Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, brutally murdered 13 women over a four year period, horribly mutilating their bodies, and was later diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. He’s serving life in prison. Well, in Broadmoor high security psychiatric hospital, actually. He’s been there for 30 years, with possible release on the cards in the next few years.
Now then. In that time he has had an average of 30 letters a week from women admirers. These nutters just started writing to him and became pen pals. One woman moved nearer to Broadmoor in order to be closer to him, and another used to regularly visit him. Now, it’s just got worse; there’s one who’s getting married to him.
What the fuck? These women are allowed to vote, to reproduce, to look after children, to walk the same streets as me or my children, and their big thing in life is to be infatuated with a mass murderer they’ve never met? What is wrong with these women?
Jeez, the man killed and mutilated women for fun. And that attracts them to become his penpals/future wives?
Yeah, writing to somebody who has done nothing wrong, or is a hero but stuck unable to live a normal life, befriending a scared serviceman overseas, or simply finding somebody to communicate with from a totally different culture, or even talking to somebody who is terminally ill, all makes sense. But, why would you want to write to a mass murderer? Yet, murderers attract women. The more horrific or notorious that murderer is, the more that women are attracted to him. Why?
This latest nutter, a 56 year old lady called Pam, after writing to him constantly for the last 15 years, has just taken to wearing and showing off an engagement ring and proudly talking about her “fiancee”, the mass murderer. But, this women has children and grandchildren! What is she doing outside of some mental institute? She’s dangerously insane! Don’t their families think they are nutters?
I’d be scared for the safety of my children were it my mother started ‘virtual dating’ a mass murderer.
You couldn’t make it up, could you? This is not normal behaviour. These mass murderer lovers should be locked up. They are a danger to themselves and to others, with a complete disregard for the 13 victims.
