      @Touched by a Priest not at all. I'm saying that the typical crime scene does not look like this, so condemning those that have a psychological break by saying "it's their job" is not helpful. In Waterloo Iowa there was a shooting a few days ago, 1 dead 11 wounded. Waterloo is pretty well known for gun violence, but that is above and beyond the norm.

The second is the fact that the offender is often the focus of the public's fascination. The victims are either forgotten or merely footnotes in their perverted story.

People in town would always talk about how he was a pretty nice guy and a really good babysitter and all these other things and how he would help people out and even share his venison. But my great grandpa always got a weird feeling from him and would tell his kids to stay away and don't accept anything from Ed Gein. My grandma also remembers one day walking home from school with her sister, and Ed Gein pulled up next to them and offered them a ride home but they remember that their dad said to stay away from him so they declined the offer and ran home. A few months later the cops did the raid on his house and found out how much of a lunatic he was. People in town apparently seem to shocked by the news, my great grandpa was kind of like "I told you so!"

    As a reminder, Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1853 and was the earliest state to ever abolish it. It's why Dahmer didn't end up on a gurney for his gruesome crimes. Between Dahmer, Gein and Anderson, Wisconsin has a lot of infamous killers.

    He's a completely different kind of evolving evil compared to his mother. I really don't think he admired her.. I think he loathed her deep down & in a twisted way of trying to show her how much it crazed him he left a shrine of her to fantasize about displaying the grief, abuse & berating she caused. It's just my opinion anyway .. 😊

      I don’t see why he couldn’t have both loved and resented her - the latter almost certainly on subconscious level. Those conflicting, and undoubtedly repressed feelings were very likely a contributing factor in his decent into madness.

    Hello from naughty LaCrosse Wisconsin! There's more to this story in books and such if folks are interested. However, to really infuse upon you the "celebrity " for lack of a better term, Gein could still get the headlines at death. I worked for a radio station back then with the old news teletype machines. Big stories would ring bells based on importance. Barneveld tornado- 4 bells, Reagan being shot - 6. Ricky Nelson plane crash- 5 bells. When Ed Gein died the newsroom went nuts. I was on the air doing the weather, and the bells wouldn't stop. He must have gotten 20 to 30 bells. I could hear from the studio, quickly put on a cart and ran into the newsroom. It read " NEWSFLASH: The entire state of Wisconsin can breathe a collective sigh of relief as serial killer and cannibal Ed Gein has finally died." I tore the story off the teletype and read it on the air. Eddie had more bells than Ronald Reagan, Ricky Nelson, and an F5 tornado that wiped out a small town. Only in Wisconsin. Ta.

      @raquellofstedt9713 2 роки тому +3

      People also want to identify with who they think is the stronger party. A lot of people see the vicitim as weak; they messed up and therefore some how deserved to die. This is completely forgetting the fact that the victims are usually well adjusted people who were never given a chance to fight back because the perpetrator never would have risked it. Bundy didn´t fare too well the few times one of his "prey" fought back.

    • @josephedmond3723

      I think you're both wrong. It's because the perpetrator is inherently more interesting. There are no specific characteristics of someone who is brutalized and murdered those victims are just normal people. Only an abnormal person would do those type of things.
