Democratic Drug Den

[Rev. Rye]

Mild Dahmer.

It might just be my having listened to a lot of Last Podcast on the Left episodes lately, but something about this case tells me comparing him to Dahmer feels inadequate. Sounds a bit closer to Harold Shipman, without the medical pretenses. Maybe if it turns out he cannibalised a few of his victims or that he had to get wasted before doing it. Mostly a combination of this Breaking Bad scene:




and this scene from American Psycho




And weighing in on the title controversy, looking at the article, I have to agree with the many other people who take issue with singling out Ed Buck's status as a Democratic donor. Did he involve other Democratic politicians in this horseshit? Was there something in his crimes that paralleled his ideology? No? Then that is incidental. John Wayne Gacy was involved in Chicago's Democratic Party, and Ted Bundy was involved in Republican Party politics (including being a Nelson Rockefeller delegate to the 1968 Republican National Convention), and I think describing them as "Democratic Serial Killers" or "Republican Serial Killers" is a bit disingenuous.
