alright there's been a lot of conversations around Gypsy Rose
Blanchard and the murder of her mother she's serving a ten year sentence
recently she wrote a letter to fans which I'll talk about in this video but
I have what might seem like an unpopular opinion about this case that I want to
kind of discuss with all of you
what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution if you're new to my channel something that
I'm really passionate about is mental health and any topics that kind of
involvement so the end of that stuff make sure you subscribe and bring that
notification bell especially because I'll be doing some videos on Gypsy Rose
Blanchard in that entire case so I just released a video earlier this morning
about Gypsy Rose Blanchard being engaged in prison so if you want to check that
out it's up in the info card so make sure you go watch that but Gypsy Rose
Blanchard I'm not gonna go over this story again like maybe I'll make a full
video about it but basically she was the victim of Munchausen by proxy like she
had a traumatic childhood we all know this this is very true and like here's
the thing I often check in with myself because I see I see myself as sometimes
too empathetic and maybe it's because I'm a recovering drug addict and
alcoholic I've worked in treatment and I've seen how you know childhood trauma
can lead to addiction and then addiction leads to other terrible things and
there's a stigma around addiction so I empathize a lot with addicts but also
with a lot of criminals right because a lot of them had crappy childhood growing
up so as I've been making videos about Gypsy Rose Blanchard and seeing the
comments seeing comments on other videos seeing articles being written about it
like Gypsy Rose Blanchard has this massive following there was a massive
outcry of people to get this woman released okay this woman who pled guilty
to second-degree murder of her mother while her ex-boyfriend did the murder
Gypsy Rose Blanchard was very much involved okay
and a lot of people want to see her release
they feel bad for they feel terrible for but I'm sitting here and I'm thinking
I'm like is there some hypocrisy going on or is there a double standard going
on like if you look if you look so first off the United States has a massive
prison population an insane prison population and when you look at most of
the people who are incarcerated they had traumatic childhoods like that is a fact
okay not many people who have an amazing life growing up like turn to crime
whether it's you know using or selling drugs or robbery or violence or murder
or whatever it is like most people have a traumatic childhood so I'm sitting
here and I'm thinking like why are people and I want to just have a
conversation with you like why are people so adamant about having Gypsy
Rose Blanchard released early because they feel bad for when we have so many
other people locked up where you could argue the same thing and not only could
you argue that but most of them didn't commit murder you know what I mean
so Gypsy Rose Blanchard just sent out a letter to her fans because her her
father is trying to get a petition signed to get her released early so she
wrote a letter to fans saying like hey here's how you can help me get out early
and I'm sitting here wondering like hey I'm like this is like I don't know like
a murderer having fans telling them to help her get released early like I'm
just I'm just trying to look at this like like logically for a second of my
weight how many murderers could get petition signed to get them released
early okay now I hate to make the analogy because I know Gypsy Rose
Blanchard there's nowhere near as bad as somebody like Ted Bundy
but Ted Bundy has fans okay like at the end of the day Gypsy Rose had her mother
killed now to help strengthen my argument on this thing and to get your
wheels turning a little bit like um my beautiful girlfriend twist now who wants
mine hunters on Netflix don't know if you watched it like I just always been
fascinated with serial killers and things like that it's just I don't know
it's crazy it's crazy serial killers cults I'm just interested in that stuff
so mind hunters have you haven't checked it out on Netflix go check it out season
two I think might be coming out this year I'm not sure anyways it's not when
they first started like investigating serial killers and first day of serial
killers the name and is based on like true events so one of the serial killers
that they interview to try to get inside the mind of serial killers is Ed Kemper
okay so egg camper if you don't know who he is he was known as I believe the
co-led killer so he started out he said you know he had a very abusive traumatic
childhood he ended up growing up and weeping and murdering his mother in a
brutal way I believe he may have also murdered his grandparents and he then
went on to murder more people all stemming from a traumatic childhood that
dude is in prison for life right and I'm sitting here I'm like okay so this guy
had a traumatic childhood he ended up killing his mother and then killed more
people like what's the difference between him and Gypsy Rose Blanchard I
can only think of a couple differences one is that he didn't get caught for a
while so my question is with gypsy and her boyfriend would have would they have
gone on to kill more people right because of her trauma and everything
like that the second one that I can't help but think of this and here's my
opinion on this I think more people are sympathetic to Gypsy Rose because of
this and please tell me if I'm wrong I believe they're more sympathetic to her
because the case is so strange and there was so much attention put on her case
and her upbringing like when have we ever heard a story like this like we
hear a story all the time about people getting locked up for like murder or
other crimes right but when when else like it's happened before but it's very
rare like what else has like someone been a victim of Munchausen like
fancy been forced to be in a wheelchair for Saha use a feeding tube shave their
head pretend to the public that you know they may have all these illnesses when
does that happen right so I look at this I'm like okay so if these other
murderers if these other people who killed their parents their abusive
parents if they were in those same circumstances and got that much public
attention would they be treated the same as Gypsy
Rose Blanchett I want you to ask yourself that for for a second and
here's the other the other topic I want to bring up is does anybody remember
Jaycee Dugard so those who don't know who Jaycee Dugard is she is a woman who
was kidnapped when she was a child they thought she was she was maybe dead she
was missing forever and the the couple who kidnapped her that kept her in their
backyard right and the man the man ended up raping this young woman when she was
older she got pregnant and had his children okay this went on for years and
they finally liked it look that was a crazy case and I finally found it I
realized who she was like her her and the kids were like I think I'm a college
like trying to convert people to some religion because the guy who was part of
the kidnapping was like super religious so they like let him out and they were
doing this so Jesse Duke Jaycee Dugard did not kill that couple right and like
she had a very traumatic experience so I'm not a lawyer or anything like that
but like again I make videos because just the way our minds work and the way
our logic works just really fascinates me and when that happens I'm like I want
to make a video and have a conversation about this because I'm always trying to
figure out like why is this thing different than this thing like why why
are we so sympathetic to Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her childhood trauma that
led to murder but we're not sympathetic to the the other killers who had
traumatic childhoods and all the people who are currently in prison where you
can argue that their crimes right their crimes can be associated with their
childhood trauma and they developed why are they not getting
as much sympathy and empathy and a chance to be let out right like I don't
know let me know your thoughts on this down in the comments below because it's
just really really interesting to me all right but again I do have some more
videos planned on this entire case I am going to be diving into the topic of
Gypsy Rose Blanchard being a victim of Munchausen by proxy I'm gonna talk about
like what might have led a person to do that and and it give like I think one of
the reasons why I want to talk about this too on my channel is because the
elections are coming out all right the elections are coming up next year and I
am a firm believer that we need prison reform because right now with with the
way that we have privatized prisons people getting locked up and it seems
like the punishment doesn't always fit the crime we are you know enslaving
these people rather than rehabilitating them and trying to get them back into
society so when I see these cases like Gypsy Rose Blanchard that are outliers
and like you have thousands of people backing you up to try to reintegrate her
back into society while there are people serving years in prison for like having
weed like I want us all to kind of sit back and look at this stuff and look at
politicians who are running for president and say like okay like I don't
know maybe we should look at prison reform as a whole because a lot of
people are going through terrible childhoods and that is the reason why
they when they get older all right but that doesn't get rid of the personal
accountability let me clear that up anyways let me know your thoughts on all
these subjects down below if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if
