During the tapes, Castillo said he loved his guns because “I wanted something that could not reject me.” At one point, he sang while pointing an unloaded shotgun at the camera. In another video he puts a gun in his mouth.
"I took everything personally, and I hold grudges. That's my problem. I can't let it go. I can't," he said.
