Two cops found one of Dalmher’s victims drugged, disorientated and bleeding from his head an anus. He claimed he had been drugged and raped, but just then Dalmher showed up and convinced them that they were a couple and just had a fight. They took him to Dalhmer’s apartment where he had 2 bodies dissolving in barrels in his room and several body parts in his fridge. The cops just dropped the kid off and left where he was subsequently killed.

Both cops were suspended , but got reinstated with full back pay. One of them was even elected president of the police union.

Cops don’t give a duck about anything other than maintaining their own power and enriching themselves at the public’s expense.

think about all the drug users the pigs would have missed out on prison if they had spent time investigating the murders tho

people wonder why i'm in favor of police/prison abolition without realizing that the pigs barely do anything to make society safer and we would be in a much more ideal situation if we focused nearly all our efforts on eliminating the actual root causes for crimes happening in the first place: lack of housing/healthcare/employment, systemic racism, etc. capitalism basically

but no! cop good because cop make number go up, if no more cop, then number go down

This reminded me of that kerfuffle a few years back where a black man suspected of a crime had his picture on the news. He was shirtless and maybe something else, but it was argued that the picture had been chosen to prejudice the public against him, and surely there were more neutral photos to use. His Facebook profile pic was him in a hoodie, mean-mugging, pointing a gun at the camera.

I don’t remember the man’s name, so I’m having difficulty finding the two pictures. Does anyone else remember this?

Minority, drug addicted sex workers is the police not giving a poo poo hat trick. It's absolutely loving appalling how little police care and how so many of these people would have been caught so much sooner if only they could bring themselves to, you know, protect and serve the people in their community.

It also doesn't help that anybody involved in sex work and/or drugs is probably engaged in illegal activities themselves. Nothing on the level of murder obviously but it's an entire community that wants to actively stay the hell away from the police. It gets a lot harder to investigate a crime when you're dealing with people who just plain won't talk.

I was sort of seeing a Chicago cop for a little bit and she would bitch about this nonstop. The "no snitching" thing makes it near impossible for police to investigate anything even when the entire community knows who killed who. She also didn't give a gently caress about gang members killing each other. She used to joke that the police should let them practice at their shooting ranges to improve their marksmanship so they could stop shooting kids.

She was a pretty crazy lady, but being a cop for decades will do that to you.

Oh God

i'm not sure how a helium balloon that large would work but a hot air balloon shouldn't be able to get so high as to rupture due to pressure differential. you have to keep injecting hot air into the balloon as it is constantly losing lift as the hot air cools. i guess there's nothing to stop a cold air balloon from just sailing away into the sky

a hot air balloon could rupture just because but since they don't get that high you could probably account for that when building the liner. it would also have to rupture pretty hard for the loss of hot air to counterbalance the addition of new hot air from the heater. after some brief research it looks like the most common cause of balloon accidents is hitting power lines or other obstacles, and fires from the air heating system

Weather balloons, which have to go really far up, are only partially filled with helium so that they can expand as air pressure outside the balloon decreases. Hope this lady passed out from oxygen deprivation before she could either freeze or plummet to death.

I'd also toss Richard Ramirez, the Not-So-Original Night Stalker, into that mix. He's the prototype of the unrepentant evil monster serial killer.

The Ramirez killings at least end with him getting identified by the public and beaten up by an angry mob until the cops hailed him away.

Contrast to Ted Bundy where the judge was openly jacking off about how cool and smart and charming he was and gosh darn if only he'd become a lawyer instead...

You could argue Albert Fish, aka The Gray Man, but he tried to hide his crimes, so he likely wouldn't be found criminally insane these days, either.

The Last Podcast on the Left episodes on Richard Chase are some of my favorite things they've done.

I feel physically ill from this thread, that tweet about dan schneider deleting tweets had a picture in its replies of quentin tarantino sucking on toes and then measuring his face and the foot with the implication it could not be an adult woman's foot
Which led me to finding out tarantino apparently said Polanski's 13 year old victim wasn't raped and "wanted it".
Jesus christ. Im completely done with this man's movies. I wish to god someone out there found these white men, polanski, tarantino, schneider, et al and gave them what they actually deserved. This world just gives them a charmed protected life.
