#Crime #Oklahoma #News
We love a good 2nd amendment story. What ever happened to good guys with guns!!!
Probably wasn’t even her gun. Seems a lot of self defense guns are used for opportunistic situations. Makes sense with the gun already being present. I say that as a firearm owner however 😂 but i have a good life and sense of morality.
Democrats support child trafficking
I understand that the mother had severe mental issues and struggles, but that’s no excuse to murder her kids.
It’s not an excuse, but is she totally to blame?? Maybe if she was committed to getting well in a hospital that focused on her mental and physical health instead of reunification, visitation, etc. they’d all still be alive today.
@SDIGF3exactly. If she was in an agitated and paranoid state to begin with, then all of those police and fire engines, etc show up…someone in that state will go into fight or flight mode, X 1000.
We do not value mental health in this country. We do not value physical health, either. We don’t value wellness at all. I shouldn’t say we, I should say the powers that be do not value that, for us people.
People ate barely making it day to day. These very odd medication shortages, high prices on everything, increased insurance rates, etc and so on…its going to reach a boiling point soon.
@Story Time Nails 🎯🎯🎯
@Story Time Nails Yep. I see it coming as well.
Then you pay for it
This is absolutely heartbreaking rest in peace to those babies, this is just evil.. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Illness is not evil. Not having help or universal care is what is evil.
@SDIGF3 if you do not call this evil then you need to rethink your mental capacity. In no way did I say this was not a mental illness I said this was evil these are babies and if you don’t see that you need to re-evaluate things.
And the good christian red states , want abortion banned. Guess what that does creates more of these situations in the future.
Nothing sadder than innocent children or the elderly being slaughtered or taken advantage of.
Horrible. The craziest things happen in this wicked world.
No help. Most women are losing it.
Tragic circumstances would make you take tragic actions if you don’t have the lord Jesus.
Everytime I hear a case like this reminds me of Chad Dornner
I thought the same thing
That is the tackiest memorial I’ve ever seen. Pinwheels, glowsticks, pompoms, and 99¢ solar lights with the price tags still attached. 😅
Backwoods.
Wall street journal attack..
Now The Neighbors are Living in a Depressing environment
Dude filed for emergency custody and the courts let this happen. Legal system in this country is a bad joke, especially family courts, 100% of all abortions are done by the woman whom the courts Heavily biased and almost always favor over the fathers. Doesn’t take a judge or genius to see women are not the best choice for custody when they have knowingly killed so many of them.
Obviously she needed help. If only a neighbor had checked or spoken to her before this.
She needed healthcare and education, not a conversation. America failing its citizens as usual.
Oh no how so very horrific. Those kids deserved better.
🌺RIP innocent ones🌺 the neighbor said those kids were the future of America well the US has utterly and completely failed US children long term and for generations in every way they can be failed and the outcomes for US children have been grotesque disturbing and unacceptable.
“the future”
ALL “women” in oklahoma are mentally ill . Don’t believe me go talk to one.
We never know what goes on in other’s homes. RIP to the whole family.
You can try to reach out to ppl so this doesn’t happen again. RIP.
Why does the title imply the mother was killed along with the kids? SHE killed them and then killed HERSELF.
Why was there a standoff
Those poor kids.
The reporter sounds like he’s either just taken a sedative or that he couldn’t really be bothered to express alertness for this story…in addition to him barely holding the mic for the man to speak. Good grief.
This is so sad. Nobody cares about anyone else anymore
@Bxnkroll i do. if you were sick. I would help you i could never turn my back on someone in pain. don’t lose faith that goodness still exists in the world this is just youtube videos they have to make them like this so they get views.
@Michael McLain True. I lost my mom to suicide and fell off from my Youtube channel so they demonetized me. It’s a hard life for ppl with not much.
With horrible stories like this… As to how religious people twist and bend their faith, I will never understand. RIP innocent victims of our global mental heath crisis 😥
What was she armed with?
Unfortunately, you hear alot of stories just like this these days, parents killing their children and spouses, its a very sad thing, RIP little children.
Yeah, it’s like an epidemic
@🌐~Sugar Xyler Some people downplay mental health. The same folks you see downplaying medical science, and medical care.
Fire the narrator. Please.
ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY 👼 👼 👼 🙏🏻
@Tony Hurd
There are 2,000 gods and hundreds of religions, but don’t worry, only yours is right.
@or2ak I’m not saying mine is right but , he is the only one I know .
@Tony Hurd
You know God?
@or2ak my god I do
@Tony Hurd
Religion is a mental illness.
Does people know the cord that goes with headset like the one CD play how do switch your adapter hole
So very sad.
Oklahoma is a total mess.
Can’t blame the Mexicans or Republicans for this.
The mother had substance abuse and mental health issues. Not mentioned in this video is that another woman and her two children were also with this woman in the house, in addition to the 3 children mentioned in this video. Altogether, FIVE people were “held hostage” by this woman. That other woman and her two children later escaped the house, fortunately.
Ah!!! No mention of the substance abuse!!!
When you don’t endorse abstinence until marriage, you get a bunch of women trying to do it all. That’s what feminism has given us. Broken and disturbed people who breed.
I only heard of her prior suicide attempt in January so Brandy had substance abuse issues too? Either way too bad a Protection Order by the Court wasn’t filed to keep her own kids and her infant away from ’em so they could be safe from harm. Where was the Supervisor of the Visitation? I heard of the other woman who was in the garage lighting off fireworks to get attn. after Brandy took one child, her own, away from the woman with her two kids who escaped on their own.
So sad p
Amen i love you god i love you jesus
Religion is a mental illness.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Just another evil woman. They truly are the devils spawn. Be careful out there guys.
Mental health crisis – identity crisis …… and much more
Another responsible gun owner.
Canada has 800% less gun fatalities per capita than the US. The tyranny is supporting NRA bribes that cause kids to die. Good luck fighting apaches, drones, and tanks with small arms.
People need to control their emotions like me = find a way to keep your mind busy with hobbies
Awful
Monsters are real.
Was she a drag queen?
Nope…but She was Mom’s of Liberty white
this is very sad. post partum depression is a very serious matter. this is why its important for doctors to ask the mother, how they are doing when they bring the baby in for their check up, since its an opportunity to evaluate if everything is alright or not alright.
So awful hearing about these horrific circumstances 😖 nobody wins when children are taken from us too soon. RIP to these poor babies. In Jesus name 😞
Mourn the poor babies NOT their murderer
It’s life happens all the time.
more and more as of late….. people are sick of the mess they’ve made
Seventy percent of Americans took the poison. This will get worse.
Soooo this what happens in small towns? Just asking.
RIP to the lil angels! My neighbor started putting upside down pineapple on her yard you’ll never know what happens behind closed doors!
Where is their father? Too many women are doing this alone and this needs to stop.
What town?
The fact that this mother who killed her kids is not as hated as carlee is racist imo
Huh. I guess he tried it in a small town after all… Sorry Mr. Aldean…
So sad !
God works in mysterious ways.
Dumbest thing to say here. Let’s hope God gets “mysterious” with you next, but leaves your family out of it. <3
Silly
Aren’t guns great???
Looks like a typical quiet suburb. But now they are placing memorial mementoes for those killed and a suicide. Sad.
Im not surprised
“Those are the guys I really feel bad for to go through that”. Well what about the kids?
Meanwhile North Korea silent on traitor Travis King as U.S. Army launches investigation? Why? Leave him in North Korea to eat rice for the rest of his life
well, that’s how you get attention
Let me guess the race . It starts with a w
@jenniferevans4933 and not Trans..
@M00NWITCH we ain’t with them . They fake too
@jenniferevans4933 Just like you are!!🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
@M00NWITCH trans people fake asf just a bunch of men lying and insulting women overacting for attention . Don’t try to put us with them phonies . They know they liars and just as bad as the redhat crowd .
Was there a father, and where was he?
It’s sad
Bruh… buddy pulled out the bLicKie and gave out FREE T-SHIRTS 👕💥🔫😂🖕🏼🪦🤡
No one cares, unfortunately and there will never be Justice. Everyone will forget this happened in a week.
They’re the future of America but they don’t get any free housing, healthcare or education. Typical vapid platitudes.
Those poor kids. Why do parents do things like this? Kids are so innocent. If you are not happy and want to take your own life, please talk with someone. And please do not take other people’s lives, especially kids.
Why? SINGLE MOTHERS! Thank a feminist.
Prayers for the family
You never ever hurt children, the elderly, and animals if you do you are a coward or mentally sick.
Unbelievable…if this was the dad the feminists would have a field day.
Bless social worker and other kids lived somebody say so
This is what more responsible gun-owners do than anything else.
RIP babies❤
If you feel there is no joy, hope and only sadness, please ask for help, darkness can be overcome, yes it’s possible to find a new light, please ask for help!!!!!!
The neighbors seem very nice. Sad she didn’t reach out to them or anyone for help. RIP to the children
How can anyone do that to their child?
What’s in the Water people 🤯 SIN !! End of Times ….
🙏
😢🙏🙏🙏
This is happening every day in America
Poor infant and those young children their lives stolen. Since Brandy the biological mother didn’t have Custody who attempted suicide this past January perhaps the poor kids and infant named Billy would still be alive if she wasn’t allowed to be near her kids with an Order of Protection with *No Contact from the Court by the custodial parent their fatherdue to her severe mental issues being so unstable? Still, where was the Supervisor during the Visitation? ““When Brandy McCaslin tried to commit suicide in January, she tried to change my son’s name because she was mad at me because I wasn’t coming back to her. His name was Billy from day one,” he wrote.” TRAGIC
For what smh what was mom accused of???
What was swat// cops there for in the first place???! Maybe she knew they would get taken away and separated and that is a FACT 💯. Well the kids in Heaven and we know where she is 🔥
Well at least she didn’t have an abortion. Thanks Supreme Court!
So sad innocent babies
It’s so ashame, this happened to as whole family. ❤❤❤❤
Demons. They get in your head and slowly destroy you from the inside out. Love is the only way, Through Christ. When I was a child I knew everyone in our neighborhood, about 50 small houses. How many of us , even know who our next door neighbor is? 2:20
This is just the beginning. When men start abandoning these women after playtime, turning them into wrecked homes with children who receive no fatherly love, we will be seeing a lot more suicide-murders like these happen.
I can’t help laughing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️
This entire comment section REFUSES to hold this female accountable. Typical 🤦🏿♂️
The narrator of this story would be good at narrating a Steven King story. Very cryptic sounding story teller
He seams like a great guy.But when he closes that door to the world outside,whats going on in the inside,well we just do what we are told by him.To stay alive yet another day.
When you’re at home you are supposed to be in the safest place in the world.Not wwhen comes around.We the 3 of us live in fear when he decides to show up.
Even when he’s not there we think he has survalance cameras and hearing devices.
Im pretty sure he has a GPS on my car.
He works for the government.So he can get all the surveillance goodies he wants.
Also a pillar of the town.No one would ever know just how dangerous dangerous he is.
There’s hope here’s the answer. God so loved the world He gave His son Jesus that whoever believes will have everlasting life. John 3:16 Jesus died for you believe & repent.
Keep pushing reunification with parents that are too mentally I’ll to even take care of themselves. Focus on actually getting those people well, then maybe this won’t keep happening.
I moved from lv nv to Oklahoma last year & lived there for a year… I recently moved back to lv but man okc is just different a different place it drives ppl crazy…Rip 🕊️🕊️🕊️
What part of Oklahoma?
