Ed Kemper
Gotard and I watched a documentary on Kemper last night, he's by far one of the most interesting serial killers ever. Listening to him I was struck by his obvious intelligence and Jesus, anyone who stand 6'9 is something to ogle at.
I think it's a damn shame that the psychosurgery was denied, the moralists really need to go stick their ethics up someone else's arse. Here was a willing subject who could have been studied for an extended period of time and who knows what could have been learned. Science lost out with Dahmer and Gacy, they can't get past the moralists and instead we're stuck with mysteries that can't be solved.
I don't think he should ever taste freedom again, I'm not here to preach rehabilitation or be a serial killer groupie. Like so many others, I have a fascination for profiling and the inner workings of the mind and for at least twenty years I've studied serial killers and those who hunt them and have read a library's worth of data.
And ole Ed Kemper is definitely an interesting one.
Can't wait to get to Karla.

I watched the Biography special on Ed Gein recently, and it was quite mesmerizing. His eyes were the most horrifying of all, definitely had that Normal Bates quality that he later spawned. Perhaps I was just ignorant, but i never knew that Bates, Buffalo Bill and Texas Chainsaw Massacre were all drawn from Gein activities. It’s chillingly disturbing to see the house, the body pictures, the objects… SHUDDER

Ed Kemper was unique in the fact that he went the source.Many serial killers are scarred from birth by parents,or a lack thereof.Ed Kemper killed his mother that was his undoing,and he knew it but it had to be done.Most killers will kill anybody except the problem it self.Kudos Ed you are all right by me
