... is that they're too close to the actual pointlessly brutal bastards that really do exist.
(Found on the wiki about another unnamed website forum.)
- A triple homicide in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. A 12-year-old girl and her 23-year-old boyfriend, whom she communicated with on [the website], were charged in the murders.
- Two Toronto men were charged with carrying out the bidding of a woman they met on the site by stabbing a 12-year-old boy 73 times, killing him. and drinking their blood.
- The site has been linked to an arson in Minnesota and to rapes of underage women in New York and Texas.
- In Australia, a 50-year-old man and his 19-year-old son are accused of using [the website] to create fictitious characters to meet Carly Ryan, 15. The father travelled to Adelaide in January 2007 for the girl's 15th birthday. Carly was drowned and was found floating in the water at Port Elliot on South Australia's south coast a month later. The two men, who cannot be identified, have denied murdering the teenager. On January 21, 2010, a 50-year-old man from Victoria was found guilty of the murder of Carly Ryan. His son was found not guilty and has since returned to Victoria.
- In December 2007, in California, a 23-year-old man met a 13-year-old girl posing as an adult on [the website]. They met and allegedly engaged in sexual activity. Police were tipped off, and he was arrested. In California, even if minors lie about their age, they still cannot give consent. When questioned on the stand, the minor couldn't remember any details of their dates or the sexual activity they engaged in. The case was too weak against him, and the man was found not guilty on two of the charges.
In no way do I believe or wish to insinuate the other website had any culpability for promoting these attacks anymore than WalMart is responsible for crimes committed in their parking lot.
I just don't like dangerous crazy people that insist on planning and pursuing what they know is wrong - that's why they try to hide their actions, albeit poorly.
Hey RayW nice info that you shared with us
I also do not get into the psycho killer horror movies/Entertainment. There are way too many copycats just waiting for something to express their sickness on others. This is why I mostly keep to the zombies/vampires flicks. Now this is entertainment for me. “LOL” the psycho/killers are just headlines of reality.
I disagree...
I will admit, I am fascinated with serial killer/ psychopaths and there crimes. I like learning about thier lives and what makes them become monsters. There are lots of people that watch thsese movies and go to killer fan sites, but that doesn't mean that they are going to kill people themselves.
For me anyway it really opens my mind to the horrendous things that people try to forget. I feel like I am more aware of the world around me , and I appericiate the great life I have had so far.
I don't think just because there is a movie about a killer that it's going to some how change the mind of some one who watches it, and make them want to be a killer. That's crazy! If there is a seriously disturbed psychotic person out there, and they are going to be a murderer, regardless of what they watch or read.
So sorry for the rant, but as a person who has always had an inerest in these people, and movies. It kinda makes me sad when others don't understand.
Good morning!
Good morning!

Same here.
To say I "enjoy" learning about real life nutbags is perhaps the wrong verb, but I do like to keep conversationally abreast of how crazy people perceive the world around them and interpret stimuli.

I agree.
Never stated otherwise.
What I did state was:
"Why I Dislike Psycho Killer Horror Movies AS ENTERTAINMENT is that they're too close to the actual pointlessly brutal bastards that really do exist."
I'll watch a documentary on real psychos and socios, but watching fabricated nutty-nutbags is kinda goofy to me.
FEARnet actually has a small collection of Ulli Lommel films which appear to be part of his series of low-budget actual serial killer dramatized biopics.

I'd much rather watch these than "Dude in a Halloween mask cutting up sorority girls!" or "Brute with a welding hood torching the feet of crooked politicians!"
Meh.
You and I are agreeing 2 - 0.
The eye of the beholder. . . .
Everything is relative. Many religious institutions would prefer there was NO such thing as horror movies. What to do? Crime movies are investments in life and death real life drama. Courtroom movies often portray the seedy side of life, the good losing or being found guilty and it could be argued that the court drama is preying on the misfortune of victims and their family. Entertainment, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. Thats why porn NOW is more legal than back in the day. Much horror NOW would have been outlawed then. Hell, they are cursing on public t.v. shows, dramas AND comedies. Where is the line drawn as it advances ? I think what a person will do, emulate a violent video game, a movie, is determined by how well he was brought up and how educated he has been. One person here quoted a stupid celebrity (Marilyn Manson) who said that a partcular killing incident was brought about by seeing depictions of Christ on the cross. Well. . . . . I've NEVER looked at that image and thought, "hmmm. . . . Im going to wear cool long leather trench coats, dark glasses, gloves, motorcycle boots and get guns and kill people." I dont believe JC was wearing leather when he was put up there but I HAVE seen that on videos and of course THE MATRIX. BUT, here we have people giving credence to a clueless celebritys quote and concept as if he is anything but an entertainer. I loved SILENCE OF THE LAMBS but hated the purile A SERBIAN FILM. I also had an idiot preacher tell me that his congregation was taught that the late great actor VINCENT PRICE was a warlock ! ! Fookin' crazy people arent always the dangerous ones. The eye of the beholder.
