Clarity of Parole Hearings

[Phoebes]

These parole hearings videos started popping up in my YouTube and I thought it looked interesting so I watched a couple. And then a few more. At first, they were hearing of child molesters primarily, and enablers, and the victims would speak about their experience and why this person should not get parole.

I found it very interesting the way these criminals would answer the questions and state their plea for release. Their attitudes, point of view and even some exact phrasing sound just like my NM. If she had gone to jail for her abuse as she should have, she would have said the same stuff at her parole hearings.

There is a certain affirmation and satisfaction in seeing that no one was fooling the parole board, the strength of the victims voice, and how ridiculous the perps sound, when they clearly think the "poor me" things they are saying are legit. Wow. And just the denial. Some are still saying they didn't do it, or minimizing what they did dramatically. Love seeing the parole board just throw that back in their face and state the entire offense(s).

And then the commentary during and after by the YouTuber is very good. He is obviously trying to highlight the reality and truth of these situations. I don't know why I needed this right now or why I'm a bit down the rabbit hole. I've had some set back lately and got a little confused about my situation, forgetting how abusers actually think. I got a little window into NM's continuing false narrative about me, and I just have to remember that yes, she is exactly like these clueless prisoners who are still playing the victim. Perfectly fine for their victims to not have justice or throw them under the bus. It's all about THEM wanting their freedom back, nothing about their remorse or change.

I watch those videos too and they are indeed a window into what is really going on in their heads. I watch them because I absolutely love that most parole boards are not fooled and can spot an N/stalker/entitled brat now. In the past they often would be taken in by them and let them go so the perps were free to spread their joy again.

And you're right, one clue that stands out is that it is all about them no matter how much they try to win the board over with stories of how they've been harmed, how they were wronged, or how they have learned their lesson. If they don't mention those they have harmed then they don't deserve parole IMO.

Anyway, glad someone else enjoys watching these videos too, it's my guilty little pleasure.   One show that's good is "Court Cam" albeit not about parole hearings.
