your dead slumped body with oceans of blood spraying out the top engrained into our fucking synapses for the rest of our fucking lives. Fuck that man, reality just knocked, it said it would like to have whatever you are smoking.
kind of like today's DOJ going after DJT for absolutely everything under the sun because they are so scared of him taking away their power and giving it back to the people?
Dwyer was later found to be innocent and never took any bribes. Those men lied to save their butts not giving a damn about Dwyer's non-involvement! He did this not because he didn't want to go to prison, nor did this tragect suicide mean he was guilty. He did this for the love of his family......to those who ruined and drove this kind man, as in the evident look of his family's eyes, to suicide will live with their lies and deceit for an eternity! Human kind can be caring, loving and giving. But it seem more and more we have become selfish, self-preserving and down right evil!
I was 12 then, and was watching the news that night when they only showed the whole press conference once, and I couldnt believe what had just happen. I didnt know the reason why he even did it which left me confused really until I watched this video.
Dwyers suicide video was probably the first time I've ever seen a real human being die. I believe I was 8 years old, and it was on a VHS tape. My mother intended to record a cartoon for me, but forgot daylight savings time. It recorded the news program that came on before instead.... whoopss. I still got to see Peanuts though.
God bless ya, Budd. I still don't think he was guilty ;( But at least he managed to take care of his family in the end ~_~; Fuck lying assholes who ruin other people's lives to save their own ass.
He was innocent. I've seen his suicide a lot of times and it still gives me shivers and tears even though it was before I was even born..i just feel so sorry for him..
I thought Bud Dywer is the most Haunting Photo!To think the stress he was under must have been mind blowing ,But he made sure his family were taking care of.Another innocent man Dying because of lies.
Great job. I still remember to this day the live news feed of Bud Dwyer taking his life at the press conference in January 1987. I was 18 yrs. old & sitting in my living room with my Mother. We were so shocked by what had happened & felt so bad for Mr. Dwyer and his family. I learned alot from the other photos you chose and the stories behind them. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!
Danielle McCloskey I saw it live as well. I lived in Harrisburg as and was home from school because I had my wisdom teeth removed earlier that day. Even though it happened over 30 years ago I remember it clearly.
I've read up on the Bud Dwyer case and the more I read into it, the more I was convinced the man was being framed as a scapegoat for the others. I cannot believe the bribery of the witnesses was not taken into account. A terrible injustice was done.
Bud Dwyer....I knew a number of people who worked for him and said he was a very nice guy. That he would never have been involved in such things. They were heartbroken by his suicide.
@pukeylukey199 Yes. But. He was wrongly accused. In killing himself, he said fuck you to the government and since he didn't make it to sentencing, his wife got his life insurance and pension. Hero.

Paul Quinn - Compass Rose the American justice system doesn’t care about actual guilt just who they can pin it on. If they can get a conviction on an innocent man, then he’s guilty.
Welcome to political justice. It doesn't matter if you are guilty or innocent, only which side of a political spectrum your on and what is needed based upon political biases.
What makes that worse is that many states in the USA have the death penalty, so how many innocent people have been executed, based on false testimony or deals done?
@@Michelle-85 Be interesting to see how this current "Bribes for University Places" business pans out..... If there is any justice, we'll see a whole lot more celebrities in the dock. How they dare criticize the rest of us is beyond belief: Two-Faced hypocrites, the lot of them.
Could you perhaps looks at 5 of the most drastically altered Battlefields of History? I think that would be interesting to view. A few examples from WW1 and WW2 spring to mind, such as Messines Ridge where a huge explosion (the largest man-made one at this point in history) altered the actual landscape.
Budd Dwyer haunted me for years. I was home because of a snow day. I was watching WPVI in Philadelphia, waiting for Hogan’s Heroes to come on WFIL. Dwyer, Gary Heidnik, and the Frankford Slasher were what I grew up on. Funny story about Budd. My sister, who was a toddler, didn’t see Dwyer’s suicide. Needless to say she became enamored with the name Budd. Every carnival game we played that summer, she played Budd. And she won every game. She died in December, and guess what her son’s nickname is... Budd.
My brother was one of the cameramen at the Bud Dwyer suicide. He never wanted to talk about it to anyone, other than he was there. We never pushed him, as you could see how much even thinking about it upset him.
A friend of mine wrote a song about 20 years ago called "Guilt is For Free". Part of the lyrics went that "Innocence is expensive and guilt is for free". My self, and a group of other friends wrote some dialogs around this idea, and presented them as brief sketches at a local theater. The Budd Dwyer case always makes me think of that. He was most likely as innocent as they come. But he took the expensive route to show that he was, and wound up being declared guilty, on the words of those who took the inexpensive route and were set free. He would have to have carried that with him the rest of his life had he not killed himself. The others would have walked free, and nobody would even know their names after a couple of years. Guilt assigned to Budd was easy, and cheap to come by. Innocence cost him his life.
Dwyers video of him shooting himself was one of the first videos I saw on UA-cam. Sad as it is he was an innocent man and the man who lied should be in jail!
@@tbone8723 Lotta blood came out his nose,like a fawcett. I think he was innocent but did the noble thing. Suicide was a noble way to ensure your family was looked after going back 3000 years at least. When regimes changed in ancient times this was commonplace although usually with a blade or poison, but it got your loved ones off the hook!
10:20 Nobody home... (Hamster wheel) At that point Stalin kept him around like a trophy. Lenin has cause so much misery in the world that’s still felt to this day.
The Mr Bud Dwyer case was so damn sad, this was a real square shooter, doing all he could to be a good civil servant. His greatest asset was his integrity. Pushed into a corner he couldn't bear to know he was innocent , yet be forced to go through the most humiliating experience one can imagine. RIP sir, you were innocent, destroyed because of your integrity. I live in Arizona but kept track of those case, through the daily news and TV news. I saw the shooting, I had nightmares for quite sometime. I hope the family has been able to recover a bit from this terrible time.
I feel so sorry for Mr Dwyer and his family, it is heartbreaking that corruption drove him to suicide but the fact that he made sure his family were taken care of shows that even at the end of it all he was a selfless man.
The video of Dwyer is much more haunting than the picture. There is actually two different videos from two different cameramen. After he shot himself one cameraman respectfully pointed the camera towards the ceiling, and the other instantly zoomed in so that you could see the blood pouring out of his face.
The fact that all of these historic occuranses are still talked about, despite happening so long ago, to this very day just shows that some things are never forgotten. Sadly enough, some people denies that things like this ever happened. It's many these days that denies that sonething like this ever happened. This is why history is important
Dwyers story hits home. The length that we will go when our back are against the wall. The saddest part is that his situation wasn't caused by his hand.
Great picks. The Bud Dwyer thing was huge. I remember seeing the video when it came out. Talk about going out big. Mine, would include the Space Shuttle Challenger photos of them boarding the shuttle.
I watched the footage of Dwyer pulling the trigger. There was conviction in his voice. He was set in his decision. He was concerned for the safety of others in the room, but none in there could stop him.
I was in the hospital in labor with my 1st when Budd Dwyer shot himself. The TV was on a PA station, and they ran the unedited video over and over all afternoon and evening. It was a very surreal experience.
Back in 94 when I was first learning about what wonders of to what ends you can see on the web was the dark side of Faces of Death, and your number one pick was the aftermath video that was making the rounds before You Tube was even a website. Thank you for filling in the gaps of that story.
I've always lived in New England, a safe distance from any known volcanos so I can enjoy my fear and fascination with them without worry of personal danger. It must have been a terrifying spring in 1980 out there.
A band called FILTER did a song about Dwyer, called "hey man nice shot". Most people think its anout the murder of MLK but its about Bud Dwyer. He got a raw deal for sure.
I have watched the Bud Dwyer video time and time again. I am obsessed with his poise, his elegance, his elan. All these attributes dovetail beautifully. It is wonderful to see the crescendo leading to the gun's explosion followed by the serenity. Truly exquisite.
The Mandela effect on Budd Dwyer's suicide is pretty interesting. A lot of people seem to think they were home from school and saw it happen live considering it wasn't shown on live tv.
My dad was one of the reporters at the Bud Dwyer press conference . He told me years ago that he could tell something was wrong but wasn't able to get to Dwyer in time to disarm him once he produced the gun. That's the most striking photo for me because I already knew the back story.
The Dwyer one really gets me. The things he did and said are not the acts of guilty or callus man. Trying to tell people to stay back for their safety is one thing but telling them to look away or leave if it may affect them is quite another. That shows true care. I'm assuming he would later be found innocent.
Dwyer's suicide was absolutely aired live. It was a snow day & school's were closed. I watched it live. I was 13. I remember what I was eating. Cap'n Crunch.
I have the video of dwyer's death That is not what he said at the end of his speech. He said "When I, and I, Please, Please, Please, Please leave the room if this will offend anyone,don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, this, this will hurt someone." (word for word) It is a Piece in Anthony Levey's Death Scenes 1
I saw information elsewhere about Mr. Dwyer that said his suicide could be seen. I couldn't believe that, but, it's true. I watched the conference that's mentioned where Dwyer did as was said. After watching it, I sat, shaking in my seat. Thank you for explaining how it was for him. How sad an ending.
I remember watching the broadcast of Dwyer's suicide. Over 30 years later and it's as fresh in my mind as it was that day. WPVI Channel 6 was the only local news station to show the actual suicide. Sadly, it was proven that Dwyer was innocent of all charges and he was forced into the suicide in an effort to ensure his family would be provided for. There is a special place in hell for those who lied to save their own asses.
could you link me whatever you read that "proved he was innocent" like even an interview or something? Why did they wait till he was gone to "prove his innocence" makes zero sense to me. NO fucking point of making the jury look evil when the deed's done, what would be the motive for reopening the investigation and who lead said investigation? Unless it was his family, I call bullshit. You sure you didn't just HEAR someone second hand say he was "proven innocent" and parrot it?
u sir deserve more subscribers , great lists no annoying music , and some snippets of information leave u onto a path of discovery about scandals ,events, etc thank you
If you are talking about Lenin, then I believe his last thoughts were "What if there really is a God." He spend his whole life denying it and treating religion as an opium for the masses, purge it from his "ideal" state, and then... he faced death and what might be beyond it. Who wouldn't have doubts? In Poland recently a former communist dictator died. At his deathbed he called for a priest, but his wife disregarded his wishes, and he died before he arrived. So there are precedents.
I was in first grade when JFK was assassinated. We were sent home from school and most businesses closed as no-one knew whether or not it was orchestrated by the U.S.S.R. and the start of world war 3. Then at home we were watching live TV as Oswald was walked through the garage and Ruby gut shot him. Mom came running into the living room, her having been listening to the radio, to shut off the TV and have us go outside and play. Things like that you just never forget. I hope as many people as possible watching the Dwyer conference didn't have color TV. I've done surgery. It's exponentially different to see real blood in color as opposed to black and white.
You are absolutely correct. I watched it live. It snowed that day and the kids had a snow day so I stayed home with them and saw it happen. Luckily the kids were out playing in the snow. As I recall all of the local news shows later in the evening edited the shot out.
The system with offering lighter sentences for implicating others is severely broken. It's just one of many reasons why I hold the US justice system in very low esteem.
I remember that last guy. This was way before blood and guts was normal on TV and it was pretty shocking to see. I saw a video of it on UA-cam some years ago. Don't know if it is still out there though.
Seriously though, how has Bud Dwyer's story NOT been made into a movie yet? - You have an innocent man being wrongly accused. The love story between he and his wife. Overzealous, irresponsible detectives who believe HE'S guilty and the criminals are innocent. The overzealous, irresponsible media convicting him in the court of public opinion. Seriously. Is Ron Howard too busy?
With regards to Dwyer - a legal system that allows defendants to get a pardon in exchange for evidence against another person is no longer a just legal system - there again swearing on a book about a talking snake is hardly rational.
jagara1 I loved your statement and agreed with it completely that is until you decide to be disrespectful to religion. I can respect other peoples right and choice to not believe but I have zero respect/tolerance for someone who says disrespectful things about a subject that so many people hold dear and dedicate their entire lives to. I am not saying you have to agree with them but at least be kind enough to not be so dismissive and condescending about their religion. The last part of your comment was so..... well I don’t even have the words to describe what you have done to people who believe in Bible but for me it bothers me deep down in a part of my soul that hurts for you but is also very angry that someone thinks that it is ok to talk like that to the general public whee you know you are going to offend a lot of people. Who knows maybe you are a troll and you did it on purpose or maybe you are just young I don’t know but I hope you grow mentally and emotionally enough to see why your comment is extremely rude.
@@ikep.5325 they were trying to point out how strange it is that our legal systems way of symbolizing you will tell the truth is to swear on a book that can never be verified as 100% factual. I don't think they meant to be as offensive as you have perceived. It was probably just a short quip that one could read quickly and agree with then carry on scrolling.
At 2:20. The ditch picture does not match the Einsatzgruppen crime in the USSR. It's a picture of a ditch on a tropical island. Looks like Bikini Atoll.
Actually it does. They dug thousands of ditches exactly like that to bury mass amounts of murdered individuals. And that looks nothing like a bikini atoll crater. To even use that as a comparison is hyperbolic and ridiculous. Nowhere near that scale. So are you a holocaust denier or just a shit stirrer?
Dwyers suicide was live. It was shown on CNN. I remember sitting on the couch and watching it. Later the same day it was edited. I will never forget that scenario as long as I live. He shot himself so quickly, no one expected it or knew the damage he had done to his head. There is a man or a women asking if there was a doctor available. That was so tragic.
Which photo do you think is the most haunting?...

The Budd Dwyer case always makes me think of that.
He was most likely as innocent as they come. But he took the expensive route to show that he was, and wound up being declared guilty, on the words of those who took the inexpensive route and were set free. He would have to have carried that with him the rest of his life had he not killed himself. The others would have walked free, and nobody would even know their names after a couple of years.
Guilt assigned to Budd was easy, and cheap to come by.
Innocence cost him his life.

Last picture....immediately you can sense that this is a good man at his witts end...he made the ultimate sacrifice for his family...extremely brave.
I actually saw Bud Dwyer kill himself. Hard to forget after all these years.
I've seen the video. Definitely not easily forgotten. And now knowing that false testimony led to his conviction, truly sad.
@@tbone8723 Lotta blood came out his nose,like a fawcett. I think he was innocent but did the noble thing. Suicide was a noble way to ensure your family was looked after going back 3000 years at least. When regimes changed in ancient times this was commonplace although usually with a blade or poison, but it got your loved ones off the hook!
@Greg Brown Shut up asshole.
@Greg Brown how could you possibly infer that he's inbred because he's explaining the death and how it was a noble dead to save his family
The pure amount of information in these videos is worthy of immense respect! Thank you!
Lenin looks like Charles Manson, in the first photo.
Lmao true
10:20 Nobody home... (Hamster wheel)
At that point Stalin kept him around like a trophy.
Lenin has cause so much misery in the world that’s still felt to this day.
The Mr Bud Dwyer case was so damn sad, this was a real square shooter, doing all he could to be a good civil servant. His greatest asset was his integrity. Pushed into a corner he couldn't bear to know he was innocent , yet be forced to go through the most humiliating experience one can imagine. RIP sir, you were innocent, destroyed because of your integrity. I live in Arizona but kept track of those case, through the daily news and TV news. I saw the shooting, I had nightmares for quite sometime. I hope the family has been able to recover a bit from this terrible time.
Well done, I appreciate the non-bias reporting and all the relevant material to the photos.
I feel so sorry for Mr Dwyer and his family, it is heartbreaking that corruption drove him to suicide but the fact that he made sure his family were taken care of shows that even at the end of it all he was a selfless man.
"you'd fight and you we're right but they were just too strong, they'd stick it in your face and let you smell what they consider wrong"
"now that the smoke's gone, and the air is all clear, those who were right there, got a new kind of view"
first thing that came to my head as well
Killer song though.
"New kind of fear"
The video of Dwyer is much more haunting than the picture. There is actually two different videos from two different cameramen. After he shot himself one cameraman respectfully pointed the camera towards the ceiling, and the other instantly zoomed in so that you could see the blood pouring out of his face.
Well done.. very well put together, I unfortunately watched the vid of dwyers death and it's very disturbing
Budd Dwyer was innocent!
Looks like it.
Hes an honorable warrior for committing seppaku
There is a full video of Robbert Budd Dwyer's suicide. It's everywhere, even on UA-cam.
dude you really do keep your channel fresh as hell with always new information
Luke Marlow IKR?
Luke Marlow What of this is new information?
Lenin looked like "the lights are on but nobody is home"!
That’s communism for you
The fact that all of these historic occuranses are still talked about, despite happening so long ago, to this very day just shows that some things are never forgotten. Sadly enough, some people denies that things like this ever happened. It's many these days that denies that sonething like this ever happened. This is why history is important
Dwyers story hits home. The length that we will go when our back are against the wall. The saddest part is that his situation wasn't caused by his hand.
Well, I guess one could say part of it was.
I think lenin's last piercing stare is the face of a man who knows he has created a monster. And that there was nothing he could do to change anything
We are surrounded by evil and worst, since the dawn of humanity we have embrace it . great video dude!.
The Williams killing shows how fast and ruthless murders are in prisons.
especially with help from the guards.
Great picks. The Bud Dwyer thing was huge. I remember seeing the video when it came out. Talk about going out big. Mine, would include the Space Shuttle Challenger photos of them boarding the shuttle.
Great job on the video, a couple of these I have not seen and you give such a detailed backstory on them that explains more than other channels
I watched the footage of Dwyer pulling the trigger. There was conviction in his voice. He was set in his decision. He was concerned for the safety of others in the room, but none in there could stop him.

How you only have 37k subscribers is a mystery. The quality of your videos are amazing.
I love that you give the back story of the pics, keep it up and stay awesome.
I was in the hospital in labor with my 1st when Budd Dwyer shot himself. The TV was on a PA station, and they ran the unedited video over and over all afternoon and evening. It was a very surreal experience.
New to this and I love how you give a full background thank you
Back in 94 when I was first learning about what wonders of to what ends you can see on the web was the dark side of Faces of Death, and your number one pick was the aftermath video that was making the rounds before You Tube was even a website. Thank you for filling in the gaps of that story.
My mom and dad talk about Mount St. Helen erupting lots, we live in Eugene, OR and he talks about how 4 inches (or so) of ash that rained down here.
I've always lived in New England, a safe distance from any known volcanos so I can enjoy my fear and fascination with them without worry of personal danger. It must have been a terrifying spring in 1980 out there.
A band called FILTER did a song about Dwyer, called "hey man nice shot". Most people think its anout the murder of MLK but its about Bud Dwyer. He got a raw deal for sure.
You actually said Melbourne right unlike other non Australian UA-camrs.
This bloke came up 2 me.
@Sweetpea Read the comment again, it says "non Australian"...
It's Mel-burn right? Not Mel-born?
@@VenomStryker I have always assumed melbern
@@VenomStryker correct
I have watched the Bud Dwyer video time and time again. I am obsessed with his poise, his elegance, his elan. All these attributes dovetail beautifully. It is wonderful to see the crescendo leading to the gun's explosion followed by the serenity. Truly exquisite.
That glassy look very much resembles Charles Manson.
The algorithm has united us once again!
The Mandela effect on Budd Dwyer's suicide is pretty interesting. A lot of people seem to think they were home from school and saw it happen live considering it wasn't shown on live tv.
As far as Lenin, seizures are common in strokes. “Stroke is the most common cause of seizures in older people”. National Stroke Association
My dad was one of the reporters at the Bud Dwyer press conference . He told me years ago that he could tell something was wrong but wasn't able to get to Dwyer in time to disarm him once he produced the gun. That's the most striking photo for me because I already knew the back story.

Quite frankly, I learn tons from your vids, lol.
I saw the entire video of Dwyer. It really is sad he seemed like a good man and also the fact that he was innocent.
Very few gangsters compare to the ruthlessness of Stalin.
True.
mehh .. i think kratos is tha most gangsta
I think that most dictators have no issue lobbing off heads, Stalin is just a High T version. He was a rascal.
Nigel Kent He starved the entire nation of Ukraine.
The Dwyer one really gets me. The things he did and said are not the acts of guilty or callus man. Trying to tell people to stay back for their safety is one thing but telling them to look away or leave if it may affect them is quite another. That shows true care.
I'm assuming he would later be found innocent.
Dwyer's suicide was absolutely aired live. It was a snow day & school's were closed. I watched it live. I was 13. I remember what I was eating. Cap'n Crunch.
Lenin looks crazy in that photo.
I remember the video of Dwyer. The blood rushing out his face is seared in my brain all these years later
I have the video of dwyer's death
That is not what he said at the end of his speech.
He said "When I, and I, Please, Please, Please, Please leave the room if this will offend anyone,don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, this, this will hurt someone." (word for word)
It is a Piece in Anthony Levey's Death Scenes 1
FWIW, Bud Dwyer was railroaded.
The evidence emerged years later proving his innocence.
Such a shame that he felt that he had no other recourse.
My dad was near Mt. St. Helens at the time and the ash covered the whole town essentially making it nighttime
I saw information elsewhere about Mr. Dwyer that said his suicide could be seen. I couldn't believe that, but, it's true. I watched the conference that's mentioned where Dwyer did as was said. After watching it, I sat, shaking in my seat. Thank you for explaining how it was for him. How sad an ending.
Dwyer is a hero, hed rather take his own life to make sure his family is provided for then leaving them in financial ruin after his court case
I remember watching the broadcast of Dwyer's suicide. Over 30 years later and it's as fresh in my mind as it was that day. WPVI Channel 6 was the only local news station to show the actual suicide. Sadly, it was proven that Dwyer was innocent of all charges and he was forced into the suicide in an effort to ensure his family would be provided for. There is a special place in hell for those who lied to save their own asses.
could you link me whatever you read that "proved he was innocent" like even an interview or something? Why did they wait till he was gone to "prove his innocence" makes zero sense to me. NO fucking point of making the jury look evil when the deed's done, what would be the motive for reopening the investigation and who lead said investigation? Unless it was his family, I call bullshit. You sure you didn't just HEAR someone second hand say he was "proven innocent" and parrot it?
u sir deserve more subscribers , great lists no annoying music , and some snippets of information leave u onto a path of discovery about scandals ,events, etc thank you
His last thoughts were as follows:
"Holy Shit, everybody I had murdered are now waiting for me on the other side".
If you are talking about Lenin, then I believe his last thoughts were "What if there really is a God." He spend his whole life denying it and treating religion as an opium for the masses, purge it from his "ideal" state, and then... he faced death and what might be beyond it. Who wouldn't have doubts?
In Poland recently a former communist dictator died. At his deathbed he called for a priest, but his wife disregarded his wishes, and he died before he arrived. So there are precedents.
If you look at his crazy eyes, which were not so crazy in regular pictures, it looks as if his is saying with his mind "I'LL BE BACK!
Oh I remember now, just before his head died, his last words were "Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back."
Leszek Majchrowski His wife is a bitch then
@@mirrond44 He wasn't the precedent. He was the prime minister.
I was in first grade when JFK was assassinated. We were sent home from school and most businesses closed as no-one knew whether or not it was orchestrated by the U.S.S.R. and the start of world war 3. Then at home we were watching live TV as Oswald was walked through the garage and Ruby gut shot him. Mom came running into the living room, her having been listening to the radio, to shut off the TV and have us go outside and play. Things like that you just never forget. I hope as many people as possible watching the Dwyer conference didn't have color TV. I've done surgery. It's exponentially different to see real blood in color as opposed to black and white.
As a correction to the Bud Dwyer (sp?) part, yes his suicide WAS broadcast live. IIRC, it was WHP 21 of Harrisburg/Camp Hill PA.
I lived in Harrisburg and saw it live on TV
You are absolutely correct. I watched it live. It snowed that day and the kids had a snow day so I stayed home with them and saw it happen. Luckily the kids were out playing in the snow. As I recall all of the local news shows later in the evening edited the shot out.
Great video and you've got a Morgan Freeman-caliber voice for narration my friend.
Chris Smith Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman tier narrating voice.

10:15 Lenin had a series of strokes leading up to his death... He's probably doesn't know where he is.
I really enjoy this, especially a decent length video! Please continue with these interesting parts of history! You've gained a new subscriber ☺️
The system with offering lighter sentences for implicating others is severely broken. It's just one of many reasons why I hold the US justice system in very low esteem.
robert dwyer good guy till the end
I remember that last guy. This was way before blood and guts was normal on TV and it was pretty shocking to see. I saw a video of it on UA-cam some years ago. Don't know if it is still out there though.
Love your channel
@9:27 Rest in Peace Johnston.
@13:28 Rest in Hell Ulyanov/Lenin.
You can still find a graphic video of #1 online. It's very chilling.
Again a fantastic video full of such great in-depth knowledge and facts. This is my favourite channel!
I feel for Budd Dwyer I can't imagine what must have been going through his head in those final days.
After watching the suicide video, I can without a doubt tell you what went through his head.
Seriously though, how has Bud Dwyer's story NOT been made into a movie yet? - You have an innocent man being wrongly accused. The love story between he and his wife. Overzealous, irresponsible detectives who believe HE'S guilty and the criminals are innocent. The overzealous, irresponsible media convicting him in the court of public opinion. Seriously. Is Ron Howard too busy?
With regards to Dwyer - a legal system that allows defendants to get a pardon in exchange for evidence against another person is no longer a just legal system - there again swearing on a book about a talking snake is hardly rational.
jagara1 I loved your statement and agreed with it completely that is until you decide to be disrespectful to religion. I can respect other peoples right and choice to not believe but I have zero respect/tolerance for someone who says disrespectful things about a subject that so many people hold dear and dedicate their entire lives to. I am not saying you have to agree with them but at least be kind enough to not be so dismissive and condescending about their religion. The last part of your comment was so..... well I don’t even have the words to describe what you have done to people who believe in Bible but for me it bothers me deep down in a part of my soul that hurts for you but is also very angry that someone thinks that it is ok to talk like that to the general public whee you know you are going to offend a lot of people. Who knows maybe you are a troll and you did it on purpose or maybe you are just young I don’t know but I hope you grow mentally and emotionally enough to see why your comment is extremely rude.
@@ikep.5325 they were trying to point out how strange it is that our legal systems way of symbolizing you will tell the truth is to swear on a book that can never be verified as 100% factual. I don't think they meant to be as offensive as you have perceived. It was probably just a short quip that one could read quickly and agree with then carry on scrolling.
Ike Phelan well I don’t believe in something that’s more like a book of morals and silly shit
It's amazing how while some photos are mundane initially, can be so powerful in the future.......
At 2:20. The ditch picture does not match the Einsatzgruppen crime in the USSR. It's a picture of a ditch on a tropical island. Looks like Bikini Atoll.
Actually it does. They dug thousands of ditches exactly like that to bury mass amounts of murdered individuals.
And that looks nothing like a bikini atoll crater. To even use that as a comparison is hyperbolic and ridiculous. Nowhere near that scale.
So are you a holocaust denier or just a shit stirrer?
The Social Raptor You're gorgeous. I'm not trying to be creepy. Just pointing out that you're gorgeous. Hope that's OK with you. 🙃
I lol'd
Dwyers suicide was live. It was shown on CNN. I remember sitting on the couch and watching it. Later the same day it was edited. I will never forget that scenario as long as I live. He shot himself so quickly, no one expected it or knew the damage he had done to his head. There is a man or a women asking if there was a doctor available. That was so tragic.
