This is why i don't allow mid 20's white male's who are skinny into my house without knowing them. On December 03 2010 02:20 Wr3k wrote: Noticed you didn't mention the zodiac killer. I would consider him to be one of the more interesting ones. He may not have killed many people, but his open communication with the public makes him that much more interesting. Documentary: + Show Spoiler + 1/6 2/6 3/6 4/6 5/6 6/6 Yeah I was born in SF and i've always feared people wearing potatos sacs over their head. He prob didn't mention him becuase he's one without a person you can attach it to. It is interesting becuase he taunted them in a way. | ||

Not just for being a killer but doing some pretty sick stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish I had found a complete biography on him before but I can't find the video anymore. There are at least 2 of them out there but one of them isn't very complete. The long one goes into details and it's pretty sick. Albert Fish needs to be included in the OP. Scary man. Claimed that the electric chair, to which he was sentenced, would be the "ultimate sexual experience". From anybody else, a statement like that would be all talk. (take a look) + Show Spoiler + | ||

 Check out the show 'Most Evil' -- puts serial killers in different categories on a scale (the scale of evil) based on what they did, how they killed and their motivations. Delves into the childhoods, the later life and of course the history of their deviant acts/killings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Evil I found it quite interesting, covers the majority of prolific serial killers in history. Killer: Joseph Kallinger, killed 3, and tortured 4 families all with the help of his 13 year old son. What I generally find most interesting is the way they 'become' serial killers. Of course (or at least in most cases), it stems from childhood abuse, or a generally messed up time growing up. In Joseph's case it makes me wonder what made the parents so abusive...it's almost as if there is a perpetual cycle of abuse that ends only when severe abuse leads to 'spawning' the most evil. It kinda stops there I suppose, because by their actions and brain make-up it doesn't allow them to ever get to a stage of pro-creation. Probably best eh? This was Mr. Kallinger's childhood...tends to make you think he was always going to be against society have a general disdain for people who care for their children etc. From Wikipedia: 'Kallinger was born Joseph Lee Brenner III at the Northern Liberties Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Joseph Lee Brenner, Jr. and his wife Judith. In December 1937, the child was placed in a foster home, after his father had abandoned his mother. On October 15, 1939, he was adopted by Stephen and Anna Kallinger. He was abused by both his foster parents so severely that, at age six, he suffered a hernia inflicted by his foster father. The punishments Kallinger endured included kneeling on jagged rocks, being locked inside closets, consuming excrement, committing self-injury, being burned with irons, being whipped with belts, and being starved. When he was nine, he was sexually assaulted by a group of neighborhood boys.' | ||

Don't be ridiculous. Some of the worst things in life are fascinating. I myself think it's incredible and interesting - but then again, I think people are interesting. Weird ones even more so. Psychopaths are the best because, while some of them live in society like us, some of them become serial murderers - and "normal" people hate them. Recently there was a documentary about BTK, and at the end there was his trial. During the trial, family members of the victims got to talk to him. Some of them were crying - they would tell him that what he did is horrible and he should be ashamed and such. People don't understand how psychopaths think, or they wouldn't try to get people like BTK to actually feel guilty about what they did. Their brain is simply incapable of actually grasping the concept that murder is bad. | ||

So being fascinated with any sort of war is the same way? the only reason for war is death. TONS and TONS of war enthusiasts out there. Personally people like hitler are interesting to me. bad people? fuck yea. but interesting none the less. How can 1 man create an army out of normal people that was one of the most threatening forces on the planet. How can he make normal people do what they did... Point im making is. Just because its bad doesnt mean it isnt interesting or fascinating. Good things are less fascinating most of the time anyway | ||

Political war criminals are different from your average serial killer because they convince otherwise sane people to do completely insane things while believing they are doing the right thing. | ||

Please don't sympathise with the dehumanisation. It's redirecting valid mental anguish into murdering innocent people! I am just slightly worried by anyone who is really interested in serial killers because I wonder if they have fantasies about being as 'brave' as the killers and satiate their desire to unleash vengeance on the world by experiencing the activities of serial killers in a vicarious manner. In short, I hope this interest stays healthy  ! | ||

Yeah, another case of two serial killers/deviant personalities meeting up. Encouraged the activities/acts of Paul Bernardo. Reminds me of Fred and Rose West, where two people bounce off each other and possibly amplify the acts the other will commit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_West Also Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_brady A few links: + Show Spoiler + Fred & Rose West --- Ian Brady and Myra Hindley "The Moors Murderers" | ||
