>As I’m sitting there with a severed head in my hand talking to it, or looking at it. And I’m about to go crazy, literally. I’m about to go completely flywheel loose and just fall apart.>I say, ‘Wow, this is insane.’ And then I told myself, ‘No it isn’t, you’re saying that and that makes it not insane.’ I said, ‘I’m sane and I’m looking at a severed… Wait a minute, wait a minute, I’d seen old paintings and drawings of Viking heroes and talking to severed heads and taking them to parties, old enemies in leather bags. Part of our heritage.>That’s just me back then. In 1972, and ‘73. Unable to live with the fact that I just stabbed to death and cut the throat of an innocent young woman.What books do you think he reads in prison? I know he read to the blind.
What did Kemper do again. These serial killers all blur together for me.
>>25510713Started off by shooting his grandparents. Then got cleared by a psych ward after being institutionalised for schizophrenia. He cheated on IQ tests while there and convinced the psychs he was cured. Ended up killing 6 co-eds or teen girls and then murdered his mother’s friend, killed his mother while throatfucking the severed head, and ate some of his victims or slept with their mutilated corpses. He also threw his mother’s larynx down a garbage disposal shredder and threw darts at her head.
>>25510692Fun /lit/ fact: Kemper was a celebrated reader of audio-books for the blind since the 1980s
For me, it's Richard Cottingham.
>>25510692Kemper answering an interview question on a news story covering the Volunteers of Vacaville and their audiobooks for the blind project after he is shown reading Star Wars out loud in a recording booth (and a Georgia state law book after the interview):>What have been your favorite readings?>Sometimes children's books, more and more complex children's books like White's Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, Trumpet of the Swan, which were amazingly complex and before their time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUusOTQlouA
>>25511190>[Jan 29 1987] Ed Kemper has read onto tape cassettes more books for the blind than any other prisoner. He has spent more than 5,000 hours in a booth before a microphone in the last 10 years and has more than four million feet of tape and several hundred books to his credit. [The full list of these books has not been found yet.]>Star Wars by George Lucas>The Rosary Murders by William Kienzle >Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews>Web Between the Worlds by Charles Sheffield>Windmills of the Gods by Sidney Sheldon >Dune, Book 4: God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert>If Tomorrow Comes by Sidney Sheldon>Petals on the Wind by V.C.

>>25511197He contrasts himself with Raskolnikov who feels mounting pressure and fear of being followed by the cops while explaining how he cosied up to them to find out more information about the progress of the investigations into his crimes at The Jury Room, a bar frequented by police officers.>Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, I had read it when I was younger. “(Kemper smiles.) With this criminal who feels the pressure building up inside: Are they following me? And he ends up cracking and confessing. This is a novel. I want to avoid all of that. I had no problem getting information out of these officers. Why? Because of the very structure of the police hierarchy, whose elite is represented by the criminal brigade. They see themselves as the cream of the crop and they like to brag about their exploits in front of other cops. So, there is a certain jealousy and friction between the different services.>As for me, I was doing a little dragging around these simple cops. I didn’t care about being their friend. I had already been in prison. I didn’t like the police. But they were talking to each other about what they’d heard about the case. I was on the periphery. They snubbed me, as they were snubbed by the ‘supercops’ of the Criminal. But I wasn’t bothered by their presence, I didn’t act weirdly in front of them and that’s something they must have felt.>Usually, any citizen who speaks to a police officer in uniform is clumsy, as if he’s guilty of something, even if he’s clean. And I think cops are sensitive to that kind of thing; as soon as they put on a uniform, they know right away that they’re no longer like the others. Relationships are skewed. It’s something that must hurt them somehow. But if I don’t act that way, if I don’t treat them like an insect under the microscope, then I’ve slipped a foot in the crack of the door. Little by little, you learn to pay for beers and get to know each other: ‘How’s it going, Big Ed’, ‘Great, and you, Andy, etc. And a year later, I phone them to tell them, ‘I’m the Co-Ed Killer. I want to surrender. ‘https://edmundkemperstories.com/blog/2019/07/09/kempers-friendship-with-police/
>>25511209He identifies himself with Job.>After the murders, a wave of panic seized him. The events of the last hours were jostling in his head. He thought of his mother. The fact of having cut off her head did not disturb him more than that; after all, she was not the first to whom it happened! And, besides, she was already dead. He who read the Bible so much during his imprisonment [at Atascadero], to the point of identifying himself very much with the character of Job, he saw in the destiny of his mother, the hand of God. It is even more than a symbol when he thought about it: “This hand is the left hand of the Lord, I have always considered my mother as a great being, someone very fierce and sinister. She has always had a great influence on my life, and when she died, I was very surprised to find that her death was like all my other victims, how vulnerable and human she was, which has left a mark on me and still shocks me today. The left hand of the Lord is the one he uses to punish, and I, that guilty and left-handed son, cut off my mother’s left hand. That’s enough to make me flip, right?” https://edmundkemperstories.com/blog/2025/04/20/easter-of-1973/
>>25510869You forgot was going to kill some girls then stopped. Though about things. Realized his mother was the problem. Killed her. Called the police and turned himself in. When he was locked up as a teen the doctors there recommended he never see his mother again. The state released him into his mother's custody.
>>25510869God forbid a guy knows how to party.
>>25511219This is actually a very similar case to Dexter, Only Dexter had a caring father and did not got the way his Brother went.Again, The state fucks up people's lives and does not get accountability.
>Edmund Emil Kemper III was born in Burbank, California, on December 18, 1948.[3] He was the middle child of three children and the only son born to Clarnell Elizabeth Kemper (née Stage, 1921–1973), a native of Montana, and Edmund Emil Kemper Jr. (1919–1985).[4][5] Edmund Jr. was a World War II veteran who, after the war, tested nuclear weapons at the Pacific Proving Grounds Does it strike anyone as odd that so many of these serial killers are one person removed from the United States Armed Forces?
>>25510692Why do blind people need specific audiobooks
>>25511301If you’re American you almost always have a cousin, sister, uncle, etc who’s a marine or something. Especially if you’re older because of Vietnam and Korea.
>>25511301You have to go back, mehmet
>>25511212Why do you know all this shit? Serial killer fan girls are fucking disgusting. Stop posting.
>>25511336>>25511340cope mutts
>>25511336israelis clapping ad laughing their asses off at retarded amerimutts sacrificing themselves for them
>>25511320I think back in the day audiobooks were only used by the fucking blind!
>>25511336I guess so. While I was looking up other serial killers and saw that Bundy's daddy had been a veteran as well it struck me that everyone's dad would have been a veteran if they were born in that timeframe. Things still have to be said about secret agencies experimenting on people turning them into killers, both junkies off the street and GIs in Vietnam. I was interested in that for a bit after I saw Full Metal Jacket then I've given up. Stephen Paddock is still fun to read about though.
>>25510692>murder 1watch the videos yikes
>>25511441His /x/ threads have been great information.
>>25511840Yeah I've jumped on the bandwagon a bit late. Can't say I'd have loved to be browsing /x/ though
>>25511956>Can't say I'd have loved to be browsing /x/ thoughFunnily enough, it's healthier than a lot of boards. But there is a strange notion that /x/ shitposting is somehow different, or of lower quality than all other shitposting across the website.
>>25511967I used to browse it a lot in my teens, I suppose, since I was always conspiracy minded. I'll still click on it a few times per year, see nothing but tulpa threads and larpers, and promptly leave.There's also a lot of pseudo-occultism mixed with astrology and Dungeons of Dragons which I find insulting to the intellect. I don't think it's worth it to sift through the bull crap.
>>25511986Every board has a deluge of bullshit. What do you even mean by "larpers"? All "occultism" means is non socially-acceptable spiritual belief systems (basically anything outside of a monotheistic death cult).
>>25512022>What do you even mean by larpersPeople who pretend to communicate with demons, to perform magic, to astral project, to be gangstalked etc.>All "occultism" means is non socially-acceptable spiritual belief systems That's not what that means, no. What the fuck does "non socially-acceptable" mean anyway at this point? 11 out of 12 Americans found a woman who's murdered her three children not guilty, and dykes are protesting and casting anti-gemini spells outside the courte. I don't think anyone is going to be bullied or ostracized for believing in tulpas and skinwalkers.It's pseudo-occultism, though, like I said, because I suspect very few /x/posters have read the relevant literature. If you base your spirituality on memes and Morrowind lore, I guess I won't accept it as spirituality.
>>25511301During WW2 like 70% of US men aged 18 to 35 were in the military, and between 1950 and 1970 it was like 25-30%, so no that's not odd in the slightest.
>>25512097Yeayea I've taken that back
>>25511336>If you’re American you almost always have a cousin, sister, uncle, etc who’s a marine or something.0/3 with me. Not one cousin, sister, or uncle in the armed forces
>>25511441nobody knows who Bundy's biological father really was.
