Serial Killer of the Month: John Wayne Gacy
Archived
(Content Warning: Sexual Assault/Murder)
The character of John Wayne Gacy was in little doubt for many years, at least to most of those who lived in the community around him. He was a nice, hard-working, driven, organizer, who dabbled in politics, and was a successful entrepreneur. If anybody had bad things to say about him, it was that he was loud-mouthed, and a blowhard: unless, of course, Gacy had sexual desires for them. Then, as often as not, he skull fucked them, stuffed glass bottles or other items up their asses and had strangled them with a device which he affectionately referred to as the “hammer trick.”
Gacy wasn’t always such a bad guy. On his first sexual encounter, as a teen, he got as far as undressing his date, a girl, when he, much to his own and her horror, fainted.
His mother was convinced that little John was a sickly child, and as a result, spent his childhood on various drugs and was dubbed a little faerie by his father. He never gained the love of his father, often receiving violent beatings at the hands of the drunken John Gacy Sr. but that isn’t the reason for Gacy’s horrible crimes.
Gacy’s basic personality makeup was that of a sociopath, he felt absolutely no remorse for any of his victims. His entire life, according to psychiatrists who examined him in the hospital after his first arrest for assault and sodomy, was a long series of, “poor John” having unfortunate things happen to him. Boys would consent to have sex with him, and then run claiming he had raped him. This sort of thing. Even when his murder spree ended and he was being interviewed by police, he admitted that he killed the thirty something boys because they were all hustlers who tried to cheat him, or had attacked him. He claimed all the encounters were by mutual consent that he never forced anybody to do anything which they didn’t want. Ten years after his trial and death sentence, he claimed that there was no evidence of his guilt, and therefore he was innocent. He was, in short, a lying sack of shit.
Gacy was a natural born evil, murderous, coward, who got off pretty easy, all in all, having been mercifully killed by the state. Like a dog, only without the sense of loss one feels when a dog is put down.
