Fresh Flesh to Eat and Skulls of Souvenirs Many of us know serial killers, such as Jason and Freddy Krueger, but those are just characters in movies. Have you ever thought that these movies depict or can actually happen in real life? Well, it sucks to say, but they could. Infamous serial killers are known for killing many innocent people. They seek their victims selectively and/or randomly. Murdering people in general is sick and brutal; it affects people all around the world. Serial killers are often psychotic, and suffer from mental disorders or they may feel the need to behave like this because of past events that has happened or childhood experiences.

There are reasons for mass execution, but there will never be enough reasons to give the victims their lives back. On May 21, 1960, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Joyce and Lionel Dahmer gave birth to a boy that they named Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. Jeffrey Dahmer’s years of youth were not at its greatest.

Once it’s too late, there’s no taking back what they did. The victims’ families have to suffer because of one person’s actions, and that is why it isn’t at all
