All men are divided into ‘ordinary’ and ‘extraordinary.’ Ordinary men live in submission and don't have the right to transgress the law, because, don’t you see, they are ordinary. But extraordinary men have a right to commit any crime and to transgress the law in any way, just because they are extraordinary

There are certain persons who can... that is, not precisely are able to, but have a perfect right to commit breaches of morality and crimes, and that the law is not for them.

but never try to answer for what is between a husband and his wife, or a lover and his mistress. There is always one little corner which remains hidden from all the world, and is known only to the two of them. Crime and Punishment Fyodor Dostoevsky

Ian Brady entered the world only weeks before his father died. His mother waa forced to work and leave her new born son at home. Any child would suffer in this situation. Unfortunately his mother couldn't afford a baby sitter so ian was not only abandoned but had no care or human connection. She worked long hours as a waitress and after several months she had no choice but to give her son away. She remained disconnected to Ian and hid his true identify, naively thinking it would protect him. As a child he struggled with relationships. He displayed antisocial behaviour from a young age. When playing games with other kids he would choose to play the villain. As an older child he developed an interest in Horror films. He was nicknamed Dracula by neighbours for his solemn appearance and eccentric nature. He didn't trust adults and had no respect for their authority. As a child he felt weak and powerless. He saw himself as being superior to the rest of society, referring to them as maggots. By closing the door to everyone he gained control. He chose to abandon this world and the laws that govern it. Now he was free to be his own god and create a kingdom without restrictions or conscience.

The discovery of Brady's photography, literature and music provided an insight into his mind. He identified with oppositional characters unrestricted by moral conscience or consequence.

There seemed to be a code between Myra and Ian. Several photos showed Myra posing on the moors with her dog. This led police to the burial sites of 3 victims. Were they taken as trophy pics to gloat of their conquests or markers for murder locations ?

Before each murder, Brady would buy Myra a new pop record. This was his way of telling her, he had the urge to kill again.

Santa Sangre | 1989

Ed’s home, up in flames. March 20, 1958.

Eddie learned about it from Darold Strege, the psychiatric officer in charge of his unit at Central State, who had heard the news early that morning on the radio as he was getting ready to leave for work. Strege’s shift began at six A.M., and Gein was still asleep when Strege arrived at the hospital. Unsure about how the little man would react, Strege waited until Gein had risen, dressed, and finished his breakfast before informing him of the news.

Strege took Gein aside. “Your house has burned down, Eddie,” he said as gently as possible.

Eddie paused for a moment and then answered quietly. “Just as well,” he said.

And here’s what infuriates me: I feel deeply for Gypsy Rose Blanchard. She endured horrific abuse and killed her mother as a result. She served her time, she was released, and now she’s been able to marry—twice—and start building a family of her own. Society found it in its heart to grant her a second chance. And rightly so.

So tell me—why don’t Erik and Lyle deserve the same grace? They, too, were victims of sustained, devastating abuse. They, too, acted out of trauma and desperation. Why is their suffering discounted? Why is their humanity dismissed?

I’ll tell you why. Because they’re men. And because they came from wealth. The system doesn’t just punish crime—it punishes identity, gender, class. Had they been poor? Or women? Or poor women? Society might well have wept for them, embraced them as tragic figures, and advocated for their release years ago.

People love to assume wealth shields you from abuse—that money equals escape. That if you’re rich, you can simply pack up, walk away, and build anew. That’s a fantasy. No amount of money erases an abuser’s control, their power, their grip on your psyche. Wealth doesn’t protect you from trauma—it can in fact make it worse, because society refuses to believe your pain is real.
