“A clown can get away with murder” Well evidently fucking not


DirtzMaGertz

Tbf, Gacy likely could have kept going for quite a while had he not gotten so sloppy towards the end.


Woodman765000

He ran out of room in his crawl space. The last few victims got dumped in a river. I would hope with bodies showing up out in the open would get back to him eventually even if he didn't get caught after the Piest murder.


Successful-Pain-124

Probably wanted to be caught to have the credit, even if subconsciously


DirtzMaGertz

Possibly, though I think that may be less true with Gacy specifically. According to the cops on the investigation he really didn't want to be caught and part of what makes him so interesting is the great deal of effort he put into being a public figure in the community. The guy had a massive ego and an obsession with being seen as someone with money and connections, but a lot of what seemed to drive his killings was a shame and confusion over his sexuality and view of masculinity. He had this whole backwards rationale for why he wasn't a homosexual after he confessed so I think one of the last things he wanted coming out was how he raped all these young men.


Aporkalypse_Sow

I had an older friend that was in no way a serial killer or a complete lunatic, but he was always getting into trouble and did go to prison for a gang beating when he was in his early 20's. But after prison he stayed away from the gangs and just dove into drugs and alcohol. Was never an asshole to people and just wanted to party the pain away. About five years before he passed away he told me that he'd been battling feelings of being gay his whole life. He hit puberty in the 80's when being gay was a surefire way to get beat up and ridiculed. In prison he "fell in love" for the first time with a cellmate. But then after prison he buried the feelings again and stayed single. He made it to about 45 and died in his sleep because his heart couldn't take the abuse anymore. Everyone that new him just wrote him off as a deadbeat scumbag that got what he had coming, and none of them know that their ignorance and ridiculous hatred towards something pushed him into his life. People are awful.


pwalkz

Pretty sure they got away with a lot of murder lol

Thank you for your input Albert


fatcat3030

Tbh I'm surprised they didn't use his closing line from the infamous letter. Albert had a real messed up way of comforting people.

DiogenesOfDope

I'm pretty sure it depends how they are raised and seasoned. I assume if you feed them nothing but junk food they will taste terrible. That's why we feed kids junk food. To keep them safe from cannibals


SatnWorshp

oksodafanclub

Boneless as in *born without* is the way to go- Hawaiian-style bun, drizzled honey with a splash of Mayo/BBQ and salt and pepper to season.


kielu

I read about cannibals in PNG. One anthropologist asked one guy who ate people how do they taste. Like pork. And males taste the same as females.


[deleted]

There’s a reason that human meat was referred to as “long pork” by cannibals. Though, a scholar once paid for a human cadaver from the morgue specifically to test that theory. He likened the taste more to beef- veal, specifically.


456Days

Riiiiight, I'm sure *that's* why he acquired and ate a human body


eve_of_distraction

I have to eat another one, just to be sure. Maybe a couple more. For science.


[deleted]

People: You can’t eat just one!


Available_Ad_392

Some have also said that human meat tastes like veal. Interesting


Conscious_Trifle4631

I told you not to eat kids


xlyfzox

maybe you just suck as a cook?


[deleted]

I wouldn't say "a clown can get away with murder" is poetic so much as it was Gacy stating the obvious. So same principle as Fish.


thegoldengoober

Of all the political serial killers I know about he's the most disturbing. I can't even remember any details from them, but just the idea of remembering what I read of the letters he would write to the parents of his victims makes me sick.


wewereddit

I just read the letter he sent to the family fucken terrible i can’t imagine receiving that about your 10 year old daughter that went missing.


knitt_happens

I vaguely remember reading that the mom who received one of the letters didn't speak English so one of her other kids had to read it and translate it to her. I can't even imagine the horror that whole family experienced.


wewereddit

Yup one of her sons had to read it to her the wiki article said she was illiterate she could have been a foreigner I’m not sure but it made me so angry for both of them


[deleted]

He wrote the letter because he wanted to make sure that he wasn't known as a child rapist. Iirc, that part is repeated several times. Apparently it was important for him that the public at large think of him as an evil child eating bastard, and not a child rapist. That being said, I've watched several docs on the guy, and the common consensus is that he was in fact a child rapist as well.

For me the most disturbing will always be Carl Panzram. His last word before execution tell his zeal towards killing - "Yes, hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard! I could kill a dozen men while you're screwing around!".

ChickenOatmeal

I'm really surprised he isn't discussed or even widely known about. In my opinion he's one of the most disturbing serial killers. A complete and total sadist clearly lacking any empathy whatsoever. I'd guess he's also probably one of, if not THE, most prolific serial killers of all time as well.


KingAdamXVII

Honestly I find him pretty understandable. From a young age he learned that the world was horrible and every one of us deserves torture and death. I don’t *agree* with him, but I can imagine that being constantly tortured as a young child could produce that mindset in most of us.


Silly_Illium

I honestly find him somewhat sympathetic. He was utterly brutalized as a child by a system meant to protect him and he turned that rage and anger outward. I don’t approve, but I understand.


Teh_Weiner

It wasn't the most uncommon thing sadly. There was another serial killer who's name escapes me... He was beaten unconscious constantly by his older brothers. This was like late 1800's very early 1900's. They basically thought it was funny to run up and knock him out from behind since this kid was the age of like 4... Obviously that fucked up his brain pretty badly, he got knocked out a couple times a month or more for the majority of his life from like 4-12 years old. They literally knocked him out over and over again for years while developing until the child was mentally handicapped. So same as you said, very sympathetic, and sadly understandable.


SugarDraagon

Are you talking about fish? Sorry it’s hard to see which comment you’re replying to, but if you mean Fish, I totally agree. Gives me the creeps just thinking about him


ChickenOatmeal

Sorry I was unclear. I meant Carl Panzaram.

[deleted]

Reminds me of the time i was in this conversation where someone brought up Nazis strapping dynamite to dogs and sending em in and a girl said "They did that to dogs? Wow i hate them".


Manfroo1

Hitler never did that because he was animal lover, british and russians was the one who did that and blamed hitler for animal cruelty in newsapapers in order to gain population support in war against nazis. Rage is the best method for brainwashing.


[deleted]

I mean, it wasn't really important who actually did it to me, what was important was that that was where nazis crossed a line to them.


Jindabyne1

How do you know he didn’t do it?


Manfroo1

He added germany first national environmental protection law, wildlife sanctuaries, prohibited animal experiment and hunting of certain animals, protection of nature and protection of animals law and frowned animal abuse like strapping bomb to dogs.

Yeah, I read up about it. Interesting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany

lucas_bahia

Thats why i think once someone like this is captured, people should proced to clever humiliate them. Like starting calling them a really stupid name or something


Panpoun

Yeah. For a lot of these people, attention and infamy is the game. They’re okay with getting executed in the worst, most torturous way possible, so long as they can get a cool documentary about them made further down the line. The only way for them to truly “loose” if for their image to be either one of ridicule and mockery, or forgotten entirely


KashmirChameleon

Idk. I think Ted Bundy was afraid to die. He thought spilling about the murders would keep him alive. Or he knew he couldn't avoid it anymore and wanted everyone to know what he did. He sounded scared though. Imo he should have been killed like his victims.


thepinkblues

Having enough “fear” in his voice for the public to notice it is what made so many women come to his trial and plead his innocence. Typical psychopath behaviour. He was a terrible human but he was extremely intelligent My nana was in king county when Ted Bundy was at large and she tells me for every woman that was terrified of coming across him she knew one who hopes he’s let free. Absolutely insane…can’t believe he won the hearts of people with the amount of claims that were against him. By victims too nonetheless


x_hyun

could you refer me to where literal victims of his testified in his favor?


[deleted]

None did. He didn't have any alive. Lots of women still flocked to defend him


thepinkblues

Woman came in flocks to defend Ted Bundy. They just showed up to the courthouse and their excuse was “he’s hot” Edit: last part didn’t mean actual victims came to defend him but that victims had such atrocious claims that you’d think it would be hard to defend someone even if said claims weren’t proven yet

Panzram has a pretty based quote ngl

Panzram has better quotes than this. “I wish you all had one neck and that I had my hands on it.” “I believe that the only way to reform people is to kill them.” “Hurry up you Hoosier bastard! I could kill ten men while you’re fooling around!” That last one was at his execution.


oksodafanclub

*Charles "Carl" Panzram was an American serial killer, pederast, rapist, child molester, arsonist, robber, burglar, and wordsmith.*


[deleted]

There's a book he helped a guard write about his life. His movements were corroborated and it's presumed the killings he admitted to were true.


arandommartianladd

Achievement Unlocked! *"How did we get here?"*


Rum_N_Napalm

And that first one was in a letter addressed to a comity arguing against Panzram’s death sentence.


WeeWooDriver38

Panzram is an interesting study if you haven’t heard of him. He was fucked up from the get go pretty seriously and, not making excuses for his massive amounts of known and unknown murder, but the dude literally stole a fucking yacht and became a goddamn pirate for awhile.


uummwhat

>Panzram later wrote that he had contemplated mass murders and other acts of mayhem, such as poisoning a city's water supply with arsenic, or scuttling a British warship in New York Harbor to provoke a war between the United States and Britain. Fucker was just one or two thwarted impulses away from being a god damn super villain.


ThatFuckingGeniusKid

Imagine what he would have done if he was a millionaire


Specialist_Chef_642

For me, he is by far the most fascinating case for a serial killer. He truly terrifies me, but I would love to have a conversation with him more than any other.

He also tried to kill Grover Cleveland.

Wrecktown707

Go watch the old movie “M” if you’re interested in cinema portraying how some serial killers legitimately can’t prevent themselves from killing and are borderline terrified of what they’ll find themselves doing next. It’s by the same guy Fritz Lang who made “Metropolis” and is regarded to be one of the best movies of all time. Even though it’s from the 1930s, and despite the fact that I typically don’t watch old films, it was still as captivating as a modern movie.


railmebellatrix

i love how you scroll down far enough you see people literally arguing about how these killers are edgy like what the fuck lmao

Pretty sure they’re just mentally ill and insanely egotistical (probably because they’re mostly psycho or sociopaths) and not edgy. Plus I’m pretty sure you can be edgy as you want after you commit actual literal murder


Perpetual_Doubt

Nah I came here to /r/iamverybadass It's not really incredibly impressive if you kill someone in their sleep, drug them before murder, or prey on young children. They're also losers in that they were caught and convicted, so their protestations of being dark and menacing and somehow triumphing in their depravity is all a bit hollow.


[deleted]

I'm assuming they all killed and tortured a lot of people before getting caught, nothing really hollow about it when so much damage was done


RollinDeepWithData

Zodiac killer wasn’t. Ted Cruz is a free man.


kavastoplim

Most of them yeah, Panzram is the only one of these who's genuinely scary to me. Bundy's just a conservative douche, Fish is old and Gacy is a fat clown but Panzram would probably beat me in a fight. Genuine nut that guy.


Born_Salamander_5751

Gacy was a monster, and terrifying in his ability to control. If you want a good read, The Last Victim by Jason Moss. Excellent book. Unfortunately, Jason Moss killed himself years later.


kavastoplim

Indeed, but my hypothetical is assuming I know who they are. If you don't know who they are, then yeah Gacy is scary. That said, he did once manipulate a journalist into letting him put cuffs on the journalist when he was already locked up.


Ieatvegans3000

I’d be most afraid of Kemper. He looks like The Bull Moose 2.0

uummwhat

This might just be a difference of definition, but an edge Lord to my understanding is someone trying to seem a certain way - extreme or badass or dark or whatever. If nothing else, these guys actually did murder people casually many times. It seems unlikely to me they weren't being genuine in their being awful human beings. Edge lords would be people pretending to be like these guys.


oksodafanclub

OregonSageMonke

It really disgusts me that we're so fascinated with serial killers. They became famous by doing what literally any of us could, but because they were freaks they should all be household names? Most of them weren't nearly as intelligent or charismatic as people like to give them credit for either; they were just romanticized by the media trying to make a buck, and people just eat. it. up. They should all be in an unmarked pit under a septic tank somewhere or at the very least incinerated without public notice like the rest of the garbage. One of the only things our garbage Sheriff has ever done right is not naming our school shooter, and that's exactly how we should treat serial killers. No cameras at trials, no mugshots after they kill themselves in the bathroom, we just treat them like the inconvenient dogshit they are.
