      Well,
      1. There was alcohol (and more?) involved and there was *technically* only one killer. So, while many in this group of conspirators were very malicious, it's hard to say how many were actually homicidal.
      2. Subcultures form where everyone in the group gets dragged down and responsibility is diffused. Clearly, a very toxic subculture was formed within these security guards where they felt some kind of social immunity with each other. With scum-bag ring leaders (like Carl) running the show, nobody with high moral standards would stick around.
      3. This happened during a strike and the guards were only "passing by", which further added to the sense of there being no long term consequences.

    They needed the fire brigade to remove them from their home for hospital treatment. The obese person was distressed and wanted to eat a cream cake before being moved... 'that's ridiculous, how selfish' I thought.
    At the same time I glanced and observed I had put my antibiotics for a chest infection with my cigarettes for the next day at work.

      A lot of it has to do with how women and women's sexuality was regarded, and still is to a large extent, in the 70's in conservative communities. Janice Chandler was having casual sex with multiple men, who all lived and worked together, many of whom had wives and girlfriends. She was sexually aggressive (as suggested by the cowboy boots story). This was interpreted as she was sexually fair game, and would enjoy or she deserved to be punished by a 'gang bang' for breaking the sexual rules for women. Choking is also part of some peoples sexual repertoire, especially people who enjoy violent or "rough sex", both as the aggressor and as the recipient. It was not an intentional homicide. It would be a crime that was hard for Chandler to report since the details of her behavior would become public, and this would make her feel more ashamed and she would likely experience further ostracism from her community. It would have been hard to convince a jury, let alone the local police department that she had been an unwilling participant.

And also, how do they claim it wasn’t their goal to kill her from the beginning??? That’s such a lie!

    Thank you, Dr Grande, fascinating analysis of a truly horrific, heartbreaking story. In my humble opinion there is one last sliver of shame, it seems to me that a girl from such a background as Janet would feel devastated at the loss of virginity, after that was lost, wasted on a man who took advantage of her, it’s not so much that she felt free but that she no longer mattered. The men she focused on were just desperate moments of confusion within the anguish of her self deprecation. If she moved on to feeling liberated it was only in moments of intoxication, her last agonising hours were, in her mind, what she deserved. We know differently, I wish she had.

How many have been executed that where not guilty? Only 1 is enough to make those that support it a murderer, so that's not odds I can accept.

    The sadism of the crime is not really explored in this video, but it was a harrowing gang-rape/torture/murder, with the perpetrators and onlookers mocking her. Shame and guilt may have played a role in the ringleader's ultimate confessions, but note he still did the "I wasn't trying to kill her" story. He may have done some re-writing of events in his head over the years.

      You're right about his lying, but I must object to the part where you implied he believes his own lies due to "rewriting over the years".
      I consider that "some liars convince themselves their own lies" stuff to be non-falsifiable at best, and pop psychology pap that ignores any reason to find that claim unconvincing at its worst.

      When the state has custody of a person, they are that person's guardian.
      A guardian that would deliberately kill their ward, who is in custody, against the ward's consent .. no. There are very good reasons to not allow the state to murder civilians.
      Among them: at different times people have been condemned and killed for things that aren't crime now.
      For example, having politics that are communist. Having sexual orientation that is homosexual.
      As much as you hate someone for violent murder: don't allow your state to legalise murder.
      It devalues life. If parents beat their children, you don't expect to get well adjusted children growing up. If a state torture and kills its civilians you don't expect to have a kind and gentle populous.

      @@craigfinnegan8534 The individuals involved in this crime certainly committed horrific acts. But that does not mean the hotel itself was a dangerous or disreputable place, or attracted shady clientele. What is most shocking is that most of the defendants in this case seem to have gone on to live lives within the parameters of civil society. As Dr. Grande suggests, something unique went on within this group to induce such terrible violence. Because my parents stayed there, I spent time there myself, so I have first hand knowledge of what the environment was like as well as having lived in town, where I was aware of the "reputation" of various areas around town. Believe me or not. Calling the hotel disreputable or dangerous is overreaching and perhaps a result of people in Holland trying to distance themselves from the people who committed these crimes and the terrible crime itself, although it did attract some deserved notoriety after the crime along the lines of, "Blue Mill Inn, isn't that the place where the girl that was killed used to work?". What you are saying seems like saying the Ambassador Hotel is a disreputable place because assassinations happen there, or Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas is a dangerous place that attracts shady clientele.

      Unfortunately, patriarchy ultimately plays a major role in toxic dynamics between women.

Janet was controlled first by a God the Father, her actual father, and then was taken in by seeking approval from men through sex. The whole situation reeks of misogyny. And as I have said many times, unfortunately some (not most) and of the worst misogynists have *always* been woman. Fortunately, this new generation seems just slightly less tolerant of overt misogyny(at least publicly), thank goodness.

    laurie swank says confessing was the "right thing to do" lmao. You confessed because you knew full well the cops were just about ready to arrest you anyway. You should have been tossed away with the others.

    I work at a federal building (FEMA) in Texas. The guard companies change every year due to a bidding process (Wackenhut, American Global, etc...) but the guards remain the same (only their uniforms change)
    To a man, they are all ex-military. I believe it may have something to do with the fact that they obey commands and rarely question them. They have experience with weapons, they are fairly disciplined, and they are physically fit. To be a guard at this facility, you can not have any criminal record above a Class C misdemeanor.
    I believe ALL armed security guards should have these same qualifications.

    Another excellent analysis. I just noticed you have some books out on the market! I'm on it! Thank you Dr. Grande.

    I think I would listen to you read the phone book (well we used to have phone books...)

    As shameful and shocking a crime as has probably ever happened among the tulip fields... I should imagine the Police would have been humiliated by that unsolved murder.

    So just to be clear - the people who actually murdered her took plea deals and pointed to someone else and they got life - sounds legit.
