I sometimes consider carrying pictures of known serial killers.

Every once in a while someone will tell me I look like a serial killer either in a picture I show them or in person. I'd like to carry around pictures of Ted Bundy, Richard Ramerez, The Green River Killer, Jeffery Dahmer, and BTK and ask the person if I looked like any of those guys. I think the Media exploited Charles Manson to make the general "Straight" population afraid of hippies to the point that if a man has long hair and a beard he "Looks Like Manson".

I know what you mean...

 

LOL.

''-hey man, you look like a serial killer.
-I don't think so, by the way, I happen to carry pictures of several serial killers at all times. Come, I will show you.
-I'm good! **runs off**''

I dont think it would help your case lol

 

^^^ This... would be my main reason for doing so... :2thumbsup:

 

hahaha

 

Actually I was thinking because all of the ones that I mentioned looked so "Normal". Clean cut, somewhat handsome the type you wouldn't suspect. And none of them look like me. Educational purposes so to speak.

:rofl: This thread...
I know what you mean, JC. The whole "can't judge a book by its cover" deal. But hopefully they wouldn't take it as "it's the clean-cut ones you have to worry about." George Carlin had a bit about how people say "It's the quite ones you gotta watch":

"They always say "It's the quiet ones you gotta watch." Evey time they catch a serial killer, they get his neighbor on TV and they say "He was always very quiet". And someone in the room says "Its the quiet ones you gotta watch."
This sounds to me like a dangerous assumption. I'll bet you anything, that while you're watching a quiet one, a noisy one will fuckin kill you!
Imagine you're were in a bar and a guy was in the corner reading a book, not bothering anyone, and there's another guy by the door jumping up and down screaming with a machete yelling " I'll kill the next motherfucker who comes in here!!!"
....Who you gonna watch?"

 

I actually went to court to contest a ticket one time. Since it was a vehicle registration violation it was dealt with in a night court, not traffic court. So it was packed full of drug dealers, rapists, people accused of assault and battery, whatever. I had all my paperwork and proof that I was innocent and when my name was called I handed all that to the bailiff. The judge looked at the papers for a minute, looked at me and said "you are clearly not guilty, but out of everybody else on your side of the bar you are the one that looks guilty to me"

I was the only one there with long hair and a full beard...

 

That's really fucked up. A fucking DMV ticket amongst felons. Dafuq :frown:

 

Did the biggest, baddest, mother killin' father raper in the room ask you what you did?

The only thing that most serial killers have similar is their eyes. Their eyes are either very cold and distant or very desperate and angry. Well, the desperate angry is more common with spree killers, but yeah.

 

I think the issue is how much you care about what other people think.

If this bothers you a lot, and you are not attached to the way you look, you could get your hair cut short and shave your beard. If the area beneath your eyes is dark, I think that they have some product that makes it look lighter.

You could also flip them the bird and not give a fuck what they think.

There is probably also some middle path too.

Wearing glasses might adjust your image. Also maybe a change in clothing.

Unfortunately, a lot of people in our society are obsessed with superficiality, and can be real assholes. It would be nice if we had a more tolerant and less judgmental society, but we don't. Even people who are well suited to being non-conformists pay a certain price for non-conformity.

You would think that berkely would be more chill

 

:rofl: ... Nope, but I thought of that when I was trying to figure out if I was in the correct room.

 

I guess I'm a little sensitive lately. I'm 6 months out of a 5 year relationship and trying my hand at online dating. I almost feel like the "you look like a serial killer comments are what I'm projecting in that medium. But it's funny that even with my hair cut short, fashionably coiffed and a neatly trimmed goatee I still get followed through supermarkets by security guards.

Their is a double sided kind of judgment that happens in the Bay Area the conformists will judge you for being too nonconformist and the nonconformists will judge you for being too conformist. I went to an Anarchist Book Fair once and felt like I was being treated like shit because I didn't have a pink mohawk.

Carry pictures of Snap, Crackle, and Pop and ask if that was the cereal they were thinking of... I usually kill a bowl of oatmeal in the morning- haven't killed any cereal in a while.

 

Pink Is Just Wrong, Remember, Pink for Girls, Blue For Boys...

Even Making Allowances For His Femanine Side, I Feel The Rev And Pink Do Not Sit Well....



Cheers Glen.

 

...you mean you don't have a pink mohawk???
