GAH!
You know, it wasn’t the “venison” that got me. It was the “boxes of salted genitals.” I used to think that roll mops were disgusting.
This is not a link on necrophiles. This is information about one particular person, who’s necrophila was part of his dementia.
:smack:
Now everyone is going to think I’m a necrophile.
Because I am EVIL! Duh.
Then again, IANAP but:
Sociopaths are basically able to function in normal society, unlike psychopaths. They still do not feel empathy or distinguish between right and wrong, however they do recognize consequences so they conform out of fear of punishment. Many or most do not commit violent crimes. A coworker who lies and manipulates in order to achieve their goals at the expense of others is exhibiting sociopathic behavior.
Psychopaths are raving lunatics (ie Charlie Manson).
I wouldn’t get all down on the species. People like this are an exception, not the rule.
Personally, I think he should spend the rest of his life being locked up, disected and studied to see what makes him tick (oooo…sweet irony!).
You looked at page #1. It is a multi-page article, & covers several people.
Reading one of those pages were enough for me.
So tell me Bosda, how much of your time is spent looking for weird and shocking things to post links to and the SDMB
The scary thing is that this is by no means the extremes of human behavior.
And that people like him are allowed to vote in elections until they get caught.
Kinda puts the democratic process into a whole new perspective eh?
[hijack]A friend of mine is an artist, and was doing a series of “heroes and anti-heroes” portraits using mixed media. My husband and I were admiring one he’d done of Ed Gein. I didn’t recognize him by face, but our friend mentioned the name - I grew up in Wisconsin so I knew who that was and what he’d done. He ended up giving us the portrait, and besides the fact that it’d have been rude to refuse, it was kind of cool.
Later, my husband got three mounted deer heads, from deer that he’d shot, when his dad was doing some cleaning. I’m not big into decorating with taxidermy, but I know they mean something to him, so I said he could hang one up. He hung it adjacent to the Gein portrait. 
I find it amusing in a creepy sort of fashion.[/hijack]
I actually thought it was kinda funny, in that sick sort of way. Then again, I found this thread in a vanity search, so… 
“The impact caused numerous severe fractions and other injuries Mahlum characterized as life-threatening.”
I hate it when they don’t provide details on these sites. Are we talking 7/8ths here? 32/33ds?
Maybe we should just leave it at this: the accused sounds like the lowest common denominator.
Sh*ts & giggles.
And it beats all hell out of,say, a knitting thread.
While I can only hope justice be served onto this teen, the thing that actually caught my attention was…
Publishing the home address of a minor.
What the hell is up with that idiocy? The article indicates that he hasn’t even been charged as an adult yet, and they’re going around publishing his home address??
That just strikes me as inherently WRONG.
I was wondering about that, too. How did it make it past the editors? Don’t they check for that type of stuff?
Running down a woman so as to have sex with her dead body strikes me an inherently WRONG. Publishing the address of the psychopath youth is trivial.
YEah, I noticed that when I posted it. I agree with Muffin; who gives a fuck about his privacy? He tried to murder a woman and joked that he was going to have sex with her corpse before. He has syblings? You’re worried about their privacy or his parents’?
If this is a genetic thing, maybe the scrutiny and humiliation will keep his siblings from trying to follow their brother’s lead. Fuck his family’s privacy. They raised a monster.
Running down a woman to have sex with corpse is inherently about as flat-out evil as you can get, but from a journalist standpoint, I don’t see publishing a suspect’s home address as trivial. It’s a bad precedent. While I don’t particularly care that the suspect is protected from harm, I’d hate to see any harm come to any innocent people who might live with or around him.
This thread has inspired me to pull out my old abnormal psych textbook. The same set of behaviors (long history of violating rights of others, lying and cheating, lack of remorse or concern for actions) have been labeled as moral insanity, egopathy, sociopathy, psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder.
The DSM-IV criteria for antisocial personality disorder are focused on acts that can be observed. The psychopathy checklist the book discusses is focused on underlying personality traits. There is some overlap between the two, but some psychopaths aren’t criminals and lack the aggressiveness that’s a criterion for antisocial personality disorder.
Good to see you’re living up to your screen name. “Hey, they’re related to somebody who might have committed a terrible crime. Fuck them, the bastards!”
I just want to second this, because you said exactly what I was going to say.
Jackass, sometimes the nuts grow up that way all on their own.
Re: the address thing
Nobody’s been convicted of anything yet. All we’ve got to go on are what some media folks have fed us.
While I don’t hold a lot of doubt that the arrested suspect is guilty, we do have great gobs of cop/journaliist fuck-ups.
Wait until a conviction. Then…what? Burn his home while he’s in the pokey? Should you, I hope you join him.
