You’re in for a treat with the night stalker. He’s one of the absolute scariest serial ki**ers of all time because his victims were completely random. The only thing they had in common was that he saw an opening and took it.
Kaireem, anyone could become a killer depending on circumstances. I happen to be acquainted with one of these gentlemen , as a matter of fact. He's the reason I studied abnormal psychology in college. One factor is how a child is raised (nurture). Children who are abused, SA'd, emotionally or physically neglected are more prone to assault/murder than those who have a good childhood. I can speak from experience as I suffered all 3 types of abuse from the age of 4. The other important component is genetic/biological issues that affects their brain development. People you refer to as psychopaths have brain structure anomolies with their amygdala and prefrontal cortex. This can have a reduction in the way they feel empathy, fear, risk taking and can affect their emotional regulation. Note: the majority of people with these brain anomalies are NOT violent. If they have a secure homelife, you might never know it and you probably DO know one. A childs brain can also become this way in utero by having a mother who drinks heavily or abuses drugs while pregnant or suffers physical trauma in the womb. Again, this is something I also experienced . So, it takes nature plus nurture to create the "perfect storm".
@@wolfe6220 thank you letting me know more. This really helps me wanting to understand what makes them Tick. Sorry for what you went through and I seem like you may of known Ed from the other comment you have left. Was that who you u were acquainted with? It’s all so fascinating to hear 😊
@KaireemReactions Yep. I saw an article in the newspaper about 3 years after he turned himself in. First thing I noticed was that he was the spitting image of my oldest half brother. Then I'd read what he had done, and the fact we had both been abused in a similar manner. Reading about his case is what made me study abnormal psychology 6 years later in college . I was told I could do a project for extra credit, and I'd just read somewhere that Ed liked to correspond. So I wrote him. He wrote back. It's been over 30 years now. I sometimes visit him. First time I went to visit it was a shock how tall he is. Getting a hug from him is really quite the experience. Sitting down, he's *still* taller than me, lol. Anyway, he views me as a tiny, younger sister (his real younger sister is 6' 1". she's the shortest one in the family). We still communicate, mostly by video chat (he loves his tablet). Last time I visited was this past June. He mostly uses a wheelchair now (he had a stroke 10 years ago, and has a little trouble walking), just turned 76 and still kicking. He's had an amazing life in prison. If you didn't know his backstory, you'd never think that he could do what he did.
Oh I'm waiting for this 🤩😃
You should react to south park too :D
@@pszichografo South Park ?
I think I watched this one a long time ago judging by the thumbnail. It is really good. One of my favorite serial killer interview videos.
It’s very interesting… it’s a few clips from different ones but such a cool insight to it all 😊
Hey! Ed's in this! 😁 Damn, he's so young in this.....

@@zestaskouson574 really ?? I’m going to see when I got time to look into his Documentary or longer video to know more 😊
