Strangely fascinating...


I agree with some of the other posters on here....there is something strangely fascinating about the ICEMAN. You almost feel sorry for him at some points during the show. I think everyone should watch his interviews. Some people are saying they are glad he is burning in hell. That he is a monster. It is easy to dismiss someone if you label them a monster. Then you can act like they are not human. They are a MONSTER. A non-human label You can dismiss them. What Richard Kuklinski's interviews show us are that even people who do unimaginably horrible things are human also.
That is why it is so scary. All human beings have the capacity for great evil or great good. We all want deep down to be loved. Some people just get way off the mark. I am not condoning in any way what he did, but he was brought up a certain way, and mixed with his personality, his childhood made him grow up to be the way he was.

I have a brother who is extremely bi-polar, and at times, was extremely violent. I still love him even though I hate what he did. Richard's daughter still loves her dad for the good times, even with the horrible things he did to even his family. To dismiss people as monsters ignores the fact that we are all human beings, and that some people just like us have done extremely evil things. Most issues aren't black and white. Human beings, yes humans like you and me, have the capacity for great good and also great evil.

Good post and I agree. Having qualifications in the field of psychology, I am fundamentally against the use of the label ''monster'' and even ''evil''. As for burning in an eternal hell, that is yet another good example of the cruelty of humanity. No finite crime deserves an infinite punishment.
