The ‘Lone Actor’ Terrorism Attacks No One Can Prevent
On a warm and pleasant evening in June 2020, dozens of people were relaxing in Forbury Gardens, a park in Reading, England. People were sitting on the grass, in small groups of friends. Some were drinking a beer or a glass of wine: Some were having a picnic. England was gradually coming out of Covid-19 lockdown, and people were enjoying their renewed freedom. There had been a ‘Black Lives Matter’ event in the park earlier that day, and some people in the park had been in attendance.

Martin Shkreli and the Failure of Capitalist “Justice”
The news is abuzz with tales of justice. Martin Shkreli, the vulture capitalist that everyone loves to hate, has finally been convicted and sent to jail. But this conviction has taken place years after the crimes that Shkreli committed. More than simply a result of the slow process of the court system, Shkreli was at first somewhat insulated from the consequences of his massive price hike for the anti-retroviral drug Daraprim, from about $12 per pill, to about $750 per pill. Obviously, this makes Daraprim literally unaffordable for most AIDS-infected people, but this was not the crime that Shkreli was convicted of, and that is precisely the problem.

Mikhail Popkov: Why is This Russian Serial Killer Cop Known as 'The Werewolf'?
Mikhail Popkov is a relatively new serial killer to enter the hall of reprobate murderers, having been apprehended in June of 2012. In case you couldn't tell by his name, he was a Russian serial killer. Active between 1992 and (possibly) 2012, Popkov was successfully convicted of 78 murders, although he apparently confessed to over 80. Mikhail Popkov is interesting for another reason, too: He used to be a police officer.

True Story - The real story of Collar Bomb Heist 2003
A middle-aged pizza shipper named Brian Wells walked into a PNC bank in Erie, Pennsylvania on August 28, 2003. His right hand had a small cane, and under the collar of his T-shirt was a peculiar bulge. Wells, 46 and balding, handed a note to the teller. "Gather workers with vault access codes and work quickly to fill the $250,000 bag," it said. "You just have 15 minutes." Then he lifted his shirt to expose a bulky box-like gadget hanging from his throat. It was a bomb, according to the note.

Arthur John Shawcross
The amount of cannibals in American history is probably a lot higher than you’d expect. People with a desire to murder have a pretty big Venn diagram circle with people who have a craving for human flesh. People like Arthur Shawcross, the Rochester, NY based killer who killed 12 women and ate the genitals of several of them.

Richardson Family Murders
In April 2006, in Medicine Hat, Canada, everyone in Jasmine Richardson’s family was killed except her. But her life wasn’t miraculously spared nor was she heartbroken. That’s because the deaths of the Richardson family were the result of a murder at the hands of 12-year-old Jasmine and her 23-year-old boyfriend, Jeremey Steinke.

Halloween's most evil monster
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I can remember how excited I got as a kid every October. I often received a bag of candy from school from my teacher and classmates. And then once my brothers and I got home, we couldn’t wait to get into our Halloween costumes and visit our neighbors for candy.

Who is the "Trunk Murderess"
Over the past weekend, I was in Arizona visiting family. My brother found a guided haunted tour by Spirit of Arizona Tours (I highly recommend! Our guide was AMAZING and very educational) on Saturday October 17th, 2020 I was taken for a horrifying ride of a lifetime. The photo above may look like just an ordinary house sitting on an ordinary street… but as we all know the saying “You can’t see what happens behind closed doors…” and that saying is practically a statement when it comes to Winnie Ruth Judd.
