Who is your favorite Serial Killer and why??

Subject: Re: Your Favorite Serial Killer Fri Feb 24, 2012 10:43 am

I guess my fav serial killer is Jeffrey Dalhmer. His crimes were heinous but he was very interesting as far a his psychological profile. Gacey just creeped me out because he dressed up as a clown. I don't like clowns. Manson just had other people do his dirty work, which to me isn't very interesting, although I definitely think he's nutso. Bundy was interesting....he was a true psychopath. I've always been interested in the psychology behind the horrible acts that people do I don't know why exactly

My favorite serial killer is Jeffrey Dahmer too. His crimes shocked - and captivated - my generation. The drugging and the rape of young men, the necrophilia, the dismemberment, and the mutilation and decapitation of his victims. The keeping body parts and skulls in his appartment, the attempt to make 'sex zombies' from his victims!- and finally, to cap it all off, the cannibalism. Just unbelievable. And the sorrow he brought into the world was unforgivable.
What facinates me tough, is that he actually seemed like a nice guy. Likable! Quietly spoken, thoughtful and polite. And he was genuinely remorseful for his crimes - rare in serial killers.
Not to excuse what he did at all though, but in a way, he was a victim of some very rare inner sickness - a strong obsession with sex and death - the two were inseperable in his mind. He tried to drown it out with, first, religeon and then alcohol. But he failed and lost control. His evil won.

He should've just taken his own life instead, in my opinion.

I think you are right about Jeffrey Dahlmer. It wouldn't have surprised me if he had taken his own life...I think the others got to him first....which I guess is OK too..it's more like poetic justice. I've read several books about Jeffrey, and I tired to watch the movie about him, but it made me so sick I couldn't finish it. What could cause a person to be so perverse? I guess I do believe that there is pure evil in this world, and some people are just that. I think sometimes it isn't the psychology about the person, it's just evil alive in the world. I've seen it in my practice as well I was watching court TV one time, and they had this 19 year old guy on trial for killing several people, one of which was a 9 year old boy...he slit his throat in a public restroom, at a park. He sprayed the blood all over the walls. Anyway, it was chilling to hear him talk. He told the judge that if he ever got out, he would do it again. Of course, he got life in prison....(no death penalty in that state) I kept thinking though, that this boy was just pure evil...nothing else.

Yes, very disturbing. Interesting insights also. I believe evil is alive in the world too. Just makes me wonder why some people carry more of it inside themselves than others? And some people carry very little, if not, any at all. Do you have any thoughts on that?

As a side note; some philosophies put that down to bad karma built up over previous lives. I actually go along with that.

Subject: Re: Your Favorite Serial Killer Mon Feb 27, 2012 6:20 am

Ummmm, I think the way my life is going...I must have been a serial killer in another life LOL JK..maybe..
I do believe in Karma very much, which is why I don't get too that upset, or retaliate when people wrong me. What comes around goes around..I truly believe that. I really don't believe this as a result of my Christian upbringing...it's just the law of the universe. It's just the way things work.
Speaking as a Psych Nurse, some times, it's a matter of upbringing and abuse, but most of children who were abused never end up as serial killers I guess that's when evil enters their lives. It's well documented that some people are just born without a conscience...if you add that to that sociopathic personality...well
I think if you don't have a conscience, it is just easier for these people to do awful things.
It's hardwired into their personality. There's not a whole lot yo can do with these people You can make them care about right and wrong because it's just not in their make up. I took care of a man, who tired this girl to the bedpost, did some horrible things to her and slit her throat, and left her for dead. Because of his Psych background he was sent for a shot time to a Forensic unit.
When he cane back to us, he very chillingly told me what he did, and how he beat the system. It sent chills down my back. I knew I was staring evil in the face. He had no remorse, and bragged about how he got out of going to prison. Now what do you do with a person like that?

Subject: Your Favorite Serial Killer Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:45 am

Lol, at the first part of your reply:) But yes, it's just...incredible and I wish I had the answers. I appreciate you sharing your experience too, thanks. And that's right; some people simply lack a conscience, and combine that with...oh, I don't know - all sorts of things, and you have your violent serial offender. But what gives me hope for humanity is the way John Douglas - the retired FBI agent who's pioneering profiling techniques helped solve some horrendous crimes - summed up his book Mind Hunter; he said something like - people aren't born monsters, they are made, and a lot of this carnage would have been prevented if these people had been given one thing when they were children: love. I think you would partly agree with this. I do. So maybe there really is a cure.

I would have to say Ed Gein. There are several movies loosly based on his exploits.
Texas chainsaw massacre
psycho
silence of the lambs
His crimes were of unspeakable horrors ,making a suit out of human skin so he can
run around pretending to be his dead mother.

Yeah, Ed Gein was one sick puppy. Way too much time on his hands.
Ed Kemper was another one. He'd have oral sex with the severed heads his victims. He used to like hacking their heads off. And having sex with the corpses.

As my daughter will tell you, I've always been fasinated by the minds of Serial Killers. I don't know why....probably my years of Psych Nursing. I used to see kids all of the times, with the first signs of an anti-social personality, and even then one can't Dx antisocial personaity until adulthood. However, I see the starting fires, the killing of animals (we had one kid that would drink their blood) At that stage they are often Dx Conduct disorder...which is not to say that all kids with Condunct disorder will become Serial Killers...just a note
I do think Serial Killers know they are doing wrong, because they alway try to hide what they are doing. It's not that they feel remorse...they just know that if they get caught it means prision, or the needle. Sociopaths have no conscience...they take lives without a second thought..often it gratifies them in one fashion or another. Sociapaths are afraid of consequences.
Some come from abusive backgrounds, but so do a lot of people who don't go around hacking up other people. I like to learn about what there toughts were, and how they see the world. It's just interesting, I think.

I'm not a big fan of serial killers, Used to be in my younger days I suppose...but If I HAD to pick a favorite it would be Richard Ramirez, "the nightstalker" simply because he never made excuses he was what he was and never denied it....plus his "oh so spooky" (enable sarcasam) courtroom antics. Plus, when he was finally caught he was caught in the barrio where he lived by his neighbors and they got to beat him up before the cops got there affraid

The Zodiac is probably my next in line simply because he taunted the police and bragged and was just plain IN YOUR FACE with his murders and was never caught.
