Current Events > So, Ed Kemper is up for parole this year.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wouldn't that be some shit?

his mum was the reason that it happened, and shes long dead.

Who

Ed Kemper himself has stated that he shouldn't be released from prison.

He is the really tall serial killer right? That is insane. like a real life horror movie villian

I recently watched a movie that had like a 7 foot guy cosplaying as a werewolf. He seemed superhuman enough that I thought he was like an actual werewolf but he was just a really strong human

I just looked him up he was denied parole like 10 times

Tbh his days of decapitating college students and fucking their heads are probably long behind him by now

Facts. Super fascinating guy, but he should never be let loose.

Super fascinating guy

Which part fascinates you the most? Murdering a bunch of young women and fucking their corpses? Or maybe murdering his own mother and grandparents just to see how it would feel? Do tell.

The fact that he told so very much to the FBI which helped them understand the minds of serial killers. I never said he was a good person. Monsters can be fascinating.

I read that after the first murders, when he was put in a mental hospital, he routinely volunteered to help with other patients specifically so he could learn how to trick the psychologists into thinking he was rehabilitated. It worked so well that they actually expunged his record

Ed Kemper also requested the Death Penalty but was denied.

Not only that, he requested that the officers just beat him to death after his confession

John Douglas liked Kemper on a personal level. Said he was friendly and sensitive.

Yeah, it obviously discredits nothing he did, but the information he gave the FBI, the work he did with them, the time he spent, he likely saved a few lives and gave them a leg up in many investigations. He's one of the rare ones that didn't just turn into a dark void in prison, he recognizes what he did and it was his own, and seemingly didn't "root" for other killers, it was the opposite.

and then they sent him back to live with his shithead sexist abusive mother who was the entire catalyst for his murders.

Doesn't excuse what he did at all.

It seems like you're defending him or at the very least placing blame on someone else instead of him who's responsible for what he did.

defending him huh? Pointing out (as have many psychologists) this his mothers abuse and his anger towards her along with his severe mental issues are what caused his rampages? I mean i literally don't even understand what point you're trying to make, and assuredly its out of ignorance of the subject.

Yeah, all the interactions with him were just unsettling.

Oh god, Karate is trying to talk with adults

He did the crimes and is responsible for them, but these killers are made, not born. It's no coincidence that so many of these killers were raised by abuse.

Oh, so its just a thing with him huh? I shouldn't be surprised..

To be fair hes far from the only member of the public with no idea what theyre talking about regarding mental health, criminology, or the legal system.

Hell, half the public would vote to abolish parole, suspended sentences, and to have a persons conviction branded on their forehead. Then paradoxically wonder why people who now have no chance at rehabilitation continue to offend.

And no, I dont know anything about this guy nor care, because that doesnt change anything I just said.

...do you not find any of that interesting?

although him turning himself in and being aware of who he was is probably most fascinating

I've heard it described that he lives "behind" his eyes, like he's watching a movie. Permanent disassociation from morals or guilt, like the effects of sleepwalking fully conscious and aware. Absolutely chilling.

That sounds like what the main character in A Silent Voice has

I certainly don't. The obsession with true crime shit is something I really wish society would drop.
