He suffocated a man to death and then dismembered the body. How the hell is this psychopath even free?!
If someone is biting you and you have broken glass in your back from them putting it there...your in the middle of a battle....you don't know how to make the biting stop and may bleed to death....then realize the guy is dead....yes he should have called the police after that....but he was on drugs and was scared...he made the wrong decision...and he paid for it with 17 years of his life...what more do you want for him disposing of a dead body~???
Medusa Lvamp
You're totally taking the entire situation out of context and formulating your own weird fantasy. The facts are the facts. He suffocated the guy to death and then cut him up. Period. 99% of anyone who does that in the USA gets life in prison, not 17 years. For these reasons, I think most would agree that Mr. Alig is a very high risk to be put back into society. That's my whole point.
Medusa Lvamp Your logic is clearly twisted, since it would probably take more than five minutes to suffocate someone, which would definitely NOT be "self defense". Furthermore, a second person striking the victim with a hammer (handle or otherwise) at the same time is without doubt - overkill.. to say the least. This is clearly pre-meditated murder and if you can't see that then you also need your sanity checked. Actually, I already knew you were a psycho, just by looking at your icon picture and name.
ShadowⓋ At least I have the balls to have a icon picture to show~!!!...= /
ShadowⓋ Remember...the case was heard by a jury....they knew it was self defence since Angel had Michael's hand in his mouth and wouldn't let go and his friend was only trying to make him let go and that's how they came up with manslaughter instead of murder 1...I wasn't on the jury and I wasn't the judge either, so no reason to aim your aggression towards me. You have your opinions but that's all they are. As far as my stage name; picture and persona that I use online...that's all they are...go figure...now run along and play with yourself like a good boy away from the adults so you can't bother anyone...Okay sugar~????
He murdered a man, hacked his body to pieces, dumped it in a river and only did 17 years. Yet there are people doing life for Marijuana possession. What the fuck....
GrandmasDay32 you seem to struggle withe the concept of three strikes.
+Fixed Face He should have gotten life
He also poured draino into Angeles mouth too
literally no one is in jail for life for weed.
GrandmasDay32 I know I can't believe he's even out
He's a total creeper narcissist he seems like he has no remorse. I find him disgusting and sad.
Clearly Mr. Alig still has no remorse. There was no issue of self protection; he needs to quit trying to explain away and justify his actions. Sick person who does not belong out in society.
If you knew more about this than a 4 minute clip you would know he does have remorse.
I think he comes off remorseful and he knows you don’t believe him. BUT I think he is sober in this interview, others... not so much
"I don't really remember" ..."oh well I remember he hit him with the wooden end of the hammer not the other end... we poured draino and every other bleachy thing to cover the smell of the body" ... OKAY
Hermione Ganja he remembered...ALLLLL OF A SUDDEN
“He was a young man whose disappearance was not only ignored by the New York police, it was used by intrepid detectives as another trading card, one that they offered to Alig in exchange for him squealing on his mentor, Gatien, whose money and drug misconduct interested them far more than "one of those copycats" everyone hates.
As Angel's brother Johnny tirelessly scoured the streets for his vanished brother, posting signs and interviewing anyone who would talk to him, Alig regaled his friends with a lamentable story of self-defence that both common sense and the autopsy (which revealed Melendez had been murdered, with a hammer, asphyxiation and an injection of Drano) utterly refuted.“
“Freeze didn’t explain why Alig and Angel fought so viciously in the first place: his version had him entering the room when the fight was already in progress. But from the various rumours and unverifiable reports, a more plausible scenario emerges: Angel had already saved $20,000 of his £100,000 target which he kept at Alig’s apartment, along with his stash of drugs. A couple of months earlier, Alig had stolen either $1,000 or $2,000 from Angel’s savings, and Angel had been demanding his money back for some time. When Angel confronted him again, Alig had replied that since he had been staying at the apartment for months without paying shit, he should write it off as his share of the $1,000-a-month rent. Angel had countered that he hadn’t even been given a key and that Alig had better get his money, and quick, or he’d call the DEA and tell them everything that had been going on in Gatien’s clubs. Freeze, who was in the next room, had heard all this and became more than a little anxious.
Alig had been talking to Freeze about killing Angel for some time, but would never have the nerve to do it and, anyway, he was far too reliant on Angel for drugs. But when Angel started first screaming about going to the cops and then beating Alig, Freeze - who resented Angel, but put up with him because Michael wanted him around - got really angry, rushed into the bedroom, grabbed the hammer in the closet and smashed Angel’s head in. After Angel’s death, Alig stole the remaining $18,000, gave some to Freeze and bought some new furniture for the flat, which he then resold to finance his sudden departure to the mid-west - taking the rest of Angel’s belongings, including his green card, with him...
Over the coming months, the respective lawyers will meet their prosecution counterparts, argue and haggle. Angel’s short life and brutal death will be reduced to a bartering chip, flipped back and forth across the table, as the legal teams devise some mutually-acceptable fate for the fallen Gods of Gotham Nightlife. In fact, there’s no alternative.
"In the end," Fenton Bailey says, "that’s how the American justice system operates. It’s not about guilt or innocence. It’s all about cutting a deal.
The Weekend Guardian - April 19 1997“
self defense is one thing, dismemberment is something entirely different. He is free? There are drug dealers doing life! I don't get it.
Its crazy
He cut a deal and ratted on Peter Gatien, a man that owned night clubs and supposedly a drug manufacture/importation/distribution business.
His body language is communicating more than the actual words he uses. He is more sick and twisted than any of us can imagine.
Isaac Howe
Finally someone else who noticed this as well. This guy is a true psychopath!
I agree
17 years was not long enough.
And where the hell is Freeze in all this?!
thisawesomechick19 Freeze went onto college and has a degree helping convicts.
Thanks for posting this. It was interesting to see him after all these years.
it doesn't matter whether he was high or not when he killed angel. you can tell just by this video that Michaels a complete sociopath. He knows exactly what to say in this interview to gain sympothy. his only mistake was talking about how he tried to suffocate angel in such gritty detail. He doesn't realize how that sounds to normal people.
He probably sat in prison rethinking what happened over and over. Of course he has details
@Nukeshi body on ice,bleach, drain o and cut up the body uhhhh................. that might qualify him as a sociopath!
@Nukeshi It was so wrong I just wanted to reply for the record,but I can't believe you would reply to my comment about something you wrote 4 years ago.
How is this person out! He must be serving the powers that are NOT!
wow,the criminal justice system??????
All things considered he looks pretty good for 48.
And having been in prison....and on drugs while in prison.
A life of no manual labour and limited exposure to the sun, will really give you a lift.
+aisey100 well.. he is gay..
+antcawdor that is a very good point.
Considering how many drugs he pumped into his body, yes.
Michael freeze hit Angel with the wood part of the hammer and he meant no bodily harm? Really dude? If I pick up a hammer and I swing it at some on it doesn't matter what part of it I used I mean your ass bodily harm. Hopefully he's sorry for his crime and he can do something productive with his life.
Alig got through this without mentioning drugs. A drug deal gone bad. but no drugs mentioned. Nobody was high. "How did I chop him up? How I did I misjudge my strength? I was not on drugs, apparently." If a murderer can't get honest about his drug problem, then he won't be honest about the murder. Anyone who has truly quit ha been honest about their drugs, so, they can move on. I am just not seeing that with Alig. He at least owes that to his victim. Right now his story has too many holes.
Only 17 years for murder and chopping up a corpse?
How does he deserve to be out of prison?
"I remember dismembering him and placing him into a box,"- Michael Alig.
He is going better with age it seems. Hes much more attractive than in his young days.
ok.. if you thought he was on conscience why would you put it on ice and baking soda?! because that would not declare him dead! and why the need to chop him up!. you knew he was dead.!
How did he last 17 years in prison? Wow every single day thats a long time
Lets put this into factual perspectives people. Crimes of passion like killing someone whos in the process of either trying to kill or rape you usually costs you life if not WAY more time than what Michael got. People who choose fast money life of crimes in inner cities such a drug related crimes as a means to survive get harsher sentences and more time. Even Jeffrey Damer didnt use such sinister brutality with his victims.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion here, but I can say that no one has the right to judge anyone when they may not know exactly what they've gone through in their lives. It's not necessarily "don't judge a book by its cover" but more we have no right to judge because it's not our place to. Most likely none of us here in the comments knew Michael personally so we don't know what he was genuinely like. We don't know what was going on in his head and we don't know what kind of heart he had. Nor do we know 100% what his life was like. Not just during the time he lived in NY, but his whole life. So we have no right to judge when we don't know him, his friends or his family. Something bad may have happened to him in his childhood that led him down this path and this was the end result. I'm not condoning his actions, I'm just saying that some people's opinions are founded based on the hate they feel toward him based of what they've read or seen in documentaries or movies. IMO, that can heavily influence our opinions on people. I'd hope that everyone would take that into consideration, especially considering that he's no longer here to defend himself and so none of us will ever know who he really was at his core.
RIP, Michael
i don't judge no one man but come on seriously.
He talks like a five year old would trying to explain what happened.
This dudes life is a great dosage of “When keeping it Real Gay goes wrong folks...”
Try being a man, still in denial should still be in jail . oh I had blood gushing out of my back It still all about him!
2:03 he had taken Rohypnol............how would you know that he had taken it? Why is some of Alig's 'art work' about Rohypnol.........seems to me Alig has an interest in this drug. Makes sense to me that they drugged him, with the intent of later over powering him and then murdering him, which suggests premeditated murder.
R all the club kids at that time was mixing rohypnol and ecstasy and k together
im sorry he looks pretty good for 50...
not sure how you equate being locked up for years and years with a reason for looking young, prison time will definitely age you quikly... but the rest i agree with
All this patter merchant cares about is himself a typical self indulgent queen who screams for attention all he is known for is being a killer and running some drug party's the guy is a nothing should still be locked up .
true , unfortunately his memoirs will probly sell for a bunch of coin, he won't have to work a day in his life, probably have a ghostwriter write a book for him too lol, kinda disgusting actually
I could write it for him ass hole kills a mate starts some shitty parties , and then gets put in the jail for murder and has his sad ass fucked silly for over 20 years block buster lol
Matt Odlum he looks fabulous for 50.
How random I'm watching a documentary on him and just seen Michael alig died Christmas day 2020!
So when does Angel get a 2nd chance at life?
This man makes Steve Rubell The Former Co Owner of Studio 54 look like a Boy Scout. He really loved that world because in "that' world he was a "Somebody" becuase in the Real World he's a Nobody. He never acknowledged the fact that "nothing lasts forever" and "the party will eventually be over". Another person who was a Sociiopath was Andrew Cunanan and Anna Sorokin/Anna Delvey who convinced the folks of New York that she was an Heiress but in reality she was a fraud who scammed folks most notably New York's Beautiful People out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
So sad. At least he's found him self and he's trying to make a difference.
My feeling is he would have never killed anyone had it not been for drugs. That’s why drugs are so dangerous. It’s like playing Russian roulette.
Edie Russian roulette with all the bullets in the gun.
hell, if you've dealt with legit drug addictions and you been on months at a time bingers you can understand. Alot of people scream socio path but the truth is, you loose composure when you take drugs regularly and you could snap for small shit.
I've been pretty fucking close to cutting some fuckers up.
It's hard to believe what he's saying. Maybe he doesn't remember everything in detail because he was probably drugged when they killed him. He should tell the entire truth. You're free. You're not going back to prison for unloading the whole truth now.
Seeing this and comparing it to interviews back in the late 80's and early 90's..I do think that he is sorry for what he did. He says several times that there is no justification for what they did...it seems that he knows what he did was horribly wrong and he's sorry that it happened. Not that it's an excuse but heavy drugs were a huge part of their life and people do senseless things when they're high. It seems that he's sober and has accepted,owned,and is sorry for murdering Angel.
Pink Rose matter of opinion I guess. no one knows but him
i like his shirt
My big question is why was Freeze's version of events so different than this one
The body the body, is that all Angel was to you, Michael?! He's such a lier and using distance phrases just gives it away even more!
he is coked UP!
can't believe he only got 17 years
Angel must of been an minority black or Hispanic
The truth is he ran out of dope and his roommate wouldn’t give him any so he took it.
how the fuck is he free!!??
Didn't realize he got released... disgusting! Hope karma has paid him back. He doesn't seem to have any remorse.
Where's the rest of it!?
he looks 50 and wash up.
Sad to hear that he's using again. I hope he can somewhat stay out of trouble..
let's all cross our fingers and hope that michael's next victims are some of these youtube commenters
So party monster was based on a true story 😮😮
ya git longer in the caboose for bank robbery
than for killin someone huh...
odd
Wild thing is, he served his time.
Dude is empty.
And now his gone 😞 RIP Michael
Great to see this. I understand system. You can cannibalis a man, eat him, hack up a person. Not taking just this guy who chopped up his drug dealer. There's more out here in us who have done this set free before a man who robbed a store or had drugs. Hideous crimes get you did time. They systemize you. This is a upsetting thing. It should show you what our system is doing. Morals, values out the window. Laws of protecting psychos in.
murder, drugs, psycophath - why this on youtube???????
he says he won't be able to fully pay for what he's done. i beg to differ. only Christ can save you.
this is so cringey
I have no problem with him being released, it's obvious they were high as hell
wow. Your dumb
Alec "You're"
Pats Fan Awesome thanks for correcting my grammar. At least i don't sympathize with a guy who chopped up his drug dealer.
Alec Who's being sympathetic? He's a monster, he did 17 years for it. Obviously they feel he's no longer a threat to society.
It's obvious he is a psychopath. Going around talking about it-wtf man? At least he should sit in his house and not open his mouth about it.
Happy he looks so good. Was expecting to see a sad, bald or balding old man with a pregnant-sized belly and a frown.
The sick part is if he makes enough where he doesn't have to work.dude never has .still kinda sick ppl give him a light.he didn't do anything special.just lie after lie
Thats the reSult of doing too much drugs. Someone eventually gets hurt.
Damn...it sounds like,
( dont front your clients.)
cause they dont want to pay...
Obama signed the world over to me today. So much light
Murdzing is bad, but somebody would have died as well...and as a Tangent, Gitsy died, soon after this club land tragedy unfolded...her best friend, in prison indefinetly...
Karma caught up with him
POS TO THE ULTIMATE DEGREE
He is a MONSTER
God show him the way.
Wow!
He is still so handsome! I really hope he keeps it together and does something meaningful with his life.
i juust wanna club brudda
i wonder...now what? what he gonna do next? he´s still a smart person and young enough to to turn his life around...the question is what?
His options are pretty limited with a felony murder charge on his record.
Not really. He can become a politician
Cassandra Williams damn right, look at bush
He sounds truly sincere in showing remorse. I hope he is able to payback society by doing good works and being a good citizen. Blessings to Michael Alig.
I would still date him even for a ex con murderous Klub kid
Drug dealers have this Tyrant-Dictative attitude frequently...I say he was justified...Would Melendez have killed Alig if Mike were @ the apartment alone ? @some point I would argue yes, Angel would have killed him anyway...mostly over a bruised ego.
Strobe
He is remorseful... and not to mention, he has to live with the fact and face what he did to angel every day. I am sure that, they will be keeping some type of eye on him. But lets think of something here people, there are murderist, rapists, and all other types of bad people that are let out of jail/prison every day. Hmmm good point hu? Also not to long ago they were talking about granting parole to charles Manson. I would bemore worried about that crazy killer than michael alig here. Im not saying what he did was not bad. Because indeed it was horrendous. But he will be judge!!!! I believe in judgements after your gone very much.
I judt hope that he can keep his nose clean and stay out of trouble. But lets remember also the media is good at fictifizing stories. And they are so good at it, they could make even the nicest person look like a monster.
This kid needs someone behind him that will smack him in the head and point him in the right direction if he begins to take the wrong road agsin. Here is hope to u michael, I have faith.
Ashley Minor your batshit crazy
Sid vicious would love this party monster. They were both extremely high so give them a break 😜😜😜😜😜😲
well that is that !!¡》 hope he stays ok🤔🙃
I hope he can live a good life now tht he has tht on his back..
he Will be judged for the rest of his life..
He did his time let him live his life... Good luck.... 💋💋
...
No need for homophobic slurs he did his time he is clean so back off
Not anymore. Just got arrested for drug possession again
I miss Michael
He's pretty cute.
What he did changed him. And I do believe he changed and feels regret over it.
