Killer Company (Part Two)
Eulea Parot lived in Florence County, South Carolina when she gave birth to the youngest in a string of five illegitimate children. Donald Henry "Pee Wee" Gaskins entered the world March 31, 1933, to a mother that barely noticed his birth. At the tender age of just one year, while left unattended, Gaskins drank a bottle of kerosene. This caused severe seizures until he was three years old. His mother brought men in and out of her house, paying little attention to the treatment her children received by the men. Donald, because of his small stature and big attitude, was often the target of the beatings around the house. Gaskins attended school until he tired of the daily beatings by his peers and the castigation of his teachers at the age of 11, when he dropped out in favor of working a full day at a local auto repair garage.

Good Conscience
Last December I was arrested for a DUI charge and spent the night in jail. In October of 2019 I plead guilty for “Wet Reckless” charges taking a deal from the district attorney. I'm on three years’ probation, I have to complete three months of DUI classes, another online class, and will end up paying over $7,000 in fines and fees. I lost my job three months after my arrest and background checks have haunted me since.

Killer Company, Part One
Killer Company, Part One Andrei Chikatilo Ukranian cannibal, Andrei Chikatilo. Andrei Chikatilo was born in 1936 in the village of Yablochnoye in Ukraine to an absent father and a brutal, domineering mother. His mother claimed he had an older brother that was stolen and subsequently eaten by neighbors, a tale that wasn't hard to believe as Andrei was born during the agricultural recession to farmer parents. His young life was brutal, with his mother often reminding him of what happened to his brother. School was not easy for Andrei either. He was a small child and much weaker than his peers. After his father committed the unforgivable sin of being taken hostage as a prisoner of war during World War II, the schoolchildren found Andrei's father to be a traitor instead of a victim, and they punished Andrei for it every chance they got. Even through all the bullying at school and horrendous conditions, he lived inside his parents ramshackle shanty, and Chikatilo was an exceptional student and maintained high grades.

Talking Star: 'Are Black People Really on Code?'
Mr. Torain is an informant. He tells. He’s a snitch. And this is meant in the best way. Star testifies that he got caught lacking and that a young lady may be on Instagram with a photo of her and Star in the bed. Mr. Torain then switches lanes and talks about the judge hugging Guyger and giving her a Bible. Next, Star breaks down how there’s a difference between bleach blonde and natural. White women who have naturally blonde hair want the “goddess look.” Bleach blondes are just reaching.

He ponders whether as a group, blacks can better themselves in the context of the “greater good.”

Talking Star: Amber Guyger Found Guilty in Dallas County
The duel of topics motivates Troi “Star” Torain. He becomes animated and more focused as he launches into the show. He discusses how the judge in the Amber Guyger murder trial should be dubbed a different name. And in Bruce Lee fashion, Torain switches topics with ease like a swift kick to side of the head. He talks about how hip hop architects Rakim and MC Serch might go to blows over alleged writings that occurred decades ago. Then, he turns back to the Guyger case seamlessly. The Castle Doctrine which upholds a citizen’s rights to be immune to laws that would normally be offenses if they take place in said citizen’s vehicle or home came into the conversation. Star finds this to be damning in this case. Botham Jean was in the comfort of his home when he was shot to death by Guyger. With just a turn on the winding road of discourse, Star once again talks about Rakim and MC Serch. He states that the former is angry at the latter over the aforementioned writing fallout. He says that there’s “nothing worse than an old clout chaser.”

Most Vicious Killers: Ed Gein
The Inspiration Throughout our lives in the modern era, we hear about psychopathic killers and the depravity they’ve shown in their crimes. We are so interested in these people that we watch horror movies, create our own scary stories, or even document some of true crime’s favorite stories, as even I am doing currently. While we hear about shootings and stabbings often enough to be seemingly desensitized to this type of violence, there are still some acts of perversion that cause some of us to flinch when we hear of them. Of course, while most horror movies are completely fictional, there are some that are based on real people. Silence of the Lambs, as well as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are both works of fiction. However, the villains in these movies are not just works of a writer’s imagination. They are based on real life serial killer, graverobber, and necrophile, Edward Theodore Gein.

Reason First: How Many Theodore Bensons Are in the World?
To die in prison is a strange fate. It means that a person who clearly committed the crime now must meet his or her death for what they had done wrong. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, just under 20,000 men and women perished behind jail or prison walls between the years 2007 and 2010. In Delaware, convicted murderer Theodore Benson was the latest case of this face of death. While investigators continue to work on the case, it appears that Benson passed away from natural causes at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Kent County.
