Fun Fact: So Dahmers MO was drugging his victims , putting sleeping pills in their drinks to instantly make them unconscious so that he could perform lewd acts on them before ultimately murdering them . Well, one time there was an incident where he lured a potential victim back to his place & made the drinks only this time Dahmer actually drank the spiked drink himself ..therefore immediately falling asleep on his victim ..when he woke up he noticed that the victim had robbed him and left . I thought that was an interesting case of luck and karma and ironically, a survivor story as well

But I think Even Peters did great at playing him in a way that showed people just how sick he was. The one problem I have with the show is the depiction of Tracy Edwards. He clearly stated in court that he was not homosexual in any way, but they still wrote his character to be gay in the show for absolutely no reason at all. There’s nothing wrong with being gay, I’m gay myself.

[@louieadam251]

The first witness told to the cops what happened to him with Dahmer in the apartment I was curious what cops did and why they did not fully investigated or list Dahmer as predator. In that way no serial killings should have happened. I think there was something wrong in a justice system back then. Sorry for all the victims.

[@wadewilson8011]

The justice system is just as flawed now as it was then. See, you're seeing a lot of the AFTERMATH of things that happened years ago. This, BLM, police brutality, police injustice, racism, anti-homosexualism, and all this other stuff you see on social media, the news, and documentaries are a result of the outrage from people who were treated poorly. There was and still is a different of how different cultures are treated by law enforcement and the judicial system. This is why more Gen Zoomers should do their homework and research before jumping on the bandwagons of people who actually CAUSE these problems.

[@CelesteBou]

The first witness is the older Sinthashomphone brother. Dahmer went to prison for molesting him in 1988. Three years later they let him out and then he went on to kill the younger Sinthasomphone boy.

I was thinking about how he when he was a kid he had a fixation with torturing and killing animals….warning signs. How many times do we hear of bizarre crazy people torturing and killing animals. I worked with 3 of one of the victims siblings and they were so worried he hadn’t come home. The police really dropped the ball on that case!

[@northerngirl1637]

...and torturing and killing animals should be much more than warning signs. The animals' lives warrant much more attention simply for the heinous crimes that they are and not just how this can signal harm to human beings.

[@redrumtruecrime]

@CarriUSA Dahmer would search the roadsides for road kill at first, he'd disect and clean up the bones by soaking in acid. When road kill became scarce that's when he'd steal dogs and cats in the neighbourhood. His father Lionel was a chemist who introduced Jeff to acid and how different strengths could be used to clear away tissue and organs thus leaving the skeletal remains intact, then what strength would reduce to sludge, bones and all. He encouraged this weird hobby and psychologists said because Jeff was attracted to this macabre obsession during puberty, this was a pivotal point in his life which fused sexual arousal with the feel of visceral matter. That was the sensation Dahmer sought out as an adult and switched it up from animals to young lean, fit physique of teens / men. It seemed to me that Jeff's father wasn't concerned about his sons fascination with all things dead, so long as he was occupied with something. Dahmers mother was on heavy psych meds, and mainly "out of it" especially when she drank on top of them. Lionel was overwhelmed with returning from a day's work then coming home to deal with his wife, feeding the kids etc. This stress of his led to him ignoring his eldest sons need for guidance at a really important stage of his life. He always stood by his son throughout the trial and conviction, whether this was out of guilt, who knows? But he divorced his wife and remarried a woman who had to accept what his son had done and that he supported him, so she accompanied Lionel to prison visits etc. Lionel was convinced Jeff had something genetically abnormal with his brain and strangely enough he fought his exwife in court over ownership of Jeff's brain when he died. The ex wanted to send it to be scientifically tested, possibly displayed ( much like Jeff's animal parts in jars ). His dad won the case. No abnormalities were found in Dahmers autopsy, so I guess he was buried intact, which is more than can be said for his victims.

[@jp23x]

I struggle with some of the issues around Dahmer's minor victims. All three were lured away by Dahmer ...but why were these boys out and about in the suspect places in the middle of the night. The first victim, James Doxtator,was 13 years old loitering on a corner where a cluster of gay bars were. The next minor who is testifying here,..testifies he met Dahmer outside a bar at closing time ..he was 15...it's a miracle he wasn't killed by Dahmer, but where are the parents of these boys?? Why are they roaming the streets basically soliciting in the middle of the night. And for the love of God, you would think the parents of the brother who was molested, would have been hyper vigilant about knowing where and what their children were doing, endorsing curfews and the like. Yet Dahmer inexplicably was able to lure Konerak Symthensaphone, this boys brother, away yet again from the corner in front of a bar late at night..and I say lure, not abduct, because like the 2 previous boys, he simply flashed some cash and he went to his death. Im definitely not victim shaming these poor children, I' just think there was some lax parenting in all three cases, especially the last on.

[@CelesteBou]

Actually Konerak met Dahmer in the afternoon, not during the night. It wasn't a suspect place, it was a mall. Netflix depicted this wrong. JD drugged the kid during the afternoon, then he fell asleep/unconscious, then he woke up at night and escaped
