Insane is a broad definition. Society is not natural, being cruel is natural. So who is to say who is insane. I could be classified insane but would never hit an innocent people, and yet so many "normal people" commit cruel and violent acts... and im pissed that mental health is associated with these people, we maybe sick but that doesnt make us killers or bad persons.
He talks as if he is the victim all the time to win sympathy. Like when speaking about him slaughtering a young woman with a knife, hge starts talking about losing his keys instead .. I mean lol
Shit ton of people praising him for his 'intelligence' and his ability to realise that his actions were horrible. The only thing he is smart at is making a shit ton of people believe that he is some sort of a super intelligent criminal. Trolling at its very best. He loved murdering people. There is a reason why he said it like it's an occupation, he loved it.
Centrist Philosopher before they were killers they were all victims. 😞 it’s terrifying how rational, normal people can turn to these terrible events because of their unresolved trauma.
I think this was the main reason he turned himself in. He just wanted to be able to openly talk about his mother, his frustrations, his life, the killings. The truth.
@Book Ghost Writer Karen S. Cole no offense but no one asked or cares. You have soooo many comments on this video and others pretty much bragging about your life. All due respect it’s very cool but just opening up a conversation with comments about your books or writers, or replying to comments and making it about yourself is very rude. Be humble and wait for someone to ask
I listen to this guy and he doesn't terrify me. Which is terrifying. The things he's talking about are horrifying for sure, but the way he talks, his mannerism, intelligence, and even the respect he has for his interviewer are fascinating. I think that's why he was so successful. No one would even bat and eye to him, let alone suspect him. He was truly invisible. Hell, even now there's part of me that don't want to believe he's capable of all of these things.
He's no different to a highly trained soldier, sent on killing missions by his government, he chooses to kill, therefore he must enjoy it to some degree....so what's the difference?.
Fortunately all uber calls and orders are digitally recorded and all drivers must give their information to work. If there were an "uber killer" it wouldn't take long to identify him.
Thats the exact reason why these people are so dangerous, they look completely harmless,but so just that you know Ed Kemper is more than 2 m tall you cant really see that on the video tho.
The difference between Ed Kemper and Charles Manson, for example, is the complete openness. Manson puts on a mad dog act to hide from himself whereas Kemper seems completely at peace with his own inhumanity.
@Aida its funny how the government is ok with putting away people for life for 'brainwashing' but also act as if its impossibility that the media is doing it to the masses.
The police never believe people. There was a lady that got free from the yourkshire ripper and told the police he had a heavy yourkshire accent. They didn't believe her. Years later it was true.
@UNIVERSAL COMPUTER not always as they embellish stories. But the documentary I saw that introduced the woman who got away. Said this as well so who knows.
Oddballkane because hundreds come out with “stories” when something is popular. Ed just wanted attention and he was so normal to the police, even hanging out with officers.
Oddballkane I mean, he hung around the police because he wanted to become a police officer himself, that obviously never happened but could you imagine if he was able to? Scary to think about.
Damn he's very articulate and well spoken. It's like he's analyzing somebody's else crimes and mindset but at the same time he's talking about himself. It's scary yet helpful to understand these murders.
“The darkest souls are not those which choose to exist within the hell of the abyss, but those which chose to break free from the abyss, and move silently among us.” -Dr. Samual Loomis
I listened to a podcast about him a while back. His intelligence and rationality make him appear really friendly actually. He apparently also does great in all his prison activities, volunteers for reading audiobooks for cancer patients and all. But then again when you listen to what he did with his victims, behead them and use their heads for sexual activity... it’s really sickening. But overall I believe that, if he had received a little bit of guidance towards the right path, he could’ve had an amazing life... it was more about his hatred towards his mother than anything else. He even turned himself in after killing her and her best friend because he didn’t see the point in continuing his crimes after that.
What buffles me the most is how he being so intelligent can literally knock up women and rape their face as an equivalent of "shut up mommy am I now a big boy or what?" - in totalitarian rises on a state level its also the more intellectual sphere that usually supports it so, the "emotionally evil und unrational" and, from the outside, obviously obnoxious thing to do ... A friend of mine who`se quite intelligent too, in his psychosis state (also dissociative personality etc.) would say - he thinks that emotion is actually the most firm thing in a human. He said that thats the metaphor of jesus walking on the water - water stands for emotion and it shows that emotion is more solid than we think and that It governs our behaviour, over intellect. Possibly. And it certainly is a dichotomy and paradox than can co-exist in many forms and shapes.
I am literally scared by how accurate they portrayed Kemper in Mindhunter, the voice, hints of light accent, the way he tells a story in high coherent language with much details.. amazing casting
@@inessa5923 we did. I found the actor to have a somewhat "dopey" drawl. The real Ed speaks very clearly and in an intelligent way that matches his genius IQ.
@@liviaramirez462 Its not Brittons fault, but I think that the scriptwriters fucked it up by going to the serial killer cliche of an obviously creepy maniac instead of going for the truly mesmerizing route of how some serial killers (Dahmer, Kemper and many others) are, which is perfectly unnoticable on the surface.
Yeah honestly I find the Mindhunter Ed Kemper like five times as creepy as the actual Ed Kemper. Something to do with the actor’s voice...I just find it bone-chilling
He's way too honest to having been a politician. He could have gotten away with it but brought his a$$ to the police station to stop this behavior he couldn't stop by himself. Politicians are meant to get away with murder and not even look guilty about it and lie.
I think maybe it was a bizarre concept of honor. His father was abusive to his mother, I think...and he wanted to love her...and wanted to love women...it's contradictory, yes, but he's severely mentally ill remember. It's disrespect and disgusting for a man to hit a woman...that may have been it in his sick mind.
Brandon Wainscott Yeah, IG Profile said before, Kempers dad was timid and was constantly being abused by his wife until he eventually left. Kempers mom then put all her anger on Kemper. She treated her daughters very well, but would lock Ed in the basement instead of letting him sleep in his own room.
That's the thing many movies get wrong. Killers in movie are usually so over exaggerated whereas in real life, like this guy, they blend in so well you wouldn't even know how fucked up they were unless you were one of their victims.
He wasn't very successful at what he did do tho. He'd definitely not win an award for serial killer of the year. Maybe tallest serial killer award, that's about it.
I know right, it's scary how intelligent and charismatic this guy is, knowing everything he did. he's just so likeable & could've had a totally better outcome in life.
@@majormajor7925 He got away with murder and was even friends with the police while the murders occurred. They used to talk to him about the killings happening around Santa Cruz. If he wasn't successful who is.
I find him interesting in a "I'd like to know as much as possible about these kinds of people so I know what to look for in case I ever run into one" kind of way, but I don't enjoy hearing about his acts. In fact, it's more terrifying than any horror movie, because this is reality. It's not some creepy monster living in a basement, it's a real, live, breathing human being who exists in the real world, and there are a lot more people like him walking around than we're aware of. Most of them manage to stay hidden in society because they don't act out on their insane impulses, but a few can't help themselves. I've had run-ins with a few people that would probably be capable of murdering innocent people as a coping mechanism for their own problems, but are too smart to actually do it. And they, too seem like completely normal people to everyone else besides those that have seen their true colours.
Wow this guy is very articulated and calm, but at the same time he tells his horrifying stories of killing without blinking or remorse. What a twisted mind. Human brains are so complex.
Andrej Antanasov he did turn himself in, so it seem like he had some kind of concern for others and wanted to stop himself killing. I understand your points though, it's hard to imagine a serial killer who isn't a sociopath or psychopath. In Kemper's case he may be a sociopath, not a psychopath, in other words his issues with his mother and in dealing with the opposite sex may have caused him to become violently antisocial.
Reza that puts him well into the 90th percentile of the population. I had a psych teacher, who was a very well respected psychologist, who said that an IQ difference of only 10 points can make any deep communication between people almost impossible. In Kempers case he would have had like a 20+ point difference on most people he ran into in normal everyday life.
He's a great presenter. No "um..." or "well..." fillers. Very confident and concise sentence structures. I bet he's read "How to win friends and influence people".
The sad thing is that this man is actually highly gifted he has a genius level iq sadly he didn’t use it for helping people he killed instead and btw that really explains how he was a close friend with police while he was killing people
@Kartikey Gupta no I meant that it’s sad he took that way he really could just be a helpful human in society but instead he went into doing his disgusting crimes he deserves what he got I was annoyed that he did his crimes instead of being a really helpful guy with a high iq he had a really close iq level to Einstein’s so yeah
He wasn't that accurate, he actually tried to make Kemper seem a lot more robotic, but Kemper was far from that if you actually pay attention to any of his interviews. He was only accurate in the things he said, and the timing, not the emotion.
I truly appreciate his willingness to allow us into the mind of a serial killer, to own and admit his guilt. This insight and raw honesty will help law enforcement solve many, many crimes.
He wouldn't have been able to cover up the murders of his mother and her friend. It wasn't altruism that made him turn himself in. He knew it was either he turned himself in, or they caught him, and a narcissist's need for control over a situation made him turn himself in rather than be caught.
@@52-hertz He's working. It's nothing but manipulation. He's trying to appeal to the empathy and compassion in the interviewer. It's the only way to achieve power or control over others now that he's been caught. And given that you're contemplating whether or not he could be a narcissist because of that, it worked on you as well. That's just how good he is at his craft.
What should freak everyone out is that he can be any of us. You can hear the emotion in his voice, he isn't emotionless. He's human. Maybe we aren't all as intelligent as he is, but the way he speaks reminds me of how I speak.
There's not a lot of eye movement. "Dead eyes" are a common sign of psychopathy. When I asked my wife if there was any emotion in my eyes, she literally said "not often, they sort of have a dead, lifeless quality about them." D:>
@@andrewwabik5125 "Dead eyes" are also a common sign of sleep deprivation, drug use, poor eyesight, ADD, Asperger's, apathy, etc. Some people are simply less expressive than others. I highly doubt that you're a psychopath.
@@inessa5923 I have at least one or two of those at any moment. I don't think I'm a psychopath, either. But having been tested, seen shrinks, and communicated with people...I would say I have more of it in me than most. The thing is, within a certain context, it can be useful. Maybe had he not had all of the horrific experiences he did growing up, and maybe if his mother wasn't as awful towards him, he could have done more good.
Kemper is unusually self aware for a serial killer and about as remorseful as these types of personality can get. he's one of the few that admits he doesn't belong in society and doesn't want to go back there.
Most psychopaths are VERY self aware. Their are so extremely self aware that they are narcissists. These psychopaths should be executed on the spot and we need to stop wasting tax payer money. Get them out of the gene pool
Promotionit ''wasting taxpayer money''. Do you know how much it costs to execute someone ? The State of Florida spent 7 millions to carry out Ted Bundy's execution. Some counties can't even afford it...
Rayotte see, we don't have to spend that much. Honestly we could just send them to death, slit their necks and let them bleed out. People have too much sympathy for killers and rapists. We don't need to spend money to kill people. We just need to start killing them.
Mystery Me I think the death penalty can totally be justified (and even needed) on some cases. But it's more complicated than that (1 in 25 sentenced to death is innocent; what about juveniles ? Mentally ill ?) So in theory the death penalty makes a lot of sense but in practice, it's quite complex.
9:55 this is the scariest part of this interview. His monotone voice and expression instantly change when revisiting a thought from his childhood. The part where his mom says he has to eat the chickens of which his father has just cut their heads off of. He laughs, kind of smirks to himself the his face goes back to normal as if it never happened. Glimpse of humanity.
@@ladofthedamned7796 people obviously DO have different "sides" in some sense. However, for that very reason it's wrong to assume every little behavior Kemper make is pure psychopathy and malicious manipulation. Believe it or not, normal people (capable of empathy and remorse) can and have become serial killers. Conversely, psychopaths have almost certainly done good things for people and society at various times. Life is complex.
His conversations with FBI Agents R Ressler and J MacDonald were so revealing and instrumental in the development of the BAU! I was able to interview Me Ressler for one of my research papers in my.psych college course. Kemper was a large part of our conversation. Kemper truly is the live embodiment of "don't judge a book by its cover".
He violently killed two teenage girls and locked their bodies in the trunk of his car, and he only panicked when he thought he'd locked the keys in there with them. Huh.
burymeinpink it's interesting the difference in the serial killers , after Ted Bundy according to him in the beginning he would always go into a state of panic and become ill after killing but I guess eventually it wore off
This guy is on a whole other level compared with all the other serial killers I’ve studied because he is able to rationalise himself and seems like an educated usual guy. That’s frightening AF. Some serial killers also come across as just being the average guy on the street, but *this* one, holy sh1t it’s so chilling.
He really is. If I met this guy out in the wild, where he wasn’t talking about mommy issues and murder, I’d be getting flirty. Big yikes. He’s the only serial killer who has this many good qualities, which actually just makes him extra awful.
I know what you mean. in addition to being analytical with a high IQ, it's like he must also have high emotional intelligence to be able to speak of this with amazing self control and awareness you don't even see in many people who do less offensive things because they lack self reflection. I just think, how could someone be able to regulate so well here but also be capable of committing horrific crimes? it is so complex, alarming, and sad what humans are capable of, even the ones who seemingly have remarkable minds.
The most chilling part of this interview : " To be walking up the stairs with a camera bag that belonged to a young woman that had her severed head in it. … Walking up to my apartment past a happy, young couple coming down the stairs who nodded and smiled at me as they went by. … And they’re going out on a date, where I’d love to be going, and I’m aware of both of these realities, and the distance between those two was so dramatic, so amazing, so violent[.]”
@Gowri Shankar U.V When he had a severed head in a bag to have sex with later and watched a happy couple go by him on the stairs smiling, he realized his relationship to women was 'unhealthy', shall we say. Very understandable realization.
I justo finishef it 2 minutes ago and that final scene gave me the creeeeeps, I wanted to see if he was even real and jeez, it's like hearing the same person! Nailed the voice perfectly!
David Fincher is an amazing director. The interviews with the actor portraying ed on mindhunters is spot on. The body language, mannerisms, stance, look and voice are chillingly accurate.
Being humans, the 'human minds are so complex' that even the medical professionals do not understand them fully, like the psychiatrist Nadal Hasan killed dozens of soldiers in 2009 at where he worked because he was radicalized by terrorists. czcams.com/video/TJOptN8aDe0/video.html
Mindhunter is based n a book written by the officer who created the criminal psychological profiling and spent thousand of hours talking with kuemper and others. They know what they are doing
@@jimmysikes697 I agree. If he were a true narcissist, he'd never have turned himself in. A narcissist is almost impossible to "fix" because they don't believe there is anything wrong with them. Watching the real Kemper interviews and Mindhunter , it almost brings to mind Clarice Starling's line in SotL. "They don't have a word for what he is. "
J Sikes Every psychopath/sociopath are narcissistic. Noticing how he loves hearing himself talk? Me me me. Hes also so convincing, talks about decapitated heads like it were nothing to it, slick as fuck. A fascinating dude though, Big Ed. Makes u forget the morbid stuff hes done 👀
Johan Schöld Ek spot on! Also if we really listen and believe what this turd is saying, the mystique will disappear! I believe he is right. It is easy to do and get away with crime, if one is not connected to the victim. So often people hold damaged individuals, like this, up to be a Genius of some sort! The culture of celebrity gets fed. There are many dangerous people around, who most of the time fit in with others. Once they learn, like this bozo, that they can get away with stuff and become a “celebrity” the real ride begins.
Imperium Europa HOLY FUCK, DUUUUUUDE! Ian Brady is one of the sickest fucks ever to walk the face of the northern hemisphere! The mind games he played with little Keith’s mother is sickening. What him and this Hindley Bitch did is sickening beyond belief! Being proud of owning a first class edition of this nasty cunts book makes you a fucking disgrace. Sick Fuck
Caroline Rowland Idiots with a weak moral compass often try and understand serial killers- I think it’s a form of sexual attraction if I’m honest, exactly the type of person the serial killer will attack!
@@geraldrooney5677 I completely disagree with that statement. Wanting to understand someone's thought process is not an indication of a weak moral compass. It's a natural, albeit maybe morbid, curiosity.
I find it interesting also how Edmund Kemper has been able to convince everyone over the years that his remorse and feelings are genuine. All the comments under the youtube interviews seem to view him in quite a surprisingly positive light, because of how good an actor and how adept he is at controlling his image as a honest man and the narrative surrounding his crimes. For instance, he is able to make it seem like killing his mother brought him catharsis and hence he felt he did not need to kill anymore, and felt remorse for his actions and felt he should be punished. In actuality, he omits the fact he was running out of time and that he was a fugitive on the run, and realised he would eventually be caught if he didn't turn himself in. He also does not admit that he applied for parole multiple times, destroying the whole narrative that he felt genuine remorse. But he doesn't say the whole story, and so people in the comments really buy into his assertion he's not fully evil and can be reformed. The fact that he has often told the truth, unlike most serial killers, about his crimes, really helps to sell the story that he's honest. He really is an effective and dangerously intelligent manipulator, no wonder he was able to get out of the psychiatric unit and get his record wiped by the staff members after killing his two grandparents in cold blood.
Yup. Exactly how he caught his victims in the first place.. if anything, if even after his crimes are out in the open people would still be happy to let him out, that makes him one of the scariest and most dangerous killers of them all.
He is an empty shell who has no idea of emotion, he is able to percirve emotion and its effects but not have it himself rather he builds emotions from his skills, a genius mind haunted by emptyness
He was eerily right in the beginning when he said that there definitely were other serial killers out there who basically have no intention of turning themselves in and will just keep killing. Samuel Little was one of those people, and he began killing about the same time Ed did, in the early 70s, but continued all the way until the late 90s.
Tom Dwan He alluded to it in the interview, being interviewed by a man with motives against porn. Toward the end of the interview he mentions several times how little Ted Bundys can be avoided if "violent" porn ceased. It's a form of control. These maniacs are narcissistic, and any interviews they offer are to feed that ego.
I was a Corrections Corporal for ODOC. He reminds me of the many Times I talked to Verna Stafford and watched her hold church meetings. It’s disarming how some killers lull you into a false sense with intellect, calmness and personality. One killer I worked with would kill people considered of lower intellect. He held four doctorate degrees. One night he told me I was safe though, as he considered me educated and versed in philosophy, arts, world events and a “PhD” in the streets following my 24 year career as a Paramedic/Firefighter and Deputy Sheriff up to that point.
he has the ability to dissect his own mind, rationalize his actions/thoughts/etc, and is insanely intelligent.... what's terrifying is imagining what life would be like if he continued his spree
I'd guess that it would be almost all of them. My belief is that people aren't born evil, but are created through their upbringing and life experiences and their horrible activities are some sort of perverse coping mechanism.
The line is amazingly fine. Because Ed Kemper is human. You see, there is nothing between to be human and not to be, like imaginge that you were a tree and could observe humans, in what way would that be?. The best part is when you realise that this darkness lives inside all of us, so you can learn true roots of evil to know how to be good.
It's amazing how somebody that twisted can be so articulate, insightful and introspective. Perhaps it's because he has rehearsed it in his head a thousand times - but he tells these stories in a captivating way, almost as if he is intentionally trying to be entertaining. The actor who played Ed Kemper in the Netflix series, Mindhunter, captures his mannerisms perfectly.
Oh god, don’t be like those women who fall in love with a killer and send him letters and shit. Everything aside, I must agree. But this man is fucking sick.
The scariest part of all of this to me, it’s Kemper, in spite of his height and strength, doesn’t look threatening. Something in his demeanour almost reassures you, he’s harmless. Which is why I can understand why people wouldn’t see him as a killer until it was too late and obvious there’s something seriously wrong with him. Other serial killers, have something in them that makes you feel uncomfortable almost from the start.
The glasses and the moustache gives him an intellectual vibe. He's also chubby, I personally whenever I see a tall chubby guy I don't feel intimidated at all and all I want to do is to hug the guy even though I'm very petite.
Crazy how killers like this a lot of the time are so viciously proud of what they've done. You can almost see him resisting smiling through the whole thing, absolutely mind boggling.
they just like the attention an unfortunately other losers will watch this an try project it. luckily we live in a day an age where its easy to detect people like this now through internet use etc. some people want to rehabilitate them but myself i think we need to just take them out back an put a bullet in there head no questions asked.

I went into this like most people, thinking a serial killer is as scary as it gets, but when the psycho in question is analysing his ow madness is Terrifying
@@milkyoni No he didn't. Kemper in the show comes across as intelligent, articulate, incredibly frightening. All the qualities that made him such a famous killer.

Topsoil Depletion Awareness (closing the loop) just pay attention To the back story of these serial killers....they all have abusive/weak mothers and absent/abusive fathers
I don't imagine anyone would disagree with that. In fact, FBI profilers have said that, while every serial killer shares a common abnormality in their brain scans and medical diagnosis, Kemper may be the only serial killer on record whom they believe was created by his environment and upbringing, by circumstance rather than an inate abnormality. That makes his case even more tragic, I feel.
@@gordonramsdale depends how you use it, if you utlise what you have been given to its fullest then you succeed, if I had his iq I would be doing a double major in stem or something and done sports with the height as an extracuricular activity
@@arsh949 @Arsh No you wouldn't, you'd be in prison, I'm not talking about IQ in general but in this instance your level of intelligence is irrelevant as you will still be beheading every pretty lady you walk past. Also, being 6'9 vastly diminishes quality of life and life expectancy. Finally, natural intelligence is overrated, many people with his iq have no degree and no money, many people with 115-130 iq may do better academically, and also he was likely not born super intelligent but by reading constantly as a child while your mind is developing it will strengthen it, that's why when a poor math student in Korea moves to the USA they are a top student.
@@siemniak having high iq is one thing, but applying it is another thing, having a high iq is already one step completed, applying it is only one more step
@Witty Witty He absolutely was but then that still doesn't justify any of his actions or else the revenge goes on forever. He needed help yet the earlier killing of animals suggested he already felt sufficiently out of place to not believe he'd be accepted enough to get that help.
Watching this makes me applaud Mindhunter’s filmmakers for casting the right actor. Even if the performer was heavier than the real Kemper, it doesn’t matter. On everything else, WOW! It’s like they’re twins.
It amazes me how many people are quick to defend Kemper but point fingers at his mother. Please remember that an intelligent sociopath like Kemper can make you perceive him in a way that he wants you to, and in a way that comes across as sincere. I'm not saying his mother wasn't a nasty piece of work, i mean i still harbour animosity and other feelings towards mine. However this is the 'man' that killed his own grandparents at 15yo to "see what it felt like". .killed his own mothers parents and she still stood by him (mine wouldn't have) so please remember that he was always deranged and its not fair to point fingers at his mother when she is not here to defend herself.
He did not kill his mothers parents. He killed his paternal grandparents. He doesn't blame his mother at all. He understands that he himself made his ultimate decisions to kill and unlike most serial killers, he wanted to stop but couldn't so he turned himself in. What other serial killer do you know that has done that without playing a taunting game with law enforcement. Example, BTK.
Niese Rivera Ok thanks for educating me, but it's very easy to assume that he would have also killed his paternal grand parents like he did his paternal mother. I don't blame him for being deranged unfortunately we don't choose the way we are. However just because he handed himself in, and perhaps appears 'less' evil than most serial killers should we give him a medal? Had one of his victims been a sister, daughter, mother of yours would you still speak as defensively of him.. Hey, this guy fucked his mothers decapitated head but you know what i might even buy him a few pints.
***** i'm with you man, and we have to remember that he befriended the psychiatrists when he was arrested for the double murder at 15. Sources say that he convinced them to release him early and that he was rehabilitated and posed no further threat. The kid with an iq shy of 140 at 15yo and not even trained psychiatrists could see through his facade. The end result being as we now know, he just went on to kill again.
Psychos and sociopaths never take responsibility for their actions. So regardless of his mother's character it's natural for him to pin the blame on others. They are also narcissists and like to make it all about them. And they are master manipulators that take pleasure from fooling the idiots they see in front of them. People are just objects to be played with for their own satisfaction and beneath them. Everything that comes out of their mouths is glib bullshit so they can't be trusted on what they say, only on how they act.
@different pov no ted Bundy's father was his own grandfather. They hid from him tht the girl he used to consider her sister was her mother.his grandfather (Ted's biological father) was abusive,alcoholic and used to beat his grandmother n beat their family dog. Her grandmother used to recieve ECT for her depression.
He is sane enough to expertly dissect his own insanity. That’s what scares the hell outta me.

I think this was the main reason he turned himself in. He just wanted to be able to openly talk about his mother, his frustrations, his life, the killings. The truth.
He wants you to think that. He is very manipulative
@Book Ghost Writer Karen S. Cole what the hell are you talking about dude
@Book Ghost Writer Karen S. Cole is this like the epilogue to your book
@@sergeytoropin6428 What would he gain from lying, though? Surely not his freedom.
@Book Ghost Writer Karen S. Cole no offense but no one asked or cares. You have soooo many comments on this video and others pretty much bragging about your life. All due respect it’s very cool but just opening up a conversation with comments about your books or writers, or replying to comments and making it about yourself is very rude. Be humble and wait for someone to ask
I listen to this guy and he doesn't terrify me. Which is terrifying. The things he's talking about are horrifying for sure, but the way he talks, his mannerism, intelligence, and even the respect he has for his interviewer are fascinating. I think that's why he was so successful. No one would even bat and eye to him, let alone suspect him. He was truly invisible. Hell, even now there's part of me that don't want to believe he's capable of all of these things.
He hid in plain sight just like Gus Fring and Walter White.
Well that's his skill. It's pretty obvious these women trusted this man. He's had a lot of practice. Manipulation.
He's like 6'7". Dudes a monster who brutally killed innocent women and shouldn't be looked at for inspiration.
He's no different to a highly trained soldier, sent on killing missions by his government, he chooses to kill, therefore he must enjoy it to some degree....so what's the difference?.

Thats the exact reason why these people are so dangerous, they look completely harmless,but so just that you know Ed Kemper is more than 2 m tall you cant really see that on the video tho.
🤣🤣🤣
@@SXI96 Ah, yes, the average Apple engingeer back in 1984
The difference between Ed Kemper and Charles Manson, for example, is the complete openness. Manson puts on a mad dog act to hide from himself whereas Kemper seems completely at peace with his own inhumanity.
Manson never killed anyone! He was a good guy
That and about 2 feet in height.
Manson also didn’t carry severed heads in camera bags
Manson never actually killed someone, just influenced others which I guess is more dangerous. But not as dangerous as repeating false facts. 🧐
@Aida its funny how the government is ok with putting away people for life for 'brainwashing' but also act as if its impossibility that the media is doing it to the masses.

The police never believe people. There was a lady that got free from the yourkshire ripper and told the police he had a heavy yourkshire accent. They didn't believe her. Years later it was true.
@UNIVERSAL COMPUTER not always as they embellish stories. But the documentary I saw that introduced the woman who got away. Said this as well so who knows.
Oddballkane because hundreds come out with “stories” when something is popular. Ed just wanted attention and he was so normal to the police, even hanging out with officers.
@@jessicabruv6197 I know I've read his story he was called a friendly nuance. He was hanging round the police a lot.
Oddballkane I mean, he hung around the police because he wanted to become a police officer himself, that obviously never happened but could you imagine if he was able to? Scary to think about.
Damn he's very articulate and well spoken. It's like he's analyzing somebody's else crimes and mindset but at the same time he's talking about himself. It's scary yet helpful to understand these murders.

Yeah the actor dialed up the creep factor a litttle too high

Just remember he turned himself in, he could’ve been out here living like everyone else and no one would expect it
He already did 5 years for killing his grandparents tho
Rip steez
47 shit
He even requested for the death penalty, but at the time, the capital punishment wasn’t an option in CA.

He’s tall , big , smart , and sounds friendly enough to trust. Sounds like those people stood no chance
He didn’t get caught...he handed himself in.
Now that is scary.
Ned flanders goes sicko mode
Psycho 🙄

@@czeky1 There's a phrase "sicko mode" 🙄
Hi-deedly-dead
you're thinking of btk
I listened to a podcast about him a while back. His intelligence and rationality make him appear really friendly actually. He apparently also does great in all his prison activities, volunteers for reading audiobooks for cancer patients and all.
But then again when you listen to what he did with his victims, behead them and use their heads for sexual activity... it’s really sickening.
But overall I believe that, if he had received a little bit of guidance towards the right path, he could’ve had an amazing life... it was more about his hatred towards his mother than anything else. He even turned himself in after killing her and her best friend because he didn’t see the point in continuing his crimes after that.
What buffles me the most is how he being so intelligent can literally knock up women and rape their face as an equivalent of "shut up mommy am I now a big boy or what?" - in totalitarian rises on a state level its also the more intellectual sphere that usually supports it so,
the "emotionally evil und unrational" and, from the outside, obviously obnoxious thing to do ...
A friend of mine who`se quite intelligent too, in his psychosis state (also dissociative personality etc.) would say - he thinks that emotion is actually the most firm thing in a human. He said that thats the metaphor of jesus walking on the water - water stands for emotion and it shows that emotion is more solid than we think and that
It governs our behaviour, over intellect. Possibly. And it certainly is a dichotomy and paradox than can co-exist in many forms and shapes.
He could have done so before the age of maybe 3 or 4, but after that I believe he became evil, and you can never turn back from that
What’s the podcast name buddy?
@@ai__ninja I know that there is a german podcast with two episodes about him called „Serienkiller“
He also slept in his mother‘s bad with her friends head after he killed them
I am literally scared by how accurate they portrayed Kemper in Mindhunter, the voice, hints of light accent, the way he tells a story in high coherent language with much details.. amazing casting
Nah, the actor made him seem goofy and like an oddball. The real Ed is cool and collected.
@@FEWGEE1 Did we watch the same show?
Why would you be literally scared about how someone played him in a TV series?
@@inessa5923 we did. I found the actor to have a somewhat "dopey" drawl. The real Ed speaks very clearly and in an intelligent way that matches his genius IQ.
He actually looks and sounds a lot more normal than the guy who played him in Mindhunter
But you have to admit that Cameron Britton played him very well like almost the same even how he talks
True, shows always go a bit over the top to make the killer seem as intense and dramatic as possible.
@@liviaramirez462 Its not Brittons fault, but I think that the scriptwriters fucked it up by going to the serial killer cliche of an obviously creepy maniac instead of going for the truly mesmerizing route of how some serial killers (Dahmer, Kemper and many others) are, which is perfectly unnoticable on the surface.
Yea true. It's too dramatic for my taste. I love the real ed kemper though he might kill me. Literally
Yeah honestly I find the Mindhunter Ed Kemper like five times as creepy as the actual Ed Kemper. Something to do with the actor’s voice...I just find it bone-chilling
Whats truly scary is how easily i could become friends with this guy if i didn't already know about him.
What's really scary is anyone could've ended up like that guy.
Jack Bars people are being developed at young ages every day turning into this guy
Heck, I’d date him. He’s (physically) just my type. Goes to show you never really know people.
@@jackbars44 Not really. Psychopaths are usually born that way or due to birth complications
@@vaniwa8273 it's arguable that he was a sociopath rather than a psychopath
His verbal eloquence is better than some politicians I know. He just picked the wrong vocation.
Absolutely, as is the vocabulary of Ted Bundy and Jeffry Dahmer.
His IQ is 145 which is genius or borderline genius. He could pick up any career in liberal arts or STEM and do great in it.
He's way too honest to having been a politician. He could have gotten away with it but brought his a$$ to the police station to stop this behavior he couldn't stop by himself. Politicians are meant to get away with murder and not even look guilty about it and lie.
Who's to say politicians aren't exactly like this guy
I feel like i remember reading that psychopaths gravitate towards being politicians, doctors, CEOs and cops, among other professions.

Mind Hunters is my jAm!💯 season 2 coming Aug 16th!!!
Judge: "I'm sentencing you to eight life sentences for hitting..."
Ed Kemper: "I killed them, never hit them."
Judge: "Okay..."
"I'm not gonna hurt you... I'm just gonna bash your fucking brains in!"
I think maybe it was a bizarre concept of honor. His father was abusive to his mother, I think...and he wanted to love her...and wanted to love women...it's contradictory, yes, but he's severely mentally ill remember. It's disrespect and disgusting for a man to hit a woman...that may have been it in his sick mind.
You are free to go
@IG profile Ah. Thanks for the clarification.
Brandon Wainscott Yeah, IG Profile said before, Kempers dad was timid and was constantly being abused by his wife until he eventually left. Kempers mom then put all her anger on Kemper. She treated her daughters very well, but would lock Ed in the basement instead of letting him sleep in his own room.
The creepy thing is how normal he appeared. He speaks so rationally about everything. Scary af! 😨
That's the thing many movies get wrong. Killers in movie are usually so over exaggerated whereas in real life, like this guy, they blend in so well you wouldn't even know how fucked up they were unless you were one of their victims.
If this guy wasn’t a psychotic killer, he would have been highly successful at whatever he did. Super smart guy just batshit crazy
He wasn't very successful at what he did do tho. He'd definitely not win an award for serial killer of the year. Maybe tallest serial killer award, that's about it.

Bloke Masterson lol he literally murdered innocent people.... 🙄
I find him interesting in a "I'd like to know as much as possible about these kinds of people so I know what to look for in case I ever run into one" kind of way, but I don't enjoy hearing about his acts. In fact, it's more terrifying than any horror movie, because this is reality. It's not some creepy monster living in a basement, it's a real, live, breathing human being who exists in the real world, and there are a lot more people like him walking around than we're aware of. Most of them manage to stay hidden in society because they don't act out on their insane impulses, but a few can't help themselves. I've had run-ins with a few people that would probably be capable of murdering innocent people as a coping mechanism for their own problems, but are too smart to actually do it. And they, too seem like completely normal people to everyone else besides those that have seen their true colours.
kinda like asmr.
Wow this guy is very articulated and calm, but at the same time he tells his horrifying stories of killing without blinking or remorse. What a twisted mind. Human brains are so complex.
He feels incredible remorse
I believe I haven’t read anything that says he’s a psychopath. I think he feels guilt.
Andrej Antanasov he did turn himself in, so it seem like he had some kind of concern for others and wanted to stop himself killing. I understand your points though, it's hard to imagine a serial killer who isn't a sociopath or psychopath. In Kemper's case he may be a sociopath, not a psychopath, in other words his issues with his mother and in dealing with the opposite sex may have caused him to become violently antisocial.
Apparently he had an IQ of 145
Reza that puts him well into the 90th percentile of the population. I had a psych teacher, who was a very well respected psychologist, who said that an IQ difference of only 10 points can make any deep communication between people almost impossible. In Kempers case he would have had like a 20+ point difference on most people he ran into in normal everyday life.
He's a great presenter. No "um..." or "well..." fillers. Very confident and concise sentence structures. I bet he's read "How to win friends and influence people".

@Kartikey Gupta kind of , who doesn't deserve to die.
Just think of the people who lost their near and dear ones due to this man's madness
Just shows the influence that parents have on early years. I think Kemper was not mad just ruined emotionally by his parents
He's handling the psychiatric analysis about his persona and his actions, all by himself.

I truly appreciate his willingness to allow us into the mind of a serial killer, to own and admit his guilt. This insight and raw honesty will help law enforcement solve many, many crimes.

Crazy part is he turned himself in. He could’ve kept going for years especially with his intelligence, that’s what’s scary about him.
He wouldn't have been able to cover up the murders of his mother and her friend. It wasn't altruism that made him turn himself in. He knew it was either he turned himself in, or they caught him, and a narcissist's need for control over a situation made him turn himself in rather than be caught.
@@joojoosasa perfectly said.
@@joojoosasa Is he really a narcissist? He seems to know that he's wrong and did wrong things. A narcissist would never do that
@@52-hertz He's working. It's nothing but manipulation. He's trying to appeal to the empathy and compassion in the interviewer.

@bb_066 lol
There's not a lot of eye movement. "Dead eyes" are a common sign of psychopathy. When I asked my wife if there was any emotion in my eyes, she literally said "not often, they sort of have a dead, lifeless quality about them." D:>
@@andrewwabik5125 "Dead eyes" are also a common sign of sleep deprivation, drug use, poor eyesight, ADD, Asperger's, apathy, etc. Some people are simply less expressive than others. I highly doubt that you're a psychopath.
@@inessa5923 I have at least one or two of those at any moment. I don't think I'm a psychopath, either. But having been tested, seen shrinks, and communicated with people...I would say I have more of it in me than most. The thing is, within a certain context, it can be useful. Maybe had he not had all of the horrific experiences he did growing up, and maybe if his mother wasn't as awful towards him, he could have done more good.

Bars
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard... which is dumb because yeah it’s dumb....
Kemper is unusually self aware for a serial killer and about as remorseful as these types of personality can get. he's one of the few that admits he doesn't belong in society and doesn't want to go back there.
Yes But Dahmer and Bundy didn't turn themselves in. Kemper did.
Plus Bundy blamed his fuckery on pornography.
Most psychopaths are VERY self aware. Their are so extremely self aware that they are narcissists. These psychopaths should be executed on the spot and we need to stop wasting tax payer money. Get them out of the gene pool
Promotionit ''wasting taxpayer money''. Do you know how much it costs to execute someone ? The State of Florida spent 7 millions to carry out Ted Bundy's execution. Some counties can't even afford it...
Rayotte see, we don't have to spend that much. Honestly we could just send them to death, slit their necks and let them bleed out. People have too much sympathy for killers and rapists. We don't need to spend money to kill people. We just need to start killing them.
Mystery Me I think the death penalty can totally be justified (and even needed) on some cases. But it's more complicated than that (1 in 25 sentenced to death is innocent; what about juveniles ? Mentally ill ?) So in theory the death penalty makes a lot of sense but in practice, it's quite complex.

Conversely, psychopaths have almost certainly done good things for people and society at various times. Life is complex.
@@julianmarx2002 Beautifully said.
His conversations with FBI Agents R Ressler and J MacDonald were so revealing and instrumental in the development of the BAU!
I was able to interview Me Ressler for one of my research papers in my.psych college course. Kemper was a large part of our conversation.
Kemper truly is the live embodiment of "don't judge a book by its cover".
He violently killed two teenage girls and locked their bodies in the trunk of his car, and he only panicked when he thought he'd locked the keys in there with them. Huh.
Because in that moment, he lost control.
burymeinpink it's interesting the difference in the serial killers , after Ted Bundy according to him in the beginning he would always go into a state of panic and become ill after killing but I guess eventually it wore off
burymeinpink Well, if you just killed two teenage girls and lock your keys in your car. How are you going to get your keys? Call the police?
lol
burymeinpink...a true sociopath
He speaks like he is reading a book. He reads all the time. So he adopted the framing, patterns and the words used in books.
Mads Nyeland Dont we all?
Mads Nyeland great observation. Honestly people don’t usually use such descriptive sentences. It is like reading a book.. much like a script
So you mean he's literate? A rare trait nowadays

Dude could've been employed in a top position in some job right now...if it weren't for him going full psycho mode,what a shame
This guy is on a whole other level compared with all the other serial killers I’ve studied because he is able to rationalise himself and seems like an educated usual guy. That’s frightening AF. Some serial killers also come across as just being the average guy on the street, but *this* one, holy sh1t it’s so chilling.
He really is. If I met this guy out in the wild, where he wasn’t talking about mommy issues and murder, I’d be getting flirty. Big yikes. He’s the only serial killer who has this many good qualities, which actually just makes him extra awful.
@@katherinethompson3239 SL**
I know what you mean. in addition to being analytical with a high IQ, it's like he must also have high emotional intelligence to be able to speak of this with amazing self control and awareness you don't even see in many people who do less offensive things because they lack self reflection. I just think, how could someone be able to regulate so well here but also be capable of committing horrific crimes? it is so complex, alarming, and sad what humans are capable of, even the ones who seemingly have remarkable minds.
He's similar to Dahmer imo.
@@QueenJaneway Yes. My thoughts exactly
I feel like he interviewed himself in his head obsessively for years. If this was a job interview he'd be hired on the spot like dang
The most chilling part of this interview :
" To be walking up the stairs with a camera bag that belonged to a young woman that had her severed head in it. … Walking up to my apartment past a happy, young couple coming down the stairs who nodded and smiled at me as they went by. … And they’re going out on a date, where I’d love to be going, and I’m aware of both of these realities, and the distance between those two was so dramatic, so amazing, so violent[.]”
Facts of life
yes! the self awareness is fascinating and terrifying at the same time!
It’s so haunting and tragic at the same time
Yes, I think we can all relate to that too.
@Gowri Shankar U.V When he had a severed head in a bag to have sex with later and watched a happy couple go by him on the stairs smiling, he realized his relationship to women was 'unhealthy', shall we say. Very understandable realization.
Watching this interview after watching Mindhunter...so strange seeing the actual thing
The accuracy of the representation as far as him mannerisms go is detailed, feels shocking to watch,
The actor really nailed it!
Nailed it
I justo finishef it 2 minutes ago and that final scene gave me the creeeeeps, I wanted to see if he was even real and jeez, it's like hearing the same person! Nailed the voice perfectly!
David Fincher is an amazing director. The interviews with the actor portraying ed on mindhunters is spot on. The body language, mannerisms, stance, look and voice are chillingly accurate.
Watching this, makes you realize just how well the actor in Mindhunter portrayed Ed Kemper, even to the tone of voice.
I listened to Ed Kemper, Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer and it’s scary how articulate these guys were.
Being humans, the 'human minds are so complex' that even the medical professionals do not understand them fully, like the psychiatrist Nadal Hasan killed dozens of soldiers in 2009 at where he worked because he was radicalized by terrorists.

@@jimmysikes697 I agree. If he were a true narcissist, he'd never have turned himself in. A narcissist is almost impossible to "fix" because they don't believe there is anything wrong with them. Watching the real Kemper interviews and Mindhunter , it almost brings to mind Clarice Starling's line in SotL. "They don't have a word for what he is. "
J Sikes Every psychopath/sociopath are narcissistic. Noticing how he loves hearing himself talk? Me me me. Hes also so convincing, talks about decapitated heads like it were nothing to it, slick as fuck. A fascinating dude though, Big Ed. Makes u forget the morbid stuff hes done 👀
Johan Schöld Ek spot on! Also if we really listen and believe what this turd is saying, the mystique will disappear! I believe he is right. It is easy to do and get away with crime, if one is not connected to the victim. So often people hold damaged individuals, like this, up to be a Genius of some sort! The culture of celebrity gets fed. There are many dangerous people around, who most of the time fit in with others. Once they learn, like this bozo, that they can get away with stuff and become a “celebrity” the real ride begins.
It is crazy how seemingly sane this man is, he is so articulate it is hard to remember he is a serial killer

You can understand without agreeing.
That's how we catch these people, at least when...they don't end up turning themselves in.
I find it interesting also how Edmund Kemper has been able to convince everyone over the years that his remorse and feelings are genuine. All the comments under the youtube interviews seem to view him in quite a surprisingly positive light, because of how good an actor and how adept he is at controlling his image as a honest man and the narrative surrounding his crimes. For instance, he is able to make it seem like killing his mother brought him catharsis and hence he felt he did not need to kill anymore, and felt remorse for his actions and felt he should be punished. In actuality, he omits the fact he was running out of time and that he was a fugitive on the run, and realised he would eventually be caught if he didn't turn himself in. He also does not admit that he applied for parole multiple times, destroying the whole narrative that he felt genuine remorse. But he doesn't say the whole story, and so people in the comments really buy into his assertion he's not fully evil and can be reformed. The fact that he has often told the truth, unlike most serial killers, about his crimes, really helps to sell the story that he's honest. He really is an effective and dangerously intelligent manipulator, no wonder he was able to get out of the psychiatric unit and get his record wiped by the staff members after killing his two grandparents in cold blood.
Yup. Exactly how he caught his victims in the first place.. if anything, if even after his crimes are out in the open people would still be happy to let him out, that makes him one of the scariest and most dangerous killers of them all.
just because i think he might have remorse doesnt mean id trust him even with a spoon. he is off and never should be released.
i still didn't get your point on him turning himself in. he wasn't a fugitive because he wasn't a suspect.
He is an empty shell who has no idea of emotion, he is able to percirve emotion and its effects but not have it himself rather he builds emotions from his skills, a genius mind haunted by emptyness
He was eerily right in the beginning when he said that there definitely were other serial killers out there who basically have no intention of turning themselves in and will just keep killing. Samuel Little was one of those people, and he began killing about the same time Ed did, in the early 70s, but continued all the way until the late 90s.
He looks like me lol

At least he didn't blame it on porn like Bundy did.
Tom Dwan He alluded to it in the interview, being interviewed by a man with motives against porn. Toward the end of the interview he mentions several times how little Ted Bundys can be avoided if "violent" porn ceased.
It's a form of control. These maniacs are narcissistic, and any interviews they offer are to feed that ego.
Yea he just blamed it on his mother, that's soooo much better.

I was a Corrections Corporal for ODOC. He reminds me of the many Times I talked to Verna Stafford and watched her hold church meetings. It’s disarming how some killers lull you into a false sense with intellect, calmness and personality. One killer I worked with would kill people considered of lower intellect. He held four doctorate degrees. One night he told me I was safe though, as he considered me educated and versed in philosophy, arts, world events and a “PhD” in the streets following my 24 year career as a Paramedic/Firefighter and Deputy Sheriff up to that point.
he has the ability to dissect his own mind, rationalize his actions/thoughts/etc, and is insanely intelligent....
what's terrifying is imagining what life would be like if he continued his spree
I wonder how many people became serial killers because of the way their parents raised them. Some people should not have kids.
I'd guess that it would be almost all of them. My belief is that people aren't born evil, but are created through their upbringing and life experiences and their horrible activities are some sort of perverse coping mechanism.
Very few. Psychopaths are born but i guess combining that with a shit childhood could set them off.
@@burnoutberry babies are innocent but the evil is born with them. Its "unrealised potential" until they can physically act on it.
Yes , but it does not mean he would become a serial killer..
The line is amazingly fine. Because Ed Kemper is human. You see, there is nothing between to be human and not to be, like imaginge that you were a tree and could observe humans, in what way would that be?. The best part is when you realise that this darkness lives inside all of us, so you can learn true roots of evil to know how to be good.
"It's not easy butchering people.... it's hard work."
It's true.
So what are you trying to say exactly. There's literally nothing valuable in that phrase.

It's amazing how somebody that twisted can be so articulate, insightful and introspective. Perhaps it's because he has rehearsed it in his head a thousand times - but he tells these stories in a captivating way, almost as if he is intentionally trying to be entertaining.

His voice is so absolutely comforting

Syzygy236 lol I’m Fatima..why do u think I’m fascinating?
The scariest part of all of this to me, it’s Kemper, in spite of his height and strength, doesn’t look threatening. Something in his demeanour almost reassures you, he’s harmless. Which is why I can understand why people wouldn’t see him as a killer until it was too late and obvious there’s something seriously wrong with him. Other serial killers, have something in them that makes you feel uncomfortable almost from the start.
The glasses and the moustache gives him an intellectual vibe. He's also chubby, I personally whenever I see a tall chubby guy I don't feel intimidated at all and all I want to do is to hug the guy even though I'm very petite.
His eyes are dead
Dream match, Kemper vs. Richard Kuklinski in a cage, no holds barred. I think Kuklinski would tear Old Ed apart.
Anybody here watching who hasn’t watched mind hunters on Netflix must do so, ed kemper has a big role, and it’s a very well done show
Crazy how killers like this a lot of the time are so viciously proud of what they've done. You can almost see him resisting smiling through the whole thing, absolutely mind boggling.
they just like the attention an unfortunately other losers will watch this an try project it. luckily we live in a day an age where its easy to detect people like this now through internet use etc. some people want to rehabilitate them but myself i think we need to just take them out back an put a bullet in there head no questions asked.

Some people might disagree but his mother had a massive role to play in Ed Kemper becoming the way he did.

How so?
@@xxnotmuchxx your first impression of women
Topsoil Depletion Awareness (closing the loop) just pay attention
To the back story of these serial killers....they all have abusive/weak mothers and absent/abusive fathers
I don't imagine anyone would disagree with that. In fact, FBI profilers have said that, while every serial killer shares a common abnormality in their brain scans and medical diagnosis, Kemper may be the only serial killer on record whom they believe was created by his environment and upbringing, by circumstance rather than an inate abnormality. That makes his case even more tragic, I feel.
one of the most gifted people of all time, not everyone is 6'9 with an iq of 145, it is sad to see how it was wasted.
Bein 6'9 isn't a gift, and it seems like he was also born a psychopath, different to everyone around him, so you'd much rather be normal than this
@@gordonramsdale depends how you use it, if you utlise what you have been given to its fullest then you succeed, if I had his iq I would be doing a double major in stem or something and done sports with the height as an extracuricular activity
@@arsh949 @Arsh No you wouldn't, you'd be in prison, I'm not talking about IQ in general but in this instance your level of intelligence is irrelevant as you will still be beheading every pretty lady you walk past. Also, being 6'9 vastly diminishes quality of life and life expectancy. Finally, natural intelligence is overrated, many people with his iq have no degree and no money, many people with 115-130 iq may do better academically, and also he was likely not born super intelligent but by reading constantly as a child while your mind is developing it will strengthen it, that's why when a poor math student in Korea moves to the USA they are a top student.

Watching this makes me applaud Mindhunter’s filmmakers for casting the right actor. Even if the performer was heavier than the real Kemper, it doesn’t matter. On everything else, WOW! It’s like they’re twins.

It amazes me how many people are quick to defend Kemper but point fingers at his mother. Please remember that an intelligent sociopath like Kemper can make you perceive him in a way that he wants you to, and in a way that comes across as sincere. I'm not saying his mother wasn't a nasty piece of work, i mean i still harbour animosity and other feelings towards mine. However this is the 'man' that killed his own grandparents at 15yo to "see what it felt like". .killed his own mothers parents and she still stood by him (mine wouldn't have) so please remember that he was always deranged and its not fair to point fingers at his mother when she is not here to defend herself.
He did not kill his mothers parents. He killed his paternal grandparents.
He doesn't blame his mother at all. He understands that he himself made his ultimate decisions to kill and unlike most serial killers, he wanted to stop but couldn't so he turned himself in. What other serial killer do you know that has done that without playing a taunting game with law enforcement. Example, BTK.
Niese Rivera Ok thanks for educating me, but it's very easy to assume that he would have also killed his paternal grand parents like he did his paternal mother. I don't blame him for being deranged unfortunately we don't choose the way we are.
However just because he handed himself in, and perhaps appears 'less' evil than most serial killers should we give him a medal? Had one of his victims been a sister, daughter, mother of yours would you still speak as defensively of him..
Hey, this guy fucked his mothers decapitated head but you know what i might even buy him a few pints.
***** i'm with you man, and we have to remember that he befriended the psychiatrists when he was arrested for the double murder at 15. Sources say that he convinced them to release him early and that he was rehabilitated and posed no further threat. The kid with an iq shy of 140 at 15yo and not even trained psychiatrists could see through his facade. The end result being as we now know, he just went on to kill again.
Psychos and sociopaths never take responsibility for their actions. So regardless of his mother's character it's natural for him to pin the blame on others. They are also narcissists and like to make it all about them. And they are master manipulators that take pleasure from fooling the idiots they see in front of them. People are just objects to be played with for their own satisfaction and beneath them. Everything that comes out of their mouths is glib bullshit so they can't be trusted on what they say, only on how they act.
he also killed his 2 cats at an ever younger age buried one alive and decapitated the other...he was deranged
The most intimidating thing about him is how calm and cool he looks.. What a poker face he got..
