Ted Bundy and Hammer Killers (don't read if you're squeamish)

today i learned of a string of 21 murders in the Ukraine. including an old man who'd just survived cancer who's death video was posted online for kicks. upon hearing this i was filled with depression. what would posses a human being to do something as inhuman, as unloving, as.... horrifying, as murdering 21 innocent people with a hammer and screw driver? including a pregnant woman who's womb they cut out of her body. three young men with perfect futures ahead of them. what kind of men would do that? what has to be wrong with someone for them to take a kitten and glue it's mouth shut, nail it to a cross and shoot it? what kind of a young man would kill two 14 year old boys just because they were walking past? what kind of man would kill an innocent 28 year old who just came back from the front, simply because he was unarmed by alcohol? what kind of man would do these things?

now see, the strange thing about me is that i have a favourite serial killer. yes, Ted Bundy is my favourite serial killer. i'm not saying killing people is okay, because its not. under any circumstance besides self defense, and even then, try all other options first. but if i had to choose a favourite, which i have, i'd pick Ted Bundy. when he killed people, he was inventive, he was intelligent, he was attractive, yes, i said it, he was attractive.

i guess part of my sad mood is because this weekend i watched The Color Purple for the first time and bawled my head off, like, i've cried at movies, but never out loud, bawling, all out sobbing. and i was. it was a great movie. and the sad thing about that movie is that things like that happen to people every single day of every year in time. and it sucks that humanity can have such a dark dark side. why can't we all just be good people?
