Jihadi John school footage shows Emwazi as insecure teenager

In this never before seen footage Mohammed Emwazi, who became "Jihadi John", is seen as an insecure teenager growing up in London.

The man who became the public face of ISIS brutality was reportedly killed in an American drone strike.

The question is, why did they have a camera that followed him while he was in school?

How sad and strange is the trajectory of life, we never know how it will turn out, whether one becomes a saint or a psychopath...

In his defense, British people have no grounds to criticize others for having bad teeth.

[MJ-omgo]

I actually feel bad for him around this time period, I’m going to ignore the YouTube comments because in the end it doesn’t matter how people feel about you, it matters how you feel about yourself. This video is a reminder to treat people with respect. The way everyone interprets bullying is different.

It's sad to see young people waste their talents on such horrific atrocities and throw away their future. He's now awaiting God's judgement. He will have to answer to God for what he's done.

Moral of the story- never tell a person with bad breath to brush his teeth

[pinkitypink]

I'd like to know what programme this came from in 2004

[pie]

Hiding his face all the time, should have seen it coming...

Everyone gets insecure
If you say you don't your lying.

Dude, i was insecure in high school. That doesnt mean anything. It was a third party influence that made him turn like this.

If you think hard enough, we, even average human beings, albeit poor or rich, miserable or happy, could one day turn out like this because of some unforseen circumstances that makes us thirst for blood and revenge. All it takes is one bad decision, or one bad day, and you'll end up like him. A criminal, worse, a terrorist who claim lives in the most foulest of ways. The footage you see here is nothing short of normal teenage activities most of us used to do in our younger years. What makes you think we couldn't encounter a similar fate in the future? To prevent this, we must always condition our minds with positive and always have each other's backs, not turn our backs from each other which makes us divided, not united.

All of us feel insecure at some point in our life. Many people get bullied in their younger years for being ugly, poor or for whatever reason.
Imagine if all of them end up being like him...
Noone should defend this monster by giving the justification of bullying or insecurity. He himself, his family/religion are collectively responsible for him getting radicalised.

He was a little insecure loser, IS gave him power. What weakling wouldn't find the allure of power attractive?? By being given command over life and death itself, he felt like God, it must have been intoxicating.

Anger changed him to be the killer he became.

[harrycarter]

Imagine being one of his old school friends

[MustacheCashStash]

Imagine being friends with this guy in school not realizing what he was gonna do or how infamous he would be in adulthood

[ghettablkgffb]

Yea these is bs .. he just looks like a normal teenager in secondary school and if he was insecure it was just the same insecurities most kids have

[fanAI]

So apparently there was a camera filming him at all times in the year 2004 with no smartphones or small devices at the time, this is some great exclusive footage.

[熊天天]

that the school could keep these videos is amazing

[assemahmed]

But when he found a chance to be in center of attention ...he had become the scariest thing on Earth 😲
