So on the bus, street corner, restaurant, or other public place, they begin complaining loudly about [any particular group of THEM] to you so that everybody thinks you’re with him.

As I’ve mentioned before, Evil Ex-Roommate had a shaved head and a penchant for army surplus, and he was apparently approached by aryan nation types on more than one occasion. The funny thing was that he was a bisexual, mentally ill, socialist Jew of Roma descent with a criminal record. If he actually had been in Nazi Germany, he would have had all the triangles except Jehovah’s Witness.

Regarding what is “wrong” with Pepper: my guess (and Snopes’ guess, too) is Crouzon Syndrome or something like that, causing some serious craniofacial deformities…

_shudder_ Some of the pictures linked in this thread give me the willies.

But… But… he seemed such a _nice_ young man.

Seriously; this one isn’t drummed into people (esp. kids) nearly enough; dangerous strangers != people who look strange or nasty.

Whoa… now if i ran into that guy in an alley, it would definitely be a “shoot first, ask questions later” moment for me! :eek:

Actually, I thought that picture of Bundy made him look creepy-just the expression on his face.

And I know that not all creepy people LOOK creepy, and vice versa-just sometimes it’s really kind of “AAAAH” when you read about a child molestor or a serial killer and then see their picture where they look like an extra from a George Romero pic.

Why do most of these pictures give me the odd urge to grab a pitchfork, and go set fire to a old castle or a windmill or something?

Maybe it’s the new allergy medication.
