We're the Only Ones Likeable Enough

A former police sergeant convicted of raping four women was sentenced to 440 years in prison Tuesday...

Prosecutors used dozens of witnesses and evidence found in Pelo's home to portray him as a man obsessed with violent pornography who paradoxically wanted his victims to like him.
I must have missed that chapter...let's see:
Six ways to make people like you
1. Become genuinely interested in other people.
2. Smile.
3. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
5. Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
6. Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.

Nope--nothing about raping them. Maybe that only works for "Only Ones."

  1. Some people are just sadists.
    The 10-year-old boy here who shot his 5-year-old niece, killing her, now is said to have a history of trying to hurt other children. Burning them, trying to get them into scalding water, trying to smother a baby as it was sleeping, and urinating on another sleeping child.
    Even Hannibal Lecter needed a REASON. This is more like Michael Meyers.
    The little bastard is in custody of social services. If he ever gets out into the general population -- and, knowing this city, he will -- bad things will happen to people around him who expect humans to behave humanly.
