The top was down on Thaddeus Jimenez’s shiny Mercedes convertible and opera music blared on the stereo as he and a gang associate drove around Chicago’s Northwest Side looking for someone to shoot.
Just three years earlier, Jimenez had won a staggering $25 million verdict for his wrongful murder conviction. But instead of building a new life, he used the windfall to rejuvenate his old gang, paying recruitment bonuses, buying guns and fancy cars, and even giving cash prizes to members willing to tattoo their faces with the Simon City Royals insignia.
Cruising the Irving Park neighborhood on that muggy Monday morning in August 2015, Jimenez carried a sapphire blue, custom-plated pistol and had Gucci luggage bags crammed with extra ammunition stowed in the back seat, court records show. His passenger, Jose Roman, held a .22-caliber Mossberg semiautomatic rifle at his side as he filmed their travels with his iPhone.
Shortly after 11 a.m., Jimenez pulled the Mercedes up to an ex-gang member who knew the two men and greeted them warmly. As the camera rolled, Earl Casteel, 33, was startled to hear Jimenez threaten him.
“Why shouldn’t I blast you right now?” Jimenez declared.
“Blast me, n—-?” Casteel replied, according to a transcript of the video in court records. “You my brother, man! I ain’t got nothing against you.”
Without hesitation, Jimenez nonchalantly aimed his pistol at Casteel’s legs and opened fire, shooting him once in each thigh.
“Why would you do that?” Casteel cried out as he fell to the street.
“Shut up, bitch,” Jimenez said before speeding away…
Had Jimenez and Roman not been arrested, they likely would have posted the video on social media, alongside dozens of other clips depicting how Jimenez’s influx of cash had put the Simon City Royals back on the map, prosecutors said.
View behavior through the prism of amygdala. This douche had no force in his brain saying, “Don’t do that.”
What is interesting to me is how as you get this poorly constrained narcissistic attention-whore mindset in the r-strategist, it actually confers advantage in times of r, even with today’s government. You see it from Kim Kardashian, to Paris Hilton, to any other celebrity whose entire business model is based off name recognition. They make millions off little more than posting pictures to twitter. Even Donald Trump won the Presidency more because he could mimic it, than because he was a highly intelligent, accomplished businessman with a compelling message.
Imagine how many youtube views this douchebag’s channel would have eventually gotten, and how that could have been monetized, and converted to mating opportunities. His main problem was that the society wasn’t r-enough, and the remaining K led to his incarceration. If he had pulled this in a more r-environment, I could see the rabbits arguing that he shouldn’t be incarcerated, because he was a victim deserving even more compensation.
Imagine how that would have played in a state of nature, without organized government, and with just rabbits in a r-selected region. Their psychology is perfectly molded to dominate in the r-selected environment they are designed for.
Spread r/K Theory, because r-strategists multiply like rabbits

Promising start of youtube career. He wanted to become the PewDiePie of Murder obviously.
Oh, and his videos would have been demonetized. Youtube terms of service.
