CULTURE: Support Your Local Serial Killer

It's good to support people you believe in ... athletes, politicians, serial killers ...

Wait. Did I just say serial killers?

Some people really need to find better things to do than rally for the cause of murderous fucking idiots like this, no matter how charismatic or charming they may be.

I find the source article a bit disturbing. The US justice system seems a bit scary.

EDIT: He needs to start selling tee-shirts with his face on them to help with his legal costs.

This isn't really anything new. Charles Manson had/has similar followers. Those people whom Badlands and Natural Born Killers was based on (the names escape me at the moment) did too. It's bizarre.

Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate.

This is about as stupid as considering letting the founderof the Crypts live.

Well, at least we know that our tax dollars are going for a good cause. Like keeping criminals in...... Wait, did that say a rope made out of bed sheets? Good lord, this is ridiculous....

It's certainly not the first time a murderous fucktard has scored themselves adoraring fans.



Richard Ramirez: great bone structure, nice head of hair, cheeky smile, legion of female fans. Killed at least 13 people.

Got married to one of them while on death row.

I think we should have a special law that when someone kills a bunch of people and burys thier remains in thier yard that we just get to kill them quickly in an efficent and inexpencive manner and be done with it.

In fact, maybe if we extended it to all cases of multiple homicide where you have clear physical evidence? Or maybe all cases of violent crime where you have clear physical evidence.

It bugs me that we don't have the resources for adequet health care for the elderly, or schools for poor kids, but we can waste time and money on these useless fucks.

But then OJ wouldn't be alive today, tracking down the real killers.

I could care less about serial killers (as long as they aren't hiding in my closet with a skinning knife) but I'm really curious about serial killer groupies. I wonder what goes on in the head of someone like that.

Dude looks like a lady.

Or all cases of violent crime where you have pretty good, looks-OK-to-me, he-must-have-done-it physical evidence.

He's always been a huge AC/DC fan. Not sure if he likes Aerosmith much.

From the original article:

Wow, those are really fucken long bedsheets.

Ding ding. The psychosis that serial killers have is something that we need to understand so we can better treat/capture future serial killers.

I wont get into the death penalty aspect except for saying, we dont need provisions so we can kill people even faster.

I think it's "CRIP". Caucasians Rest In Peace. ??

agreed.

though I am far more vocal about opposing the death penalty (I am Christian, and think it is wrong to institutionalize killing people - I feel like we're trying to play God when we decide whether another person should live or die), I truly think we need to be studying serial killers so we can hopefully prevent people from getting to that point. If we knew the signs, and could stop someone from becoming a serial killer, it would be worth keeping all those guys alive.

I for one am against serial killers. They go too far.

I agree, but the process that changes people to "find something better to do" is complicated. It's also easy to say, as many do, "I'm against that guy, lock him up, throw away the key."

Whether you are for the triumph of the Law and Order types or for the serial killer, it is part of the same discourse. Rebel/Savior, Criminal/Prosecutor. Sorry to be tangential, but this is in my mind connected to the ideology of rock and roll as rebellious salvation. Warhol understood this well.

Those who rally round the criminal as celebrity are for the most part, prepping for full incorporation into the society of the spectacle.

The Tibetan Buddhist lama and film director Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche (aka Khyentse Norbu) said in an interview his favorite movie is Natural Born Killers, because it shows reality and Buddhism is all about reality.

I'm actually going to school for that, it's a part of Forensic Psychology. I get to look at case studies from serial killers and try to figure them out and create profiles.
Anyway, it is rather odd that these types of people have groupies, but what disturbs me is the extent to what these groupies will go to, to get the attention of the killer. They believe in a distorted sense of reality in that, these women think that they can save them men that have been wronged in their past lives. You know the defense "Oh well I killed 60 people because my mom ran out on me and my dad abused me as a child" A woman's caring nature wants to fix this problem... crazy stuff I'm telling you.

That Alexi Laiho chick is hot, huh?

Ted Bundy had groupies too. This is a man who did really, really horrible things to exactly the same sort of women who fell for him. *boggles*
