Anyone watching the John Wayne Gacy thing on Netflix?

I find Gacy to be the most interesting of the “famous” serial killers because he was a well-known and respected member of his community while killing young men and burying them under his house. He had a construction business and had connections to the Democrat party that he even got special access to get a photo with the First Lady or the wife of the Vice President (can’t remember which one). He really lived a double life.

Jimmy Carter's wife.

Jim Jones had connections to the San Francisco Democratic Party, too. He left SF and set up in Guyana, either voluntarily or was chased out by what was still Hoover's Feds. I can't remember why but obviously wanted to operate at a level he couldn't get away with in America (anymore?). There was a Democratic Congressman who went down there to check it out and never came back.

I'm on the 2nd episode. I've seen other documentaries on Gacy so not really anything new here, but it is interesting to hear from people who knew the victims and Gacy's lawyers. It's a bit of a mess though the way it's structured.

BTK, Gacy, and Bundy were all very charismatic in their own individual ways. I guess you could lump Manson into that list too. Kemper wasn't as charismatic IRL, but he was super smart and comes off as a charming person in his interviews with the feds.

Am I misremembering, but Kemper was a tagalong with the Santa Cruz police department. Like an eight-foot-tall Bobo.

 

[Ha Ha Ha Holeee Shit!]

To be honest, Gacy’s childhood sounds eerily the same as Nana’s.

I watched it a few days ago. Chilling stuff. In some ways he really reminded me of Pat. He was a narcissistic, pathological liar with delusions of grandeur. And he also was a latent homosexual. They even look alike.

My take on these things is that John Gacy was marked for some great political career, but he fucked up somehow and had to face the wrath of his controllers. Could be anyone...Obama for eg could have messed up somehow back in 2003-2004, and next news cycle, you'd just hear about this Black kenyan guilty of plotting some terrorist shindig or whatever.
