I was living in LA at the time (attending college), just having moved from the Bay Area.
We were living in a rented home in Pasadena (close to where the attacks took place).
I was living with two roomates and in the hot summer evenings, we had to keep our windows locked (and air conditioner running) because of this creep.
Everyone was on "edge", I mean everyone, until he got caught.
Vlad the Impaler... Romania prince back in the mid 1400's. He would impale his victims from the anus all the way up through their mouths and let them sit there for days and die a very slow and painful death. Then he would feast amongst their dead bodies. Vlad was the inspiration for Dracula, because it is rumored he drank his victims blood when he would feast amongst their dying bodies. One time, he impaled over 40,000 people to deter an army from invading his territory, and they retreated when they saw the forest of dead and decaying corpses.
Richard Ramirez. Thankfully he's dead. Guy not only had no remorse but treated the trial like a rock concert. Raping, beating women and forcing the husband's to watch. Bye, bye to human trash hope you are warm in hell.
I think Ted Bundy is the worst because he looked so innocuous and harmless. People like to think that they can spot a horrible person based on their appearance, but that is not always the case.
Son of Sam...lived 5 blocks from one of the shooting scenes and was 13 at the time...it gripped all of the city in fear...
That's a bit of an over statement saying that "it gripped all of the city in fear". He was only doing all of that nonsense in white neighborhoods of NYC. Blacks and Hispanics weren't really thinking about this guy other than it being an interesting news story
H.H. Holmes.
He murdered a lot of people during the late 19th century in a castle-like building he had built for him that was all business spaces on the first floor and a boarding house on the 2 floors above.
He killed his victims with gas, then cremated them in a furnace he had built for the purpose down in the basement.
Most of the murders occurred during Chicago's Columbian Exposition in 1893. Millions of people flocked to Chicago to go to it, and thousands moved into Chicago believing the Expo would give them work.
Holmes was so mild mannered and inconsequential looking none of his victims ever thought he was a threat. But when he decided to kill someone, they very seldom survived. Most of his failures were do to interruption and gas failures than anything else.
He confessed to 27 murders, was executed for 4, and may have committed as many as 200.
I second this. His crimes were horrendous. I can't believe this guy actually tricked one of his employees to go into his makeship crematorium and watched as he burned alive.
Years ago I saw a program about hate. In this program they asked dozens of people, both ordinary and famous, 'what is evil?'. The best descriptive response I ever heard to explain hate was by former concentration camp victim and famous author, Elie Wiesel. His response when asked was, 'lack of empathy'. That about sums up anyone who kills or hurts another human being.
