Who do you think is the most evil serial killer and why (husband, people)

[jerseygal4u]

They all are. What kind of question is this?

Israel Keyes creeped me out. Nobody knew his victims were murdered because he buried the bodies in remote places, nobody will ever know how many he may have killed. He was on no one's radar until he made a screwup.

I remember reading once that at any given time, approximately 100 serial killers are operating in the United States.

Robert Pickton did the same with his victims in British Columbia, a Canadian province.

Actually you are not. You are more into already dead people. I think you were only linked to 2 murders. But you are still creepy

They are all evil, but I suppose the ones that did their evil closest to where one lives creeps one out the most.

Pickton in BC has been mentioned, but another one, Clifford Olson was even sicker.

Between 1980 -81 he killed 11 children and teenagers.

Not the same as Israel Keyes at all, but he was still a vile and creepy serial killer.

Here's where I have a problem with trying to measure evil.

If an evil act makes a person evil why doesn't a good act make a person good? How many evil or good acts and where is the line drawn?

What about mental illness? Is all evil the result of mental illness?

How about "good" people we know who did something horrible in their past but keep it a secret? How about if it was intentional? How about if it was unintentional but had terrible consequences for hundreds of people?

Is evil only evil if it is done to "innocent" people?

These are questions Psychology still struggles to answer.

I believe that evil exists but find quantifying it and defining it to be very subjective.

Here's a "for instance." We read about a man who has molested and murdered a child. Then we read some responses from normal people which say things like, "I wish I could get ahold of this guy" and then go on to describe the most vile things they would like to do to him. That one always raises questions in my mind about who and what is evil.

Maybe even raises the question if evil is contagious?

Albert Fish abducted, raped, molested, and ate children. He also wrote letters to the victim's parents taunting them and outlining the gruesome details of what he did to their children.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot.

Joseph DeAngelo (the Golden State Killer). I thought Bundy was the worst--or one of the most ruthless--until they caught this guy.
