Howdy, folks.
Colin Wilson, in his Mammoth Book of True Crime 2, claims that in his experience members of two occupations do not ordinarily commit lustmord: butchers and artists. He maintains that people already professionally engaged in the act of butchering animals do not develop the elaborate blood-fantasies that lead to lustmord and that artistic types are able to pour these fantasies into their craft. Unfortunately, Mr. Wilson provides little in the way of evidence to back up these claims. Do his theories pan out? In particular, are artists under-represented in the field of murder? And if so, does this mean that the purported Ripper material in Sickert's paintings actual serve as counter-evidence that he was the Ripper? |

Hi Jeff,
You wrote "are artists under-represented in the field of murder"? I take no pleasure in telling you this , but the biggest murdering bastard ghoul in history was an out of work artist: His name was Adolph Hitler. |

Stuart,
Hitler ordered the murders,and not to my knowledge, commit them with his own hand. Therefore, he is not guilty of lustmord. |

Hi Turnage,
You are 100% right when you say he did not commit all of the 2nd World War murders. However Turnage, I think that it is a case of - if he could have killed all by his own hand he would have , but it was not practicle. So we are talking points of technicallity here. Thanks. |
