Long time lurker, first time poster.
This Gable character is an interesting conundrum to be sure. He has all the hallmarks of a narcissistic psychopath (grandiosity, issues of power, lack of empathy, manipulative and leeching behaviours, impulsivity, sexual/alcohol/chemical addictions, adrenalin seeking etc) yet his whole MO seems geared at attracting the approval if a bunch of meat heads...which kinda goes against the standard behaviour of a narcissist/psychopath? Truly, usually they would consider themselves more superior anyway, not needing to attract approval.
But one thing is for sure, his behaviour is all about power and control. Taping people without their knowledge (which I'm surer is illegal under their telecommunications act) then replaying it on public forums in an egotistical power play...even just the knowledge of secretly taping someone puts him at an advantage, giving him feelings of total control over the situation.
The need to denigrate woman constantly, particularly when things don't go his way...it's always the woman's fault (even his footage of him almost hitting a car was due to him checking out a potentially decent chick)...his manipulative behaviour to women he has behaved in appropriately with (case in point, the woman who he manhandled, who he tried to cover up his tracks afterwards). His constant need to tell his side of these stories on public forums and put the record straight, so to speak, peppered with a large dose of sl*t shaming.
His escalating social and behavioural problems, to me, would not rule out some kind of premeditated assault. I find it interesting, one, that he started filming at 1am - presumably after they'd been intimate. If he was indeed in fear of his life, why wouldn't he have kicked her out immediately instead of indulging in two hours of theatrics - all of which he knew were taped - threatening to kick her out etc but not doing it, then essentially imprisoning her on a balcony?
The only reason to me was because he was taping the event to craft a case, constructing a self defence argument that was designed to help him and make him look like the victim. Interesting that he brings up an attempt to kill him given later events and also references to rough sex - sounds like typical projection to me. But even in an attempt to create a self defence scenario the real GT comes through, with bravado-laced diatribe about kicking her out without anything, hitting her etc.
My belief is that they had consensual sex, he tried something weird on her, she flipped out, he realises he may have gone too fair and starts taping the situation to make himself look innocent. He has attempted to choke her and realised he had gone really far, locks her on the balcony with the ominous phrase of her bring bad! I am starting to think he killed her, has potentially had sadistic fantasies before and while not premeditated, it offered an opp for him to do it. At the very least, he was clearly revelling in having this woman trapped in his apartment.
Lastly, his phone call to his father was pathetic, like some kid getting out of trouble by blaming someone else. Sickening and obvious they've covered up for him for god knows what before.
