Episode 41: Robbie Hawkins

This week we've moved from 1990's: The Deadliest Decade. We know, we're sorry! But for the love of god and all that is holy we had to move on.  

On this episode Jeff covers Episode 1 of Evil Lives Here: What happened to Robbie. It explores the concept of nature vs. nurture-- are psychopaths born that way or is it their environment?

Robbie Hawkins at a young age was demonstrating violent behaviors and soon his father and step mother found themselves institutionalizing him at the age of 4.   In and out of group homes his whole life, Robbie's behavior never seemed to improve or change, from drawing photos of his step mother being hung, to telling others that he had plans to stab her in her sleep.   His father kept turning a blind eye to Robbie's behavior, giving excuses and not understanding how his sweet son could be so horrid.   

Soon Robbie committed a heinous violent act leaving 8 people dead. How could no one see this coming?  Were there signs others should have seen? Could this violent act could have been stopped? 

Listen in and find out what we think about Robbie Hawkins!
