Wiki tells me that British psychopath Ian Brady died yesterday. To all our friends across the pond who have ever been affected by that asshole, I hope that gives them some peace. I know it’s literally yesterday’s news by now but I only just heard about it and it got me to wondering what the public response is like. With the tragic events being so far in the past, did his death get much publicity? Were he and Myra Hindley the UK equivalent of the Manson family? Was he even still on the public’s radar? ---
