that was a deeply unpleasant read.
interesting that they list his political affiliation on his Wikipedia entry - as though that had any bearing on his crimes. I guess everything is politicised in the states.

bought an album by the butthole surfers many years ago , the front cover is painting done in prison by John Wayne Gacy , th American serial killer thought to have raped and murdered at least 33 young men in the seventies .
Only just started reading about him .
Had a tough upbringing .
But some of the stuff he got up to was truly horrific
Probably best not to read this before you go to bed .

Its shocking isn't it
People throw around the term psycho or nutter or madman or schizo with no idea what they are talking about
His poor upbringing undoubtedly led to him being the person he was
A person who hears voices telling them to kill people is ill with schizophrenia
Gacy was clearly a psychopath , he was evil , he enjoyed stalking , hunting , raping and killing people . If he were alive today he would have recorded the killing and raping of his victims .
You can treat psychosis and schizophrenia , you can't treat a psychopath
so many of these type of cases that have a really traumatic childhood.
I can remember a case a few years ago where 2 brothers had brutally assaulted 2 other kids leaving them hospitalised but fortunately they survived. during the trial the kids were completely emotionless when talking about the assault, and were mimicking their fathers voice when talking about it. but as soon as anyone mentioned their father's abuse against them they immediately broke down in tears and were two little boys again.
"Daddy?"
"Yes, son?"
"W-w-w-what does regret mean?"
"Well, son...a funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret something you _have_ done, instead of something you _haven't_ done. And if you see your mom this weekend, be sure and tell her...SATAN!!! SATAN!!! SATAN!!!"
I went to a museum once called Little Dean Jail - there are no words to describe just how deeply strange this place is. But among the collection of curiosities are a series of paintings by Charles Bronson (prisoner not actor) and a collection of letters and mix tapes by Peter Sutcliffe. There is something so revealing and unsettling about knowing what tunes a serial killer is into.
Also hitler as a young man served in the great war, and his battalion were absolutely decimated in "the Ypres massacre of the innocents", there's no telling what seeing that kind of carnage up close does to someone who has already had a abusive childhood. Must have been horriffic for those young soldiers on both sides.
Its not an excuse of course, as the vast majority of people who have these awful upbringings don't go on to do these things thankfully
Sludge, have you heard Sufjan Steven’s ‘John Wayne Gaby Jr.’? Maybe not heavy enough for your good self but haunting nevertheless.

Ted Bundy
What on earth went on in his life
Complete psychopath
Ted Bundy
Complete psychopath
No feelings whatsoever for the women he raped , beat to death and would return to have six with them until they were too decomposed
Broke out of custody twice
At least 35 victims , police think double or maybe three times that , others think could be in the hundreds
Got married to a woman halfway through his trial
Found guilty, managed to have sex with her in prison
After his execution hundreds of women went to their doctors for help with depression after 5hey had been writing to him in prison and they fell in love despite knowing he had raped , murdered and had s3x with dead women
Off his potty

Gibby is pretty normal these days. I've met him a few times and and I'm good friends with his brother. But I must say, that show in Newport really freaked me out. 1985?
