I’ve been friends with Dawn Breedon for about 40 years. Her baby’s father killed the child and himself.
I’ll remember that day if I live another 400 years.
My stepdad. An all-round asshole and physically abusive, mostly to my brother. Some days my brother had to be kept home from school because he was too bruised to dress out for PE. Sometimes I would throw up during the beatings because the sounds of it were so disturbing.
Mom eventually left him for cheating on her. A few years later they remarried, but she divorced him again after discovering he had another family in a different state.
Trump actually reminds me of my stepdad quite a bit physically and in some of his mannerisms. And of course Mom is a Trumpist. It saddens me to think that might be part of the reason why…
Yeah, cops and reporters are going to win this thing. Trust me on this. I’ve met more completely unrepentant evil than I ever care to recall. Multiple murder. Multiple child rape and pornographers. Drug dealers with a long trail of blood.
Ugh.
Note to all, should you find yourself in such a position: when the deputy asks if you want to see the pictures? Say no. Even if you’re a reporter, you’ll never be able to run them. You KNOW that. Why do you need to see them? Do you NEED to have some sleepless nights? No, you don’t.
Don’t say yes to see the pix.
Back when I was in undergrad, I worked graveyard shifts at a 7-11 right off campus. One of my co-workers was “Old Dave,” (late '40s? early '50s?) as we had two other “Dave’s” working there. Seemed liked a nice enough guy. Friendly demeanor. Quick with a joke and a smile.
Until the day the cops came in and arrested him on the spot and led him off in handcuffs. Turned out he had been molesting/raping a 5-year-old girl from the same apartment complex on multiple occasions. And kept hours and hours of videotape of the encounters.
Through church, sports, clubs and various other avenues, I have worked with youth for over 20 years. In that time two men that worked with me were convicted of child molestation. What they did was absolutely evil, but were they evil people? Hard to say. Both times I was shocked by the allegations because these were just “regular guys”. Both were married, had kids of their own, good jobs and large social networks - to all outside appearances typical suburbanites. If they were evil, then each was an ultimate sociopath. That’s scary to think about.
When I commented, he said even his whole family, even his dog, was White Power. Again, this guy, though passably white looking, was also part Latin. And his dog, well, his dog was a dalmatian.

I know this is a heavy thread, but the dog part made me laugh out loud.
It was Old Gregg! Good On Ya!
You’re one Fishy Bastard, yourself.
Someone who briefly worked for my company was arrested and eventually convicted of murdering his wife. I interacted with him exactly once for maybe 10 minutes, but I can’t think of anyone else I have known personally who’s done anything nearly that bad.
Actually, someone I know a bit better than that had been accused of being a child molester. However, he’s never been formally charged with anything, so I can’t say I know him to be evil. I have no first-hand knowledge of the truth of the accusations.
I wonder how people maintain their sanity in those jobs.
By drinking. :rolleyes:
I think I did. Anything to do with a mighty [del]whoosh[/del] I mean boosh?
Well, let’s see, there’s the Grandfather from Hell, who was a son of a bitch and I’m certainly not insulting the Greatgrandmother from Hell (like mother, like son); I didn’t get to meet the Great-greatgrandmother from Hell but I understand she made her daughter and grandson proud. My mother and aunt aren’t particularly good people, but given the household they grew up in (a paranoid mother married to a sycopath father, both abusive in different ways), they’re actually an… not improvement, uhm… un-worsening over the prior generation. They’re more careless-evil and selfish-evil than nuclear-missile-evil.
Diverse bosses of both the “grey evil” and “bloody evil” varieties.
Does the so-called legal department of one of my employers count, given that I never met them in person? They were systematically forcing every inmigrant employee to work illegally (all of them having been hired while fully papered), then blackmailing them if any dared try to leave the company. This, while the same company was firing people left and right (shotgun firings). Conversely, kudos to the HR manager whose reaction upon finding out was absolutely epic; I wasn’t there to see it when she rammed her way into the meeting of the board of directors but people telling me about it couldn’t stop grinning.
I’ve known two serial killers. One sexually tortured pre-pubescent children before killing them.
That’s the trouble with the notorious cases. It makes it tough to give them appropriate health care when you know such things about them.
A couple other nominees:
When I worked at a treatment center for male sex offenders ages 14-18, one of the offenders I supervised for 40 hours a week had repeatedly raped his physically and mentally handicapped sister. When he got bored with it, he rented her out to his friends. The only things he was sorry about were getting caught and getting locked up. The others in my housing unit were only microscopically better.
A student of mine, while still in school, kidnapped one of his classmates. He beat and tortured him for a day and then shot him dead. He served ten years in prison. Upon release, he promptly committed another murder. He, supposedly, will not be released again. When I knew him, he was a piss-mean bully who could not tolerate authority. Telling him to sit down when the bell rang at the beginning of class would provoke a rage and physical threats from him. He never did more than run his mouth at me, but he had a reputation for hurting other kids outside of school.
Sick fuck.
Jazzes things up when you take their social histories, though.*

My life in the U.S.A. was relatively tame; the only criminals I recall being good friends with were fun-loving hippy-ish marijuana smugglers. I worked for some managers I found despicable, but neither they nor the pot smugglers were “evil.”
This is different from where I live now; I’ve shared beers with at least 5 murderers or suspected murderers. While some of these murderers may not have seemed like “good people,” they usually seemed almost “normal.” Even with anonymity — septimus isn’t my real name — I’m afraid to offer details.
The brother of one of my past friends did…something to a prepubescent girl who was, at the time, his stepdaughter. I don’t know the details, but based on the general way situation played out I think that the dude takes the teeth out of my instinctive response of “myself” as the most evil person I know.
I’m still pretty evil though. I just never act on it, because I have this recognition of things like “consequences”, “society”, and “other people’s opinions effect me”.
“Affect”, you demon spawn!
I reject that as a misuse of the word “affect”, and I don’t care how many authoritative sources say I’m wrong. “Affect” means “to put on a pretense”, and anybody who says otherwise can just autofornicate.
And you dislike that, you’d never survive hearing my opinions about the interaction of punctuation and quotation marks.
