hi friends how are you
today i hope you’re having a wonderful day so far
today’s monday
which means it’s murder mystery and makeup monday
if you are new here hi welcome my name is bailey
sarian and on
mondays i sit down and i talk about a true crime
story that’s been
heavy on my
knock in and i do my makeup
at the same time if you’re interested in true
crime and you like makeup i
would highly suggest you hit that subscribe button
cause i’m here for you on mondays
let’s get into today’s
story today’s
story does involve satanism
today’s story is not a reflection of the
whole satanism
religion you know like we’re
adults here we could separate the two
i just have to say that because it
never fails whenever a religion is mentioned
they think that i’m suggesting that it represents the
whole religion and i
i am not we’re separating the two
right i forget to mention that in a lot of
these stories and i need to remember that because it
never fails
there’s bad seeds no matter
where you look
shawn sellers
talk about him
have you heard of him well let me tell you
drama drama
drama because
he was like the youngest guy to ever be
executed in the united
states and i’m totally jumping
ahead but that’s why the
story is like wow
so who shawn sellers let me tell you
shawn sellers was born in california on may 18th 1969
shawn’s mom her name was wanda
now she was only 16 when she had him
and his biological father was said to be very unstable
and a bit of an alcoholic
but at the age of three sean’s
mother and father they ended up
separating and then vonda
quickly met a new man
who was a truck driver named lee
his real name’s paul but they called him lee
so lee okay
he’s a truck driver cool they meet and
after meeting the two of them just ran off together
got married
and shawn’s
mother left
shawn behind with his
grandparents in oklahoma
now shawn’s mother and
stepfather would spend
their time driving across the country
and then they
would stop by
every so often like
every few weeks to visit
sean so at the age of
eight sean’s
mother and stepfather they
ended up moving to los angeles
and they took sean with them
so he went from living
in a small town
with his grandparents
in oklahoma remember
and now he’s moving or he
moved to los angeles
where he said it was a lot more hectic and
they went into the
small apartment so it was just a really
rough adjustment
sean said though he was
happy because he was living with his mom
again and also with lee
who sean considered his father
by the time sean was 16 he had
moved around 30 different
times so he’s jumping around from town to town
for reasons related to his parents jobs
i was rough because sean was
never able to make friends have a
stable home
you know if he liked a
place he knew like he couldn’t get
attached to it or get comfortable because they
would probably be moving again
like 30 times is wild
but over time sean just stopped trying to make friends
and preferred just being
alone because what was the
point they were just
gonna move again
sean would say that in the family
household he
would suffer beatings from his
mother as well as from his grandfather
when he was living with him
and then there was a
short period of time when
sean was living with his uncle
and this uncle
did not like that shawn
would wet the bed at
night so he would
force him to wear
diapers when he went to bed i
guess that’s fine
right normally like
they wet the bed wear diaper
nights but shawn was around the
age of 12 13 years old
so this was just humiliating
to him shawn
would say that if he wet the bed two
nights in a row the
uncle would
force shawn to wear the soil diaper
on his head
for the day so that
uncle’s a little
not right you know
shawn would say that he was a pretty
intense guy like he
would take shawn
hunting and
teach him how to kill
the animals by doing certain techniques i won’t go into
graphic detail
but he would
teach him how to kill the animals and sean
would say that he
would watch his uncle
kill animals in a pretty brutal way and if sean was
grossed out at all or like didn’t want to
watch or participate the
uncle would make fun of
him calling him a wimp telling him that he’s pathetic
and was just really mean
he sounded like a real awful guy
so it wasn’t
until his family
moved to colorado
that the now
teenage sean felt
happy for the
first time when they
moved there
he was going to
school and he joined the
civil air patrol
and he had been
studying emergency response
training which he
would eventually
graduate from the program with outstanding
honors sean’s
mother and stepfather they really took notice
to him being passionate
about something and him
really applying himself
towards this new interest
and they made him
really proud they were very
proud of shawn
he was just doing really well it was
clear to them that
their quiet well
behaved son
was finally like coming out of his shell a bit
teachers at the high
school shawn was attending
knew him as a good student who loved
comic books and
he had a talent for drawing
shawn wasn’t popular
by any means he had
like a few friends but for the most part he really just
enjoyed learning pretty good kid
many of his
teachers noted
that sean absolutely
loved reading
and that he almost always
had his nose in a book
bookworm again
in colorado
it was just like
day and night
shawn just seemed like a different person
he was finding himself he seemed
happy and he just seemed to really be doing well in
school right
things are great he’s
happy yay and then
things changed
not long after moving to
colorado you know
shawn’s getting all settled in he’s doing well
his parents notified him or informed him
that they would be moving again
this time they’re
going back to oklahoma
so for obvious reasons
like sean is
devastated by this news he finally
found somewhere that he belonged he’s doing well he’s
succeeding in life he has
hobbies he’s just
doing well he
doesn’t want to go and
he’s trying
to convince his parents to just let him stay like
for the first time in my life
things are doing well please just let me stay
shawn’s parents knew that there’s no way that they
could leave
their 15 year old alone
in colorado when they
moved to oklahoma so unfortunately
they had to move and
they did so they headed back to oklahoma city
and then after they moved
shawn’s attitude
changed he was
angry he’s a
teenager for
starter so that’s
not good because they’re usually a little
angry already
you know but now he hates his parents okay
and he just
didn’t see the
point in participating
or giving us all in this new city
because what was the freaking
point they were probably gonna move
again once he
started to like it there you know now
shawn’s mom
vonda she had a temper of her own
she just seemed to take her frustrations out on
shawn he was often
for different reasons she
would slap him across the face
hit him with the belt or just
punch him in the face
and all of this and the move just really
broke him and his anger was
building up inside
while in school sean
said that he received an
underground
magazine from some guy who was
promoting the occult
he’s like ooh what’s this and like it was a handmade
magazine it was just filled with satanic
metal bands there was an
interview and artwork
from richard ramirez the night
stalker remember
there were cartoons of different serial killers in the
magazine it was just
focused mainly on satanic killers
sean said when he got this he was interested
okay he was like what is this i’ve
never seen something like this before
i don’t quite
understand this next part but sean said that he met
someone who considered themselves a
witch no idea
where they met this person
but it was said that he met a witch
okay and that this witch
taught him the ins and out of
black magic
and that he was just really infatuated with it
all it was all new it was different it was intriguing
he liked it you know
so now that he was
introduced to it
shawn was trying to do all of his own research on
witchcraft and he
would go to his
local library
and find books on the
topic now this
would lead him to find books
about satanism and know
i’m not saying
they go hand in hand but this is how sean was
introduced to it like it was in the same section
so he finds this book that he’s like oh what is this
satan oh let me read this you know and he’s just
obsessed it’s a new obsession
it just really caught his interest and shaun
said that he was so interested in it
because he was mad at god
and that satanism
it was offering freedom
and a promise to control his life and control
others that’s what really lured him in
the thing that sean
felt he lacked most in life
was control
over himself and his environment
at his age his life
could be and was easily uprooted and
at any moment
you know by his parents
and he just
loathed them
for that practicing satanism
would become like a normal
thing for sean in his day to day life
at this time he’s also playing
dungeons and dragons
and some articles
try to say that
like inspired him even more to get into satanism
but sean said
in a blog post
that it was not the
dungeon and dragons that
got him into it it was just something that people were
using to like feed the narrative
so i’m just saying that because if you
heard that you’re like when i’m out dungeons
and dragons
he said it wasn’t
dungeons and dragons
so at this time
shawn he’s into satan
cool so he’s a sophomore in high
school at this time
and shawn said that he
would bring
small vials of blood
like wear it
around his neck
and then throughout the day in
class he would
drink the blood so he turned into like that kid
maybe he didn’t have that kid in your
class but there
was like one of
those you know
drinking blood
not judging
but i can’t imagine that’s good for you
i don’t know anyway so he’s doing that
shawn said that satanism
taught him that he could make
own rules to live by in life
and the rituals
of it would
allow him to take his control
back and sean’s knowledge on satanism grew
because he was just reading anything and
everything he possibly
could about the topic and
and he said that he
would participate in various satanic rituals
more and more
often what he didn’t see coming though
was the side
effects that came
along with this
yes side effects
over time sean
started having strange problems as he called them
he said that he was hearing
voices in his head but he was hearing
voices in his head from a
young age but
these voices seemed to amplify
and would soon
sound very different than
how they once had
he said that
these voices were
demons and they urged him to do the
things that he wanted done
whatever that means you know i
think most people
would be like oh there’s a
demon in me
i need to get it out but
not sean nene
he would say that
these voices didn’t
scare him at all it just
solidified the idea that sean was doing something
right he’s communicating with
these demons
soon after sean realized that the demon
voices were showing up in his mind more
and more and he said that he
began having
blackout periods in which
like a light
switch of his
awareness would be
flicked off for a period of time and he just
wouldn’t have any memory
of like what happened
after these
blackouts shawn
could not remember what he had been doing exactly
he said that
he felt like his mind was like constantly jumbled
he couldn’t
calm the voices
down he couldn’t calm the thoughts down he couldn’t
focus on anything
and these voices
were actually
becoming more
of a serious problem for him
so at first the
voices aren’t
bothering him he’s kind of like oh yeah it’s
proving to me that i’m on the
right track
but i guess the
voices just keep
going on for so long and it’s
becoming such a problem for him that he goes to his mom
and he tells her like mom
i’m hearing
these voices in my head and i
think that i’m
going crazy
this is what he tells his mom
mom is a dumbass and she’s like oh okay
she assumed he was just being a
teenage boy just
going through
those normal
teenager hormonal changes you know
the ones where you hear
demons and such
teens so she
doesn’t do anything
with this information she’s like oh you’re crazy okay
get in line
sure so sean
finds that to be a little bit frustrating because
he feels as if his mom is not taking him seriously
cause she’s not so he ends up
going to two different teachers
and he tells
these teachers like i’m hearing
things i’m just not feeling
right like something’s not
right but these two teachers
also didn’t do anything with the information that
he gave them
he was trying to get
somebody to help him
i’m laughing because it’s uncomfortable
right like this poor guy i don’t know what i
would do so at
school sean
did have a friend his name was richard howard
and he ends up telling his friend richard at
school he’s like
i’m having these really just
dark morbid thoughts
about doing really
awful things
and his friend richard
now he was a little nervous at
first to tell richard because he could
scare him away
right like if your friend tells you i’m
thinking about
some really dark shit
you might be a little
scared i don’t know
so richard’s
listening to this and instead of like offering
any type of advice or anything
richard tells sean
that he needs to embrace the thoughts
and that these thoughts aren’t
bad they’re actually cool because i have them too
this is what richard’s telling sean richard tells sean
i too am interested in satanism
i’ve always had
these dark thoughts and
they’re powerful
let’s keep em
richard he too was deep into the darkness
sean said that
richard was way more evil than he had ever been
and that richard was the one who
initiated a lot of
their evil discussions that
they had between the two of them instead of talking
about whatever
teen boys talk
about sports
love interest or what i don’t know what boys talk
about but sean
and richard
would discuss
potential crimes that they want to commit
they would go into like
great detail
about different murders and robberies
they wanted to commit and then they
would talk about
how they wanted to rape
certain people before killing them
in a later interview sean
would say that like all of
these discussions
this conversation they were all hypothetical
they weren’t like serious
about it it was just for fun
they were using
their imagination
he also said that the two of them
never had any real intent to commit
these crimes they just thought that
these stories
would be cool to do
over time though
their friendship it grew pretty damn dark and
their chaps just became more and more serious like they
weren’t choking around anymore
according to sean richard
absolutely hated his girlfriend’s father
whose name was al
hawkes now richard
found out that this guy al
had beaten his
daughter over an argument
and left her heavily bruised so richard
tells shawn like hey you know
maybe we can borrow one of my grandpa’s guns
and use that to murder
al hawke together
wouldn’t that be fun
now it didn’t take much
convincing for shawn to then agree
sean mentioned that
he did want to like offer some sort of sacrifice that
would grant him
power in the
afterlife with
satan you know
so he’s like yeah
we should do that in
order for the two of them to feel
equally accomplished
that evening
richard said that he
would only kill l
after sean killed someone else first
that way they’re even you know
the two went back and forth trying to decide who
would be their
first target finally
richard suggested that
shawn killed the
night shift cashier at the
local circle k
now at this
point shawn didn’t really care who his victim was
i just wanted to know what it felt like to kill
the circle k cashier his name was
robert bauer
he almost always worked the midnight
shift during the week
and richard he
would usually stop by that circle k location
on his way home from seeing his
girlfriend most nights
richard said that him and the circle k cashier
robert they were like friendly with one another
but there was
one time when richard was trying to buy a beer
mind you he’s 16
so like he’s not
that’s not gonna happen
he thought that robert
and him were cool
and that robert
would allow him to get
beer but instead
robert told him
no and this was enough
for robert to move to the top of the boys kill list
because they couldn’t get beer
it’s not funny but it’s like oh my god really yes
really so on that very same
night richard
planned on killing al
hawk the two of them went to the circle k
store first
so when the two of them
arrived they went inside
and they talked
to the cashier
robert bauer for some time
they first purchased some fountain
drinks and some
snacks and they were kind of
stalling until the perfect moment came
the teenage boys
asked different questions
about the security measures inside the
store they’re asking him like hey
where are the cameras at you
guys have any cameras here do you have a gun behind the
counter and most of the answers were like no
we don’t have that
they didn’t have cameras no gun
robert told the boys that he had
never been robbed before
and that the cash register only
would carry 50
cash all day so it was like he was sure nobody
would ever kill him
for 50 cash
and for the most part that was true
but sean wasn’t interested in the
money he just wanted somebody to kill
so sean said that he exited the store
and he walked out to the
truck where he got the revolver that they had
gotten from the back seat of the
truck sean said for a moment he like really he
stood outside and he was
thinking like i don’t
think i can actually do this like i don’t
think i’m actually capable of killing somebody
and then sean said that
that light switch and his head
flicked and these
voices just
flooded in telling
him that he needed to stop being a coward
and that he just needed to go do it so once
sean got back into the
store robert
was up in his spot behind the
counter and then richard was walking up and down the
aisles pretending to
look for snacks
and richard held up a product a
random product from the
shelf and was like
hey how much is this
and robert’s back was towards him
so he turns around and when he turns around standing
right there was sean holding a gun
to robert’s face
like nothing was really sad
it was just sean
shoots the gun
luckily he misses
and robert is trying to get away
but sean keeps
shooting and keeps missing
there’s like
a struggle really goes on for a little bit of time it’s
sad and then shawn
shoots again
which at that last shot
is when it hits
and kills robert
for no damn reason to like
according to
sean the two boys they run out they hop into richard’s
truck and they
sped off laughing
that’s what he said
they were laughing at what they had just done
their adrenaline was just
pumping and
sean couldn’t believe that like he actually did it
and for some reason
they decided not to go to al hox
and commit the
second murder
i don’t know why sean
also in interviews
could not remember exactly why they decided to abandon
their original plan
yeah they just
didn’t go they didn’t really mind it too much i
think they were just so high on
their adrenaline
they were i don’t know sean was
excited because he had just committed his first
first murder
his first real satanic sacrifice ooh
it wasn’t long
after that they had
found robert bauer
the circle k cashier
there were no leads
to the murder of
robert bauer
there were no suspects in mind no evidence no cameras
it was just one big mystery
who would want this innocent
hard working man dead now when sean read the paper
with the news in it saying that they had no leads and
stuff he said that he was feeling
relieved but most of all he was feeling invincible
like he could get away
with anything
well not long
after this first murder sean got himself a girlfriend
oh it was more than just a
girlfriend it was love he was in love love
shawn was dating a 15 year old girl
named angel
who went to the same
school as shawn and that’s how they met
she would go on to drop out of school
she was considered a difficult teen
she just seemed like she was up to no good
that’s really
all that’s how they described her i don’t know
but sean’s parents they did not like this relationship
and sean really just didn’t seem to care
we’re in love mom sean’s mom vonda
she did not like
angel okay and she
would often
bad mouth her in
front of sean
she would call her a slut or a whore
reminding her of what a
loser she was his
mother was doing
everything she possibly
could to try and convince
sean that they needed to
break up and that it was for his
own good but sean was not willing to give up the one
thing that was making him
happy in oklahoma
this girl angel
eventually shawn
could no longer handle
wei’s mom was
verbally abusing both him
and his girlfriend she’s only 15 years old lady
like back the fuck up you know that’s not your just
no she had no like
motherly instinct towards
shawn in all of this
just building up inside of him
and sean said that the
voices inside of his head were giving him a nudge
telling him that sean
knew what he needed to do oh and he did it
in the evening of
march 5th 1986
well sean’s parents were in the
other room sean crept into
their bedroom
opened up his stepfather’s nightstand
and inside that’s
where he kept his 44
revolver so sean
gets the gun puts it into his
waistband the
jeans that he’s wearing
and he slowly like walks back to the bedroom
hoping not to make a peep
and let his parents know that he’s
stealing their gun
so he makes it back to his bedroom and he
closes the door
and he’s just waiting there he’s waiting in his room
until he knows how his parents are
going to sleep
sean said that
while he’s waiting
for his parents to like go to the room
he stripped down all like into his
black underwear
and performed one of his
rituals out of my own curiosity i was
trying to figure out what was this ritual he was doing
cause i was like what
are you doing but i couldn’t figure it out he didn’t
and before stepping out of his room
sean convinced himself that he wasn’t committing murder
he was just
removing an obstacle
from his way
he hears his parents go to bed
and he waits a little bit he does this little ritual
and he’s in his
underwear still
he creeps back
into his parents room with the gun in his hand and
he said that he made the last
minute decision
to kill his stepfather
first so he gets
right next to his stepfather lee and he
points the gun at his head and he
shoots yeah
and then of course the gunshot
woke wanda right up
right so she
shoots up and then shawn
shoots a couple of times
and then kills his mom
shawn said that he
fired a couple of shots
afterwards just to make sure you know can’t have him be
alive and he killed them
shaun said that
after killing them the
voices left and he then had no memory
or no idea of what he had just done
which even though like
later on he goes into
great detail
about the murders but also he
doesn’t remember
blackout like sure
afterwards sean went around the
house and he’s trying to just like mess
everything up destroying just
everything he
could to make it look like
an intruder
came into the family home and killed his parents
so that’s his goal he’s like
knocking stuff over
eh you know
and afterwards
sean calls up his friend he tells them like what a
great job he did he went on to say that he
stood there in his
under shorts
while firing the shots
so no blood
would spatter
and be discovered on his
clothing and he thought like he was a
genius because of this
telling his friend he’s like yeah
look what i did
smart the friends probably like oh my god wow genius
so police were called out to the family home and it was
clear to police that
night that this was all a setup
sean had killed his parents the way that he was out
acting the way that the
house was perfectly messed up
there was no
actual signs of there being an intruder nothing was
taken all their jewelry
their money
their tvs and
stuff like nothing was
taken the police knew like nene
this is real
suspicious sean said that he left the gun on the
floor to make it look like the intruder like
dropped his weapon
but like the gun had his fingerprints on it
so sean just really
was an idiot here
i was trying to figure out what exactly it was that the
police knew it was sean
like was it the way he was acting or something
but i really couldn’t find
the information as to
but sealed it at the family home
i just was reading different articles that said
he was acting
funny the house looked
not like an intruder came in and
stuff and then he was arrested or whatever
and like that’s really all i
could find so sean was arrested like
right after the discovery
of his parents murder when news
broke of the case
his entire community was dumbfounded this
young 16 year old kid had murdered his parents in cold
blood and more than that
now here was the really
shocking part because he
claimed to have done it because the
demon said that he should
now this was a christian
community okay this is a christian community the
devil is in our town
they are losing it
they are losing it
the christian community
especially was
using this to show
like he became the poster boy
look what can happen if your
child goes to the dark side
look what can happen
when your kids play
dungeon and dragons
they were running with the
dungeon and dragons
thing even though sean said that it wasn’t
dungeon and dragons they were
using this to try and get
dungeon and dragons shut down
they called it the
devil’s board game
so the narrative was kind of it was getting
changed it became like let’s ban
dungeon and dragons for a
while whatever it became a mess
so remember
shawn’s friend richard
well richard
who was with
shawn at the time of the murder of
robert powers
he too was initially
charged with
first degree murder but the
state would end up dismissing the charge and
recommended that he give a five year suspended sentence
in exchange for testimony
against sean so richard
being he’s like okay
i’ll testify
during shawn’s
trial a psychiatrist testified saying that
shawn was incapable
of forming the intent
necessary to commit
first degree murder
because he was
either insane or legally
unconscious
at the time of all
three killings
the jury was not told
that sean was only 16 at the time of the
crime but instead
jurors were
asked to decide whether his
age was a mitigating factor
so the judge did not
allow the defense to introduce
expert testimony
that juveniles are developmentally different to adults
because the
judge said that all jurors
they would know that anyway
so shaun is only 16
and nobody was allowed to tell the jurors
that a 16 year old
isn’t the same as a
grown adult
because according to the
judge the jurors
already knew this
but the prosecution was
focusing on sean
being an adult
when he picked up that gun
that he acted like a man
and he’s going to have to
stand up there like a man
because he made this
adult man decision
to murder because he picked up this gun
he should be
charged as a man because he was acting like one
and a lot of people agreed
with that and i was like i don’t know you guys but
well eventually sean was convicted of
first degree murder
and it was concluded that he was a continuing
threat to society
now because he was considered
a continuing threat
on october 1986
sean sellers was sentenced
to death now here’s
where the hot debate
comes in because
shawn at the age of 17
was sent to
death row in prison
as he waited for his execution
shawn had a
spiritual awakening
and he would end up converting to christianity
so shaun’s friends
started a website on his behalf
and they were campaigning for a clemency
based on his religious conversion his age
and involvement in satanism
while on death row
sean made numerous appearances
in the media
he was on the oprah winfrey show
he was on a pretty notorious segment on geraldo
which was about
satanism and it was just like controversial
for this time
and he also appeared
shawn in many documentaries
about satanism
and serial killers for 48
hours msnbc
and the a and e network
so he was making his rounds
sean but he was
going around telling everybody that satanism
made him commit
these crimes
but now that he was a christian
he knew what he did was
wrong and christianity
saved his life
which is fine
right you’re allowed to say that but
it had people kind of feeling a certain way
like was he being sincere
or was he talking
about this because like
he didn’t wanna die he wanted to get off of death row
sean’s step siblings
they refused to believe that his conversion
was sincere
they thought he was doing it so he
wouldn’t get put down
prison officials
they did not believe that he had converted
except for one guy
it was the prison chaplain
he believed that shaun was telling the
truth that he
found god and was a
changed man
so this kind of had people feeling
confused because
sean was making his way
around talking
about how god
saved his life how he’s a
changed man he’s a christian now and
he loves the
bible in summary and
the christian community some were
standing behind him
pastors and
stuff they believed
him and they were like you know we have to stand by
our christian brother
but there were
other christians who were like but he murdered
three people so
it was like
creating some kind of
wedge in the christian community too
so the days are going by
and shawn’s
execution date is
creeping up closer
and closer and
shawn is trying
senselessly
to get his case appealed
even a couple of days before his
execution he was
begging for his case to be overturned stopped
something but all of
shawn’s appeals were denied
it was creating
like a hot debate because a lot of people
were like okay he was only sixteen when he committed
these murders like he shouldn’t be on
death row we shouldn’t be killing kids
but then the
other side of people are like
he killed three people
it doesn’t matter
once a killer always a killer
put him down
people didn’t know how to feel
about this one
and death row
it’s a very slow process you sit there forever
so sean sat on death row
until february 4th 1999 and he was now
29 years old
so now he’s
29 years old and a lot of people are like well
should he be
put down for the
crime that he committed
when he was only 16 years old you know like he’s
grown he’s changed
he says he’s changed
the christian community
heard sean’s cries
and believed that he had
changed and some were
fighting for his freedom
others really didn’t know what to
think because he was a murderer and this is america
and you know how america feels
about murderers
so the crimes that sean had committed everyone could
agree they were
absolutely horrible tragic
awful but his punishment
was a bit much
that’s what the
people are saying
at this time oklahoma had
never executed a prisoner for a
crime committed
when they were
under 18 years old
but the show must go on
so sean got to pick his last meal
as all prisoners usually do
right but his last meal if
you are curious like myself he had chinese food he got
sweet and sour
shrimp he got
fried shrimp and
and he was on his way to be executed
which he was on february 4 1999
at 12 17 am
shawn died by lethal injection
into his arms
five minutes beforehand
during the last
five minutes of his life it was said that
shawn sang christian songs before saying
here i come father
i’m coming home
and then shawn
turned to the
warden looked him in the eyes and said let’s do it gary
let’s get it on
shawn’s last words were a prayer he made
quite the exit
and then the switch in
shawn seller’s mind was officially
flicked off for the last
time sean was the first and
still remains the only person
executed in the united
states for a
crime committed
under the age of 17
since the reinstatement of the death
penalty in 1976
now in 2005
the us supreme
court decided that it was
unconstitutional
to execute an
individual for a
crime committed
under the age of
18 therefore
you can’t execute someone who commits an
awful crime
under the age of 18
and that my friends is a very sad
story about sean sellers
don’t get me
wrong what he did was
awful absolutely
awful he killed
three people he took
three people
i don’t know
about his parents
because his mom
sounded like the absolute devil
and to be fair like i’m not here trying
to justify murder at all but okay that one makes sense
but i’m saying like the gas station
robert bauer
like innocent man he died and he did not deserve that
right what shaun
did was awful
i just don’t know how i feel
about executing someone under the
age of 18 like that is really sad
but he murdered
three people
so it is a really i don’t know
just a wasted life honestly
because of sean’s case though
the us supreme
court stepped in
and passed a law saying that you can’t execute anyone
under the age of eighteen
which i think is good
i don’t freaking know
i don’t know i don’t like to play god i don’t like to
say when someone
should die with someone
should not i just
i don’t know some people deserve the
death penalty
truly and then sometimes i’m like man
just let them rot in prison that’s
worse than the
death penalty
in my eyes you know
but i don’t
freaking know
i’m so torn on the
death penalty it’s a
weird one the
death penalty is so strange
oh my god i just thought of something do they have the
death penalty in other
countries i didn’t even
think about that i know some
countries do for sure but it’s not a
thing everywhere huh or is it
i don’t know but i have to google that one anyways
thank you guys so much for hanging out with me
today i hope you
have a wonderful rest of your day you make good choices
and i’ll be seeing you guys later
