Jeffrey Dahmer, Serial Killer
Hey Halloweenies! This is the #100DaysOfHorror post number 80, and I want to share you some interesting facts that I found about Jeffrey Dahmer, yes The Milwaukee Cannibal.
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994), also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, was an American serial killer and sex offender, who committed the rape, murder, and dismemberment of seventeen men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Many of his later murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the permanent preservation of body parts, typically all or part of the skeletal structure.
Jeffrey Dahmer drilled holes into the heads of some of his victims, some of which regained consciousness during the ordeal. He then injected acid or boiling water into their brain. They remained alive for up to hours following this “procedure”. He prolonged their pain, if anything. He didn’t just straight out murder them, he drilled holes into their heads and left them to die, all the while raping them. He even did this to Konerak Sinthasomphone, who was just 14-years-old.

I can think of countless other serial killers that dispatched of their victims as soon as possible and in the easiest way possible. Dahmer was not one of them. There seems to be this massive misconception that Dahmer just drugged people and then killed them before they had any concept of what was going on, but that’s not true. He drugged men in clubs and raped them. He drugged and raped young boys. He brought men home and drugged them and threatened and tainted them before raping and killing them. His surviving victim made it clear he handcuffed him and then told him what he was going to do to him. He didn’t wait for them to be unconscious - he mentally tortured them - explaining what he had done to other victims and explaining how he would kill and eat them.
The romanticised version of Dahmer as a lonely soul is a joke. He was brutal. He was ruthless. He did not discriminate. He told the police that 14-year-old Konerak was his boyfriend when he managed to briefly escape from his apartment. He was bleeding from the head and anus from being drilled in the head and anally raped so violently. He was conscious when he escaped. He was conscious when he was taken back to Dahmer’s house and killed. He felt everything.
You can sympathise with aspects of someone’s life, but to flat out deny his atrocities is just wrong and disrespectful to those who he killed.
