The fact that the night stalker was stalked and caught in broad day light..there's something poetic about it.
The way Richard Ramirez was caught is my favorite!! The neighborhood coming together and ganging up on him is everything that community should be!!
It really goes both ways, just as women write love letters to bad men, some men sentence bad women to extremely lenient sentences. Some men admire bad women, and some women admire bad men. Bryn Spejcher was sentenced by a male judge for murder and got no prison time, while Jodi was sentenced by a female judge for murder and got the book thrown at her. There isn't much talk about men who admire female criminals, and that kind of shocks me a lot.
I'll never understand these sick women who write love letters to serial killers. How can a woman romanticize someone who has done such horrible things to other women??
Hearing people say "this kind of thing doesn't happen here " is such a dangerous comfort to rely on. Murder is possible no matter where you live.

I can imagine the hug those parent gave that daughter when they found out that the same guy who broke in was the night stalker... realizing their daughter really saved her life. That's a horrible fate.
Living in Wisconsin, I remember how hard the shit hit the fan when dahmer was arrested, it was on tv all day long, the details getting more and more grotesque by the day. The most awful detail being the man that the POLICE HANDED BACK TO HIM, who he then killed, and went on to kill more. I feel so awful for the victims and their loved ones.
I'm a California native and I was 18 when Richard Ramirez started his reign of terror. It was so incredibly hot and people were leaving their windows open for relief. He didn't have to work hard to gain entry. Even though I didn't live where the killings took place, I was terrified. Ramirez was my Boogeyman. Even after he was sentenced, I was afraid he would escape. It was a day of celebration when he finally died. I just wish the state had dispensed justice on him instead of cancer killing him. I wanted to see him pay for all of the hurt and misery he had caused those poor victims and their families. I think of them often and I pray that the families and friends of those who were taken can find some measure of peace at last.š
That "vigilante mob" was actually a neighborhood of people who cared about each other. When they realized Ramirez was there, they overtook him and beat him so he couldn't escape. They protected their families, captured and turned over a serial killer to police and stopped Ramirez from ever killing again. They're all heroes.
The serial killer I find most frightening is Ramirez. That slimeball would break in to your house just to kill. It didn't matter what gender you were or what your age was. He didn't have a certain type of victim.
While Dahmer tried to keep his victims unconscious, Gacy made everything to keep his victim conscious to see their pain. Both evil, but Gacy was the embodiment of evil.
Me: ugh. Iām not watching that, itās 129mins long, itās nearly midnight. Also me: oooh, nearly 4 hours in serial killers. Yes! 4:05am and Iām subbed and searching for something else to watch in this channel. Very very well done!
Serving 10 months for drugging and sexually assaulting a 13 year old boy doesn't seem right....
They really should try to get actual experts for these, Dahmer didn't have sex with Steven Hicks, his first victim. They just hung out, Steven was straight, and simply wanted to leave at some point to go meet his friends for a rock concert. Dahmer didn't want him to leave, and we know what happened next
Last year I came across two 10 yo boys trying to tape a firecracker to a cat's tail. I'm a huge animal lover so this would disturb me anyway but the act of young kids trying to inflict a serious pain to an innocent animal went deeper than just "kids doing kids stuff" reaction, so I decided to act upon it. Not only did I stop them, I called the police and went with them to their parents to explain them what I saw these boys trying to do. The parents seemed genuinly disturbed and shocked but I don't know what they done about it.. This is a classical sign of problematic behavior that can result in a sociopath personality..
āAnd he knew, and he knew the gig was up.ā My favorite true crime quote of all time.
I was 17 years old living with my single mom in LA when he was on the loose⦠freaking terrifying time. I would check the locks on all the doors and windows multiple times before going to bed. He ended up hitting a home 1 town over from us š®. We ended up having a male co worker of my momās move into my brotherās old room. He was a black belt in karate and we felt a little safer. Iāll never forget that fear we went through.
The fact that five victims to this day have never been identified truly is heart breaking. He took power to the grave even by not giving those families an sort of closure.
