I really enjoyed this video of Nikko. He is, indeed, someone who never should have been released from prison. The only good thing he probably ever did was to plead no contest and received the death penalty like he wanted. I'll never understand how a woman could fall in love with someone on death row, or even someone in prison for life. I hope her family has asked her to seek mental health evaluations, but I highly doubt that happened.
I think some women like the control of the relationship. This person who would kill someone for looming at him wants ME in his life, along with the man is locked up and is surrounded by men. that's what I THINK anyways. who knows!
Guy never stood a chance. Failed parenting, poor schooling, failed judicial system, dude was rejected by a mental hospital?!??!! This kind of evil was molded by failure.
So true. Many people unfortunately failed him and there lack of faith for him to be helped made a crucial difference in his way of life including what he felt about who he was. Very sad deadly way to live
I was born into a family similar to Nikko. Abused in every way from 4 - 17yrs old. I was in and out of the system up to 24yrs old. I was an angry person up until 31. At 31 I moved away from my immediate family to another country. Got counseling. At 53, I am still healing. My heart breaks for all the families that was affected by his violent act as well as for Nikko.
Relish in your Victory, it's over, it was over long ago, best decision you made was to move away from the traitors, your family that where monsters. Mission Complete
My son's mother had a similar upbringing her mom never stopped partying an so all 5 of her kids did the same an I had a kid with the oldest daughter. She was also in and out of foster care would run away the whole 9 yards. Shes on her way back to prison I think for the 2nd or third time. I really do feel bad for what I put her through tho. I cheated on her with her sister an other women an put here through hell while she was carrying out child. Then after the baby was born we went back to partying an it got really bad. I ended up stopping a few years later an she never did as a end result she's going back to prison. I really do feel bad but she made her bed she can lay in it.
@@coffeepeachesplans there absolutely is early release. A judge sentences someone to 10years but the individual gets out before his full sentence due to "good behavior" or a parole hearing decides to let the person out early, that's early release!
@@xtreamcj3547 it is not early release they are considered to had earned their good time credits and it counts for serving the sentence but also not all are eligible and there's a lot of ways to earn good time like working
Did you say that in his face if you stand in front of him bro?i think no!say nothing only why you are anonym because Internet!think about What you say before you say anything!
Despite what Nikko Jenkins did, his parents birthed him into a dangerous and volatile situation where the violence and poverty he was exposed to left him with the understanding that relationships between people consisted of a predator and prey. Thus, he came to the belief that the only way he could ensure he could never be victimised again or made to go without resources was by becoming the most ruthless and aggressive predator that hurts others before he can be hurt and takes from others before they can take from him. Behind that sneering, indignant veneer is a tortured kid turned cold to the world. No child should ever have to mop up human blood.
It's not just the people who crossed his path that were failed. He and his family were failed also. Prior to about 1960, we could hospitalize people with serious mental issues for long periods of time. It wasn't a great system there was lots of abuse and neglect, but people had a small chance of getting treated. Now that we as a country have chosen to treat many mentally ill people as criminals their chances for treatment are even less.
@@elizabethsohler6516 They knew VERY WELL what they did smh..Stop blaming mental health or upbringing , ..I had a very abusive upbringing but CHOSE to be a good person.
@@michelrood2966 some people are more resilient than others and no one’s experience with abuse is identical. It is well researched and documented that violent and neglectful environments lead to mental illness and violent behavior in many cases. Just because you were able to overcome your upbringing doesn’t mean everyone can. Of course it doesn’t mean people who are violent and destructive should be free to commit crimes. But it helps us to understand what leads people to violent behavior so we can advocate for better systems.
@@michelrood2966 any time someone describes their own self as a Good Person, or sings their own praises about their accomplishments, I’m suspicious. Have some humility.
@@superflygirl My guess is that you are still a child, with little life experience. Of course one has to be positive about himself. Nothing wrong with that. Do you even know what ive been through?

Released from solitary confinement in a federal prison 10 years early and without parole. WITHOUT PAROLE or any monitoring. How did that even happen?!?!
@@Earthbound369 he's not referencing the verb of parole meaning early release. He's referencing the noun parole with is the after parole release program that keeps paroled offenders accountable to certain terms of parole, i.e. drugbtesting, constant communication, employment requirements, avoiding other convicts, and not committing crimes, all of which would violate his parole program and could result in having to return to prison to finish the remainder of his sentence. Him not having parole post release means there were no stringent conditions designed to prevent recidivism placed on him. Release a full decade early would absolutely warrant these programs for him.
He wasn't released from Federal Prison. He was released from state prison. He was paroled. What do you think "monitoring" means? They aren't following him around holding his hand.
@@PinkPisces this isn't a gender issue, don't try to make one out of it. His sister killed the second victim after niko shot him, his mother supplied them with ammunition. His sister and female cousin lured the first victim in. Women can be predators as well.
this case really breaks my heart with how many times he asked for help and it went unheard. It doesn’t absolve him of personal responsibility, but the constant systemic failures throughout his life can’t be ignored. The fact that he spent most of his prison time in solitary confinement to be released straight back into society baffles me every time I hear about him. These murders could have absolutely been prevented. A tragedy all around.
Well said. The prison system is a mass production line type of commercial processing establishment rather than a "rehabilitation" service since being privatised, and in dire need of reform and revision. Its all the same in the western nations linked with the UN where it all sources from. Peace from Oz.
@@beklerken1 yes, prisons should 100% include rehabilitation yet many people see it only as a tool of punishment. even if you don’t have any empathy towards prisoners, it’s illogical to me! We are releasing people back to society expecting them to suddenly be “good” citizens without any tools/education to understand their own traumas and decisions or disorders etc etc. but it makes profit, so of course it is no mystery as to why we are like this. Thanks for understanding my thought process and explaining it more eloquently!
Again, I’ve seen him in several videos but not once knew of his mental history, isolation while imprisoned and lack of any sort of treatment. I can’t understand why he was released in the first place. I appreciate your research and commentary.
@Frank Skoda-Simmons Empathy is a good thing. If not you'd release ppl with out caring what the outcome is for innocent ppl, because you can't empathise with innocent lives. Its because the system lacks empathy, psychos are released with the public in danger. He should have been treated from the beginning, because if he had treatment the lives of the ppl he took could have been prevented. They knew he was a danger and he was still released, thats not empathy thats incompetence
@Death at Intervals unfortunately this is exactly right. Some people are beyond help and should be dealt with so that the general public are safer. This man doesnt need therapy, he needs a rope.
Prison doesn't rehabilitate. You can't treat ppl like caged animals with no rehab intervention and then release them into society and expect them to behave like anything other than what you helped perpetuate, a caged animal.
But he did need help, I’m not making any justifications for his wrong doing , but he and his wife asked for help repeatedly and it was not given so the state is equally as responsible for his crimes because if they never let him out it wouldn’t of ever happened
Haha yup, you got that right. Nikko nothing but a A stain on my underwear. I say let the relatives of the victims do what ever it is that they want to do to him.
The US prison system is a mystery to me. I realise it varies from state to state but sentences are so incongruent. Thanks so much for bringing us the cases you do. Have only recently discovered your channel & have been binging. Much appreciated, well done.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The US prison system is privatized, and the majority of major prisons are owned by the same families than owned plantations. While Canada keeps most major laws and their respective punishments consistent across the country, America has different laws state by state and literally there’s no “max/min” regulations for most crimes that must be followed - so, you get a judge on the prison’s payroll… you’re going to see it in the number of convictions. In most states, prisons are literally overflowing. And all the wrong people are cashing in on it. It’s actually a wild rabbit hole
I am a native Texan and I still live here. The US prison system is a mystery to me, too. It doesn't make sense to lock people up with no rehabilitation. Yet that is what happens. Our system is for punishment only. Most people come out learning how to be a better criminal with more connections. How does that serve and or protect our citizens? Having a for profit system only adds to the problem. No changes will take place because there's no insensitive. The more people incarcerated the more the private prison system profits.
The state wants to crucify him and distance themselves after the fact when they're the ones who let him out in the first place. They get someone they know struggles with multiple mental illnesses, a criminal family tree, and throws him in solitary with ZERO treatment, and then opens the gate and lets him out (early) with no parole or supervision whatsoever. Gee, I wonder what could've gone so wrong in this perplexing situation!
The system (Dr. Frankenstein) that let him out early When he and his wife ask for the pyschiatric help he needed created this monster and continue to do so.
Yup which is why more yt people are serial killers, more than 82%. It's obvious both sides of his family has yt ancestry. But you don't want to talk about that. So you use one isolated super psycho and put everyone in a box.
America prisons are privatized. They intentionally don’t have any plans of “rehabilitation” or “correction”. They are there for punishment, that’s why their reoffend rate is through the roof. They are making bank off treating criminals like animals
Gives me chills. His first interrogation sounds exactly like my best friend talks. Exact same mannerisms. Talks at you. Very direct and matter of fact. He's going to be a lifer. Only made it a week after doing five years.
I feel like he should have been in the hospital and not released in a mental facility that can give him a diagnosis evaluate his condition and maybe change his life around to where he could at least get back in the hospital
And the justice system absolutely doesn't care. I don't understand why they're isn't some kind of reform, I bet if there was some kind of help, some counseling, therapy, maybe even someone to act like they care, it possibly cld be a better turn out. I know some are beyond help but not all, but that's how they're treated
I think it's because of the antisocial personality disorder. People with that problem only get help if it is court ordered or for secondary issues like addiction or depression/bipolar disorder etc.
@@jackchop1576 huh??? He’s the one who asked for help! Were you not listening??? And it’s weird as hell that several physicians diagnosed him with schizoaffective disorder, and only one diagnosed him with ASPD, but somehow that’s the only one you heard. 🙄
I can’t believe that man asked for help and got nothing that falls back on the system they new he had a problem and still let him go I pray for the family’s that lost there loved ones I also pray for him
You should do his sister Erica next. She got sentenced to 60-100 years for murder and walked out of court smiling and waving like Miss America. I know they have one decent sibling though.
Also, psychology 101 : If someone keeps mentioning a quirk/issue/virtue about themselves, it's not true. Example : Someone that keeps saying, "I'm a nice person." "I'm an honest person." "I would never hurt anyone." "I never lie." "My only weakness is that I care too much." Usually if people keep trying to plant these seeds, there's a reason. And it's not honesty.
His life was fcked from the get go However when he killed them people he knew what he was doing and he’s right where he belongs. His story’s sad but you can’t kill all them people just because you’re pissed off that nobody treated you right through your life!!
Some people do better with the structure that prison provides (when done properly). He could have led a protective life in prison for the rest of his life, if they hadn’t just thrown him into solitary. Imagine the torture it must have been for him, to be schizophrenic and in that disgusting cell 23 hours a day?! The blood is not entirely on his hands after being released, the warning was there. Not only did his family fail him, the system did too.
Trust me, you prefer solitary confinement when your locked up. You think he's incarcerated with Saints and Bishops? Not everyone dislikes solitude. Some of us actually prefer it. More peace that way. It wasn't the solitary confinement. It wasn't his Parents. It was his choices! Quit letting people off the hook. Everyone on the planet has went through something growing up. We don't go murdering 4 innocent people in 4 days.
@@SirHumphrey498 ummm what??? Do some research on his life... it began with his family... he was failed at every avenue in his life... do to the negligence of my city and state.... many lives were lost....
If mental health was referred to as "Brain Health" we would aid in ridding the stigma. It is rare, even while incarcerated that medications can be forced as a court order is necessary. American jails and prisons are full of Nikko Jenkins.
Literally everyone is mentally ill. As a matter of fact to deny it, proves it. What im trying to say is, why do we willingly exacerbate that fact? Oh yea. We are all so insane , that so are our laws. Interesting isnt it? Not really , things will get vetter once we forget our instinct and think logically
Why Nebraska would ever have released this guy is a bewildering mystery. Absolutely mind blowing. Also, I am not a gung ho death penalty guy, but if there is a good case to be made for using it, I'd say Nikko's case qualifies. At least then the department of corrections will never again have the chance to make such a bone headed decision as they did the first time.
Let me inform you of something about Nebraska and Iowa you will do more time in Iowa for marijuana then you will for raping a child and it's almost the same like that in Nebraska both States basically release people who they know who's going to reoffend and come back it's all of money thing
Well they helped create what he was. You don't take a child with that many mental health issues and put him in solitary confinement for 8yrs and then release him straight to the streets. They bare a lot of the responsibility for the ppl that lost their lives. He should've been somewhere getting the help he needed.
He walked in the courtroom like he owned the joint. I can’t blame the 2 family members not having anything to do with that family. I would be changing my last name ASAP
We can all so quick to judge. If any one of us was born into the same conditions, was verbally, physically and sexually abused and never given the correct treatment or counselling, we'd have ended up the same way!
You may be right, but there are people that have pulled themselves out of their terrible situation and have turned things around. Unfortunately, there are many that slip through the cracks or are outrightly ignored when aksing for help; and still, there are those who rise above and are better for it. Not all who are subject to these conditions turn into Nikko, we as a community need to come together for these kids, hold people accountable for their poor treatment. It's not okay to sit idly by. This is a community problem and until it is addressed as so, no changes will be made. 🙏
@@joshuajones4854 You're missing my point. He had it bad, way, way worse than most and he ended up a product of his environment. Yes, 'others' do lots of things including great things but we're not talking about them here my friend. Respectfully.
@@catbishop27 Of course not, if everyone in a bad situation turned out like Nikko then the world would be a lot more grim. I'm just saying that, in this particular case, the odds were very much stacked against him. We're all products of our own environments, we have choice but your formative years are so important and Nikko's sound horrific, so much so it shaped who he became.
A cycle of poverty, crime, addiction and abuse, compounded by failing mental health care systems and a prisom system with zero focus on rehabilitation creates a perfect storm for this kind of violence.
In all seriousness, I get anxiety just hearing about isolation. Granted, I've suffered from depression, anxiety and addiction since I was a teenager. And like you said, prisoners are often mentally ill before incarceration... not only is isolation a severe punishment - it becomes a punishment for anyone around said inmate after the fact.
Unfortunately to protect society from dangerous humans behaviour like this one the law takes very harsh punishment’s by the way how is your addiction going are u on top of it? Ninachkah

@@mariadasilva863..and btw I completely agree that ravenous POS like this guy deserves the worst most inhumane punishment there is. What scares me is how it pushes a crazed, violent criminal who entirely lacks empathy, even further over the edge. THEN released among inmates and guards who become targets. Or even worse, released back into society.
This man and his family are well known here. I had conversated with him briefly back in the past.He is one of a kind and he is very, very unforgettable.🤔
Well, for one thing, just as others have said-he didn’t stand a chance from the beginning. Not only does he come from a “career criminal” family, he is chock full of mental illness. It used to piss me off to no end when I’d hear “ just ignore him, he’s malingering” “he’s making it up” “he’s full of crap”. But let me tell you, those eyes are EMPTY, nobody sane is home! Every one of the marks on his face he did to himself with contraband he got off staff. Nowadays he has added a “nose ring” by tattooing one on and he also has black lip liner. He still talks to his serpent friend and even tried to carve his manhood to look like his friend. He has also managed to pierce his member repeatedly by getting a hold of staff badges. All of that aside, this man TOLD NDCS he was going to commit murder and they thought he was full of it…..and look what he did! Our in-house psychs said he was making it all up, yet an outside psych (who has nothing to gain) said he wouldn’t want to run into this dude in a dark alley, he’s a very scary guy and needs to remain committed somewhere.
One way prison guards could keep all inmates behaving properly would be to threaten them with "do you want to be cell mates with Jenkins?"! Yep, that would DEF cause all (all with properly working 🧠that is) to stand down/&stop whatever crap they're trying to get away with
@@jeneca3580 it’s messed up the worse off a family is, the more kids they have🤦♀️go figure☹️ I’m also surprised these type of ppl actually get married. I know so many “normal” ppl that don’t even marry and yet these kind of ppl do! It’s always seemed so strange to me lol I don’t know maybe there is some kind of benefit to it.
@@taylorinvancouver2017 It’s not that hard to figure out. Poor people are less likely to have any medical insurance, which means women can’t afford birth control prescriptions out of pocket. They also can’t afford to get their tubes tied out of pocket. Condoms cost money, and a lot of men just won’t wear one, let alone pay for them. And poor women are a lot more likely statistically to turn to stripping or sex work because that’s the only job that pays enough to support herself and her kids without going on welfare, since the broke father(s) are probably paying as little child support as they can get away with. And lastly, being poor is the ultimate depressant. Your life fcking sucks, and no matter how hard you try, how hard you _work,_ it’s like running on a treadmill. You just can’t get ahead. The opportunities aren’t there, but the credit card debt sure is. You’re miserable. And frankly, it’s only human to seek comfort in someone’s loving arms. Anything to distract you from how hopeless everything seems.
@@CharlieApples or to seek comfort/ ANY feelings of relief (if even for a few minutes) with drugs. You're right, it IS a viscous cycle. And seriously.. how can a country so f'n rich have SO many poor, addicted, mentally ill, citizens? Our country absolutely has the resources.. why aren't they making any actual USEFUL (& longterm) changes to not only work on the current issues, but even more importantly, make changes to break the damn cycle & at least give the next generation a chance.. Gee.. it's almost as if it's not 'by chance' that so many of our citizens are currently f*cked 🧐
When he got on the floor, like a child his voice broke and he said “I just wanted help from you guys“. That was too much for me. If anyone wants to make a snarky remark about him being a murdering monster who we should have no empathy for keep that same energy for the entire judicial system. Ask yourself if the system was functioning ethically, morally, consciously, and fairly would those murders even have taken place? They knew exactly what was going to happen.
He doesn't look angry, threatening, depressed or disturbed during the interrogation. He is actually a charming dude, speaks calmly and convincingly. I now understand why he was released early from jail.
I don’t agree with everyone that this man only committed these crimes because he was “failed by the mental health system“. That seems to be everybody’s pre-fab excuse for any unhinged, violent maniac. More people than you realize go through the same that this man has been through (and more) and don’t end up committing horrible crimes. Rather, most of them take it out on themselves
I find this case to be more sad than angering. Meaning, I feel sad for him. This man wasn't given even half a chance from the day he was born. He was repeatedly traumstized and has been repeatedly failed at every turn. And I get that inmates in prison have to be kept safe from other dangerous inmates, but it's unacceptable and disgusting to keep someone in solitary confinement for a lengthy amount of time, especially in the conditions that our prison system allows. There's absolutely no question at this point about what it does to people. We know it effs them up. And to take someone like nikko, who was in desperate need of intervention, care, and rehabilitation efforts, and deprive him of those things but instead putting him in total solitude for so long....as far as I'm concerned, everything that followed after his release is just as much on the shoulders of the people in charge at the prison as it is on him. Their choices and deliberate actions helped kill those 4 people and take them from their families.
There should be something we could do to keep the prison/system accountable for letting dangerous people like him out. Listening to the way that was done is absolutely insane. Who was in charge? He had been in Solitary confinement all that time and gets let out to prey on the public? Can't tell me they didn't know how dangerous he was. I bet the guards were shaking their heads when they heard that! Sometimes i think they get sick of dealing with these people and really don't care as long as they don't have to put up with them. That woman is attention seeker...i bet she'd hide if he got out. Really she needs help!
How about we start holding these absolute deadbeat parents accountable instead? Killers aren't born, they're created via abuse, neglect and mistreatment by the ones who were too irresponsible to have children and undeserving of the privilege of parenthood. Despite what Nikko Jenkins did, his parents birthed him into a dangerous and volatile situation where he was brought up with the understanding that the only way he could ensure he could never be victimised again was by becoming the most ruthless and aggressive predator that hurts others before he can be hurt. All they had to do was take responsibility for their child and they failed him at every opportunity.
I wrote before I watched your comprehensive video. Ive studied his case. You did a fantastic job- amazing! Because the court would not classify him as insane
Niko is very intelligent but he didn't have a chance either. His family all felons. His mom just got out. The way he talks is not stupid it's intelligent. But something ain't right in his head. Good looking guy who could of been anything but this. Sad his family has that history
So this is what his sister meant when she said, “he’s their Frankenstein.” He is a creation of terrible upbringing and systems that have failed him. Nonetheless, he still is a monster.
I have said this my whole life... Most people in jail and prison have mental conditions,so what does the justice system do? They throw them all in the same cage to let them act like animals! Instead of mandatory medication and a real re-education programs. But they allow them to fight, steal and rape each other in jail! How pathetic!!
The system absolutely failed him from day one. No excuse for the horrific events, but I would like to see how his life would have turned out with the right care as a child, a mental health treatment plan, and the proper medications. Really heartbreaking.
I agree. Nikko never had any chance. He was especially violent and nothing really excuses the random murders, but the entire system should have their feet held to the fire for this whole mess.
For those saying “I feel sorry for him” also feel sorry for people like Ted Bundy and these other serial killers and mass shooters who also had “troubled childhoods”
Yes. It's called compassion. You can understand that someone did horrible, evil things and also discuss the evil done to the person. Crybaby right wingers like you want emotional satisfaction from every fucking thing, grow up, this is real life.
I mean...I do feel sorry for people who have truly abusive upbringings? I'm not sure why that would go away just because they become villains. You can see them as having an abjectly negative impact on the world and also be sad because if they had been nurtured, if their family had been nurtured, if they were given room to grow...the world would have been better for everyone. If we can not face the role that we, as a society, play in creating these monsters, then we absolutely can not do anything to prevent making more of them.
It’s always everyone else’s fault and not their’s. He sounded intelligent and coherent when he was speaking to the detectives and his letter did not appear to be written by someone that did not know what he was doing. I only feel bad for the victims. And that woman dating him has serious issues; she knows damn well if he got out, he’d probably eliminate her too. What a moron. Is she that needy and lonely?
I agree with you. Well, I'm not sure about the woman since I only saw the short clip of her. However, he was an adult and responsible for his actions. He could have checked himself into a psychiatric hospital as soon as he was released if he was really asking for help.
Unfortunately here in America, the system ignores dysfunctional families and the Children born to Drug and Alcohol addicted mothers and Fathers grow up in Horrible conditions !!!. PEOPLE THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES SHOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN.
I’ve seen a few on this guy, wow; everyone is spot on- he never EVER had a chance. He even went so far as to ASK for help & got nothing, no support or tracking to speak of. .....HOWEVER, he DOES walk tf into court like he’s in his own personal rap video, 🕶 does he not? 😳 yikes
Yep, he was screwed from the start. And I noticed that his crimes started straight after he was molested by his cousin. With an upbringing and family like that, with little or no support from them and then the government ignores his pleas for help…he was always doomed after that. It’s very sad, for the people he hurt and killed and for his wasted life too. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🥺😭
i watched that part so many times that i lost track, lol! i was like, is THIS the same dude who wrote that letter BEGGING anyone to just help him?!? big yikes 🤨🥴
Usually I see every one being mean and saying nasty stuff. I'm so glad someone took the time to explain how he got this way. I'm sorry for the people he hurt. It could have been avoided.
@@guysolis5843 it was inevitable. Even with medication and counseling he would have killed. It only would have postpone the murders and the victims would have been Different maybe even more people. There's no helping evil like him.

Honestly I feel he is not at all the most evil criminal. He was disturbingly troubled since birth, he never had a chance to be anything other than what society made him. Yes, he did horrible things and deserves prison, but in no way is he the most evil person
Anyone, in the justice system, that was exposed to this man, and decided to turn a deaf ear and blind eye to his mental issues has all of these peoples' blood in their hands. These homicide detectives deserve the worst that can possibly happen to them because they manipulated this man when he was out of his mind. Eff the self serving cops. Eff the justice system. Sorry you never got the help you needed Nikko. 😔 Sorry for the victims that had to pay the the price for the negligence of the justice system.
No question schizophrenic is genetic. It is also deteriorating as one ages. He was doomed from birth. Why would any woman have kids with someone who has mental illness is just a mystery.
I just found your CZcams channel and I am extremely impressed with your research on background the accuracy of your interpretations without all the bullshyte behavioral analysis and opinion.... A solid and fair and unbiased evaluation I love you 😉😎
And that about says it all. In the UK there is a very big failure in the justice dept, there seems to be more justice for offenders than the innocent public, killers are released to kill again, it does not get much worse than that.
What a beautiful, thought out song for his love. She isn't right. . He never had a chance, and is CLEARLY living in a parallel universe. It's tragic his mental issue were not addressed prior to all of this. Spending most of his life (foundation years) in prison must be incredibly hard to overcome, even if you have a level head and support It must had been his normal, no support, no trust, just run. He deserves to be where he is, I don't see him ever responsible, or empathetic for his actions. Very sad all the way around.
Nothing sad about it. The senseless murder victims families are the only ones that warrant sadness as you say about it. Nothing at all sad about his life and the choices he made. He can rot in hell where he wants to be anyway. Good riddance
From knowing about him I know that he is smooth and has game. Woman fall for this guy because of what he says. Regardless if he did what he did and where he is now. Nikko is elegant and smooth like silk.
From a justice point of view. the most regrettable thing is that nobody from the penal system was brought to justice. Make no mistake, the state forged this monster when he was asking for help.
77% of 18 years in solitary confinement. Let that sink in people. With no mental health help or anything. Shall I say again for the people who didn't hear the first time. 💔
Life is what you make ..Even if you grew up in poverty and Alcoholic parents I'm a good example and I was a 4.time felon I changed my life thanks be to God.🙏
Wow. That Woman identified that he is a Manipulator but fail to realize that she was Manipulated. SAD. She probably had some threats in her life and having him on her side gave her some sense of Security.
You mean to tell me… ignoring a child exhibiting early stages of schizophrenia, not addressing it during his prison stay, exacerbating the illness with months in solitary isn’t the proper way the “greatest country on earth” should treat its citizens? Addressing peoples mental illnesses doesn’t seem humane,… maybe it’s worse for society
I really enjoyed this video of Nikko. He is, indeed, someone who never should have been released from prison. The only good thing he probably ever did was to plead no contest and received the death penalty like he wanted. I'll never understand how a woman could fall in love with someone on death row, or even someone in prison for life. I hope her family has asked her to seek mental health evaluations, but I highly doubt that happened.
Lots of women out there who seek out the worst of the worst inmates for romantic pursuit... but that pathology requires a video all in itself

It’s un fathomable 😵💫🫣😬
Humanity. It’s hard. Being locked up like that, then what he’s been found guilty of.
I think some women like the control of the relationship. This person who would kill someone for looming at him wants ME in his life, along with the man is locked up and is surrounded by men. that's what I THINK anyways. who knows!
Guy never stood a chance. Failed parenting, poor schooling, failed judicial system, dude was rejected by a mental hospital?!??!! This kind of evil was molded by failure.
What about the rest of his family?
So true. Many people unfortunately failed him and there lack of faith for him to be helped made a crucial difference in his way of life including what he felt about who he was. Very sad deadly way to live
You're so right the system failed him his family failed him it's a Damm shame that the jail's and prison never even gave this man a fighting chance.
@@marknelson3672 stop making excuses for him

I was born into a family similar to Nikko.
Abused in every way from 4 - 17yrs old.
I was in and out of the system up to 24yrs old.
I was an angry person up until 31.
At 31 I moved away from my immediate family to another country.
Got counseling.
At 53, I am still healing.
My heart breaks for all the families that was affected by his violent act as well as for Nikko.
Good for you. Abuse and trauma is so hard to heal from...let alone that level of repeated trauma.
Relish in your Victory, it's over, it was over long ago, best decision you made was to move away from the traitors, your family that where monsters.
Mission Complete
My son's mother had a similar upbringing her mom never stopped partying an so all 5 of her kids did the same an I had a kid with the oldest daughter. She was also in and out of foster care would run away the whole 9 yards. Shes on her way back to prison I think for the 2nd or third time. I really do feel bad for what I put her through tho. I cheated on her with her sister an other women an put here through hell while she was carrying out child. Then after the baby was born we went back to partying an it got really bad. I ended up stopping a few years later an she never did as a end result she's going back to prison. I really do feel bad but she made her bed she can lay in it.
My heart goes out to you 💖
Thanks for surviving but every1 can
What really needs to be talked about is that he only served half of his sentence. The DA and Judge are also responsible for the deaths of his rampage
People either serve or not there no such thing as early release
@@coffeepeachesplans there absolutely is early release. A judge sentences someone to 10years but the individual gets out before his full sentence due to "good behavior" or a parole hearing decides to let the person out early, that's early release!
@@xtreamcj3547 it is not early release they are considered to had earned their good time credits and it counts for serving the sentence but also not all are eligible and there's a lot of ways to earn good time like working

@@reneradschun8781 Are You civil?
Think before you respond.
@@rustymebane8265 Right? Did he even challenge the argument? Like, stick to the topic bro, Am I right or what?
Despite what Nikko Jenkins did, his parents birthed him into a dangerous and volatile situation where the violence and poverty he was exposed to left him with the understanding that relationships between people consisted of a predator and prey. Thus, he came to the belief that the only way he could ensure he could never be victimised again or made to go without resources was by becoming the most ruthless and aggressive predator that hurts others before he can be hurt and takes from others before they can take from him.
Behind that sneering, indignant veneer is a tortured kid turned cold to the world. No child should ever have to mop up human blood.
And the cycle continues
And he never wanted better
His life was absolutely over before it even started. This guy needed help badly. Heartfelt feelings for the people who happened to cross his path.
It's not just the people who crossed his path that were failed. He and his family were failed also. Prior to about 1960, we could hospitalize people with serious mental issues for long periods of time. It wasn't a great system there was lots of abuse and neglect, but people had a small chance of getting treated. Now that we as a country have chosen to treat many mentally ill people as criminals their chances for treatment are even less.
@@elizabethsohler6516 They knew VERY WELL what they did smh..Stop blaming mental health or upbringing , ..I had a very abusive upbringing but CHOSE to be a good person.
@@michelrood2966 some people are more resilient than others and no one’s experience with abuse is identical. It is well researched and documented that violent and neglectful environments lead to mental illness and violent behavior in many cases. Just because you were able to overcome your upbringing doesn’t mean everyone can. Of course it doesn’t mean people who are violent and destructive should be free to commit crimes. But it helps us to understand what leads people to violent behavior so we can advocate for better systems.

This right here is why I stay strapped. 3 of those victims didn’t have anything to do with him. Just killed for nothing.

Chances of being shot by a stranger is much lower than getting killed by your own firearm.
@@Gilsworthlol not in omaha
Released from solitary confinement in a federal prison 10 years early and without parole. WITHOUT PAROLE or any monitoring. How did that even happen?!?!
LD : Yes simply scandalous. And no one held accountable for what he did after his release....Shitty justice system all the way.
He served his full sentences.
Parole is for early release.
@@Earthbound369 he's not referencing the verb of parole meaning early release. He's referencing the noun parole with is the after parole release program that keeps paroled offenders accountable to certain terms of parole, i.e. drugbtesting, constant communication, employment requirements, avoiding other convicts, and not committing crimes, all of which would violate his parole program and could result in having to return to prison to finish the remainder of his sentence. Him not having parole post release means there were no stringent conditions designed to prevent recidivism placed on him. Release a full decade early would absolutely warrant these programs for him.
He wasn't released from Federal Prison. He was released from state prison. He was paroled. What do you think "monitoring" means? They aren't following him around holding his hand.
Federal prison doesn’t have parole. You serve 85% and you’re eligible for release.
Nikko's mother and sisters are responsible for everything. They are well known here in Omaha for all kinds of criminal activities.
Facts!!!
Oh they are the ones her a responsible lmfao not him tho he's a good egg
Despite their reputation they are attractive women and I'm sure they'll be pumping out more kids.
@@PinkPisces this isn't a gender issue, don't try to make one out of it. His sister killed the second victim after niko shot him, his mother supplied them with ammunition. His sister and female cousin lured the first victim in. Women can be predators as well.
Wow police never did nothing?
this case really breaks my heart with how many times he asked for help and it went unheard. It doesn’t absolve him of personal responsibility, but the constant systemic failures throughout his life can’t be ignored. The fact that he spent most of his prison time in solitary confinement to be released straight back into society baffles me every time I hear about him. These murders could have absolutely been prevented. A tragedy all around.
I agree 💯
Don't you know? Solitary makes pipo better.
Well said. The prison system is a mass production line type of commercial processing establishment rather than a "rehabilitation" service since being privatised, and in dire need of reform and revision. Its all the same in the western nations linked with the UN where it all sources from. Peace from Oz.
You feel badly for someone who has his face covered in tattoos? No doubt you were abused by you father and are now going through life alone.
@@beklerken1 yes, prisons should 100% include rehabilitation yet many people see it only as a tool of punishment. even if you don’t have any empathy towards prisoners, it’s illogical to me! We are releasing people back to society expecting them to suddenly be “good” citizens without any tools/education to understand their own traumas and decisions or disorders etc etc. but it makes profit, so of course it is no mystery as to why we are like this. Thanks for understanding my thought process and explaining it more eloquently!
If this dude can find love no one can't
Again, I’ve seen him in several videos but not once knew of his mental history, isolation while imprisoned and lack of any sort of treatment. I can’t understand why he was released in the first place. I appreciate your research and commentary.
@Frank Skoda-Simmons Empathy is a good thing. If not you'd release ppl with out caring what the outcome is for innocent ppl, because you can't empathise with innocent lives. Its because the system lacks empathy, psychos are released with the public in danger. He should have been treated from the beginning, because if he had treatment the lives of the ppl he took could have been prevented. They knew he was a danger and he was still released, thats not empathy thats incompetence
@@sizah185 empathy is good with people who want to be reached. You think Charles Manson could have been rehabbed and then put back on the streets?
@Death at Intervals unfortunately this is exactly right. Some people are beyond help and should be dealt with so that the general public are safer. This man doesnt need therapy, he needs a rope.
Sounds like that was the treatment maybe it just didn't work
Prison doesn't rehabilitate. You can't treat ppl like caged animals with no rehab intervention and then release them into society and expect them to behave like anything other than what you helped perpetuate, a caged animal.
For those saying "oh he just needed help" I guarantee if that man showed up at your house you wouldn't say that, if you can say anything at all.
The point is he needed psychological and psychiatric help and on medication and not released
him showing up at your house, still doesnt negate the fact he needed help. GThese murders could of been prevented. This happens so many times
But he did need help, I’m not making any justifications for his wrong doing , but he and his wife asked for help repeatedly and it was not given so the state is equally as responsible for his crimes because if they never let him out it wouldn’t of ever happened
Therealcountry910 he needed psychiatric help in and out of prison, it doesn't matter if he shows up at anyone's house. Your logic of life needs help.
Haha yup, you got that right. Nikko nothing but a A stain on my underwear. I say let the relatives of the victims do what ever it is that they want to do to him.
The US prison system is a mystery to me. I realise it varies from state to state but sentences are so incongruent. Thanks so much for bringing us the cases you do. Have only recently discovered your channel & have been binging. Much appreciated, well done.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you and welcome aboard!🙏
The US prison system is privatized, and the majority of major prisons are owned by the same families than owned plantations. While Canada keeps most major laws and their respective punishments consistent across the country, America has different laws state by state and literally there’s no “max/min” regulations for most crimes that must be followed - so, you get a judge on the prison’s payroll… you’re going to see it in the number of convictions.
In most states, prisons are literally overflowing. And all the wrong people are cashing in on it. It’s actually a wild rabbit hole
@@elleash3040 thanks for your reply. Appreciate your info. It’s really scary when you think about it.
@@thecrimeatlas Thanks so much for the welcome, very kind of you to to take the time. Am happy to have found you & eagerly await coming episodes.😊
I am a native Texan and I still live here. The US prison system is a mystery to me, too. It doesn't make sense to lock people up with no rehabilitation. Yet that is what happens. Our system is for punishment only. Most people come out learning how to be a better criminal with more connections. How does that serve and or protect our citizens? Having a for profit system only adds to the problem. No changes will take place because there's no insensitive. The more people incarcerated the more the private prison system profits.
The state wants to crucify him and distance themselves after the fact when they're the ones who let him out in the first place. They get someone they know struggles with multiple mental illnesses, a criminal family tree, and throws him in solitary with ZERO treatment, and then opens the gate and lets him out (early) with no parole or supervision whatsoever. Gee, I wonder what could've gone so wrong in this perplexing situation!
I mean its so clear he has mental health issues, the self mutilation should be clear. Damn shame. People should take mental health more seriously
He is a monster, and I can't help to pity him.
Makes you feel grateful for your own not so good life.
Exactly this.
THIS, YASSS!!! Best comment on this post!
Mental health noooo, he signed a contract with Devil that's all or should I say he let the Devil himself to take charge of his life
💀😂
The system (Dr. Frankenstein) that let him out early When he and his wife ask for the pyschiatric help he needed created this monster and continue to do so.
I wish they would quit having kids.
Yup which is why more yt people are serial killers, more than 82%. It's obvious both sides of his family has yt ancestry. But you don't want to talk about that. So you use one isolated super psycho and put everyone in a box.
The system failed him as a kid and allowed a wicked monster to grow! Riep all the victims x
America prisons are privatized. They intentionally don’t have any plans of “rehabilitation” or “correction”. They are there for punishment, that’s why their reoffend rate is through the roof. They are making bank off treating criminals like animals
No system failed him! He was raised evil!
@@isaacyucha8302 untreated severe mental illness as a child falls into the category of “system failed him”.
@@isaacyucha8302 So very true. No one could safe the children growing up in a family like this, no one and no system.
@@fredajordan5704 that's so sad.
Gives me chills. His first interrogation sounds exactly like my best friend talks. Exact same mannerisms. Talks at you. Very direct and matter of fact. He's going to be a lifer. Only made it a week after doing five years.
I feel like he should have been in the hospital and not released in a mental facility that can give him a diagnosis evaluate his condition and maybe change his life around to where he could at least get back in the hospital
No Psychiatric Treatment, nothing, and he's let out!!! Unbelievable!!
Astounding!
And the justice system absolutely doesn't care. I don't understand why they're isn't some kind of reform, I bet if there was some kind of help, some counseling, therapy, maybe even someone to act like they care, it possibly cld be a better turn out. I know some are beyond help but not all, but that's how they're treated
I think it's because of the antisocial personality disorder. People with that problem only get help if it is court ordered or for secondary issues like addiction or depression/bipolar disorder etc.
@@jackchop1576 huh??? He’s the one who asked for help! Were you not listening??? And it’s weird as hell that several physicians diagnosed him with schizoaffective disorder, and only one diagnosed him with ASPD, but somehow that’s the only one you heard. 🙄
👁
I can’t believe that man asked for help and got nothing that falls back on the system they new he had a problem and still let him go I pray for the family’s that lost there loved ones I also pray for him
😢the system fells them all so sad 😢
Prayer in Name of Jesus Christ and blood of Lamb needed for the entire family
You should do his sister Erica next. She got sentenced to 60-100 years for murder and walked out of court smiling and waving like Miss America. I know they have one decent sibling though.
They have 2 sisters that moved far away from the family.
The ones who let him out without some kind of help should be charged with accessory to any crime he commits.
They will never.
Also, psychology 101 : If someone keeps mentioning a quirk/issue/virtue about themselves, it's not true.
Example : Someone that keeps saying, "I'm a nice person." "I'm an honest person." "I would never hurt anyone." "I never lie." "My only weakness is that I care too much."
Usually if people keep trying to plant these seeds, there's a reason. And it's not honesty.
💯💯💯
Not always.
U can tell he’s manic when being interviewed.
Lots of bleeding heart comments, you wouldn’t want this guy around your family
Uh well yeah, it's not up to us to rehabilitate people with serious mental health disorders...
When he got out I bet the prison just didn’t want to deal with him. Sad story
His life was fcked from the get go However when he killed them people he knew what he was doing and he’s right where he belongs. His story’s sad but you can’t kill all them people just because you’re pissed off that nobody treated you right through your life!!
Ik this is serious , but I laughed my ass off at him singing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm obsessed with this channel!!!! Thank you so much for the quality content!
Some people do better with the structure that prison provides (when done properly). He could have led a protective life in prison for the rest of his life, if they hadn’t just thrown him into solitary. Imagine the torture it must have been for him, to be schizophrenic and in that disgusting cell 23 hours a day?! The blood is not entirely on his hands after being released, the warning was there. Not only did his family fail him, the system did too.
Far beyond cruel punishment.
Trust me, you prefer solitary confinement when your locked up. You think he's incarcerated with Saints and Bishops? Not everyone dislikes solitude. Some of us actually prefer it. More peace that way. It wasn't the solitary confinement. It wasn't his Parents. It was his choices! Quit letting people off the hook. Everyone on the planet has went through something growing up. We don't go murdering 4 innocent people in 4 days.
His family didn't fail him though. He is the man who his own family made him to be.
@@SirHumphrey498 ummm what??? Do some research on his life... it began with his family... he was failed at every avenue in his life... do to the negligence of my city and state.... many lives were lost....
If mental health was referred to as "Brain Health" we would aid in ridding the stigma. It is rare, even while incarcerated that medications can be forced as a court order is necessary.
American jails and prisons are full of Nikko Jenkins.
I highly doubt BRAIN HEALTH would make any type of difference 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 wtf dude that... Yeah... I'm not even gonna say it 💩👎👎
Thank You, Crime Atlas!! Excellent video! Looking forward to the next one!
Drawing a line between evil and mentally I’ll is a difficult thing to do. Regardless, these people need to be removed from society.
There's a billion other categories too
Literally everyone is mentally ill. As a matter of fact to deny it, proves it. What im trying to say is, why do we willingly exacerbate that fact? Oh yea. We are all so insane , that so are our laws. Interesting isnt it? Not really , things will get vetter once we forget our instinct and think logically
Why Nebraska would ever have released this guy is a bewildering mystery. Absolutely mind blowing. Also, I am not a gung ho death penalty guy, but if there is a good case to be made for using it, I'd say Nikko's case qualifies. At least then the department of corrections will never again have the chance to make such a bone headed decision as they did the first time.
Let me inform you of something about Nebraska and Iowa you will do more time in Iowa for marijuana then you will for raping a child and it's almost the same like that in Nebraska both States basically release people who they know who's going to reoffend and come back it's all of money thing
They said the Judge was his step dad
Come to LA these types are all over the area walking freely
Well they helped create what he was. You don't take a child with that many mental health issues and put him in solitary confinement for 8yrs and then release him straight to the streets. They bare a lot of the responsibility for the ppl that lost their lives. He should've been somewhere getting the help he needed.
Red states do this type of shyt. He’d be on death row elsewhere from jump
He walked in the courtroom like he owned the joint. I can’t blame the 2 family members not having anything to do with that family. I would be changing my last name ASAP
We can all so quick to judge. If any one of us was born into the same conditions, was verbally, physically and sexually abused and never given the correct treatment or counselling, we'd have ended up the same way!
You may be right, but there are people that have pulled themselves out of their terrible situation and have turned things around. Unfortunately, there are many that slip through the cracks or are outrightly ignored when aksing for help; and still, there are those who rise above and are better for it. Not all who are subject to these conditions turn into Nikko, we as a community need to come together for these kids, hold people accountable for their poor treatment. It's not okay to sit idly by. This is a community problem and until it is addressed as so, no changes will be made. 🙏
We would've ended up the same way? You're insane... Millions have went through the same or worse and don't go killing innocent strangers
@@joshuajones4854 You're missing my point. He had it bad, way, way worse than most and he ended up a product of his environment. Yes, 'others' do lots of things including great things but we're not talking about them here my friend. Respectfully.

@@joshuajones4854 shows how little you know about human psyche.

I'll never understand those women!!
Thank God they didn't have any kids. He would be a monster given his family tree
His wife is naturally beautiful. Its sad she ended up with him and got those tats all over her face.
That was my 1st thought too. She’s pretty (minus the ugly tats) and can articulate herself well so how the hell did she end up w a complete maniac smh
Something tells me those tattoos on her face and neck have everything to do with him.
How was he ever let out? Unbelievable. I'm always shocked by how incompetent our just system is sometimes. Just absolutely rediculous.
In all seriousness, I get anxiety just hearing about isolation. Granted, I've suffered from depression, anxiety and addiction since I was a teenager. And like you said, prisoners are often mentally ill before incarceration... not only is isolation a severe punishment - it becomes a punishment for anyone around said inmate after the fact.

GENERATIONAL CURSES. THESE DEMONS RUN IN HIS FAMILY, VISITED HIM AS A CHILD, ENTERED HIM AS A MAN, AND NEVER LEFT. VERY SAD 😢
This man and his family are well known here. I had conversated with him briefly back in the past.He is one of a kind and he is very, very unforgettable.🤔
Tell us more bro. What was he like, what was your encounter
He’s one of a kind, unforgettable? That says nothing.
I'm sorry. He's the most annoying, full of bs person in the world! He loves to hear himself talk and thinks he's brilliant
This guy should have never been let out. The death of those people are also the fault of the judicial system.
With a family like that, no wonder.
This is a well structured and organized documentary. Leading to the crimes and outcome step by step
I worked with Jenkins at NDCS….I fully blame NDCS for those murders. I wish you could access what I’ve seen 💀
Please tell us what you can (without risking your job).
Yes please do
Inquiring minds want to know!!
Interesting.
Well, for one thing, just as others have said-he didn’t stand a chance from the beginning. Not only does he come from a “career criminal” family, he is chock full of mental illness. It used to piss me off to no end when I’d hear “ just ignore him, he’s malingering” “he’s making it up” “he’s full of crap”. But let me tell you, those eyes are EMPTY, nobody sane is home! Every one of the marks on his face he did to himself with contraband he got off staff. Nowadays he has added a “nose ring” by tattooing one on and he also has black lip liner. He still talks to his serpent friend and even tried to carve his manhood to look like his friend. He has also managed to pierce his member repeatedly by getting a hold of staff badges. All of that aside, this man TOLD NDCS he was going to commit murder and they thought he was full of it…..and look what he did! Our in-house psychs said he was making it all up, yet an outside psych (who has nothing to gain) said he wouldn’t want to run into this dude in a dark alley, he’s a very scary guy and needs to remain committed somewhere.
Guaranteed if he was free..that woman in love would be another one of his victims
One way prison guards could keep all inmates behaving properly would be to threaten them with "do you want to be cell mates with Jenkins?"! Yep, that would DEF cause all (all with properly working 🧠that is) to stand down/&stop whatever crap they're trying to get away with
There is always someone bigger and stronger specially in prison!
Niko would be a nightmare celly to have.! Definitely would never go to sleep with that dude in the cell..!
Why is he still alive?
Or to act out so they can be known as the one who killed Jenkins... There's crazier mofos than ol boy here
This poor family never had a chance. I hope he can find peace somewhere.
How can ge find peace if he is going to die
Sad but this guy never had a chance.
True but even scarier when you look at family and see how many kids they're all having. 😳

I’m also surprised these type of ppl actually get married. I know so many “normal” ppl that don’t even marry and yet these kind of ppl do! It’s always seemed so strange to me lol I don’t know maybe there is some kind of benefit to it.
@@taylorinvancouver2017 It’s not that hard to figure out. Poor people are less likely to have any medical insurance, which means women can’t afford birth control prescriptions out of pocket. They also can’t afford to get their tubes tied out of pocket. Condoms cost money, and a lot of men just won’t wear one, let alone pay for them.
And poor women are a lot more likely statistically to turn to stripping or sex work because that’s the only job that pays enough to support herself and her kids without going on welfare, since the broke father(s) are probably paying as little child support as they can get away with.
And lastly, being poor is the ultimate depressant. Your life fcking sucks, and no matter how hard you try, how hard you _work,_ it’s like running on a treadmill. You just can’t get ahead. The opportunities aren’t there, but the credit card debt sure is. You’re miserable. And frankly, it’s only human to seek comfort in someone’s loving arms. Anything to distract you from how hopeless everything seems.
@@CharlieApples Exactly, well said! Most people don't think that far.
@@CharlieApples or to seek comfort/ ANY feelings of relief (if even for a few minutes) with drugs. You're right, it IS a viscous cycle.

Gee.. it's almost as if it's not 'by chance' that so many of our citizens are currently f*cked 🧐
When he got on the floor, like a child his voice broke and he said “I just wanted help from you guys“. That was too much for me. If anyone wants to make a snarky remark about him being a murdering monster who we should have no empathy for keep that same energy for the entire judicial system.
Ask yourself if the system was functioning ethically, morally, consciously, and fairly would those murders even have taken place? They knew exactly what was going to happen.
completely agree
You heard of acting to get what you want? No doubt he was failed by the system but if he wanted help he would have at least took the pills.
He is Absolutely TERRIFYING!! I haven't seen a video about him. Glad I waited for you!
He doesn't look angry, threatening, depressed or disturbed during the interrogation. He is actually a charming dude, speaks calmly and convincingly. I now understand why he was released early from jail.
Sorry but the 999 tattoo is hilarious! In the UK it's for the police!!!!
🤣😂🤣
LOL
Think he was trying to do 666
Cool story
999 is also for something else ,so, get out of your English bubble
His cousin abusing him was source of societal rebellion
I don’t agree with everyone that this man only committed these crimes because he was “failed by the mental health system“. That seems to be everybody’s pre-fab excuse for any unhinged, violent maniac. More people than you realize go through the same that this man has been through (and more) and don’t end up committing horrible crimes. Rather, most of them take it out on themselves
To be fair he was also sexually abused
Thank you for saying this. Every other comment I read hear defend him by saying “he never had a chance”.
I say it's both needed help but chose it's not straightforward it's a little of this or that not 100 percent mental illness
Nope! Sociopaths and psychopaths are created not born. He was created.
I find this case to be more sad than angering. Meaning, I feel sad for him. This man wasn't given even half a chance from the day he was born. He was repeatedly traumstized and has been repeatedly failed at every turn. And I get that inmates in prison have to be kept safe from other dangerous inmates, but it's unacceptable and disgusting to keep someone in solitary confinement for a lengthy amount of time, especially in the conditions that our prison system allows. There's absolutely no question at this point about what it does to people. We know it effs them up. And to take someone like nikko, who was in desperate need of intervention, care, and rehabilitation efforts, and deprive him of those things but instead putting him in total solitude for so long....as far as I'm concerned, everything that followed after his release is just as much on the shoulders of the people in charge at the prison as it is on him. Their choices and deliberate actions helped kill those 4 people and take them from their families.
What's with these women falling for death row inmates? So damn desperate
He’s handsome and alot of them show their good side
He is far from being the most feared on earth. I can name many others before he was born who were worse and even more terrifying than him.
Guarantee he's someone neither of us would want to meet. Ego aside, it's kill or be killed with this sort. YOU have to be willing to take it there
There should be something we could do to keep the prison/system accountable for letting dangerous people like him out. Listening to the way that was done is absolutely insane. Who was in charge? He had been in Solitary confinement all that time and gets let out to prey on the public? Can't tell me they didn't know how dangerous he was. I bet the guards were shaking their heads when they heard that! Sometimes i think they get sick of dealing with these people and really don't care as long as they don't have to put up with them. That woman is attention seeker...i bet she'd hide if he got out. Really she needs help!
How about we start holding these absolute deadbeat parents accountable instead? Killers aren't born, they're created via abuse, neglect and mistreatment by the ones who were too irresponsible to have children and undeserving of the privilege of parenthood.
Despite what Nikko Jenkins did, his parents birthed him into a dangerous and volatile situation where he was brought up with the understanding that the only way he could ensure he could never be victimised again was by becoming the most ruthless and aggressive predator that hurts others before he can be hurt. All they had to do was take responsibility for their child and they failed him at every opportunity.
Ppl complain about keeping ppl in prison and ppl complain about releasing them
It's not up to the prism system it's self. Lies on the shoulders of leftist they put on these parol boards
Detective to Nikko: ………people are going to look at you as flat out killer
That’s exactly what he wants the entire world to see him as
I wrote before I watched your comprehensive video. Ive studied his case. You did a fantastic job- amazing! Because the court would not classify him as insane
Niko is very intelligent but he didn't have a chance either. His family all felons. His mom just got out. The way he talks is not stupid it's intelligent. But something ain't right in his head. Good looking guy who could of been anything but this. Sad his family has that history
Some families are just trash. None of those kids had a shot. Such a shame.
Helena So very true. For the sake of a safe society some ppl. should be steralized mandatory.
So this is what his sister meant when she said, “he’s their Frankenstein.” He is a creation of terrible upbringing and systems that have failed him. Nonetheless, he still is a monster.
US prison system helped this man become, who he is. Shame on the correctional Institute.
Absolutely
The man has free choice!
His parents and family made him into the man he is today. He landed in jail for a reason the first time
I think his parents had him first.
I have said this my whole life... Most people in jail and prison have mental conditions,so what does the justice system do? They throw them all in the same cage to let them act like animals! Instead of mandatory medication and a real re-education programs. But they allow them to fight, steal and rape each other in jail! How pathetic!!
First time hearing about this dude. But when I hear anything about solitary. The only name that comes to mind, "Kalief Browder." ♡🦅
First time on this channel and already love the intro 👏🏾
The system absolutely failed him from day one. No excuse for the horrific events, but I would like to see how his life would have turned out with the right care as a child, a mental health treatment plan, and the proper medications. Really heartbreaking.
I agree. Nikko never had any chance. He was especially violent and nothing really excuses the random murders, but the entire system should have their feet held to the fire for this whole mess.
Exactly my thoughts
For those saying “I feel sorry for him” also feel sorry for people like Ted Bundy and these other serial killers and mass shooters who also had “troubled childhoods”
Where do you draw that conclusion from?
Yes. It's called compassion. You can understand that someone did horrible, evil things and also discuss the evil done to the person. Crybaby right wingers like you want emotional satisfaction from every fucking thing, grow up, this is real life.
I mean...I do feel sorry for people who have truly abusive upbringings? I'm not sure why that would go away just because they become villains. You can see them as having an abjectly negative impact on the world and also be sad because if they had been nurtured, if their family had been nurtured, if they were given room to grow...the world would have been better for everyone.
If we can not face the role that we, as a society, play in creating these monsters, then we absolutely can not do anything to prevent making more of them.
Ted bundy didn’t have a troubled upbringing
They feel sorry for him, l feel so so sorry they didn't get to know him up close!
It’s always everyone else’s fault and not their’s. He sounded intelligent and coherent when he was speaking to the detectives and his letter did not appear to be written by someone that did not know what he was doing. I only feel bad for the victims. And that woman dating him has serious issues; she knows damn well if he got out, he’d probably eliminate her too. What a moron. Is she that needy and lonely?
I agree with you. Well, I'm not sure about the woman since I only saw the short clip of her. However, he was an adult and responsible for his actions. He could have checked himself into a psychiatric hospital as soon as he was released if he was really asking for help.
Not beefy but she probably has a savior complex and is codependent
Never understood how women can fall in love with monsters whos in prison for their countless despicable crimes.
Unfortunately here in America, the system ignores dysfunctional families and the Children born to Drug and Alcohol addicted mothers and Fathers grow up in Horrible conditions !!!. PEOPLE THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES SHOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN.
I’ve seen a few on this guy, wow; everyone is spot on- he never EVER had a chance. He even went so far as to ASK for help & got nothing, no support or tracking to speak of.
.....HOWEVER, he DOES walk tf into court like he’s in his own personal rap video, 🕶 does he not? 😳 yikes
Yep, he was screwed from the start.
And I noticed that his crimes started straight after he was molested by his cousin. With an upbringing and family like that, with little or no support from them and then the government ignores his pleas for help…he was always doomed after that. It’s very sad, for the people he hurt and killed and for his wasted life too. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🥺😭
YUP!!! I did not expect that high pitched squeaky voice at the end!!!!!
i watched that part so many times that i lost track, lol! i was like, is THIS the same dude who wrote that letter BEGGING anyone to just help him?!? big yikes 🤨🥴
Family of overachievers.
Rap video?? WTF are you talking about what does that even mean ? Smh
Usually I see every one being mean and saying nasty stuff. I'm so glad someone took the time to explain how he got this way. I'm sorry for the people he hurt. It could have been avoided.
I would like to know how the evil Jenkins committed could've been avoided..
@@guysolis5843 it was inevitable. Even with medication and counseling he would have killed. It only would have postpone the murders and the victims would have been Different maybe even more people. There's no helping evil like him.
@@guysolis5843 Check out Robert Merton strain theory and also Robert Agnew theory on how criminal minds are shaped early. intervention during the first 12 years of life is extremely crucial as the child is still mouldable and capable of being reshaped through better experiences.
@@ghostcasper3185 Sounds good, I do a study..Thx
@@guysolis5843 Also watch child of rage, because she was able to get that help very early thanks to her foster parents she was able to heal from sociopathy.
Honestly I feel he is not at all the most evil criminal. He was disturbingly troubled since birth, he never had a chance to be anything other than what society made him. Yes, he did horrible things and deserves prison, but in no way is he the most evil person
Anyone, in the justice system, that was exposed to this man, and decided to turn a deaf ear and blind eye to his mental issues has all of these peoples' blood in their hands.
These homicide detectives deserve the worst that can possibly happen to them because they manipulated this man when he was out of his mind.
Eff the self serving cops. Eff the justice system.
Sorry you never got the help you needed Nikko. 😔 Sorry for the victims that had to pay the the price for the negligence of the justice system.
Dude has a talent for making hardened criminals look like Boy Scouts.
For real too
Hardened criminals don’t do impulsive acts and don’t get caught
He is highly intelligent. He should have gotten help at young age.
I agree
No question schizophrenic is genetic. It is also deteriorating as one ages. He was doomed from birth. Why would any woman have kids with someone who has mental illness is just a mystery.
If Niko wants kids- I’m guessing the only answer is to have em’..
Wow. Some guys can’t get a girlfriend while this monster didn’t even have to try, she found him. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just found your CZcams channel and I am extremely impressed with your research on background the accuracy of your interpretations without all the bullshyte behavioral analysis and opinion.... A solid and fair and unbiased evaluation I love you 😉😎
It appears no one cared even when he was so young, he had a chance, no one gave him a chance, this is what happens when not one person cared….
How did he get sun glasses in jail/court?
Probably a problem with his eyes. Too much time in solidarity
How did Richard ramirez? If they hav we eye problems ...they let them
The sunglasses might be medically necessary.
Society didn't fail him, society failed all his victims, especially the ones he racked up after being released early.
And that about says it all. In the UK there is a very big failure in the justice dept, there seems to be more justice for offenders than the innocent public, killers are released to kill again, it does not get much worse than that.
What a beautiful, thought out song for his love. She isn't right. . He never had a chance, and is CLEARLY living in a parallel universe. It's tragic his mental issue were not addressed prior to all of this. Spending most of his life (foundation years) in prison must be incredibly hard to overcome, even if you have a level head and support It must had been his normal, no support, no trust, just run. He deserves to be where he is, I don't see him ever responsible, or empathetic for his actions. Very sad all the way around.
Ya he's so sweet 😐
Nothing sad about it. The senseless murder victims families are the only ones that warrant sadness as you say about it. Nothing at all sad about his life and the choices he made. He can rot in hell where he wants to be anyway. Good riddance
beyond sad at this point, simply PATHETIC.
@@clytnjms I agree so much.
From knowing about him I know that he is smooth and has game. Woman fall for this guy because of what he says. Regardless if he did what he did and where he is now. Nikko is elegant and smooth like silk.
Put him in the Madagascar jail and he'll wish he was in America again
From a justice point of view. the most regrettable thing is that nobody from the penal system was brought to justice. Make no mistake, the state forged this monster when he was asking for help.
77% of 18 years in solitary confinement. Let that sink in people. With no mental health help or anything. Shall I say again for the people who didn't hear the first time. 💔
That's a recipe for insanity.
He didn’t do the full 18 yrs
Life is what you make ..Even if you grew up in poverty and Alcoholic parents I'm a good example and I was a 4.time felon I changed my life thanks be to God.🙏
I went to highschool with his cousin this story is wild really had everyone in Omaha scared as hell
Wow. That Woman identified that he is a Manipulator but fail to realize that she was Manipulated. SAD.
She probably had some threats in her life and having him on her side gave her some sense of Security.
nikko is a strong argument for abortion
You mean to tell me… ignoring a child exhibiting early stages of schizophrenia, not addressing it during his prison stay, exacerbating the illness with months in solitary isn’t the proper way the “greatest country on earth” should treat its citizens? Addressing peoples mental illnesses doesn’t seem humane,… maybe it’s worse for society
Evil monster what is wrong with women who have relationships with these vile men
