http://www.crimelibrary.com I found this last night while babysitting. I ended up reading quite a while. The Charles Sobraj case is interesting. Heck, they're ALL strange enough to keep your attention for a bit.
Sweet website. I also like to check out the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Death Row website, where it has profiles of all the 446 offenders on Texas Death Row, including what they did, how old they are, their prior record, a picture, etc. They also have upcoming execution dates, as well as final meal requests and media witness lists. http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/deathrow.htm John Elliott was executed last night for the gang rape and beating death (with a motorcycle chain) of a 19-year-old mother of a one-year-old in 1986 in Austin.
Could you imagine having pasox come babysit at your home, and once he leaves you go to check your email or CC.net and you pullup a browser and the page that comes up has these pictures on it: And most of all: Leslie Nelson A very confused transsexual who became fixated on her hand guns and AK-47 assault rifle not as weapons but as real children -- an obsession that led to the murder of a cop who Nelson feared would take away her "babies."
Now THIS is a final meal request...Stanley Baker, Jr. Two 16 oz. ribeyes, one lb. turkey breast (sliced thin), twelve strips of bacon, two large hamburgers with mayo, onion, and lettuce, two large baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, cheese, and chives, four slices of cheese or one-half pound of grated cheddar cheese, chef salad with blue cheese dressing, two ears of corn on the cob, one pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and four vanilla Cokes or Mr. Pibb
I have that link on my site as one of my favorites. Go look at some of the last meal requests, they are pretty damn crazy! pull up the profiles and crime reports from their offense.
A couple of weeks ago, The Ticket here in Dallas had an eating contest based on this meal request. They gave two guys an hour and 15 minutes or so to eat it all. Neither one could do it.
Two observations about this website, 1st do you realize that Bill Gates is on Death Row in Texas. 2nd what is the purpose of putting the victim's race unless its a hate crime?
Pretty weird stuff... the psychology behind it is hard to imagine. My husband always watches the true crime and real-life detective stories on TV. Last night there was one on Angel Resendez. That one gets my attention because he killed a girl I knew in college. Couldn't have happened to a nicer, more innocent victim - just happened to live close to a railroad track and get picked at random. After his usual operation - surprise them while they're asleep, beat them in the head with a blunt object found in their own house, rape, murder, etc., he would hang around their house and go through their personal stuff. Take out their driver's license and study it. Leave the cash and valuables, but pick a few souvenirs from their life. He usually ate some of their food. Finally drove off in their car, though of course he would have to abandon it soon after. This is a way to assert total domination over a person and their life. (in other words, this is one sick SOB. I can't imagine how anybody can operate that way.) These people are proof that there really is such a thing as evil in this world. Unfortunately the TV special didn't tell us when the execution date was.
I bought the Time-Life series. Whenever wifey pisses me off I start to leave the books lying around... John Wayne Gacy is the scariest to me.
Albert Fish has got to be the scariest human I have ever read about. I never knew that the character Hannibal Lector was based on an actual person. CREEEPY.
A site for regularly checking up on Deathrow Inmates. A radio station putting on an eating contest based on a last meal. Man, I know there is lots of supporting of the Death Penalty in here in Texas, but I'm getting the feeling that people celebrate it as well. That's not good IMHO.
I've been reading that site for about a year now. Check out the Carl Panzram story. Show's what years of brutal child abuse and molestation can do to a person.
At least I was babysitting my own girls. . Wife was out playing bunco. So, after the Rocket half, (ugh) after bedtime stories, ... a little surfing. Creepy dudes. I guess everyone's NOT "basically good inside". Like that 6'9" serial killer/rapist, "genius" sociopath, Edmund something. What a sicko. And obviously, some are completely incapable of "rehabilitation". Poor saps that try to "help" always get iced. Time in just gets the bad mind worse. Definately teaching the girls NOT to talk to strangers and um... stay away from Dad's computer! There are bad, bad guys out there girls and...um...you don't need to know anymore. Go cheer for TMo some more, or play Hello Kitty dolls. Both girls love saying "TMo". They just like the sound of it. Neither knows which one he is Both can find Yao and Cuttino, though. We're already associating the words "Cat" and "Brick" and "And 1" and "$%#@-y @#$!" Just kidding. Actually, they both LIKE the Cat. They like the school commercial with Steve. However,neither the 6 or the 1 yd old understand Cat not seeing Yao!
Man, those murderers love their fried chicken, Dr. Pepper, and leu Cheese Dressing! BTW-what's up with T-Bones? Is there a sh!ttier piece of meat off of a dead cow? Mix in a Ribeye for gosh sakes. Lastly, what's up with dude wanting a diet Coke? That is the most ridicuous thing I have ever heard of. Get The Real Thing...you are dying in 45 minutes!!!
