life of a twenty something, stumbling through life

Yes, the cops are corrupt as fuck.

Yes  they will lie under oath.

Yes, they frame people. 

Yes, they will heavily coerce and manipulate confessions from mentally disabled teens on camera.

One of my favorite tricks back then was to go out and lay in front of the cars in traffic. I’m walking down the sidewalk with a friend, you know, it’s a roustabout friend and we’re clowning around about something. I’ll say, hey check this out and I go lay in the street like a stiff (laughs). I go, lay down in the street like I got run over. And a car comes driving by and of course I’m expecting this guy isn’t drunk, I’m expecting this guy isn’t slightly demented and say hey, there’s a kid laying in front of me, it’s his fault thump thump you know, and just shift gears and go over me. They always stopped and they jump out of the car and get all upset when I get up and walk off or run away. And uhh, but it was a little game we played. He didn’t go lay in front of the cars, I was doing that. I laugh now because it’s embarrassing.

Debunking The Myths of Serial Killers

There are many myths that surround these morbidly fascinating people. Here are a few of the stereotypes explained to better know how these killers operate:

Myth 1: All Serial Killers Are Men  On the contrary, about 17 percent of all serial homicides in the United States are committed by women. Women, however, have a completely different motive than men. Male serial killers are usually motivated by sex, whereas most female serial killers are motivated by monetary gain or revenge.

Myth 2: All Serial Killers Are White This may seem to be true because white serial killers make up the majority of the morbid icons of popular culture, but there are plenty of African American, Hispanic, and Asian American serial killers. In fact, African Americans represent about 20 percent of serial killers.

Myth 3: All Serial Killers Are Dysfunctional Loners Many like Ted Bundy, Dennis Rader, and Gary Ridgway lead seemingly normal lives and have healthy social bonds with other people.

Myth 4: All Serial Killers Travel Widely Although there are a number of drifter killers in the United States, a lot of them stalk and kill within their comfort zones, which is often defined by an anchor point, such as a place of residence or place of employment. Crime statistics reveal that serial killers are most likely to commit their first murder very close to their residence.

Myth 5: All Serial Killers Are Mentally Ill  Psychopathy doesn’t mean psychosis. A very small number of serial killers have or ever will win the NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity) plea. Ed Gein is one of the very few who was actually found to be insane.

Myth 6: All Serial Killers Want To Be Caught  Serial Killers love the act of killing, so why would they want to be caught? Many take satisfaction in their success and even go so far as to taunt the police like the Zodiac Killer, BTK, and the Son of Sam did.

Myth 7: All Serial Killer Victims Are Female Just like not all serial killers are male, not all serial killer victims are female. In reality, men comprise about 30 percent of serial killer victims.
