Full Episode
They sentenced me to 138 years with 106 suspended, so 32 active years of incarceration. So then one night, it was a few nights after the robbery, they went to his girlfriend's house or her trailer and she was pregnant sitting at home and they wouldn't leave. And they were threatening her and they were threatening him. And I swung the lock in the sock.
It hit the trash can lid and he didn't have it tied to the sock like you're supposed to. He actually had it in the sock. So the locks went flying off. So he's holding an empty sock against the guy with a shield and a sword.
Pow, pow, pow. And just bring him back in there. He's screaming. You're going to go back to what you know. In times of desperation and anxiety, you're going to go right to what you know. Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I'm here with Jesse Krausen, and he runs a nonprofit.
He did 19 years in state prison for a shooting, and also he has a YouTube channel, which he just started, which is doing great, and TikToks and all the other stuff. So check out the video. That was pretty bad. It's pretty bad, but it's fine. Nobody expects, listen, nobody watching this thing expects me to be a professional. At this point, they're past it.
So, okay, so what, well, I don't want to say what happened. Basically, let's just kind of, where were you born?
So I was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, which is where I live again now. Raised here, went to school here, and then basically took off a year before college. And that summer found cocaine and just, it was like a light switch. Like I went from being, you know, kind of coasting along and making bad decisions and not living my best life to just plummeting off the side of a cliff.
Within three months of finding a solid cocaine connect, I went from that kid taking a year off before college to driving down the road and shooting two people after an argument and then threatening me and committing a robbery to try to get more money for drugs and just completely losing myself. And then very quickly being arrested and finding myself in jail. Okay.
What, I mean, how, how did that, I don't understand how, how did that evolve so, so quickly? Like, well, how did you even start doing, you know, Coke? Like, I mean, if you're just kind of hanging out, taking off, what, just driving across the country or just hanging out or what's...
I was in Virginia. I was working a job.
