(00:46):
a week. Hello, my demon insiders, and
welcome back to the Demon Inside.
I'm your host, John Venom, and today we are going to be talking
about the demon inside KendricksJ White.
(01:09):
Now before I do that, I'm going to send out a couple of shout
outs. I'm going to send the first one
out to Miguel, who is a sales manager here at Nissan where I
work at in San Antonio. And the second one is to my
friend Charlene, who actually lives in the Philippines.
And she's been listening for some time and I keep forgetting
(01:30):
to send her out a shout out. So this is your shout out and
let's get back to the case. One student dead, three other
students seriously hurt. New information about today's
deadly stabbing attack on the UTAustin campus from classmates of
the accused attacker. But if I had been there like I
(01:51):
was planning to, maybe I could have reason with him.
So much has developed in just the last 30 minutes.
What was initially shock is now giving way to grief, and
students have reached out to us with new details about the
stabbing suspect, Kendricks White, a biology major at UT.
Our team coverage begins with KXA and Alyssa Gourd.
Alysa, you spoke with a student who shared a biology class with
(02:15):
White. Shannon Josh Anderson said that
it wasn't until the photos of the suspect came out on social
media that he realized it was actually someone who he'd sat
next to in class and known the whole semester.
Now Josh Anderson also said thatKendricks White was on a pre
health track, which he says can be stressful.
And when Kendricks told him lastweek that he had a lot going on
(02:35):
outside of class, taking his mind off of academics, Anderson
said he didn't think too much ofit.
But now he wonders if there could have been a connection.
Anderson says that all semester White has been nice and hard
working. It doesn't make sense that the
guy he talk to in biology could be behind this kind of attack.
He's amiable, like completely friendly, not the quiet kid in
(02:55):
the back of the class, not the person stereotyped into this
kind of thing, not at all. He is very nice.
He doesn't have any kind of disdain toward anybody, like
any, any kind of Greek life or anything.
No, he's just nice to everybody.And it seemed completely out of
the blue. Another thing that Josh Anderson
said to me about the photos thathe saw of Kendricks White being
(03:17):
arrested, those the bandana thatKendricks is wearing there.
Josh said that the bandana was something that he wore
regularly, but the knife that was on Kendricks's side, Josh
said he'd never seen that before.
Reporting live from the UT campus.
Shannon will send it back to youin the studio.
Alyssa, thank you. Here's what else we know about
White. His Facebook account shows he
graduated from Killeen High School in 2014.
Travis County records show he was arrested and charged with
(03:40):
DWI on April 4th of this year. The arrest affidavit says White
crashed at the corner of Whitis and Dean Keaton.
When an officer spoke to White, he said he took 2 happy pills,
which were listed as Zoloft. Now bear with me for a minute.
This news footage was taken 30 minutes after the incident
(04:05):
happened and they're talking to a friend of Kendricks.
And Kendricks, of course, is a nice guy.
This guy was saying that there'sno way possible this he could
have done this. What caught me was this.
He said that if he would have been there, maybe he would have
tried to reason with him or try to talk to him.
(04:29):
Kendricks is not a violent, mean, horrible, criminal person.
If this guy thought that he could talk to him, then
obviously this is somebody that was a nice guy.
(04:50):
Because I mean, you get people that say, oh, he was always
acting weird. I would never approach him.
He was a scary guy, but not Kendricks.
Kendricks was an approachable nice guy and his friend or the
(05:11):
person that knows him said I would have reasoned with him and
he thinks that would have been enough.
Now, let me talk to you about this too, before I continue.
I did a lot of research on this and I, I go through all kinds of
news feeds and videos and all kinds of things.
(05:32):
I try to find Facebook comments and just everything and anything
I can find I will try to find. And there's a lot of comments
about why was he walking around with a knife and, you know, he
shouldn't have been carrying it.Here's the thing about Texas,
and this isn't about Kendricks. This is more about the state of
(05:55):
Texas. Guys, I've lived here my whole
life almost. And in the state of Texas,
everybody carries a knife. My sons, both of them carry
knives. My daughters carry knives.
Even at universities, people carry knives or open gun carry.
(06:19):
You can walk around into a convenience store with a gun on
your hip. So it's not uncommon for
somebody to have a knife on the university's campus.
So with that being said, let me continue on.
Let me go ahead and give you hishistory before we go too far.
(06:44):
So as she said on the interview or in the news footage, he
graduated from Killeen, TX, which is in 2014 and his parents
were both in the military. He was raised good.
(07:05):
This is a family that is very spiritual, very religious, very
close, loving family. So now what I'm going to do is
I'm going to play you a audio that was an interview on TV from
Jennifer Bauer, who is a reporter for KPRC 2 News in
(07:29):
Houston. And she is probably the only one
that got an interview with him. And I'm going to be playing that
interview throughout this episode because this is coming
straight from Kendricks and thishappened on May 9th that she did
(07:50):
the interview and he remember the incident happened May 1st of
2017. So we're talking about 8 days
later. And some people are saying that
he did this interview so that hecould plead insanity, but it's
not the way I look at it. It's for me.
(08:15):
This guy is going to give you what he saw during the
stabbings, and I believe it. But before we do that, I'm going
to play a little bit of his background that he talks about.
So the next voice you're going to hear, it's going to be
Kendricks and take a listen to this.
(08:39):
I grew up in Colleen taxes for amajority of my life, but because
of being in the military, I moved from Colleen to Hawaii to
Virginia, a little California tomeet some family over in the
West. And then I moved back to Colleen
and I stayed there until I movedto Austin.
When I moved to Colleen growing up, it was pretty, I was
(09:00):
overweight growing up and it made me, I was made fun of a lot
and it just kind of it was something that I deal with.
I mean, I was people just had their opinions about people and
I was just one of the negative opinions and I eventually was
able to look past it and play football.
Some good people met some good friends.
I was not really that depressed,but I was still depressed and it
(09:20):
was something that I kind of worked through.
Eventually I, I got counseling and I was assaulted in my mom.
It was weird because it happenedand I was like looking around.
No one helped me. It was, I felt like weird and I,
I didn't really know what to do in this moment just because like
it was three people against me. One of them was like twice my
(09:40):
size and about 5 inches tall andthe other one was like a
ringleader little white dude. He was about 5-6 and it was just
that incident may push me back alot.
Like I had to get counseling, see a see a therapist about
everything. And I felt unsafe for a little
for a while and then eventually stop playing football.
And then in college, I lost a lot of weight because of the
(10:01):
bariatric surgery. And then my parents, they were
all really great benefactual benefactors in my life.
They always keep pushing me up. I didn't think that they were
ever really making fun of me or any of any sort.
They were always pushing it likeand do well in school.
I did pretty well in high school, did pretty well in
elementary school and middle school.
It was honestly, as I said, it was pretty easy in certain
(10:23):
states just because like Virginia was a little ahead,
which was great because in Georgia, when I, I didn't say
Georgia, Georgia was awful for me.
It was probably one of the most troublesome experiences.
I saw dead body, saw a prostitute.
I saw it all like it was, it waspretty, pretty, pretty gruesome.
And then it was, it was in the ghetto, you could say.
(10:44):
But I mean, it was just what it was.
And eventually the past is I hada racist teacher that kind of
like, OK, all the Hispanics stand up, all the whites stand
up, all the black stand. It was just really weird.
That's how they broke Hall, which was I don't even really
know why they did that. But that was that was just one
year of my life. And I just kind of passed it.
(11:05):
And from Georgia, I went to Texas.
And then, yeah, my parents were great.
My dad was always deployed because of military.
And it kind of maintained a little bit angsty for me because
then we grew up with a father figure that much.
But I always knew he left me. Obviously he was there.
My mom, she was always the one that was taking care of me and
she was, she was probably the most influential person I could
(11:26):
ever experience with my life. She showed me everything.
She started praying with me and all that's really the only thing
that gets me through this is prayer.
So now we're going to get to thespecifics of what happened that
day. And I found a lot of articles.
I couldn't get the actual policereport, but more or less what
(11:49):
ended up happening was they caught him on video camera on
campus where he looked normal. He was walking around and he
walked across the street to another building on campus and
he saw a student who he approached and stabbed once and
(12:13):
that student hit the ground and that's the student that passed
away. But Kendricks kept walking and
he stabbed 3 more people. Now he wasn't trying to pick
anyone at I mean this was totally random.
(12:34):
It wasn't like he was stalking anybody.
He wasn't running. He didn't seem to be bothered by
anything. He didn't.
If I stabbed somebody, I would be freaking out.
I would try to get away. I would run away.
I would do whatever it took to not go to jail or to get caught.
(13:00):
But Kendricks was just walking as if nothing.
And you're going to hear on the recording exactly what he saw
and how he felt. And then we'll talk about that
as soon as that is completed. So take a listen to what he,
(13:26):
from his perspective, happened. OK, well from my perspective, I
went to campus for the I missed class that day.
At the beginning of the day, I listened to a little 432 Hertz
music where we keep going and then grabbed a little bit of the
(13:47):
Bible and then a little I was texting a few of my friends and
it felt a little off, especiallyone of my friends, Isaac
Wendessen, and it just felt a little weird like he felt like
he had a little malicious intentwith me and he wouldn't tell me
where we were staying. He ignored me for like 2 weeks
and I was just feeling a little a little froggy with meeting
(14:08):
him. Basically went on campus and I
walked around a little bit. I went to the Union building and
I went through campus looking for him.
He wasn't there there. And then I went through the the
whole building and not the wholebuilding like on property.
(14:29):
They just went through it and then went through the main the
main hall of building and I walked around for a little bit
just kind of enjoying the audience.
It was weird because no one was like noticing like no one
someone saw me or I should say like I would like wait, like
look at people and smile and no one was like even acknowledged
me. I thought that was, I feel like
(14:51):
weird about the human experiencehere.
I feel like if you, if you see someone, you kind of like look
at them. And I was like, OK, I've been
feeling like things like that for like a week.
And then I, I had my knife and Iwas feeling a little like, like
I said froggy because I know a lot of my friends carry guns and
then open carry on campus. I was feeling like I should be a
little bit more protected because it seemed like I was
(15:11):
either a threat or not to see me.
And then I was going through a campus and I actually ran into
someone and I asked them like ifit's like I bumped into them.
I just said something about Jesus and then and he looked at
me and he said what the hell? And I was like looking around.
I stood there and he didn't evenacknowledge my presence.
He just, I guess he felt like from his respect, if he just
fell down, he didn't even look at me.
(15:31):
And I was like, OK. And then I just kept going.
And then I went on campus some more around the Gregory Jim.
And then I ran into someone, he said, what the heck?
And I just kept going. I pulled out my knife because I
was like my heart started beating really fast and no one
moved. And then I like struck a table
and then no one, no one acknowledged that I did that.
(15:53):
And it kept going on with the conversation.
And then everything is like, I guess froze and I kept playing
and then everyone ran away. I thought maybe it was because
of me. And I was like, oh, maybe I did
do something and I had like a gap in my respective because I
do have apparently epilepsy. And then I kept going to to the
gesture. I put the knife down and then I
was arrested. So now we get into his responses
(16:19):
after he was arrested, and this is to the police officers that
were there on scene. And he agreed after his rights
were acknowledged to answer questions and he thought that
the accusations were pushing someone down and he thinks he
(16:42):
used a bladed weapon but he wasn't sure.
Now, here's the thing. He says in the interview that he
was hearing voices, but he didn't get too elaborate on
that. But he did say this to the
officer that arrested him. And after they read him his
rights, he said that he was hearing voices and the voices
(17:06):
told him to say this. And I quote, tell the truth and
withhold any action because it really didn't happen.
End Quote. So the voices told him that he
didn't do anything wrong and that's why he didn't fight the
(17:27):
police. He didn't try to run.
He didn't try to do anything. So now where did the voices come
from? Now he says that they had
started a couple of weeks earlier.
So now we're going to go back because I know on the news feed
(17:48):
you guys heard that he had gotten ADUI and they took him
for a mental evaluation because Michael was claiming to be Jesus
Christ. So what I think this is is the
(18:08):
start or maybe it had already started, was his mental
disability, his schizophrenia that might be acting up, but
these demons use that to their advantage.
I believe that him having an accident a month earlier could
(18:32):
have either hit his head. Maybe it had an effect on him
because there's been cases wheresomeone has head trauma and
their whole personality changes.Now with that being said, that
could be a possibility for his mental state.
(18:57):
Here's what bothers me is when he first starts talking he says
that he was listening to music which is the 432 Hertz
frequency. Now if those of you have never
heard of this, what it is, is it's music that is supposed to
(19:18):
provide spiritual and body healing.
For me. This could be the entry that
this demon needed to get into him.
Now, a lot of you are going to have a hard time with this.
(19:39):
I'm having a hard time with this.
But on the last episode with Michael Yigagu, we talked about
how a spiritual religious book that is meant for self healing
and for self improvement was actually brought.
(20:02):
By a culture that practiced sacrifices to a deity.
Now with this music, and we've talked about this before, where
your mind opens to the possibility of maybe outer body,
(20:26):
out of body experiences or possibly it allows something in,
at least for that time. Now, like I said, I've already
established or I've already toldyou that I don't think he was
100 percent, 100% possessed, butI do believe that something got
(20:50):
in him which clouded his eyes, his ears, his mouth, whatever,
so that he couldn't see or hear what he was doing.
He remembers walking around. He remembers the guy falling
down, but he doesn't remember the stabbing.
(21:14):
Could this be a demon that is closing his eyes and showing
Kendricks something other than what he's doing and then at the
end of it these voices are demonin his head is telling them give
(21:35):
yourself up. You didn't do anything wrong,
you're fine. I believe this demon took over
and stabbed these kids. Now, again, like I tell you all
the time, we are responsible forwhat we do.
(21:59):
This kid, Kendricks also believes that he doesn't believe
that he stabbed anybody because in his eyes and his mind, he
didn't do it. And people are complaining that
he doesn't sound too sorry aboutit.
But think about this. If somebody accused you of a
(22:20):
crime that you didn't commit, how would you sound?
He's confused because they're telling him and probably show
them videos of him doing it. And to him, this is craziness
because he didn't see any of that.
(22:42):
All he saw was what the demon showed him.
So that's why when he's talking,sometimes he sounds like he's
giggling or laughing or not laughing, but just kind of
nervousness because he is sayingmaybe I did do this, I don't
(23:08):
know. Now, on the interview, he also
talks about if he did do this, then he should pay the price.
He says that they're talking about a death penalty sentence.
They're talking about life imprisonment.
And he says that if that's what he deserves, then that's what he
deserves. He's not coming on the interview
(23:31):
saying I want to take an insanity plea.
He does mention that he does have mental disability.
He says that he has epilepsy. And he doesn't deny any of this.
Now as far as the accident that happened which I was going to
(23:56):
tell talk to you about about a month earlier he had a car
accident and he supposedly took 2 happy pills which were Xanax.
He admits that he took them. Actually, he took different
pills, one for his epilepsy, onefor the Xanax, and he smoked
(24:23):
weed recreational. He was very truthful about that.
He didn't try to hide it and he had the car accident.
Now his family came down to support him and because he said
to the officer at that time thathe was Jesus Christ, they had to
(24:47):
evaluate him. They ended up keeping him for
about a week and then they released him.
When this happened, I don't knowif he was on Xanax, I don't know
if he was on his pills, I don't know what he was doing.
(25:08):
But for me, none of that would have mattered because this demon
was already talking in his ear. This was an infestation, and
this was a very good infestationbecause this demon allowed him
to see what it wanted him to see.
(25:32):
And could he have gotten in through the spiritual music that
was supposed to be for health and and body awareness and
whatever? Yeah, it could have.
We don't know a lot about demons.
We don't know what they can and can't do.
(25:54):
We only know what they can and can't do, either through gospel
or what the movie show. You got to remember, guys, these
things have been around way longer than humanity.
They know all the tricks. They know all the lies and they
(26:15):
know everything about us. Because remember, he was feeling
alone, like he was invisible to everybody.
And when you feel invisible, youjust want to make everybody look
at you. Could that have been the reason
(26:38):
why he stabbed people? I think the demon took advantage
of the way he felt, plus the music, plus the accident plus
the drugs, plus his mental stateand was able to do this to harm
(27:03):
other people and to kill a person.
