    Like others have mentioned Scott was stalking Jonathan, he only agreed to be on the show if Scott wasn’t the admirer … and as soon as Scott is revealed as the crush you can see / hear Jonathan say “you lied to me” a message for the producers I think. Wonder if the chick on stage who was noted as “helping” Scott in his quest thought how this may end – or if she knew about the stalking

    I found this channel after being recommended it. I think that I am done with Nick. Here’s why: most of the stuff that he presents is boring as hell but somehow he tells it in a way that makes it seem like it’s exciting. I walk away feeling duped. Also, it seems that he doesn’t do his full research…Peace out Mr. CROWLLEYYY

    I’m a mental health intake counsellor, and telling someone to calm down when they’re actively experiencing a crisis is the absolute worst thing you can do. It escalates the situation so much. I know that dispatch call was many years ago but I hear calls even today where the dispatcher says to calm down and it’s infuriating. People really feed off of your energy so if you’re calm and they understand that you’re listening and supporting them, they’ll naturally calm down pretty quickly.

    So I was on that Jenny Jones stage twice! We have been looking for my tapes and cannot find them anywhere. The amount of scripts and prompts even to us as young teens and the places they took us for the shorts were filthy having us away from our parents for hours with no food or drinks. Not a good experience but would love to find my tapes!

    If John had been a woman, people would absolutely be saying the killing was justified self defense. This was gross, an entire room of people cheering for the sexual harassment of a man

    You have to be seriously mentally insane to go on an entire media tour, calling stations, recruiting community members, to find your missing wife, when you were the one that murdered her and flushed all her remains down the toilet. What the fuck.

    I met a Lyft driver who was from Myanmar and he was really nice. He told me about how it was hard because he fled to another country which let them have citizenship but not anything past saying they live there before he got here. Hope dude is doing ok and I hope he’s ok and gets to visit like he said he wanted to

    Through a meatgrinder and flushed down the toilet… BRUTAL….. That may be one of the craziest ways I've heard of a body being disposed of (also, did nobody investigate the house? There is NO way to clean that to avoid detection….

    I wish John had sued the show and Scott for emotional distress and gotten some mental help from being abused and humiliated, rather than murdering Scott so he wouldn't have had to face jail time. But I see how the whole thing could have made him spiral completely. He was lied to, and they let his stalker have a spotlight to continue the abuse with a live audience approving and cheering on that behavior.

    God, the comments about the first video piss me off. Just a bunch of people desperate to find any excuse for a guy to kill a gay man. Gay panic defense still alive and well i see…

    Its no excuse for John to kill Scott, but you can understand why. He was literally being sexually harassed by a stalker(was proven true later on), and the only way he could've stop the constant harassement and later the airring of the episode was to have sex with Scott. Switch John with a women, and this wouldve been a completely justified to many. Its not different here, and it doesnt matter if it was homosexual or not.

    Hayi ngeke, all these stories are terrifying. Their intricacies/back stories as seen here in the comments make things worse, although the truth is rarely pretty. This was a tough watch.

    The Wetten Das accident is so awful. I don't know how horrific it would feel to watch your son become paralyzed on national TV and have your reaction recorded and for the father to be the one inside the car… Truly devastating

    The Xu Guoli story is one of the most sickening things i’ve ever heard. What he did was so bad that i don’t even feel like he deserves the peace of dying. He should be kept alive and forced to remember what he did.

    The last one is so so sad. Unreality is extremely dangerous and 100% needs to be addressed thoroughly and properly. Very cool concept dont get me wrong, but man, demons/ghosts are likely the most common thing for a schizophrenic person to believe is in their house. Presenting ghostwatch as fact with only a brief, extremely missable warning at the start was not a good move at all.

    I want the gay community to show love to John, for whilst killing Scott wasn't the right thing, being stalked and sexually harassed is absolutely reprehensible. I hope he knows now that Scott was an outlier and that none of his actions are condoned by any of us

    Dude shouldn't have gotten 22 years. 10/15 max. That was a crime of passion and the fact the guy was basically sexually harassing him counts as a mitigating factor.

    I feel bad for John, of course it was wrong to murder Scott there's no doubts about that. But on top of Scott sexually harassing him then putting him in a situation where the world could see him be uncomfortable, Scott took it way too far. He should have respected his space, respected that John was not gay, and left it at that.
