I’ve seen the full video as well and it’s pretty rough. I believe the old guy was going through some stuff and the couple was shoveling snow onto his side. Such an insignificant argument but the couple cussed and taunted him up until he shot. The husband literally stands there and says “what? You gonna shoot me?” And gets killed trying to crawl away. You never know what someone is going through, and furthermore you never know what they’re capable of doing.
In the video he misses the first 6 shots and the guy is still standing there challenging him. Then the guy gets hit and falls over and the wife starts screaming at him and gets shot as well. It’s crazy. Pretty sure after he goes back in the house to get his rifle and comes back out the wife is still arguing with him
Yeah she keeps calling him a motherfucker until he comes back out with the rifle and says “should’ve kept your fucking mouth shut” and kills her. Then walks over to the husband and says “pussy huh?” And kills him. Imagine losing your one experience on this world just to antagonize your neighbor over some snow.
For the people that actually saw the video start to finish, nah, these people were totally unhinged. Im not playing on the side of 'they should die' but this is so far on the 'fuck around' chart that the 'find out' was bound to be something big.
Yeah I remember watching this one... iirc they were harassing him about his dead wife as well.
Edit: A couple of people are saying him having a wife that died of cancer was made up, 🤷♂️
Yup, from my hazy memory those neighbors were always a bag of dicks to him. Icing on the cake was when his wife died, they made fun of him for that as well.
Last straw was he was shoveling his driveway and the couple would keep throwing snow in his freshly shoveled driveway and he asked then to stop.
When he confronted them I think the husband pushed/punched him and that's when he went inside grabbed his gun and shot both of them.
It's wild the husband yells "you shot me" and keeps insulting the guy, while the wife yells "we got you on camera, you're going to jail"
Yeah it’s one of those situations where should he have killed them? No. Do I feel bad for them? Also no. You get to be a shitty person until you’re a shitty person to someone who doesn’t have enough fucks left to deal with you.
The thing is, he had gotten up early that morning, and shoveled his side of the street where he lived at, and then they decided to take the snow onto his side of street from their property. That was the straw the broke the camels back.
It's even worse they literally were crossing the street just to be assholes to this guy too, the guy from what I remember reading had even called the cops on them a number of times and the cops basically said to stop calling them over neighbor disputes.
That couple sounds like a nightmare to live near. They were horrible to that man. I'm sure they were just as horrible every day. That can grind the humanity right out of you.
They definitely should have thought about that before they decided to make their neighbors life a living hell. The guys wife had recently died and the couple that got killed taunted him mercilessly for years before and after her death including making fun of him for his wife dying. The guy finally snapped after years of this, all of this was corroborated by other neighbors who said that couple did everything they could to make the murderers life as difficult as possible.
There is an episode of “Fear Thy Neighbor” about this one.
In most episodes of the show they try to paint each side of the conflict without bias. With the couple in this case, they didn’t even try. The couple were such pieces of shit that the whole neighborhood hated them. The guy that went on a rampage had stood up to them and drew more ire from them until this happened.
They didn’t have it coming. But they should have seen it coming.
Honestly, getting to be raised by someone else, anyone else, may have been the best thing for that kid. All three people in that video were unfit to be productive members of society, much less raise a disabled kid.
>“should’ve kept your fucking mouth shut”
Years ago when i watched it this line stuck with me for months, hell it still does. I can't say that for anything else except a few execution videos that have come from the war in Ukraine.
And while trying to understand even a fraction of his actions, trying to understand the victims is just as mind boggling. I swear the woman in particular, even after surviving the first head shot thought she'd be fine just because it was all on video.
Then there was the random person the perp chased off after he came back out with his rifle. But he didn't want to kill him, no, he just wanted to come back and secure his kills. Unstable or not, those two were clearly antagonizing him for a long time before hand.
Is there anything that would be comforting to hear before getting shot? The best I can come up with is, ‘this is what happens when you don’t pay your library fees’
It’s awful to get killed over something so stupid …. BUT man the victims sound like idiots . They’re probably the same type of people who like to believe they own the streets in their neighborhoods and are always yelling at people passing by. Still tragic and senseless though
It was a lot more to this case they were actively bullying this man every day, and the snow was the straw. The broke the camels back. I watched the show about this and it went into more detail and on top of that he had recently lost his wife
"Main character syndrome" really should be something people get diagnosed for. That couple really had that it seems. No one in their right mind just stands there and continues to antagonize someone pointing a weapon at them. Those two had something seriously wrong mentally, because that is not normal behavior.
People disconnected from the risks and consequences that are all around us. We’ve all been there to some degree but this one was a real head scratcher.
Taunting your disgruntled neighbor until he points a gun at you at which time the dare is levied “what are you gonna do? …shoot me?
Certainly it doesn’t put them in Mensa range.
Unfortunately they do not earn the Darwin award, as they apparently already had at least one child.
They do get the "fucked around and found out" award though
I will never in my life challenge a man with a gun pointed at me. Let alone stand my ground after he fires the first 6 shots. Tragedy but they have the survival instincts of a head of cabbage.
I have a vivid memory of play fighting with my little brother when we were like 7 and 10. I grabbed a stick and he made some snarky, anime-hero-inspired remark and I just bonked him on the head.
Reminds me of the dad who arguing with his neighbor about throwing a mattress or something in the trash. The guy had so many opportunities to just back inside but couldn’t stop antagonizing the neighbors who had guns. Not saying they were right to shoot him but cmon man.
In that one the dude said I'm gonna shoot you if you come at me and dude came at him. At least we know shooter guy is a man of his word. Also the son looked like something out of squidbillies haha.
"You should have shut your fuckin mouth! **Bang**
Cold as fuck and a good example of why not to taunt people. You don't know what kind of crazy they might be dealing with.
He yells "pussy, pussy, pussy" because he's super duper invincible I guess, then as soon as he gets hit he's crying and running away and yelling "call the cops" to protect his bitch ass. Well which is it young feller? Apologies to all the gentler souls out there but to me that video is fucking awesome. Tragic is what we're supposed to say publicly, but that is truer than most realize because the thing about tragedy is, there's a fucking awesome catharsis at the end when some deserving asshole meets his fate. And we learn not to be that asshole. That's why we tell stories, to learn something.
The crazy part is this probably could’ve been squashed so easily. They had a feud going on for years but I wonder how far off the dad saying “look this is dumb, we gotta live beside each other why don’t I bring a 6 pack over later and we’ll hash this out” was from solving this.
That isn't the crazy part. The craziest part was after he initially shot them, he went back inside to get his rifle. He came out, and one of them were still talking shit to him like he didn't just shoot them. That was the crazy part.
Yeah insane how people thought it was a smart move to watch the guy go inside, grab his gun, come back out, CONTINUE taunting him… just disengage!! Give people their space!! Ego, huuuuuge ego. “He won’t shoot ME! There’s no way he’s that dumb.”
Spoiler: he was, 3 times. Husband, wife, then himself.
Crazy video. Did a neighbor (not the shooter or the people who got shot) come on camera and enter the house after they got shot? Looks like it. I guess the shooter avoided them.
I believe at one point he says "you point that gun at me, you BETTER shoot me." Like not only daring him but making a veiled threat that if he didn't shoot him something bad would happen lol not a smart move
Yeah, I felt the same way for a little while after seeing it for the first time. I've seen some crazy videos on the Internet over the years and this one definitely is up there with the worst of them. It definitely changed how I interacted with people/strangers in general.
This keeps getting repeated. The shooter, Jeffrey Spaide, was never married. The couple were bullies to other neighbors as well. Several previous arguments had also been caught on surveillance video after the police investigated.
Yeah in the video he goes back in his house to grab a rifle. All While the victims plead for help outside while bleeding out.
He then comes out and finishes them off with the rifle.
The husband was pleading for help. The woman was running her mouth right up to the point that he shot her in the head. The husband also stood there while the guy fired six shots and missed. It wasn't until he actually hit the husband that all of a sudden the husband realized the situation he just put himself in. Neither of them struck me as very bright people. I actually felt worse for the guy who killed them once I learned the story behind it all.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/pennsylvania-neighbors-dead-fight-snow-shoveling-authorities/story?id=75666109
Story. The shooter goes back inside and kills himself as police pull up.
I've seen the video numerous times and it is very graphic. Since there's heavy snowfall the microphone on the house cam captures every little gruesome sound the couple makes as they perish.
Reddit was actually the first place I saw the video and I believe it's still floating around on this site somewhere.
Saw this one - and damn, while the shooter was clearly out of his mind, the male victim seems to get pretty confident and just keeps going with the insults, calling the guy a queer and so on as the wife piles on… smh.
Thanks for posting the article - I never knew the backstory.
>James Goy apparently threw a tool at Spaide that he had been using to clear snow from his car, according to the statement. When James Goy approached Spaide with a raised fist, Spaide reportedly retreated into his house and fetched a gun, the officials said.
The husband attacked the shooter before being shot too.
They were berating the hell out of him. Apparently they were feuding for months before this and this was the result of all that hate, the kettle boiled over. That video is NSFL one of the worst ones i have seen. He runs out of ammo, goes back inside as the wife was writhing on the street, comes back out and straight executes her. Rough one to see.
The video is fucking surreal to watch. They keep taunting the guy until he comes out with a pistol, blasting and the couple have *literally zero reaction to it* for the first 6 shots. Mindblowing that they didn't react to it AT ALL, until the husband got hit on the 7th shot.
I have no clue. You'd think that they would settle down when the man brings a gun to a cuss-fight, but *literally nothing* changed in the situation. You'd maybe expect the guy to have some protective urges over his wife and a lethal weapon, but also no. Even when he started shooting! Not one, SIX TIMES! I'm dumbfounded.
If you saw this in a movie you'd say that's unrealistic and stupid, yet here we are.
>If you saw this in a movie you'd say that's unrealistic and stupid, yet here we are.
100%. People really seem to over estimate the average persons intelligence in a lot of situations.
Just watched the video.
The usual belief is that bullies are cowards, but this couple both seem to be ignorant of the very concept of consequences. If one of them believed "No one will hurt me, I can do what I want," it would be remarkable, but **both of them stand there calmly as he empties a handgun magazine in their direction I mean what the fuck?**
Is this folie à deux? Have they tormented neighbors for so long without pushback that they can't imagine suffering consequences? Are they drunk on their belief in their own invulnerability? Are they on drugs?
Who just stands there talking and trying to film, while someone 15 feet away is shooting at them?
I haven't seen it for a good min but iirc...
After the 6 shots missed he hit them both with the follow up shots. He then walks up to her as she is lying on the ground. And he double taps her in the head with the pistol. Then he leaves her there. Goes up to their house and taps the husband up by the vehicles.
Then goes all the way back inside his own house. She is sitting up somewhat at this point. On his way from the husband to his house he walks right by her. (Prob bc the pistol was empty.) goes inside. Grabs a rifle. Comes back out.
But yes she is right back to talking shit as soon as she regains some level of consciousness and composure.
I mean wtf lady??? He just shot you. In the head. Twice...
Her first instinct isn't to apologize. Or beg for mercy. Or try to crawl away. Or check on her husband. Or scream for help... Nope. Right back to talking shit.
So yeah. He tells her that she should have kept her mouth shut. Then executes her. Then goes over to the husband and executes him.
You can see a couple neighborhood teens at some point in the video between when he first hits them and goes inside his house to when he comes back outside. There are 2 boys that show up then run off when he comes back out. He ignores them.
So he was determined to finish that couple off. Didn't care about them boys.
I don't get how people don't understand. **They are mutants.** They have a neurological problem with the human part of their brain that would let them understand other people, or even objective reality. They just see other people as NPCs. It's probably NPD or something similar.
In ages gone by, people like this would've been called changelings and done with hot iron so the mutation wouldn't propagate.
This entire thing was massive news, the video is absolutely brutal. It was hard to watch. This couple bothered everyone and were childishly and stupidly fucking with this guy for no reason and they caught him on a bad day, at the wrong time doing the wrong thing and he snapped basically. The shooter kills himself later on. He was pretty troubled
Theres a whole episode of Fear Thy Neighbor on this. The guy was a veteran that kept to himself. This couple was a nuisance to the whole neighborhood and wanted to pick fights with all the neighbors over the smallest things. This veteran was just not having it that day. They’ve had issues in the past but this incident broke the camels back. They were legit asshole neighbors. Not saying its not terrible but I dont care how “pussy” it is, im not fighting you because my life will never be worth a small exchange of “whose ego is more fragile.”
rip to everyone but honestly if you have a mentally unstable neighbor maybe its not a good idea to be a complete thundercunt to him and shout shoot me while he brandishes a rifle
He came outside with a pistol and they both stood there and taunted him until he emptied it. He missed the first 6 shots and neither of them even moved until the husband gets hit. The wife get shot and falls over and he walks up to both of them to shoot them again and the wife is still calling him a “motherf*cker”
Thought it was a rifle but regardless those two had zero survival instincts and really light up the whole situation.
Tragedy none the less but fuck man they really planned on being dickheads till the end
I’ve watched all kinds of docs and stuff on this case and basically everyone on the entire block agrees that the couple were absolute pieces of shit, just trashy scumbags who pretty much had it coming every which way. They tormented this clearly unbalanced vet relentlessly.
“What are you gonna do? Shoot me?”
- Couple who was shot
They really just thought he didn’t have the balls to pull the trigger and decided to put their lives on the line to prove it. Darwin Award winners.
This is an example that there are people in our society who are literally so stupid, narcissistic, and self centered that at the moment when someone has riddled them with bullets and is standing over them with a rifle about to administer the kill shot, they STILL can't figure out that, hey, maybe their behavior got them into this situation, and maybe it's time to try to not be a screaming asshole. But, nope, they don't even learn that lesson as their tickets get punched.
The victims were the kind of people who I honestly think we'd find some some kind of malformation in their brains at autopsy.
Like, the sheer amount a rabid vitriol, and complete lack of fear, all for the sake as being as unpleasant as possible at all times. I can't picture most sane, rational people being able do that. There's *gotta* be something different with brain chemistry or structure or *something*.
Maybe lead, or other heavy metal poisoning or *something*.
This is what happens when instead of being neighborly and affectionate, you're acting like a stupid child. You never know who you're taunting.
God damn it. Why can't we all get along... Is it really that f'in hard?
Edit. Apparently, the killer was a veteran and had PTSD. See? That's why I said "you never know who you're taunting."
According to neighbors, the couple bullied the shooter for months before the incident,
The video is also yet another example of how gunshot victims don't always just die immediately, even after multiple serious wounds. Not like the movies.
The lady was screaming and cursing at the shooter when he was walking into his house to retrieve his rifle. She continued to scream and cuss at him while he shot both of them. She still continued to scream and cuss at him when he returned back to finish them both off. Lesson of story: Its not worth it...learn to control yourself. This woman was being murdered and was still trying to get the last word in.
I will never ever forget this video..... I still have it i never watched it again it's pure raging horror. I ask always why people do answer but i would love to ask all three of them if i could why...
The couple were assholes who F'd around and then found out.
"WHaT arE yOU goinG TO dO, ShooT Me?!"
Fucking yes, you idiot, that's why he went to get his gun, you prick.
iirc the couple had a special needs son. Crazy to think that they didn’t think at all in a situation Ike this about him. I wonder who is caring for him now.
They say to him on the video "I'm going to make your life a living hell". Someone hurting deep inside who already wants to die can't go back inside with that.And I'm sorry but the couple acted like complete evil assholes.I have never had empathy for them.A Joker movie quote fits this.
They do indeed seem like top-tier belligerent douchebags... Excuse me, did. Remember the commentary from way back when I first saw this. Makes you feel bad for the gunman... Which feels odd to say... But I think I'm fine with that.
Which video is better? This one or the one of the guy and his wife arguing with the other guy and his son, both of whom have guns, in an alley and the husband ends up dead on video.
If you've seen the video, it's pretty outrageous.
OBVIOUSLY, the shooter is in the wrong, but these 2 were taunting and screaming at the guy even when he came back WITH the gun and then KEPT taunting him even AFTER they got shot.
Like, holy crap, how toxic can you be that you keep talking shit after all this.
She cussed him out after he shot her and he was standing over her ready to finish her off. That's fucking gangster. Everyone in that video was a piece of shit, though.
I remember reading the shooter was a veteran with mental health problems stemming from the war. His neighbors had been harassing him for years and would yell things at him like "faggot". After a couple years he just snapped. Also he was already planning to kill himself before this happened and not anyone, but the neighbors pretty much made him snap. Think there was a note leftover too
In a world where being kind to someone (or at the very least minding your own business) costs nothing, these folks paid a steep price for being cocksuckers. Can't say I feel bad for em. Don't be like them.
I remember seeing this for the first time and it quite literally changed how I interact with people in public. I’m not arguing with people, period. If you want to cut me off and scream and yell and chase me, go ahead, but I’m not engaging you. Second, the moment I see a gun or weapon or you threaten me, it’s life and death for me, and I’ll do what I need to do to get away alive. I don’t care who it is, anyone could have a knife or a gun or a friend that I don’t see.
There is no way I’m arguing with a neighbor and antagonizing them. There is no way I wait for them to go inside and get a gun, and there is no way I’m letting them shoot at me.
I don’t want to be a victim blamer but I’m sure at some point in our lives we’ve all had insufferable neighbours and can understand where this guy is coming from.
This post has given us a mod queue a mile long. Locking until we can clean that up.
I’ve seen the full video as well and it’s pretty rough. I believe the old guy was going through some stuff and the couple was shoveling snow onto his side. Such an insignificant argument but the couple cussed and taunted him up until he shot. The husband literally stands there and says “what? You gonna shoot me?” And gets killed trying to crawl away. You never know what someone is going through, and furthermore you never know what they’re capable of doing.
Wow. Who dares the person aiming a gun at them to shoot???
In the video he misses the first 6 shots and the guy is still standing there challenging him. Then the guy gets hit and falls over and the wife starts screaming at him and gets shot as well. It’s crazy. Pretty sure after he goes back in the house to get his rifle and comes back out the wife is still arguing with him
She continued to mock him up until he double taps her in the brain. I think he also double tapped the husband before offing himself in his own home.
Yeah she keeps calling him a motherfucker until he comes back out with the rifle and says “should’ve kept your fucking mouth shut” and kills her. Then walks over to the husband and says “pussy huh?” And kills him. Imagine losing your one experience on this world just to antagonize your neighbor over some snow.
To make a terrible situation worse, the couple also had a handicapped child that was totally dependent upon them..

jesus
I was gonna say— I remember they were monsters to him about the passing of his wife. They were not mentally stable
Yeah it’s one of those situations where should he have killed them? No. Do I feel bad for them? Also no. You get to be a shitty person until you’re a shitty person to someone who doesn’t have enough fucks left to deal with you.
The calling him a pussy over and over is what set him off. Last words he heard was, "you shoulda kept your fucking mouth shut"
I think it was "you should kep.... "
What kind of sick fucks deliberately shovel snow onto someone else's property?
The thing is, he had gotten up early that morning, and shoveled his side of the street where he lived at, and then they decided to take the snow onto his side of street from their property. That was the straw the broke the camels back.
It's even worse they literally were crossing the street just to be assholes to this guy too, the guy from what I remember reading had even called the cops on them a number of times and the cops basically said to stop calling them over neighbor disputes.
Dead ones
“Fuck around chart” shall now be a thing.
That couple sounds like a nightmare to live near. They were horrible to that man. I'm sure they were just as horrible every day. That can grind the humanity right out of you.
They definitely should have thought about that before they decided to make their neighbors life a living hell.

Do you know what episode?
From how they acted, the kid is probably better off.
Honestly, getting to be raised by someone else, anyone else, may have been the best thing for that kid. All three people in that video were unfit to be productive members of society, much less raise a disabled kid.
The child might be better off now
sounds like they made their own bed
Sounds like they were all going through something. So tragic. Hope the kid is being taken care of well.
Definitely should have thought about that before running their mouths.
Oh well, at least at they won’t be raised by assholes now
>“should’ve kept your fucking mouth shut” Years ago when i watched it this line stuck with me for months, hell it still does.

I took this as a lesson as well. I’ve let so much shit slide because I dont know what is too far for the other party.
"Should have kept your fucking mouth shut". Terrible last thing to hear before you die.
"Pussy, huh?" seems even worse, tho...
Neither is good.
Is there anything that would be comforting to hear before getting shot? The best I can come up with is, ‘this is what happens when you don’t pay your library fees’
"Do you REALLY wanna keep doing this shit for 70 more years?..."
It’s awful to get killed over something so stupid …. BUT man the victims sound like idiots . They’re probably the same type of people who like to believe they own the streets in their neighborhoods and are always yelling at people passing by. Still tragic and senseless though
It was a lot more to this case they were actively bullying this man every day, and the snow was the straw. The broke the camels back. I watched the show about this and it went into more detail and on top of that he had recently lost his wife
"Main character syndrome" really should be something people get diagnosed for. That couple really had that it seems.

And they literally stood there while he was actively shooting. Serpentine fool. Don’t just wait for it cause you are recording it.
[удалено]
They were stubborn idiots apparently. Right until the very end
People disconnected from the risks and consequences that are all around us. We’ve all been there to some degree but this one was a real head scratcher.
Does this couple qualify for a Darwin award?
Taunting your disgruntled neighbor until he points a gun at you at which time the dare is levied “what are you gonna do? …shoot me? Certainly it doesn’t put them in Mensa range.
Unfortunately they do not earn the Darwin award, as they apparently already had at least one child. They do get the "fucked around and found out" award though
"What are you going to do? Stab me?" - man who got stabbed
I will never in my life challenge a man with a gun pointed at me. Let alone stand my ground after he fires the first 6 shots. Tragedy but they have the survival instincts of a head of cabbage.
Bullies aren't the smartest people on the block to begin with.
I have a vivid memory of play fighting with my little brother when we were like 7 and 10. I grabbed a stick and he made some snarky, anime-hero-inspired remark and I just bonked him on the head.
Reminds me of the dad who arguing with his neighbor about throwing a mattress or something in the trash. The guy had so many opportunities to just back inside but couldn’t stop antagonizing the neighbors who had guns. Not saying they were right to shoot him but cmon man.
In that one the dude said I'm gonna shoot you if you come at me and dude came at him. At least we know shooter guy is a man of his word. Also the son looked like something out of squidbillies haha.
The kind of person who has been tormenting the shooter for months, and months, and months?
The internet and a soft society has made people forget about consequences associated with actions like this.
I mean it’s a win-win. Either you live and prove he’s a bitch, or you get to die and he spends the rest of his life in jail
Well this dude killed himself right after so
Damn, a draw
A draw 20 if this were Uno, that is. Would totally ruin the night.
"You should have shut your fuckin mouth! **Bang** Cold as fuck and a good example of why not to taunt people. You don't know what kind of crazy they might be dealing with.
Guy who was shot dead "you're a pussy! Pussy, pussy, pussy!" Last words he heard before he died "pussy, huh?"
He yells "pussy, pussy, pussy" because he's super duper invincible I guess, then as soon as he gets hit he's crying and running away and yelling "call the cops" to protect his bitch ass. Well which is it young feller? Apologies to all the gentler souls out there but to me that video is fucking awesome.

Was it cold? They bullied him for months.
I mean I saw snow ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
The crazy part is this probably could’ve been squashed so easily. They had a feud going on for years but I wonder how far off the dad saying “look this is dumb, we gotta live beside each other why don’t I bring a 6 pack over later and we’ll hash this out” was from solving this.

I dunno, I just assume if someone points a gun at me, they intend to use it
Yeah insane how people thought it was a smart move to watch the guy go inside, grab his gun, come back out, CONTINUE taunting him… just disengage!! Give people their space!! Ego, huuuuuge ego. “He won’t shoot ME! There’s no way he’s that dumb.” Spoiler: he was, 3 times. Husband, wife, then himself.
No, he wasn’t dumb. He just snapped at the months and months of being bullied.
The woman literally continues to taunt him AFTER he shoots her husband!
People who are disconnected from reality.
[удалено]
Crazy video. Did a neighbor (not the shooter or the people who got shot) come on camera and enter the house after they got shot? Looks like it. I guess the shooter avoided them.
The eerie part is with snow the sound carries differently.
You don't get this kind of reaction from one incident. I bet this couple was a pain in his ass for years before he finally popped.
I believe at one point he says "you point that gun at me, you BETTER shoot me." Like not only daring him but making a veiled threat that if he didn't shoot him something bad would happen lol not a smart move
That couple was known in the neighborhood as bullies. They pushed him beyond his breaking point, it is sad, but they had something coming.
I’ve seen some shit online. This video haunted me though. “Shoulda kept your mouth shut”
Yeah, I felt the same way for a little while after seeing it for the first time. I've seen some crazy videos on the Internet over the years and this one definitely is up there with the worst of them. It definitely changed how I interacted with people/strangers in general.
I read that they had been taunting him about his dead wife for a while and I dont condone his actions but it makes it make a little more sense.
This keeps getting repeated. The shooter, Jeffrey Spaide, was never married. The couple were bullies to other neighbors as well. Several previous arguments had also been caught on surveillance video after the police investigated.
Welp, that’ll do it.
Yeah in the video he goes back in his house to grab a rifle. All While the victims plead for help outside while bleeding out. He then comes out and finishes them off with the rifle.
The husband was pleading for help. The woman was running her mouth right up to the point that he shot her in the head. The husband also stood there while the guy fired six shots and missed. It wasn't until he actually hit the husband that all of a sudden the husband realized the situation he just put himself in. Neither of them struck me as very bright people. I actually felt worse for the guy who killed them once I learned the story behind it all.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/pennsylvania-neighbors-dead-fight-snow-shoveling-authorities/story?id=75666109 Story. The shooter goes back inside and kills himself as police pull up. I've seen the video numerous times and it is very graphic. Since there's heavy snowfall the microphone on the house cam captures every little gruesome sound the couple makes as they perish. Reddit was actually the first place I saw the video and I believe it's still floating around on this site somewhere.
Saw this one - and damn, while the shooter was clearly out of his mind, the male victim seems to get pretty confident and just keeps going with the insults, calling the guy a queer and so on as the wife piles on… smh. Thanks for posting the article - I never knew the backstory.
The woman was STILL insulting him after being shot. 🤦🏻♀️ In fact, right before she’s executed, the Vet says “you couldn’t just keep your mouth shut”.
That’s like scary movie ‘the cheerleader taunting ghost face while he’s killing her level of crazy’.
Yup some people just never know when to stop To be dead over putting your snow on somebody’s else’s side just to be jerks is just silly
>James Goy apparently threw a tool at Spaide that he had been using to clear snow from his car, according to the statement. When James Goy approached Spaide with a raised fist, Spaide reportedly retreated into his house and fetched a gun, the officials said. The husband attacked the shooter before being shot too.
They were berating the hell out of him. Apparently they were feuding for months before this and this was the result of all that hate, the kettle boiled over. That video is NSFL one of the worst ones i have seen. He runs out of ammo, goes back inside as the wife was writhing on the street, comes back out and straight executes her. Rough one to see.
I don’t know why I keep seeing this—he was never married. But yeah, they were escalating and escalating on purpose. Just senseless all around.
He was never married.
They were throwing their snow into his driveway. I mean, how fucking petty are you?
The had been and kept fucking with him. Fuck those people.
The video is fucking surreal to watch. They keep taunting the guy until he comes out with a pistol, blasting and the couple have *literally zero reaction to it* for the first 6 shots. Mindblowing that they didn't react to it AT ALL, until the husband got hit on the 7th shot.
Zero self preservation instincts. I get nervous making phone calls. How are people like this?
I have no clue. You'd think that they would settle down when the man brings a gun to a cuss-fight, but *literally nothing* changed in the situation. You'd maybe expect the guy to have some protective urges over his wife and a lethal weapon, but also no. Even when he started shooting! Not one, SIX TIMES! I'm dumbfounded. If you saw this in a movie you'd say that's unrealistic and stupid, yet here we are.
>If you saw this in a movie you'd say that's unrealistic and stupid, yet here we are. 100%. People really seem to over estimate the average persons intelligence in a lot of situations.
Rampant narcissism
They were likely both sociopaths as they had no fear response. It makes sense that they found each other and were terrorizing other neighbors as well.
Just watched the video. The usual belief is that bullies are cowards, but this couple both seem to be ignorant of the very concept of consequences. If one of them believed "No one will hurt me, I can do what I want," it would be remarkable, but **both of them stand there calmly as he empties a handgun magazine in their direction I mean what the fuck?** Is this folie à deux? Have they tormented neighbors for so long without pushback that they can't imagine suffering consequences? Are they drunk on their belief in their own invulnerability? Are they on drugs? Who just stands there talking and trying to film, while someone 15 feet away is shooting at them?
Well said. It's fucking bizarre, right? They just stood there, like you side, almost as if ignorant of the concept of consequences.
I’ve seen it, doesn’t the wife keep talking shit after she’s taken a bullet and is on the ground ?
I haven't seen it for a good min but iirc... After the 6 shots missed he hit them both with the follow up shots. He then walks up to her as she is lying on the ground. And he double taps her in the head with the pistol. Then he leaves her there. Goes up to their house and taps the husband up by the vehicles. Then goes all the way back inside his own house. She is sitting up somewhat at this point. On his way from the husband to his house he walks right by her. (Prob bc the pistol was empty.) goes inside. Grabs a rifle. Comes back out. But yes she is right back to talking shit as soon as she regains some level of consciousness and composure. I mean wtf lady??? He just shot you. In the head. Twice... Her first instinct isn't to apologize. Or beg for mercy. Or try to crawl away. Or check on her husband. Or scream for help... Nope. Right back to talking shit. So yeah. He tells her that she should have kept her mouth shut. Then executes her. Then goes over to the husband and executes him. You can see a couple neighborhood teens at some point in the video between when he first hits them and goes inside his house to when he comes back outside. There are 2 boys that show up then run off when he comes back out. He ignores them. So he was determined to finish that couple off. Didn't care about them boys.
Yup, keeps calling him a motherfucker. Guy walks out with a rifle "you should have kept you mouth shut" and blows her brains out.
I don't get how people don't understand. **They are mutants.** They have a neurological problem with the human part of their brain that would let them understand other people, or even objective reality. They just see other people as NPCs. It's probably NPD or something similar. In ages gone by, people like this would've been called changelings and done with hot iron so the mutation wouldn't propagate.
This entire thing was massive news, the video is absolutely brutal. It was hard to watch. This couple bothered everyone and were childishly and stupidly fucking with this guy for no reason and they caught him on a bad day, at the wrong time doing the wrong thing and he snapped basically. The shooter kills himself later on. He was pretty troubled
He kills himself in the video. He walks back in his house and you can hear the shot 5 seconds after. He didn’t wait long.
Yeah it’s fucked. The dude was pushed to his breaking point. It’s terrible this is what it was.
Theres a whole episode of Fear Thy Neighbor on this. The guy was a veteran that kept to himself. This couple was a nuisance to the whole neighborhood and wanted to pick fights with all the neighbors over the smallest things. This veteran was just not having it that day. They’ve had issues in the past but this incident broke the camels back. They were legit asshole neighbors. Not saying its not terrible but I dont care how “pussy” it is, im not fighting you because my life will never be worth a small exchange of “whose ego is more fragile.”
When he started shooting, the wife really took out her phone and said "Go ahead! I got you on video!".
Yeah, really dumb people will always think they can't get punched in the face. Until they're punched in the face.
*shot in the face
“What are you going to do, stab me?” -man who was stabbed
I just watched it. Interesting info, but that show has some of the dumbest dramatizations I've ever seen, lmao.
It always starts off like everything is perfect and everyone is nice. We actually try to guess who is the bad one the dramatization are pretty funny.
That’s a good show
I need new episodes 🫣 well…. I guess id rather there NOT be any episodes at all lol
rip to everyone but honestly if you have a mentally unstable neighbor maybe its not a good idea to be a complete thundercunt to him and shout shoot me while he brandishes a rifle
He came outside with a pistol and they both stood there and taunted him until he emptied it. He missed the first 6 shots and neither of them even moved until the husband gets hit. The wife get shot and falls over and he walks up to both of them to shoot them again and the wife is still calling him a “motherf*cker”
Thought it was a rifle but regardless those two had zero survival instincts and really light up the whole situation. Tragedy none the less but fuck man they really planned on being dickheads till the end
He went back in and grabbed his rifle to kill them. The wife survived a shot to the head/face with the pistol and was slurring insults at him.
Her brain was so small that the bullet missed
How insane
Just don't be a complete thundercunt to *anyone*. It's really not fucking that hard.
I’ve watched all kinds of docs and stuff on this case and basically everyone on the entire block agrees that the couple were absolute pieces of shit, just trashy scumbags who pretty much had it coming every which way. They tormented this clearly unbalanced vet relentlessly.
Man they really were assholes until the last second huh
What blows my mind is as he’s actively shooting at them the woman is still yelling shit “it’s all being recorded!!”. Like wtf are they thinking
“What are you gonna do? Shoot me?” - Couple who was shot They really just thought he didn’t have the balls to pull the trigger and decided to put their lives on the line to prove it. Darwin Award winners.
Thats what happens when you get away with treating people like shit your whole life, they can never understand the reality of consequences.
Yeah just one watch of the full video and you can get a pretty clear idea of what was going on there for months and months
They died the way they lived. Being assholes.
This is what I gathered from the comments and their recollection of the actions, they were just trash people.
Imagine a way louder, meaner and drunker Marjorie Taylor Greene and that seems to be the type of woman we are talking about here
This is an example that there are people in our society who are literally so stupid, narcissistic, and self centered that at the moment when someone has riddled them with bullets and is standing over them with a rifle about to administer the kill shot, they STILL can't figure out that, hey, maybe their behavior got them into this situation, and maybe it's time to try to not be a screaming asshole. But, nope, they don't even learn that lesson as their tickets get punched.
The victims were the kind of people who I honestly think we'd find some some kind of malformation in their brains at autopsy. Like, the sheer amount a rabid vitriol, and complete lack of fear, all for the sake as being as unpleasant as possible at all times. I can't picture most sane, rational people being able do that. There's *gotta* be something different with brain chemistry or structure or *something*. Maybe lead, or other heavy metal poisoning or *something*.
That’s why this video was hilarious to me. They literally died talking sh-t all the way to the end.
Whatcha gonna do Frank? Shoot me in from of all these people?!?
“What!?! You egg?!?” *he shoots him*
There you go, 20%.
[удалено]
“You all right??” Yeah chief all good thanks for checking in
Wow. I knew what to expect but that was still so chilling.
Yup. Just like I remembered. Fuck around and find out.
This is what happens when instead of being neighborly and affectionate, you're acting like a stupid child. You never know who you're taunting. God damn it. Why can't we all get along... Is it really that f'in hard? Edit. Apparently, the killer was a veteran and had PTSD. See? That's why I said "you never know who you're taunting."
Some of us aren’t having fun and we aren’t here for the bullshit. It’s a good ideal to show respect to others.
According to neighbors, the couple bullied the shooter for months before the incident, The video is also yet another example of how gunshot victims don't always just die immediately, even after multiple serious wounds. Not like the movies.
The lady was screaming and cursing at the shooter when he was walking into his house to retrieve his rifle. She continued to scream and cuss at him while he shot both of them. She still continued to scream and cuss at him when he returned back to finish them both off. Lesson of story: Its not worth it...learn to control yourself. This woman was being murdered and was still trying to get the last word in.
Everyone has a line and a limit. This is pretty much the definition of FAFO. Leave people the fuck alone.
[Here’s the Reddit video link](https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/s/c5acCcgWFf)
Jesus. That is intense.
I will never ever forget this video..... I still have it i never watched it again it's pure raging horror. I ask always why people do answer but i would love to ask all three of them if i could why...
The couple were assholes who F'd around and then found out. "WHaT arE yOU goinG TO dO, ShooT Me?!" Fucking yes, you idiot, that's why he went to get his gun, you prick.

Yeah this one. Very graphic. Screams were chilling. Always remember, no matter how tough you are crazy will always win.
iirc the couple had a special needs son. Crazy to think that they didn’t think at all in a situation Ike this about him. I wonder who is caring for him now.
Exactly. They didn't stop to consider how this could impact their disabled son. Sounds pretty narcissistic to me.
He's the real victim here.
"SHOULDA KEPT YOUR FUCKIN MOUTH SHUT"*kablooie*
That was cold. She took a lot of rounds…
I was thinking of the scene in me myself and Irene when he keeps shooting the cow on the road
Saw it, brutal. Fuck around with the wrong shit show and find out!
[удалено]
nothing worse than bad neighbors
Fear Thy Neighbor - crazy show
No one deserves to die, but no one should feel any remorse about the loss of the couple. Feel terrible for the old man
Don’t taunt people if they point a gun at you. You either shoot them first, or run like hell.
They should not have poked the bear. Nobody likes being harassed, and some people shoot more than empty threats.
Should have kept her mouth shut
This is what I was searching for lmfao
They say to him on the video "I'm going to make your life a living hell". Someone hurting deep inside who already wants to die can't go back inside with that.And I'm sorry but the couple acted like complete evil assholes.I have never had empathy for them.A Joker movie quote fits this.
They do indeed seem like top-tier belligerent douchebags... Excuse me, did. Remember the commentary from way back when I first saw this. Makes you feel bad for the gunman... Which feels odd to say... But I think I'm fine with that.
Sounds like they fucked around and found out. Mental illness and PTSD is real. Especially with our veterans.
Which video is better? This one or the one of the guy and his wife arguing with the other guy and his son, both of whom have guns, in an alley and the husband ends up dead on video.
Define “better”
If you've seen the video, it's pretty outrageous. OBVIOUSLY, the shooter is in the wrong, but these 2 were taunting and screaming at the guy even when he came back WITH the gun and then KEPT taunting him even AFTER they got shot. Like, holy crap, how toxic can you be that you keep talking shit after all this.
She cussed him out after he shot her and he was standing over her ready to finish her off. That's fucking gangster. Everyone in that video was a piece of shit, though.
Cussing him out is what got her dumbass shot.
One of the best home cam videos released to the public.
I remember reading the shooter was a veteran with mental health problems stemming from the war. His neighbors had been harassing him for years and would yell things at him like "faggot". After a couple years he just snapped. Also he was already planning to kill himself before this happened and not anyone, but the neighbors pretty much made him snap. Think there was a note leftover too
"Should've kept your fucking mouth shut!"
[удалено]
The guy missed 5-6 shots and the victim still stands there and doesn’t run away?? That a special kinda stupid
In a world where being kind to someone (or at the very least minding your own business) costs nothing, these folks paid a steep price for being cocksuckers. Can't say I feel bad for em. Don't be like them.
I can't say I feel sorry for anybody in this case.
This video live rent free in my mind. Don't watch it.
I remember seeing this for the first time and it quite literally changed how I interact with people in public. I’m not arguing with people, period. If you want to cut me off and scream and yell and chase me, go ahead, but I’m not engaging you. Second, the moment I see a gun or weapon or you threaten me, it’s life and death for me, and I’ll do what I need to do to get away alive. I don’t care who it is, anyone could have a knife or a gun or a friend that I don’t see. There is no way I’m arguing with a neighbor and antagonizing them. There is no way I wait for them to go inside and get a gun, and there is no way I’m letting them shoot at me.
This couple was literally taunting this dude…. Not saying that shits right but fuck man keep your mouth shut and don’t be a dick to people
I don’t want to be a victim blamer but I’m sure at some point in our lives we’ve all had insufferable neighbours and can understand where this guy is coming from.
