So once again.... here I am going totally off line with Les at Time out For Mom
She hosts a weekly Coffee Chat

So... the first one that comes to mind has got to be Charles Manson.... I mean seriously, what is up with this guy? He is just down right creepy but still has followers... and EVERY time he is mentioned it ends up as front page news.... can't we just let him be gone by now?
Then of course.... the first 'good boy' turned bad serial killer ... Ted Bundy. Who knew the boy next door could do such vile things? and get away with for so long??? How many movies have been written about him?
Can't do this without mentioning the creep Jeffrey Dahmer.... didn't get enough protein in regular food... had to invent a new food group?
But... for those of you now from Southern California.... you probably still know who he is... Scott Petersen.... Wouldn't divorce have been a better option? At least he'd be free and Lacey and Connor would still be around... but ... NO... he figured he could just get away with it!!
So are these my favorites? Not sure how criminals are favorited... but there legacies do seem to have carried forward... and for a list of other creeps:
Lizzy Borden
The Boston Strangler
The Menendez Brothers
Jack the Ripper
Aileen Wournos
BTK
and this list could go on forever.... but for now I will go hug my kids and be grateful I never met any of these people up close and personal!
YIKES Brenda the picture of Manson makes my blood chill every time I see his scary face! I need to go over and link up to the chat :)
ReplyDeletehe DOES look really creepy .... doesn't he???
Deletebut I have to say that smug look on Peterson's face is pretty scary too!
agreed....Peterson scares me way more. Manson looks crazy, Peterson looks so so normal. cold, cold, cold.
DeleteBeing Canadian we hear less about some of the criminals in States however these sound really bad. Good take on today's topic.
ReplyDeletethanks.... and I am sure Canada has their share of really bad criminals too!
DeleteOh yes, we surely do. And I have seen them up close and personal!
DeleteI was really hoping someone would do a segment on the real life bogie-men. So you were not really off topic at all.
ReplyDeleteCanada certainly has some baddies - some of whom I have met face-to-face (Bernado and Homolka - a married couple who raped, tortured and murdered 2 school girls). I can talk about what I witnessed behind the walls -- but I can tell you this with absolute certainty: the eyes Do Not lie. You will know when you are in the presence of pure evil.
no question... the eyes are the window to the soul... and some of those eyes are just dark!
DeleteThe Scott Peterson case always bothered me so much because of the name they chose for the baby. Too close to home for me. But they are all pretty creepy. What a different take on this one Brenda!!!:)
ReplyDeleteScott Peterson creeped me out for so many reasons.. and whatever happened to his 'girl friend'? how could she not know?
DeleteI just watched a small production called Assassins that talked about all the freaks that killed or attempted to kill past presidents and one of the ladies was CRAZY about Manson.
ReplyDeleteI love that you didn't go with movies or plays.. but actual people. Makes one think. Great post!
Thanks.. and what is with the people who are CRAZY about psychopaths???
