  1. For a man who was feeble minded, he sure did succeed in constantly getting the better of the police and the courts.

  2. I knew a guy who lived near him and he said there was always a very creepy vibe from the place: whenever you'd walk past the house, he said, you could see the curtain upstairs twitching so you knew he was watching you. Monster is a word that suits him perfectly.

  3. I myself feel most sorry for the murder victim, but there again the victim was a man so probably doesn't register in your spectrum of empathy.

  4. Woah. Very, very lucky. Someone was looking out for you.

  5. There are perpetrators and victims on both sides: look at how many men are cheated on then crucified in divorce courts afterwards: or how many men find out the children they have been raising aren't even their's. Misandry isn't going to change facts.

  6.  @Emily.R.W  "Abusive father". I guess we have the wife's word for that. I knew a man who was murdered by his wife and her - female - lover. Before they murdered him she blackened his name all around the area with lies about him being an abuser. A lot of innocent men have been hit with that tag, too. And before you try to paint me with the 'victim blaming' brush I was involved in a long and intense campaigned to get justice for a disabled women who was the child victim of a very well connected gang that included men and women. You have her word that he as abusive. Without proof I'm hesitant to believe that, especially in light of how many innocent men are accused of that very thing regularly. Btw - that woman I told you about who murdered her husband after slandering him? She got away scot free. All they did was confiscate her passport.

  7.  @HGWTPaladin  That's rue, unfortunately. We live in a world where some of the worst animals get away scot free with their crimes - while innocent men go to prison and have their lives destroyed.

  8.  @saymyname2417  Exactly. Well said. Some characters will justify anything.

  9. @ Just popped back to have another look and laugh at your profile picture. How's your dating life going? Lol.

  10.  @jetswade_rapbot  Exactly. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for that poor child.

  11. How that guy escaped the death penalty I'll never know. I remember decades later, shortly before his death, he was asked how he felt about his victims after all this time: "The same as I always felt" he replied "I feel nothing".

  12. Well, hold on - look at the amount of cases in which the most monstrous murderers were allowed to stand trial and serve sentences - and others who were even released through lack of evidence - and none of them were ever lynched. One unique incident of 2 murderers being lynch isn't an indictment of society as a whole.

  13. British Justice. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

  14.  @Nutmegowns1  Is that what happened to you? I'm sorry to hear it but projecting won't solve your problem.

  15. I'd go one step further: maybe he didn't wait. I wouldn't be surprised if he had killed her. There was a claim that some people who were renovating his house after he died found a note in which he confessed that he had poisoned her to "put her out of her misery". He was certainly deranged enough. He was a sick, sick individual and a criminal.

  16.  @saymyname2417  True.

  17.  @pinky0558  I'd agree to a large degree if he hadn't murdered and ate a toddler.

  20. That was a very interesting and well written memory. Thank you.

  21. They did a separate episode on that one about a year ago.

  22. Tanzler: I always suspected he murdered that poor young woman himself. Dark and sick individual who should have been thrown in jail or put in an asylum: that note that was discovered years later comes as no surprise.

  23. I remember those shows from years ago. I never knew anything about this, 'though.

  24. I'd go one step further. I think he poisoned her. He was a deeply disturbed felon who belonged in a facility for the criminally insane. He was a savage.

  25. I had seen a documentary some years ago about the Mary Celeste that theorised it was carrying cargo that caused a type of explosion below deck - from the release of gasses: the crew jumped ship to a lifeboat, but stayed tethered to the ship while they assessed what to do next: the ship didn't catch fire and all seemed okay but, unfortunately, a prevailing wind caught the sails and sent the ship moving again. As it picked up speed the crew had no way of getting back aboard and either the lifeboat capsized or the rope snapped (or was cut to prevent it from capsizing), leaving them afloat in the ocean as the ship sailed into the distance.

  26.  @eifionjones559  Ah. Nice one. I'll look out for that documentary again. It was very well made.

  27.  @s.a.t.a.n6216  Lol - survival of the fittest in nature - said mostly by people who wouldn't last 5 minutes in the wild - but I can understand, given your channel name, how you would justify the murder of a child.

  28. I agree. I doubt if he was the Ripper.

  29. "racist and misogynistic". No - they were just idiots. Many doctors are the same, even today, and you don't have to be a woman or non-white to be a victim of that attitude.

  30. Kind of weird that they kidnapped him for a ransom....but then murdered him straight away. But there again I guess neither of them were rocket scientists.

  31. It may seem bizarre that children went back to his lodgings after being promised a free meal but what a lot of people don't realise is that, after WW1, the draconian measures that the Versailles Treaty imposed on Germany kept the nation in a constant state of poverty and starvation.

  32. Do an episode on the Suffragette 'White Feather Girls of WW1', aka the 'Order Of the White Feather'. No one seems to want to touch that.
