She is a fraud...lol...wine
me too... handshake
Having read a fair bit on this over the years it does seem to be a combination thing, and normally they've had some sort of head injury as child, but unfortunately not serious enough to kill them doh
I'm a cereal killer...it's a bad habit. I killed Tony, Lucky Charms, and the Silly Rabbit.

Yes, too bad he wasn't killed before he murdered...I have always wondered if his home life was better...would he have killed?...such a shame all those student nurses were murdered...in his death...his family wanted nothing to do with his body...cheers
"Here, environment is playing a role in what is believed to be fully genetic (intelligence) but it was found that severely deprived, neglectful, or abusive environments have highly negative effects on many aspects of children's intellect development. Beyond that minimum, however, the role of family experience is in serious dispute. On the other hand, by late adolescence this correlation disappears, such that adoptive siblings no longer have similar IQ scores."


which means the difference in IQ from a bad environment decreases with age.
that is why Leah gets smarter than in High School now...applause

Lou.
Wow! He did so much.

It is sad that he had such a terrible upbringing...but this does not give him a license to kill...but it does demonstrate that nurture plays a role in what makes us who we are...cheers
Lou
Yeah! I watched it. ( up to getting into those nurses apartment.)
I wonder if he knew the things he did to all those people... sad flower
angel
He first claimed he had no memory of the mass murder...but in a video while in prison admitted to killing the student nurses...he claims also not being remorseful...his whole adult life he was a criminal...and suspected in some women's disappearances...sad flower

Lou.
Do you ever watch the TV show: Criminal Minds?
angel
I watch a lot of true crime shows...but have not watched that particular program...any good?...
Lou.
Yeah! It's ready a series. That comes on all the time. Here! It comes on daily.
And on the ID channel, it show things kind of like that too. One of the show its called; Snapped. Oh! And the OWN Channel, show things like this you have her. Also! The REEL Channel. Mostly everyday on these channels.

We may never understand the hate filled ideology of the members of ISIL for example...but I do believe that they hijacked the religion to further their own purposes...what is sad is the recruitment of the youth who believe in their propaganda...probably regretting the decision to join in on that extreme point of view...many have been duped and exploited...
Very interesting lou,
It's a sick and evil human nature in my opinion.Having a bad childhood is no excuse at all.
I believe it comes down to facts,and that was he had the criminal intent to murder,it's that simple.

As you know I am not a follower of religions...but I will look into your suggestion...I guess from my perspective...you are responsible for what you do...and there is no excuse...I think people have been mislead and lied to from both sides in regards to the current middle East crisis...interesting topic though and worth to read more about...wine

Thanks for your comments...it maybe just that but I find it worth looking at various theories to get a better understanding at why people do such dreadful things...it may help prevent such atrocities or at least gain a new perspective...
Hi Lou,

Reading through this and the other comments here is a snippet of information we had our own Serial Killer...not a Nurse but a Doctor:



Well over 250 patients as far as we know above average intelligence no known bumps on the head....just evil and greedy.
More information:

Officially, Dr. Harold Shipman murdered at least 215 of his patients – 171 women and 44 men ranging in age from 41 to 93. After a year-long public inquiry, the 2,000-page report into his 23-year murder spree was released by High Court Judge Dame Janet Smith. The records of nearly 500 patients of Shipman’s who died while in his care between 1978 and 1998 were scrutinized in the investigation.
Wow...Stedan....that's awful! There's so much evil out there. How sad blues
Lou,

Good blogwine Thanksteddybear
Hello LouLou,wave Good blog, It gets a person thinking.

Thanks for your comment and information...I have heard of some murderers in England such as Shipman and another one named West...my title may have given you the impression that I was referring to a nurse who kills but it is the other way around...a man named Richard Speck killed approx. eight nursing students in their living quarters...

Equally mysterious is why any Doctor or Nurse kills their patients?...makes me wonder...
Boredom coupled with a belief they are all powerful and the dead won't be autopsied.

Thanks for your comment and will look into your suggestion of reading that book...always found what makes people tick fascinating...another person that is an interesting study is the man called The Iceman...born in an unpleasant environment and became a hit man for the mob...he excelled at this due to his inability to feel any remorse...it was just a job!!
crazy
Thanks for dropping by...and thanks for helping me put the videos here...much appreciated!!cheers wine
1to1

usha
If you are squeamish about the topic...skip the video...and just read the comments...lol...but it is just a news report nothing gruesome in the clip...a matter of fact account...hope your good!!wine cheers
Lou, I'm good. Thank you.hug Hope you are too.
wine
With that video being on a nurse killer and you are a nurse....I suppose that would make me a little uneasy. :( But, one cannot live life being scared...now careful is another story. :)
john
The nurses were the victims...Richard Speck is the killer...lol...should have phrased it better!!...but there are a few nurse and doctor who kill their patients...don't sleep...wine uh oh
