  1. I wonder how much that Monster pays to everyone involved for his release? For sure corruption plays here!

  2. "Not guilty by reason of insanity."

    What a disgusting judicial system…. We've even let mass school shooters out after they do their time.

  3. facebook dating to be specific

  4. NGI still happens… Hinckley also…

  5. He said, "I want YOU to be the werewolf in our relationship. So let's take a stab out of love."

  6. Let's be honest…. They just don't want a mentality ill guy dating. It's discrimination

  7. Why is it almost ALWAYS a woman that stands up for what's right, but when we say "There aren't many good men out there" the response is always "They're out there." Besides our (under) paid heros, WHERE ARE THE GOOD MEN???? Sitting on the sidelines of life, watching?

  8. You never know who someone is just looking at a picture.

  9. Firing squad no blindfold

  10. Dude should be locked up still. Someone’s going to get hurt

  11. So you can commit murder and as long as you are crazy you are ok.

  12. "Likes to connect with other people" with a knife that is. So why is this guy still walking around like he's all better now

  13. Oh lordy…
    … just got back into online dating…

    Maybe I'll just go with my backup plan of being a crazy cat lady.

  14. good ! now he cant stab anyone online…im glad they removed his social media🙄

  15. Thanks Maskoffweb i just confirmed the PayPal payment on my account now

  16. Thanks Maskoffweb i just confirmed the PayPal payment on my account now

  17. Homebody sticks people up and says I thought it was a wearwolf ok America 2022 🙈🤮

  18. this is disgusting murderers should not be let out.

  19. this is the reason so many innocents get killed…they release full blown maniacal murderers back into public, as citizens, we have the right to preserve our life, i think its time to take matters into our own hands, these people released that are dangerous, must be hunted down and killed. for the safety of the common , good, normal decent, persons.

  20. WTF!!!! How is he out in public?

  21. Maybe controversial but why can't he be on social media? He served his time. He had a psychiatric break. We can't treat people with mental illness like animals who are not capable of being social. He has every right to date and maybe he's completely honest about what he did in private? It's okay to put something that alludes to something else in your profile as long as you're honest about it when it comes time to have that discussion. If this man is chased out of society for mental illness he could not help at the time, he will only be further marginalized and his health will suffer.

  22. Werewolf or not you getting shot

  23. 3 years for murder ? People get more for less crimes

  24. Stabbed a stranger 50 times because he thought he was a werewolf, and the judge got this psycho walking around in society free…

  25. even he he told the truth people are stupid and would date him marry him regardless

  26. Commits murder, goes to the hospital, gets cured, gets out, and is just as dangerous now as before. Except he's dating on the Internet. Bet he doesn't list his hobbies as Unprovoked Murder. This is why you don't EVER release insane killers. Ever.

  27. Man people get more time for marijuana

  28. Just got back from 2 years traveling huh

  29. Can’t sell a loose joint but go ahead take another’s life and not even in self defense, insane!!!

  30. Lol. Bhasin… He is a poonjober… Surprised??

  31. Too bad he didn't have a dime bag of weed on him when he was arrested. He would still be in jail.

  32. just 3 years in the looney bin, for something that deserves capital punishment, WOW.

  33. I don’t understand how someone can murder someone and be free after 3 years..it baffles my mind how stupid this country can be. When they said “the land of the free” they meant it. We seriously need to start voting seriously and vote for the right District Attorneys for this country.

  34. You better watch him good

  35. Listen if you're so worried an innocent woman will die if she decides to date him from a website because he has a mental illness…then he should not be released from the psych ward. And if the doctors deemed him sane and not a danger to himself or others let the man continue to live his life. I get it he killed a man but unless your gunning for him to get the death penalty because of it stop hounding him. He had a psychotic break, you don't just wake up and decide to schedule one for next Tuesday…

  36. People who describe themselves as easy going are anything but.

  37. What?! He should not be out, he needs to be in a lockup for the criminally insane,

  38. He had the perfect plan.
    He came up with a crazy story to go to a mental facility, act crazy for about a year, then slowly start to “get better” and be released. He fooled the whole system.
