Poor man. I understand his fetish to wear women under clothes.

being called awesome, is subjective. Again, the reason that he is called as such, was not revealed. So silence lil girl. You are arguing with everyone, and totally ignoring the arguments that others have stated. You are not mature enough to bother with IMO

@brothaman007 I am not acting like a 10 year old...and he is NOT awesome!

[brothaman007]

@hope14alison after reading much of this topic, and seeing how you act like a 10 year old...

please do not quote me again.

@hope14alison Psychopaths don't have the empathy dictating what they do and don't do like the rest of human beings. I understand this. Not all psychopaths are killers, I know... most aren't killers.

I also understand we cannot treat or cure them right now. Obviously. I never said we could. But to say we will never discover a way is absolute ignorance and a self fulfilling prophecy. Scientific discoveries consist entirely of things we now understand but didn't before.

@sk8tafrnk try: Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us by Robert D. Hare. He spent his life studying psychopaths. He talks about GENUINE psychopaths. Psychopaths don't feel nor understand as we do. They cannot be rehabilitated. They can learn to act the part in order to fit in with society, but they fail to follow through as human beings. Not all psychopaths are killers.

@mlc2005 The book "A New Kind of Monster" reveals tons of unknown facts about Williams. Women have come forward and reported him in their yards, trying to lure them into his car etc. His behavior was obviously getting out of control. It's the Belleville Police that insisted he be put under surveillance at the roadside check and a Belleville Officer who first noted an SUV in Jessica Lloyd's field along with a civilian witness. This helped narrow the search and likely saved another life.

@hope14alison the spilloff pain and suffering he's caused is hard to comprehend, and then the tax payer has to pick up the tab to house and feed him... it's around 110K per year!

@hope14alison they removed the faint hope clause last year. personally i am against it. i think the mandatory sentence when serving life sentences is 5 years. after 5 years your sentence can be commuted if on good behaviour and the courts decide you no longer pose a risk. i believe in the 5 years or so the inmate serves their life sentence they should be rehabilitated and make sure they become literate and skilled in a trade to reduce the risk of reoffending.

@hope14alison They were going to charge him with child porn as well. He was willing to plead guilty to rape and murder but not child porn. The 2 murders puts him away for life so they let it go, likely to spare the victims a lengthy trial.
